Opening the telegraph newspaper, Xiang Shaolong took a breath of air, "Ah! The situation has actually turned into this? Damn it, this is to cause trouble when the head of state is not in East Asia!"
The old farmer looked over in confusion and was so frightened that he actually read it out.
"On April 8th...the CIA in Gyeonggi Province suddenly received the report from Yixian County Magistrate Liu Bian. Liu argued that Prince Gong had rebelled...more than 100,000 troops had annexed Yixian County..."
"Man Shun, the eunuch in charge of the capital, has been persuaded to surrender. Prince Gong on the 9th is going to send a telegram to the whole country to announce the revolt... At this moment, the Forbidden City has no idea!"
"Manshun, Liu Bian, Elsu, Naduobao... a group of close associates of Emperor Tongzhi rebelled against the emperor collectively, and the situation in the Gyeonggi Province changed drastically!"
"This is a telegram from Sister Wu in Shengjing. The Qing Dynasty is about to end!"
"Damn it!" Xiang Shaolong punched the pine tree next to him. The thick red pine tree broke in the middle, frightening the workers in the distance.
"Jai Zi Liu is so vicious! He actually rebelled while the head of state was away in Asia! How did he do it? How come he still has so many followers after being imprisoned for so long?"
"Your Majesty underestimates the enemy! Emperor Tongzhi underestimates the enemy! How did he learn from the Führer? Don't you know how important the CIA is? He took power and didn't even establish an intelligence network?"
The old farmer frowned and lamented, "Your Majesty has no one in your hands! When I followed the commander, especially in his later years, the commander kept talking to me about the situation in the Qing Dynasty..."
"Your Majesty is too young and there are no talents around him! Guiziliu knew about seizing the heir when he was the prince during the Daoguang period, and began to train his close followers. Of course he has the strength..."
"Coupled with Emperor Tongzhi's radical reforms, many bannermen were indeed killed. These grievances made many bannermen defect to Guiziliu's side!"
"This is not a rebellion by the Japanese Six, this is a rebellion by the entire Eight Banners system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. They want to overthrow Emperor Tongzhi's New Deal and reverse the course of history!"
"Damn it! No matter how young Zai Chun is, he is still the disciple of the head of state. Keeping Zai Chun as the head of state is for strategic purposes. He cannot die in the hands of these bastards!"
"The Far East Kingdom is preparing for war! Level 1 combat preparation..." Before Mr. Long could finish speaking, the old farmer sighed, "Hey... you should discuss this matter again!"
"Urgent call... urgent call... urgent call from the CIA..." Another fast horse ran over while he was talking.
This time it was not the intelligence sent by Sister Wu from Shengjing, but a top-secret telegram with the private seal of the CIA’s Directorate. The old farmer did not dare to read this telegram and immediately retreated to avoid suspicion.
After the Far East King opened the telegram, his expression changed. The telegram was very simple and had only one meaning. It told the Far East King to stand still!
Wang Ju's attitude is very clear. Even if the Chinese mobilize troops, they cannot leave from the Far East! It is simply that water from afar cannot quench the thirst that is near.
The first point is that the Far East Kingdom does have an army with a total of 100,000 personnel, but only one-third of these 100,000 people are new-style troops, and the rest are traditional cavalry.
Nearly half of the soldiers don't have rifles, so they still fight with cold weapons. This kind of strength can only protect themselves but not go on expeditions!
Second point, even if you go on an expedition, where will you get arms supplies? Bullets, artillery shells, grain, medicine... modern warfare is all about logistics, and the Far East itself does not have the logistics capabilities to support a hundred thousand troops in combat.
Everything requires the support of the Chinese navy, and whether to support it or not depends on the vote of the Great Council! Nowadays, the situation is so turbulent that even the Wang Bureau cannot guarantee that the Far East Kingdom will receive more supplies.
Relying on the inventory in Vladivostok, Lord Long could only dispatch about 20,000 expeditionary troops, and the ammunition base could not last two battles. How could we fight this?
Third point: Should the expeditionary force take the sea route or the land route? If you take the sea route, you still need naval support ships, but it is still difficult to allocate them to you.
If you take the land route, it will be even more of a disservice. What will General Hunchun of the three eastern provinces think of your army taking advantage of the road? Can I let you pass?
They will be very afraid of our army and will send troops to monitor us. Originally Hunchun could send reinforcements to His Majesty Emperor Tongzhi, but as a result, if you do this, the number of reinforcements entering the customs will be reduced!
The fourth and most important point, Mr. Long, please think deeply! The head of state placed you in the Far East as an advance mission for the Chinese to expand their territory.
You have only one political mission, which is to protect the newly added Chinese territory of Baishan and Heishui, which covers millions of square kilometers!
It is sparsely populated and has no understanding of Han culture, so you need to take your time! This is your political mission. Once you deviate from this mission, there will be criticism in the Great Council!
The Xiang family is now in power. Your family is the first among the six nobles and eighteen nobles of the Chinese clan. Xiang Ying is also the head of the Chinese navy!
With such power, do you still want to go to the next level?
ah! Master Long's face turned pale with fright, "Wang Ju is indeed a true friend! At the critical moment, he can still tell the truth!"
Xiang Shaolong was so frightened that his bones were cold. Wang Huaiyuan was telling the truth. The Xiang family was too powerful now. There was a prince and a Chinese navy leader.
With such an identity, what else do you want to do? Privately mobilizing troops to intervene in the civil war between the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty in the capital?
Damn it, are you Mr. Long going to rebel? Can’t the Chinese support you?
It was April weather, and Mr. Long was a master of martial arts, but he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. In the end, he actually swallowed the telegraph newspaper in a few mouthfuls.
"We can't mix it up! We can't mix it up! Now I'd rather be scolded by the head of state in the end, than I can't mix it up...send a telegram to Xiang Ying!"
"Let's just say that I selected 200 of the best horses in the Far East and trained 100 extremely skilled cavalry...to...send to...the prince, and 50 kilograms of gold sand..."
"Let the prince keep it for fun..."
The old farmer was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask anything. Only then did Master Long turn around and hand over to him, "Brother Nong... I've prepared the steamboat. You'd better leave early!"
"Now we have one more task...Hurry up and catch up with the head of state and report the situation in the country to him!"
"Ah? For such a big matter, wouldn't Naha report it to the head of state?"
Xiang Shaolong smiled bitterly, shook his head but said nothing. Only the icy cold wind from the Far East blew along the red pine forests all over the mountains and plains.
The civil war in the Qing Dynasty was finally about to break out, but what was shocking was that it was the magistrate Liu Bian who first passed on the information. He left Yi County in advance and came into contact with the intelligence network of the CIA's Northern Bureau. Only then did Hua The clan learned the shocking news.
Weird, conspiracy, incredible! When Chun Shisanniang, the head of the Northern Bureau, heard the news brought by Liu Bian, her eyes darkened and she fainted.
The men rushed to the rescue, and when Chun Shisanniang woke up, she howled and cried bitterly!
"This is dereliction of duty! This is dereliction of duty! Wuwuwu... I have worked hard for so many years, and I have never made such a big mistake!"
"How should I explain to the head of state? How should I explain to the Chinese people... I'm sorry for you, head of state, I'm sorry for you, Director Wang..."
