Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Sheng Xuanhuai has a wide network of contacts. Before Ye Zhikui's rebellion army was launched, he received the news from Ye Zhikui. He was shocked and hurried to Baoding Mansion to avoid the war. After Ye Zhikui succeeded in the rebellion, he naturally hurried to Beijing up.

Ye Zhikui greeted him out of the main hall, but Sheng Xuanhuai hastily stepped forward and said: "Ye Shuai, I can't help it, I killed the old minister."

Sheng Xuanhuai looked at Ye Zhikui with a complicated expression. He really couldn't see through this son-in-law more and more.

Ye Zhikui also said in embarrassment: "If there is no one in private, let's call him uncle and nephew."

Sheng Xuanhuai was relieved in his heart, but he didn't change his words, and said: "Etiquette should not be neglected, Ye Shuai don't say too much."

Ye Zhikui had no choice but to let him go. Thinking of how many times he had heard this kind of words due to the change of status, he probably would be really lonely in a short time.

"Uncle, why is it difficult to find a son-in-law?" Not long ago, Ye Zhikui conceived of connecting Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, and Jiangsu, planning to build several railways, and then handed over the matter to Sheng Xuanhuai. Now he is looking for himself. What's wrong.

Sheng Xuanhuai said with a smile: "Don't worry about Ye Shuai's work as an old minister. Today I just want to introduce someone to Ye Shuai. He is Zhan Tianyou, who graduated from Yale University in the United States and is in charge of building the Tanggu-Tianjin Railway."

"Mr. Zhan? Please hurry up, where is he now?" Ye Zhikui had long wanted to see this earliest engineer in China.

"I'm waiting outside the palace for Ye Shuai to summon me." Seeing that Ye Zhikui, the person he introduced, paid great attention to him, Sheng Xuanhuai was naturally happy.

Soon, Zhan Tianyou, who was dressed in a suit and had a mustache, walked in Shi Shiran.

"Shuai Ye" Zhan Tianyou carefully hugged the most powerful person in China after saluting.

"Mr. Zhan, please sit down," Ye Zhikui stretched out his hand and said.

Zhan Tianyou probably stayed in the United States for a long time, and he didn't use so many stereotypes, so he sat down after hearing the words.

"Ye Shuai wanted to build a direct railway from Jiangsu to the capital. He originally considered foreign companies, but after my persuasion, he planned to establish a China Railway Company. Now I want to ask you whether this general project can be realized."

When it came to building the railway, Zhan Tianyou immediately became interested, his eyes brightened, and he said: "Shuai Ye, please rest assured that I, Chinese, are no worse than foreign countries. Looking at the railway construction in various countries,..."

A series of terms came out of Zhan Tianyou's mouth. Ye Zhikui resisted his drowsiness and watched him talk with eloquence. .

"Ye Shuai Ye Shuai"

Ye Zhikui woke up with a jolt, and looked at Zhan Tianyou who was looking excited, not knowing why.

Sheng Xuanhuai reminded: "Mr. Zhan has already stated his general idea."

Ye Zhikui nodded and said with a smile: "Well, what you said just now is very good, and you have a lot of ideas, so I will do as you said."

Sheng Xuanhuai hurriedly said: "Ye Shuai, we will talk about this matter later, we are still building the railway between Beijing and Tianjin first."

Sheng Xuanhuai then lowered his head and said softly, "Zhan Tianyou just hoped that Ye Shuai would support the construction of dozens of railways across the country."

Ye Zhikui came to his senses completely, and changed the conversation: "We have to eat every bite, and the railways are also being repaired one by one. Let's build the Beijing-Tianjin Railway first."

Zhan Tianyou finally understood that what he said just now was in vain, but he was satisfied with being able to build the Beijing-Tianjin Railway. .

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The Tsarist Russian government handed over the South Manchurian battlefield (Lushunkou to Shengjing) to the command of the Pacific Navy Commander Lieutenant General Alexeyev, and handed over the North Manchuria battlefield (Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces) to the Commander of the Amur Military Region Grodekov command.Minister of War Kurobatykin was in charge of the general war and was directly responsible to the Tsar

Russia first attacked China's Heilongjiang and Jilin in four directions. In order to realize the Yellow Russia plan, it permanently occupied the Northeast, implemented the Sanguang policy, and raped and raped. Wherever it passed, there was no grass, and people and animals died. From rice white noodles to vegetables and poultry, from Animals, vehicles, and clothing are all within the scope of their robbery. On the one hand, it is because the Russian army has difficulty in supplying supplies in the Far East. They need to plunder and rob to support and supplement their military supplies. On the other hand, it is the brutality of these Rakshasa ghosts. nature.

Russia is no better than Japan, and it does not hide its aggressive nature at all. Later generations of Japan invaded and occupied the three eastern provinces of China, and they were more cunning.

Facing the ferocious Tsarist Russian robbers, where there is invasion, there must be resistance. All ethnic groups and classes in the Northeast united against Russia and fought side by side. From the banks of the Heilongjiang River in the north, to the Bohai Bay in the south, from the Ussuri River in the east to the Bohai Bay in the west. As far as the Hulunbeier Grassland, there were raging fires against the Tsarist Russian invasion everywhere. There were dozens of insurgents in various parts of the Northeast.

The two legions of the Russian Four Route Army were resisted by the Chinese defenders on the front line of Hulunbeier and Aihui in Heilongjiang, and the line of Sanxing City and Ningguta in Jilin.

Jilin General Changshun led the reinforcements, together with Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang's National Defense Army soldiers, went north to support Ningguta and Sanxing City respectively.It will meet the Second Siberian Army led by Major General Alekseyev of the Russian Army to attack from Khabarovsk.

Jiang Zikang and Song Qing led the army from Shanhaiguan to the north to support Hulunbuir City in Heilongjiang, and met the Siberian Third Army formed by the right wing of the Amur Military Region. The Russian army attacking from Hailanpao has now reached the front line of Aihui. The ultimate goal of the two Russian armies is Qiqihar, the provincial capital of Heilongjiang.

General Yiktanga of Shengjing returned to Shengjing and, together with the Beiyang Navy, strictly prevented the Russian army from going south from Vladivostok through the fleet to attack other provinces.

On May 5, Jiang Zikang and Song Qing's camp reached the Chinese defenders' Yakeling position, which was only one day away from the front line Yakeshi.

Not long ago, Hulunbeier City was occupied by the Russian army without firing a single shot. Yixing'a, the deputy commander of the Chinese garrison, led the Seventh Battalion of the Horse Infantry, with a total of more than 3000 people retreating to Yakeshi, a dangerous place. Reinforcements arrive.

Yakeshi is in the west of Daxing'an Mountains. If it falls into the enemy's hands, the Chinese position of Jakeling, the most dangerous barrier on Qiqihar West Road, will be exposed to the enemy. After that, the Russian army will be able to drive straight into Qiqihar, so Yakeshi cannot be lost.

The National Defense Army and the Yi Army began to attack the Russian army together with the enemy before they fought, and the atmosphere between the two armies was quite harmonious.

On the side of the Yi army, there is Song Qing, the president of the Yi army, and Ma Yukun, who was promoted to the admiral of Zhejiang after the war. Ma Yukun's troops also belonged to the Yi army, but he did not go to the capital with Song Qing to rescue him, but later went north to fight against Russia. Among those who joined, there were more than [-] people from the [-]th and [-]th Battalions of the Yi Army of the two routes.

The National Defense Army was led by Jiang Zikang, with cavalry, the first artillery team, and the third infantry battalion, a total of nearly 4000 people.

After all, there are many soldiers in Yi Yi, and Song Qing lives in the main seat, with Jiang Zikang and Ma Yukun on the left and right, and then they are separated.

Song Qing first talked about the general battle report, and said: "Everyone, news came from Yakeshi yesterday that Zaromud has fallen. The Russian army's vanguard, led by Major General Orlov, has a total of more than 5000 people and is already heading for Yake. On the way to the stone, Du Tong Yi Xing'a asked us for help, I mean to wipe out the vanguard of the foreign devils in one fell swoop, and then try to recover Hulun Buir."

After Song Qing finished speaking, he turned to Jiang Zikang to see if he had anything to add.

Jiang Zikang stood up, walked to the map, and said with a smile: "The generation of Yakeshi from Zaluomu is dangerous, and there are many ambushes along the way. I would like to lead the army to ambush."

Ma Yukun also stood up and said, "Shuai Song, let me go with General Jiang."

Song Qing pondered for a moment, and finally agreed: "So, you two are the vanguard of our army, and go to Yakeshi immediately."

The military situation was tense, and the two hurriedly took orders to go.

On the 29th, before dawn, several Russian sentries were waiting for their replacements to arrive on the frontline positions of the Russian army.

The leading sentinel squad leader stretched his waist, stretched his muscles and bones, and asked a soldier beside him, "Alex, when do you think the general will start marching today?"

Achilles asked puzzledly: "Squad leader, didn't the general say that he was sick and postponed the march?"

Kania looked around and saw no one, so he smiled and said: "You know what a fart, the general has captured a few women from the Qing Dynasty these days, and they are enjoying it. General Erlov took us too fast and was too far away from the army behind, and has already been scolded by the higher-ups."

Achilles said angrily: "The general only knows how to enjoy himself. Last time he slaughtered so many women from the Qing Dynasty, it would be great if we rewarded him."

"Don't dream, bringing a large number of women will affect the speed of the march. Without women, we can help each other."

"Okay, you can help me untie the belt, it's too tight to loosen."

The two hugged each other, found a soft place, and fell to the pile of dead leaves next to them.

Mom, that's really bad luck. Liu Qiang sprang up from the pile of dead leaves with a bang, and rushed towards a Russian soldier like lightning. Several other Chinese soldiers also jumped up in an instant after receiving the gesture. Chris and Kania.

Liu Qiang knew that soon when the Russian soldiers were changing their posts, he made a kill gesture, and Aklis and Kania were both killed.Liu Qiang and another sergeant took off their Russian uniforms and put on big hats. They couldn't recognize him as a Chinese without approaching him.

Several people killed several other sentries, put on their clothes, and waited for the arrival of the Russian soldiers who changed the sentry.

"Kanya, don't pretend to be dead, what are you doing squatting on the ground with your head down?" The squad leader of the Russian army who came to change the whistle asked Liu Qiang on the shoulder.

Liu Qiang suddenly jumped up, grabbed his hand and fell over his shoulder, and then the dagger hit the throat of the squad leader of the Russian army.
