Naturalized Li Mansion, Li Yu took Yilan, Su Tai two ladies and the fourth Li Liao, the young daughter Bailing to Liaodong, the eldest Li Meng to participate in the Western Expedition, the third Li Qin went to Yangzhou, only Wulan, Wu Langha two ladies and the second Li Jin, the eldest daughter Skylark stayed in naturalization, the Li family seems to be divided, but in the eyes of Datong senior officials, there is a deep meaning, Li Jianji, Bao Zhen was busy in Datong, and hurriedly made an appointment with Dege, Tulu Baihu, and Gao He to rush to Li Mansion - it is indeed too much to make the president's rise and fall secretly, and it will definitely not work if you don't explain it clearly, but it is still a step too late, Deputies Gunchuk and Hang Gao, Senator Bin Tu, Secretary General of Titang Fan Erxi, and Director of the Inspection Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Ma Shizhong have already arrived first.

Fan Erxi had just been transferred back from Hangzhou to take over as the director of the Titang Division, and he was furious when he heard the news, and he went to the Li Mansion to show his loyalty: "A group of ungrateful things, I'm so angry, if it weren't for the fact that the Titang Division doesn't have the right to inspect affairs in the territory, I would have to order the arrest of people!" ”

"Gunchuk and Hang Gao can testify, I am desperately opposed in the house, but others ignore me, sister, you quickly call your brother-in-law back and dissolve the house." Jintu also said angrily to Wu Langha.

Gonchuk and Hang Gao immediately nodded: "We also voted against!" ”

Ma Shizhong's ability to lead troops was poor, and he was transferred to a civilian official by his father Ma Guangyuan, and at this time, he also patted his chest with cowhide: "There is no need to trouble the president, I will send someone to seal the parliament." ”

"Little brute, the two ladies have their own ideas, why do you need to do it!" Sister-in-law Ma saw that her son was not pleasing to the eye, and couldn't help but scold her mouth - something happened to the Li family, and among the several female generals, except for Yang Wan who held a funeral for her husband Mao Yuanyi and Wang Xiaoliu went to Liaodong to find her husband Busai, the other sister-in-law Ma, Liu Naren, and Wu Ya all came.

"It's not about the Civic Party, it's the idea of the Liberal Party......" The people in the room were still discussing, Gao He suddenly entered the door and shouted, and Li Jianji, Bao Zhen, and Dege behind him were so angry that they stomped their feet.

"What are you doing here?" Ulan asked sharply.

"We, we're here to report to the party leader on the situation in the party." Bao Zhen replied with a red face.

"You have become bigger, and you are less and less concerned about the Li family, and the leaders of the Liberal Party and the Civic Party of our sisters have done their best, and they dare not listen to your report." Wu Langha sneered.

Li Jianji immediately said: "The Li family in Pingyang is absolutely loyal to the president, I told the parliament that the president's enthronement ceremony must be held in a grand manner, and the official documents submitted to the young president in the future must also be copied to His Majesty, please rest assured that the two ladies have us to assist the young president, and this world is still the Li family." ”

"We have discussed, we must not treat the president badly, give 200,000 to the royal family every year, and the Flying Tiger Battalion is also used as the royal guard, the food and salary are provided by the federal government, and a large piece of land can also be allocated to Your Majesty." Bao Zhen added.

Wulan smiled contemptuously: "There are many emperors in Datong, who is rare for you to seal the broken throne, forget the enthronement ceremony, the Li family can't afford to lose people!" ”

"The Li family is not short of money, the money donated to the school and the hospital every year is more than 200,000, and the land does not want yours, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty loves my family elm the most, and has already left hundreds of acres of land for my family in the Puhe hunting ground, and the Gulu Siqibu of Karaqin is also willing to partner with my family to build a summer resort, which is bigger than the Baoketu Manor, and I invite you to play in the future." Wu Langha replied

Li Jianji and Bao Zhen closed their mouths in embarrassment, and Derge stood up and said: "Old Derge has been with the Li family for so many years, what am I The two of you know best, what do you and your sisters say, as long as you can do it, you will do it." ”

Wu Langha replied with a smile: "You can do it, tax free, the Li family's property is tax free." ”

Derge was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, just kidding, the Li family's Black Eagle Trading Company has a banknote shop, a factory, and a trading house, and its business is all over the world, and the tax is hundreds of thousands a year, who dares to promise tax exemption.

"Madam, spare us!" Li Jianji and Bao Zhen immediately shouted.

The women all laughed, and Ulan waved his hand and said: "The Li family is not stingy, and the tax that should be paid will not be less, but you are too cunning, maybe you will sell the Li family one day, so there must be people from our sisters in the house." ”

Understood, the two sisters were going to install the women's party in the house, and Gao He asked timidly: "Two ladies, can you, can you change the way?" ”

Ulan's face was blank: "That's not good, either it's tax-free, or our sisters' people will enter the house, and you can do it." ”

"I can't do it, let's all go back and resign!" Li Jianji shouted again, pulled up Bao Zhen and was about to leave.

Derge stopped Li Jianji, thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, how about a few jury seats?" ”

"No, when a woman enters the House, it's a joke to spread it, where do we put our faces!" Bao Zhen waved his hand again and again.

"Why not, we Mongolian men are away all the year round, and the housekeepers are all women, all of them are fine, it's not a big deal to give a few jury seats!" Tulubaihu didn't care.

Li Jianji and Bao Zhen were angry, and immediately quarreled with Derge and Tulu Baihu, Gao He hurriedly pushed them out of the door, and after a while, the five of them came back and asked in a low voice if the two jury seats were okay.

"At least three!" Ulan replied with a finger.

Three is three, and a few guys gritted their teeth and agreed, but they were sad in their hearts, but many years later they boasted that thanks to their foresight to invite women to the court, the Bundestag was greatly reduced in the number of cases of indiscriminate entanglement and fighting, and thus became a model of civilization for the parliaments of all countries under heaven.

Shenyang, when Beijing changed its name to Youzhou, the city also changed back to its original place name, but the old and young masters of the Eight Banners don't care, they are busy making internal strife - there have always been contradictions within the Eight Banners, the Ula people, the Yehe people and the Jianzhou people have a grudge against the clan, the Shuerhaqi family and the Nurhachi family have a life lawsuit, the two red and two blue flags have been bullied by the two yellow and two white flags for a long time, the Mongolians and Han people are not used to the arrogance and domineering ...... the Manchurians, and the external pressure was huge before, these guys had to survive in a group, and once the resentment broke out immediately, Fighting for power and fighting between them has intensified, and officials have tried to stop it, but no amount of coaxing or threats have helped.

The three inner courtyards of the original Qing court have now been changed to the Commander's Office, and the officials are busy with the rotation, going in and out as if shuttling, but the backyard seems quiet, in a hall, Ding Wensheng, the former governor of Shandong of the Qing court, is reading out a letter from Datong - this guy was appointed as the assistant government affairs of the Liaodong Commander's Office because of his meritorious work with Luo Jinxiu and Chen Jin in the "partial republic", and he was in charge of secrets.

Yan Jizu was a little gloating after hearing the letter: "The Prime Minister's Office instructed to disband the Eight Banners, and the military and civilians were incorporated into the guards, which is consistent with our thoughts, and to be honest, the Eight Banners really can't be maintained." ”

"The Eight Banners were originally something that Nurhachi forcibly drummed up, anyway, everyone is determined to split up, so let's disperse, hand over the Yehe people and Ula people to me, and I will take them out of Zhenbeiguan." Ge Curi waved his hand and said, he was not yet hot in the post of governor of Shenyang, and he was ordered to go to the Songhua River and Heilongjiang River basin with Luck Dehun to build two river provinces, and he was eager to have more people in his hands.

Sonny patted the table and said: "I have no opinion on disbanding the Eight Banners, but the letter said that the president was awarded the title of Emperor Tian Khan, and the second son took over as president. ”

"According to the Datong Constitution, we listen to the federal government, and the president has always been worried about whether the federal power can be smoothly transferred, and this result is not bad." Chang Shu said solemnly.

Busai asked cautiously: "The president is still in Lushun, how can I explain this matter to him?" ”

"I'll take a trip to Lushun." Chang Shu waved his hand, and suddenly remembered something again, "Did Bumu Butai also go to Lushun?" ”

Everyone's look is weird, they want to laugh but don't dare to laugh - Yilan and Sutai two ladies arrived in Liaodong to do business, not at home all day long, that Bumu Butai is restless, there is nothing to do and always go to the president's side, the president is frightened, and wants to send her back to her parents' home, but the princes of Horqin replied that their women can't go back to their parents' homes if they marry and give birth to a son, since the president is kind to the emperor of the Qing Kingdom, he simply even takes his mother away, the president refuses to accept the recruitment, and simply goes to Lushun, but Bumu Butai also chased after him a few days ago, This time it's a big problem!

Lushun, rebuilding homes, improving people's livelihood is the top priority of Liaodong, the federal government has chosen a shortcut - the construction of Port Arthur, the development of industry and commerce with the sea as the road, and the development of Liaodong, merchants from all over the country have heard the wind and come to build iron works, carpentry mills, shipyards and ......, the size of the land has gathered more than 100,000 people in a very short period of time, Fort Arthur has also been upgraded to Lushun Province, and has jurisdiction over Jin, Fu, Hai and Gai four prefectures.

Li Yu stood on the castle tower and looked at the harbor in the distance, where it was still a big construction site in full swing, shook his head slightly and said: "The action is too slow, at least two docks will be built by the end of the year!" ”

"Lack of labor, the common people in Kannai have land and don't want to come to Liaodong to suffer, fortunately, there are Japanese immigrants recruited by Mr. Saigo to maintain the start of work, president, you have to find a way to find someone for me." Chen Jin, who was in charge of Liaoyang and Lushun, replied with a sad face.

"I also lack labor, the land in southern Liaoning is fertile, the water system is longitudinal and horizontal, the climate is not too cold, and it is no better to grow rice, but no one can do anything!" Minister of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Duren also went to Liaodong after inspecting Zhili, and asked Xixiang Youjiang after complaining to Li Yu and asking Xixiang Youjiang, "Can you send more immigrants?" ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Saigo, the Japanese brothers are hard-working, and their work is fine, and I want as many people as they come." Chen Jin is from Li Yongfang's lineage, and his grandfather also went to Korea to fight, and he didn't welcome Japanese immigrants very much, but now he wants to have as many as possible.

Saigo Youjiang shook his head: "Japan is poor, the common people have no land to grow and no food, and there are some who are willing to come to Liaodong, but there are not enough boats, and more than 50,000 people came in less than two months, which is already very amazing." ”

"Then go to Korea first, and then enter Liaodong by land, and we will be responsible for the rations and guards along the way, the king of Korea and the Japanese shogun are all wretched, we will say hello, and we will definitely not dare to stop it." Chen Jin said eagerly.

Saigo Youjiang thought for a while and said, "It's just like this, but Liaodong is so big, some things still have to be done slowly." ”

Mo Rige hurried over with Chang Shu, Li Yu waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse, and then strode up to meet him.

"Let's take a look." Chang Shu handed over the official document, and said with a smile, "Hermes-Epitek, congratulations, do you want me to prepare for the enthronement ceremony?" ”

Li Yu also smiled after reading the official document: "Forget the enthronement ceremony, save it from being passed on to make people laugh, anyway, I don't lose anything, I got two emperors at once, and I haven't been in vain in my life." ”

"I really don't know what you think, but you have to retire in the prime of life, are you willing to create the great cause of the Federation?"

"You haven't experienced it, I was by his side when Lao Khan died, it's so dangerous, if it weren't for Amin Belle to save me, how would I have survived to this day, people can think openly, leave early and enjoy happiness early, in the future, if you are confused and don't want to retreat, you will cause trouble to future generations," Li Yu smiled faintly, waved his hand and continued, "Forget about this matter, you reply to Datong, you must annihilate the Rakshasa army on Lake Balkhash, and I will be completely relieved to win this battle." ”

"Next February is the twentieth anniversary of the first Kuku and Tun war, do you want to go back to Datong?"

At this time, Xiao Fulin suddenly appeared under the fort wall, opened his throat and shouted: "Brother Erlu, it's not good, my mother is here to bring you chicken soup again!" ”

"We'll talk about it then." Li Yu ran away with a smoke.

On the November of the third year of the Republic, on the shore of Lake Balkhash, a heavy snowfall turned the earth white last night, countless tricolor eagle flags were waving in the wind on the snow, and the phalanx of the Datong Army quietly stood under the banner of the army - those who volunteered to participate in the Western Expedition were veterans of a hundred battles, they rushed to the Western Regions from the east at an alarming speed, and broke into the territory of the Kazakhs after a little reorganization, and the Rakshasa Army was also eager to fight to reduce the consumption of supplies, and the main force immediately rushed to the east, and the decisive battle between the two sides was about to break out.

On a high ground behind the military formation, the generals of the Western Expeditionary Army were stamping their feet and waiting for the big battle to come, Batur poured a few sips of soju, waved his hand and shouted, "Drink a few sips, you can smoke if you want", after saying that, he lit the cigarette and smoked it beautifully, and the high ground quickly became a miasma.

"Great Commander, there are 50,000 or 60,000 Rakshasa troops plus Kazakhs, is our army retreating a few miles a little and waiting for the militia behind to arrive before fighting?" Zhang Ruoqi, secretary of the Western Regions Commander's Office, suggested in a low voice, this guy has been an official of the Ming State Military Department, but he first surrendered and then surrendered, and he still has the bloody case of the Jiaozhou massacre of missionaries and religious people, and he was imprisoned after surrendering to the Datong Army.

"On what basis? I know the virtue of the Rakshasa ghost best, it looks scary, but in fact it is stupid and stupid, and it has no tenacity, so it can only do some bullying and stealing chickens and dogs," Batur waved his hand disappreciatively, took a deep puff of cigarette and cheered up his generals arrogantly, "The more ruthless you are, the more afraid they will become, until they kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, our army will undoubtedly win this battle, and after this battle, we can probably drink wine and sing songs and go west." ”

A team of scouts galloped quickly, and stopped before reaching the high ground - Su Hongfei, the commander of the scout battalion, ran up to the high ground and reported, "The Rakshasa ghost is less than ten miles away from us, and our sentry officer Bai Wenxuan and the captains Ai Nengqi and Feng Shuangli took the initiative to meet the enemy scouts and beheaded them at the fifth level", after saying that, with a wave of his hand, Bai Wenxuan took Ai Nengqi and Feng Shuangli to step forward and threw five bloody human heads on the snow.

"You are very brave, I announced that the head of a Rakshasa ghost will be rewarded with ten copper plates, do you want it?" Batur said with a smile, and the people around him burst into laughter.

Bai Wenxuan and the others have been in the Western Regions for almost two years, and they have long been accustomed to the style of the Datong Army, so they replied nonchalantly: "Save it first, and then reward it if you have enough silver coins." ”

"I'll prepare two silver coins for you," Batur nodded with satisfaction, turned to the generals and said, "The guests are here, go to work, remember, fight to the death, and not let one go." ”

Soon the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was heard in the west, and the Rakshasa army was overwhelming, and the Kyrgyz leaders began to wear armor, they had always been subservient to the Dzungars, and it was the rule to start a major battle.

"It's not your turn to take the lead today, and if you contain the Kazakhs, you will be considered meritorious." Batur waved his hand and raised his clairvoyance to look to the west - the opponent's war horse was really good, tall and strong, fast and fast, but the soldiers were like bandits, no, more like farmers, not only did they have very little armor, their weapons were messy, and they didn't have cotton clothes to wear in winter, and the formation was also chaotic.

"Asari, you are in command," Batur felt grounded, patted Asari's arm, and then said to Batu, "I have a few bottles of fine wine, how about we drink and watch the fight?" ”

The trumpets sounded, the Kyrgyz launched the first attack, and the high ground on both flanks of the Western Expeditionary Army immediately burst into artillery fire and gunsmoke, and the dense artillery flew towards the Rakshasa Army. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Rakshasa army, the Kyrgyz rushed up to fight with the Kazakhs, and both armies were cavalry, moving while fighting, and the battlefield was gradually led to the north by the Kyrgyz. At this time, the fourth and fifth towns of the Western Expeditionary Army launched a cavalry formation, like an iron curtain began to advance slowly, and the cavalry of the Rakshasa Army quickly caught up, but they were beaten by the dense guns.

Datong Iron Cavalry took advantage of several consecutive rounds of salvos, quickly replaced the horse gun in his hand with a bow and arrow, and at the same time made a beautiful turn on the spot, with the Mongolian cavalry is best at looking back at the arrow while fighting and retreating, and when approaching the formation, it turned again and moved to the two wings - the Rakshasa cavalry cavalry was not good at riding and archery, and a small number of arquebuses were not powerful, and the impact was delayed by the dense arrow rain, and they could only bear the casualties and continue to pursue, and finally approached the enemy formation, but more than a dozen huge dense infantry formations suddenly appeared in front of them, and countless artillery pieces were placed in the front to reveal a burst of murderous aura, They couldn't help but restrain their horses!

Before the Western Expeditionary Army, Father Deng Ruoshui held a cross in his hand and shouted: "Children, the Rakshasa Kingdom blasphemed God's will, resisted the holy Pope, and usurped the throne of the Eastern Roman Empire, this is a vicious, barbaric and tyrannical country that should be destroyed, the people of Europa support your righteous actions, fight, you are brave crusaders, God will bless you, and the Datong Federation will win!" ”

"Victory, victory!" With the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, countless cross flags appeared in the military formation.

"Datong letter, the House of Representatives named the president as the Emperor of the Heavenly Khan, brothers, win this battle and make contributions to His Majesty the Emperor!" Wang Fang held the tricolor eagle flag and galloped in front of the battle.

"Long live the Emperor of the Heavenly Khan, long live the Datong Federation." The soldiers brandished their weapons and shouted excitedly.

"It's all useless nonsense," Batur frowned, and drank his glass with him, before shouting to the guards, "tell the brethren that after killing all the rakshasas, their land, women, and possessions will be divided among the people." ”

"There is a widow at the head of the village, with a round ass and a water snake waist......" A strange song of yin and yang soon sounded in the military array, and the soldiers raised their weapons and looked at the slowly approaching Rakshasa soldiers with a cruel smile.
