Lushun has now become the main base of the Russian Pacific Fleet and the seat of the Governor's Palace of Kanto Prefecture. Read the full version of The Strongest Sword Cultivator in the online game.
The so-called Guandong Prefecture refers to Lushun, Dalian and other places occupied by Russia before the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China. After the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, Russia delayed its withdrawal and merged other places in Northeast China into the Kanto Prefecture.
In the Governor's Palace of Lushun, the governor of Kwantung Province, commander of the garrison and commander of the Pacific Navy, Alekseev, sat in the first place, and the chief of staff in charge of intelligence, Wit Heft, sat in the second place.
"Your Excellency, in recent days, the Japanese have been very active in the Qing Dynasty. Should we pay more attention to it?" Witthoeft asked in a deep voice.
The relationship between Japan and Russia is now very tense. However, Alexeyev doesn't care much and said with a smile: "What tricks can the Japanese play? They are just a very small island country. Do they want a war? I throw it away.
This hat was able to overwhelm him in the latest chapter of the city."
"Your Excellency, now is not a good time to start a war. The Trans-Siberian Railway has not yet been fully opened to traffic. When this railway is fully opened to traffic, the connection between our Far East and Europe will become smoother. At that time, it will be a good time for us to start a war.
." Chief of Staff Withoeft carefully stated the biggest difficulty at present.
Although Alexeyev was arrogant, he was not too incompetent. He nodded and said: "You are right. Every day of delay will increase our strength, but are you sure that the Japanese
Do you really dare to fight with us, or are you just bluffing to gain bargaining chips?"
"Your Excellency, this is what we have to figure out. Unfortunately, it is too difficult for us to obtain information about the Japanese here." Withoeft sighed helplessly. This is the Northeast, and the Japanese can mix with the Chinese.
It searched for various intelligence, but the Russians did not have good countermeasures.
Alexeyev thought for a while and asked: "How is your plan to train Qing people to obtain intelligence going?"
"Please rest assured, we are already proceeding in an orderly manner and have achieved considerable results."
"Well. Increase investment in this area. Although we are not afraid of the Japanese, we must figure out their intentions as soon as possible."
The Liu Mansion is no longer as unpopular as it was yesterday. Liu Zhenming asked Zhao Bingjun to buy more than a dozen maids and servants who were all innocent.
In the living room, Liu Zhenming was furious, but the one who was reprimanded was Wu Peifu, the famous four-no general (who did not take concubines, did not accumulate money, did not stay abroad, and did not leave the concession).
At this time, Wu Peifu stood in front of Liu Zhenming, but he did not dare to express his anger.
"We must quit our opium addiction immediately!" Liu Zhenming did not expect that Wu Peifu, who was famous for his strict ban on smoking in later generations, would be puffing away smoke when he went to find him.
Wu Peifu didn't even understand what was going on, so he was forced to come to the Liu Mansion by Liu Zhenming. Now he is completely weak. He yawns constantly, with snot and tears flowing from his nose.
Seeing that he was still confused, Liu Zhenming couldn't help but secretly sigh. He really didn't expect that Wu Peifu at this time was just a person waiting to die.
There was no other way, so Liu Zhenming had no choice but to pick up the knife hanging on the wall. Then he pulled it out with a 'clang' sound.
This was more effective than any opium. Wu Peifu immediately woke up with a jolt. He was one of the people watching the battle at close range. Liu Zhenming's bloody methods against the Russian soldiers were something he would never forget for the rest of his life. He even had nightmares about perverted murders.
Everyone is crazy about Liu Zhenming.
"Master Liu, why are you here?" Wu Peifu immediately stood respectfully and asked with a curious look on his face.
Liu Zhenming resisted the blow of the knife and said in a cold voice: "First see where you are. This is my house. From today on, you will start to do things with me."
"Do things with Mr. Liu?"
"Yes, I have obtained Master Yuan's consent. I will lead a group of 16 young officers with outstanding abilities to cooperate with the Japanese on intelligence. And you are the one I personally selected. If you want to continue doing nothing like this,
I can remove your name, and it will only disgrace my people. What I am most afraid of is that you will lose your life in vain." Liu Zhenming looked at Wu Peifu with burning eyes and said seriously.
Wu Peifu has fully woken up. He knows that this is an opportunity for him to change his destiny. Wu Peifu also had high aspirations. His name was taken from Qi Jiguang's character "Peiyu". His first name was Peifu and his last name was Ziyu. When he saw his father
High hopes for him.
Unfortunately, in the general environment of the late Qing Dynasty, he could not resist the temptation and became a smoker. Because of smoking, he fled to the world and came to serve as a soldier. Because of smoking, he was penniless.
"You saved my life, Mr. Liu. From now on, I will let Ziyu follow Mr. Liu and serve him." Wu Peifu took a deep breath and made the final decision.
"Okay, since you are willing to follow me, I will not treat you badly, but I am a person who can't get rid of the dirt in my eyes. First, you have to quit opium." Seeing Wu Peifu looking at him seriously, Liu Zhenming smiled and said,
He continued: "Secondly, don't call me Mr. Liu. You can also call me Brother Liu. Well, you can also call me Shopkeeper Liu."
"Ziyu obeys!" Wu Peifu replied without any hesitation.
"Okay, now you go home and take a shower, and come here to find me tomorrow."
After Wu Peifu left, Liu Zhenming came to a relatively secluded house. Letto Vorbeck just arrived tonight. He also brought good news to Liu Zhenming. The Germans decided to secretly support Liu Zhenming's actions because
This action did not require the Germans to spend too much energy, but it could achieve better results, so little William was moved.
In this way, after obtaining Yuan Shikai's approval, Liu Zhenming began to think about establishing a small trading company. This company could influence the Qing government's call for farming in the country and recruit refugees to go to the three northeastern provinces to specialize in foreign agricultural trade.
At this time, the things that China could sell to the great powers were agricultural products, such as soybean oil. Soybean cakes could be sold to Japan, soybean oil could be sold to European and American countries, and wool and other products could be imported from New Zealand and other places.
It's so covert, I believe few people will be able to figure it out.
In this way, he can move among Yuan Shikai, the Germans, and the Japanese. With his identity among the three as a cover, is he still afraid that he will not be able to survive here?
However, Liu Zhenming didn't know that when he was plotting against the Japanese, the Japanese were also plotting against him.
Nobuzumi Aoki was not very satisfied with Liu Zhenming, and Ban Zhichao's report the night before made him even more hostile to Liu Zhenming. At this time, when he saw Yuan Shikai asking him to be in charge of Sino-Japanese intelligence cooperation, he couldn't help but want to get rid of him.
