The Republic of Heroes

Yakov's men and horses retreated faster than expected. After several encounters with Liang Yuchun's troops on the outskirts of the city, they retreated on their own initiative. Went clean within a week.

Petrov finally let go of his heart, and his city was saved, but his head hurt again when he remembered that there was a Chinese General Wu. Not worth mentioning, in the morning, after getting up to hear the news, there was another burst of cursing, but it was useless, it didn't help.

The contract was written in black and white. As a gentleman, and as the mayor of Vladivostok, he could not allow himself to break his promise. In fact, this also has some elements of self-comfort. Controlled by the squadron, he has lost control of his city.Since the main brigade Afanayev was annihilated, the strength of the former garrison division has been greatly reduced. Half a month ago, the Cossack cavalry regiment was sent to Khabarovsk for support, so Yakov took advantage of it. After the previous battle, the remaining The few troops lost their combat effectiveness.

He is now watching the day, looking forward to the early return of the Cossack cavalry regiment, otherwise, even if he regains control of Vladivostok from the Chinese, he will not be able to resist the invaders.But even so, he must get back what originally belonged to him as soon as possible. Not long ago, Nevsky was sent by him to negotiate with that cunning General Wu, and negotiate a result on returning control as soon as possible.

"Cunning Wu, he is a hungry wolf who can't be satisfied. Oh, my God, forgive your poor child." Petrov was very worried about the negotiation process and prayed to God for his salvation.

……

Looking at Nevsky in front of him, Wu Xiaoliang admired this bearded man very much from a personal emotional point of view, and even thought he would be a very good friend, but unfortunately, he has a different standpoint. Maybe he didn't have this opportunity, right?Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head.

Nevsky also looked at the Chinese general in front of him, but his expression was very nervous. He was not sure that the cunning General Wu would agree to Petrov's request.Seeing him shaking his head suddenly, he was anxious, and persuaded him: "General Wu, in the words of you Chinese, everyone is a person who keeps his promises and should keep his promises, so the general should follow the agreement. Return control to us as soon as possible."

The idiom quoted by the bearded man was not appropriate, Wu Xiaoliang smiled, understood that he had misunderstood himself, and said: "The Chinese have always been trustworthy, you can rest assured about this, Your Excellency the Baron, I guarantee by my reputation that within a month the Suidong Army will surely The control of Vladivostok was returned to your country. The reason why there was a one-month buffer period was because the Yakov gang had just retreated not long ago and the place was in trouble. Suidong Army has enough ability to protect itself, so the Suidong Army is really out of good intentions. Thirdly, I heard that your country’s Cossack cavalry regiment is rushing back at night, and I plan to wait for them to return to do the handover.”

What Wu Xiaoliang said was reasonable. Even though Nevsky refused in every possible way, he had no choice but to make further demands in due course: "Well, these three points are according to what General Wu said, but On behalf of Duke Petrov, I would like to make another request to you, please return the control of the port in advance." This is what Petrov is most worried about. If the port is not in his hands, it means that the lifeblood of the Far East Fleet is in the hands of the Chinese. This is too much. It's dangerous, and the port must be returned no matter what.

"The handover of the port is duty-bound, and it will be returned immediately after the Suidong Army has delineated the lease of the port. How about it, Your Excellency the Baron?"

Nevsky was at a loss for words, did he have a chance to say no?No.But he still didn't give up the negotiation easily, and stared into Wu Xiaoliang's eyes and asked: "General Wu, please give me a specific time and deadline, so that I can go back and reply to Lord Petrov."

"Ten days, within ten days, it will be returned."

Wu Xiaoliang thought over and over again and gave a definite answer. The first batch of supplies shipped from Fengtian could stop in Vladivostok within ten days, and there were also [-] immigrants who came with him. His grand plan would start from here.

Using the telegraph machine of the Vladivostok Telegraph Bureau, Wu Xiaoliang resumed contact with the Suidong Army a week ago. The battle situation was as he expected before. Beard, after several battles, he found that these bandits were vulnerable, but every time they were not defeated and dispersed, they surrounded them again. This was repeated. There were few soldiers in Suidong, and they could not send all their troops. In the end, the staff agreed that , as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke them, they will ignore them in order to save bullets.After a few days of bluffing like this, they all retreated suddenly and inexplicably, as if they were still in a panic, and their weapons and luggage were scattered all over the place.

Five days later, the fleet from China arrived in Vladivostok, and steamers ranging from hundreds of tons to thousands of tons drove into the port.Originally, it was impossible to prepare so well in just a few days, but when Sun Jiayu transported the immigrant workers, his idea was to ship by sea. When he set sail, he received the news that Wu Xiaoliang was in control of Vladivostok, so he urgently hired a group of Swire Shipping Company The steamer ship will ship the materials hoarded in Tianjin to Vladivostok together with it.

All kinds of steamships in the port were flying with flags and whistles, and the temporarily organized welcome crowd was all over the wharf. Soldiers of the Suidong Army put on brand-new military uniforms, and their guns were polished brightly. After the first steamship docked, Li Zejun gave an order, and the soldiers raised their guns together and fired six shots at the sky.

When the pedals were set on, a person stepped on the steamer first, wearing a black slender trench coat with a large lapel collar, a civilized hat, and black leather gloves holding on to the railing.

"Brother now has a lot of hands and eyes, and he can coordinate such a large fleet in just a few days." Wu Xiaoliang was very excited. As a sworn brother, he spared no effort to help himself.

"Second brother, don't come here unharmed, I miss my brother to death! My brother brought people and supplies today to support you in fighting for the country."

After Sun Jiayu finished speaking, he cupped his hands at the soldiers on the shore and shouted loudly: "Soldiers are hanging overseas alone. On behalf of Fengtian and the Tianjin business community, I would like to say hello to my brothers. Thank you for your hard work!"

The voice was not high, but it calmed down all the soldiers present. The Fourth Battalion of the Suidong Army was basically composed of Beijing student soldiers, and their patriotic enthusiasm was extremely high.
