Alchemy Greater China

Since the beheading of more than [-] people from the two divisions of the Japanese Second Army outside Lushun City, the "Operation Weeding" has spread across the Korean Peninsula at a speed like fire.

In just seven days, 23 Japanese garrisons were attacked by the Nightmare Cavalry. The Japanese army suffered more than 3 casualties and suffered countless losses.

This loss is simply more than the total losses of the Japanese army from the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War to the armistice. To put it bluntly, a single weeding operation destroyed Japan's military deployment in North Korea!

During the seven-day weeding operation, the three war reporters collected a large amount of news materials, so much that they had to change the plan of sending them every five days to every three days.

Thanks also to the power of Chilongxu, on the fourth day after the start of the weeding operation, the heroic appearance of the Nightmare Cavalry and the embarrassing defeat of the Japanese Army turned into photos and words, which appeared in Shanghai newspapers thousands of miles away.

When it comes to the level of well-informed information, it is even faster than the speed at which the Korean War was transmitted back to Tokyo!

It is conceivable that as soon as the newspapers about the weeding operation came out, they were sold out, and a large number of businessmen even bought up the reprinted newspapers of the day and shipped them to Liangjiang and Huguang for sale!

From the free distribution of newspapers that opposed the "Weihai Treaty" before, these merchants took a fancy to the influence of "Shenzhen", and their decisive investment also made "Shenzhen" just let go and hand over the work of disseminating the newspaper to They go and finish.

"Shenbao" has the financial support of Long Hao, and if it wants to spread the newspaper, it can actually be done by itself. However, according to Long Hao's instructions, this kind of thing would rather lose money, and leave it to those compatriots who awakened first .

Only when the people of the country realize China's current situation one by one and want to take action to change it, can the rise of the Chinese nation really have hope.

otherwise.Even if ten Long Hao died from exhaustion, the Huaxia nation would still be like a polio patient, unable to really stand up.

Therefore, "Shenbao" has an incentive policy for these "speculative" merchants, not only setting the ex-factory price of the newspaper very low, but also lending them delivery channels.

Thus.It is guaranteed that as long as [-]% of the newspapers they spread are sold, they will not lose money.

But in fact, it was more than [-]%. Every time these reprinted newspapers were shipped to a city, they were sold out.

Think about it, everyone, the Japanese who had just beaten the imperial court into disgrace were actually swept away by a civilian cavalry team suspected of being a horse bandit.

After warming up of public opinion against the "Weihai Treaty".The people's hatred of Japan and their disappointment with the corruption and incompetence of the imperial court have reached a critical point.

With a little teasing, it will explode.

Not long ago, the victory of the Nanyang Navy gave them hope.

This time, I suddenly heard that the Japanese shamelessly unilaterally attacked Lushun City, and almost turned Lushun into a ghost town.Where is he not filled with righteous indignation?The sound of cursing and cursing resounded all over the country.

Come.Let us walk into the masses and listen to the real voices of these newspaper readers!

"What? The city of Lushun was almost captured by the Japanese? I heard from their generals that if they captured Lushun, they would massacre the city for three days. These Japanese devils are so insane, they are all beasts!"

"Is the imperial army all eating dry food? North Korea is lost. Anyway, it is not our territory, so we can bear it. The Taiwan Islands and the Penghu Islands are cut off. Anyway, in fact, they are all Japanese. It has been several years. We I can bear it too... But Lushun, that is Lushun Port, it is almost lost, then the entire Liaodong Peninsula, and the Great Northeast, will not be thrown to the Japanese devils?"

"The imperial court is incompetent! The cession of land and indemnity is a top skill, but attacking foreign enemies is a top coward! If it weren't for this cavalry team, the shame on our Chinese faces would be even greater!"

"What is the origin of this cavalry team? I heard they are horse bandits from outside the pass?"

"So what about horse bandits? Didn't you read this newspaper? There are photos on it, ahem, do you know what a photo is? Just put your head in a machine, and you can draw a picture with your ugly face right away The same painting! They are called the Wilderness Nightmare Group, and after saving Lushun, they didn't stop for a moment, and then went straight to North Korea!"

"Where did you buy the newspaper? Why haven't I read it? Come here, read it for me? Hey, are they really horse bandits? Why are they stronger than the soldiers and horses of the imperial court?"

"Hey, the imperial court, apart from those who eat empty wages and smoke opium, there are no one who can fight in the barracks!"

"So, how do these horse bandits with dreams compare with Beiyang? Which side will be stronger?"

"Nonsense, as long as the Beiyang Navy is in charge of Li Hongzhang one day, it will be no different from the Eight Banners army of the imperial court! It must be the cavalry team of the Nightmare Regiment!"

"Hey, this reminds me of the fact that the imperial court's Eight Banners army was useless when the bandits rebelled. In the end, we had to rely on our Hunan Army as the main force..."

"Oh, I figured it out. What kind of nightmare group is this? It is the great hero of our Chinese nation! If it weren't for them, we would have lost our land again! I support the nightmare group, do you know where I can sign up to join them? I We must also fight the Japanese devils!"

"Join the horse bandit?! Good idea, count me in. Without further ado, let's inquire now. Yes, go to "Shenbao" and ask. They have so many photos, they must know how to contact them. They are still on the Korean battlefield. The wilderness nightmare group fighting desperately!"

……

The impact of the Nightmare Knights squad is undoubtedly positive. In just a few days, there was an unstoppable whirlwind of the Nightmare Knights. All over the country (especially Jiangnan, of course), people gathered around the place where the newspaper was published. outside, inquire about news about this knight order that has brought glory to the country.

Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuhan, Nanchang, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen... all over the place!

This trend of nationwide discussion and action is undoubtedly what Long Hao would like to see the most. This trend can be regarded as breaking a previous view of Long Hao.

My Chinese people are not without blood, nor are they naturally insensitive. When you give them a good channel to receive information and a good channel to vent their emotions, the energy they burst out will still be eye-catching and shocking. !

This trend also blew to the north of the river and into Shandong, Zhili and other areas where the Qing Dynasty's regime was still relatively stable.

at this time.The officials of the Qing Dynasty couldn't sit still.

Especially led by Prince Gong and other ministers who have completed the peace talks and agreed with the peace talks.

Just after the land was ceded to pay compensation, the Japanese crossed the border and beat them. This is a naked face slap!

Also, it's fine to call, we are dignified and dignified, occupying the right time, place and people.Still can't beat it!It's fine if you can't beat them, but the problem is that a cavalry team that drilled out of that corner just happened to beat the Japanese, and even took advantage of the situation and ran to North Korea to stir up wind and rain.

Taking a step back, it’s fine if all the above happened, but why did these become the newspaper with rich pictures and texts, and quickly spread to the south of the Yangtze River.And passed from Jiangnan back to Jiangbei?

md, engaged in a surprise attack, making it too late for us to cover up!

Prince Gong and the others who had lost face were like tigers that had lost their blood, so their reaction was naturally extremely violent.

Starting from Zhili Province, no one is allowed to privately talk about the news about the Nightmare Knights, and the Qing officials quickly issued an announcement to announce it to the world.It is said that the Nightmare Knights were originally horse bandits outside the customs, killing people like hemp, and paying heavy debts.The victory of Lushun's defense battle was all the result of Lushun's admiral Huang Shilin's leadership and courageous killing of the enemy, and had nothing to do with the Nightmare Knights.

Prince Gong made a move to rectify the north of the river, but he still had no choice but to deal with the south of the river.

For example, the source of all this: Shenbao, whose headquarters is in Shanghai.But Prince Gong couldn't run to get someone, and he couldn't even order the magazine to be closed.

Because, since the Great War in the East China Sea, Shanghai seems to have been outside the court system, and this result.Since the last time Li Hongzhang took Beiyang to convict Liu Kun, it was doomed.Later, the Nanyang navy did not listen to the announcement, and the Nanyang navy bombarded the ports of Nagasaki without authorization... Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shanghai, as well as large provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, have been reduced by the imperial court. Very very low.

Therefore, based on this understanding, Prince Gong just sent an official document, asking Governor Liu Kunyi to rectify the "Declaration" and not to let nonsensical rumors continue to spread. Everything should be based on the ten thousand year foundation of the Qing Dynasty!

Unsurprisingly, the official documents fell like stones into the sea, and there was no reply at all.

In this regard, Prince Gong could only helplessly shrug his shoulders.

However, another seven days later, when Prince Gong was about to accept the result of being ignored by Liu Kunyi again, "Declaration" broke out another shocking news!

This explosive news is: The Nightmare Knights in North Korea declared to reporters that they are staunch royalists. If the old demon Empress Cixi insists on going her own way and continues to confine the emperor, then wait until the Nightmare Knights drive the Japanese out. After leaving North Korea, the next goal is the city of Beijing!

What an outrageous statement!

What a helpless horse bandit!

After Prince Gong read the urgently delivered "Shenbao" newspaper, his first reaction was not to be furious, but to be terrified and inwardly afraid!

When did these horse bandits learn to use the emperor as an excuse for rebellion?

I'm really afraid of something, it's really scary for a hooligan to be educated!

Wait... These horse bandits, could they be the foreign aid of Emperor Guangxu?

Now, taking advantage of the continuous foreign troubles and continuous war disasters in the Qing Dynasty, they deliberately jumped out to prepare for the uprising?

How vicious!

Prince Gong, who was dripping with cold sweat, clutched the newspaper tightly and shouted: "Get up, get up quickly, I want to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother!"

Not to mention what kind of 'earthquake' the Forbidden City will cause because of this newspaper, in the eyes of the outside world, this is definitely a coup.

The aftermath of Empress Dowager Cixi's confinement of Emperor Guangxu has not yet settled. This is a big flaw, and at this moment, this flaw is undoubtedly firmly grasped by the Nightmare Knights who are suspected of being a horse bandit!

All of a sudden, they changed from reckless heroes with flawed origins to hard-working royalist armed forces.

This moral status instantly became more positive.

If an international observer is allowed to look at the series of events that are taking place in China that shake the foundation of the imperial court, he will definitely feel a sense of déjà vu.

That's right, it is indeed deja vu: a king in England put the queen under house arrest, they are mother and son, and a queen mother in China put the emperor under house arrest, they are aunt and nephew.

Regarding the whole thing about Britain, Fremantle and Clay Hall announced their support for the restoration of the Queen;

In the latter case, the Knights of Nightmare appeared again, demanding that Emperor Guangxu regain power and overthrow the Empress Dowager Cixi;

And all of this seems to be controlled by a black hand behind the scenes, it's so weird...

hehe.Everyone should know who this black hand is. Right now, he is on an island covered with ice and snow, looking at a large iceberg hundreds of meters high in front of him with a smile.

"Sasha, what do you think of this place? Is it especially suitable for big occasions?" Long Hao smiled and turned around to ask Melissa who was wrapped in a big rice dumpling.

Princess Melissa wrapped in a warm winter coat.Still the same bright and charming, although the slender figure is invisible, it adds a little bit of loveliness. <, did you bring me here to see the iceberg?Do you know how busy I am right now.The price of gold is still rising, we have been covering positions, filling in the gaps, and the funds are running out! "

The more she talked, the more angry Melissa was wearing gloves, and pinched Long Hao's back hard.

It was no wonder that Melissa was so angry. Now, the golden bet between her and the two Johns was reaching a critical stage.

Some time ago.Although the price of gold plummeted because of Clay Hall's 'Peace Speech' video, I don't know what the two Johns did.He even invited King Edward VII of England to speak publicly, announcing to the whole world that Clayhall has treasoned and is an enemy of Britain, and called on the warship under Clayhall's name to get rid of the traitor's control as soon as possible. Return to the embrace of the motherland, all crimes.The king let bygones be bygones.

That is to say, the traitor will only be Clay Hall, and the rest have been verbally pardoned by Edward VII.

This trick can be said to be sharp, although Clay Hall has the title of a member of the royal family on his head.But after all, the appeal is not as good as that of Edward VII, which is the real royal orthodoxy.

Although it is said that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it is impossible for the warships of the two major fleets controlled by Clay Hall to "rebel" together, but as long as this word spreads to the two major fleets of Clay Hall, those captains who still hesitate The seeds of 'resistance' will be planted in the bottom of my heart.

In this way, the purpose of the two Johns and Edward VII is achieved!

Because, the heart is broken, and Clay Hall wants to reorganize the fleet, and it will definitely take a lot of effort!

This is indeed the case. After Edward VII made these remarks, the price of gold in the United States immediately rose, and after several shocks, it stayed at the 260 US dollar mark.

In this way, the tricks of the two Johns have not finished yet.

After that, Edward VII continued to declare that all ports in the Commonwealth of the world are not allowed to provide supplies to Clay Hall's fleet. Anyone who violates it will be guilty of the same crime as Clay Hall!

This time, it was tantamount to cutting off Clay Hall's way back from the Pacific Ocean, and trapped his huge combined fleet in the Pacific Ocean.

If you want to survive, you don't have to think about it, Clay Hall must start a war and 'loot the house'!

In this case, with the war, how could the price of gold not soar upwards?

Faced with the rising price of gold, Princess Melissa, as a real participant in the gambling game of the century, naturally has to respond and give countermeasures.

And the simplest countermeasure is to confront Edward VII's speech!

Aren't you going to block the Clayhall fleet?

Aren't you trying to cut off his supply lines?

Well, I will provide the port for Clayhall's fleet to dock, and I will provide sufficient supplies for Clayhall to resupply.

This way of coping is undoubtedly the right one, but no one thought that when Melissa wanted to implement it, she was told that Long Hao had already issued an order that all departments in the Alchemy Kingdom would not use any form against Clay. Hall came to the rescue.

That is to say, Melissa's move of "Yingzi" was rejected by Long Hao before she even played it.

In desperation, Melissa wanted to go to Long Hao to question him, and asked him that it would be fine if he didn't help, why did he hold back?

However, Long Hao never saw the end of the dragon, and he drove his sapphire dragon boat to some unknown place.

For 25 consecutive days, Melissa was unable to contact Long Hao, and these 25 days were the 25 days when the price of gold continued to regain lost ground.

When Melissa gritted her teeth and decided to ignore Long Hao's 'ban' and secretly prepare some supplies for Clay Hall, an astonishing news came from the western end of the Pacific Ocean.

Clay Hall's combined fleet docked at the port of Yokohama, and Emperor Meiji of Japan came out to greet him in person.

Japan and Clay Hall seemed to have formed an alliance at once. The Emperor of Japan publicly supported Queen Victoria and stated that all ports owned by Japan would be unconditionally open to Clay Hall's fleet, and Clay Hall The Japanese side will also try its best to cooperate in raising the necessary materials.

This astonishing news undoubtedly gave a strong boost to the rise in gold prices!

wait, wrong?

Some people may ask, in cooperation with Japan, didn't Clay Hall find a port and a source of supplies?

There should be signs of a halt to the war, why will the price of gold continue to rise?

Well, that's right, according to common sense, the price of gold has to fall, but it's no wonder that Clay Hall issued a statement in Tokyo on the third day after arriving in Yokohama: The "Queen's Restoration Alliance" was officially established, Japan as The first member country, next, the political and military forces in the Pan-Pacific region must make a choice. One is to join the "Restore Alliance" and make efforts for the Queen's re-enthronement, win-win and common prosperity, and the other is to destroy !

This statement was Major General Clay Hall's outrageous counterattack against Edward VII. (To be continued..)
