As Yu Guozhen said, the railway engineering corps is actually a technical soldier in the reserve, otherwise, Ma Dabao would not have been able to get such a high salary just by selling his strength.

"Tianjin Wei was lost, I saw it in the newspaper, but it was only because there were not enough people, so I lost it." Ma Dabao said: "I want to be a soldier, protect Huaxia, and kill the enemy!" ”

The words are very simple, and it is indeed the sincere idea of this peasant-style little cunning man. Yu Guozhen could feel his enthusiasm and patted him on the shoulder with emotion: "Old Ma, the work you are doing now is no worse than being a combat soldier, in three years, you will build the railway to Jinan Mansion, which is better than anything else." ”

"Uh......"

"And don't worry, in this war, when I also use you, I am going to build the railway from Jinan to Tianjinwei, which has been planned for a long time, and will start during the war." Yu Guozhen said again.

"Well, at this time, build a railway?" Ma Dabao felt that something seemed wrong.

"It was originally a military secret, but now it has been revealed to you, if this railway is built, I will transfer troops to Beijing as soon as possible, as long as the entire north retains 5,000 to 10,000 troops, it can be transferred by railway at any time, from Jinan Mansion to Beijing Division, it will be two days at most."

Speaking of this, Yu Guozhen thought of one thing: "Since you are already a third-level infrastructure worker, you should be the grassroots backbone of the engineering corps, why are you here now?" ”

"I'm here to see my goddaughter, I haven't taken much vacation for two years in a row, and I've accumulated a lot of vacation." Martha Bao Road.

"Then you hurry up and accompany your daughter. It is estimated that in less than two days, the notice will come to you, asking you to end your vacation early. Yu Guozhen patted Ma Dabao's shoulder again: "Good students to learn, good students to do, level three...... If you reach the ninth level as soon as possible, you will be as majestic as a governor. ”

In order to reward excellence and diligence, a special worker rating system has been established under the Huaxia system, and all craftsmen start with apprentices. There are 10 levels upward. The first-level craftsman is an apprentice, who takes a grade sticker with a basic salary of 10% per month, and so on, and when he reaches level 10, he can get a grade sticker that is double his salary. Moreover, Yu Guozhen also stipulated that when he reaches the fifth level, he will enjoy the corresponding power and political status. For example, a fifth-level craftsman can be on an equal footing with the factory in the factory. The right to give their own opinions on the production and management of the factory. When you reach the sixth level, you enjoy the same treatment as the county order, and you have a seat when you see the county order. And if it reaches the ninth level, it is the governor-level treatment, and the tenth level is released, then it is the king of craftsmen, and he can enjoy the same security and treatment as Yu Guozhen.

This kind of treatment is more of an honor, and Yu Guozhen came up with such a system. In a way, the rating system for workers is compared to Jinshi flower arrangement. It is precisely to meet the cultural tradition of the Chinese nation that attaches great importance to honor since ancient times.

"Ninth Level...... Thirty years, to say the least. Ma Dabao smacked his tongue: "The commander is busy with affairs, so I'll leave first." ”

After saying that, he saluted, and walked back in a real panic. If there was really a notice coming, he really had to say goodbye to his adopted daughter first.

"The commander's means, even his own people have been fooled." Following Yu Guozhen, Mao Yuanyi, who was already a bit of an old lady, smiled.

"I'm just telling the truth...... I think Dorgon will get the news soon. Yu Guozhen said with a smile.

On July 21, the 19th year of Chongzhen, in the Shenyang Imperial Palace, a gloomy cloud pressed on the top of the palace city, and Ning Wanme, Fan Wencheng, Hong Chengchou, and Zu Dashou four Hanchen fish penetrated through the Daqing Gate and entered the palace.

Qingning Palace, the middle palace, was originally supposed to be the emperor's residence, but now Fulin is still young, and Dolgon's regent affairs often stop here. There are quite a few rumors in the palace that he has repeatedly had private meetings with the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai here, and when he thought of this, Fan Wencheng couldn't help but glance back at Hong Chengchou.

There are also rumors in the outside world that the reason why Hong Chengchou surrendered after the defeat was because the Queen Mother Bumu Butai had a spring breeze with him in prison. Fan Wencheng didn't believe this, this must be some disgruntled Hanchen chewing his tongue behind his back, and there was a strong rancid smell of party strife behind it.

The person who is most likely to spread this popularity is that person.

They didn't wait long in the main hall of Qingning Palace before they met Dolgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, and the person who followed Dolgon.

When he saw that person, Fan Wencheng lowered his head slightly, his face was calm, as if there was no jealousy at all. But he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, and Ning Wan's cheek twitched slightly, which was a sign of gnashing of teeth.

Ning Wan I am narrow-minded and gambling, for which I have been treated coldly for many years, and now I have changed a lot, but what has changed is the outside, not the heart. However, Fan Wencheng had some hope in his heart, and I couldn't help but jump out and fight with that person.

He and Ning Wan disliked that person, not only because of their own repulsion, but also because of jealousy. That person is Chen Mingxia, who was originally a Jiangnan figure, one of the giants in the literary world at this time, and friends with Wu Changshi, Wei Xuelian, Zhou Zhong and others, and can be regarded as the queen of Donglin. After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he also took refuge in Li Zicheng, but when Wu Changshi and the three fled south, he failed to make the trip, and later Wu Sangui entered Beijing, and he could not return south, so he voted for Dolgon.

Because he was very famous in the south, unlike Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan, who were not famous, and as soon as he came, he wrote a series of letters to invite Dolgon to ascend the throne, so Dolgon was even more pleased. even climbed to Ning Wan I and Fan Wencheng, two Hanchen for many years, and became Dolgon's confidants.

When he and Dorgon came out, their faces were smiling, and they seemed to be more relaxed.

"You've been waiting a long time." Dolgon casually said politely, but did not tell the four kneeling men to stand up.

The four of them could only kneel in front of Dolgon, and Chen Mingxia was at ease in Dolgon. Dolgon coughed: "The latest issue of the People's Livelihood Express was sent to the four adults. ”

Immediately, an internal supervisor sent four copies of the "Minsheng Express", and the high-ranking figures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were no strangers to this newspaper, and they now often judge the situation and strategies in the south from this newspaper.

The four of them read the newspaper silently, although Zu Dashou's writing is not good, but "Minsheng Express" mostly uses vernacular, and he doesn't seem to be struggling. Seeing that they had all finished reading, Dolgon asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, Yu Guozhen first chased Sun Zhiqi, was rude in the front, and then threatened the Northern Expedition, and raised troops behind, I would like to ask you to judge together, what kind of strategy Yu Guozhen will adopt in this battle." ”

He looked at me first, but I was silent after Ning, and then at Fan Wencheng, Fan Wencheng also shut up. Hong Chengchou buried his head in his chest and didn't say a word, while Zu Dashou simply closed his eyes, as if dozing off.

"Four Aiqing, this is not just my business, it also has something to do with you, you have also read it in the newspaper, the names of the four of you are all listed in the list of traitors, Yu Guozhen wants me to hand you over."

In this issue of the newspaper, there was a list of people who were identified as "traitors" by the Huaxia Military Strategy Committee, and all five people present were on the list. The armistice conditions given by Yu Guozhen to Jianlu were that Jianlu disbanded the Eight Banners, withdrew to Jianzhou, handed over all the traitors, and executed all the Aixinjue Luo clans.

Chen Mingxia looked at these people with disdain in his heart.

Seeing that everyone still didn't speak, he said with a long sigh: "Your Highness, Weichen has a few foolish opinions. ”

"Okay, you say."

Dolgon was a little disappointed, Chen Mingxia was a civil servant and didn't know how to fight, it was very difficult to expect him to tell any reason, but the four in front of him were silent, so Chen Mingxia could only throw bricks and lead the way.

Of course, he will never discuss real military affairs with Han ministers like Chen Mingxia, and only they are Manchu, and only the nobles among the Manchus can make the decisions.

"First of all, Yu Guozhen must be preparing to fight a big war, if he is not preparing to fight a big war, he would not have made such a big publicity, without his meaning, this newspaper would not mention the word Tianjin Wei at all. Secondly, the scale of Yu Guozhen's mobilization this time is very large, the total number is close to 100,000, and the newspaper said that it will be transported to Shandong in batches - even with Yu Guozhen's sailors, it is impossible to transport 100,000 people across the sea at the same time, and from what this newspaper says, the transportation volume of 20,000 people has been completed this month, so I estimate that when the real war starts, it should be December. Third, Yu Guozhen's main direction of attack should be to recover Tianjin Wei first, and then attack the Beijing Division, because there is one thing mentioned in this newspaper, I am afraid that you have not paid attention to it, that is, he is preparing to build a railway from Jinan Fu to Tianjin Wei, and the construction will start this year. ”

Zu Dashou was still dozing, Hong Chengchou glanced at Chen Mingxia, this scholar read the article carefully, it is no wonder that finding chapters and extracting sentences was originally one of their Donglin's housekeeping skills.

Dolgon was also a little surprised, he originally thought that Chen Mingxia could only talk in general terms, but he didn't expect to talk about three points, pointing out the scale of the war, the time of launching and the direction of the battlefield, some of which were secretly in line with what he thought in his heart.

"Chen Mingxia is reasonable, Wen Cheng, what do you think?"

"It does make sense." Fan Wencheng said calmly.

The corners of Hong Chengchou's mouth twitched slightly, Fan Wencheng was really a slippery head. His little expression was seen by Dolgon, who asked, "Chengchou, tell me." ”

Hong Chengchou took a slight breath, and then said, "Beware of Liaodong." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ning Wan and Fan Wencheng both moved their eyebrows, and even Zu Dashou, who had been dozing off, suddenly stared round.

"Cheng Chou, what do you mean is that Yu Guozhen is bluffing, in fact...... Is he trying to fight Liaodong? ”

"Yu Guozhen has a sea advantage, if I were him, I would make a big show here, and then attack the east and the west, seize Phi Island, land from Zhenjiang Fort, raid Jiulian City, pass through Tangzhan Fort, Phoenix City, Tongyuan Fort, Lianshan Pass, Weining Camp, Fengji Fort, Baitapu, and attack Shengjing, before and after 20 days."

Dolgon's gaze froze, if so, it was indeed very tricky!

"This should be the policy that Inspector Hong set for Qianming at the beginning." Ning Wan said lightly.

Hong Chengchou ignored him, and Ning Wan finally spoke, which made Dolgon look forward to it a little more: "Everyone says that Yu Guozhen is a Han person, only you Han people understand the Han people best, I want to win the world in the Qing Dynasty, and I can't help you Han people!" ”

Zu Dashou closed his eyes again, still dozing off.
