After wandering around the valley for a day, Yang Rui and his group finally arrived outside Yangmuchuan Town. That night, the people sent out earlier had informed Kuandian to send the telegraph plane, and there were various external news. At this time, the Americans had been missing for four days, and Liaodong was in a mess. In addition to repeatedly notifying the Qing court to find people, the US government also transferred nearly a thousand garrisons in Tianjin to Andong. Even the American squadron in the Philippines were already on the way to China. Under the strong coercion of the United States, the Qing Dynasty and Japan bit each other. The Qing Dynasty said that Anton was occupied by Japan, and that the US representatives had the responsibility for the disappearance of Japan. Japan said that those who were kidnapping the American people were horse thieves, and these were Qing people, and the responsibility was on the Qing country. The Qing Dynasty continued to fight back and said that even if the horse bandits were Chinese, they were hired by Japan, and their rebellion was very responsible for Japan...

Looking at such a colorful verbal battle, Yang Rui felt a bit like his own people, and he said, "Who gave the Qing Dynasty a tip?"

"Wang Xiaolin." Chen Guangshou smiled. "Without his advice, Prince Qing from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could come up with so many words."

Yang Rui laughed. At this time, the sentry outside suddenly started to ask questions. After asking, he suddenly said that it was Zhang Rong who came. When he sent the message, he asked someone to notify Zhang Rong that he had sent it. He thought he would come later, but because the person was lost in Liaodong, he also wanted to investigate together as a military official in Liaodong. Yesterday it was Andong who had just arrived. He heard that Yang Rui had come over all night without regard for his fatigue. He had previously suspected that thirty-six police officers were killed, but he didn't expect that it was Yang Rui himself.

When both sides met, they did not mention it. Yang Rui said: "I will give you a great wealth this time."

Zhang Rong was embarrassed when he heard this. He was fooling him when he met Yang Ruichu, and said, "What sir wants Zhang Rong to do is just tell me, Zhang Rong doesn't care whether he is rich or not."

Seeing that he said sincerely, Yang Rui smiled and said, "The Americans are here with me."

"What?!" Zhang Rong was shocked.

"To be precise, I should have saved it." Yang Rui said, "But I can't come forward to give it to others, so this character can only be handed over to you."

Zhang Rong listened to Yang Rui's words and thought. If everyone could not find the situation and was saved by himself, then... would the top on this head be replaced again?

"Sir, but what should I say? You can't say for no reason that I saved the Americans." Zhang Rong understood what Yang Rui meant, and was thinking about how to make up things without flaws.

"We also caught a lot of beards, and they are all very cooperative now. There is also a Japanese corpse. Although he is dead, he has a letter. A Japanese named Moyongjie wrote it. It is probably the order for this kidnapping. And these Americans will also cooperate with you." The fooling around overnight still had some effect. At least they were no longer wary of Yang Rui, and they kept talking to Yang Rui about the details of China's revolution. Americans always like to help some countries that they think are extremely backward. I don't know if they want to use this to reflect the value of life or something else.

"Okay, sir. I know how to do it. I will take those beards back and question them overnight." Zhang Rong said.

"No. The beards caught are divided into two groups. One is Li Fengchun and others from Dagushan. He has surrendered to us, so everyone wants to save some of them. The other is Jinshoushan in western Liaoning. He was ordered by the Japanese to do this kidnapping, and these people can be thrown out to deal with it." Yang Rui roughly thought up his plan and was about to take Li Fengchun and others away. Anyway, the power of the Revival Association will eventually expand to southern Liaoning. "In the end, these Americans are here. I want them to stay in the mountain for a few more days."

"Ah! How many more days?"

"Yes. The more violent the Americans make a fuss, the greater the resentment towards Japan when they know the truth. They will even use the excuse of stationing soldiers in Anton to ensure the interests of the United States, which will be beneficial to us."

"Sir, what should those Americans want to go back?" The person who spoke was Chen Guangshou. Although the Americans were very peaceful on that day, they were not bound. Those people might have escaped that night.

"Then scare them." Yang Rui said, "First say that if there is not enough escort soldiers, the Japanese will harm them, and it will take time to lose the soldiers; and the general's wound needs to be treated with magical herbs for a few days, otherwise they will be killed by tetanus." Yang Rui thought of a bad excuse. However, this reason was accepted by the Americans. Under the premise of the abundant supplies provided by Zhang Rong, they were very considerate of Yang Rui's difficulties. The two sides agreed on three days as the treatment time. After three days, they would be taken to Andong by Zhang Rong, the Qing court's official.

Three days are extremely long for many people, but for some people, such as the playful Alice and the revival club that is making public opinion arrangements, it will take a lot of time to send photos of Japanese Kiyoshikawa to Shanghai and Tianjin.

On the morning of the fourth day, Yang Rui and others walked towards Anton, and they escorted Zhang Rong's patrol battalion. For insurance, Kuandian's troops were all withdrawn. Yang Rui calculated deeply, but the Japanese were even more ruthless. When the team arrived outside Jiulian City, they were stopped by the Japanese. When they heard that it was the Americans who had found it, the officer leading the team asked Zhang Rong to hand over the Americans to the Japanese side. Zhang Rong was unwilling, and a large group of Japanese troops in Jiulian City surrounded Zhang Rong's hundreds of people on the spot.

More than 500 people were surrounded by one thousand people. Zhang Rong's men were completely weak. The soldiers of the patrol battalion who carried guns were also very afraid, but the officials rushed in front, and the soldiers were braver. Every man had blood, but what the soldiers at the bottom were most afraid of was that in order to protect themselves, Shangguan sold the soldiers below without any worries. Now the commander said that something happened and he was willing to make a fuss.

Zhang Rong stood at the front of the team and looked at the Japanese major in the lead team and said, "Please give way to your army and don't delay the official's handling of the matter."

"Baga." Seeing that he had many people, the master shouted fiercely in his erotic Chinese: "Americans, get back, Qing people."

"A good dog won't block the way! This is not your home, nor Japan. If you want to get out, you will get out!" Seeing that the other party was rude, Zhang Rong stopped being gentle and started to curse directly.

"Baga!" The master was so angry that he waved his hand to let the Japanese soldiers forward, and pulled out the command knife with a "choke". He pointed at Zhang Rong's nose and wanted to force him, but Zhang Rong had been in the guerrillas for a long time and learned a lot of temper. Not only did he not fear it, he thrust up, pulled the official robe, opened his chest and said, "Come on, here! If you have the affair, you can stab it here."

The commander took the lead in fighting hard, and the soldiers behind him also fought. Soon, the clothes on more than 500 people were torn, and they were naked against the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese master had only seen the timid Qing coolies, the Qing horse thief who regarded money as his life, and the Qing soldiers who ran away when they were scared. The Qing men who had seen the Qing men who dared to fight hard, saw more than 500 people naked, without any cowardice, and could not help but slacken.

"If there are too many people, bully people, right? This place is yours. My old Zhang family has been in Liaodong for hundreds of years. There is no road that cannot be allowed to go. We Chinese have been here for thousands of years, and no one has asked us to go back." Seeing that the Japanese were weak, Zhang Rong exerted vigorously. After saying to the Japanese, he turned to the soldiers and said, "Brothers, this Liaodong is our place. Today, we can live through the nine cities, but we can live through it! If you are afraid of death, get out quickly. If you are not afraid of death, just follow me."

After Zhang Rong finished speaking, he moved forward to Taidao. The master was unable to ride a tiger, and it was difficult to hold the Taidao and lift it. Zhang Rong took a few steps back. He didn't know the inside story of the Americans being tied up. He only received the instructions of the Americans, Saburo Okabe, that if the Americans were rescued, he must grasp it as soon as possible. The instructions were mastered, but how to grasp it, whether it was stolen from the Qing patrol battalion, but did not explain in detail. Seeing that the Qing people were pressing closer and closer, the master threw the Taidao, pulled out the pistol on his waist, and shot several times in a row at the sky.

As soon as the gun was shot, the master held the gun and said to Zhang Rong's forehead: "Back back!"

"Shoot!" Zhang Rong shouted.

"Back back!"

"shot!"

When the two of them were in a relationship, Chen Guangshou said anxiously: "Sir..."

"Don't worry, people are coming soon."

"Then there are still people?"

"There are so many people that you are going to die. Look, isn't that coming?" Yang Rui pointed to the dark crowd in the west and said with a smile.

The sudden crowd of people who came over were shocked by both sides. When the patrol battalion saw that it was their own people, they cheered at first, but they couldn't get happy after a while. It was not the Qing soldiers who came over, but a group of hard workers, carrying guns, but wooden sticks and wrenches. In fact, these were all workers who built the railway. When Yang Rui sent people to call him, Jiuliancheng was originally a railway. Although it had been completed, there were still thousands of workers in the material station. When the sent people looked for the manager, they shouted at the workers, "The Japanese bully Shandong people!" When everyone was angry and confused, they were brought over by the manager.

The crowds are always brave. When the uneasy crowd sees China and Japan, they are no longer afraid when they see that there are only a thousand Japanese people. They are no longer afraid. With a "boom", they surrounded the entire circle. A circle of people around them, and the lively people around them rushed forward. Looking at the crowds around and the hatred gaze, the Grandpa only felt that he was afraid he would explain the place today.

The situation seems to be more and more beneficial to me, but the possibility of meeting each other is getting bigger and bigger. General Corbyn said again: "Yang, I think I should still adjust the conflict between the two sides. I think this is just a misunderstanding."

"No, General, this is not a misunderstanding." Yang Rui shook his head and stopped him again. "When the Japanese attacked here last year, twenty 120mm caliber artillery and nearly a hundred 75mm cannons attacked the town indiscriminately. At that time, the Russians ran past. After the bombardment, the Japanese said they were liberators, helped the local people drive the Russians away, and asked them to pay tribute to food, supplies and other things. In the eyes of the local residents, they were invaders, like the Russians, and even more abominable invaders."

"Oh. God!" Faced with Yang Rui's words, General Corbin could only pray.

Just when Yang Rui was expecting to get out of trouble and was uneasy, the person who broke the situation finally came. A quick horse shouted: "After the order of Lord Zhang Xiluan from the East Road, all kinds of people will retreat immediately. Under the order of Lord Zhang Xiluan from the East Road, all kinds of people will retreat immediately."

The Japanese may not be afraid, but the government is always afraid. When the messenger shouted, the crowd surrounding them suddenly dispersed like a tide. Yang Rui looked at the dispersed crowd and shook his head. Although readers no longer believed in the court, the people still recognized the court. This was the last foundation for the Qing Dynasty to survive.

Shortly after the people dispersed, several official sedans flew over quickly. The official sedans were not eye-catching, and the army behind the official sedans were extremely eye-catching. General Corbin beside Yang Rui said happily: "Oh. God! It's the Marine."

Yang Rui had known that it was the Marine Corps, but he had nothing to be happy about. This was the Marine Corps of the Americans. He smiled and said, "Your Excellency General, you are finally safe."

Corbyn was full of excitement. He gave Yang Rui a hug and shouted, "Yang, thank you for your help. I hope to see you in New York."

"Yes. We will definitely meet." Yang Rui also smiled.

The two ladies also said goodbye to Yang Rui, while Alice suddenly rushed up regardless of etiquette. While hugging, she stuffed Yang Rui a small piece of paper and said in his ear: "Yang, I will miss you!"

Yang Rui was held by a foreign woman in front of many people, and she felt a little blushing, but soon Alice ran out. The Americans had already welcomed them into the team.

Yang Rui had nothing to do with the next itinerary. For safety, he took a specially arranged boat by the railway company and drove Andong overnight. In the sea breeze, looking at the city that was getting farther and farther away, Yang Rui felt very melancholy, Northeast, Northeast, and just left.

While Yang Rui was holding the railing and looking at the darkness, Chen Guangshou hurriedly ran up. He wanted to scream excitedly, but he was afraid that others would know, so he ran to Yang Rui and stopped. Then he blushed, "Sir! Sir! That Alice, yes..." Chen Guangshou did not lift it up in one breath, and he almost stopped when he said it.

Yang Rui looked at him and said, "She is the daughter of US President Roosevelt. Isn't she?"

After hearing this, Chen Guangshou looked at Yang Rui in a daze. He only felt that Yang Rui knew everything. Even he had just learned through Zhang Kun. This time in the United States' East Asia trip, War Minister Taft was the representative of the delegation on the surface, and Alice was President Roosevelt's private representative. After the delegation left Beijing, it turned out that he was going to North Korea, but the businessmen of the delegation were eager to see what the stuffing cake suddenly fell from the sky in Liaodong looked like, so he was on the way to North Korea. The delegation stopped in Anton halfway, but something big happened during this stop. Alice and his female companion disappeared. In order to protect Alice's safety, the delegation blocked the news externally, but was anxious inside. It was not until Alice was found that the news was released.

"Sir, how did you know?" Chen Guangshou still didn't understand the situation.

Yang Rui just laughed, and it was not easy to tell him the reason. In fact, when he said goodbye during the day, Yang Rui saw Alice's signature with Alice Lee Roosevelt saying something. When he thought of the attention of several other people to Alice, he probably guessed in his heart that he should be Roosevelt's relative, such as his niece, daughter, etc. He was a little excited when he thought of this, but reason told him that in the United States, relying on relationships, especially Alice's age group, the United States cannot make any real help to its own revolution, especially the "gentle of speaking and holding a big stick" teddy bear is not so easy to deal with. Alice can at most play a role in matching. As for the final result, it depends on the interests of those American bankers and politicians themselves.

"Okay. This matter is kept secret." Yang Rui said, "politics and human feelings are different, while the United States and China are different."

"Yes, sir." Chen Guangshou was poured half a basin of cold water by Yang Rui, and he was a little discouraged.

Seeing his weak look, Yang Rui said again, "If you have the ironwork, you need to be strong. If we have the strength, then there will always be someone who will support us, and even we can win the revolution by ourselves alone. It is unrealistic to always pray for foreign countries to help, that is, they will help in the end, and we will give a lot of things. We cannot lose our self-reliance."

The slower Yang Rui's words came, and in his faint words, he suddenly remembered Sun Wen's coming.

*

The night in China is the day in the United States.

Washington Pennsylvania Avenue, White House, Presidential Office.

Secretary of State Elihu Rut had just reported to the president about Alice's kidnapping in Far East. He looked at the president with a change in expression and felt whether he should leave so that the President could "quiet" for a while.

Just as Root was about to get up, Roosevelt said, "No, you should be here. You are here, so I can still have some sanity."

The president performed very abnormally. Alice was his first daughter, but she had a very unfortunate experience. Her mother died on the third day after birth, and Alice was handed over to his sister to raise by Roosevelt. This made the relationship between the father and daughter not very good. Of course, this was just the past. In fact, Roosevelt loved this daughter very much.

After a moment of silence, Roosevelt suddenly laughed. He said, "It seems that the Japanese are much more angry than we thought before."

Looking at the president's strange behavior, Rut was a little unnatural. He later said: "Yes. Although the Japanese ambassador has explained this matter, I still think they should not go to Japan after visiting North Korea. This is the security of Alice..."

"No. Elihu, no, Elihu. They should go." Roosevelt yelled, "This was planned before. We must get close to Japan, which we discussed before. In the Western Pacific, we do not have any naval base. When the Panama Canal was not built, it would be difficult for our fleet in the east to move to the west. Even with God's blessing, our navy will not be wiped out like the Russians, but our army cannot fight against the Japanese at all. We cannot fight against!"

Roosevelt waved his arms and pounded the oak table, emphasizing this view vigorously, and he continued, "When a war with the Japanese, we need the British fleet and the Prussian army, but we don't. Not only do we don't, we also have to ensure the security of the Philippines, it's really damn! We can only let the Japanese occupy North Korea and Manchuria. When they digest North Korea and Manchuria, the Philippines is at least safe..."

Roosevelt's speech was constantly roaming. He was using this method to vent his anger towards the Japanese. Of course, this is the only way to vent. In his understanding, the US Far East policy should actually be pro-Japanese as the center. This is based on his unique values ​​- the most troublesome countries in the world are often small and weak countries, and if these countries are controlled by the strong - such as the United States controls Cuba, then the entire international community will be peaceful. In other words, Roosevelt advocates strength and respects the strong. Japan's rapid transformation from a barbaric country to a civilized country made him extremely amazed, especially the sacrifice spirit of the Japanese army is not available to the US army. After the Russo-Japanese War, he even believed that the United States should learn a lot from Japan.

As for China, it is a typical backward country: ignorant, weak, conservative, autocratic, unwilling to accept advanced Western civilization... In his previous words: "Any small well-trained army can seize Beijing..." In the opposite country, although he does not want China to be divided, he does not want to have any special relationship with China, which will cause trouble to the United States. The biggest reason why the delegation visited China this time was the boycott of the US goods movement that began in June. Although he did not make concessions in the Chinese Exclusion Act, in order to appease China's emotions, he still had to express some kindness to China.

After about an hour, Roosevelt's nagging finally ended. Rut breathed a sigh of relief. He carefully wiped the saliva sprayed on his face with his handkerchief and asked, "So, Mr. President, I will call them back and let them continue the schedule before?"

"Yes. Let them go." The energetic Roosevelt finally felt a little tired. He felt that he almost sacrificed Alice for politics, which made him very uneasy.

Rut stood up and was about to leave the office and stopped again, asking, "But, how should we express our opinions on this kidnapping?"

"We don't need to express our opinions, we just need to issue a statement of mutual friendship with Japan. Tell the delegation members, including Alice, not to show unfriendliness to the Japanese when visiting Japan!" Roosevelt, who calmed down, reminded that he also dealt with the bad effects caused by the last Japanese assassin's diary.

Lu Te said, wanting to ask something, but he held back. Roosevelt understood his thoughts and said, "I will thank the Chinese, but I thank him in a private way."

"Yes, Mr. President." Rut said that, and quickly walked out. He hoped that after arriving in North Korea, everyone in the delegation would be safe.
Chapter completed!
