The Ministry of Intelligence has been working hard for many years, and has planted a lot of dark lines in the Qing court, and has mastered the whereabouts of the two giants of the Qing court, Cixi and Guangxu, as soon as Hu Zhen asked about this, Chen Zichao stood up and said: "According to our intelligence, Cixi and Guangxu have now fled to Lanzhou, and are now gathering ministers, deploying troops, and preparing to counterattack us to the east!" ”

"How is the Qing court's troop arrangement?"

"The Qing court still has nearly 800,000 troops, but most of its elite were annihilated by the Japanese army in the first battle of the capital, and the remaining elite are mostly divided in the eastern Jianghuai, Jiangnan, Hebei, Shandong, and Central Plains, and only Dong Fuxiang's department stationed in Xinjiang in the northwest can be regarded as elite, and in the southwest there are Su Yuanchun of the Gui army and Cen Chunxuan of the Yunnan-Guizhou army still have the strength to fight, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Sichuan, and Yuan Shikai, the governor of Henan, are forming and training a new army by the holy decree of the Qing court, and the combat effectiveness is estimated to be not very strong."

After hearing this, Hu Zhen stood up and said:

"Although I really want to concentrate our army to deal with the Japanese army, don't do those things that are insider in the civil war and outsider in the foreign war, but I have to allocate some energy and troops to sweep the country, so arrange it, Su Wenzhen, chief of the general staff, sits in the capital, coordinates and sweeps away the remnants of the Qing court in the country, Ouyang Yu is the commander-in-chief of the pursuit army, and comes with additional troops in Nanyang, and immediately forms an army of 150,000 people, which is specifically responsible for tracking and attacking the main force of the Qing court, first advancing westward along the Longhai Railway, sweeping Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, smashing the gate of Tongguan, and entering Xi'an, Assault Lanzhou, chase to the ends of the earth, seize the remnants of the Qing court, quickly calm the domestic situation, and lay a good and stable foundation for our army to fight against the Japanese army and future foreign wars! ”

"Yes!" Su Wenzhen and Ouyang Yu both stood up and took over the important task given by Hu Zhen.

"Actually, in domestic affairs, the military is an auxiliary means, and the economy and people's livelihood are more important, Su Wenzhen, you can talk to you about the preparations for taking over the domestic power!"

It turned out that Hu Zhen had a plan in his heart, arranging for the wise Su Wenzhen to coordinate the overall work of taking over the local power in China, and then arranging the calm Ouyang Yu to be in charge of military affairs. It is hoped that the war with the Qing court will be ended as quickly as possible in China, the harm to the people will be minimized, stability and peace will be restored quickly, and the entire Chinese mainland will be transferred to economic construction.

"Yes. In order to take over the whole of China, we have drawn up a detailed and meticulous plan, and have dispatched 400,000 grassroots officials and 500,000 backbone police personnel to prepare to take over all areas of justice, taxation, transportation, industry, agriculture, and so on. The second step is to extend to the inland zone according to the military progress, and at the same time, among the industrial and commercial enterprises in Nanyang, they have begun to transfer to China on a large scale, among which the state-owned heavy chemical enterprises have taken the lead and have entered Guangzhou, Wuchang, Tianjin and other places, and the next step is to enter Shanghai......"

Listening to Su Wenzhen talk about Shanghai, Hu Zhen interjected: "Shanghai has the most foreign concessions, will there be any diplomatic disputes when taking over Shanghai?" ”

After all. Foreigners can't see Huaxia getting better, and Hu Zhen is also most worried that foreigners will deliberately make trouble, and even directly interfere in the war with the Wa State to delay the rise of Super Huaxia.

Zheng Dingbang said: "After the navy has annihilated the combined fleet of the Japanese state, it has already freed its hands, as long as four battleships are left to assist in landing in the Dalian area of Arthur, and watch the Oros Pacific Fleet in the direction of Vladivostok, the rest of the battleships can go south to the waters near Shanghai to deter the warships of the major powers and make them dare not cause trouble!" ”

Yang Yonglin is determined to make a little contribution. Following Zheng Dingbang's words, he said: "In a few days, some warships of the Beiyang Naval Division can also participate in military operations, and they can be dispatched at any time to increase the deterrent power against the Japanese ** team and foreigners!" ”

Zheng Dingbang glanced at Yang Yonglin. Nodding his head, he said, "The officers and soldiers of Beiyang are very familiar with the waterways of Lushun and Shanghai, and they can lead the way for us respectively!" ”

Hu Zhen nodded and agreed: "Okay, just like that, we will send two battleships to the south to deter the foreigner fleet in Shanghai and assist the army to successfully take over Shanghai, which is the most prosperous economy in China!" ”

Su Wenzhen was very happy: "There is great assistance from the navy. We have no problem taking over Shanghai! ”

Hu Zhen once again issued instructions: "After you take over the political power in various places, the first step is to stabilize the situation in the localities, the second step is to try to develop the people's livelihood economy in the localities, you can carry out some construction of roads, bridges, rivers, ditches and water conservancy projects, attract local people to work, earn wages in Nanyang currency, and enhance the vitality of the local economy, the third step is to quickly set up schools, absorb local school-age children to go to school for free, as for the industrial construction, it will be carried out in accordance with the local industrial plan of the industrial Huaxia, how is the implementation of the financial budget." ……”

Hu Zhen has been immersed in military operation planning these days, and he has not been in charge of money and budget matters for a long time.

Because of the overall situation involving the entire Chinese mainland, Su Wenzhen is still very clear about this: "Fan Qianhai has arrived in the capital, Zhang Suan is also on his way home, the budget is fully implemented in accordance with the regulations, and it is being implemented steadily......

Hu Zhen was very happy when he heard the news of Zhang Suan and Fan Qianhai, although he did not know much about the specific financial data, but he still had a grasp of the general data, so he decided to give an explanation to the soldiers present:

"As for the financial matters, I would like to give you a bottom line here, and you have a good idea in your mind: The military budget for the northward march into China is 400 million yuan, but our transportation distance is too far, and almost every bullet and shell has to be shipped from Nanyang, and it is estimated that the military budget will be overspent by about 15 to 20 percent......

Yang Yonglin was shocked when he heard it: The Huaxia Army has such economic strength, it is really terrifying! Unexpectedly, a military budget of 400 million taels of silver (one yuan of Nanyang currency is exchanged for one tael of silver) was taken out at one time, and what enemy could not defeat!

In fact, it is better to say that the Beiyang Naval Division was defeated by the combined fleet of the Japanese army because of the incompetence of the Qing court, but it is better to say that it was defeated by the combined fleet of the Japanese army because of the lack of budget.

At a time when the whole country was thrifty and the whole country was running a navy, the Qing court used the budget of the naval division to build the Summer Palace, and the Beiyang naval division planned to use hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to purchase some small-caliber rapid-fire guns, but they couldn't do it, how could they not be defeated by the Japanese army?

Some people later calculated that out of the 280 million taels of silver indemnity paid by the Qing court, as long as 10 million taels of silver were used to transform the Beiyang Naval Division, the combined fleet of the Japanese State might be wiped to ashes.

However, the numbers that Hu Zhen said later made Yang Yonglin so shocked that he almost fell out of his eyes. (To be continued.) )
