Chapter 602: The Fall of the Qing Empire (V)

"This day is more tiring than fighting a war." Hou Dehui rubbed his stiff cheeks.

In the afternoon, there was a gunfire show to show their sincerity. The generals, led by Sun Shoubei, reached a tacit agreement and surrendered no matter what.

The generals surrendered, and the civil officials also surrendered reluctantly. However, because they hesitated for too long, Hou Dehui's facial muscles cramped after he kept a crooked smile for a long time.

"Your crime was not in vain. At least, Baoding Prefecture, an important town in Zhili, was captured without bloodshed. If the war continues, there will always be casualties." Li Yan said with a smile.

Next to Li Yan, Jia Feng, an agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, was drinking tea in silence, looking leisurely.

"The tea is spilled. Laugh if you want to laugh. Don't waste things." Hou Dehui gently moved his lower jaw. It was a little painful, but he could accept it. In a blink of an eye, he saw that the surrounding area of ​​Jia Feng's teacup was full of tea.

"Sorry, sorry, I lost my composure. I'm not like this usually." Jia Feng wiped his eyes and shook his head.

"Is the matter of Baoding stable?" Hou Dehui shook his head, suddenly feeling a little emotional.

"It's safe. These people are all smart people. They are either greedy for money and lustful or afraid of death. They control most of the forces in the city. If there is no accident, this matter is stable." Jia Feng nodded affirmatively.

"In addition to Baoding, you also need to send people to deal with the surrounding counties. There may be some problems." Jia Feng added.

Their infiltration of the surrounding counties is not very sufficient. It may be due to manpower? Or it may be due to geographical location?

"It's okay. As long as Baoding City is in hand, there will be no big chaos in other places." Hou Dehui said very confidently.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and Count Shuvalov asked to see you, saying that there was a major change in the Far East and needed your instructions." The attendant said respectfully to Nicholas II.

"Far East? Didn't the Prime Minister decide not to get involved in Far Eastern affairs in exchange for friendly relations with the new forces in the Far East? Did they say what it was specifically about?" Nicholas II asked subconsciously.

The attendant lowered his head and said nothing. He couldn't know these things.

Some time ago, something happened in the Balkan Peninsula. As the Prime Minister expected, the situation became out of control and eventually a war broke out.

Before the war broke out, representatives of the Balkan coalition arrived in St. Petersburg and sought support from Nicholas II. The Prime Minister spared no effort to support the Balkan coalition.

This was a good opportunity for Tsarist Russia to gain access to the Mediterranean Sea, because Britain did not intervene too much in this matter.

After explaining the reasons clearly, Nicholas II accepted the Prime Minister's advice, stopped Tsarist Russia's activities in the Far East, and took the initiative to send people to contact Sun Zaizhi, hoping to get along with Sun Zaizhi in a friendly manner.

All this was to maintain the stability of Tsarist Russia's Far East so that it could focus on the Balkans and make a breakthrough in Europe.

Nicholas II was very curious about what happened in the Far East that would bring the Prime Minister and the actual Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together.

"Please come in, Prime Minister. Nikki is back from the front. Let Count Shuvalov go see his son." Nicholas II thought about it and didn't let the two come in together.

Nikki Shuvalov, former emperor's attendant, major of the Guards, just came back from the border, the eldest son of Count Shuvalov, the first heir to the next Count Shuvalov.

"As you wish, Your Majesty." The attendant bowed slightly and left.

"Your Majesty, the new changes in the Far East are related to our layout in the Far East." The Prime Minister just walked in and couldn't wait to hand over the document bag.

Nicholas II opened the document bag and found a telegram in it, a thick telegram.

Inside was a request from Zaifeng, the former regent of the Qing Empire, forwarded by the Governor-General of Vladivostok of Tsarist Russia.

Requesting Tsarist Russia to provide support to the Qing Empire, help the Qing Empire establish a government in exile, and provide political asylum to the emperor of the Qing Empire, etc.

"Really? You can do it, but you can't use our name." Nicholas II looked at the document carefully.

"Yes, there are many bandits on the Mongolian Plateau. They wield long swords, ride horses, come and go without a trace. They are definitely not strong enough to face the army, but postmen, caravans, and herdsmen cannot resist bandits." The prime minister said with a smile.

Obviously, what the prime minister said had nothing to do with the telegram, but Nicholas II laughed.

"So, you asked Count Shuvalov to come."

"Vbaraka, go and see if our count and Nicky have finished their whispers. If they have, please ask him to come to me." Nicholas II shouted to the attendant.

The attendant responded and left.

"Your Majesty, this is an opportunity. With a little investment, it is possible to keep the Far East calm for three to five years, so that we can have enough time to solve the Balkan problem." The prime minister said with a smile.

"Yes, who would have thought that the Turks could withstand the attack of the Slavs, and the war became a war of attrition. The small countries in the Balkans can't afford it." Nicholas II also thought so.

Neither of them thought much of Zaifeng. They had previously wanted to use this as a trigger to contain the future Far East regime, but it was only a containment, not a war.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Qing Empire was no longer viable, and investing in the Qing Empire at this time would only be a waste of money.

Now there is a better choice - let the Qing Empire establish a government on the Mongolian Plateau, and then give a little support, using the vast and harsh environment to resist the attack of the new regime of the revolutionary army.

"Your Majesty, Count Schwarov begged."

"May you be healthy, Majesty." Earl Schwarov gave a noble gift.

"Schwarov, did the Prime Minister tell you?" Nicholas II asked without heads.

"Huh? Is it a matter of exile government? Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I don't think this is a good time."

"Our military forces in the Far East are not sufficient, and war in the Far East is not cost -effective."

"And we have no hatred with the new regime. In a short time, the new regime should have no energy to put our attention on us."

"Compared to us, Britain and Japan have a greater threat to them and more intuitive."

Earl Schwarov frowned, soothing his emotions and said.

In diplomacy, it is extremely offended to provide help to establish an exile government.

"No, not the exile government, but the residual regime?" Nicholas II thought for a long time before thinking about adjectives.

"More accurate, the rulers of the Qing Empire -ethnic minorities, gather some people who are also ethnic minorities, such as nomadic peoples living on the Mongolian plateau."

"Cavalry with extremely powerful mobility power, on the vast plateau, has a long -lasting confrontation with the new regime."

The Prime Minister was afraid that Earl Schumolov did not understand and added it deliberately.

"In other words, no one can catch the Cossack cavalry on the vast grassland." Earl Schwarov suddenly realized.

"Yes, but they can't appear on the Mongolian Plateau as Cossac." Nicholas nodded.

"Of course, they are just a group of bandits who have rushed against the crime and were hired by the Qing Empire."

"The Russian Empire fully respects the rights of the courts of the Qing Empire and the new regime, adheres to the principle of neutrality, does not participate in this matter, and cannot enforce the law cross -border."

"Similarly, the Russian Empire does not allow other countries to not be able to trial empire citizens without permission. Such behaviors will be considered provocative."

Schwarov has been in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more than ten years, and he has been aging and has no energy to deal with things.

In addition to a healthy body and a good mentality, political ability should not be too bad.

After all, the strong fighting intensity of the Russian Empire is not worse than the Qing Empire. If there is no ability, even if he has the throne of the count, it is difficult to stand firmly, let alone manage the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Very good, this matter is given to you to execute, the count, this is very important for us, it is related to the stability of the Empire Far East in the next few years." Nicholas II and Prime Minister looked at each other. Nod.

..............

On April 15th, the two divisions of the Revolutionary Army and a division of Zaiyu ran one by one for several days. The marching distance far exceeded the normal marching speed of the large army and reached tens of kilometers per day.

This is the so -called, the daily line is 100 miles.

It's easy, the two divisions of the Revolutionary Army grabbed Zai's tail, surrounded Zaiyu, and the Beijing division changed again.

Zai Yan decided to send the royal family north, and the little emperor was the first.

As soon as I was out of the Beijing Division, I encountered a bomb attack, but the wrong person was blown up and did not bomb to the little emperor.

The emperor's assassination was a big deal. The news was worn out quickly. Baoding Mansion, who was not far from Jingshi, almost got the news at the same time as Zheng Lei.

"The little emperor was attacked? The life was really big, so he didn't die." Hou Dehui shook his head regretfully.

"The royal family is hunting, and the saying is so good. Escape is to escape, and stick to your face."

"The attack should be done by our people, that is, I want to stop the Emperor Qing from running away. I guess that we will attack north soon."

Li Yan also shook his head and sighed.

"Report! The command of the headquarters, ordered my group to immediately go westward to the north, target Zhangjiakou, and receive the telegram as soon as possible.

"There is another division telegram, and all the teachers' vehicles are allocated to us."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and Li Yan's words were just falling, and the sending room came to order.

"Return the call, the third regiment was received, and immediately dispatched immediately after the transfer of the city."

"Li Yan." Hou Dehui was right and shouted.

"Yes!" Li Yan stood up with a spirit.

"The reconnaissance company moved first, investigated the arrangement of enemy forces, competed for the transportation hub, and cooperated with the large troops to attack." Hou Dehui ordered.

The entire division's vehicle is not enough to make the third group of motorization and the third group of the third regiment hit. This is not tens of kilometers by the river, this is hundreds of kilometers!

The vehicles needed by the delivery soldiers are not a magnitude, let alone a large number of supplies.

Therefore, Hou Dehui could only make a choice, carrying some automobiles to carry out reconnaissance companies, and some car transportation was heavy. The soldiers mainly rely on their legs.

This is the fastest way to save combat effectiveness.

"yes!"
