Guo Xing's impression of Prince Aikonai is not bad, this little girl who has just entered puberty is pure and lovely, white and tender and still looks very cute. Aiko's appearance is not particularly beautiful, but it is not ugly, and what is commendable is that her height is very passable, about 1.6 meters, not only 1.4 meters like princes in the palace. However, Goxing Ake is not ready to have anything to do with her, Prince Aikonei is just a trophy, just put it in the warehouse, Goxing Ake doesn't want to have any Sino-Japanese offspring.

For the purpose of the party, after a very simple concubine ceremony, Guo Xing'a only stayed in Jilin for one day, and then returned to Changchun to watch the two great gods Pi Runmin and Zou Degui. Although these two gods have been much more honest after they began to prepare for the election, Guo Xinga is still not at ease! As an ordinary person, Guo Xing'a is very afraid of this kind of talented and intelligent person, and he is always afraid that these two people will play some tricks in places that he can't see. He didn't know that Pi Runmin and Zou Degui didn't dare to mess around at all now, and they were even more afraid that he, the unpredictable general, would play some tricks.

As soon as Guo Xing'a returned to Changchun, he saw the edict sent by the imperial court, and then he couldn't play, so he could only urgently recruit Pi Runmin, Zou Degui and others to the general to discuss. It has been almost ten years since Guo Xing'a and the imperial court played their own games, and the whole world knows that Northern Manchukuo and the Qing Dynasty are not the same thing. Although North Manchu has had a good relationship with the imperial court recently, and Guo Xing'a often praises Tongzhi, the nominal leader, but this is all face-saving work, and the imperial court should not take it seriously. Yi Xin and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces are not hot-headed people, how could they do such a thing as letting themselves go to Beijing! Guo Xing'a's not very bright head is a little insufficient, and this kind of political breakthrough has to be understood by Pi Runmin and Zou Degui.

"It's so counterintuitive, it's weird, it's weird, it's weird! There must be a demon when things are ordinary, and the general's respect for ten thousand times should not be lightly involved, so I still refuse it! Pi Runmin took the imperial court's edict and read it several times, but he always felt that something was wrong, and he was conservative in consideration, so he still suggested that Guo Xing'a not go to Beijing.

"It's really weird, but whether to refuse or not, you still have to think about it! Nowadays, immigrants from several provinces in Jiangbei, raw materials for light industry factories in Fengtian, and even the goods of arsenals, are all counting on Guannai. The wording of this edict from the imperial court is extremely polite, if we refuse, I am afraid that it will affect our relationship with the imperial court! Zou Degui didn't want Guoxing'a to go, but the court still couldn't be offended at the moment, and the economic impact was too great.

The territory of Northern Manchurian is not much smaller than that of Guannai, but the population gap is still very large. Although Goxinga has tried various methods to encourage childbearing, the speed of territorial expansion is too fast, and this supplement still cannot keep up. In addition to the core of the eight provinces south of the Yangtze River and the Singapore Special Administrative Region in Nanyang, including Mengdong, Uriya Sutai, Outer Manchuria, as well as the former East Siberia, Transbaikal and other regions, the land is still vast and sparsely populated, and there is not a single living person for dozens of miles. Panama, Hawaii, New Guinea, Hokkaido and other places still need immigrants, and the population pressure in North Manchuria is very huge. I can't be born by myself, so I can only ask the big brother in Kannai for help, and population has never been a problem in China.

In terms of arms, North Manchuria is the world's arsenal at present, and has surpassed Britain to become the world's number one arms dealer, and there are weapons from North Manchu all over the world, but the largest buyer of North Manchuria is still the Qing court. Before the start of the Westernization Movement, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang and other subordinates began to change Manchurian equipment, and after the Westernization Movement began, the Qing Dynasty began a nationwide change. The equipment of more than 1 million troops in the Qing Dynasty is a big piece of cake. There are many countries in the world with a million troops, but only the Qing Dynasty can fully equip them with Manchurian-style equipment. Now that the arsenal is still expanding, new equipment is still being developed, and North Manchuria must use the export of weapons to make up for the funding gap and maintain the industrial scale of the arsenal.

In fact, the population and munitions can still be suspended, but there is really no way to do this in terms of industrial raw materials. In addition to basic necessities such as grain, timber, and minerals, as well as raw materials for heavy industry, that is, Mongolia can get some wool, other light industrial raw materials are all lacking. However, this treasure land of heavy industry now has to develop in an all-round way, especially the light industry, which was seriously biased in the past. Now there are factories in the light industry, but the raw materials still have to come from the customs, whether it is fruits, vegetables, silk, tung oil, even tea, tobacco, they all have to rely on the supply of the customs. Moreover, the light industry is very fragile, as long as the supply is cut off in the Guannai, it will not take half a month, and Dalian, Yingkou, and the newly built Haicheng light industry base in Fengtian will all have to stop production and business, and the economic losses are immeasurable.

"Huaiyuan, don't settle these small accounts, the court dares to confront us, we will immediately wave our troops into the customs, and when the troops come to the city of Beijing, they have to agree to everything. Blindly seeking perfection will only be arrogant and indulging them, and make them think differently! Some economic losses are nothing, nothing is as important as the safety of the general! "Pi Runmin and Zou Degui are only temporarily truce, so naturally they have to say a few words when they have the opportunity. However, halfway through speaking, Pi Runmin suddenly remembered that Guo Xing'a also advocated compromise with the imperial court, and he hurriedly turned the topic back to Guo Xing'a's safety.

"How much does it cost to raise an army to fight, and how much does it cost to receive the tragedy in the Guannei? Even if we can solve the problem by subduing the imperial court, how long will the supply of raw materials in the middle be cut off? Do you know how much money a factory loses for a day? If those factories in the south were out of production, Ling Lang would not have any canned fruit to eat at night! Zou Degui naturally wouldn't get used to Pi Runmin, so he went back after a series of rhetorical questions, and he had an attitude towards the old farmers on the ground.

"You! It's all money when you open and close your mouth, you Zou Xiang is my secretary of state in North Manchuria! It's still a pilgrimage in the Bank of Shanxi! "If you do it, a hundred Pi Runmin can't beat Zou Degui, but if you quarrel, Pi Runmin's big voice doesn't scare anyone at all.

"Governing the country, I can't even understand finance and taxation, why ......" Zou Degui is not as loud as Pi Runmin, but he is a person who practices martial arts, and he is very angry.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing! Two gentlemen, let's get rid of the anger! "Guo Xing'a really wants to know, how Liu Bei weighed Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, these two military quarrels are not easy to handle!

"The ministers are disrespectful, please give the general a sin!" Guo Xing'a spoke up, and Pi Runmin and Zou Degui reacted, this was not the Fengluantai they were used to, but the general of Guo Xing'a, who hurriedly got up and apologized to Guo Xing'a.

"Sit, sit! It's good that the two of you don't quarrel! Let's get down to business! This court has opened its mouth, should I go, or not! Guo Xing'a was also helpless, so he could only wave his hand and pull the topic back.

"What a dilemma!" Although Pi Runmin has always scolded Zou Degui, he also agrees that what Zou Degui said makes sense.

"The imperial court's move is too strange, not only are we in a dilemma, but they themselves are also difficult to ride a tiger, this is to put both sides on fire!" Zou Degui sighed repeatedly, and then shook his head incessantly.

"The industrial base in the Guannai needs our help to build, and the war in the northwest has not yet subsided, the imperial court is using us, how could it come up with such a trick, and now it is difficult for both sides to step down!" Pi Runmin nodded in agreement with Zou Degui.

"Hmmm! We can't do without the court, and the court can't do without us, they don't dare to touch me! This invitation, eighty percent may just want to meet, the little emperor is going to be in power, and he should indeed meet my nominal uncle! Guo Xing'a lit a cigarette, and after thinking about it, he still felt that the court would not have malicious intentions.

"One in ten thousand, the general must not be easily involved!" Pi Runmin heard that Guo Xing'a had the intention of entering the customs, and immediately expressed his opposition.

"Indeed, as long as there is the slightest risk, the general cannot enter the customs!" Although Zou Degui was inclined not to offend the imperial court, Guo Xing'a went on an adventure, and he did not agree.

The recent relationship between Northern Manchu and the imperial court is good, but in the eyes of the imperial court, Guoxing'a is still an intolerable feudal town, and there are many people in the court who want to kill Guoxing'a. The idea of killing Guoxinga and taking over North Manchuria, the imperial court is not without it, but it just doesn't have the strength. If Guo Xing'a entered the customs lightly, and the imperial court suddenly made a difficulty, detained Guo Xing'a, or simply made Guo Xing'a, it would be difficult for Northern Manchuria. Guo Xing'a is willful, and he can be arbitrary, and Yixin and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces are even more so, in case their brains are hot, Guo Xing's head will be unstable.

"If I have any accidents, the imperial court can't afford the retaliation of my North Manchurian government and army." Goxinga still felt that the danger would not be too great.

"They may not dare to murder the general, but what if you are detained? Once you are detained by them, they will use you to blackmail me in North Manchuria, and this matter will be in trouble! Pi Runmin felt that Guo Xing'a was a little naïve, as long as he entered the Shanhaiguan, the initiative was in the hands of the imperial court, and he couldn't play any tricks!

"Actually, there is something I have wanted to say for a long time! North Manchuria is not my own North Manchuria, but the North Manchu of all of us, and I am just a symbolic head of state. Over the years, we have designed a very reasonable political system, as well as a perfect system of succession of the head of state, even if I suddenly have some accidents, North Manchuria is still North Manchuria, and we can still operate normally. We are already a modern country, we have a complete system, no one in this country is indispensable, without anyone, she can go on well, so there is no need to care too much. If the court wants to see me, I'll go, maybe there will be some unexpected gains! Guo Xinga extinguished the cigarette and made his own decision.

"Great General Shengming!" Pi Runmin and Zou Degui both agreed, they didn't understand anything about "modern countries", and they heard the special meaning of Guoxing's words.
