Lei Huken was willing to take care of discipline in the army, which made Wei Ze feel a lot more at ease. The discipline building within the Liberation Army is quite good, and at least before the title of the Liberation Army is formally established, there is a relatively systematic discipline supervision organization and a regular system. The key now is to have someone who has the weight and the peace of mind to take care of it. Thunder Tiger is undoubtedly a good choice.

However, a question raised by Lei Hu immediately made Wei Ze scratch his head a little, "What to do with the Manchurians in Beijing after breaking through Beijing." ”

Weezer never cared about killing the enemy, and the complete liquidation of the Manchurians was also a matter that had to be implemented. Ordering the execution of hundreds of thousands of foreigners, Weser was not pressured at all. But Wei Ze himself did not know friends of the Manchus, just as he also had many friends of the Muslims. A considerable number of these people put China first in their identity, and these will also have a certain influence on Weeser's current decision.

After frowning and thinking for a while, Weser suddenly became happy. Lei Hu looked at Wei Ze's expression, and he was also relieved. If it weren't for the solution, Wei Ze wouldn't have expressed himself like this.

Wei Ze said: "After breaking the city, the soldiers naturally can't let go. But ordinary people, just ask them whether they are Manchu or Han. If you insist that you are Han from your ancestors, we will not kill you. If you admit that you are Manchurian, then get rid of it. ”

"Huh?" Lei Hu was frightened by this self-deceptive plan, Wei Ze was never ambiguous in doing things, let alone reluctant. But this approach is really vague and reluctant, and if the Manchurians are willing to say nonsense and admit that they are Han, it is tantamount to letting them go. This is really out of step with Weeser's style.

"Tiger, I have said many times that we are going to build a modern nation-state. In fact, the industrialized modern nation-state has only one identity, you are Chinese. It's just that everyone lives in different parts of China, has different natural environments, and has different industries. We also talk about evolution, but in fact, the first ancestors of human beings are no different. The so-called nation is originally a group of people who gather on the same land and have the same way of life produced by natural conditions. In order to facilitate the rule, different ethnic groups were finally created. And with the development of industry, these different modes of life will be completely eliminated, and eventually everyone's way of life and attitude will become more and more consistent, and at that time, all so-called ethnic distinctions will be eliminated. Weeser said.

"Then what does this have to do with the Manchurians?" Lei Hu didn't quite understand Wei Ze's theory, and he didn't want to discuss this kind of thing that sounded like a cloud and a mountain of fog, so Lei Hu continued to go straight to the point.

"Then I'll ask you so, will Beijing still be full of people after I deal with it like this?" Weeser also attributes the discussion to the original content.

"Definitely!" Lei Hu replied.

"Who's to admit it?" Weeser continued.

Lei Hu stammered with a rare mouth. Yes, when the Manchus resolutely admit that they are not Manchurians, it is true that no one admits that they are Manchurians. In a sense, the Manchus in Beijing were wiped out. After some thought, Lei Hu finally came up with a new reason, "Can ...... But they will definitely find a way to overthrow the new government. ”

Wei Ze said with a smile: "When the Manchus did not withdraw from the Guanwai, they couldn't overthrow our new government, and those hardcore Manchus all ran away to the Guanwai, and there are no people left in Beijing who are willing to admit that they are Manchus, but this can overthrow our new government?" Your joke isn't funny at all! ”

Although this logical relationship is simple, Lei Hu is really unacceptable in a short period of time. He frowned again and thought for a while before he said, "Then why don't you just pardon the Manchurians?" ”

Wei Ze shook his head, "Why should I pardon the Manchurians? I don't have any reason to pardon the Manchurians. I will also sue Sù Nguyen Hee Ho that I can't induce them to say that. He admitted that he was a Manchu, so he would be buried with the Manchus. If he hadn't been a soldier, he would have admitted that his ancestors were Han Chinese, so why force them to say that he was a Manchurian? ”

Lei Hu shook his head, "Dudu, we treat them as Han, they may not really think of themselves as Han. If they want revenge, we give them a chance. This is not appropriate. ”

Wei Ze said: "I have the mind of revenge, if I say that I am afraid of revenge, how many families do I have to destroy in Baise?" I killed a lot of people with my own hands in Bose. Tiger, sometimes it is better to be a little more open-minded and a little compassionate. ”

"We have mercy on them, but they are afraid that they will be full of resentment." Lei Hu retorted.

"Compassion is not a reciprocal deal, that is, if I am good to you, you have to be just as good to me, if not better. Compassion is just not killing more when you can. I won't let the Manchus go, but there's no need to kill all the people who claim that their ancestors are Han Chinese. Killing the former is a concept, and not killing is compassion. We can't give up our principles, we can't give up our ideas, but when we don't get involved with principles and ideas, we should try to be compassionate. The next step is to manage discipline, principles and discipline cannot be broken, but if everything is forced under principles, it will certainly be difficult to move an inch. Strict discipline is acceptable, but one cannot accept a strict individual. I think you can understand that. By the end, Wesser's tone had become very soft, but there was an extremely heavy feeling inside.

Lei Hu thought for a while, and finally replied, "Dudu, since you say so, then I will do it." ”

Two days later, on October 1, Nguyen Hee Ho entered the Forbidden City under the escort of the guards. Looking at the dragon chair in the Jinluan Palace, Ruan Xihao sneered, "Is this the Forbidden City!" But that's it! ”

In Nguyen's imagination, Beijing should be a splendid city, at least more glorious than Nanjing, the current capital of the new government. But when he entered the city in person, Ruan Xihao found out that he was wrong, and he was outrageously wrong.

The streets of Beijing were regulated in the Yuan Dadu, the width of the main street was 24 steps, the width of the small street was 12 steps, the width of the hutong was 6 steps, and the step at that time was 5 feet, about 1.5 meters, so it is estimated that the width of the street at that time was 36 meters, the width of the small street was 18 meters, and the width of the hutong was 9 meters.

If this criterion is indeed fully implemented, the city of Beijing will be only a little narrower than the new government's urban design requirements. But the actual situation is not at all, in the Ming Dynasty, the width of the main street is about 25~28 meters, the small street is about 12~15 meters wide, and the hutong is about 5~6 meters wide. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the general street was only 9~12 meters wide, at the west exit of Dongcheng Tieshi Hutong, a short street was connected, called Wide Street, this street was actually not wide, the reason why it was called this name, probably at that time, this street in this area was the widest. At that time, the average alley was 3~5 meters wide, and the narrowest alley was only 55~65 cm wide.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of the streets in Beijing were loess roads, only Wangfujing Street, Dongdan, Xidan and Gulou Streets were gravel roads, and Qianmen, grinding factories and Xiheyan areas were cylinder bricks or stone roads. In the middle of the road is a road, which is for cars and horses, and there are various grocery stalls on both sides, and pedestrians are also walking on both sides. At that time, the road was high in the middle and low on both sides, like a gentle slope. The sidewalks on both sides account for about one-third, and the walkways account for two-thirds. The loess used for paving is loose and dry, and there is often a thick layer of floating soil on the road, which often makes the loess fly all over the sky when the wind blows, and even makes the whole sky turn yellow, and the pedestrians are blown all over their faces with dirt. The Beijing area is dry and rainless, but once it rains, the rainwater falls on the dirt road, and becomes a thin mud, and the culvert is blocked, and the sediment enters the moat with the rainwater, so that the bottom of the river is raised, and the rainwater retained on both sides of the road is even poured into the residential yard, and the silt enters the culvert, making the culvert dig up and block every year.

Ruan Xihao had just arrived in Beijing from Nanjing, and although the city was full of corpses and the smell of blood was strong, he could still smell the strong and pungent smell of blood when he walked down the street.

The loess paved road was not strong enough, and it was even more uneven due to the heavy pulling of goods and the repeated crushing of horse-drawn carriages with people. Some citizens dig up the loess that paves the road without authorization and use it to make briquettes, the poor people dump the leftovers of soup on the road after eating at the roadside stalls, and the hawkers will inevitably throw some vegetable leaves and chicken feathers when they sell vegetables and sell chickens and ducks on the roadside. What's more, some citizens defecate and defecate on the side of the street and in the alley at will, making the roadside feces and urine everywhere, smelly and unpleasant. The streets that have fallen into disrepair and are pothole-ridden have also caused passengers sitting on donkey carts and mule carts to suffer from bumps, and it is no wonder that whenever the emperor passes through a certain section of the street, he has to use loess to pad the ground and splash the street with clean water.

Under the blow of the Liberation Army, Beijing's economy was extremely bad and there was a shortage of living materials. In fact, the smell of Beijing has dissipated a lot, and even so, the disgusting smell is still extremely strong. Although the city of Nanjing was not very good, the Guangfu Army had urban planning, cement, and professional engineers. The city's air quality has been improved across the board as the small river ditches that were used to discharge sewage have been replaced with sewage channels covered with prefabricated cement slabs. The area near the sewage canal is fully greened, and even a lot of flowers and plants with tenacious vitality are planted. Although catching flower thieves consumes a lot of police resources, it is also very beneficial. Even if Nanjing City is not fragrant, it has initially solved the problem of smell disturbing the people.

Compared with the wide and smooth hardened pavement of green trees and gravel everywhere in Nanjing, Beijing looks like a capital city and a political center. It's more like a place of filth and filth, a nest of savages. Resisting the urge to go up and sit on the dragon chair, Ruan Xihao ordered: "Search for the remnants of the enemy and arrest all the people in the city." There won't be any good people in this kind of place! ”

As he spoke, the communications staff officer sent an order from Nanjing. The Liberation Army was not completely devoid of infrastructure in recent months, and the troops built a simple telegraph network along the canal. Although the network is not complete, the communication speed has finally improved a lot.

After reading the telegram for a while, Ruan Xihao's face became extremely strange. The chief of staff next to him asked, "Commissar, what's going on?" ”

"The governor ordered that the Manchurians be screened." Nguyen Hee Ho replied.

This was meant to be the way it should be, and the chief of staff did not feel that there was any problem. And Ruan Xihao continued with that strange expression: "The governor said, the dragon chair is there, so everyone will go and have a good time." That's fine, but we need to write a 400-word or more reflection. ”

When the chief of staff heard this, his face also showed a strange expression similar to that of Ruan Xihao. There is helplessness, but there is also a little gratitude.
