Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 146

Time passed quickly in the busyness, and it was the year of Jiawu in a blink of an eye.

This year, the relationship between my Da Qing and Xiao Zhai has become bad to a certain extent, and the dispute must be resolved with a war.

Cough cough, this is of course just Wu Dong's idea. Right now, although my high-ranking officials in the Qing Dynasty are wary of the little days, they don't take it to heart at all.

My high-level eyes in the Qing Dynasty have always only focused on the European powers. As for the small life around me, how can I take it to heart?
And who knows, in order to devour the flesh and blood of my Qing Dynasty to strengthen myself, Xiaotian will put all his eggs in one basket this year on the fate of the country.

If it succeeds, it will jump up and become the new overlord of East Asia; if it fails, all the previous reform efforts will be exhausted, and it will continue to lie dormant as the younger brother of the overlord of East Asia.

But I, Daqing, didn't realize this, or I didn't expect Xiaotian to dare to stud, which is simply unreasonable.

"Brother, we have caught a few more spies sent by Xiaotian!"

Wu Dong, who was looking at the blue sky and white clouds in silence, was awakened by his confidant's report.

"Let's deal with it according to the previous method, remember to inform Weihaiwei!"

Wu Dong felt a little helpless, waved his hand and said, "Tell Admiral Ding of Weihaiwei, which batch of spies we have captured?"

"It can be seen that the little days are plotting against the law, let's have some snacks!"

Telling people to leave after explaining, the mood is a bit complicated.

Ordinarily, according to the popular saying on the Internet in the modern era, wearing a chrysanthemum set of electric drills is not rebellious.

It's just that in the late Qing Dynasty, you will find that the situation is not as simple as imagined.

To put it bluntly, the old witch Cixi in the capital and Li Zhongtang, the minister of Beiyang, are nothing more than representatives of the world's gentry.

If you want to rebel, you will have trouble with the gentry group, and you can imagine the resistance you will encounter.

In the situation where my Qing Dynasty is not self-confident, the possibility of success in rebellion is extremely low.

This is only an internal factor, and the external powers are watching, and he can't give the big powers any chance.

In addition, without the endorsement of the government, the speed of his power development is not as smooth as imagined.

Even at this time, he has the strength to sweep Ludi, but he is not sure that he can completely overthrow the Qing army of more than 80 land and sea.

After all, Ludi is the core area of ​​my rule in the Qing Dynasty. Once something happens, I will definitely suppress it desperately. I can't judge whether I can withstand Wu Dong at that time.

Over the years, as more and more foreigners came to Ludi, there were more and more conflicts between his subordinates and foreigners.

Usually, when dealing with such matters, Wu Dong would use hidden horse bandits to solve them.

As long as the garbage that dares to be dogs to foreigners is removed, foreigners will have to fight alone without help, and they will not be able to make many waves at all.

However, the sequelae of this method are not small, not only the foreigners are jointly targeted, but even the government doesn't like it very much.

Under such circumstances, Wu Dong didn't intend to completely overturn my Daqing's desk.

Right now, it is obvious that external troubles are more serious than internal troubles, and it is better to follow the trend of the times.

In regions that do not belong to his sphere of influence, the relationship between local governments and foreigners can only be described as boiling against the sky.

Villagers besiege the church every now and then, and the number of bloody conflicts should not be too many.It's just that the number and scale of casualties were not large, and they were suppressed by the local government.

What is depressing is that almost every time there is a conflict between the villagers and the foreign church, the villagers are the ones who are injured and unlucky.

Many villagers couldn't take it anymore, and they dragged their families and defected to Senior Brother Wu.

In the past few years, the power under Wu Dong's command has expanded rapidly, with a large population spread across several Ludi prefectures, and he is definitely an existence like a tyrant.

It's just that his behavior and way of handling things still confuse the government and mainstream gentry, and they don't understand what he wants to do.

In the past few years, the number of Boxer farms has exceeded sixty, all of which were established in the wilderness, not connected to towns at all.

Just like a real private kingdom, if it weren't for the fact that the boxers under him almost controlled most of the bargaining power of vegetables, meat and eggs in these capital cities and towns, there would be really little connection.

Before, when Wu Dong acted like this, he was often scolded as a fool in secret.

However, as the conflict between the local people and the local people in Ludi deepened, some gentry and landowners with insufficient strength paid a lot of money to buy a house and the right to cultivate a small piece of land at the nearest Boxer Farm.

In Boxer Farm, the land is almost distributed according to the head, and private sales are not allowed. It has the style of a production brigade later, but there are not so many public lands.

The number of official boxers under Wu Dong has been kept at around [-].

This number, compared to his power and momentum at this time, seems to be quite small, not even as many as some senior brothers who have just risen in the altar.

But in fact, those who knew the inside story all gasped at Senior Brother Wu's astonishing strength.

The [-] official boxers must have practiced boxing for more than three years, and they must also have gone through literacy education, have a certain arithmetic ability, and have some ability to survive in the wild. Only after passing these qualifications can they become official boxers.

The official boxers are the core force under Wu Dong's command, and they have completely left production.

The management of the boxer farm, the core of the guard force, and the main force for maintaining local order are all official boxers.

Enjoying the best resources and treatment, the status is equivalent to the special constitution of the military and police of the government.

However, as time went by, Wu Dong was not in a good mood all the time, seeing that my Qing Dynasty was becoming less and less effective, and the little life in the east was getting more and more tossed.

Knowing clearly about the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], Xiaotian relied on betting on the country's luck to win, and forcibly snatched away my Qing's supremacy in East Asia. From then on, the land of China will be plunged into lasting turmoil.

He can't tell anyone yet, he can only keep emphasizing the robber nature of the great powers, no matter which great powers they are, don't have the slightest expectation of them.

There is no way, the cynics who dominate the mainstream public opinion are still looking like a kingdom of heaven. Apart from being in awe of the Western powers, they don't even look at the younger brothers of the East Asian vassals.

As everyone knows, Xiao Tian is mobilizing the whole country in order to fight for the hegemony in East Asia, and at the same time, various methods are frequently used.

For example, sending a large number of spies, or spies, to Ludi to inquire about the deployment of the Qing army, draw accurate maps, and so on.

Weihaiwei, the base of the Beiyang Navy Squadron, also known as the Jiao'ao area, was naturally the hardest-hit area for spy activities during the Little Days.

In normal history, neither the government nor the common people have any precautions, allowing the spies of the small days to wreak havoc.

But the situation is different now, Wu Dong is the local emperor of the Jiao'ao area.

The boxer farm system is not just for fun. If outsiders want to find out anything, it will be exposed immediately, and there is no way to hide it.

From years ago to the present, the number of spies caught by boxer farms in various places has numbered in the dozens.

These are all talents who can draw maps by hand, and Wu Dong directly sent them to the Dragon Palace as errands.

Of course, before sending them to the Dragon Palace, they will inform the Beiyang Navy of Weihaiwei.

The purpose, of course, is to remind the senior officials of the Beiyang Navy that Nima's little days have begun to be active, don't you have to strengthen some vigilance?

However, what disappointed him was that the senior officials of the Beiyang Navy stationed in Weihaiwei still didn't take it seriously when the reminder was so obvious.

According to a senior general of the navy, the navy in the small days is not worth mentioning at all, so what is there to worry about?
Ha ha……

Wu Dong also had nothing to say about this. He knew the general process and results of the Sino-Japanese War, so he naturally wouldn't remain silent.

It doesn't matter if the Beiyang Navy didn't take precautions. At this time, his brothers had already infiltrated the Weihaiwei Military Port and Lushun Military Port. Most of them were mixed up as sailors on warships or warships, and a small number of outstanding officers were already low-level officers.

Wu Dong's request to these brothers is very simple, learn to operate the warship and use the equipment on the warship as soon as possible, for the follow-up of the Sino-Japanese War.

When there is nothing wrong, it is natural that hello, hello, hello, everyone, but once the warship of the little day rushes over, Wu Dong will never allow the two major bases of the Beiyang Navy to surrender without any resistance.

No matter how bad it is, if it can't be done, the warships in the navy will have to sink themselves, or they will perish together with the warships of the small days.

For this reason, in the process of contacting the senior generals of the Beiyang Navy, he did not spend less money to make it easier for his younger brothers.

As for the effect, it can be seen that the two major navy bases have a total of more than [-] official boxers, and the number is still increasing.

The generals of the Beiyang Navy collected a lot of money, and turned a blind eye.

Wu Dong naturally had nothing to say about this.

It is also because of this that he has a relatively good understanding of the internal situation of the Beiyang Navy.

When the General Counsel of England is present, both combat effectiveness and training are not bad.

It's just a pity that the general counsel of Yingjili was driven away by the Beiyang Navy. The current officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Navy really have such a posture of entering Kuma and releasing Nanshan.

It seems that apart from the hard-to-conquer European powers, there is only one existence in East Asia, and all kinds of messy things really don't want to be too much.

These have little to do with Wu Dong. He just needs to know whether the Beiyang Navy can fight and whether he has the courage to fight.

As for Xiaotian's aggression, he has other arrangements, not to mention giving Xiaotian a head-on blow, but also telling them to suffer a lot, knowing that China is not empty.

Little Days is nothing more than a modern army at this time. Regardless of the navy, the army's equipment is the same. I really don't want to overestimate it.

This is also the news he inquired from the local people from his childhood through some channels.

As long as you know this point, Wu Dong is confident that his arrangement can have good results. How much he can use his years of accumulation will depend on his performance in this Sino-Japanese War.

It's just that this feeling of fighting alone is not very wonderful, it is...
