Lady Catherine smiled indifferently: "Because the president has already said it very clearly, otherwise, how can I draw it?" It is true that the president has a high talent in architecture. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

President Meng smiled and said, "I don't have any talent at all, where do you see that I have a talent in architecture?" ”

President Moe and Lady Catherine, Princess Katrina Kaf, arrive at the Benxi front line under the escort of Wang Zhankui.

Along the way, I watched the progress of the laying of the railway.

"Be careful, the president will be here soon!" The commander of a company of the Construction Corps said in a loud voice to the DPRK workers who were hurrying to build fortifications that many of these workers had come from the northeast and the Central Plains.

President Meng's Danzhou, now the first-class national certificate is actually the members and family members of the Huacui Association, about 100,000, there are more than 500,000 second-class national certificates, all of them are Han Chinese, as long as the performance is recognized by the members of the Huacui Association, the Han people have the opportunity to obtain the second-class national certificate, the third-class national certificate is actually very few, because the third-class national has to rise from the fourth-class national to do it, a small number of skilled foreigners have obtained the third-class national card, or just came to agree to become Danzhou nationals in advance.

Fourth-class nationals are the largest, with 16.7 million people, mostly displaced and Koreans.

President Meng did not discriminate against the Koreans, he did not regard the DPRK as an independent nation, the Koreans are very dependent, and there is no clear hatred of the outside world like the Japanese, mainly because of the geographical conditions, and the North Korean is very close to the Han people in terms of writing, language, and living habits!

There is also a bureaucratic system, which is almost entirely modeled after the Chinese bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as the North Korean has lived in Danzhou for more than half a year and removed some of the accents, it is difficult for him to find out that he is a North Korean, and their accent is like that of someone from Shandong.

In terms of population composition, there are several problems in Danzhou, one is that there are not enough Han people, the Han people of President Meng need pure Han people, and the dependence is stronger, and then the time for Danzhou to be established is too short, and the children born in Danzhou have grown up, no need to ask, they are the most hardcore, this is their home, but now, everyone, including President Meng himself, is a foreigner.

Then there are not enough women, 90% of the more than 2 million people are singles!

This is a very serious problem, the main Meng president does not want North Korean women, and can go to other places to beg for a living, generally young men, several children in the family, there must be men who go out to beg for a living, fourth-class nationals and third-class nationals, such people account for the majority.

President Meng thought about buying women in Jiangnan, although most of his first-generation house slaves were bought by President Meng, but now he is hesitating whether to use this way, after all, it is not good to spread out!

All the women of a country are bought, what is this like? Therefore, President Meng still hopes to go with the flow.

When President Meng arrived, the tens of thousands of people on the construction site stopped their work together and stood in a horizontal line.

President Meng said: "Do whatever you have to do." ”

Wang Zhankui stood upright: "Yes!" ”

Immediately went to convey the president's order, and the officers and officers of the construction corps hurriedly asked people to continue their work.

At first, President Meng liked this feeling of the stars holding the moon, after all, it was a pure sling in modern times, but for more than a year, since the founding of Danzhou, he didn't like this very much, and the personality cult can't always be in contact with people, and he instead yearns for the life of ordinary people who are rich and noble.

How can you be rich and expensive and be embarrassed by ordinary people? is yearning for the life in the Yanei, but unfortunately, he can only rely on himself, and there is no way to be a rich second generation or an official second generation in a down-to-earth manner, and the national environment does not allow it.

"In this section, even if there is no war in the future, it can be converted into a warehouse or factory." Mrs. Catherine suggested to President Moe.

President Meng nodded, "It's hard for you, if you think so far, there really won't be a long-term war here." ”

"I really don't want to fight, but one by one, the fortifications still can't be sloppy, I checked a lot of positive information, and now several military fortresses in Danzhou have reached the most advanced standards of this era." Lady Catherine said.

Princess Katrina Kaave watched President Meng and Mrs. Catherine talk, and suddenly found that President Meng was talking to Mrs. Catherine as if she was talking to Zhao Qingluo, very careful and patient.

President Meng didn't have a deep conversation with Mrs. Catherine, "I have already arranged for someone to take Sophia over, Mr. Timothy Li's work in Tianjin, I also asked Dali to find someone to replace it, Mr. Timothy Li can come to Danzhou, in this way, you don't have to be separated all the time." ”

Lady Catherine hummed and did not continue the subject.

President Meng is still confident in the battle situation in the Northeast, as long as he survives this long-term conflict with the Huai Army, for a long time in the future, the Danzhou Army and the Huai Army should be fine, after all, President Meng doesn't like to always fight with his own people.

President Moe looks at the problem from the perspective of a decision-maker! He was disgusted with the Qing court and foreign races, but he only regarded the Qing court as a minority, and did not hate them to the point of killing them all, and he was done with ousting them from power.

But in this process of ousting from power, President Meng does not want too many people to die, the dead are all his compatriots, all Han, all Chinese, how many Manchus will charge and fight? At this time, the banner man could not draw the bow for a long time.

President Meng looked at the Huai Army position on the opposite side with a telescope, they were all temporary positions built of stones, and they were also from the side of the Danzhou Army, but was this useful?

The positions of the Danzhou army are all cement slabs plus cement and concrete, even as permanent fortifications.

The Huai army also did not have the opportunity to build strong fortifications, mainly because the Danzhou army fired at least one round of artillery every day.

"From today onwards, three rounds of artillery bombardment a day will force them to compress the defensive line and rush to the periphery of Benxi!"

Lu Kangtian was stunned, "What does the president mean, bombing Benxi City?" ”

The Danzhou Army had limited shells, and Lu Kangtian did not understand the president's intentions.

President Meng nodded, "There are not many ordinary people in Benxi, and now they must have run out, and they won't give the Huai army a chance to stay for a long time!" After a long time, they set up a grain and grass warehouse in Benxi City, and they would be reluctant to leave, so they had to let them transport grain and grass from Shengjing to Benxi every day. In the long run, their logistics will not be able to keep up, and they will soon be frozen. ”

Lu Kangtian understood, and stood upright, "Yes!" ”

Princess Katrina Kafu looked at President Meng in surprise, President Meng didn't want to fight anymore, I don't know why he suddenly ordered to increase the intensity of the war, just after the big war, in fact, the Danzhou army also needs to rest.

President Meng expected that there were indeed no ordinary people in Benxi, and tens of thousands of Huai troops were stationed, and this small city had completely become a large military camp.

The military camp with the city is still very powerful.

Song Qing was also on the city wall of Benxi, and the shelling for days and days had not left Song Qing's anger.

"Alas, Qingshuai, I can't wait for the reply of the imperial court for a long time, and I haven't sent reinforcements, we are guarding an empty city like this, I really don't know what it means." Zuo Guigui to Song Qingdao.

Song Qing nodded and sighed, "It's because we didn't do a good job, although Lord Li Zhongtang didn't say it explicitly, he must have been unhappy." ”

Zuo Guigui comforted: "Qingshuai still don't worry too much, it's not Qingshuai's fault, it's that this Danzhou army is really capable of fighting, much stronger than long-haired and hairy bandits." ”

Song Qing sighed, "I don't know what to say about the imperial court, we must not let this Danzhou army become bigger, otherwise, there will be endless troubles." ”

Zuo Guigui nodded and said: "In this way, these people are like crazy, and they won't talk if they are caught." ”

When President Meng was inspecting the front, the guards reported, Xuan Hongtao, Chen Qin, and Xuan Zonglu came.

President Meng said strangely, "They are coming at this time?" It should be that the Qing court is coming to ask for peace again, hehe. ”

Princess Katrina Kafu was pleasantly surprised: "That's good, it's finally over." ”

President Meng smiled: "Almost." ”

I haven't seen my family for a long time, President Meng also thinks a little, although he is reborn, with the memories of his previous life, but these are always family members, President Meng has put down a lot of disgust with Xuan Hongtao, and the same is true for Xuan Zonglu, now Xuan Hongtao is the host of Jinhaiguan Province, Zhang Jing, second only to Chen Qin, and Xuan Zonglu is the governor of Liaoning, which can be regarded as a high authority!

"Please!" President Meng smiled, "Inform Fengcheng Xingyuan and greet it grandly." ”

"Yes!" Wang Zhankui immediately asked people to arrange it.

"Yue Meng." Xuan Zonglu smiled with sophistication.

President Meng smiled faintly, "Grandpa." My name is really not very good, and after a while, I will change my name. ”

Xuanzong Luqi said: "Change your name? Isn't it a nice name? Why did you change your name? What name are you going to change? ”

President Meng smiled: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it after a few years, Yue Meng Yue Meng, it sounds like a girl's name." ”

Xuanzong smiled and said to Chen Qin: "Lord Chen, don't see outside, my little grandson loves to joke." ”

Chen Qin saluted Xuan Yuemeng and said, "Meng Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xuan Yuemeng also saluted: "There is Lord Lao Chen who has come to this poor mountain and bad water." ”

Chen Qin laughed and said, "How is it a poor mountain and bad water?" Lord Li Zhongtang heard that there was some misunderstanding between the Huai Army and the Danzhou Army, so he specially asked me to come over and have a look, hoping to resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible. ”

President Meng smiled faintly: "Misunderstanding? Is it still a misunderstanding to rearm and fight on the border of Danzhou all day long? More than 20,000 elite soldiers pressed the border, and even brought 80 cannons, is this still a misunderstanding? Benxi was assigned to the city of Danzhou a long time ago, and it was taken away by you as a barracks, is this still a misunderstanding? ”

Chen Qin said with a smile: "This is all Song Qing, Lord Li Zhongtang has already reprimanded Song Qing, it's too unusual, it is indeed suspected of destroying the friendship between the Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom and my Qing court, I hope that Meng Gongzi can mediate from it, Lord Xuan, what do you say?" ”

Chen Qin was asking Xuan Zonglu.

Xuanzong said with a smile: "Yes, the imperial court definitely doesn't want Liaoning to have another mess, alas, the good situation that I have managed to stabilize is all this Song Qing, and as soon as he came to Liaoning, he wanted to fight with great fanfare." ”

"Yes, yes, I've already asked Lord Song, it's all a misunderstanding." Chen Qin smiled awkwardly.

President Meng smiled: "Let's not talk about this, Lord Chen, when you come to Danzhou, I must do my best to be a landlord, Princess Katrina Kaf, and arrange a good reception." ”

Princess Katrina Kafu blessed several people with Han women's etiquette, "Yes." ”

Xuan Zonglu and a few others thought it was funny when they saw that Princess Katrina Kafu was blonde and blue-eyed, but she was dressed in a military uniform and had the etiquette of a Chinese woman.

Chen Qin stayed in Danzhou for three days, President Meng warmly entertained, and the two sides reached a preliminary agreement to return Benxi, and within 100 miles of the Danzhou border, no more Qing troops were allowed to be stationed.

However, it was not finalized, because Chen Qin conveyed Li Hongzhang's intention that he hoped that the Danzhou army would return the captured eighty German Krupp breech guns, and all shells.

Of course, President Moe won't return it, but he ordered the front to stop the shelling!

Three days later, the agreement was finally finalized, and the Danzhou Army returned all the captured eighty German Krupp breech guns, and all shells, and released the Huai prisoners!

When the news came, Song Qing was also relieved, the Qing court did not send reinforcements, but sent Chen Qin, he knew that it was not possible to fight again, and he could end up in a draw like this, although he was not convinced, he could only do so.

On the same day, Song Qing began to arrange for the withdrawal of the army, leaving only Luo Guozhong and Luo Guoxiao with 2,000 men to guard Benxi, waiting for delivery, and retrieving 80 German Krupp breech guns, and all shells.

At night, Xuan Jianzhang led the Danzhou Army Officer Corps, which is now renamed the Hongpu Military Academy Teaching Brigade!

The military system of the Danzhou Army imitates the German system, with outstanding reserve officers selected from the army, and then formed a teaching brigade at the highest military academy, and then returned to the army.

Xuan Jianzhang gently pulled out his sword, "Fire!" ”

Two hundred artillery pieces, an artillery regiment fired at the same time, and Benxi suddenly burst into flames!

Song Qing in the camp, and Luo Guozhong in Benxi City were all taken aback.

The entire Huai army was awakened almost at the same time.

Under the fierce and sudden shelling, the city defense of Benxi was lost in an instant, and the 500-person Whampoa Military Academy Teaching Brigade attacked Benxi.

"Get up, get up for me, get ready to fight!" Luo Guozhong shouted angrily, although he lost to President Meng once, he is still a member of the general, especially in the recent Benxi War, Luo Guozhong's performance is the best and the most capable of fighting.

"Get your gun!"

"Where's my pants?"

"Stomping on my feet!"

"Don't mess around! Don't panic. ”

The military camp in Benxi City was in chaos.

The teaching brigade of the Whampoa Military Academy, which numbered more than 500 people, quickly attacked Benxi, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle outside the barracks.

Since President Meng had reached an agreement with the Huai Army on the same day, the two sides would no longer fight, and the guns and ammunition of the Huai Army had been stored and sealed.

After resisting for half an hour, Luo Guozhong's troops all disarmed and surrendered, and Xuan Jianzhang's troops took Benxi City.

There are 5,000 Mauser 1871 rifles, 1,500,000 rounds of ammunition, and 5,000 stone of grain and grass in Benxi City, all of which have been prepared to be transported away in the last few days. (To be continued.) )
