PS: Xiaobaijun's new urban theme book "Ant Kingdom" is on the shelves, if you are interested, you can take a look. This book maintains the original updated state, and Xiaobaijun will continue to write seriously.

When the Chinese Army continued to advance into Northeast China, Mongolia, Xinjiang and other regions, Lü Liang signed the large-scale "Post-War Recovery Plan". The plan is aimed at the newly occupied areas of the North, covering economic, political, military and other aspects, in three phases, and is expected to be completed within five years, bringing the economy of the North to the level of the South.

The key to realizing the post-war recovery plan is capital and resources, and the north has suffered from successive wars and natural disasters, and China needs to invest a lot of resources to restore the social and economic order in the north and heal the wounds of the war. This stage requires pure investment, without any return, and must be advanced with government strength. In the later period, heavy industry and infrastructure construction required a large amount of capital and resource investment, and Lu Liang has instructed the establishment of a special fund for post-war recovery, in which all the proceeds from speculating in rubber stocks will be used in this fund.

In fact, the major consortia had already begun to investigate the north during the Northern Expedition, and large-scale investment and construction in Hubei, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places took the lead, and the sensitivity of the people to resources and markets far exceeded that of the administrative system.

The people in the customs were finally relieved from the fighting, and a large amount of relief grain was brought in from the south and sold through grain stores at ultra-low prices. At the same time, a new administrative system was initially established after 300,000 southern cadres moved north. The garrisons scattered throughout the country temporarily assume the duties of the police department, and their primary task is to crack down on lawbreakers, eradicate the raging horse bandits, and restore a good law and order environment. For China, the severity of post-war recovery even outweighs the pressure of war, but as long as the people can eat enough, they will settle down. No one wants to live in a state of poverty and chaos all the time.

The fighting outside the border was not basically over until the end of 1906, and the delay was due to the difficulty of the march, the backwardness of the transportation situation, especially in the direction of Xinjiang, which required to maintain uninterrupted logistics while marching. Some of the materials transported from the south passed through Hubei, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu and other provinces, and two-thirds of the 100 supplies were consumed halfway. The other part departs from Sichuan. After crossing the Qinling Mountains, it was delivered to the army. The difficulties of logistics and transportation also led the military to demand that the construction of railways in the north be the top priority for post-war recovery.

After the abdication of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai sent some officials and troops to Xinjiang, and just after arriving he received the news of the end of the Northern Expedition and the destruction of the Beiyang Group. At a loss, he sent an open telegram expressing his willingness to surrender to the Chinese army. In other words, the Seventh Army's trip is to take over, sort out the economic, cultural, and political conditions in Xinjiang by the way, and lay the foundation for the next step of development.

On the other side, Mongolia and Xinjiang are in much the same situation, and the Second Army and the Third Army are also not in trouble, and time is wasted on the road.

Only the 1st Army and the 2nd Army of the 1st Army in the northeast met the battle. The Japanese troops entrenched in Shenyang and the Liaodong Peninsula put up stubborn resistance. On August 22, the Chinese army besieged Shenyang, and the 2nd Armored Division of the 1st Army annihilated the 35th Independent Brigade of the Japanese Army, which had been reinforced from the Liaodong Peninsula to the north, and cut off the retreat of the Japanese army in Shenyang. On the 24th, the Chinese army captured Shenyang, and the Japanese army surrendered on a large scale, especially when the Chinese army was preparing to launch the Battle of Arthur, the Japanese army in Manchuria announced that it would give up resistance and surrender unconditionally.

The surrender of the Japanese army was not unrelated to the defeat of the anti-Chinese alliance, and several major battles were brought down. The Chinese army basically dispersed the spirit of the Japanese and was inside Japan. The voices of bowing their heads to China are getting louder and louder, and even some people in the military believe that the strength of China is obvious to all, and that Japan should throw itself closer to China than to learn from the West and rely on Britain.

However, there were not a few people who advocated resolute resistance, and the two sides were at loggerheads before the Battle of Manchuria began, and the contradictions at the top affected the strategy of the army. Most of the Japanese troops stationed in Manchuria wanted to withdraw to Korea. Without confronting the Chinese army head-on, this part of the soldiers averaged less than five rounds of ammunition per person, and had no confidence to resist the Chinese army at all.

Later, the voice of resolute resistance in the country prevailed, demanding that the Manchurian army fight to the death, after the defeat of the Battle of Shenyang. Extremely disappointed, the mid-ranking officers of the Japanese army staged a mutiny, took control of the upper echelons who advocated resistance, and surrendered to the Chinese army.

The Russians in the north were even more simply withdrawn to Boli and Vladivostok before the Japanese surrendered, completely relinquishing their rights in Manchuria. Nicholas II also sent a special envoy to demand the signing of a non-aggression pact with China in order to shrink his forces in the Far East and concentrate on solving domestic problems.

On November 20, 1906, the 3rd Mountain Brigade of the Chinese Army entered Tibet, marking the integration of all Chinese territory into the control of the Chinese state, and the reunification of the country after the chaos of the late Qing Dynasty.

In Wuhan Danfeng Prison, in a single cell with relatively good conditions, Yuan Shikai was tasting the dumplings sent by the prison guards today. It's just a warning that white noodles are much more expensive than rice now, and rice can only be provided temporarily, but I didn't expect to send a bowl of dumplings and a plate of vinegar today, which has made Yuan Shikai very content.

His single room has a closed bathroom, bedroom, a desk outside, a bookcase on the side, and a sofa on the other side. Listening to the radio after dinner is a routine, he turns on the radio on his desk, pours a cup of tea, and sits leisurely on the chair in front of the desk.

"Listeners and friends, this is China Central Radio, welcome to listen to the Voice of the Motherland program. Today, our program has welcomed a special guest, the great President of China and the guiding light of the revolution, Lu Liang, who will deliver a 'unified speech' through our program, and I would like to invite President Lu Liang. A middle-aged man's unhurried and clear voice came out of the radio, Yuan Shikai frowned, Lu Liang, I have always wanted to meet this opponent, but unfortunately, the subordinate prisoners do not have the right to make demands, and they are very satisfied if they can give themselves good prison conditions.

A male voice on the radio interrupted Yuan Shikai's thoughts: "Today, we stand on the land of freedom, on the land of China, where there is no slavery, no oppression, no hunger. There is no injustice, there is no complicated and entangled interpersonal relationship that makes the oppressed people have no way to sue them, this is a new country to achieve the unification of China, this land watered by our ancestors with blood and dignity! Behind me is the statue of Yue Fei, a symbol of the Chinese people's fighting spirit! ”

"In front of me. There stands a people, a people who groans in humiliation! Don't think about what a splendid culture this nation has created, because they have no role in the face of cannon power. Since the First Opium War, the pride of this nation has been gone, and the culture of pride of this nation has been interrupted! Those victors rode on our necks and trampled on our dignity, the dignity of the noblest people on the Asian continent! ”

"You may want to say: President Lu Liang, we need a piece of farmland, we need a piece of steamed bread. Yes. You are so right, the righteousness of the country is too worthless in the face of survival, and life is too important. But I still have to tell you that there is something more important in this world than life, and that is freedom! That's dignity! ”

"As long as the national flags of foreigners are still flying in the Shanghai and Tianjin concessions, our dignity will not exist! As long as the Far East, Taiwan, and Hong Kong remain under the control of the Great Powers, our dignity will not exist! As long as those British and French are tyrannical on our soil, our dignity does not exist! As long as it's on the map of Asia. This country called Huaxia is weakened and sinking in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal state, and our dignity does not exist! Just people from other countries. Let out a contemptuous laugh when the word Huaxia is spoken while chatting, and our dignity does not exist! ”

"What we need is not a steamed bun, but a living space! A living space for a nation! This living space is not achieved by begging and protesting, but by iron and blood! ”

"Others have bullied us. Even the weakest nation comes to trample on us, and we will only cry: We express the strongest indignation and protest, such people have no bones! Such a person is lowly! We should make the enemy tremble with the deafening roar of artillery! We should crush their dignity and their lives. Let them know that we are not a bunch of cowards who only know about protests! ”

"You have to remember that a country that only knows how to protest is a country without bones! A government that only knows how to protest is a government without bones! When our dignity, territory, and living space are trampled on, it is better to protest against the government in shame, we don't need it, and you will throw them up in the end! ”

"I'm so proud that there are very few of you who have no bones like this! In front of me is an army with thousands of years of unyielding blood! This blood once flowed in the veins of our ancestors, and they did not give in! Now, they're bubbling in our bodies, and you tell me, do you want him to cool down? ”

"There are two things that unite people: a common ideal and a common crime. We have the great ideal carved on the Chinese flag, and we will shed our last drop of blood for this ideal! In today's China, nothing can save our motherland, only this ideal! The numerous unequal treaties signed by the Manchus are a great disgrace! We have the determination and the reason to refuse to carry it out! Do what you want! It's like Yue Fei picking up a spear, just like he led his compatriots to bravely kill the enemy with the banner of freedom! If you want to fight, go for it! Then I will be able to see if you are 400 million slaves, or 400 million unyielding Chinese people! ”

"We drove out the great powers under the cohesion of ideals, eliminated the rotten Manchu rulers, eliminated the perverse Beiyang group, defeated the most powerful fleet in the world, and united the country again. We have recaptured Hong Kong, recaptured Taiwan, recaptured the Ryukyus, which had been lost for many years, our steel chariots marched sonorously on the Mongolian steppes, our cannons rumbled on the land of the Northeast, and our soldiers measured the land of Xinjiang with their feet. Freedom and ideals have given us a solid step, but are these enough? ”

"If there is one day, I, Lu Liang, will also be like Yue Fei, holding the banner that belongs to our Huaxia to the forefront! Even if I die in battle, I will smile and face the torture of my ancestors! When I see those glorious ancestors of China, I can walk up to the great Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with my head held high, and I can proudly say to him: I, your descendants, have not disgraced you, and I have shed the last drop of blood for the great Chinese nation! ”

"We don't fight for slavery! We fight for freedom! We are not machines, we are not cows and horses, we are people! It is a Chinese person who has never succumbed! ”

"We unite in the name of freedom and fight for a new, fair world! We fight for a job for everyone! Fight for those who enslave us! Fight because we don't need to shout and protest all day! Fight for our dignity! Fight for our promises! ”

"My compatriots, long live China and the Chinese people! Freedom, long live! ”

At the end of the speech, Yuan Shikai did not continue to listen to the praises of those experts, he silently turned off the radio and sat motionless on the sofa.

Yes, he is a loser and a prisoner, but it does not mean that he does not care about the fate of the country. Lu Liang's speech was not a "unified speech", but a "declaration of war"!

No, Lu Liang must not be allowed to lead the country to the abyss, is he going to challenge the whole world? Is he going to coerce all the people of this country to perdition?

"I want to see Lu Liang, I want to see Lu Liang!" Yuan Shikai frantically knocked on the iron railing, shouting loudly, and there were echoing voices outside: "Haha, I also want to see Your Excellency the dear President, and I also want to see the President's wife!" ”

"Lao Tzu has already seen the president's wife, and he dreams of her every night, hahahaha!"

The chaos in the prison attracted the prison guards on duty outside the door, and after the alarm sounded, more than 50 prison guards armed with shields and batons ran in, and the arrogant criminals were immediately speechless, the prison guards were not the masters of reason, they didn't care who could get up, they would clean up one when they saw one, and they were much more ruthless than these criminals.

Only Yuan Shikai was still shouting tirelessly, for this ****** of the civilized world, the prison guards did not dare to deal with it by ordinary means, but just injected anesthetics and left.

Five hours later, Yuan Shikai slowly opened his eyes and sat on the sofa alone, reading a newspaper.

"Lu Liang, you're still here to see me!"

"I'm short on time, just say anything, you have ten minutes."

Yuan Shikai suddenly shouted like a madman: "You warmonger, you won't end well, sooner or later Huaxia will face the siege of the whole world." ”

"When did you become so worried about the country and the people? Do you think you are still the emperor of the Chinese Empire? China has missed the last chance to rise peacefully, and the isolation of the country in the Age of Discovery means that China can only survive under the oppression of the West. The Chinese country under my leadership can only rise through continuous wars and destroy enemies one by one on the way. Of course, I am not arrogant enough to single out the whole world, and Westerners who form an anti-China alliance in the face of interests will also fall apart in front of interests. ”
