At this moment, the Qing Dynasty was not the only one of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway. There is also a railway in the south that is being built in full swing, that is, the railway from Shanghai to Jiangning.

This railway started to be built opposite Shanghai and Nanjing, and passed more than a dozen railway stations along the way, including Dantu, Danyang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, Kunshan, Shanghai, etc.

Now this railway is only more than 300 kilometers away from Wuxi, and the workers are still fighting, but according to the plan, the railway must be opened to traffic by the end of the year.

The navy can control the sea and the river, but deeper inland requires the strength of the army. Since Xiang Ying settled in Shanghai, the Huangpu River has ships full of troops transporting troops, and thousands of Chinese soldiers boarded the train from Shanghai and drove to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River.

Shanghainese are now very open. The streets are filled with Chinese soldiers wearing grass-green military uniforms. The brand new leather boots are polished shiny, the patent leather hat is shining with stars, and the back is a backpack like tofu blocks. The rifle is the latest Mauser.

The armed straps were tied tightly, and a dirt dragon was marching on the street. The neat trampling of leather boots shocked the floating soil of the beams of the houses in the people's houses.

"One, two, one, two, three, four..." The slogans came one after another, and there were also sporadic gunshots of prisoners being shot by the Huangpu River.

Shanghai! A land of ten miles of foreign land, a place of bright lights and wine. This gentle land suddenly changed the world with a irritating wind, and the whole of Shanghai was in vain.

The foreign devils also learned the old ways of the Chinese, nailing wood in their embassy and setting up high observation decks. The military officers climbed up to see the chaos in the alleys and alleys in Shanghai, and couldn't help but frown.

These Western colonists used photos and sketches to record the scene in front of them. They took advantage of the night to bring the information here to the sea. Every day, the telegraph machines in the embassy area did not rest for 24 hours, sending everything that happened in Jiangnan back to the country.

Of course Xiang Ying knew what they were doing, but now he didn't have time to deal with these foreigners. The resolution to increase troops in Jiangnan was finally passed by the Grand Parliament. He didn't use his power until he was old and waited for anything!

The Shanghai Railway Station trains were requisitioned by the military, all civilian trains were suspended, and trains of soldiers began to scatter all over the south of the Yangtze River.

Xiang Ying was not afraid of triggering protests from the Qing Dynasty. All of this was planned. The treaty signed with Emperor Tongzhi originally included the Chinese military forces to protect industrial zones and railways.

Now that the Qing Dynasty civil war has fallen, the capital has fallen, and Emperor Tongzhi cannot control the domestic situation, so the Chinese have reason to increase their troops!

"Tell those foreign devils and local officials from the Qing Dynasty! We Chinese people act in accordance with the treaty and increase troops to protect our own industrial zones and invest in railways. What's wrong with it?"

"All their protests were dismissed!"

The Shanghai Chinese Central Bank building temporarily became Xiang Ying's command center. At this time, his side was filled with telegrams. The secretary was classified according to the importance, and Xiang Ying had to make the fastest decision.

"General! Lin Zhen has passed the Jiangyin Fortress. After unloading the supplies, he continues to go up along the river and heads to Nanjing. You should be able to arrive in Nanjing on the fifth day!"

"General! Jiangning Governor's Office sent a protest telegram... saying that we have too many troops in the Jiangyin Fortress and have violated the treaty!"

Xiang Ying put down the pen in his hand and looked up and smiled, "What is Jiushou doing? I sent him a telegram when I sent troops, everything was within the treaty... Jiangyin Fortress stationed 600 troops during peacetime, but now it is a war period!"

"Who made him unable to control the place? For more than a month, the Japanese Sixth Guardians are making trouble everywhere in Jiangnan. We can't help but not control it!"

"Call back to Jiushu. Our army has been friendly for a long time! No military action of our army will harm the interests of your army. Aren't we not claiming sovereignty of these lands? Then what are we afraid of!"

"Just reply like this, no need to change a word..."

After completing the telegram to Jiangning, the secretary dared not read the remaining telegram. He quickly handed it to Xiang Ying. When he opened it, he found that it was a rebuke message jointly by the four Chinese kings.

Luo Huo, Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, and Wang Huaiyuan jointly scolded Xiang Ying!

"Bad bastard! The Grand Parliament authorized you to increase troops to protect the Jiangnan Industrial Zone. This is strictly followed the rules of the Concession Treaty. Who made you make a big fuss?"

"The Navy authorized you to use battleships for a limited time. Have you all the fucking seven King Kongs pulled up? Let's leave a Taishan ship being debugged in the home port?"

"Dog thing, if the Taishan ship was not running in and debugging, would you have to pull all the eight King Kongs up and scare the Qing Dynasty?"

"Now the protest message from foreign devils has filled the Chinese Foreign Ministry, saying that you have blocked their embassy. How do you explain?"

"Finally, I asked you... Are you so bold? Do you dare to call out Zhiyuan?"

"The Zhiyuan is the only warship that can permanently display the flag of residual blood... After the end of the Franco-Prussian War, the Grand Parliament had authorized it unanimously..."

"Any military operation against the Zhiyuan will be regarded as a declaration of war!"

"Don't we know what the hell are you fighting? You're going to get fire and then use the excuse of firing and counterattacking? Do you really want to occupy Jiangnan in a military manner?"

"Send back both the Zhiyuan and the battleship... Are you no longer defending in your hometown? Are you no longer defending in your hometown?"

"asshole!"

Xiang Ying stood up unconsciously after reading the beginning, holding the telegram in both hands. He could feel the spitting out of the telegram, making him look embarrassed!

After reading the last bastard, Xiang Ying smiled awkwardly and said, "This man is so old! It's not easy to cheat!"

The secretary said with a bitter face, "General! Are you too impulsive... What the kings are saying is right! The eight Vajras bring up seven ships... The Ryukyu Islands and Nanyang also have to defend!"

"You don't understand... The British warships have not been dispatched yet and are gathering... There is still time!"

"It's this Zhiyuan number that needs to be sent back... Several old men were angry and were born here..."

The secretary sent another telegram with a bitter face: "General! Stop talking, the King of Far East has sent you electricity... Take a look!"

Xiang Ying opened it and saw a line of words on it, "Send Zhiyuan and the battleship back to the home port, and it is enough to shock Jiangnan with heavy patrol!"

Xiang Ying is not afraid of his uncle's words of scolding, but he is afraid of his uncle's words of less words, without beginning or ending, and without a single nonsense, which means that his uncle is really angry.

"Oh..." Xiang Ying sighed, "It seems that it is impossible not to withdraw... Notify Lin Zhen that after the battleship arrives in Jiangning, don't continue to move forward, show off your might and then withdraw, and the cruiser continues to cruise the three towns of Wuhan, and try to move forward..."

The secretary gave him a sigh, "Ah... Fortunately, it's okay... Shanghai's business community is also anxious. Our battleship is parked in the Huangpu River, and the private cargo ships cannot leave, and the cargo transportation volume has dropped sharply..."

"Now the business community is about to laugh..."
