Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

In the end, he could only hold back his anger and send a telegram.

A telegram was sent to the whole country, appointing Zhang Yi as the general of Fujian.

When warlords from all over the country saw this telegram, they had different thoughts in their minds.

Many people saw Yuan Shikai’s helplessness.

It can be said that in the battle of Fujian, Shen Hao completely disrespected Yuan Shikai.

Zhang Zuolin, who was far away in Fengtian, felt envious and jealous when he saw the telegram that Zhang Yi had become the general of Fujian.

Although he now has a strong army with the support of Shen Hao.

But he is still a teacher in name only.

So, the general who drove away Fengtian and was also his godfather Zhang Xiulan, submitted a petition to Yuan Shikai, expressing his desire to become the general of Fengtian.

This made Yuan Shikai even more angry. Damn it, Shen Hao didn't give me face, and I endured it. But you, Zhang Zuolin, dared to do so. You even want to be the Fengtian General? You're dreaming.

You deserve it.

Yuan Shikai also knew that Zhang Xiulan could no longer gain a foothold in Fengtian, so he thought about it.

The positions of General Zhang Xiulan of Fengtian and General Duan Zhigui of Hubei were swapped.

Let Duan Zhigui go to Fengtian to serve as General Ding.

When Zhang Zuolin learned that Yuan Shikai sent Duan Zhigui to Fengtian to be a general, he was furious.

After finally driving away Zhang Xiulan, Duan Zhigui came.

Although Zhang Zuolin was not a direct descendant of Yuan Shikai, he just surrendered to Yuan Shikai.

But Yuan Shikai had a natural advantage as he was based in the capital.

Another point is that it was not only Zhang Zuolin who was eyeing the position of Fengtian General, but also his sworn brother Feng Delin.

Therefore, Zhang Zuolin did not dare to make any big moves. If Yuan Shikai made Feng Delin the Fengtian General, Zhang Zuolin would have a headache.

Compared with Feng Delin, Zhang Zuolin would rather let Zhang Xiulan and Duan Zhigui be the Fengtian General.

Neither of them had an army of his own.

Being a general posed little threat to Zhang Zuolin.

But Feng Deling had a division, and becoming a general would be a great threat to him.

However, with Feng Delin's intelligence, Zhang Zuolin did not take him seriously.

Besides, Zhang Zuolin is no longer fighting "097" alone, Shen Hao is standing behind him.

In desperation, Zhang Zuolin had to ask Shen Hao for help and ask him to think of a solution.

After reading Zhang Zuolin's telegram for help, Shen Hao also sent a telegram in reply, asking him not to be anxious, to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity.

Although Zhang Zuolin was not very satisfied with this answer, he had no choice but to accept it.

After all, his current backer is Shen Hao.

As long as Shen Hao does not fall, no one will dare to have any bad intentions towards Zhang Zuolin.

Soon, Shen Hao took over Fujian and his influence continued to spread.

Today, Shen Hao controls four provinces, namely Taiwan, East Guangdong, West Guangxi, and Fujian. Other warlords can only be jealous but have no way to stop him.

If these warlords knew that Shen Hao still controlled Sichuan, they would be very jealous.

It can be said that the three southernmost provinces have been completely taken over.

At the same time, Shen Hao prepared to recruit another 100,000 soldiers.

Not counting Wanwan’s troops, the number would have to reach 500,000.

Nowadays, the territory under control is getting larger and larger, and there are not enough manpower.

In addition, the Japanese cabinet was very angry because of the robbery of the Bank of Japan.

But they could only protest but did nothing.

Japan also knew that the army was useless against Shen Hao.

The Japanese Navy had about five fleets, and lost two of them at once. It can be said that its strength has been greatly reduced. Now it has fewer submarines than Shen Hao, and its battleships are about the same.

Therefore, the biggest idea of ​​the Japanese now is to wait for the super dreadnought battleship to be launched.

Cleaning up, cleaning up Shen Hao.

This time, Yuan Shikai took over Sichuan with the support of Japan. Unfortunately, no one expected that Shen Hao would react so quickly and directly take over Fujian.

This made Japan's eyes red with jealousy.

Unfortunately, even if we want to start a war, there is no guarantee of victory.

If they fail again this time, the Japanese Navy will be ruined.

After so many years, the wealth that Japan has accumulated with great difficulty is almost gone.

Another one learned that Shen Hao had purchased another super dreadnought battleship from the United States, which put them under a lot of pressure.

Therefore, we protested to the United States.

However, the American attitude is to respect the spirit of business.

There is no law prohibiting the sale.

The negotiations were fruitless, but the United States asked Japan to purchase an American super dreadnought battleship at the same price.

Spare (two) skirt 8 ⑼ ３ ⑼ land feed ④ slide 0

The Japanese cabinet also wants to buy it, but its financial resources do not allow it.

Our own shipyard has now built two super-dreadnought battleships, which require huge investment and have not yet been launched.

To buy a battleship, other government departments in the country will have to tighten their belts.

Moreover, the two defeats not only resulted in heavy losses, but also the dead Japanese soldiers required pensions, which was another huge amount of money.

At the same time, there were negotiations with Shen Hao to trade the 60,000 prisoners.

All of these cost money.

Time passed quickly, and by mid-July, Yuan Shikai's compromise allowed Zhang Yi, the Chongqing garrison commander, to become the general of Fujian.

It can be said that it is a big step forward.

However, Li Yunlong, who had made great contributions, did not receive any reward.

However, Shen Hao privately agreed that after taking over Jiangxi, the place would be under the jurisdiction of Li Yunlong.

According to common sense, Shen Hao had no intention of letting Zhang Yi be the general of Fujian.

However, since Yuan Shikai used Zhang Yi as a scapegoat, Shen Hao had to fight back. Only if Zhang Yi became the general of Fujian could he slap Yuan Shikai in the face.

Of course, Li Yunlong and others were summoned by Shen Hao. They were extremely loyal to Shen Hao and would not care about these things.

They would rather lead troops to fight, and as for the matter of guarding a province, they really don't have much interest in it.

However, just as Shen Hao was preparing to plan for Jiangxi, the Japanese side started the second round of negotiations.

Japan had two goals this time. One was to sign an armistice agreement, and the other was about the 60,000 prisoners.

On Shen Hao's side, the negotiating representative was still Zhao Gang.

This time, the Japanese Minister Hioki Masushi was not as arrogant as before.

But very polite.

"Mr. Zhao, we in Japan are negotiating with great sincerity this time. We are open to discussing any conditions you have.

We only hope that you will withdraw from Taiwan and return it to us."

Before Hioki Masu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Gang...

"If you Japanese still have this attitude, then don't talk anymore. It's just a waste of time," Zhao Gang snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Hioki Masu was afraid that things would get too awkward, so he said hastily, "Of course, you can raise any requests you have."

Zhao Gang said: "If you want to negotiate, first you must compensate us for our losses with 100 million dollars, and at the same time exchange Qingdao for 60,000 prisoners of war."

Hioki stood up immediately with anger.

He said angrily: "This is impossible, it's simply a fantasy."

Zhao Gang sneered: "Do you have any shame to say this?

When you signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, didn't you think it was too far-fetched?

I don’t ask for much, this is our bottom line, if you can’t accept it, then let’s not talk about it.”

Hioki Masu said: "Mr. Zhao, please respect basic diplomatic etiquette. I am representing Japan this time, and I am not kidding you.

I hope you can respect that.

Don't suggest the impossible.

Moreover, when your army commander Li Yunlong attacked Fujian, he killed many of our Japanese and robbed our banks.

These are all subject to compensation.”

Zhao Gang said expressionlessly: "How come I didn't know about this? It seems that the former Fujian Guard Li Houji robbed the bank and killed the Japanese.

What does it have to do with us?

"Mr. Zhao, we all have evidence.

As long as you give Wanwan back to us, everything will be fine."

"Mr. Hioki Masushi, if you keep this attitude, there will be no more room for negotiation. Let's see what happens.

Re-compare 1.2 at sea"

The corners of Hioki Masu's mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "It seems that you are not sincere anymore.

Do you really want to fight to the death? Do you really think that after winning two battles, our Great Japanese Empire will be afraid of you?

We still have three fleets, and we are fully capable of fighting again."

Zhao Gang said disdainfully: "Oh, really? Then keep fighting, we are not afraid either."

Hioki Masu didn't dare to agree, he took a deep breath, calmed down his anger and said: "I want to meet President Shen, I want to talk to him in person"

Zhao Gang said: "Don't even think about meeting the president. He doesn't have time. Our bottom line is, compensation of 100 million oceans, Qingdao in exchange for 60,000 prisoners, nothing else is negotiable."

Hioki Masu's face was gloomy and uncertain. If looks could kill, Zhao Gang would have died ten thousand times.

Hioki Masu said: "I don't know what President Shen is busy with. Is it more important than negotiating with Japan?"

Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Oh, I'm not busy with anything, I'm busy getting married."

455. Capture a few Japanese to let you practice shooting

Hearing this, Hioki Masu felt as if he had been greatly insulted.

It's despicable that he even found a woman instead of coming to negotiate with the Japanese representatives.

After taking a deep breath, Hioki Masu suddenly had an idea.

Yes, Shen Hao is lustful and he can target women.

Japan has nothing else but plenty of women. If they could find some beautiful spies and then persuade them to negotiate, wouldn't that be a lot of fun?

It really kills two birds with one stone.

The more I thought about Hioki Masu, the more I felt that I was a very smart person.

So, he stood up, patted his shoulder elegantly, looked at Zhao Gang calmly and said: "You will pay the price for your actions today.

We, the Great Japanese Empire, will definitely not give up."

Zhao Gang said disdainfully: "Then why don't you continue to fight? Don't you want to?"

Hioki Masu instantly lost his defense, pointed at Zhao Gang with trembling fingers, and his lips trembled: "You..."

I swallowed the three words "final draft" in my heart.

He snorted coldly, turned and left.
