    Xiaochong has a lot to do this month, so there are only two updates per day. Book friends, please forgive me.

    ——————————————————————

    After the meeting, Wei Jichen immediately sent a telegram to Lushun, ordering Li Yunfei's camp office to start recruiting troops and must recruit 100,000 troops within a month.

    In addition to recruiting soldiers from Liaodong, it was also necessary to reorganize the surrendered troops. Wang Shizhen and Ma Jinxu were ordered to handle this matter.

    In this way, the troops that the Liaodong government can control will be huge. Since the attack on the capital is suspended, then of course these days will be used to reorganize the surrendered troops and restore them to combat effectiveness immediately.

    In this battle in Tianjin, both the enemy and ourselves suffered very few casualties. Except for the slight resistance encountered at the Governor's Mansion, the other battles were all ended at the drop of a hat.

    Including the soldiers stationed at Shanhaiguan and Qinhuangdao, Song Qing's Yijun had a total of more than 30,000 people. There was limited resistance and most of them surrendered; more than 10,000 soldiers from the Patrol Battalion and Green Camp surrendered; in addition, the captive Gan  There were more than 5,000 troops, and Yuan Shikai's 30,000 newly-built army joined the rebellion.

    In total, this war contributed about 150,000 contribution points to Wei Jichen. Adding the previous 60,000 merit points, he has a total of more than 200,000 merit points.

    In view of the possibility of fighting with the fleets of the great powers in East Asia, Wei Jichen decided to clear out these merit points and use them all to purchase submarines. The current submarine detachment has 30 submarines. If he buys these 10 more submarines, there will be 40 submarines.  .

    Wei Jichen raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. If these submarines launched a sneak attack, they could wipe out all the fleets of the great powers in East Asia. Then, let the storm come more violently. This is why Wei Jichen dared to confront the great powers head-on.

    At this time, the whole world will be shocked by another new weapon in its hands.

    However, although he was fully capable of annihilating the invading enemies, Wei Jichen still followed the strategy he had formulated before: kill France, cripple Britain, and leave Germany behind.

    " Killing the chicken to show the monkey, he wanted to scare the great powers, rather than engage in all-out war with them. Therefore, France, the weakest among the great powers, naturally became Wei Jichen's carefully selected target.

    After the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded China, Chiaf of the British Australian Corps talked about his impressions of the various armies in an interview with a Western newspaper:

    The German army was young, strong and well-disciplined, and no one really took the French army seriously;

    The Russians are so clumsy that their soldiers are often beaten severely by their officers, yet they can endure it;

    Italians don’t know how to fight and like to hide under the wings of the British army;

    The Japanese are a group of dwarfs in uniforms. They are full of fighting spirit but very hypocritical. They can fight with the Chinese while calling them brothers by their necks.

    "The British army should not transfer the Indian Kurks to China. These people can work as coolies, but they are useless in cold China. One Chinese coolie can pay for a dozen Indians, and the price is only half of that of the Indians.

    This is one of the reasons why Wei Jichen wants to step on the French. France can rank high among the great powers, but its combat effectiveness is not very strong. It is used as a stepping stone to establish prestige and improve national self-confidence.

    Although leaving Germany is related to the strong combat effectiveness of the German army, Wei Jichen is not afraid of fighting with the German army. Among several major powers, an alliance with Germany is more likely and more in line with China's interests. First, Germany is almost the most powerful country in Europe.  There are not many colonies around the world, and there is a shortage of information. Secondly, Germany has come from behind, so it does not have many interests in China and Asia, and the conflict with China is relatively small. If the unequal treaties are abolished, it will be in the hands of the great powers.  Among them, the impact on Germany was the smallest, and the reaction was not so violent in comparison.

    Therefore, as long as the Germans see that China has the strength to serve as an ally, the possibility of promotion at this time is very high.

    In that compartment, when He Zonglian saw Feng Guozhang leading the army to support him, he felt extremely excited, and the fear and worry he had felt just now disappeared.

    What he was afraid of was not that foreigners would come to look for trouble, but that Wei Jichen would scold him for ignoring the overall situation. When he saw the army coming, he naturally knew Wei Jichen's attitude.

    "Chengxi, how is the situation?" As soon as Feng Guozhang arrived, he ordered the army to join the defense, and he walked to He Zonglian to ask about the situation of the battle.

    He Zonglian did not reply, but handed the telescope to Feng Guozhang and asked him to check it himself.

    Feng Guozhang raised it up and took a look, but saw that the concession checkpoint had long been reduced to ruins, and there were many enemy soldiers lying on the ground who were not sure whether they were dead or alive. When he looked inside, there were no pedestrians on the streets in the concession.  , but a large armyBut it came over.

    "What orders does Commander Wei have?" He Zonglian asked solemnly while taking back the telescope.

    Feng Guozhang curled his lips helplessly and chuckled: "You have caused everything, is it a little late to ask now?"

    "You can't blame me for this. Foreigners are unreasonable. If I don't order a counterattack, it will only leave the impression in the minds of the soldiers that our Dingliao army is afraid of foreigners. This will have a huge blow to morale. All along, I, Dingliao  The army gives people the impression of being fearless, and I don’t want to break this spirit because of me." He Zonglian said seriously.

    Feng Guozhang nodded in agreement and said, "That makes sense. Don't worry. Commander Wei has decided to recruit an additional 100,000 troops to cope with the dangers that may arise next. We will do the same for these powerful armies that dare to invade our Ding Liao Army."  It’s very simple, just kill them and not bury them!”

    Even though Seymour had seen the situation on this side of the checkpoint through the telescope, now that he had arrived here and saw the soldiers lying on the ground groaning in pain, he still couldn't help but tremble with anger.

    "Fuck, these damn Chinamen must pay the price with blood." Seymour looked at the British Consul Tullery and said bitterly.

    Du Leli glanced around and lowered his voice: "General, you don't need to be so angry. Almost all of the people killed in the battle are Chinese. We can take the opportunity to blackmail a lot of political conditions. The Chinese General Wei is leading his army to attack Beijing.  Without the support of our British Empire, could they make it? So, don’t worry, it is very worthwhile to exchange these dead Chinese soldiers for our large interests in China."

    After Du Leli finished speaking, he saw a group of Chinese people walking towards him outside the concession.  He couldn't help but said proudly: "Look, Li Hongzhang came to apologize. Just watch from the sidelines how I humiliated him and how I obtained a lot of benefits."

    "Damn politicians!" Seymour cursed secretly in his heart, but did not object. He was not busy taking action. First, he wanted to see what the Chinese had to say.

    Soon, Li Hongzhang appeared in front of the British with dozens of followers.

    "Mr. Du Leli!" Li Hongzhang just opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Du Leli interrupted him unreasonably.

    "Master Li, look around you. These are all good things done by your Ding Liao army. If you come to apologize on behalf of the Liaodong government and explain that this is an accident, we will not accept your apology. I think it is still  Let me, the warships of the British Empire, visit Takukou again." Du Leli snorted coldly and pointed a finger at Li Hongzhang's nose. His spittle flew everywhere, and a lot of it splashed on Li Hongzhang's face.

    Li Hongzhang suppressed the anger in his heart, slowly took out his handkerchief from his arms, and gently wiped the saliva on his face. Li Hongzhang had already received a piece of information from the British consul, that is, the British warship  Maybe he came to Dagukou.

    "Mr. Consul, how about we talk first?" Li Hongzhang said softly.

    Du Leli glanced at Li Hongzhang with disdain and cursed loudly: "There is nothing to talk about. Your Liaodong government must apologize to Ma Shan, hand over the murderer immediately, compensate us for all losses, and sign an agreement to ensure that the British Empire in China  Contract for personnel safety.”

    Seymour and a group of foreigners watched with great interest as Du Leli taught Li Hongzhang a lesson, with a hint of ridicule on their faces.

    Li Hongzhang really couldn't bear it anymore, not to mention that he didn't come here to apologize at all.

    Fuck you, you are clearly the one who started the trouble. Not only did you collect war criminals, but you also attacked our army without any reason. The officers and soldiers of the Dingliao Army had no choice but to open fire. I am here to ask you to hand over all the fugitives in the rental area.  And explain it all to us.  "Li Hongzhang banged his cane on the ground several times, his eyes swept over the foreigners one by one, and he said angrily.
