Xie Zhangtai heard that Yang Rui said that the British acting minister was here to make fun of it, but he thought about it. The Bohai Sea was blocked, Anton was occupied, and Taiwan was taken away. In addition to a large navy, the Japanese played fewer and fewer cards. The navy may not be able to gain any benefits from the nearshore. If it really doesn't work, the submarine's strategy of blocking Japan's coastal areas might really be staged.

"When did the Fuxing Army advance to North Korea?" Xie Zhangtai thought about it for a while and asked. "What should the Japanese army in Gyeonggi do?"

"The bloody battle began at dawn. The 7th Army had just occupied Andong at noon. Although the Yalu River Bridge was blown up by the retreating Japanese, it was not completely blown up. A few troops could still cross the river and pursue it. Now the main task of the Northeast War Zone is to encircle and annihilate the remaining Japanese troops on the Dagushan, Phoenix and Motianling. After these Japanese troops of several divisions were eaten, they could steadily advance eastward. I want to see how many troops Japan can still use to defend North Korea." Yang Rui smiled. "The Japanese on the Gyeonggi side are smart. They know to retreat to defend and wait for aid and do not waste ammunition at will, so they can live for a while."

The battle to defend the capital was gone again, which really disappointed Yang Rui. One situation in the plan formulated by the General Staff was that the Japanese army in the capital attacked in full swing, and then was slaughtered by the defenders' mortars and machine guns. When they were unable to attack and the Northeast reinforcements were called back, the Lei Yizhen Town 2↖ could drive them into the sea with an ancient brain.

Xie Zhangtai could see Yang Rui's spirit. This man in his thirties was full of confidence and whispering. The energy contained in his eyes could knock down all evil enemies. Thinking of the meeting in Shanghai eight years ago, and thinking of today's China, his heart suddenly surging and could not be himself. He stood up uncontrollably and bowed deeply to Yang Rui. Then he said, "It's really a blessing for the country and the nation with you!"

Xie Zhangtai's straightforward flattery made Yang Rui feel excited. But he never liked the people below to flatter him, so he could only endure it. Because his face was half smiling, half pretending to be serious, and he was very distorted. After his mood calmed down, he gave a bow and said in a very distorted manner: "That's the emperor's wise and powerful martial arts. We are just asking His Majesty to be kind."

When Yang Rui said this, Xie Zhangtai suddenly laughed. The propaganda of the Ministry of Rites to the grassroots level is not a national righteousness or patriotism. It is completely the old-fashioned way of serving the country. This set of things has been passed down for thousands of years and has been exaggerated for thousands of years, and its appeal is not ordinary. For this reason, the Prime Minister's Office does not appear in words like "Emperor, Your Majesty", which is simply to meet the situation.

"Haha! Yes. Yes. This battle is completely because the emperor is wise and magical. We little officials are all entrusted to His Majesty with a loving kindness." Xie Zhangtai said as he smiled. He remembered that he still opposed the creation of a King of Min at that time, but now he saw that the soldiers of the Fuxing Army, especially the new recruits, kowtowed in front of the Ming Gate when they entered the inner city. Then he walked onto the battlefield without hesitation and had all the enemies with the enemy. Only then did he realize that for this ancient nation, one must have a loyal object in his heart to be complete. Without this object, they would be numb and at a loss, and with this loyal object. That would be a strong and braver battle.

"What will Confucianism do?" Confucianism was completely rejected within the Revival Society. But now the Ministry of Rites seems to be promoting the Confucian theory of loyalty and righteousness, so Xie Zhangtai asked once.

"We can only start with education." Yang Rui was also very upset about this. But for victory, he couldn't care about it. "There are many things we want to do, and it is also correct. However, if China's self-sufficient rural economy does not change, any aggressive thinking will bring about national instability. I think after two or three generations, the situation will be different."

"Two or three generations?" It was such a distant thing. Xie Zhangtai thought that he was probably buried at that time. He was always optimistic and didn't want to think about what happened behind him. He said immediately: "I won't talk about this. I haven't been together for a long time, so why don't I go to your house to have a few drinks at the end of this month."

As soon as Xie Zhangtai said, Yang Rui's face turned dark and said, "You go find Uncle Mei. Song Jiaoren is here, and he is very busy." After that, he turned to the side hall, which made Xie Zhangtai very puzzled.

In fact, Song Jiaoren is the only opposition leader in parliament. He did not agree before the war against Japan began, but he did not drag him down even if he really started the war. It was just that the British proposed peace talks earlier that he supported it, but Yang Rui opposed it. Now the overall situation of the Fuxing Army has been decided, and he is here to persuade Yang Rui to keep people.

"Brother Jingcheng, I said in private, how will the war against Japan end? If I really take over North Korea?" Song Jiaoren had a very kind private chat, but his topic was not surprising to Yang Rui.

"There is this plan. Japan said twenty years ago that it was for North Korea, ten years ago that it said it would expel white people, and four years ago that it annexed North Korea. If the Revival Army really wanted to enter North Korea, the people would eat a pot of slurry to welcome the king's army." Yang Rui said. He looked at Song Jiaoren with a smile, wanting to know where his butt was.

"If this is the case, the Sino-Japanese hatred will be difficult to resolve." Song Jiaoren said worriedly.

"North Korea was occupied by Japan at that time, and almost swallowed Liaodong in the Sino-Japanese War. Later, China and Japan were also very friendly. Didn't you all go to Japan to study at that time?" Yang Rui looked at Song Jiaoren's thoughtful expression and couldn't guess thoroughly.

"Although North Korea is a vassal of arms for our country, it is a confidant for Japan. Now we have started a war between Japan and Russia, so there must always be a primary and secondary. Either we resist Russia in a row or join forces with Russia to fight against Japan. Now the army heads north to Harbin and enters North Korea at the same time, which will offend both Japan and Russia to death." Although the situation of the war was a strange turn, the strategic pattern of the three countries in Northeast Asia, China, Japan and Russia has not changed. Song Jiaoren was just worried about creating two strong enemies in the Northeast. "Since we entered North Korea, we can actually stop at Pyongyang, which can leave some room for Japan. Isn't it beautiful for China and Japan to resist Russia together?"

"Haha. Dunchu, how did you become a parliamentary fan instead of becoming a clerk?" Yang Rui was amused by his last sentence, "If North Korea resolves this way, what will Taiwan do?"

"Taiwan? Taiwan can only be taken back." Song Jiaoren's tone shook. North Korea is someone else's land, and maybe division is feasible. But Taiwan is its own land, so division is impossible.

"Will China and Japan be friendly with this result?" Yang Rui smiled. "I'm afraid that after the European War, Japan will hope that Britain, France, Russia and the three countries will return to Taiwan. You just want to be friendly with China. When the Japanese started war with me, the whole people were happy. I heard that elementary school students even donated breakfast fees, and friendship was just your SLR wishful thinking. I know that many people now say that China should forgive others and forgive others. Taiwan should take it back. If North Korea also takes it, it will offend Japan to death. China and Japan should be friendly with each other and be kind to each other. In fact, this should be said to the soldiers who have died since the Sino-Japanese War, and see if they believe in China and Japan. "

Song Jiaoren could guess that Yang Rui would not cease to fight and negotiate peace, but Sino-Japanese relations were related to the future of this country. He still came. Now that he heard Yang Rui's refusal, he was not discouraged and insisted: "But those dead soldiers don't want China and Japan to fight endlessly."

"Dunchu, do you believe it? Even if North Korea does not occupy an inch of land, as long as it loses Taiwan, Japan will still be endlessly hostile to China and China. In the past few days, there are many people who are lobbying officials from various departments and shouting that China and Japan are friendly. But only you, Dunchu, dare to say this to me. I know you are kind-hearted, but don't forget that since we were defeated during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, we should do this as we lose this time. Could it be that China is more cheap than Japan and won't get any benefits even if we win the battle?" Yang Rui stood up angrily. Xie Zhangtai just said that he wanted to have two drinks at his mansion, and he was in a bad mood. Now seeing Song Jiaoren insisting on the so-called Sino-Japanese friendship, he was angry.

Song Jiaoren didn't know why Yang Rui was angry. He wanted to hold on again. Seeing that Yang Rui was determined to revive the army into the North, he had to be sincerely advised both Japan and Russia not to offend both, and then he said goodbye.

After Song Jiaoren left, Yang Rui became more and more bored in the side flower hall. After a while, he shouted: "Li Zilong!"

"Prime Minister, I'm here." Li Zilong was actually in the outside world and immediately came in when he heard this.

"What's wrong with Shenyang? Is there any news?" Yang Rui asked in a low voice. This was a family matter and he didn't want to be too arrogant.

"The nameless young master is at the prince's mansion, ma'am... The lady went to Xiuyan a few days ago, and should be in Anton now." Li Zilong also said softly. This is the Prime Minister's family affairs, and he is not easy to speak.

"Last time, did she say she would not come back?" Yang Rui never asked Cheng Xu directly about the news, but wanted to inquire about the side of the situation. It was precisely because of this that he knew not much as Li Zilong.

"Yes. The person who went to pick him up last time said that the wife said that the war would continue, and she would follow the army." Li Zilong said. The Russian army invaded the south. In order to calm the hearts of the people in Liaodong, the Prime Minister invited one and sent his wife's children to Shenyang. This move made the people of Shenyang who were thinking of leaving the city and entering the countryside excited the morale, but trouble also came. As the heroine who killed Cixi, she couldn't stay with me in Shenyang, so she took a sniper rifle to the battlefield. In addition, she also abducted Bai Ru, the wife of Chen Guangshou of the Ministry of Personnel.

"Oh, she was angry and didn't want to come back." Yang Rui sighed softly. When she came to this world, there were women who killed him, and there were women who saved him, but only this woman killed him. But it was this woman who killed him, who often did not stand on his side to support him, but instead betrayed him again and again. At that time, he just wanted to never see this woman, so he regarded it as if she had never met her before, but in the end she didn't leave. Now she was arranged by herself, and she didn't say she wanted to go back to Beijing, which made him worried about gains and losses.

There was rubble in Andong City, and the entire city wall was ground into powder under the bombardment of 150mm heavy artillery. Even if the broken bricks were cleaned up, the corpses of its own soldiers were only carried away. However, the Japanese corpses were still piled up like hills, including blue and black bricks, pale corpses, and red blood. These colors were intertwined, and only piles of flies were summoned under the scorching sun.

Knowing that the rescue of the Guard Division was dead, Masayoshi Nakachi had to send him, because he was dead if he didn't send him. The staff and senior officers couldn't get it back. So, in the pain, the Temple still sent the Reserve 1st Division and told the division commander to advance carefully to prevent the ambush of the Chinese army. Reinforcements were sent here, and the Japanese army on the Motianling line were ordered to retreat to shrink the defense line. If the matter was not good, the entire army would retreat into North Korea. If the Revival Army was not in the Guard Division, nor the 1st Division sent there, the real goal was Anton. If you occupy Anton, it would cut off the retreat route of the entire 1st and 3rd Army and also opened the door to North Korea.

On the night when the 1st Reserve Division left Andong, part of the 7th Army of the Fuxing Army sneaked to Andong and began to launch an offensive at dawn. At this time, Masahito of the Temple felt that the Chinese army wanted to occupy Andong to close the border gate. Although he had expected it, the time was wrong. He believed that after the Guard Division and the 1st Reserve Division, the Chinese army would seize Andong. By then, the three divisions on the northern line had retreated. But now the Chinese army ignored the Japanese army with two divisions behind him, and was determined to occupy Andong, which really hit his weakness.

After the Japanese army on the front line of Anton was drawn into the pass, there were only six divisions left. Four of these six divisions were against the Chinese army on the front line. The reserve team had only the 11th and the 1st Reserve Division. The 1st Reserve Division came out of Andong to assist the Guard Division, and only the 11th Division remained in Andong. Although the 1st, 3rd and 2nd Divisions in the north issued a retreat order, in order not to disturb the Chinese army, they all retreated in batches at night. Before the vanguard of these divisions retreated near Fenghuang, the cannons of the Chinese army outside Anton City came over. At this time, Masayoshi was facing another multiple-choice question, which was to order the 11th Division to defend to the death or retreat while fighting. The other five divisions were really going to be surrounded by the Chinese army. Although there was a way out, they were infamous. They were still defending the spot. They would definitely not be able to defend.

As expected by the General Staff, the attack on Andong would be a bloody battle. In order to increase firepower, not only several artillery regiments of the 7th Army were strengthened. All the self-propelled artillery that could be drawn in the Northeast War Zone were transferred. These hundreds of artillery began to bombard at dawn, and the charge was repelled and bombarded again. In this way, five times in a row, the entire Andong's city defense system was smashed. When the sixth attack into the city, the Fuxing Army suffered little resistance and the Japanese army was wiped out by the artillery.

"Xisshuang. The warrior Ye is here." The Chief of Staff of the Army Cao Zude pulled him over, regardless of Li Shutong who was busy.

"Ah, Ye..." Li Shutong was about to ask who it was, but when he saw Ye Yunbiao wearing strong outfits and holding his fists at him, he immediately rushed up, hugged him and shouted, "Brother Ye, why are you... you here?!"

Ye Yunbiao was Yang Rui's personal guard during the revolution and was the apprentice of Li Cunyi, the inventor of Qi Shaobao's bayonet technique. When Yang Rui was assassinated in Shanghai, he led the police out of the mountain and then was arrested and imprisoned. At that time, he was sentenced to ten years in prison, but he was released early because Yang Rui promised not to join the Allies and Sino-British relations eased. Eight years of prison life turned a young man into a young man, but the sharpness in Ye Yunbiao's eyes was still the same, but the waves were often softer than before.

"I don't know why I came out. I thought I had two years left." Ye Yunbiao looked at the star on Uncle Li's shoulder and was a little envious. I remember that he was just a team leader at the beginning.

"Hey, it's been eight years." Li Shutong recalled the time when his husband was assassinated and disappeared, and many of his classmates were very anxious. Some of them were preparing to search the guys and went south, but they were stopped by the elder Lei, the chief of staff, and Du Yaquan, the general manager of Tonghua City at that time. Fortunately, good news came from behind that of the husband's rescue. Li Shutong recalled the past for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he patted Ye Yunbiao's arm and said, "Brother Ye, why are you not in the capital... Oh, I understand. I understand."

Li Shutong grabbed his head and finally realized that Ye Yunbiao was sent by his husband to pick up his wife - Cheng Wu was going to the battlefield, and Qi Qingyuan couldn't stop him and stuffed him. Only he was facing a Japanese division, and the sniper battles in other places were extremely fierce.

"Brother Xishuang, you are still in a big battle, just tell me a place, I can just go find it myself." Ye Yunbiao did not get any news from Yang Rui in the capital, but after coming to Northeast China, he gradually understood the gap between the commander and his wife. He felt guilty towards his wife. If he hadn't protected him well, the gentleman would not have married a second wife.

"Actually, I don't know where the division wife is now." Li Shutong said distressedly. In order to seize Anton, the troops were in chaos. The troops were sent to the front line in front. Now the Japanese army on Phoenix are still counterattacking, hoping to open a passage to return east. Although the two divisions in Dagushan were surrounded by their own troops, they also meant to attack Anton north. "The sniper troops have always been able to write their own words... Adjutant! Adjutant!"

Li Shutong shouted loudly, and with his voice, a young officer ran over, and he immediately asked, "Can Zhou Kuai Le find someone? Where are his snipers?"

"Report to the commander, Commander Zhou and his men seemed to have gone to North Korea, saying that he wanted to tie the Japanese general back." Zhou Kuai Leshan was born in a beard. After joining the army, he could not teach tactics and strategy, so he finally had to let him show his beard nature and go to sniper. Over the years, he became the leader with his military achievements and qualifications. For the sake of security, Li Shutong assigned Cheng Liu and Bai Ru to his troops and asked for strict protection. Unexpectedly, he got out of trouble.

"Brother Xishuang, put clothes on me and then give me a gun. I will go to the court to find someone myself." Ye Yunbiao said.

Seeing Ye Yunbiao telling the truth, Li Shutong didn't say anything at the moment and asked the adjutant to lead him there.

Ye Yunbiao actually changed into a set of clothes. Ten years ago, he wore military uniforms, first with a camouflage uniform dyed in cotton cloth, and then with a Russian military uniform. However, now he has many things that he does not understand about the so-called individual equipment. Fortunately, Li Shutong's adjutant explained the functions of those things.

"This is a steel helmet, bulletproof cannot be prevented. But the Japanese like to use shrapnel balls the most. When this thing explodes in the air, countless pieces spread down. With a steel helmet, you can protect your head... This is a Bai Langlin Quli pistol, which can hit seven times in a row, and then change the magazine to become... This is a gas mask. If the Japanese can't win, they will release poison gas. If you have this, you won't be afraid." There are many adjutants, and now this is the new recruit from the military academy just now. They have been holding it in the headquarters before, but now they can accompany people to North Korea. I feel really laughed. After introducing these big items, the adjutant took out a white gadget and showed off, "This is something that ordinary people have never seen before. This is..."

Ye Yunbiao looked at him as if he saw him. He snatched the thing and opened the lid with a tingling sound. He turned the wheel and fired out the fire. After lit the cigarette in his mouth. He looked at the adjutant in front of him and said, "I know the lighter." Then he handed over another cigarette: "Is there one? What's your name? Who is it?"

"Report to the chief, Fu Zuoyi, a native of Ronghe, Shanxi." At this time, Fu Zuoyi was just a military intern under the age of twenty. Looking at Ye Yunbiao's background, he knew that he was a high-ranking official, and he didn't dare to take cigarettes, and his expression was very reserved.

"Shanxi, isn't Shanxi doing big construction? Is it possible for you to come out to join the army at home?" Ye Yunbiao tied up the belt around his waist, turned the Bai Langlin Qurut pistol in his hand for a few times and inserted it into the cowhide holster.

"Report to the commander, I have been thinking about joining the army since I was a child. Besides, the country is weak, soldiers should rise up and kill the enemy!" Fu Zuoyi shouted. He was actually a good man. Before he became righteous, he joined the Fuxing Association Youth League when he was in the Taiyuan Army Primary School, and then entered the Baoding Military Academy. Now he is assigned to the military internship before graduation.

"Ambition!" Ye Yunbiao said with a smile. Since he was released from prison, he felt that the people in this country were different from before. Everyone seemed to be much more energetic and walked a little faster. It seemed that everyone felt that they had a bright future. And everyone was full of hope for the court, and believed that this time they would definitely resist foreign humiliation and protect the country and the race.

"This time I went to North Korea not to fight a war, but to recruit people, and the people I look for are very important." Ye Yunbiao took a few sips and stened out the cigarette. He wanted to go out sooner.

"I know. The headquarters guard company will follow us." Although Fu Zuoyi didn't know who he was looking for this time, he could feel that the person in front of him was quite big, and the person he was looking for would have a bigger background.

"Ye Yunbiao nodded unintentionally. He was a little uncomfortable with Li Shutong's care of his wife. Now, when he heard that the guard company also followed him, he felt relieved. After all, the war was tense, and the generals only thought about the situation of the war, and it was impossible for him to only stare at one person.

When the sun was slightly west, Ye Yunbiao set out with the guard company, walked past the rubble-shaped Andong city wall, and went to the ferry next to the Andong train. Andong city was blown into pieces by artillery fire, but the railway station was deliberately avoided. After occupying Andong, Li Shutong didn't care about what the city was inside, and only asked the Yalu River Bridge and the railway station.

The 11th Division, which was guarding Andong, died in bloody battles under the attack of the superior firepower and superior forces of the Fuxing Army. In the end, only a small group of troops abandoned the city and fled. Because of the hasty walk, although the Yalu River Bridge was blown up, it was not completely blown up. Only a few strong beams broke and fell into the heart of the river, but the wall piers were still there.

Sitting on the ferry crossing the river and looking at the dense bridge repair workers on the river bridge, Ye Yunbiao asked, "Is this going to restore North Korea?"

"Of course, we have to restore Japan. As long as we are the former Chinese dependents, we have to restore it one by one!" We were about to cross the Yalu River border, and Fu Zuoyi was actually a little dancing, but the matter was embarrassing. In order to avoid the Japanese corpses in the river, the ship turned the boat violently. He fell into the river without standing firmly. (To be continued...)
