The Travelers of the Heavens
Chapter 54
In the 19th year of Emperor Qianyou of the Great Zhou Empire (the eighth year of Emperor Guangxu's reign, 1882 AD), the"Yangtze River Bridge" project that had lasted for more than ten years was finally completed.
One of these two bridges is the"Jinling Yangtze River Bridge" and the other is the"Central China Yangtze River Bridge". The two bridges are extremely strong and cannot be destroyed unless they are destroyed by nuclear weapons.
Speaking of nuclear weapons, let me briefly mention that in this world, only Wang Yu has nuclear capabilities, because he took away all nuclear-related resources in the world a thousand years ago.
You will no longer see"Fat Man" and"Boy" in the future. I'm sorry to the M country, please just use conventional weapons to eat the Japanese little by little.
In the same year that the Yangtze River Bridge was completed, Wang Qi purchased two ironclad ships from Britain through Fisher. Unlike recruiting soldiers from the land of Kyushu and all nations, the soldiers of these two warships were recruited from the Rooster Land.
In order to train these people, Wang Qi hired British naval officers to serve as instructors. Build ships and train at the same time, without delaying either.
The two ironclad ships are of the same model, with a displacement of 8,200 tons. They are equipped with four British 305mm caliber main guns (arranged on the bow and stern centerline), and ten 152mm Armstrong frame guns as secondary guns. The speed is 15.8 knots.
Both ships were completed in 1886.
In June of the 31st year of Emperor Qianyou's reign in the Great Zhou Empire (the 20th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign, 1894 AD), the Qing-Japanese War broke out.
Different from the reality of passing through Chaoxian as a springboard, here the Japanese used Taiwan as a springboard, and they used the excuse of"Japanese merchants were killed by Taiwanese mountain people" to attack the Qing Dynasty.
In this war, the Qing court's army performed very poorly. They collapsed at the first touch or even without touching the ground.
By February 1895, the Beiyang Navy base Weihaiwei was occupied by the Japanese. The Qing court decided to seek peace with the Japanese.
With the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki between the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese, the Japanese received huge benefits, including 200 million taels of silver compensation and land in Taiwan and the three northeastern provinces.
This also directly led to the"interference and return of Liao Dynasty" incident by Germany, France and Goose. The three countries jointly pressured the Japanese to abandon the three eastern provinces.
In the thirty-third year of Qianyou (the twenty-second year of Guangxu's reign, 1896 AD),
Wang Qi declared war on behalf of the Great Zhou Empire against Germany, France, and Goose, on the grounds that the three countries had blatantly interfered in the ended Qing-Japanese War.
Naturally, the three countries of Germany, France and Goose would not give up just because of Wang Qi's declaration of war.
The two sides are about to start a war in the three eastern provinces. In order to support his son, Wang Yu sent five regiments from all over the world (three of which were newly formed troops) and a total of 1.2 million troops blocked the Qing-Russian border in the Far East. This huge army also clamored for war. They drink from the Volga River and urinate in the Rhine and Seine rivers. This is undoubtedly a huge insult to the three countries of Germany, France and Goose.
Since it takes time for Germany and France to mobilize their troops and they are too far away from the battlefield, the current stage of the battle can only rely on the Tsar's"grey animals" to attack the 1.2 million Kyushu soldiers blocked in the Far East.
This"gray animal" is a contemptuous term used by the Russian nobles for the lower-level soldiers.
Tsar Nicholas II issued a mobilization order, and half a million Russian troops marched to the Far East.
In October 1896, the two sides officially exchanged fire. Before the attack began, the Tsarist Russian army first made fire preparations, but as soon as they opened fire, they were immediately counterattacked by the Kyushu artillery. The intensive artillery fire destroyed the Tsarist Russian army's artillery positions and killed many gunners.
The Tsarist Russian soldiers could only attack the Kyushu soldiers' defense line without fire cover.
The dense charge formation of Tsarist Russian soldiers gave the Kyushu Army's new machine gun an opportunity to perform. This new machine gun, which was only officially equipped in 1892, is similar in appearance to the actual Civilian Type 24, but its rate of fire can reach 1,100 per minute. Due to the use of new materials, the life of the barrel will not be shortened as the rate of fire increases.
Hundreds of machine guns fired back and forth at the attacking Tsarist Russian soldiers, causing them heavy casualties.
In just two-quarters of an hour, more than 20,000 Russian soldiers were killed or injured in this rain-like barrage.
After hearing the news, Lieutenant General Kuropatkin, the commander of the Russian army, immediately ordered a halt to the attack.
Several subsequent large-scale attacks ended in failure for Tsarist Russia. The Russian army suffered heavy casualties and the war entered a stalemate. The menacing Russian army was blocked in the Far East and unable to enter the Northeast.
In March of the thirty-fourth year of Qianyou (the twenty-third year of Guangxu's reign, 1897 AD). German and French troops were gradually put in place, but at this time Britain was afraid that the situation would continue to deteriorate, so it intervened to mediate.
In May of the same year, the four parties signed an armistice agreement in Changchun, which was the"Four-Nation Changchun Armistice Peace Treaty". The peace treaty stipulated that armed personnel from France, Germany, and Goose were not allowed to enter the Northeast. Since the Northeast has been ceded to the Japanese, the future development of the Northeast will be controlled by the Japanese. Decision, no one else can interfere.
After the armistice, Qi Meng signed a secret treaty with the Japanese state on Wang Yu's order, stipulating that the two countries should jointly develop and occupy the northeastern region.
This also kicked off the Zhou Empire's management of the Northeast.
Time has come to 1900 unknowingly. The turn of the century is destined to be unrest. Queen Victoria of Britain is seriously ill and may die soon.
In Rooster Land, the rise of the Boxer Movement pushed the Qing court to the forefront. These boxers used the slogan"Support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreign countries" to hunt and kill foreigners. For a while, there was a tremor in the north of the Yangtze River. Various countries protested to the Qing court one after another.
But the Andong Protectorate in the south is peaceful. There are almost no boxers south of the Yangtze River. The foreigners living here are much safer than their counterparts in the north.
In Dongjiaominxiang of the capital, there is the overseas office of the Great Zhou Empire, and there are two battalions of Jiuzhou soldiers protection offices.
Dongjiao Minxiang was originally relatively safe, but as the Queen Mother of the West declared war on the Eleven-Nation Allied Forces, the Boxers and the Qing Army began to attack Dongjiao Minxiang in a large scale.
Two hundred thousand Boxers and Qing troops surrounded the impenetrable Dongjiao Minxiang and attacked day and night. Although the two battalions of Kyushu soldiers had strong firepower, the disparity in numbers between the two sides was too great, reaching 100:1. The situation is becoming more and more critical.
In order to rescue his men in the capital, Wang Qi, who was far away in Jinling, immediately declared war on the Qing court and began to attack Ningbo, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and the wealthy areas around the two lakes. As a result, the unformed"Southeast Mutual Protection" was aborted in advance.
At the same time, Wang Qi asked his father for help.
Soon, Wang Yu personally led a total of 800,000 troops from the 8th, 9th and 11th Corps of the Kyushu Army to Jinling through the space-time tunnel.
"Father, my sons and ministers see you, father." In the De'an Palace, when he saw Wang Yu pushing the door open and coming in, Wang Qi quickly stood up and bowed in greeting.
""Yeah." Wang Yu nodded and sat down.
""Father" Laoba Wangduo also bowed in greeting.
"Come in." Then Wang Yu shouted.
Three corps commanders came in from outside. Wang Qi and Wang Duo took a closer look and saw that they were all members of their own family.
The commander of the eighth corps was Wang Zheng, and he was Wang Yu and Di The fourth son born to the empress, the sixth in the eldest rank.
The commander of the Ninth Corps is Wang Mn, the sixth son born to Wang Yu and the empress, the ninth in the eldest rank. The commander of the Eleventh Corps is I need to introduce her carefully. She is a woman. She is wearing a flowing red skirt and a light khaki lapel short jacket. She is wearing a boat cap with rows of rows on it. Four silver stars, the same type of silver stars were pinned to both shoulders, and a pistol was hung on the girdle.
A pair of red gold snake-patterned hats temporarily replaced the original boots, and this woman actually wore an ultra-thin pair Skin-colored"autumn trousers" with snake-print jacquard
"What are you looking at?" The woman took off her sunglasses and asked Wang Qi and Wang Duo with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
"Forehead.."No, no, we didn't expect that my aunt would come to support me, which makes us feel very honored," Wang Qi quickly explained.
Yes, the commander of the 11th Corps is our sister Chi Lian. She made a new one based on her original dress. Mix and match style, and even change into a pair of high-end clothes, which is really at the forefront of fashion.
