"Yu Jimin has been sharpening his sword for three years, and now it's time to try his edge."

Chongzhen put down the newspaper and muttered, Queen Zhou was busy knitting sweaters, and she didn't hear what he said clearly, but Princess Kunxing, who was learning to knit sweaters with Queen Zhou, heard it clearly, she raised her face and glanced at Chongzhen, and a pair of bright big eyes flashed with smart light.

"Father, what are you talking about?" She asked, holding back a certain joy in her heart.

"Yu Guozhen is going to war against Jianyu." Chongzhen didn't notice his daughter's abnormality, he sighed slightly: "This war will destroy the country." ”

"Wouldn't that be just right, Yu Guozhen can be regarded as avenging His Majesty." Empress Zhou heard it this time, and said casually: "Li Zicheng, Dolgon, get together." ”

As soon as they heard Li Zicheng, Chongzhen and Kun Xing's eyes involuntarily looked towards the god cupboard, just like the rest of the people in China, in the main guest room of Chongzhen, against the main wall, there was a god cupboard, on which the ancestors' tablets were enshrined, and in front of the tablets were several small plates, with rice, a small piece of dried tofu, and now there were more peanuts and a piece of corn. However, there is still a gold seal on Chongzhen's cupboard, Li Zicheng's imperial seal of the Dashun Emperor, when Chongzhen wrote a letter to Yu Guozhen to ask Li Zicheng's first achievement, Yu Guozhen did not give it, and replaced Li Zicheng's imperial seal.

"How did my father know that Yu Jimin was going to fight against Jianyu?" The crown prince next to him, Zhu Cihong, asked strangely.

"There have been a lot of stories in the newspapers about the abuse of the people recently, this is before the war started, public opinion goes first, and Yu Guozhen knows the essence of the same hatred and hatred."

Kunxing's heart was pounding, he hadn't seen Yu Guozhen for more than a year, although Yu Guozhen occasionally wrote to his father, and he would greet her in every letter, but ......

"Then Yu Jimin should come to Tamluo this time. I wanted to ask him a long time ago. When will you take me to Xinxiang by train! Zhu Cihong said with some joy: "In addition, he also said, as long as I have good grades." and give me a gift...... Hmm, I want a model of a steamship! ”

"I want it too, and my grades are not bad!"

Several princes discussed excitedly. As if mentioning a distant but close cousin. Chongzhen stroked his forehead with his hand and involuntarily smiled bitterly.

In Yu Guozhen's letters to him, many of them are discussing the education of princes and princesses. Moreover, in addition to writing to him, Yu Guozhen also wrote letters to the princes, paying attention to their studies, encouraging them to work hard, and praising their progress - indeed like a stern and loving brother. Every time Yu Guozhen came to Tamna, he would take these princes around, and even took them to the Wa Kingdom by steamboat last time. I climbed Mt. Fuji in Wakoku.

As a result, several princes have become admirers of Yu Guozhen, and they admire Yu Guozhen very much. Occasionally, Yu Guozhen's words were used to refute Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was also anxious. felt that Yu Guozhen had taken away his country and his son. That time, Queen Zhou, who had always ignored foreign affairs, was angry. With his children on his back, he called Thaksin King while crying, and asked him if he had to make these sons hate Yu Guozhen to the bone and then be killed by Yu Guozhen under an excuse to be satisfied. At that time, Chongzhen realized that Yu Guozhen deliberately took time out to care for these princes and princesses, not just to be bored or to show off in front of him.

"Hmm." He was thinking about Yu Guozhen, but his hand was touched by Queen Zhou, he looked at the queen, and Queen Zhou smacked her mouth slightly.

It was to Kun Xingyao's mouth.

Kun Xing was in a trance, with a touching flush on his face, his eyelids drooping, and his eyes were bright.

In the blink of an eye, Kun Xing, who was born in Chongzhen for three years, was already seventeen years old. As early as the year before last, Chongzhen intended to choose a son-in-law for Kunxing, and mentioned this matter to Yu Guozhen in a letter, but Yu Guozhen put forward a suggestion that surprised Chongzhen in his reply: The princess is still young, so it is better to wait for her to be a little older and choose by herself.

Chongzhen mentioned this matter to Yu Guozhen, and there was also a temptation, but Yu Guozhen's suggestion was like a brother who cared for his sister, and emphasized that the princess's husband must be of good character and be able to treat the princess with respect and affection. This made Chongzhen feel that Yu Guozhen was not interesting to Kunxing.

Now look at Kunxing's appearance......

Chongzhen suddenly had a strong sense of frustration, his sons admired Yu Guozhen one by one, and his daughter fell in love with Yu Guozhen - but this Yu Guozhen will also seize his own country!

"Ahem!" He coughed, and Kun Xing suddenly woke up, sat up straight, made no sound, and continued the needlework in his hands.

Empress Zhou sighed, if she was not the emperor of the Zhu family and Kun Xing was not the royal princess, then she would try her best to capture Yu Guozhen's kid as her son-in-law.

"Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen, where did you two go?" Chongzhen shouted.

In a blink of an eye, Cao Huachun ran in, Chongzhen has been fat in recent years, but Cao Huachun has lost weight, this is not because he has to be pampered in the capital, Chongzhen and his family are here, in order to save money, they have to grow their own vegetables and chickens. Don't say that he, even Chongzhen himself, can now raise flowers and weeds or something.

"Emperor, what do you command?"

"You go and ask Jiang An, when Yu Jimin will come to the island." Chongzhen snorted: "I want to see him." ”

Kun Xing let out a low snort, but then was swept by Chongzhen's stern gaze, and she suddenly understood that her father did not want to see Yu Guozhen for her.

After all, I still can't let go of his country.

A complex state of mind mixed with sadness and heartbreak mixed with self-pity instantly attacked the girl's heart. She didn't make a sound, hung her head, and struggled to control her tears.

Chongzhen ignored her, and in the next time, he was anxiously waiting, waiting for Yu Guozhen to arrive. On the sixth day of the seventh month of the nineteenth year of Chongzhen, seeing that the autumn harvest was approaching, Yu Guozhen finally came to Tamna by steamship, and with him came 55,000 Chinese soldiers.

At this moment, the news that the Huaxia Military Strategy Committee declared war on Jianyu has also shocked the world.

"Official, you haven't been here for a long time."

Jiang An is still called Yu Guozhen according to his original name, which is his prerogative, because strictly speaking, he has long been out of the military system and is not subject to military rules and regulations.

A tiger-headed kid beside him saw another child who was following Yu Guozhen. Immediately pounced: "Little official." What you said you were going to bring me! ”

Following Yu Guozhen was his eldest son Yu Xiang.

"You kid, why don't you know how to be polite?" Shogishi scolded.

"Come on. At their age, if they know all etiquette, won't they all become little old men. You don't know Yu Xiang's naughty energy. Yu Guozhen laughed, then turned around and looked at a teenager who followed up: "Bu Xiuqiu, you take care of them, don't let these boys be too naughty." ”

Jiang An looked at the young man respectfully and saluted, and his expression moved: "This is the son of Abe's Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”

"Exactly, but, now it's a surname." Yu Guozhen smiled faintly.

Almost all of the high-ranking officials of the Tokugawa family sent their sons to Shinxiang. He was systematically educated in Xinxiang, and all of them were changed to Han surnames. Over the years, the vast majority of these people have become fluent in Mandarin. When he got older, he joined the Tiger Guard. Their generation is not eligible for secondary schooling. So their education is five years of primary education, but then to the next generation. You will be eligible for secondary education.

Yu Guozhen was convinced that through two to three generations, it would be enough to assimilate the Japanese people.

The population of the Wa Kingdom is quite large, according to the latest statistics, about 20 million people. In recent years, under the pressure of Yu Guozhen, there have been fewer wars within the Wa State, but the population growth rate has been slower than during the war, for the simple reason that a large number of school-age women are conscripted from the Wa State every year to become the wives and concubines of the Chinese ethnic group. For the Japanese people, this is the best way out, because even if they work in the mines in the territory controlled by the Huaxia Military Strategy Committee, the treatment is better than that of them digging in the land of the Japanese.

"There's something I'm going to give you an account of this time." Yu Guozhen and Jiang An walked side by side: "The purpose of this battle is to completely eliminate the puppet Qing and recapture the land of southern Liaoning, so after the war, it may be necessary to set up the Liaodong Governor's Palace, I intend to make you the governor of Liaodong, what do you think?" ”

Jiang An was stunned for a moment, and his heart suddenly hesitated.

"In addition, I am ready to implement a system of rotation of governors, just like the rotation system of commanders of various armies." Yu Guozhen said again: "No one, no matter who he is, can serve more than two terms as governor of a certain place, and one term is five years. ”

Jiang An suddenly smiled bitterly, what he hesitated was that he had been operating in Tamluo for so long, although compared to Xinxiang and Qingdaokou, the development of Yicheng was still inferior, but it was finally built well, no matter which aspect, he handled it easily. He was a little reluctant to do this, but if the governor's transfer system was implemented, he would still have to transfer him to other governors' territory.

"Yes, I'm going to get the job done." He whispered.

"Although the conditions in Liaodong are a little simpler, the conditions are much better than when they first started to build Yi City, and the resources of Liaodong are far better than those of Tamna, so you can transfer some officials and officials from Tamna." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "In addition, in a short period of time, I will tilt the resources to your side, and there are three main things you have to do." ”

"Please ask the officials to command."

"First, the remnants of the construction were cleared out so that they would not interfere with the construction of the east. Second, make full use of the resources of Liaodong and spend five to ten years to establish a relatively complete iron and steel industry system in Liaodong. Third, the black soil of Liaodong will be reclaimed, and after three to five years, Liaodong will not only be able to fully self-sufficiency in grain, but also have a surplus to supply military supplies. ”

These three things are all big tasks, and after writing them down, Yu Guozhen paused for a moment, and then said: "There are still two things, he should also be careful, one is that I will send researchers to study the problem of getting off the train in the climate of Liaodong, and strive to come up with a train that can run in the bitter cold land of Liaodong as soon as possible." Although it may take years or even decades to study this matter, you need to plan ahead. The second is ...... Beware of the Rakshasas. ”

"Rakshasas?" For the former, Jiang An is mentally prepared, he knows that Yu Guozhen is a train maniac, and has said more than once that in the future, every state capital in China should be connected to a train, and if it is a county with conditions, it should also be connected to a train. But for the second point, Shogishi was a little surprised.

"Yes, Rakshasas." Yu Guozhen's eyes were cold.

There is no need to ask the reason, Jiang An wrote down the matter, and then said with a smile: "Emperor Chongzhen wants to see the officials, and he started asking when the officials will arrive eight days ago, he has grown in the past few years, and when he reads the newspaper at home, he knows that he is going to start a war against Jianyu." ”

"Oh? Then I'll meet him, I just promised a few princes gifts, and I want to send them over. Yu Guozhen laughed.
