On the territory of the Northeast, this is not like the big granary of the three Northeast provinces in later generations, but a slightly barren place. ↗, and because it is the land of Longxing of the Manchus, it has been very strictly controlled by the Manchus, almost not allowing too many Hans to enter here. This is the site left by the Manchu emperor, as a case of one day being able to retreat Northeast, and then to separate the regime. But later, because of the invasion of Tsarist Russian forces, in order to keep the Northeast, the Manchu Qing court opened the Northeast. However, it is only a few years before the ban is lifted, and the current population of Kanto is only a few million, so "sprinkling pepper noodles" in the three northeastern provinces is simply sparsely populated.

However, there are three very powerful people in the Northeast here, namely the Three Northeast Generals. The three generals in Northeast China are General Shengjing, General Heilongjiang, and General Jilin. These three generals are the highest in power in the Northeast. Unlike the generals in the pass, they are restrained by the local governor. And these three generals here can be said to be the real officials of the frontier, not a little bit more powerful than those in the customs who are subject to multiple restrictions. Almost here, they all say the same thing.

However, now these three generals are staying up all night here, they are all waiting in their respective telegraph rooms, and the three generals are busy sending telegrams here. The telegraph operator was almost as tired as a dead dog and had to take turns working together. However, the three Northeast generals did not choose to rest. They also kept urging them with telegrams, and then discussed with each other what to do next.

"Recently, the Russian Raksha people have sent a large army over. Their goal is obvious, that is, to occupy our Liaodong! But we have very few troops in Liaodong, and there are no civilians. How can we hold it? ?Our military strength here is only more than 10,000 people in Shengjing, and only a few thousand in Heilongjiang and Jilin. But we are facing hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves from the Russians. Although they are distributed to various places. According to the preliminary investigation so far In this situation, the Russians gave us 200,000 troops here, but they really think highly of us, the three generals of Liaodong!" General Jilin Chongshan complained.

However, Qing Sheng, who was temporarily acting as General Sheng Jing, looked at the telegram and then closed his eyes, apparently very speechless about the result. Qingsheng really didn't think about why he was so unlucky. The former General Shengjing had just left his post, and he was temporarily represented by himself, the servant of the Shengjing household department in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing and Ming dynasties were similar in that they both had two capitals. However, the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty were Beijing and Nanjing, while the Qing Dynasty was Beijing and Shengjing. Their functions were similar, and they all hoped to retreat when things could not be done.

But he had just acted as an agent for a while, so he had to face foreign aggression, which made him very speechless. He was a civil servant, not a military officer who charged into battle. So he didn't know what to do. What's more, he is just an agent, and he doesn't know what to do.

"Send a telegram and ask Heilongjiang General Shoushan to see what he can do!" Qingsheng said.

The so-called Shoushan was a bannerman of the Han army, and his ancestor was Yuan Chonghuan, a famous official of the Ming Dynasty. And Yuan Chonghuan has been very controversial until later generations. Some people even say that Yuan Chonghuan is a traitor of the Manchu Qing, and his descendants were incorporated into the Han Army Banner of the Manchu Qing. This also exacerbates the spread of this theory. But it doesn't matter so much here, and the important thing is that his descendant has become a general of Heilongjiang. He is one of the three generals in Northeast China, and his current attitude will determine the direction of the three Northeast provinces in the future.

Shoushan looked at the telegram, and then cursed: "What can I do? I have a lot of enthusiasm, but there is nothing I can do. There are only a few soldiers under my command, facing the 200,000 Russian army. We can How? The Russians have 200,000 troops, each of which has enough soldiers and food, how can we be opponents? When the time comes, the Northeast falls, so what shall we do?"

But that Chongshan saw the telegram. Immediately scolded: "At this time, you still have the heart to care about the Northeast. Our emperor and queen mother have been put under house arrest by that rebel Wang Guorui. Now, as long as that rebel Wang Guorui plays a trick of abdication, then our Qing Dynasty will be destroyed." It's over. At this time, let's not think about the Northeast. Let's think about how to rescue the Queen Mother and the Emperor. If the Queen Mother and the Emperor are forced to give way by the traitor Wang Guorui, what is the point of our Qing Dynasty? At that time, hold on Is it interesting to go to the Northeast?"

This Chongshan belonged to the royal family of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he was more concerned about whether Aixinjueluo could secure a stable position than whether the Northeast could be held. Now that Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi are under house arrest, if Wang Guorui wants to, he can come to a renunciation ceremony at any time, and just come directly to the city to change the king's flag. However, in order to maintain stability, Wang Guorui did not play this trick in such a hurry. But this is like a sword hanging over Manqing's head, which may fall at any time. The current Manqing is like the meat in front of Wang Guorui's eyes, he can eat it at any time.

Chongshan is already very anxious. If the Aixinjueluo family's family is over by then, is it interesting for them to keep the provinces in the Northeast? What's more, whether they can hold it is still a problem, so they are all looking very clumsy now, and they have no good way at all.

Shoushan couldn't help but said, "Why don't we ask Wang Guorui for help?"

Shoushan considered himself a "Han Chinese", at least his ancestors were Han Chinese, and Wang Guorui didn't mean to blame the Manchus, so he thought he could still escape unscathed. As for Yuan Chonghuan's bad things, can Wang Guorui use this as an excuse to pursue him, a descendant? What's more, Yuan Chonghuan's evaluation is also inconclusive, so naturally Wang Guorui can't use this as an excuse to do anything to him, right? Now Wang Guorui seems to want to sit in the mountains and rivers, and now he can't keep the northeast provinces in front of Russia anyway, so why not "sell" the northeast provinces for a good price!

Taking the initiative to ask Wang Guorui to come to support, in fact, he wanted to "sell" the northeast provinces to Wang Guorui. Anyway, since he couldn't keep it, he took advantage of this time and was still under his own hands to "sell" as soon as possible. This can ensure a safe and soft landing for the rest of my life. Even if I am forced to leave my official career early, it will be a safe "soft landing". At least it will not affect my reputation behind me, nor will it affect the future of my descendants. Even if Wang Guorui doesn't employ them, their descendants can have a promising future, so it is only serious to "sell" the three northeastern provinces as soon as possible. If you wait for the Russians to call, not only will you lose your life, but you will not be able to "sell" it at a good price.

Although Shoushan is loyal to the country and is willing to sacrifice for the country. But anyone who can live, who wants to die! If it was only Manchu, then he would naturally choose to serve the country with his death. Now that Wang Guorui has appeared, he seems to be "cherishing his life" a little bit, at least he has hope, and those who have hope will naturally not want to die, at least when there is a way out, who wants to die! Therefore, it is a good thing to sell it as soon as possible, and your offspring will have a future.

However, the clan general Jilin Chongshan cursed: "You, a man without a father and no king, actually want to join that traitor Wang Guorui? Are you worthy of the emperor's grace? You are worthy of my love for Xinjueluo's family for so many years." Is it kindness to you? Don’t forget, who made you this Heilongjiang general? If it weren’t for our Aixinjueluo family, would you have been able to become this general? It’s going to be destroyed, but you don’t think about how to save it, and you actually want to sell yourself for a good price here, is this the behavior that a loyal minister should have?”

Hearing this, Shoushan was not to be outdone, and directly scolded: "Am I also defending the land for my Qing Dynasty? Besides, Wang Guorui has not forced the emperor and queen mother to take the throne. Maybe Wang Guorui just hopes to implement a constitutional monarchy." What? At that time, we promised him the position of chief minister of the cabinet, and that was fine~lightnovelpub.net~ At that time, we restricted him in many ways, so he would not be able to do anything."

"Are you treating me like a three-year-old child?" Chongshan said angrily.

Shou Shan was embarrassed for a while, he didn't believe what he said just now, how could he make others believe it? Everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, so don't play Liaozhai, who doesn't understand the current situation! In this day and age, who doesn't want to sell themselves for a good price? All the big officials in the frontiers in the pass are also thinking about how to use the territory in their hands to bargain and seek the greatest benefits for themselves. And now, can these Northeasts be able to take care of themselves? The current situation is not hundreds of years ago, allowing the Manchu and Qing royal family to withdraw from the Central Plains and establish a country again. The current situation is very obvious. The Russians are invading outside, the Japanese are watching North Korea, and the Northeast cannot be alone in this chaos. Under the pressure of the Russians and Japanese, the Northeast has become suitable for both prosperity and prosperity in the pass, and it has become an indivisible country under the pressure of the Russians and Japanese. Even if they wanted to split, would the Japanese and Russians agree?

"Okay, it's time to stop arguing. What should we do in Liaodong? We have to come up with a solution! If there is no way to solve the Russian invasion, then even if we talk about the future It's useless!" Qing Sheng said. (To be continued..) u
