Rebirth of the Northern Giants

"My lord, will Changshun still obey the orders of the military government?" asked Tang Zizai's entourage.

"Although this old man has a little prestige in Jilin, as our military government is getting more and more powerful, even if he has a different heart, the generals under him may not agree with him. You and I will go to the front line of Ninggu Tower to see How will the deputy commander of the front line, Shuang Ling, do it."

Tang Zizai was very displeased with Changshun, and planned to instigate the generals under him to take the Jilin general out of the picture. .

Volume [-] The Wind and Cloud of the Capital

In the early morning, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City, all the ministers lined up on both sides, all looking at the enraged generalissimo. Ye Zhikui was looking at a Mongolian 'credential' with trembling hands.

It says that due to the fall of the Qing government, the military government has no affiliation with Mongolia, so the tribal princes will respect Bokda Khan, that is, the Mongolian sage, as the emperor, set up the capital of Kulun, establish the "Great Mongolian Kingdom", and declare The land of Inner Mongolia also belongs to the territory of "Great Mongolia".

With the support of Russia, some reactionary forces in Mongolia are really bold and do whatever they want.

Do you think that now that China and Russia are at war, and the troops in the Shaanxi-Gansu region are relatively empty, it doesn't matter to you.

"It's simply too arrogant, how dare to bully our military government's soldiers so unfavorably?"

In the pen and ink, it is as if he, the generalissimo, is not in the slightest.

Ye Zhikui stood up from the golden throne, jumped into a rage, glared, and threw the 'Certificate of Credence' in his hand to the ground with a snap.

None of the civil and military officials in the Golden Luan Hall dared to speak out. In the middle of the hall was kneeling a man dressed in the official uniform of a first-rank official of the Qing government and covering his face with gauze.

This person is De Lin, the Chinese Minister of Affairs in Mongolia. He was expelled from the country by the Russian-Mongolian coalition forces of Outer Mongolia not long ago, and brought back a "credential" of the Great Mongolian State.

As soon as he slapped the dragon chair, Ye Zhikui said angrily: "I, Ye Zhikui, have not yet dared to proclaim the title of emperor, but a mere corner of Outer Mongolia dares to be the king and emperor. Delin, you stand up first, why are you still wearing a veil?"

Delin traveled all the way, and as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he immediately came to see him.

He had already reported to the military government by telegram that he was disarmed and expelled by the Russian and Mongolian troops, but he did not explain that the reactionary forces in Outer Mongolia established Bokda Khan as emperor and established the Great Mongolian State.

Standing up slightly tremblingly, De Lin took off the face mask according to his words, revealing two big hollow holes inside, his nose was actually cut off.

"My minister has no face to see others, I implore the Generalissimo to be the master of the minister and the other sergeants have been brutally killed by them, leaving only the minister to report the letter." De Lin burst into tears, choking with sobs.

This is the biggest provocation and insult to the military government.

Ye Zhikui's anger went straight to his heart, his chest heaved and heaved, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he punched Gao An.

"Piffan dares to deceive me like this"

The left and right ministers saw blood dripping from between his fingers, and a young eunuch next to him was frightened, but he dared not step forward to bandage him.

Delin was also so frightened that he stopped crying.

Almost gnashing his teeth, Ye Zhikui said word by word: "Pin Qing, you lead the army to Outer Mongolia immediately. I can't wait for Jiang Zikang and the others. After entering Mongolia, kill all these traitors and leave no one behind. Otherwise, it will be hard to eliminate me." The hatred in my heart."

Wang Shizhen was equally angry, and hurried out, but said in a persuasive tone: "Generalissimo,"

"Why, you still have to speak out against it?" Ye Zhikui opened his eyes angrily, staring at him firmly.

Wang Shizhen finished speaking unhurriedly, and said: "Generalissimo, I just think that one person is more suitable than me."

Ye Zhikui let out a long breath, calmed down a little and said, "Who?"

In fact, as soon as he finished his angry words, he regretted a little. Wang Shizhen was his right-hand man, and he couldn't leave, but what he said was the water that was spilled, and he couldn't take it back himself.

Fortunately, Wang Shizhen gave him this step.

Wang Shizhen looked at Dong Fuxiang, who was standing behind, bowed his head and said nothing, "It is General Dong. He used to be the admiral of Gansu. He has many connections with Mongolian princes and nobles, so he is the most suitable."

After Dong Fuxiang led the Gan army into Beijing, the forces in Shaanxi and Gansu became empty, and Ye Zhikui was busy fighting against Russia in the northeast, and did not expect that Outer Mongolia would suddenly become independent. At this time, he had to dispatch troops from Zhili area. In the past few days, a large number of new recruits have been recruited.

Dong Fuxiang did not refuse, just as Wang Shizhen finished speaking, he took the opportunity to stand up and said: "The old minister is willing to take on this important task."

"That's great, how many soldiers and horses do you need?" Ye Zhikui didn't say much.

After a little calculation, Dong Fuxiang replied: "Soldiers are expensive and fast. I think 6000 troops are enough."

"Well, I'll give you 2000 more troops. After you enter Mongolia, you don't have to be soft-hearted, especially for Russia's forces in Mongolia. I don't care what civilian soldiers are. Now is the time when the two countries are at war, and the Russians who are still on the battle line between the two countries People should be regarded as the enemy." Ye Zhikui said coldly.

"The old minister obeys the orders of the generalissimo."

Wang Shizhen persuaded again: "Generalissimo, not all tribes in Mongolia support independence, please also remind Generalissimo."

Several other ministers also expressed their support.

Xu Shichang pondered in his heart for a while, and he would not get much credit for staying in the General Staff. If you seek wealth and danger, you might as well seize this opportunity.

So he stood up and said loudly: "Generalissimo, I would like to use my tongue to express my heart to the Mongolian kings of the military government to send troops to crusade against rebellion."

Ye Zhikui nodded and said: "Since you have this heart, I will do what you wish. You and General Dong will go to Mongolia together. After the matter is completed, I will cancel the Mongolian office and change it to the Mongolian province. You are the candidate for governor."

Xu Shichang said happily: "Thank you, Generalissimo, for your attention."

……

On the east coast of North Korea, Wonsan Bay and Wonsan Port were favored by Deng Shichang and Nie Shicheng, and they planned to serve as the naval base of the Beiyang Navy in North Korea. Wonsan was originally a small port, and it could meet the requirements of the navy with a little modification.

Today, the pier is very lively, people come and go, it is busy, tinkling and busy, it is completely a construction site, this is the construction of workers in three shifts day and night, in order to make this place as fast as possible. play a military role.

Not long after the sun rose, the workers on the dock were still having breakfast, when they saw a group of people riding horses galloping towards them from a distance, and the dock supervisor rushed to meet them.

Because he saw Min Bingseok, Minister of the North Korean Army, among the pedestrians, and he was still by his side.

It was Nie Shicheng, Deng Shichang, Tang Shaoyi and his party. They came here today to check the construction situation. The 1 national defense troops have been transported from Busan and stationed in the Wonsan area. Under the instigation of Tang Shaoyi, the North Korean government also agreed to send troops together with the military government. , Also assembled an army of about [-] people.

"I have seen all the adults." The supervisor bowed and saluted and said hello.

Min Bingseok nodded in satisfaction, and asked aloud, "How is the project completed?"

The supervisor claimed credit and said: "Returning to my lord, the overall renovation project has been roughly completed, the sea lanes have been cleaned up, and warships can come and go freely."

Not disappointing him, Min Byung-seok said lightly: "Good job, I made a note of it, you go down and do your work first, let's see for ourselves."

"Yes, my lord"

After the supervisor left with a smile on his face, Min Bingseok looked at Deng Shichang, who was looking far away, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Didn't delay General Deng's important business?"

The Beiyang Navy annihilated the Russian Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop, making Deng Shichang's name spread all over North Korea very quickly. Min Bingshi admired this Lord Deng very much.

Deng Shichang retracted his gaze and praised: "Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, the port can be used for military purposes. The water in Yuanshan Bay is deep and the tidal range is small. It is really a good natural port. Master Min is indeed a man of the world."

Min Byung-seok stroked his beard secretly proudly.

Nie Shicheng asked in a deep voice: "Zhengqing, the Russian landing site has been selected. The old man has been in North Korea for a while, training soldiers all day long, gearing up, and I'm waiting for you."

It seems that this old general Nie has a lot of complaints about the navy.
