Super dictator.

"Oh, then what can I get out of it?" Wei Jichen asked curiously after hearing Da Shanyan's words.

Da Shanyan thought he was having fun, and the smile on his face was even bigger, and he said hurriedly: "The empire will give Wei Jun some financial help, which is enough for Wei Jun to be rich for the rest of his life."

"Hahaha!" Wei Jichen laughed out of joy, Da Shanyan was a little confused for a while, and looked at him blankly.

Ah!

Wei Jichen opened his mouth violently and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm into the teacup that Da Shanyan had just picked up.

Da Shanyan's face immediately turned blue and then white, he put the teacup heavily on the low table, with a hint of anger, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid? Wei Jichen just wants to bribe me." Wei Jichen sneered and gave him a disdainful look.

"Wei Jun, do you think Russia will have any good intentions in helping your country take back Liaodong?" Da Shanyan suppressed the anger in his heart and talked eloquently.

"Russia, the country of wolves, has long coveted the land of Liaodong, and has long wanted to obtain a natural ice-free port in the Far East. Without the help of our country, do you think you can stabilize the situation in Liaodong? Hmph, I'm afraid It won't be long before the Liaodong we returned to you will fall into the hands of the Russians." Da Shanyan stood up, but when the temptation failed, he threatened him, then smiled slightly, and said, "As long as you cooperate with our country, why not Guard Liaodong, when the time comes, you will be able to do business in your country's court, our country only needs a little bit of resources, we each get what we need, why not do it?"

"You don't have to worry about this, since I, Wei Jichen, can defeat the Japanese slaves, I can also defeat the Russian enemy." Wei Jichen replied with a sneer.

Da Shanyan was furious at this moment, being insulted by Wei Jichen again and again, even a clay figurine would be irritated, let alone Da Shanyan is not a clay figurine.

He lost his original calm look, and scolded angrily: "Baga, Wei Jichen, don't be too self-righteous, thinking that after a few small victories, you will be invincible in the world? If it wasn't for you, China, to seek peace from the Great Japanese Empire, I would Da Shanyan commanded the army to destroy you long ago, you should think about how you ran away like a bereaved dog in Ximu City back then."

Da Shanyan's words immediately poked the deepest pain in Wei Jichen's heart.

"If you kill me, I'll kill you first." Wei Jichen stood up abruptly, like a wild beast that chooses people, staring at Da Shanyan with sharp eyes.

Da Shanyan was so scared that he took two steps back again and again, and now he regretted it in his heart. This Wei Jichen didn't seem to act according to common sense at all, and he was also a daring one. people come over.

When the attendants of both sides saw this battle, they quickly drew their guns and confronted each other. The situation was so tense that it could explode.

Suddenly, Wei Jichen chuckled, pointed at Da Shanyan's receding feet, and sarcastically said: "Da Shanyan, you only have the guts to dare to lead troops to destroy me, if I were you, I would have been cut open long ago. "

Wei Jichen naturally wouldn't do anything to Da Shanyan at this time, but it's still okay to frighten him, who knows, Da Shanyan really doesn't need to be scared.

This is mainly because Wei Jichen is too young. In the eyes of ordinary people, young people are a little impulsive, and sometimes they do things without considering the consequences.

Da Shanyan lost all face, his face was ashen, he didn't even say a word on the scene, he flicked his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"

"Let's go slowly, take a bunch of your beasts and get out of the city as soon as possible." Wei Jichen said with a smile behind him.

The sound reached Da Shanyan's ears, making him tremble and stagger with anger.

After Da Shanyan walked away, Wei Jichen lost his arrogance just now, and his face sank, frowning tightly.

Wei Jichen knew that at least one thing Dashanyan said was correct, that is, Russia really regarded Liaodong as a taboo, and his heart was ready to move.

Russia began to build the Siberian Railway in 1891. Last year, the road was built to the Lake Baikal area. The Russian Finance Minister pointed out that there is no need to make a detour, and the straight line can be built directly from China.

Last year and this year, the Russians took advantage of the Sino-Japanese war, and China had no time to care about others and did not dare to cause trouble. They have sent people to investigate around Northeast China, asking the Qing government to order the local authorities to "let them go without hindrance" and "take care of them according to their ability". The Siberian Railway takes a straight line across the northeast to Vladivostok.

This can not only shorten the distance, but also make the construction easier. More importantly, it can take the opportunity to control the Northeast in its own hands.

The railway is the main artery of the economy. Once the railway is completed, the surrounding minerals can be exploited as much as possible.

In order to repay the Sino-Japanese War indemnity, the Qing government even borrowed money from Russia.

The Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank, controlled by Russia and France, frequently winks at the Qing government, threatening to have the privileges of building railways, opening mines, setting up factories, and collecting taxes in China as conditions.

Inside the imperial court, including Li Hongzhang, a large number of people advocated changing the foreign policy of "using the barbarians to control the barbarians" before the Sino-Japanese War, and instead adopting a policy of alliance with foreign countries. It's a good idea.

Now even the Japanese can see the Russians' prodigal ambitions, why no one in the DPRK and China can see it, or the DPRK and China ministers are lucky.

"Wei Shuai, the Japanese have already left the city." Wang Huaiqing admired Wei Jichen's performance just now. If you want to say enough about men, there is probably no one like Wei Shuai in the Qing Dynasty. I follow him Left and right, only one cool word can describe it.

Looking around, Wei Jichen saw hundreds of nearly 1000 Japanese people walking slowly towards Jinzhou from the city. Most of the Japanese people in Fuzhou City had already withdrawn.

Jinzhou will take over in five days, Lushun and Dalian Bay will take half a month, and all the land in Liaodong will be returned to the Chinese army in Geshi.

"Let's go, let's go into the city." After Wei Jichen returned to the horse team, he whipped his whip and ordered.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, when they heard a loud bang, everyone was startled. When they looked over, they saw a large area of ​​the city gate collapsed, dust flying, and turned into ruins.

"Da Shanyan!" Wei Jichen saw Da Shanyan riding a horse at the back of the Japanese team, and made a gesture of inviting Wei Jichen in.

It turned out that just now Da Shanyan had lost face, and after returning to his army, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he ordered someone to blow up the city gate, which was a little bit of a relief.

Wei Jichen didn't bother to bother him, but compared to before, Wei Jichen was much more careful, and first sent a small team into the city to explore the road. If the Japanese planted a few mines on the road and he stepped on them unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to tell why.

The Japanese team gradually became smaller and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. The small detachment that went to explore the road also sent back news that the journey was safe.

"Come on, let's go in." Wei Jichen sighed softly.

Tick, tick...

After a sound of hoofbeats, Wei Jichen led the crowd to rush in through the gap.

I saw that the city was full of desolation, and all the bustling places were reduced to ashes, ruined walls, rubble and rubble, and countless houses were destroyed to the point of being uninhabitable.

"Family, country, world. Alas!" Wei Jichen sighed heavily.

In Fuzhou City, there were ten rooms and nine empty spaces, Wei Jichen had no choice but to take care of the army temporarily, and wait for the imperial court to appoint a new magistrate, so that he could call them the government affairs. Of course, the military affairs still had to be firmly in his own hands.

After a busy day in Fuzhou, I counted the surviving people in the city, only to find that there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled left, and most of the young and strong disappeared to nowhere.

Wei Jichen had heard about one thing before, that is, after the Japanese occupied the Northeast, in order to improve the situation of their own short race, they smuggled a large number of strong Chinese from the Northeast, and then transported them back to Japan for breeding.

Could it be that these disappearing adults were taken away by them in this way.

After returning to Haicheng, Wei Jichen immediately ordered the left-wing troops to be dispatched first, taking back the city returned by the Japanese along the way. The main training and defense areas of the Dingliao Army will be Lushunkou and Dalian Bay, but Haicheng must also stay here. It cannot be returned to General Sheng Jing in vain.

Wei Jichen thought for a while, and felt that it would be better to keep Huzi's cavalry. Firstly, the cavalry moved quickly, and secondly, Huzi was his veteran subordinate, so he could rest assured. Thirdly, guard Lushunkou, a military port city like Dalian Bay, The Colts don't play much of a role either.

As for the training base of the Special Forces, it is better to find a fixed place in the mountains around Haicheng. Haicheng is located in the hinterland of Liaodong, which is a good place to develop in all directions.

One order after another was sent out from the government office, and the three armies were deployed in a moment, with great momentum.

But at this time, Wei Jichen went to Changfeng Escort.

The headquarters of the Changfeng Escort is located in a large courtyard in the west of Haicheng City. There are now more than 200 bodyguards in the Escort, which is already considered a large force.

When Wei Jichen led Wang Huaiqing into the courtyard, he saw Zhang Zuolin training bodyguards, and his posture seemed to be training an army.

"Wei Shuai!" Zhang Zuolin came up to greet Wei Jichen with a look of surprise after seeing Wei Jichen.

Some bodyguards around also stepped forward to salute. Wei Jichen took a closer look, and found that many of them had traces of soldiers on their bodies. It seemed that these people belonged to the former Wei Zijun.

After returning the gifts one by one, Zhang Zuolin invited Wei Jichen into the living room.

"Yuting, how is the business now?" Wei Jichen asked after the two parties sat down one by one.

Zhang Zuolin said embarrassingly: "The Escort's airs are big enough, so they don't make much money."

"Money is a trivial matter. Now the Northeast is in chaos. If we are not careful, we will fall into eternal doom." Wei Jichen sighed heavily and said with a serious face.

Zhang Zuolin was a little confused and asked, "Why did Shuai Wei say that? The Japanese are retreating from Liaodong. Isn't the situation getting better and better?"

Zhang Zuolin is still a little immature.

"The wolves went, but the tigers came. I heard that the Russians have been moving around the Northeast recently. Have you heard anything?" Wei Jichen bluntly pointed out that the scourge is the Russians.

When Wei Jichen said this, Zhang Zuolin suddenly realized: "No wonder when we were walking the darts, we met a lot of Russians. These Russians were digging and measuring around with strange things."

"They are surveying the railway. The Russians have proposed to the imperial court several times to build a railway in the northeast of me to their Vladivostok. I am afraid that once this railway is built, there will be troubles again." Wei Jichen took a sip Tea, said worriedly.

"What do you mean, Shuai Wei?" Zhang Zuolin asked cautiously.

"Now there are a large number of pro-Russian officials in the imperial court. It is inconvenient for me to come forward. The Changfeng Escort Bureau is traveling all over the country. It should spread the Russians' sinister intentions everywhere, arouse the vigilance of the people, and then arouse the vigilance of the Northeast officials, which makes the court's wind direction change slightly. .” Wei Jichen said seriously.

Wei Jichen actually asked Zhang Zuolin to spread some news about how the Russians bullied the Chinese, and how the Russians were plotting to spread the news about the Northeast. Of course, there must be a real thing about this.

Then Wei Jichen could unite with Generals Shengjing, Heilongjiang, and Jilin to invite the imperial court to build railways, guns, mines, organize regiments, and immigrate outside the customs in Northeast China. The establishment of the governor's office of the three northeastern provinces to develop the Northeast happened ahead of schedule.

Heilongjiang General Yiketang'a and Jilin General Changshun are both well-informed and patriotic, otherwise they would not have asked to lead troops from Heilongjiang and Jilin to resist the Japanese.

Wei Jichen believed that they would not sit back and watch the area under their jurisdiction slowly fall into the hands of the Russians.

Zhang Zuolin didn't even think about it, so he agreed.

Wei Jichen said again: "Yuting, I kicked you out of the army, did you ever complain in your heart?"

"Subordinates dare not!" Zhang Zuolin replied hastily.

Wei Jichen glanced at him indifferently, and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you have some complaints. Like Wang Shizhen and the others, they have become quite high officials now, and you are just the head of a small bodyguard agency."

"My subordinates believe that the development of our Changfeng Escort Bureau will not be worse than them." Zhang Zuolin replied solemnly.

Wei Jichen smiled, and said solemnly: "It's best for you to think this way. Do you know why I established the Changfeng Escort Bureau? Ever since I fought with the Japanese, I have been thinking about why the Japanese are able to do so. Quickly invaded a large area of ​​our territory, and finally I found that one of them is very important, that is, to be familiar with the terrain and to collect intelligence in place, and the Changfeng Escort is the eyes and ears of my Ding Liao army. We must know the Liao army first, so, Yuting, you have a heavy responsibility."

This was Wei Jichen's first confession to him. After Zhang Zuolin heard this, he was really taken aback. He thought that Wei Jichen asked him to open this escort agency to make money, but he didn't expect the ultimate purpose to be this.

Then, Zhang Zuolin was ecstatic in his heart, and determined the eyes and ears of the Liao army. Isn't that the leader of the spies?

"Wei Shuai, the boy will definitely make the Changfeng Bodyguard Bureau flourish and spread all over the country." Zhang Zuolin said excitedly.

Wei Jichen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There just happened to be a batch of obsolete guns in the army. I scrapped a thousand of them and handed over the rest to the imperial court. You can transport the scrapped batch away next time. , remember, to develop with all your strength, don’t lose money quickly, and of course, don’t recruit dubious people.”

"Yes, Wei Shuai!" Zhang Zuolin was even happier.

In the Yellow Sea area.

The Russian fleet composed of three cruisers is slowly advancing through the waves. This is part of the Russian Far East Fleet. They took great pains to go all the way south from Vladivostok, pass through the Sea of ​​Japan, the Korean Strait, and then enter the Yellow Sea. Justice', urging the Japanese to return the land of Liaodong, China.

The real purpose is unknown to outsiders.

On the deck of the flagship Nakhimov, Captain Alek looked at the sea in the distance with a smile on his face.

The first mate looked at his relaxed face and couldn't help asking: "General, aren't you afraid of a surprise attack by the Japanese fleet? The reason we went south is because Japan doesn't care about the empire."

Alek sneered lightly, then shook his head and said: "The Japanese fleet? They are now under martial law in their Sea of ​​Japan waters, how dare they come here?"

"Then why do we still come here?" the first officer asked with a puzzled expression.

"The relationship between our country and Japan is tense now. It will be very dangerous for our warships to spend the winter in the Gulf of Japan. That's why we have to find a place to spend the winter in China." Alek said unhurriedly.

"But, General, didn't you just say that." The first officer was even more confused.

Alek said unhurriedly: "This is politics, and you will understand later."

The chief mate seemed to understand but not understand.

In the capital, Gui Ziliu, the foreman of the prime minister's yamen, was thin and pale, and looked sick and about to die soon.

"Your Majesty, the Russian Minister Cassini has just sent a note to the Prime Minister's Office, conveying the request of the Russian Navy Minister Terdov, saying that their Far East Fleet cannot spend the winter in the Gulf of Japan, and requests to berth in Jiaozhou Bay." The official of the Prime Minister's Office reported to Devil Six reports.

"Cough, cough, the German just left, and the Russian came again." Prince Gong stroked his chest with his hand, and felt less bored.

Guizi Liu has always believed that the great powers are a physical problem, while the domestic rebellion and turmoil are a confidant's problem, which can overthrow their Manchu rule. .

Not long ago, German Minister Shen Ke proposed to the Prime Minister's Office to give them a military port, but Prince Gong had already declined.

However, this time the Russian's request seemed reasonable, and there was no reason to refuse it. Prince Gong sighed.

"Where's Li Hongzhang?" Guiziliu wanted to find someone to talk to, so he thought of Li Hongzhang first.

The official replied: "My lord, Mr. Li is already on his way to Beijing, and he will arrive tomorrow."

"Hey, let's wait for a while and send a note to the Russian embassy, ​​saying that we will give them an answer in a few days." Prince Gong waved his hand and said helplessly.

"Yes!" The official backed away slowly.

There is a saying that it is easier to invite God than to send it away. Once the Russian fleet is anchored in Jiaozhou Bay, it will be extremely difficult to send it away. Unfortunately, the current situation cannot tolerate people. Prince Gong kept tapping his fingers on the table .
