Master Yuan, start!

Wang Shizhen looked around and said confidently:

"First, the garrisons in Heilongjiang's cities are few in number, and most of them are border guards. Their combat power is definitely not as strong as the Russians. After the Russians capture the city, they will definitely want to pursue their victory."

"Well, there's more."

"Secondly, the northeastern part of Jilin, near Russia, is a vast swamp covered with ice, making it impossible to cross in winter or summer.

In the southeast are dangerous mountains such as Taipingling and Laoyeling. If they want to attack from both sides, they will have to cross these mountains in the cold winter, which is too costly.

After hearing the second point, Yuan Xiangcheng suddenly remembered that he had been misled by the knowledge in his mind.

The map of Jilin in the original time and space is very different from the map of Jilin today.

The Jilin map in later generations is basically a rectangle, long from east to west and narrow from north to south.

Today, Jilin is more like a triangle, with one corner extending to the center of the Northeast Plain, one corner extending to the ocean in the east, and the other corner at the junction of the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River.

At that time, Jilin was composed of the undeveloped Sanjiang Plain swamp in the north and the towering mountains and steep cliffs bordering North Korea in the south.

No matter which path is taken, it will not be easy for the Russians.

However, even so, it does not mean that the Wehrmacht has the absolute initiative.

These mountains also pose a problem for the National Defense Forces stationed in North Korea.

Never mind, just listen to him continue.

Yuan Xiangcheng first warned himself not to fall into inertial thinking easily, then smiled and said to Wang Shizhen: "Good, go on!"

"The third point is the National Defense Force." Wang Shizhen continued to talk:

“Although there is only one town of National Defense Forces stationed on the Tumen River, it is very convenient for them to move north, and it is only more than 200 miles away from Vladivostok.

If the Russians in Vladivostok dare to invade westward and join forces with the Russian troops heading south from Heilongjiang, they will have to worry about the risk of losing Vladivostok!"

"Well, what do you think we should do?"

Yuan Xiangcheng took a sip of hot tea, smacked his lips and said, "What you said is certainly the shortcomings of the Russian army, but on the other hand, it is also our difficulty.

It is not easy for the Russians to cross Laoyeling and Taipingling, which means it is not easy for us to cross these places and start from North Korea to support Heilongjiang.

Moreover, once North Korea has exhausted all its troops and its national defense is weakened, who knows if the Russians won't take advantage of the situation, move south to the Tumen River, and use the method you just mentioned to deal with us?"

Yes, it is difficult for the Russians to come over, which means it is also difficult for us to go over and provide support.

As soon as Yuan Xiangcheng said this, the staff officers who were originally impressed by Wang Shizhen and felt that the Russian army was full of difficulties suddenly came to their senses.

Unless they act like cowards and allow the Russian army to wreak havoc in Heilongjiang, the National Defense Army will face the same problem as the Russian army.

"Chief Instructor, there are naturally pros and cons to every word." Wang Shizhen seemed to know that his words had loopholes, and he did not feel embarrassed at all even though he was refuted.

"I remember the chief instructor often said that war is the continuation of politics.

Now the Prince Yi D of the capital has put the chief instructor on the spot and is using the Russians to clean up the National Defense Army.

In my opinion, whether we go to the capital or go south to continue dealing with Li Hongzhang, the Northeast will be under the iron hoof of the Russian army in the future.

The essence of foreign affairs outside the Great Wall lies here. How can the chief instructor just abandon it?

Therefore, these two conditions are just a pretext, the purpose of which is to keep the chief instructor away from the Northeast."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiangcheng picked up the teacup again, brought it to his lips, drank it all, and said quietly, "I see, you seem to be encouraging me to start an army and establish my own country."

"Chief Instructor!"

Wang Shizhen suddenly raised his voice, frightening everyone around him so much that they almost lost their seats. He said in a deep voice:

"From the moment I joined the Red Confucian Society, I kept in mind the four characters 'Restore China'.

How can China be restored? In my opinion, only by driving out the Tartars in the capital can it be considered restored!

When Xu Shichang, who was standing by, heard this, his eyes were filled with solemnity.

He had discussed the issue of anti-Manchu independence with Yuan Xiangcheng a long time ago, and had discussed it many times in the five-member decision-making committee, but Yuan Xiangcheng always said that the time was not yet ripe.

He said, "The best opportunity is to completely destroy the Qing court in the hearts of the people."

I wonder if Prince Yi D can be considered dead now that he is leading the Russian army south and slaughtering civilians?

9667-1.25 Looking for a book?

"Chief Instructor, don't hesitate any longer!"

Wang Shizhen took a deep breath and looked at everyone in the room.

Suddenly, he took off his thick military cap, revealing a head of thick black hair.

So much hair, when did he...? 6+3[四42

Yuan Xiangcheng's eyes narrowed, and he realized that Wang Shizhen had grown such long hair without him noticing.

After the Curtain Rebellion, considering the attitude of the court at that time, Yuan Shikai did not encourage the practice of cutting off the queue.

However, since Yuan Shikai always showed himself as a bald man, many people in the army followed his example, cutting off their ugly and troublesome braids and becoming bald.

Wang Shizhen is also one of them.

But no one expected that Wang Shizhen not only broke off her braids, but also secretly grew so much hair.

Yuan Xiangcheng looked closely and saw Wang Shizhen moving his hands on his head, up and down, left and right. After a few minutes, a fist-sized cone-shaped "bun" was formed on the top of his head.

Then, he took out a wooden hairpin from his bosom and firmly inserted it into the bun he had just done.

"Chief Instructor, this is the proper attire of the Han people. It's not the bald head you have, nor the rat tails on the backs of the common people's heads."

"Tie your hair into a bun, and put on a crown!"

Wang Shizhen and Yuan Xiangcheng looked at each other and said firmly: "This is what we Han people have!"

Mingye was the first to kneel down on one knee, echoing Wang Shizhen:

"Chief Instructor, the Manchus are inviting a wolf into their home and courting their own destruction. If we Han people don't rebel now, when will we?"

Ming Ye was born in Korea, but his ancestor was Ming Yuzhen, the emperor of the Sichuan Daxia Kingdom who competed with Zhu Yuanzhang for supremacy in the late Yuan Dynasty.

Even after the Great Xia Kingdom was destroyed, the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom came out of the city to surrender and was named Marquis of Guiyi by Zhu Yuanzhang and granted the fiefdom of Goryeo, where he stayed for more than 600 years.

But Mingye believes that his ancestors have always been Chinese, and his heart has always been Chinese.

And he is, without a doubt, a pure Han Chinese.

Ming Ye's words were like a stone, stirring up the emotions of everyone present, and they all pulled off their military caps.

Those who had braids shaved them off, and those who didn't had braids to tear off a piece of their underwear, fold it into a square scarf, and wear it on their heads.

The square scarf is one of the traditional headwear of the Han nationality.

Moreover, it was invented by Zhu Yuanzhang, the man who drove out the Tartars and restored China.

If Wang Shizhen only surprised Yuan Xiangcheng a little, it was when he saw Ming Ye and a group of members of the Red Confucian Society throwing away their hats to express their support for him.

Yuan Xiangcheng realized that opportunities cannot be found by waiting.

Opportunities are always created!

Respect Confucianism and ancestors, restore China, put the people first, and achieve world peace.

If you want to achieve such a goal, you cannot expect the right time, place, and people to all be on your side.

Only by allowing these comrades who have followed him in his battles to participate can we build a truly new China.

"Okay!" Yuan Xiangcheng nodded heavily.

He kept a low profile and used the blood of the Qing court to nourish his own body, but as his subordinates' power grew, he became more and more conspicuous.

Now, the time has come to show our cards.

"Telegram to Duan Qirui, ordering him to lead his troops north from the Huai River!"

"Telegram to Duan Zhigui, ordering him to march south from Shanhaiguan!"

"Send a telegram to Jin Weidong, ordering him to cross the Tumen River, destroy the Russian defenses on the other side of the river, and draw out Russian forces!"

"Telegram ordering the Beiyang Fleet to the artillery batteries at Lushun and Weihaiwei to be on high alert!"

"Telegraph to the British Minister to Korea, Sir Claude MacDonald, agreeing to their recruitment of Chinese soldiers in the country and requesting the dispatch of a fleet to patrol near Korea to protect the ports."

Yuan Shikai heaved a long sigh, made arrangements in all aspects, and issued five orders at once, deciding to completely break with the Qing court!

Twenty thousand troops, attacking the Forbidden City from the south and the north, was a great honor for the Qing court.

As for the current defense forces near the capital, a maximum of 5000 national defense troops can take the capital with almost no casualties.

"Chief Instructor, what about the Russian troops in Heilongjiang? How should we deal with them?"

Someone in the crowd asked.

"Transfer Sheng Fei, Feng Guozhang, Wang Zhanyuan, Cao Kun, and others from Jiangnan to Lushun and have them take the train north!"

Yuan Xiang Ercheng suddenly slapped the map on the ground, and the railway line that had been built to Changchun Si Hall said: Liu￥si

“Western, we’ll confront the Russians directly from the west!

The Heilongjiang railway line hasn't been completed yet, and it's freezing cold. The Russian army won't be able to move south very quickly. The Wehrmacht can still make it by taking the railway north!"

After several battles, Xu Shichang was no longer afraid of foreigners, but at this moment, he was worried about being attacked from both sides.

Thinking of the scene after the National Defense Army was withdrawn from Jiangnan, he hurriedly said anxiously:

"What about Jiangnan? Are you going to leave Jiangnan alone? How can you defend the entire Jiangnan region with only Wu Changchun and Wu Fengling as your troops?

If Li Hongzhang's Lingnan New Army marches north, how should we respond?

After Xu Shichang said this, Yuan Xiangcheng pretended not to hear and continued talking about the Korean defense plan.

Novel Jiaoliu1 skirt: 8607

“Remember, the National Defense Forces stationed in Korea to the east are used to tie down the Russians.

The main force of the National Defense Army will march north from Fengtian in the west to wipe out the invading enemy with dignity! "

After explaining the defense measures for the Korean region, Yuan Xiangcheng turned around and looked at Xu Shichang, saying:

"Juren, the Russians are invading China now, and the reason I'm moving troops north is mostly to fight against the Russians.

As a Chinese, Li Hongzhang would never dare to risk the world's condemnation and take the opportunity to go to war with me.
