Chapter 763: Chengde Summer Retreat
After relations between the imperial court and Northern Manchukuo stabilized, Goxinga further strengthened his control over the government and the army, took away the supervisory power from the government, and stripped the political work system from the general staff. Everyone thought that Guo Xing'a wanted to rule the world, but Guo Xing'a shook everyone once and returned power to the cabinet again, as if he was going to return to his previous state of lazy government.
Pi Runmin took over the government again, and Guo Xing'a announced that he was going to go on patrol, and he was going to see Rehe and Chahar, which had just been incorporated into the territory.
Just after the chaos and when the people's hearts were not yet stable, it was not wise for Guoxinga to leave Changchun and go to Chengde, where transportation and communication conditions were very underdeveloped. However, now Guoxinga is too strong, and after the cabinet exhortation was ineffective twice, he did not dare to say more. On the face of Guoxing'a, he said that he wanted to visit Xingrehe and Chahar, but in fact he was just going to Chengde, and I don't know what kind of psychology Guoxing'a had to go to Chengde Summer Resort to live for a few days.
Goxinga's trip this time was not a self-guided tour for him alone, but a group tour for the entire Yehnara family. In addition to the beloved son who was favored by Guoxing'a to visit relatives in Japan, and Bo Dun, Qi Buchen and others could not leave lightly in office, all the people and dependents of the Yehenala family in North Manchurian went to Chengde with Guoxing'a. Moreover, all the important ministers of the cabinet had to accompany him, except for Zou Degui, who stayed in Changchun, so that Pi Runmin once wondered if Guoxinga had plans to move the capital to Chengde.
After arriving at the summer resort, Guo Xing'a started the mode of immorality, either taking his daughter around to play around every day, or indulging in sex with his wife and concubine. After a few days of such fun, Guo Xing'a seemed to have a lot of fun, and ordered the main military generals of Mengdong, Uriya Sutai, Rehe, Fengtian, Xing'an and other places to be recruited, saying that they wanted to follow the example of the Qing monarch to shoot in the Mulan enclosure.
"Isn't this meeting easy?" Pi Runmin was assigned to the mansion of Sushun back then, and his heart was all kinds of unhappy, the conditions of this house were good, but the implication was too unlucky. So Pi Runmin, who was not in a very good mood, gathered Chang Zhenzhi and other hardcores and gathered together for a small family banquet.
"Yes! Since the general left the town, there has never been such a large-scale gathering of generals. Even when they conquered Russia and Japan, all the ministries were transferred according to orders, and they never gathered such generals in one place! Chen Bingxiang and the others were not in the mood to eat, so they also analyzed it with half a glass of residual wine.
Bi Yuntao committed suicide, Bo Ri was imprisoned, Tan Shaoguang went to his position, and the five major military bosses were left with only Fengsheng'a and Ji Ying. However, Ji Ying's team is thin, and Fengsheng Ah is almost retiring, so it is difficult to make any big achievements. The general recently recalled Mu Shun and others, this gathering, I'm afraid it's called hunting, but it's actually to re-pick up these old generals who have been retired for many years! "Chang Zhenzhi has been worried recently, the old forces of the military are rising, these guys are not so easy to mess with, and they are more difficult to deal with than the Taiping Department and the Green Camp Department.
"General, do you really need these big guys? It is enough for the military to have a core of the general, why do you need the five big guys, the big six guys, it was the situation before, and the big generals had to maintain the balance of power. Now that the major mountains have been pressed down, how can the general go to trouble himself again. Moreover, although Mu Shun and other old generals are loyal to the general, their power in the Americas is too great, almost a country of their own, and the general may not praise them too highly! Chen Weinian came in and walked very close to Pi Runmin, and his thinking was also closer to Pi Runmin.
"Rong Dameng is also here!" Pi Runmin found that everyone actually misunderstood what he meant, and how Guo Xing'a cleaned up the military generals could not shake the status of his cabinet at all, and he was worried about another literati.
Over the years, Pi Runmin has been above 10,000 people under one person in North Manchuria, and his life has been too long. Moreover, during the period of Guoxing's absence, Pi Runmin seized power too much, and the dispute between him and Zou Degui made North Manchuria. Originally, Guo Xing'a might not have cared about it, but if Guo Xing'a wanted to take power in person, he would inevitably have some strange thoughts about Pi Runmin. When Guo Xing'a started his family, there were four major strategists around him, and when it came to qualifications, the oldest one could be the first to recommend Rong Hong.
Guo Xinga is a person, and he misses the old feelings very much, and Rong Hong has never been involved in the bad things of the cabinet over the years, and has always watched coldly in a state of detachment. If Guo Xing'a is dissatisfied with Pi Runmin, and is not at ease with Zou Degui and Zheng Qifeng, Rong Hong will definitely be his first choice. Rong Hong's thinking is radical, unlike Pi Runmin, Zou Degui and others, who have some old thinking, and Guo Xing'a is more in tune with him. Although over the years, Rong Hong has been in charge of hundreds of projects and has not had much contact with the cabinet objects, but the hundreds of projects are all-encompassing, and Rong Hong's practical ability is not bad at all. Over the years, hundreds of projects have also been carried out impressively, and there has never been any basket. If Rong Hong takes over the cabinet, he will not necessarily be worse than Pi Runmin.
"I'm overly worried! Mr. Da Meng is here to Chengde, not for the phase! The general will never have the heart of easy appearance! Chang Zhenzhi, Chen Bingxiang and a few other old guys, after listening to Pi Runmin's words, all closed their mouths, and the young Chen Weinian was straightforward.
As soon as Chen Weinian's words came out, he secretly regretted it, but it was too late to regret it, and Chang Zhenzhi and Chen Bingxiang's faces were wonderful. The throne of the first assistant of the cabinet, the civil official doesn't want to sit, but Pirun is powerful and has the trust of Guoxinga, and others dare not touch it. But listening to Pi Runmin's tone, he has no bottom in his own heart, and it seems that Pi Runmin, who has been in charge of North Manchurian for more than ten years, is not stable this time. Pi Runmin just mentioned Rong Hong, everyone still had seven points of hesitation, Chen Weinian's words, but it strengthened everyone's judgment.
"Remember, why do you say this!" Pi Runmin didn't notice at all that Chen Weinian's words had aroused the arrogance of his subordinates, and he was more concerned about how Chen Weinian's judgment was reached.
"How can the younger generation not have a phase, and have you forgotten the skin?" After the turmoil of Guoxing's abdication, Chen Weinian was completely out of the cabinet ministers, and it has become an open secret in Northern Manchuria, and he himself has nothing to do with it, always laughing at himself about it.
"You are too involved in the public election, the general is lenient, otherwise your life will be ......" Pi Runmin fell into deep thought, and said this unspoken rule by the way.
"Shine! The younger generation killed himself that time, and Mr. Da Meng is no exception! During the general's abdication, Mr. Da Meng was no more idle than his juniors. And afterwards, he also shouted that it was a pity, and suggested several times that the general should give way again. Now that the general is in the world, how can Mr. Da Meng be the prime minister? Chen Weinian said it thoroughly, Rong Hong is a democrat, but Guo Xing'a is now going to engage in dictatorship, and they can't play together this time.
"Drink, drink, look how good the moonlight is tonight!" Pi Runmin was in a better mood all of a sudden, laughing and inviting everyone to drink.
Chen Weinian secretly called it a fluke, he did not offend Pi Runmin because of a momentary gaffe, but deepened the relationship between the two, and the rest of the people will inevitably have their own hearts. During the Taige dispute, Chang Zhenzhi and Chen Bingxiang were repaired. Although it is still Pi Runmin's horse boy at the moment, there has long been a rift in the relationship, but the civilian-official group is still competing for hegemony, and they have to have a support. At present, Pi Runmin's phase is unstable, and Zou Degui and Zheng Qifeng, two powerful people, do not seem to be favored by Guo Xing'a, and they all have strange thoughts.
After the generals rushed to Chengde, Guo Xing'a didn't make any big moths, but just moved out of the summer resort and took the generals to the field to set up tents. There was no lecture, no personnel adjustment, Guo Xing'a seemed to be really just looking for the generals to hunt, and took hundreds of generals to play crazy in the paddock. Every day, it is either a horse shooting or a campfire barbecue, and the consumption of alcohol is more than that of bows and arrows and ammunition.
On the last day of hunting, Guo Xing'a hunted a lot, and even shot a bear with Qianlong's bow with his own hands. Guoxing, who was in a good mood, held a bonfire party again, and drank wine and food again. However, Pi Runmin and other ministers knew that there must be content tonight, because Guo Xing'a called all the civil ministers and military generals, and none of them were left behind.
"It's been years! Why did time pass so quickly? It feels like I'm going to fight you everywhere, just like yesterday! When the wine was half-drunk, the drunken and hazy Guo Xing'a really spoke.
"Yes! In a blink of an eye, more than ten years! Ji Ying was already drunk, and she couldn't find her mouth with the wine bowl.
"Damn, you bunnies, it seems that you were still squatting in the trench with Lao Tzu with a gun yesterday, how can you become a general in a flash. As soon as the mud monkey turned around, it was all fucking people! Hahaha......" Guo Xinga laughed loudly, but Pi Runmin felt a little cold.
"Thanks to the promotion of the general, everything is the grace of the general!" Nash felt that Goxinga's words were a little wrong.
"Let everyone come to hunt, eat and live in tents, it's hard for you! Over the years, I have been used to living in high-rise villas, and it is uncomfortable for a few people to be crammed into a small tent! Guo Xing'a held the table with one hand, as if he was unstable because he was drunk.
"Following the general out to shoot and hunt, everyone was overjoyed. These days, I have a lot of fun, how can I feel bitter! Jin Xi stabbed Ji Ying twice, Ji Ying did not react, Jin Xi could only come out to answer the call.
"Come out and play! Happiness is the most important thing! The emperor of the Qing Dynasty came to hunt every year, saying what kind of ancestral system. Lao Tzu also set a rule, in the future, we will come to hunt every year, and everyone will come out to play! Don't be afraid of hardship! Goxinga shook badly in his chair.
"We are all the general's soldiers, and we are not afraid of dying with the general, are we still afraid of hardship! The general took us out to play, let us stay with us, and everyone was even more happy! Li Zhi, who took the initiative to apply, shouted very loudly.
"Good! Da Lao Li said this well, Lao Tzu loves to listen! Remember, you are all Lao Tzu's soldiers, Lao Tzu's robes, we have lived and died together! I hope you are loyal, and I hope you are united, don't forget your original intention! Guo Xing'a raised the wine bowl, dried another large bowl, and then poured it directly into the chair.
"The general's admonition, never forget it until death!" After Guoxing's team building, everyone actually remembered the old days, these are veterans from the Gu'an Army, and they are quite touched by Guoxinga's words.
"Li Zhi! You have a message for all the brothers from the Han people, Lao Tzu never thought about the distinction between the flag and the Han, and now you are all flag people, Lao Tzu begs them, don't take me as a Tartar again! Guo Xing'a had already been helped back by someone, but he turned around and said a very damning word.
