Red Alert 1895: Chapter 609 Send troops to the northeast

"Master Wang, what do you want us to do?" Hu Wei asked. ∈♀,

Wang Guorui sent a telegram and then ordered Hu Wei and several important military officers to return to Prince Qing's Mansion, the headquarters in the capital, for a meeting. At present, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces are confronting the front troops, and the Eight-Nation Allied Forces cannot break through the defense line formed by these armies, and the Taiwan Army has no idea of ​​​​clearing these Eight-Nation Allied Forces. However, at this time, Wang Guorui called them the frontline commanders, what exactly did he have to explain? However, what Wang Guorui said next completely surprised them.

"General Shengjing Qingsheng, the agent of the Northeast Three Generals in the Northeast, and Heilongjiang General Shoushan sent a secret telegram, hoping that we can take the initiative to send troops to support them, and then let them fight the Russians. The Russians have begun to invade. , They are under a lot of pressure in the Northeast. The three generals in the Northeast only have a regular army of less than 30,000, and they are also the Eight Banners soldiers who are decaying day by day. Even if everyone is mobilized as much as possible, it is only about 50,000. There is not much advanced equipment. So they ask us for help, hoping that we can send troops to help them resist the Russians!" Wang Guorui said.

When everyone heard the news, they immediately took the initiative to congratulate and said: "Master Wang, congratulations, this time the three generals of the Northeast have completely compromised. They did this because they chose to acquiesce, Mr. Wang, and you took over the court. And, next, they are all You chose to surrender to Mr. Wang. By doing this, they are actually expressing their intention to surrender to Mr. Wang, and the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty will belong to us from now on. So we can be regarded as peaceful. Next We are tantamount to completely occupying the provinces in the Northeast."

However, someone obviously heard something else: "Master Wang, just now you said that General Shengjing Qingsheng, the agent of Northeast China, and General Shoushan of Heilongjiang sent a telegram asking for help. Then what does General Jilin Chongshan mean?"

Wang Guorui explained: "They also told me the news. Chongshan hopes to make a deal with the Russians at the expense of Northeast China and Mongolia, so that the Russians will take the initiative to attack us!"

"Bastard, they are going to be sinners!" Hu Wei immediately said angrily.

How could he do such a thing. It's like being a sinner through the ages. Regardless of whether it is successful or not, the end of this Chongshan must not be good.

"That's right! The two generals Qingsheng and Shoushan didn't want to be dragged into the water with Chongshan and become sinners through the ages together, so they chose to cooperate with us, and then they were willing to hope that we would send troops to support them. And our rule, they also It means acquiescing. Now what we have to consider is how many troops we can deploy to fight, how many troops we can deploy to fight, and send troops to Russia without affecting our battle situation in Tianjin." Wang Guorui said.

And Hu Wei immediately patted his chest and promised: "If you want to talk about the Eight-Nation Allied Forces in Tianjin, this is not a big problem. The Eight-Nation Allied Forces in Tianjin. It is just to save Mr. Wang the means and excuses to clean up various forces in Beijing. If We really want to destroy them, and we can drive them away. Although it is impossible to wipe them out completely, because the navy behind them can transport them away at any time. But we can completely drive them out of the country, and this is not a big problem. If It wasn't to cooperate with Mr. Wang's actions in the capital, we would have cleared these guys out long ago."

Hu Wei then pointed to the map and said: "Compared to this, the Northeast is extremely important. According to Mr. Wang, the Northeast not only has vast land, but also black land, which can completely become our big granary. And It is rich in various resources. All kinds of ore resources are very good, and it can be used as a place to develop an industrial base. So if we can develop this industrial base, the development potential is much better than that of our Taiwan. Our Taiwan It does not produce too many resources, especially mineral resources. Taiwan’s mineral resources, that is, coal reserves are relatively high, but other resource reserves are not high. A large part of it has to be transported from Nanyang, which is definitely not good for us. So we hope that if we can occupy the Northeast, develop it locally and become an industrial system, then we can have enough support in the future. Then the industry in the Northeast can drive our generation in the pass and make our future capital There is enough support."

"And, if there is industry in the Northeast, then we can use this huge industrial base to deter Russia's Siberia. However, the strength of Russia's Siberia is not strong. If we can keep the Northeast, it will be tantamount to We can threaten them in the vast area of ​​Siberia at any time. In the south, we can put pressure on North Korea, so that the Japanese cannot sleep well at any time. Moreover, Lushunkou is an ice-free port, which can be used as a base for our important navy It is very difficult for us to find such a naval base, and with this naval base, we can watch and help each other with the naval base in Yantai and the naval base in Tianjin. If the enemy wants to attack from the sea, then we can attack from three directions Let's dispatch the navy together to stop or even annihilate them."

"In the past, the national strength of the Manchu and Qing courts was not strong, and the navy was not strong, so they were always in a situation where there was no defense in the sea. The Bohai Sea has become the back garden of Japan and Russia. Well, if we only have bases in Shandong and Tianjin, this is not enough Let us be stable. More importantly, we must have this base in Lushun, otherwise our defense must have loopholes."

"So, whether it's from protecting the national territory or from protecting our important places in the capital, it is an inevitable trend to send troops to the Northeast!"

Wang Guorui thought about it carefully, and then said: "Let Chen Liyan's Northern Expedition Army temporarily organize the first army and prepare to go! Chen Liyan dispatches the temporary first army, and then everyone prepares to form the Shenyang Military Region, and Chen Liyan will be the commander. Shenyang Military Region It is the establishment of a large military region, which has the same status as the group army. In the future, the Shenyang Military Region will form several armies, and three provincial military regions, namely Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Liaodong Province. Change the name of Shengjing to Shenyang, and then Divide the area under General Shengjing into Liaodong Province, and restore the name of the Liaodong Capital Commander in the Ming Dynasty."

"Also, if the original Shoushan is willing to continue to serve in the army, he can temporarily serve as the commander of the Heilongjiang Military Region, and he can be awarded the rank of major general. Of course, this is only for the result of keeping the situation under control. If the Russians are driven away, he can be given discretion. It’s good to retire and transfer to the government department, or transfer to some logistics or staff positions in the central military department.”

"As for Qingsheng, he is a civil servant. This time he can take the initiative to understand the general situation, so I can't say no. In order to express my trust in him, he can recommend an experienced general to serve as the commander of the Liaodong Military Region. Grant the rank of major general, and then follow Shoushan's method."

"As for that Jilin Chongshan, let Chen Liyan decide what to do."

Wang Guorui arranged some results for this person from Liaodong, that is, those who take refuge can get official positions and have a good death. But that Chongshan belonged to the royal family, and he wanted to sell Northeast China and Mongolia in exchange for benefits, so Wang Guorui absolutely couldn't tolerate it. So Wang Guorui let Chen Liyan decide for himself, which meant that there was probably no good end. Next, Wang Guorui didn't care whether this guy was dead or alive.

"And, I ordered Chen Liyan to be awarded the rank of lieutenant general. Let him first take a unit under his army to go there, and then I will continue to expand the army, and then let them all be sent to the Northeast Military Region, and then set up several new ones. Infantry."

Hearing that the Shenyang Military Region was established, and that Chen Liyan was appointed as the commander of the Shenyang Military Region, and his rank was promoted to Lieutenant General, this let everyone know that a new round of promotions had begun. Although Taiwan currently has an army of 200,000, they still defend quite a few areas. First of all, hundreds of thousands of Russian troops are pressing down on the border. This is a huge pressure~www.mtlnovel.com~ And then the domestic territory will continue to expand, which is also a place that requires a huge force. If you don't continue to expand your army, how can you defend such a large country, or even expand your territory?

The establishment of the Shenyang Military Region this time means that the establishment of a large military region or group army has begun. Now that the army has been expanded, all departments in the army will also be automatically upgraded. First of all, the two major departments of the staff and politics will definitely be automatically upgraded, and they will be promoted to the level of a large military region or even higher. Those other departments can at least be promoted by half a level, at least to the level of the deputy military region. This time Chen Liyan was promoted to the military rank, which meant that a new wave of promotion had begun. If nothing else happens, Hu Wei, the chief of the general staff, and Zheng Hong, the director of the General Political Department, can be promoted to generals, and a large part of the other generals can be promoted to lieutenant generals. There must be his name among the second batch of lieutenant generals, because they have enough seniority after a few years.

"Immediately order Chen Liyan's troops to send troops to the Northeast, and we issue an order to continue to expand the army!" Wang Guorui said.

"Yes! I will immediately order the political department to start preparing for the expansion of the recruitment of soldiers. However, this time we are expanding our army, will we expand our army from Taiwan or recruit from Zhili and Shandong on the spot?" Zheng Hong asked. (To be continued.)
