In July and August, it is the height of summer, and the weather is very hot. On July 25th, the Huaxia Army led by Hu Zining arrived outside the city of Chengdu, these days are sunny, the sun is very fierce, everyone is sweating, those summoned Huaxia Army soldiers are okay, each of them has a strong endurance to the heat and cold, Hu Zining's endurance is much worse. In my previous life, I had air conditioning when I went to work and stayed in my room in the summer, so I tried not to be outdoors when I had nothing to do. Now, but the scorching sun is in the sky, for a better future, Hu Zining has to endure it.

The Huaxia army first launched an intensive bombardment near a city gate, and when the nearby Qing soldiers were bombed with heavy casualties, they used mortars to suppress artillery fire, and Hu Zining personally led more than 1,000 soldiers to the city wall more than 1,000 meters away, and summoned the 816 people who could be summoned in the 17 days since the 8th of this month, so that they could appear in Chengdu City.

When 816 soldiers were summoned, Hu Zining immediately sent a telegram through the telegraph, ordering them to capture a nearby city gate and open the door to welcome the army into the city.

Twenty minutes later, a gate of Chengdu City was opened, and thousands of Huaxia troops outside rushed towards the gate.

After the Huaxia army rushed into the city, six or seven percent of the Qing soldiers surrendered, and the rest of the attempts were stubbornly resisted, and the Huaxia army spent half a day to clear and wipe out, basically clearing out the Qing troops who had not surrendered.

After taking Chengdu, Hu Zining first came to the treasury, fortunately, the treasury of Chengdu and the provincial government of Sichuan added up to several thousand taels of gold, more than 200,000 amounts of silver, and about one million silver dollars.

In the evening, the beautiful Qiqi appeared and said: "Congratulations to the master for completing the third task, the system function has been upgraded to the fourth level, starting today, the number of troops that the master can summon can be increased to 96 people in a day, and 3 junior administrative talents can be summoned every month, 1 intermediate administrative talent, 1 junior and intermediate technical personnel in the army, 1 junior and intermediate technical personnel and 1 military talent in the navy and air force." In terms of artillery, the caliber of the artillery equipped with the summoned artillery has been increased to less than 150 mm, and the artillery configuration of the artillery company directly under the master of an infantry regiment has been changed from the original 18 French M1927 85 mm howitzers to 9 M1927 85 mm howitzers and 9 British 140 mm howitzers, the maximum range of the howitzer is about 16 kilometers and the weight is 5850 kg. ”

"Now I issue a fourth task to the master: within 5 years, the master will become the head of state, and the master's power must become the central power. This task is considered to be fulfilled if one of the following two conditions is met: first, the master's regime occupies and effectively administers more than half of the country's territory; Second, more than half of the people in the country recognize that you are the head of state and that your regime is the central power. If the task is completed, the system function is upgraded to the fifth level, and if the task is not completed, the system function will be regressed to the first level. ”

"When the master completes the task, upgrade to the fifth-level system, the number of troops that can be summoned in a day is 192, and the accumulation of 4 junior administrative personnel, 1 intermediate and senior administrative personnel can be summoned every month, 2 junior and intermediate technical personnel of the army, 1 senior technical personnel, 2 junior and intermediate technical personnel, 2 military talents and 1 senior technical personnel of the Navy and Air Force, and 1 senior technical and military talent, and in the future, for every 20 government affairs type talents, there will be 1 special talent. In terms of artillery, the caliber of the guns equipped with summoned artillery has been increased to less than 250 mm. ”

"Extraordinary? To what extent is this talent capable? ”

Qiqi said: "In terms of government talents, junior talents are excellent in terms of ability to serve as county-level officials, and qualified to serve as state-level officials; Middle-level talents are excellent as state-level officials, and qualified as provincial and ministerial-level officials; The ability of senior government affairs talents, serving as provincial and ministerial officials is excellent, and serving as a national official is qualified; Special-grade talents belong to the highest level, and the ability to serve as state-level officials is excellent. ”

After Hu Zining seized Chengdu, he used the Sichuan Governor's Mansion as his office and let the junior government officials he summoned take over the government affairs of Chengdu.

The next day, the Huaxia Military Government publicly telegraphed to the outside world, announcing that it ******** the Huaxia Military Government the sole political power in Sichuan Province and that it would not give up until the Manchu regime was overthrown.

On this day, notices were posted everywhere in Chengdu City, saying that the Huaxia Army had come to liberate the common people in Chengdu, and that it would definitely not be like the previous Manchu government, and that the troops, policemen, and officials at all levels would abide by discipline and law, be honest and self-disciplined, and that if they encountered violations of law and discipline and embezzlement and bribery, they could report and complain to the newly established Ministry of Supervision.

When the Huaxia army seized Chengdu, the main forces of the Qing army in Hubei and Shaanxi, which had come to encircle and suppress the Huaxia army in Sichuan, were still halfway through, and in Wuchang, Hubei, the remaining new army took advantage of the emptiness of Wuchang's troops to launch an armed uprising on the night of July 28, and the revolutionaries in Hanyang and Hankou captured Hanyang and Hankou on the night of July 29 and 30 respectively. After the rebel army took control of the three towns of Wuhan, it declared the independence of Hubei, established the Hubei military government, elected Huang Xing as the governor, and changed the name of the country to the Republic of China.

Because of Hu Zining's butterfly effect, the Wuchang Uprising, which was supposed to break out more than a year later, broke out ahead of schedule, and the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also advanced.

In early August, in the Forbidden City of Beijing, the Empress Dowager Longyu and the regent Zaifeng convened ministers to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Longyu was as anxious as an ant on a hot nest, and said to the ministers: "What can I do about this, the emperor has only been on the throne for less than two years, and the world has reached the point of being out of control?" ”

The regent Zaifeng said: "Don't worry about the Queen Mother, it's just that Chengdu and Wuchang have been lost. ”

Longyu said: "At that time, there was Zeng Guofan, is there now? ”

The ministers present bowed their heads and remained silent.

Longyu walked around anxiously and continued: "What happened to those thieves in Chengdu who claimed to be the Huaxia Army, they sent a large army to encircle and suppress twice, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court suffered heavy losses, and I heard that Guangdong and Hunan are not calm, is there such a thing?" ”

War Minister Yin Chang said: "The provincial newspapers are still on the way, but the ministers have heard that there have been rebellions in Shanghai and Yunnan and that military governments have been formed, and the provinces are afraid that they will ...... today."

At this time, Xiao Puyi began to cry, and Longyu said irritably: "Oops! Don't cry, crying makes me so upset! Can't you just endure it any longer? ”

"Tell me, who will you send to suppress the chaotic party in Sichuan?"

The ministers couldn't say a good candidate, and the assistant minister of the cabinet (equivalent to the vice premier) Na Tong said: "The queen mother, the minister thinks that Yuan Shikai must be used." ”

Zaifeng said: "This person must not be used again, if you don't kill him to thank the world, it is the greatest tolerance for him,"

Xu Shichang, associate minister of the cabinet, said "hey".

Zhenguo Gong Zaize said: "What are you sighing for? ”

Xu Shichang said: "What the minister is worried about is that Yuan Shikai refuses to respond to the edict, but I didn't expect that there are still people who don't forget their past suspicions. ”

Longyu said: "Why don't you send that Yuan Shikai ..... be the governor of Huguang?" ”

Xu Shichang said: "The minister thinks that the official position is too small. ”

Zaifeng said: "Do you want to give him the prime minister? ”

Prime Minister ****** Yixuan said: "Hey! As long as Yuan Shikai can go out of the mountains to pacify the rebellious party, I will give him the prime minister of the cabinet, I am thinking, this time it will not take a little effort, Hu Zining's Huaxia army is more powerful than Sun Wen and Hong Xiu, the imperial court sent tens of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress, all suffered heavy losses, and now to exterminate them, we have to send the most elite Beiyang Seven Towns of the imperial court. ”

Longyu said: "Then write an edict, if Lafayette is alive, he will not be so in a hurry." ”

In Anyang, Henan, Huanshang Village, Yuan Shikai had just caught a big fish, and the three concubines on the side smiled and said, "Yo, master, you are about to be promoted." ”

Although Yuan Shikai is a fisherman in this hometown, he knows the general trend of the world well, and when the edict of the imperial court is delivered, he should not accept the edict on the grounds that the foot disease has not been cured.
