Russia's plan is to hand over Jinzhou to the East China government and introduce the military power of the East China government into Northeast China. In this way, the cooperative relationship between the East China government and Japan will definitely be completely broken, and the Northeast China has become a situation where the three forces restrain each other. No one dares to act rashly. In this case, Japan can no longer attack the Russian army without any effort. The persistence will probably last for a long time. Therefore, Japan has a great possibility that it will choose to cease the war in its current state. This is also the most decent way that Russia can obtain to end the war.

If the East China government is introduced into the Northeast, Japan does not intend to stop. Russia can find a way to join forces with the East China government. As long as it gives up some benefits to the East China government, it is enough. Of course, these are Russia's ideas, but future development may not develop in the direction Russia hopes for, because the contradictions between Russia and the East China government are also irreconcilable. This time it is completely mutual use and may turn against each other at any time. After the East China government enters Jinzhou, perhaps the East China government will join forces with Japan to deal with Russia, or although they do not join forces, they will still fight against Russia; or the East China government still remains unmoved and watches Russia and Japan continue to fight. Therefore, Russia has put forward restrictions on the number of people's troops stationed in Jinzhou and also controls the power of the People's Army intervening in the Northeast. It does not hope that the Japanese wolf has been brought in another tiger in the Northeast region.

But now Russia is eager to hope that the People's Army will enter Jinzhou as soon as possible to balance Japan's advantages and change the situation in the Northeast. Therefore, it is very active in promoting negotiations, so it is almost impossible for the People's Army to enter Jinzhou as soon as possible.

Due to the poor external information from the East China government, at the beginning, I thought Russia had some conspiracy, but later I learned from Germany that Russia was in chaos in China, so I realized that Russia was in a hurry to pull the East China government into the Northeast. Moreover, from the experience of the old time and space, the civil unrest in Russia this time was indeed quite disturbing, and the Tsar Romantsev dynasty was almost overwhelmed by the Taiwan Strait, so I felt relieved.

The East China government believes that the limit on the number of people entering Jinzhou proposed by Russia is acceptable. Anyway, take down Jinzhou first and then increase its troops to Jinzhou later. It is not up to itself that the East China government will not really adhere to this agreement.

Since neither side had any objections, they naturally signed an agreement immediately. Russia asked the East China government to enter Jinzhou within 5 days. The East China government was afraid that the night would be long and dreams would be too long, so it agreed.

After the agreement was signed, the East China government immediately began to formulate a plan to enter Jinzhou. Although the distance from Shandong to Jinzhou is not far, if you walk about 300 kilometers on the sea route, and the Bohai Sea is an inland sea, it is completely enough to transport the army to Jinzhou within 5 days.

But Jinzhou is not a seaside city. Although it is not far from the sea, you still need to find a port near Jinzhou as a shore point for sea routes. Of course, this location is not difficult to find. The East China government finally chose Huludao, about 50 kilometers southwest of Jinzhou. In the old time and space, Huludao was the main port on the western Liaoning Corridor, with deep water and wide water, and can be parked with ten thousand tons of ships. Although Huludao is only a small wharf now, it is enough at present.

It is not difficult to reach the army stationed in Jinzhou. At least the 15 standing divisions of the army are currently training in a concentrated manner, and several divisions can be drawn at any time. Transportation is not a big problem. Navy warships can also be dispatched at any time. However, although Jinzhou is not the intervention point for the East China government to join the war, due to the importance of its strategic position, it will definitely be the starting point of the battle after the East China government officially joins the war. Therefore, the garrison in Jinzhou will never have the strength of 1 or 2 divisions, or at least the organization of the field army.

Although the army has not yet established a field army organization, if it really participates in the war, it will definitely require this level of organization. And it has been considered when expanding the army. The organization of a field army is 3-4 divisions, plus 1-2 independent combat regiments of military families, 2-3 reserve regiments, with a force of about 50,000. With 1 A-type division and 1-2 ordinary divisions as the core, some reserve troops are laid. In this way, the entire army can organize 5-6 field troops as the main organization of participating troops. The commanders of the 5 A-type divisions are actually trained as commanders of the future field army.

According to the plan, the field army should have started to be organized around March, but now the opportunity to enter Jinzhou suddenly appears, so the field army has to be organized in advance. After discussion, the Military Commission decided to first form the First Field Army, the 2nd Division, the 6th Division and the 10th Division, and then equipped with a reserve division and regiment-level unit. The commander is temporarily appointed by the commander of the 2nd Division, the 2nd Division.

Originally, the organization of the first field army should have been formed with the 1st Division as the core, but Luo Yue, the former commander of the 1st Division, went to the Marine Corps. The successor to the division commander was Liu Tie, who was obviously inferior to the commander of other A-type divisions in terms of qualifications. Moreover, the 1st Division was drawn to the Marine Corps with the largest number of backbone personnel, which also had a certain impact on combat effectiveness. Therefore, the 1st Field Army could only be established with the 2nd Division as the core.

Of course, it is impossible to bring the 1st Field Army to Jinzhou now. First, only the 2nd Division was dispatched, and the 2nd Division's deputy commander Ran Runfeng acted as the commander's team. Qiu Yahui stayed in Qingdao to be responsible for the organization of the 1st Field Army.

The 2nd Division's club arrangement was that the 1st Regiment entered Jinzhou, which also met the limit of 3,000 people proposed by Russia. The 3rd Regiment was stationed in Huludao, while the 2nd Regiment and other troops of the division were stationed in the Tashan area west of Jinzhou. This place can protect the flanks of Jinzhou and cover Huludao.

In addition to military personnel, more than 300 administrative personnel and more than 500 police personnel were organized to go to Jinzhou. On the one hand, they gained a foothold in Jinzhou, and on the other hand, they also used Jinzhou as a springboard to prepare for future entry into the Northeast region. In addition, about 1,500 engineering personnel were needed to expand the wharf, build railways, roads, and fortresses along the road from Huludao to Jinzhou.

On the evening of February 4, 1905, the Navy sent the Shan 1st Cruiser Detachment and the 1st Destroyer Detachment to escort the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division into Jinzhou. There were 12 transport ships accompanying him. In addition to the 1st Regiment, there were about 500 engineering personnel and corresponding engineering materials. He arrived in Huludao at 12 noon the next day.

At this time, the Russian army had only 60 troops stationed in Huludao, and two small gunboats less than 100 tons. It turned out that after the war between Japan and Russia, the Qing court declared neutrality and demarcated the war zone, basically demarcating the entire Liaodong Peninsula as a war zone between Japan and Russia. The western Liaoning area was not in the war zone, so it planned to garrison troops in the western Liaoning area to prevent the fire from spreading to the pass. However, Russia did not recognize the war zone designated by the Qing court, and insisted on refusing the Qing army to station in the western Liaoning area, forbidding the Qing army to cross Shanhaiguan, and threatened the Qing court that if the Qing army left the pass, Russia would dispatch a large army to the pass.

The Qing court was afraid of being annoyed by Russia, so he really did not dare to send troops out of Shanhaiguan to station. It was not until May 1904 that Russia's war was unfavorable, and the Qing court negotiated with Russia again. Russia concessions allowed the Qing army to leave the customs and stationed in Chaoyang County, Gubeikou and other areas, but only one battalion of troops was allowed to station, and it was not allowed to cross the garrison. In fact, Russia's total strength in western Liaoning was less than 1,000. If the Qing court was a little tougher, it could drive all the Russian troops out of western Liaoning.

After seeing the People's Army's fleet, the Russian army guarding Huludao was shocked because the Russian army had received a notice that they wanted to let the People's Army enter Jinzhou, but the total force was only 3,000. Why did more than 20 ships come, and there were more than 10 warships among them? How many people are there? There must be more than 3,000 people.

At this time, the fleet had approached 4 or 5 kilometers away from the pier and issued a flag to the pier. While indicating its identity, it also asked the pier to send a guide ship to guide the warships and ships to dock.

But Dudaev, the lieutenant who was in charge of guarding Huludao, hesitated a little at this time, and felt in his heart that the opponent seemed to be a bad person. Therefore, Dudaev ordered that the other party send a representative ashore first and negotiate with him clearly before talking.

After the banner on the shore was issued, it was not long before many of the other ships put down their boats and rowed towards the shore with soldiers. Dudaev counted and found that there were 10 boats, with about 30 people on each boat, and they were all fully armed. Even with their calves, they knew that they were definitely not going ashore to negotiate.

At this time, a Russian soldier beside him said, "Lieutenant, they don't seem to be very friendly. Should they open fire to stop them?" The other Russian soldiers also seemed eager to try.

Fortunately, Dudaev was still clear-headed to stop the other party? How to stop it? There are only more than 30 Russian soldiers on the dock now, and even the dock is dissatisfied with the dock. There are about 300 people in this round? Can you stop it? Although there are two simple cannons on the dock, several old artillery pieces with front-mounted artillery pieces, and the opponent has more than 10 warships. At this time, the muzzles all point to the dock, and at least 3,40 artillery pieces of various caliber, Dudaev has no doubt that the other party can completely destroy the dock with a volley. Moreover, he has indeed received the order to hand over Jinzhou to the other party, so it is better not to do more trouble at this time.
