Li Zhen changed the topic and said: "I agree with the idea of mobilizing the people. It is a good way to fight with a small number of troops and all the people as soldiers. At this stage, we must twist all the people into a rope and let the people stand with us. Bian, only in this way can a strong force be formed. I plan to give a public speech to call on the people to resist the Russian army."
"Public speech."
After hearing this, Yang Luchan shook his head repeatedly and said, "My lord, it's too dangerous and inappropriate."
Dong Haichuan also spoke to persuade: "Once the people are gathered together, dragons and snakes will be mixed, and I don't think it is advisable."
The two old gentlemen were very worried about Li Zhen's safety.
After Long Ao pondered for a while, he said loudly: "Actually, I think it is feasible. Although people from the three religions and nine streams are not popular, these people are loyal, generous, and loyal. The prince is moved by his affection and reason. , can convince these people, and once the people know that the prince has come to Vladivostok in person, they will definitely recognize the prince even more, prompting more people to fight side by side with the prince. I agree with the prince, only the prince appears in person. Achieve the desired effect."
Long Ao himself came from a rough background and agreed very much with Li Zhen's statement.
Li Zhen laughed and said: "Okay, let's do it, Long Ao, I will leave this matter to you. The time will be set the day after tomorrow. I will give you one day to publicize it and let all the people know that I want to speak."
"Yes." Long Ao said excitedly.
Yang Luchan spoke again: "Your Majesty, your safety..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Zhen interrupted: "Mr. Yang, the people are not tigers, they are our brothers and sisters. If even the people are afraid, it would be really embarrassing for me, the prince."
Li Zhen waved his hands and said: "Okay, let's all go down, do our own things, and prepare for the next war."
"Your Majesty."
Suddenly, King Hu Bei spoke.
Li Zhen asked: "What's the matter?"
King Hu Bei said: "Since the prince knew that Muravyov was going to lead troops to kill him, why didn't he lead the troops to withdraw from Vladivostok? Once the prince withdraws with the soldiers, all dangers will cease to exist."
Li Zhen stared at King Hu Bei with a smile on his lips.
These words were clearly not suggestions, but a test of him and Li Zhen's attitude towards the people.
Because withdrawing from Vladivostok means abandoning the people.
Li Zhenxin was like a mirror and knew the twists and turns, and said loudly: "Vladivostok is our territory. Our compatriots and our brothers and sisters are here. We cannot give up. In the beginning, Yi betrayed his country and sought glory in order to gain the support of the Russians." , handed over the area north of Heilongjiang, including Vladivostok, to the Russians, and sold Vladivostok once."
Speaking of this, Li Zhen's tone became deeper.
He had a solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "When you get to my place, if it is because Muravyov led troops to kill and betray the people again, why do the people support us? To put it in perspective, the reason why the people in the city support us is because of us It is to protect them and then fight for their rights. The people and we are brothers and sisters on the same boat. We are a family under the same sky. Never abandon or give up. This is my oath to the people of Vladivostok. Even if the city is destroyed, I Nor will I abandon the people here."
After saying this, King Hu Bei's expression became even more respectful.
He bowed and bowed to Li Zhen, convinced.
Li Zhen suddenly thought of something and said, "King Hu Bei, did you get the money yesterday?"
King Hu Bei immediately said: "I have received the five thousand taels of silver, and I have distributed it to the brothers below." After King Hu Bei got the remaining three thousand taels of silver, he returned home and talked a lot about it. Two thousand taels of silver were taken out and distributed to the soldiers.
Li Zhen nodded and waved his hand to let everyone leave.
…
Khabarovsk, located on the east bank of the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers, was one of the important northeastern border towns in the early Qing Dynasty. Yi ceded the area north of Heilongjiang, and Khabarovsk was also ceded from the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
Here is the residence of Muravyov, the Governor-General of Eastern Siberia.
Muravyov is about fifty years old, with short hair, splayed eyebrows, two large beards on his lips, thin cheeks, a straight nose bridge, and thin lips. Although he is old, his cheeks appear strong and strong, and his eyes are bright and sharp. Exuding a sense of strength, he was wearing a thick cotton robe and simple clothes. He was holding a brush and writing on rice paper.
His calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, and he can write it in a year or two.
"Report."
A loud voice sounded outside the study, but Muravyov remained indifferent.
He continued to write, and after finishing the entire text, he shouted: "Come in." The soldier opened the door, walked in, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Governor, Chen Yuande from Vladivostok has sent news that a man has appeared in Vladivostok. The Qing army is powerful, and this Qing army annihilated the two thousand garrison in Vladivostok, which is very cunning."
"News from Chen Yuande."
Muravyov frowned and said: "Is there any news?"
"Not yet." The soldier replied.
Muravyov said: "Chen Yuande is by no means a person who can be touched by a small matter. If he takes the initiative, something big will happen." At this point, Muravyov said: "Deploy 30,000 soldiers, we will Take a trip to Vladivostok.”
"ah,."
The soldier said: "Mr. Governor, this is too big a fuss."
Muravyov shook his head and said with a smile: "There are two purposes for mobilizing soldiers. One is to deal with the Qing thieves in Vladivostok, and the other is to prepare for going south. A few days ago, Chen Yuande sent back news that Yi and Li from the south This is a great opportunity for us to expand our territory. This is our focus. As for the Qing thieves in Vladivostok, we can just wipe them out."
"yes."
The soldier nodded in agreement and immediately went to convey the order.
…
Excellent restaurant, in the lobby.
Duan Que had a smile on his face and said loudly: "Huang Hu, you are actually a member of the Zhennan King. It's really inconspicuous. I thought you were from our place. You are awesome. You are really awesome."
Huang Hu smiled naively and said: "No matter what the shopkeeper said, if you are willing, you can also be loyal to the prince."
Duan Que shook his head and said: "I am a businessman, so I am not suitable."
Next to him, Zheng Meng was moved. He took Huang Hu's arm and said, "Huzi, your boy served for King Zhennan. Please introduce him to me. I heard about the heroic deeds of King Zhennan. He was a great hero." , who can defeat the United States, the Russians, the British and other foreigners, if you serve him, your life will be in vain."
Huang Hu smiled and said, "Of course."
After a pause, Zheng Meng asked again: "Huzi, what's going on when Li Zhen is going to give a speech tomorrow?"
When he spoke like this, everyone in the lobby looked at Huang Hu. Li Zhen was going to give a public speech. This was a huge event, especially since Li Zhen was so famous. Countless people wanted to see Li Zhen. , now knowing that Huang Hu is an insider, he is even more excited and eager to know the details tomorrow.
Huang Hu smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious? You will know when the prince tells you tomorrow."
