【1053 Unification of China】
"Two princes, I'm sorry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info my left mule is a bastard. Zuo Zongtang faced Prince Alcohol and slapped his mouth.
Prince Alcohol dismounted with a smile and hurriedly grabbed Zuo Zongtang, "You didn't kill me, where did you not live with me?" Well? Don't think about it so much, didn't I also take refuge in Hua Guo and Hua Jun? After surrendering, I slept and ate well every day, not to mention how peaceful I was, and I really had enough of the days of fear. ”
Zuo Zongtang smiled bitterly: "It's me who is stupid, it seems that I can sleep soundly tonight." ”
Xuan Jianzhang said with a smile: "Who is General Liu Jintang?" ”
Liu Jintang was taken aback, he was not far behind Zuo Zongtang, I don't know why he suddenly called him, did he kill too many Chinese soldiers? Or did he commit something?
Zuo Zongtang was also stunned and asked, "Master, what are you looking for Liu Jintang?" ”
Xuan Jianzhang said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, although the president is already so big yesterday that General Liu Jintang strongly advocated fighting to the death with the Chinese army, but the president said that as long as General Liu Jintang can sincerely belong to the Chinese army, we can give priority to the general as the trainee brigade commander of the cavalry brigade of the first field division of the Chinese army, and we are ready to form a cavalry brigade with a mixture of Chu cavalry and Chinese cavalry, and sweep the whole of China with the cavalry brigade to complete the work of clearing bandits in the mountains." In the future, wherever the cavalry brigade goes, it will show the military might of our Chinese army~! ”
Liu Jintang heard Xuan Jianzhang say this, it turned out that the president still knew that he advocated fighting to the death with the Chinese army yesterday? Immediately knelt down, "It's me who is confused." ”
Zuo Zongtang hurriedly said: "Liu Jintang has always advocated surrender, but I am confused, and I finally want to fight for face in front of the president, and it is not Liu Jintang's business." ”
Xuan Jianzhang smiled, "Why did you kneel down again, didn't I know what I just said?" They all surrendered, the president is not to blame in the past, and you are welcome to be a trainee brigade commander, this is the most important military rank from the Qing court, and after you follow me to make meritorious contributions, then go back to Beijing to thank the president in person. ”
Liu Jintang didn't say a word, and kowtowed vigorously in the direction of Beijing, "I, Liu Jintang, have been loyal to the Chinese country all my life, and I will never dare to have two hearts!" Long live Huaguo! Long live the Emperor! ”
Xuan Jianzhang smiled, held Liu Jintang's hand and said, "Okay, this is a soldier!" However, you still have to humbly study the program of the Huacui Party, humbly lean towards the party, and humbly accept Huaguo's military training arrangements. ”
Liu Jintang said seriously: "It's not difficult, let me eat, I'll eat." ”
Xuan Jianzhang scolded with a smile, "What kind of do you eat?" Can't say nonsense, our Chinese army doesn't like this, everyone is a colleague, and it's best to use less swear words in the future. ”
Liu Jintang touched his head with a smile, and everyone laughed.
Zuo Zongtang also wanted to stay in the Chinese army and continue to follow Xuan Jianzhang to unify all places, he believed that he could make contributions, but he didn't dare to recommend himself, besides, now that he surrendered, there would be no big opposition to the Chinese army that could pose a threat to the Chinese army, and he was not needed, anyway, the person who surrendered in the end was really disadvantaged, in terms of status, it was one layer lower, and besides, he surrendered like this, almost forced to surrender.
Dong Fuxiang personally went out of the city to reward the army and meet Xuan Jianzhang.
Although among this group of people, it is naturally Xuan Jianzhang's highest level, Xuan Jianzhang is the elite of the elite of the Chinese army, the ace division in the ace army, the division commander of the first field division of the Chinese army, and the five division commanders together are not as good as Xuan Jianzhang, the division commander, not a joke.
Xuan Jianzhang warmly received Dong Fuxiang and expressed his gratitude.
Zuo Zongtang and Liu Jintang also met with Dong Fuxiang affectionately.
Zuo Zongtang also praised Dong Fuxiang for his insight, "Fuxiang, you are good, it is the most correct choice for you to join Huaguo one step earlier, I am always confused." ”
Dong Fuxiang sweated, and he didn't know whether Zuo Zongtang was saying the right thing or the opposite, so he hurriedly said: "Dashuai, don't be too sad." ”
Zuo Zongtang smiled, "Are you sarcastic about me?" I'm telling the truth, the thing I regret most now is that I surrendered a full year late, wow, if I had been attached to Huaguo when I went to meet the president of Central Asia Province, and now Huaguo can unify the whole country half a year earlier, it is all my fault, and I regret it a lot. ”
Zuo Zongtang was quite happy in the first half of his words, but as he talked later, he shed old tears again, and everyone comforted him.
The people had a day off, for the troops were quick to recuperate, and they were all soldiers and generals who were accustomed to war.
Zuo Zongtang returned with the army, and the rest of the things were basically completed by Xuan Jianzhang with Liu Jintang and the newly formed cavalry brigade.
The main force of the entire First Field Division of the Chinese Army will also return to Beijing from Xi'an City with Yixuan, Prince Alcohol, Zuo Zongtang and others!
This time, instead of walking, they - by train!
The opening of the railway from Xi'an to Beijing marks a very solid step in the development of the northwest of China.
As soon as Zuo Zongtang arrived in Xi'an, he was full of emotion, remorse, hating himself for knowing that he was going to surrender, why didn't he get ahead of Li Hongzhang in the first place? Now Li Hongzhang has become a great hero, but he is not bullshit!
The key is that Zuo Zongtang is still very worried about Li Hongzhang's safety.
Coincidentally, Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang, the two old brothers who originally went from the old Hunan army, from Zeng Guofan's subordinates, to the high-level of the Qing court, no one obeyed anyone, but they seemed destined to depend on each other.
As soon as Zuo Zongtang came, Li Hongzhang's injuries were mostly healed and he was able to sit up.
Zuo Zongtang was overjoyed when he saw that Li Hongzhang's complexion was good, and left tears in his eyes, "Shaoquan, it's okay if you're okay, it's okay if you're okay, I'm afraid you'll have something to do these days." ”
Li Hongzhang smiled, "Your Lord Zuo is fine, how can I be fine?" Don't worry, I'm going to keep arguing with you. ”
Zuo Zongtang smiled bitterly and wiped his tears, he seems to be crying very much recently, he has no meritorious service, he was forced to surrender, and now he feels that everyone is a level higher than him.
Li Hongzhang comforted Zuo Zongtang and said: "Don't cry, you finally know that you have lost your way, and it is good to be alive." ”
Zuo Zongtang nodded, "That's right, at our age, what do you expect?" It's good to be alive, I'll stay with you, and when you recover from your injuries, we'll go back to Beijing together. ”
"Okay, this is great, I have someone to relieve my boredom." Li Hongzhang laughed, touched the wound, and coughed violently a few times.
Zuo Zongtang hurriedly helped Li Hongzhang gently stroke his back, "Rest, the coming day will be long." ”
With the news of Zuo Zongtang's surrender back to the capital.
President Meng delivered a speech to the whole country the next day through the Central People's Radio Station of Huaguo: "China has fully unified China, and now the land of China is the most extensive in history, and in two years, our land area has doubled, and the population has doubled!" This is inseparable from the efforts of the Huacui Party, the Chinese army, the people of all classes in China, and the people from all walks of life, thank you! ”
President Meng's speech was very short, the emperor, hehe.
However, the people of the whole country suddenly rejoiced, and everyone looked forward to this day.
Although Huaguo's strength is not enough to win the world, we all know that the days when Huaguo was beaten are gone forever.
Generally, when the country was founded, generals and officials would not be rewarded, and the same is true of Huaguo, which has passed two years from its establishment to its unification.
President Meng never mentioned the reward, because this is no longer a feudal society, but the list of winners was published through the Huacui Evening News.
There is no ceremony, and all kinds of medals will be officially distributed to the winners, which is an honor, and President Meng did not let everyone wait too long.
"President, Huaguo has finally unified the world." Princess Katrina Kafu happily stood beside President Moe.
Jie Gege also happily congratulated Xuan Yuemeng: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”
Liu Yuqing smiled slightly: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”
"Your Majesty, do you want to celebrate?" Princess Katrina Kaaf asked.
President Meng smiled: "Now, the reunification has finally been completed, but now if it is not a New Year's Day, don't celebrate." In fact, we have long been unified in form, and now we have only completed the reunification in practice, so don't spend too much time, otherwise, people who write history in the future will not be able to figure it out. ”
Princess Katrina Kaaf smiled.
Jiegege covered his mouth and smiled, "Your Majesty, it's the first time I've heard that the emperor still thinks about people who write history." ”
President Meng smiled, he used to be a street writer who wrote history.
"Now the DPRK and Japan are in serious trouble, and Korea must complete the substantive reunification as soon as possible, and now it is only a formality, and there are still one-third of the inhabitants who are residents of North Korea, and if these people oppose reunification, it will be very troublesome, and they must all move to Siberia!" After President Meng was happy, he continued to talk about work.
Princess Katrina Kafu nodded and said: "We have been arranging, but after all, North Korea is not a Han residential area, on the one hand, the North Koreans are unwilling to leave, on the other hand, the Han people do not like to go to North Korea, they are willing to go to Central Asia Province and Siberia, I don't know why." ”
President Meng smiled: "I know why, it's very simple, because, the aborigines of Siberia and Central Asia provinces are white, and it is easy to distinguish from the Han people, and the North Koreans and the Han people are really not separated, so we must complete the reunification of Korea as soon as possible and completely dissolve the Korean ethnic group into the ethnic group of our Han people." Let them become Han Chinese completely! It will take five to 10 years, but within a year, we will have to complete the migration. ”
"Okay, Your Majesty, I'll arrange it right away." Princess Katrina Kafu smiled.
President Meng also smiled: "If you like to be called the president or the president, call the emperor, I am a little awkward to listen to it, you are all my women, or call the president naturally." ”
Princess Katrina Kaf, Jie Gege and Liu Yuqing saluted together, "Yes, general name." ”
President Meng said with a smile: "The food problem that we must pay attention to below, industry must be carried out, the land of the whole country cannot be barren, the comprehensive arable land plan must be implemented as soon as possible, step up the cultivation of three crops of rice, and vigorously promote high-yield crops in the south and north, Huaguo is most afraid of food problems, because we are a large population, relying on the supply of the South Seas, it is not enough, besides, the South Seas and the South Asian Peninsula are not in our hands!" ”
"Yes, I took note, President." Princess Katrina Kaaf hurriedly agreed.
A month later, President Meng met with Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Yixuan and Prince Alcohol, who had returned to Beijing.
The Qing court no longer exists, and everyone is like a world away.
President Meng smiled: "You're welcome, don't kneel, get up." ”
The four of them were originally kneeling, but when they heard President Meng say this, they could only get up.
President Meng smiled indifferently, "Although I am now the emperor, you are all my elders, and besides, we in Huaguo do not have the etiquette of kneeling, and officials don't have to kneel when they see me." ”
Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "It's better to be Huaguo, and it's good to have new etiquette." ”
President Meng smiled: "In the future, I still have a lot of things to ask Consultant Li for advice from time to time, teacher, you just stay by my side, be my senior advisor to Huaguo, a few of you, stay in Beijing, you can also walk around, in the future, this world is a free world, if you have any ideas, you can come to Consultant Li at any time." ”
