After making arrangements for Yuan Shikai, Hu Zhen did not dare to ignore the possibility of the Oros army attacking the Chinese mainland, and continued to arrange preparations for the battle in the General Staff: "Immediately notify Chen Zichao of the Intelligence Department, and immediately secretly cut off the cable and telegraph communication between the embassy and consulates in the capital and the outside world!" ”

"Why is that?" Du Ligao was very puzzled, and couldn't help but ask.

Su Wenzhen has been by Hu Zhen's side for the longest time, and Hu Zhen's order is understood, and he immediately knows the reason for Hu Zhen's arrangement: "This is to buy us time diplomatically, after the Oros Empire receives Cixi's request to send troops to the state, it will definitely make a diplomatic gesture, such as sending us an ultimatum of the letter of mourning to win the support of world public opinion, we will immediately cut off the telegrams of the embassies and consulates of various countries, and maybe we can buy us ten days and eight days!" We're not quite ready yet, and ten days and eight days are precious! ”

Hu Zhen nodded and praised: "Yes, it is such a plan, immediately send someone to inform Chen Zichao!" ”

"Yes!"

Hu Zhen: "Du Ligao, from today onwards, your air force will set aside some airships to monitor the Japanese mainland, and it will reduce the bombing of the Japanese mainland, and the main airships must do two things, first, prepare to participate in the big war against Ororos, and second, from now on, bomb the heavy weapons of the Japanese army on the Goryeo Peninsula, pay attention, it is to bomb the artillery, heavy machine guns and other heavy weapons of the Japanese army, so as to weaken the strength of the Japanese army on the Goryeo Peninsula and reduce the pressure on our army to face the Oros army and the Japanese army at the same time......

The advantage of Du Li Gao is that the execution is never compromised: "Yes! ”

"Zheng Dingbang, from now on, except for leaving a part of the destroyer fleet to continue to monitor the Japanese state, all the cruisers and large capital warships will be concentrated and divided into two parts, one part will maintain the superior forces of the Pacific Fleet in the port of Vladivostok and put it on alert on the eastern sea surface of the Goryeo Peninsula, and the other part will go south between the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca to stand by to protect our industrial base in the South Sea!"

"Yes!" Zheng Dingbang understands very well that the navy has the heaviest task to bear, and the area to be defended spans the entire Pacific Ocean, but it can only concentrate the main warships and prepare to face the large-scale attack of the combined fleets of Oros and even European countries, but on the other side of the world, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Panama, Hawaii and other places will inevitably cause the navy's main warships to be empty.

After arranging the preparations for the battle of the three armies, Hu Zhen looked at the map and pondered, planning to discuss several plans for the battle with the team of the General Staff, and a communication soldier came outside, saying that Li Haoran, Speaker of the National Assembly, Li Hongzhang, Prime Minister, Liu Dingzhuang, Deputy Prime Minister, and Zhang Zhidong, Minister of Industry, came to find the emperor together.

Hu Zhen met with these old men at a meeting of the General Staff Headquarters (Liu Dingzhuang was nearly 50 years old, but he was already full of gray hair because of his hard work in Nanyang day and night).

"Excuse me, what are you looking for!" Hu Zhen stopped a few old men who were about to kneel, he hated this kind of fake red tape the most.

"Your Majesty, the ministers always can't find the emperor, so I suggest that the emperor follow the example of the previous dynasty and set up an early dynasty system!" Although this Hu Zhen said that he had ascended the throne, he didn't like to move into the Forbidden City, Li Hongzhang often couldn't find him, and now he had to go to the General Staff outside the capital to find him, so he was quite resentful as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Ah, you can't find me, that's my fault, okay, you just draw up a detailed rules for the court meeting, and then implement them according to the detailed rules. But, didn't I say that I have authorized it to you, and as long as this imperial affairs are not a major matter, it is enough for you to deal with them! ”

Hu Zhen planned from the beginning not to do things like Zhuge Liang, and even punished a soldier and had to do it himself, wouldn't that be exhausting himself? In addition to the major policies that must be formulated by himself, the emperor is the master of the house, and the prime minister is generally responsible for handling things.

"Your Majesty, it must not be a trivial matter for the ministers to find the emperor!"

Hu Zhen looked at the expressions of several people and felt that this was definitely not a trivial matter, so he asked, "Ah! Tell me what is the big thing that you can't decide! ”

"Your Majesty, the first thing is to ask the emperor to take the throne of the palace!"

Hu Zhen didn't really want to move to the gloomy Forbidden City to live, so the three harems came to the capital, and they just found a house to settle down, but the old men felt that the emperor should look like an emperor, and they complained about it.

"It turns out that this is this matter, I think, as long as you live comfortably, why make it so complicated, the palace and the Forbidden City are so big, I have decided not to use eunuchs, only female officials, and the number of people will not be too much, how can my family live comfortably?"

Zhang Zhidong shook his head: "Your Majesty, this is detrimental to the royal prestige, don't do it!" ”

"I just want to live comfortably and safely, how can not living in the palace damage the royal prestige?"

Li Haoran also felt that this was excessive: "This is the practice of all dynasties, your majesty, don't go too far!" ”

"Didn't the emperor say that the power of tradition is very strong, and it is difficult for anyone to fight against it, and a little obedience is conducive to doing things?" Liu Dingzhuang is using the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son, using Hu Zhen's consistent remarks to force Hu Zhen.

Several ministers launched together, Hu Zhen was a little overwhelmed, so he had to say: "Okay, I also want to live more comfortably in the capital, the Forbidden City from the Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, I don't know how many killed souls and lonely ghosts are still wandering there, the popularity is not strong, I will not stay, but the west of the Forbidden City is not the Zhonghai and the South China Sea of Xiyuan, it is very good to have mountains and rivers, and the security guards are easy to deal with, and my family will choose one of them to live in!" ”

Hu Zhen is telling the truth, in the Forbidden City in history, I really don't know how many people died tragically in the Forbidden City, and because of this, the red palace wall with iron oxide similar to the videotape was used to record the images of some ancient eunuchs and palace maids during thunder and lightning, and then recorded and released when thunder and lightning were hit, which is really like a haunting, which makes people feel creepy. Hu Zhen didn't want his wife Han Yuqing to enter this gloomy palace with a big belly.

Seeing that Hu Zhen finally let go, although he didn't want to live in the palace of the Forbidden City, but he also lived next to it, several old men also breathed a sigh of relief: "Since the emperor agrees to stay in Zhongnanhai, the ministers and others will arrange it immediately, but there is one more thing related to the national body, please ask the emperor to canonize the queen of the main palace!" ”

Hu Zhen was a little annoyed, this is also a thing, but this is necessary for the nobles of Tianhuang, so he said: "Han Yuqing is the mother of the main palace, Zhong Ling and Kaorani are the queens or concubines of the side room, as for the title or something, you can think about it and give it to me for approval, but there is no need to make too much trouble with the canonization ceremony, just announce it to the outside world to show that there is this title!" ”

"Okay, Your Majesty, there is one more thing, we are now using the era name of the Heavenly Stem Branch, this year is the Jiawu year, what era name will the empire use in the future?"

Hu Zhen couldn't help but complain: "You guys are not bothered, the northern Oros is about to invade the army, and we are still here to talk about these things, this is to delay the military aircraft!" ”

However, several old men refused to back down: "Your Majesty, if the name is not right, it will not go well, and if it is not good, it will not work, the matter of this era name is related to the foundation of the Chinese Empire for thousands of generations, and the Oros army will not be able to come for a while and a half, even if it comes, it may not be able to get in, and the matter of this era name is better to ask the emperor to show it!" ”

Hu Zhen calmed down a little and thought about it, and felt that the name of the new dynasty was also inevitable, the so-called name of the Common Era, that was the birthday of the Western Christian Jesus for the first year of the Common Era, and it was inconvenient for the powerful Chinese Empire to use, and even a little lose face.

"The West uses the year of Jesus' birth as the first year of the Western Era, and now it is 1894, and I also want to make a Chinese own chronological system, using the year of the Yellow Emperor's birth as the first year of the era, I remember that this year seems to be the year 4591 of the Yellow Emperor's birth, and it is set as the year 4591 of the Chinese calendar, or simply called the year 4591 of the Chinese calendar."

The brains of several old men were still in the shadow of the era names such as Tongzhi and Guangxu, and they couldn't imagine that Hu Zhen would come up with such a grand chronology system, so they were stunned on the spot and had nothing to say.

Hu Zhen snorted: "Aren't many of our Chinese scholars like to study on the evidence, you go to organize the examination, is it appropriate to use this chronological system?" (To be continued.) )
