Republic of China: Our great warlord has many children and many blessings

When Zhang Zuolin learned that Yuan Shikai had asked Duan Zhigui to come to Fengtian as a general, he was furious.

After finally driving away Zhang Xiluan, another Duan Zhigui was welcomed.

Although Zhang Zuolin was not a direct descendant of Yuan Shikai, he just submitted to Yuan Shikai.

But Yuan Shikai had natural advantages as he was in the capital.

Another point is that it is not only Zhang Zuolin who is eyeing the position of General Fengtian, but also his sworn brother Feng Delin.

Therefore, Zhang Zuolin did not dare to make any big moves. If Yuan Shikai made Feng Delin the general of Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin would have a headache.

Compared to Feng Delin, Zhang Zuolin would rather let Zhang Xiluan and Duan Zhigui be the Fengtian generals.

Neither man had an army of his own in hand.

Being a general does not pose much threat to Zhang Zuolin.

But Feng Delin has a division, and becoming a general poses a great threat to him.

But with Feng Delin's mind, Zhang Zuolin didn't take it seriously yet.

Besides, Zhang Zuolin is not fighting"One One Three" alone now, there is also Shen Hao standing behind him.

In desperation, Zhang Zuolin had to ask Shen Hao for help and let him think of a solution.

After reading Zhang Zuolin's telegram asking for help, Shen Hao also replied with a telegram, just telling him not to be anxious, just to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity.

Although Zhang Zuolin was not very satisfied with this answer, he could only accept it.

After all, his current supporter is Shen Hao.

As long as Shen Hao doesn't fall, no one, Zhang Zuolin, will dare to have a bad idea against him.

Soon, Shen Hao took over Fujian, and his influence continued to spread.

Nowadays, Shen Hao controls the four provinces of Wanwan, Eastern Guangdong, Western Guangxi, and Fujian. The other warlords can only be jealous to death, but there is nothing they can do.

If these warlords knew that Shen Hao still controlled Sichuan, they would feel sour in their hearts.

It can be said that the three southernmost provinces have been completely captured.

At the same time, Shen Hao prepared to recruit another hundred thousand soldiers.

The troop strength, not counting Wanwan, must reach 500,000.

Nowadays, the territory controlled is getting larger and larger, and manpower seems to be insufficient.

In addition, the Japanese cabinet was very angry because of the robbery of the Bank of Japan.

But he could only protest without taking any action.

Japan also knows that the army is useless against Shen Hao.

The Japanese navy has about five fleets. It lost two fleets at once. It can be said that its strength has been greatly reduced. Nowadays, there are not as many submarines as Shen Hao, and the battleships are also about the same.

Therefore, Japan's biggest idea now is to wait for the super-dreadnought battleship to be launched.

Cleaning up, cleaning up Shen Hao.

This time Yuan Shikai won Sichuan, and it was Japan that supported him. Unfortunately, he did not expect that Shen Hao would react so quickly and directly win Fujian.

This made Japan's jealous eyes turn red.

Unfortunately, even if we want to start a war, we are not sure of victory.

If it fails this time, the Japanese Navy will be useless.

Over the years, the wealth that Japan has finally accumulated is almost gone.

Another one learned that Shen Hao had purchased another super-dreadnought battleship from the United States, which put a lot of pressure on them.

Therefore, he protested to the United States.

However, the American attitude respects the business spirit.

In addition, there is no legal requirement not to sell it.

Negotiations failed, but the United States asked Japan to purchase an American super-dreadnought battleship at the same price.

The Japanese cabinet also wanted to buy it, but its financial resources did not allow it.

Our own shipyard has now built two super-dreadnought battleships, with huge investment, but they have not been launched yet.

After purchasing a battleship, other domestic government departments will have to tighten their belts.

Moreover, the two defeats not only caused heavy losses, but also the Japanese soldiers who died needed pensions, which was another huge amount of money.

At the same time, there are still negotiations with Shen Hao to trade the 60,000 prisoners.

These all cost money.

Time passed quickly, and by mid-July, Yuan Shikai's compromise allowed Zhang Yi, the garrison envoy in Chongqing, to become a general in Fujian.

It can be said that it has taken a big step directly.

But Li Yunlong, who had meritorious service, did not receive any reward.

However, Shen Hao privately agreed that after taking over Jiangxi, this place would be under the jurisdiction of Li Yunlong.

According to common sense, Shen Hao had no intention of letting Zhang Yi become a Fujian general.

However, when Yuan Shikai attacked Zhang Yi, Shen Hao had to fight back. Only when Zhang Yi became a Fujian general could he slap Yuan Shikai in the face better.

Of course, Li Yunlong and others were summoned by Shen Hao, and they were extremely loyal to Shen Hao and would not care about this.

They want to lead troops to fight more. As for the matter of protecting a province, they really don't have much interest.

However, just when Shen Hao was preparing to plan Jiangxi, Japan started the second round of negotiations.

Japan had two purposes this time. One was to sign an armistice agreement, and the other was about 60,000 prisoners.

On Shen Hao's side, the negotiator was sent by Zhao Gang.

This time, Japanese Minister Hioki Masuo was not as arrogant as before.

But very polite

"Mr. Zhao, we in Japan are negotiating with great sincerity this time. We can talk to you on any terms you have.

We only hope that you will withdraw from Wanwan and return it to us." (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Before Hioki Yoshi could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhao Gang0......

"If Japan still has this attitude, then stop talking, it’s just a waste of time." Zhao Gang snorted coldly.

Seeing this, Hikihi was afraid of making things too tense, so he hurriedly said:"Of course, you can put forward any demands you have."

Zhao Gang said:"If we want to negotiate, we must first compensate us for our losses of 100 million oceans, and at the same time exchange Qingdao for 60,000 prisoners of war." Hioki stood up angrily.

He said angrily:"This is impossible, it is simply a fantasy."

Zhao Gang He sneered and said,"Are you trying to say this to save face?

When you signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, didn’t you think that the Arabian Nights were like a lion with its mouth wide open?

What I want is not much. This is our bottom line. If you can't accept it, then don't talk."

Hioki said:"Mr. Zhao, please respect basic diplomatic etiquette. I represent Japan this time, not in peace talks. You are kidding.

I hope you can respect it.

Don't suggest the impossible.

Moreover, when your army commander Li Yunlong attacked Fujian, he killed many Japanese people and robbed our banks.

These all need to be compensated."

Zhao Gang said expressionlessly:"Why didn't I know about this? It seems that Li Houji, the former Fujian Guard Army envoy, robbed the bank and killed the Japanese.

What does it have to do with us"

"Mr. Zhao, we all have evidence.

As long as you give Wanwan back to us, everything will be fine"

"Mr. Hikihi, if you keep this attitude, there will be no need to talk. We will see the real deal.

Starting from 2.3, let’s compete at sea."

Hizuki Yi twitched the corner of his mouth and said angrily:"It seems that you are not sincere.

Do you really want to win every battle, do you really think that after winning two battles, our Empire of Japan will be afraid of you?

We still have three fleets, which are fully capable of fighting again."

Zhao Gang said disdainfully:"Oh, really? Then continue fighting, we are not afraid."

Hizhiyi dared not agree. He took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart and said,"I want to see President Shen, and I want to talk to him in person."

Zhao Gang said,"Don't think about it when you meet the President. He has no time. Our bottom line is to compensate 100 million oceans and exchange Qingdao for 60,000 prisoners. There is no need to talk about anything else."

Hikiyi's face was gloomy and uncertain. If looks could kill, Zhao Gang would have died ten thousand times.

Hikiyi said:"I wonder what President Shen is busy with. Is it more important than negotiating with Japan?"

Zhao Gang said with a smile:"Oh, nothing, he is busy getting a wife."
