Wang Yi was so arrogant that his classmates had already slapped him in the future.

Xu Jianyin looked shocked. He obviously did not expect that Da Shang Shipyard was so technically capable. He had known that he would come here to inspect it before he had gone to Europe.

"Chairman, I don't know when I can visit the shipyard?"

"It's OK at any time!" Wang Yixiao said.

“That’s so thankful.”

"It's okay, our big merchants have always regarded customers as the Jade Emperor. They think about what you think and worry about what you are anxious about. If you have any requirements, we will do our best to do it." Wang Yi began to talk about his business practice again.

Xu Jianyin was quite moved.

After he left, Wang Yi called Fatty She. When he heard that Wang Yi wanted to arrange a guest for his presidential suite. The fat man immediately said, "Xiao Yi, tell me the truth, is this guy clean?"

Wang Yiyi realized that the fat man was scared by the court. After thinking about it, he said, "I read the gang of people. Otherwise, you can remove all the books? Or just replace them with foreign novels. Even if it is Jin Pingmei and the West Chamber, isn't that better than being missed by people all day long?"

Fatty She felt a little moved when she heard this.

Three days later, Xu Jianyin left Yingkou, and then Zhang Jingxiao called Wang Yi and said, "Sir, Beiyang ordered a supply ship from us, worth about 400,000 silver dollars."

"I thought he could order a warship, what's wrong with our ship?" Wang Yi said a little regretfully.

"It's not that our ship is bad, it's that they have no money in Beiyang." Zhang Jingxiao said with a smile.

"Forget it, mosquito meat is also meat, and it can earn more than ordinary merchant ships."

As soon as he finished chatting, Fatty She called, with endless grief and anger in his voice, saying, "Xiaoyi, these grandchildren are really bullying!"

"Why did Xu Jianyin steal the book?"

"No, he is clean, but his men stole the five sets of classic painted golden bottle plums I just put on!"

"Why would I send someone to catch them back? That would be too unreasonable!"

Fatty She thought, forget it, they are all government officials, and they can’t afford to offend them. If they really make trouble, they will lose their customers in the future.

At the end of September, the second batch of Da Shang's third infantry division, the Second Artillery Division and the Second Cavalry Division, which had just completed the training, held a oath-taking meeting. The commanders of the three divisions were Cao Man, Hardan Batel, and Jin Jingzi. At the same time, the Da Shang Air Force was established, and the commander-in-chief was naturally on Wang Yi. However, the real person in charge was Zhao Ziguang, and the subordinate departments included the First Airship Attack Team, a Viper Attack Reconnaissance Airship. The First Airship Transport Team, a Mammoth Transport Airship, Air Force Academy, military airport, ground staff, logistics, etc., with a total of more than 3,300 people.

Wang Yi did not let all the troops go north, and more than 13,000 troops of the Third Infantry Division entered Andong. The Second Artillery Division went north to meet with the First Infantry Division and completed the encirclement and suppression of the Rajcz Front. The Second Cavalry Division entered Manzhouli, which was between Hulunbu Yuer and Kublezheku, at the northern end of Kulen Lake, and looked at Nibchu from the north. In order to enter this place, Wang Yi gave Heilongjiang Generals and the local area a lot of benefits.

After half a year of construction, Dashang Railway Construction Company completed the railway from Shuangchengzi to Niman, which made Dashang's material transportation much more convenient. The goods came ashore from Vladivostok, and then took the train all the way to Shuangchengzi to Niman. Then loaded the ship from here, followed the Ussuri River, passed Huaxin, arrived at Boli, and then followed Heilongjiang west to Mohe.

By mid-October, the temperature in the northeast had dropped to around zero degrees.

Rajcz was watching the latest battlefield trends in the bunker. He was a little anxious after fighting the tenth Russian-Turkish war. The current situation was very unfavorable to Tsarist Russia. Since he left the Outer Xing'an Mountains, he had encountered the opponent's blocking position. At first, he did not take the opposite army seriously, but he led his army to rush and was immediately suppressed by the powerful firepower. The Cossack cavalry, who had always been invincible and were known for their courage and resoluteness, had actually lost nearly 50%. Although they had rushed to the other side's positions many times and achieved certain results, they were surrounded and suppressed by the opponent. The subsequent infantry troops had no time to rush to the position, and the Cossack cavalry had been slaughtered, and the infantry had no choice but to retreat again.

As time goes by, the insurance team's understanding of tactics and weapon effectiveness has continued to increase, and its defense has become more and more stable, and it has even begun small-scale counterattacks. This made Rajz feel a lot of pressure. Sometimes he even thinks of being frustrated and just withdraws his troops. Unless the empire can double the troops in his hands... no, twice, otherwise it will not be able to break through the opponent's defense at all.

I had thought about going out from other paths before, but the other party left a spy in the outer Xing'an Mountains. As long as the army is mobilized, the other party will respond immediately. The first time, the opponent's horse team almost dispersed its rear army. If it weren't for his years of battlefield experience, he decisively gave up the plan, and fortunately arranged a reserve team, otherwise the strategic transfer would have turned into a defeat.

I always have a feeling that the other party obviously doesn't want to destroy him all at once. They seem to be training... a bunch of bastards!

Several staff officers were worried at this time. Chief of Staff Wolver came over and said, "General, if the situation continues like this, once the temperature drops again, our logistics will be in danger."

Rajc also knew that the situation was serious now. Several field teams of Da Shang were present in the mountains of the Outer Xing'an Mountains and attacked our logistics team from time to time. Now the team with less than 300 people dared not travel at all, but even so, the situation was not optimistic.

"Wolwoff, what do you mean?"

In fact, everyone in this room knew the answer, but no one had the courage to say it.

"Retreat the troops. Go back to Yakutsk. It's cold and the soldiers are tired. Stay there again. Once the mountains are closed due to heavy snow, we will cut off supplies. By then we will be finished!"

Rajc looked down without saying anything, looking at the map in his eyes, his expression was cold. Others couldn't say anything more at this time...

"Should I ask His Majesty the Tsar to withdraw the troops?" Rajcz kept lingering in his mind.

"Report!" The intelligence officer rushed in quickly at this time, looking very panicked.

"What's wrong?" Rajz didn't like this expression.

"The general's major affairs are not good. The Northeast Republic Army landed from Ayang, crossed the Jugjur Mountains, burned and killed all the way, without leaving any chickens and dogs. They captured Yakutsk three days ago and burned all our new grain this summer! At the same time, the major events are burned and killed..."

This was done by Wu Xiao with two thousand cavalry and one thousand infantry cavalry. He used war to support the war along the way and blocked the news without leaving any living. After Yakutskbon captured, Wu Xiao also knew that he could not defend. Anyway, his idea was simple. He took away all the things he could take away, and I couldn't take them away. After Wu Xiao finished his fun, he returned to Ayang like a locust crossing the border and had to evacuate before the sea ice port.

Rajz almost fainted when he heard the news, but he still stood up straight with his hands on the table. However, the young staff members around him did not have the ability to calm down and soon started arguing.

"Shut up!" Rajcz slapped the table, then made up his mind and said, "No one can leak the news. He ordered the Third Regiment, the Fourth Regiment, the Fifth Regiment, and the First and Second Cavalry Battalions to launch an attack on the Northeast Republic. The rest of the troops packed their luggage and prepared to retreat in turn! You can arrange your plans. If something goes wrong, I will kill you directly."

All the staff members were quiet at this time, and after a while, they began their respective work.

Qian Boji, the commander of the First Infantry Division of the Eastern Theater Command, was a little strange for a moment when facing the Russians' sudden increase in offensive. Later, the news came back one after another that Rajz wanted to escape. So he ordered the First Infantry Division, the Second Infantry Division, and the newly-up Second Artillery Division, to launch a counterattack after resisting the Russian attack. Qian Boji also knew that it was not realistic to eat up the entire Rajz team now, but the Russians would not be able to take back the five or six thousand people who were responsible for the attack.

Although he was able to evacuate successfully, there were only 15,600 people left in Rajcz's army at this time. Although some people fled back one after another, even so the total number was still one-third less than before going south, and the losses were heavy. As for the heavy weapons, they did not bring back many. As soon as the ruined Yakutsk arrived, Rajcz sent a telegram to St. Petersburg and apologized to Alexander III.

After learning about Rajcz's retreat, Skobelev sighed and knew that he could not do anything. Not long after, he received the news that Nibchu was attacked. He could not make up his mind and immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.

First, the Second Cavalry Division had no time to complete the capture of Nebchu, so they had to give up the backbone of Skobelev's troops and continued to break the Chita westward. After the two divisions could not stay in Chita. Before the weather entered the real winter, they all turned into Outer Mongolia and returned to their respective bases.

Skobelev felt that Nibchu was very unsafe, especially after losing the natural barrier of the river in winter, plus the distant logistics supply line. So he decisively ordered to abandon Nibchu and take people through Chita to return to his nest Irkusk.

So the first Eastern Russia War ended like this. Overall, the two sides were tied. The Russian army on both sides lost more than 28,000 people, while the Northeast Republic suffered more than 8,000 people. Although Russia lost some soldiers, its vitality was not damaged. However, the Northeast Republic used this to stabilize its territory and train new recruits. The war then entered a winter break.

After the battle in the Eastern Theater Command, Qian Boji directly sent power to Wang Yi and asked to build Tengda Fortress at the southern entrance of the Xing'anling Mountains, which was approved by Wang Yi. After that, the Second Artillery Division entered Miaotun Fortress, and its division commander Hadan Batel took over Wu Xiao's position and became the commander-in-chief of the fortress. Wu Xiao returned to the base of the martial arts school and presided over the daily work of the entire army. Later, the First Artillery Division entered Yaksa Fortress, the Second Infantry Division entered Duo Chen and Su Chuna, and the First Cavalry Division entered Mohe.

The war did not end, but the negotiations between the two sides began again. This time they were not in Miaotun, but were chosen in Yingkou. The Russian representative was still Buce, while the representative of the Northeast Republic was Zhao Liewen. The Russian side wanted to blackmail and take back what they didn't get on the battlefield from the negotiating table. However, the Northeast Republic was not the Qing Dynasty after all, and did not encounter internal and external difficulties in the Qing Dynasty. So what everyone expected was that the negotiations did not bring any results.

In October 1881, Zuo Zongtang, who became the governor of Liangjiang, suddenly sent a telegram to Wang Yi, hoping to buy a warship from the Dashang Shipyard. Wang Yiyi didn't understand it very well, and later asked Zhao Liewen and Wang Kaiyun. The answers they gave were similar, and the North and South were competing for military expenses.

It is probably because after hearing that Beiyang built a supply ship in the Dashang Shipyard, Zuo Zongtang felt that he should also entrust Dashang to build one or two warships. After all, Beiyang had just signed two warships, Dingyuan and Zhenyuan in Germany. If Nanyang did not buy some warships, it seemed that there would be a tendency to be marginalized. As Li Hongzhang's old rival and political enemy for decades, Zuo Zongtang obviously could not tolerate this situation, so he asked the court for orders to purchase new warships. Of course, he also understood that Beiyang's protection of Beijing and Tianjin important places must be the key investment of the imperial court, so it is normal that it would not be possible to compete for Beiyang in terms of budget.

Unexpectedly, Cixi agreed to this matter, but she didn't give much money, more than 400,000 taels of silver.

"Who will come this time?" Wang Yi and Zhang Jingxiao were on the phone.

"I heard that Hu Xueyan came over with a few people with ponytails."

Wang Yi calculated the days, and it seemed that it was not long before the Sino-French War. It would be great if Nanyang bought warships. Unfortunately, the two Beiyang warships should have been detained in Germany and did not return until 1885. If he could help Nanyang, it might have caused China to lose less. Wang Yi didn't feel that he had the ability to change the end of the Sino-French War, but if he could keep a trace of vitality for the Nanyang Navy, the great powers would not dare to be too arrogant in the south in the future.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Yidao said, "Tell Lord Zuo that my Da Shang is willing to help him with a loan to build two warships, but before they pay the remaining money, these two ships are only nominally owned by Nanyang, and the ship must be operated by our Da Shang."

"Will they agree to this?" Zhang Jingxiao asked some questions.

"You go and ask them, it makes them pay hundreds of thousands of taels of silver late. The benefits are here, they will decide for themselves."

Zhang Jingxiao didn't want to say anything more, so he agreed.

Zuo Zongtang, in the Governor General's Office of Liangjiang, sat on the chair of the Grand Master, holding a telegram to ask about what Wang Yi meant, and was a little embarrassed for a while. Of course, the benefits were obvious, but there seemed to be no such practice for letting outsiders board the warship. Later, Hu Xueyan gave him an idea.

"Sir, when the new ship arrives, the ship must ask for instructors. Da Shang is a shipbuilder, and some instructors on the ship are just right. When we pay the money... the crew should also be familiar with the ship. What do you think?"
