Chapter 449: The Emperor's Southern Tour

"In addition to the combined fleet of the Oros and the Wa Kingdom, why should Europe organize an eight-nation alliance to invade the Chinese Empire, which has no dime with them?"

In front of more than 10,000 of the country's best students, behind them are the brand-new school buildings, playgrounds, laboratories, and the ruined Old Summer Palace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Without waiting for the students to answer, Hu Zhen continued: "Let's take a look at the ruins of the Old Summer Palace behind us, it is the evidence that the British and French forces in Europe are wreaking havoc here thirty years ago, they are used to riding on the heads of the Chinese nation, and now that we have changed the land, they will panic, they will still ride on our heads for a hundred years, a thousand years and forever, so they want to use their industrial advantages to send the most powerful fleet expedition in the history of mankind to our new country, everyone said, can we agree......

"No, no, we can't say yes......," the students yelled and go, the sound of which shook the room.

"Yes, we resolutely cannot agree, we want to completely defeat these tigers, leopards and jackals, realize the re-rise of Great China, and we must strive for the rise of China......"

"Strive for the rise of China!"

A student in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, I want to join the army to defeat these tigers, leopards and jackals." ”

"Your Majesty, I also want to join the army to fight!"

"Your Majesty, we all have to join the army to fight!"

The students asked to join the army to fight the invaders.

Hu Zhen listened, raised his hands and pressed down, signaled everyone to be quiet, approached the microphone of the amplification equipment and said loudly: "Everyone's mood, I understand, but you are all students, is the hope of the future of the Chinese nation, the rise of the Chinese nation depends on you, now your responsibility is to learn, for the rise of China to learn more scientific knowledge, in the future with the knowledge learned to build China, protect the ...... China."

After the completion ceremony of Beijing University, Hu Zhen walked directly to the railway station by car, and the convoy was full of migrant workers busy repairing roads and bridges on the roadside, and the railways and highways crisscrossing the suburbs of Beijing stretched into the distance.

Hu Zhen looked at the hot construction site scene through the glass window of the car and nodded.

In order to quickly stabilize the domestic situation, he decided on the strategy of cash-for-work, and used more than 400 million yuan worth of Chinese dollars transferred back from Europe, mainly to build railways, roads, water conservancy and other infrastructure construction, and now it seems that the effect is good, and the domestic situation has been calmed down in less than a year, so that most of the people wholeheartedly support the newly established Chinese Empire.

Seeing this, Hu Zhen took out a document from his briefcase and looked at it:

"In the first year, the Chinese mainland will build 2,000 kilometers of railways, 20,000 kilometers of roads, and 10,000 kilometers of water conservancy facilities, and in the second year, 3,000 kilometers of railways, 30,000 kilometers of roads, and 7,000 kilometers of water conservancy facilities......"

Hu Zhen sighed to himself: "If there is no more war, this kind of construction will continue, and the speed will be faster......

The more Hu Zhen thought about it, the more angry he became, and he gritted his teeth and said, "...... Hmph, it was you Europeans who forced the Chinese Empire, don't blame me for being polite, then let your entire European financial market completely become the ATM of the Chinese Empire, and use your source of money and wealth as the driving force for the construction of the Chinese Empire......"

When Hu Zhen was thinking about destroying Europe to develop Great China, the driver in front said: "Your Majesty, the train station has arrived!" ”

When Hu Zhen got off the train, he found that the platform was already full of people seeing him off.

Among them were the heads of government departments led by Imperial Prime Minister Li Hongzhang, the military personnel led by Su Wenzhen, Chief of the General Staff, and Hu Zhen's family: Han Yuqing, Zhong Ling, Kaorani and others who were holding their children, and when they saw Hu Zhen appear, they hugged Hu Zhen and surrounded him.

"Didn't I tell you not to come?"

"The emperor is going on a long journey, and the concubine must come!"

Hu Zhen stopped talking, hugged the child in Han Yuqing's arms, kissed it, shook it, and saw the child laughing, so he also smiled: "Stinky boy, I laughed when I saw my father!" ”

"Your Majesty, have a safe journey!" Zhong Ling and Kaorani stepped forward and bowed to Hu Zhen.

Hu Zhen returned the child to Han Yuqing, took the hands of the three women and said, "You stay at home well, I will be back soon!" ”

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are in danger, don't get too close to the front line!" Although the empire has a strict secrecy system, Han Yuqing and other harems do not know Hu Zhen's whereabouts, but they have some premonitions about where Hu Zhen is going.

"Alright, I promise you, I will come back safely!"

After saying goodbye to his family, it was his turn to see off the others in front of the mountain.

When Li Hongzhang stepped forward to say goodbye, he attached it to his ear and told Hu Zhen a message: "Yuan Shikai, the plenipotentiary minister of the Goryeo Japanese State, sent a telegram in Liaodong, saying that the people of the Goryeo Peninsula could no longer hold on under the strong oppression of the Japanese army, and had found the descendants of the king of Goryeo and wrote a letter of dedication, saying that he would dedicate the Goryeo Peninsula to our Great Chinese Empire!" ”

"Ahh That's good news! Hu Zhen smiled slightly, but in an instant, he gritted his teeth and said, "Tell Yuan Shikai to ignore them for a while and hang them aside for a while!" ”

"Your Majesty, will this change later?" Li Hongzhang was very worried, he had suffered a lot in the two countries in the east, and now one country was voluntarily incorporated into the Chinese Empire, but Hu Zhen had to wait.

"Li Aiqing, it's okay, this Goryeo Peninsula can't fly out of our palms!"

"Now that the combined fleet of Oros and the Japanese state and the fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance are coming one after another, won't the Goryeo people regret it again when they know about it!" Li Hongzhang couldn't put his mind at ease.

"Humph! If so, then they should have been killed by the Japanese army! You can rest assured, I promise, I will definitely take the Goryeo Peninsula into the pocket of the Chinese Empire! ”

Li Hongzhang had doubts, but had to follow Hu Zhen's order: "Your Majesty...... This...... Well, the minister told Yuan Shikai like this, asking him to do what the emperor wanted! ”

When Su Wenzhen came forward, he also told Hu Zhen a good news: "Your Majesty, more than 50,000 plateau troops who have undergone special training have entered Lhasa, Tibet from Hoh Xili, Xikang, and Golmud respectively, and the process is very smooth, almost no resistance has been encountered, and the living Buddha and **** have expressed that they will obey the decree of the Chinese Imperial Government and obey the emperor's will, and our troops are now marching to southern Tibet, and it is estimated that they will be able to advance to the border line in the spring of next year!" ”

Hu Zhen was very happy to hear this:

"Very well, tell us that the officers and men of the plateau troops marching towards southern Tibet may at any time engage the British colonial army coming from the direction of India!

In addition, with only 50,000 troops, this number is still a little less to protect the peace of millions of square kilometers of land, and the number of troops must be multiplied after the situation of transportation, logistics, and supply in Tibet improves. ”

"Yes, our people have figured out that the climatic conditions in Tibet are really as the emperor said, many people in the army have altitude sickness, fortunately, there are measures to deal with it, and they started to march after being fully prepared, and the losses suffered are not very large, everything is under our control."

"Is there any change in Lao Maozi on land?" Although the Oros Army has been crippled by the Huaxia Army, its Siberian Front has not suffered any blows, which is something that Hu Zhen is worried about.

"Your Majesty, since the heavy snow in winter closed the road, the Hubei army has completely disengaged from our army, and for some time, there has been no battle above the battalion and company level!"

"Now that the road has been closed by heavy snow, the border areas occupied by our army are all remote areas with difficult road traffic, and the logistics support is not easy, if it is really unsupportable, don't go down, let our troops retreat a little back!"

"Yes, please rest assured that the General Staff will definitely arrange it!"

After explaining everything, Hu Zhen walked to the door of the train, waved to the people who came to see him off, then turned around and walked into the train, and ordered the train to depart and start the southern tour. (To be continued.) )
