Chapter 375: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead into the Future
The Battle of Zunhua ended quickly, and the last of the Manchu Qing fleeing central officers were wiped out, and some of the most stubborn troops became huge and extravagant funeral goods.
The capture of Zunhua by the Huaxia army actually ended the large-scale fighting in northern China.
In the city of Beijing, Luo Yang promulgated a document to the whole country, and also announced a fact to the ministers of the countries who were cowering in the city of Beijing: "Historically, the decadent and reactionary regime of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which brought calamity to the country and the people, has been eliminated by us, and since then, the Chinese nation has entered an era under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, and this is a new era, and the Chinese nation will enter a new period, open up diplomacy, treat people equally, use science and technology to promote economic development, seek the happiness of the people's livelihood, use force to strengthen national defense, stop the illegal acts of the world's gangsters, and safeguard fairness and justice." ”
Luo Yang sent a large number of people to various places, urging more officials in the former Manchu region to surrender, and to ensure their basic status and welfare, because the emperor and the empress dowager were called for hostages, the situation was quite good, and many provinces in the northeast (there were no provinces at that time, but only generals' districts,) and many provinces in the south declared their surrender to the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom,
Anyway, the Qing court has gone bankrupt, bankrupt, this company is gone, and they must find the next home, and the next home, the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom regime, although they are very worried and afraid, when they come to the front, they find that they are completely intimidating themselves, because the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom regime has issued extremely generous treatment, guaranteeing that within three years, all Manchu officials who surrender will not be reduced, and their original positions will be appointed, and those who have meritorious service during the period will be treated the same as the officials of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom. Carry out promotions,
In order to quickly stabilize the situation, Luo Yang also made many announcements on behalf of the government, such as the basic political system, measures, economic measures, etc., he announced that he would not carry out radical social reforms for the time being, and then according to the situation, Huaxia Tian ** guaranteed the legal private property of all people, not allowed to be deprived at will, guaranteed ethnic equality, guaranteed people's rights, etc.,
For a large number of Manchu officials, who were very famous and talented, and fled to their hometowns and mountains and forests because of the war, they were recruited and reused.
Thousands of work made Luo Yang very busy during this period.
On the issue of the formal establishment of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, Luo Yang also made an explanation, listing Beijing and Nanjing as the capitals of the country, and the civil government is temporarily in planning, while the two military governments in the north and south are temporarily in charge of the work, with Li Xiu in the south becoming the prime minister, and the north being in charge of itself; in order to ensure the enthusiasm of the veterans and officials in the northwest and Sichuan, he also announced that Sichuan is a special region, Zhang Suimou is the premier, the northwest is a special region, and Luo Bingzhang is the premier.
In just one month, the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom worked efficiently and prepared all the basic conditions for the establishment of a country.
What national anthem and flag, not to mention for the time being, there are only three major events, which are very important, one is the handling of Manchu officials and personnel, Luo Yang took very restrained measures, very tolerant, and tried to ease the mood of the subsequent confrontation, and even because of this, the generals of the Huaxia Army were dissatisfied.
For example, the captured Zhang Zhidong entered the political core of the Beijing regional regime of the Huaxia Army and became an important assistant to Luo Yang, and then, through Zhang Zhidong, he recommended many people,
For the generals of the Qing army Xiangyong who were imprisoned in Nanjing, they were all escorted to Beijing, Luo Yang personally received them, and the empress dowager of the two palaces of the former Qing State came forward and repeatedly advised, and finally, forced Zeng Guoquan, Liu Songshan, Liu Jintang and others to surrender,
Zeng Guoquan's surrender was the most dramatic, he would not have surrendered, but after looking at the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, he was stunned, he had never believed that the Huaxia Army had taken Beijing City, and he also arrested the two Queen Mothers and the Emperor.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty." The embarrassment of the Manchu Qing's top three great achievements and his gratitude for the grace of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom impressed Zeng Guoquan deeply.
"Guoquan, the trend of the times, you don't have to be rigid anymore." The Empress Dowager of the West already knew that the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom was not trivial, and the death of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was irretrievable, so she could only take advantage of the situation, and the hospitality and forgiveness of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom made her admire it very much.
"But, the Queen Mother, I, the minister can't." Zeng Guoquan cried, and even bit his arm for this and bleed,
"If you are a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, then follow the palace and mourn and change." Empress Dowager Xi felt that this guy was too contrived and expressed contempt,
In front of Luo Yang, Zeng Guoquan maintained his majesty,
"General Zeng Guoquan, are you willing to fight for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation?" Luo Yang made a persuasion gently, talked about the international environment of the great power competition and the life-and-death international environment faced by the Chinese nation, and implored him to work together for the country and the people.
"Alas, someone really couldn't have imagined that I would be defeated by the bandits." Zeng Guoquan Road,
"Go, it's not you, you're not qualified, it's the Manchu Qing defeat, you're just a small chess piece."
"Sure enough."
Because Zeng Guofan was still resisting, Zeng Guoquan hesitated, and in the end, Luo Yang gave him ten days, saying that Huaxia Tian** valued his military talent very much, and decided to appoint him as a general, "If you want, the governor of Liangguang can try." ”
Zeng Guoquan was suddenly pleasantly surprised,
Zuo Zongtang's situation was much better, and he had already surrendered, so Luo Yang appointed him as the governor of the two provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian, and instructed him to immediately open a military port in the Mawei area of Fujian, prepare for the construction of a navy, and build an arsenal as large as possible.
The rest of the people were arranged, so that many old Manchus joined the power of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom.
Second, to eliminate the stubborn resistance of the Manchu army, in the northeast region, there are tens of thousands of Qing troops, blindly opposing Huaxia Tian**, they are the birthplace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, naturally have feelings, so, Luoyang sent 7,000 troops, artillery, cavalry and infantry mixed, advanced into Liaoning, and then advanced into Jilin, defeated and annihilated, and later, stationed in the three districts, consolidated the control of the northeast, and Hunan, Zeng Shihe's troops and Sichuan Zhang Suimou's troops jointly attacked, and surrounded Zeng Guofan's army to death, Although Zeng Guofan mobilized another 100,000 Xiangyong in Hunan, however, it was only the courage of the horseman, lacking the armament of foreign guns, under the blow of the Huaxia army, a complete defeat, Zeng Guofan committed suicide again, another attempt, and was rescued, because, the conditions for the political persuasion of Huaxia Tian** arrived here early, although Zeng Guofan fought to the death and did not surrender, but his subordinates have understood that the big event has gone, the emperor and the queen mother of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have surrendered, what kind of dog tail are you still fighting to the death, one day, he woke up, I found that I was tied up by a rope and threw myself into the Huaxia army, for Zeng Guofan, it was still sent to Beijing, and the emperor and queen mother of the Qing court spoke by example and persuaded him, and in the end, he also surrendered.
Li Hongzhang was more embarrassed, he was captured early, along with so many generals, after being escorted to the capital, he was embarrassed at first, and later, seeing that everyone had changed their faces and changed their minds, he also followed the trend and surrendered, but because of his crime of massacring prisoners of war, he did not arrange much good positions, but his subordinate generals, Liu Mingchuan and others, arranged well,
Qing army general Bao Chao was defeated and committed suicide, it is a pity, Peng Yulin, the commander of the Hunan army's navy, responded to the call of the emperor and the queen mother, surrendered, so he was placed in Tianjin, and asked him to prepare for the Beiyang Navy.
The third thing is to negotiate and communicate with the great powers.
