Chapter 513: He Changying Begins to Fall Two
In this time and space, because of the emergence of He Changying and the anti-Japanese army, the original historical trend was changed.
As a result, the Japanese Second Army, in Jinzhou and Dalian Bay, not only suffered heavy losses, but also more than 20,000 troops were stopped in the vicinity of Dalian Bay, confronting the 30,000 Qing troops in Lushun.
You can't go in or out!
Before the situation in Lushun was unknown, the Japanese army had already invested four divisions in Liaodong and Korea, and only two field divisions and one guards division remained in the country.
The Hiroshima base camp did not dare to open up a third battlefield at all, otherwise once the First Army or the Second Army needed reinforcements, the Japanese army would have a terrifying situation in which there were no troops to adjust.
Therefore, the desperate Japanese military government had no choice but to make a desperate default to the strategy of attacking Liaoyang and Mukden in Shanxian Youpeng, and then going south to Shanhaiguan to carry out the strategy of a decisive battle in Zhili.
and sent another infantry brigade, plus the 1st Heavy Artillery Wing, which was originally preparing to attack the Arthur Battery, to reinforce the 1st Army of Youpeng in Shanxian County.
At this time, although Guangxu's heart was very uncomfortable, but in the base camp of Hiroshima, three thousand miles away, Meiji and Ito Hirobumi couldn't sleep at night, sighing for a long time.
I just ask for the blessing of the god of sunshine, those foreign fathers and foreign uncles can understand reason, and do not interfere with the empire's big gamble.
Let the flag of Hinomaru be able to hunt and fly on the top of Asia!
Now that he has figured out these things, what He Changying needs to do next is to lay out in advance and correspond to the landing.
The first step is to first strengthen the defense line of the three cities outside the gate and stock up on enough food and ammunition.
The Three Cities now have 1,650,000 rounds of rifle ammunition, 40,000 rounds of Grimm Gun machine gun bullets, 630 rounds of solid ammunition, as well as 30 boxes of black artillery and a large number of lead shots.
However, this bullet is obviously far from enough for the 8,300 troops of the three cities outside the gate if they want to defend it for a long time.
Therefore, the three 'tomb robber masters' of the North Wing City, after digging the tunnel perfectly, followed Xiong Kaiyu back to the Dagu Military Station.
There, they will complete their unfinished business as soon as possible and dig up Luo Rongguang's 'North Warehouse' arsenal.
Luo Rongguang's northern warehouse stores a large amount of munitions.
In 1816, the Qing government began to build the Dagu Fort at the mouth of the Haihe River, and by 1841, it had formed 5 large forts in the south and north, 12 earthen forts, and 13 earthen forts.
In 1851, the minister of the Qin Mission, Seng Greenqin, guarded the Dagu Pass, renovated the forts, and focused on the reinforcement of the five forts, naming them "Wei", "Zhen", "Hai", "Gate" and "Gao".
In 1876, Luo Rongguang was stationed in Tianjin, promoted to the deputy general of the Dagu Association, and began to operate the Dagu Fort.
So far, it has formed 5 large forts, 25 small forts, more than 100 artillery pieces, 3,000 garrison troops, and a complete military defense system of ironclad clippers, bumper ships, and mine ships.
Since 1860, there has been no war in Dagu Fort for 34 years, and the accumulation of years has caused ammunition to accumulate in the arsenal, and the accounts in the arsenal are basically a mess.
Of course, this is no problem, Zhili Chengping has been in peace for 34 years, and no one and force will worry about these ammunition.
As a result, now He Changying is worried about it.
The munitions were solved, and the three cities outside the customs were densely covered with large and small wells, and drinking water was not a problem.
It's just that the three cities only stored about 200,000 catties of grain, which is about a month's ration for 8,000 soldiers, which is obviously not enough.
Fortunately, He Changying had the donated silver of patriotic overseas Chinese in his hands, so one of the orders he gave Xiong Kaiyu was to immediately buy a large amount of grain, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, radish, cabbage, vermicelli, dried vegetables, salt, peppers, high-quality coal, cotton clothes, cotton shoes, quilts, ——。
Transported into the three cities outside the customs.
The second order is to ask Xiong Kaiyu to hand over the photos of John washed out in Lushun to Bill, Audrey, please go to the Western Concession of Zizhulin, and let all Westerners know the brutality of the Japanese army.
These photos were handed over by He Changying to the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili, but the officials of the Qing Dynasty thought more differently and could not be treated with common sense.
They may think that this is a family ugliness that cannot be publicized, and it is a manifestation of the lack of ability of the Qing Dynasty, so they directly burned these photos.
And he also sent Goshha to tell He Changying, these photos must be destroyed, and don't let foreigners see them, laughing at my incompetence in the Qing Dynasty, unable to protect the comfort of Li Min, and making foreigners look down on 'my Daqing'.
For the strange idea of the smoker, it simply made He Changying feel unreasonable, and he really wanted to open his skull and see what else could be in it besides the paste?
Could it be that he has a leprosy scar on his head, and he doesn't want to be treated, but wears a hat like Ah Q to deceive himself, and whoever wants to point it out will be in a hurry!
In the world one hundred and twenty years after He Changying, every time the bald eagle dropped a bomb in a country, it would not be long before it was a scene of innocent people suffering, playing the sad card and winning international condemnation.
But when this matter arrived in the Qing Dynasty, why did it all change its taste?
There were also some photographs, which were sent by ship to Marseille along with John's war notes, but the ship was floating at sea, and it was not three or two months before it could go ashore.
So He Changying, who was forced to be helpless, had no choice but to spread these photos through the hands of Bill and Audrey.
Even if the 'paste' in the Qing Dynasty is unhappy, He Changying can excuse himself and say that this is the self-made initiative of war photographer John, and he has no idea.
There is no doubt that the economic interests of Western countries in Jinmen are far greater than Yantai, the harbor fish runs through the Western merchant ships, the purple bamboo forest lives hundreds of foreigners, and there are a large number of embassies, foreign companies, and foreign markets.
I think that Western countries will think deeply about this matter.
And Yanjing is the capital of the Qing Dynasty, if the Western countries want to maintain the stability of a huge market with a population of two or three hundred million, they have to think about what will happen to the Qing Dynasty once Yanjing falls?
This is also clearly not in the interests of Western countries.
He Changying can't see the future road and future changes clearly, but he can vaguely find some general context, but this is enough for He Changying to play chess.
His third son fell in Andong County.
This drop is much more complex than the previous ones, and it is a series of combination linkages.
First of all, the Western special ships of the anti-Japanese army that have entered the Yellow Sea of China will be suspended in Qingdao.
The anti-Japanese army will rent this Western merchant ship at a high price, and all the Western sailors on board will disembark in Qingdao to eat and drink.
And some of the highly conscious crew members of the Beiyang Bureau who escaped in the waters of Yingchengzi, when the Lushun troops fled to Penglai under the instigation of Wei Rugui, they also quietly took a fast boat all the way south and drifted to Qingdao to wait.
This time, together with the operation team of the Second Intelligence Division, they will drive the merchant ship directly to the dock in Andong County.
For the safety of this precious merchant ship, at a predetermined time, Shen Chuan, the 'ace spy' of the East, will send a telegram to the intelligence agency of the Japanese army in Surabaya.
It is said that under the strict orders of the imperial court, the Weihaiwei Beiyang Naval Division of the Great Qing Dynasty will set sail in a few days, forcibly break through the Bohai Bay blockade line of the Japanese Combined Fleet, return to Dagu seaport, and assist in the defense of Jinmen and its Shanhaiguan line.
Through this false information, all the warships of the Japanese army were transferred to the mouth of Bohai and assembled outside the port of Weihaiwei.
Then, Ho Changying planned the itinerary of the military merchant ship, and would order the Lushun army to carry out a large-scale counterattack.
And through this counterattack, it is necessary to try to quietly transport the strength of at least one regiment out unknowingly.
Then go straight to Andong County.
