"Yes, it is difficult to go to the blue sky. When the Red Army went out of Sichuan, how many people should rely on picks and baskets to cultivate one victory after another! Looking at today's scene, and thinking about the same scene in other places, maybe everyone will have this kind of momentary feeling, or maybe it will be moved, but what about the future? Zuo Zongtang looked at the people on the road, "I hope I won't forget them." It is a pity that the dredging of the canal and the cofferdam project have just begun, but they cannot be completed in my hands. ”

"Everybody else will go on too. Your regret is right, we will do our best to end the war and give our people a peaceful and prosperous living environment, which is the best reward we can give to the people. Lin Haifeng's face was solemn.

"The war won't last long." Zuo Zongtang looked to the west, "On the one hand, the army has strictly implemented the ethnic policy of the Celestial Empire government, which will not only make the war develop rapidly, but will also gradually fade due to the adverse impact of the Han consciousness on the southwest regions in the past. This also plays an important role in the future struggle for Tibet, Xinjiang, and Mongolia, preferably by peaceful means. ”

"What we are saying is that when we propagate the heroic consciousness of our own nation, we are not advocating the supremacy of the Han nationality, but pursuing the true equality of all ethnic groups." Lin Haifeng nodded, looking at Zeng and Zuo, "How do you feel about the plan for regional autonomy of Tibet proposed by the Celestial Empire?" ”

"In view of the particularity of Tibet's geography, the integration of politics and religion, and its historical origins, it is still a good policy to adopt this kind of formulation of granting regional autonomy to Tibetan ethnic groups." Zuo Zongtang thought for a while and smiled slightly, "Continuing to follow the 29 articles of the "Regulations on the Aftermath of Tibet" formulated during the Qianlong period, and not carrying out the reform of serfdom in Tibet for the time being, is conducive to safeguarding the sovereignty of the government of our Celestial Dynasty in Tibet and stabilizing the situation in Tibet, after all, we do not have the energy to deal with the affairs there in an all-round way for a while. This will also send a message to Mongolia and Xinjiang. However, it is still possible not to enter the army for the time being, but I am afraid that it will not be possible in the future. On the one hand, the military and the Southwest Military and Political Commission should have this awareness and preparation, and should do their best to train an army that is good at fighting on the plateau in order to meet future needs. Following your prompt, I have learned about the development of the British in India, and I have a feeling that they will not sit idly by and ignore us, and will most likely play tricks on the Tibetan issue. Xinjiang and Mongolia, in the long run, will also face a problem, that is, the intervention of the Russians. ”

"Well, according to the intelligence of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Manchu government has recently signed the so-called Sino-Russian "Land Trade Charter" with Tsarist Russia. Russian merchants were allowed to trade within 100 miles of China's borders without paying taxes. There are also Russian merchants who 'make a living' and can trade freely in various parts of Mongolia, and they are also exempt from taxes. Even for Russian goods transported to Tianjin and Lushun by land, the import tax payable is 'halved according to the tariffs of various countries', and the lower ones are completely exempted from sub-export taxes. In addition, Russian businessmen who trafficked local goods back to China were also given so-called preferential treatment of paying only the export tax and exempting them from the export tax. The signing of this charter not only set a bad example of tax reduction for land trade and trade, but also caused them to suffer severe losses in terms of tax revenue, and it will also create favorable conditions for the Russian invaders to infiltrate the political, economic, and cultural regions of China's northwest, Mongolia, and northeast China. ”

Lin Haifeng said, looking at Zuo Zongtang, "If you have time, you should think more about Mongolia and Xinjiang." This time, I asked you to take part in the affairs of Anhui Province, first, to participate in the upcoming peace talks with the Manchus, as Senator Zeng did, and second, to take the opportunity of this great war to familiarize yourself with the overall situation of our army at present, and the Celestial Empire will have a great task entrusted to you. ”

"Ji Gao is quite familiar with the situation in Xinjiang, when Lin Zexu came back from Xinjiang, he once passed on all his knowledge of Xinjiang to Ji Gao." Zeng Guofan looked at Zuo Zongtang and smiled, "I didn't expect it to be useful soon." ”

"Hehe, the skills are not pressing, it's always good to master more new things, maybe it will be useful when it will be." Lin Haifeng also smiled, "It seems that my brother from my own family also predicted that the country would be in danger in the northwest." ”

Zuo Zongtang seems to be a person who doesn't know what modesty is, and he seems very comfortable now. From Director Lin's words and the recent changes in positions, he felt the trust of the Celestial Empire government in him, and of course, he even expected that the first candidate of the Northwest Military and Political Commission would probably be him. Looking at the whole world, there are only two people who can make him feel inferior, one is the director Lin in front of him, and the other is Vice Chairman Zheng who is in charge of the development affairs of the National Economic and Communist League in Tianjing.

arrogant and uninhibited, perhaps this is one of the reasons why Lin Haifeng has tried his best to defy public opinion several times, and likes and is willing to hand over the heavy responsibility to Zuo Zongtang. He doesn't like the kind of modesty who are good at hypocrisy.

Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang are the opposite. Zeng Guofan's personality and inner world have changed to a certain extent compared with the past, but the habit of liking to listen to compliments and praise has not been reduced much. In this theoretical war in Tianjing, as a loyal ally of Lin Haifeng, he assisted in perfecting theories about "foot binding" and other theories that hindered the liberation of women in the Celestial Empire.

"Ji Gao, have you seen Director Lin's exposition on women's liberation in Tianjing? Hehe, you also have a lot of research on these issues, how do you feel? ”

Zuo Zongtang laughed, "As soon as Director Lin and Senator Zeng's big argument came out, I set fire to it in Anhui. Well, there are reasonable, well-founded and responsible, bad habits are forcibly pushed up by theory, and of course they must be overwhelmed by real theories. Director Lin is right, the division has a way, and the propaganda of this fortress can never be lost, it is no less powerful than the army. ”

Zeng Guofan smiled with satisfaction, and he looked at Lin Haifeng again, "Director Lin, the policy of regional ethnic autonomy should also be theoretically improved, and it cannot be done in a big way. It cannot be used by people with ulterior motives to engage in anything similar to the United States, a federal autonomous state, or a disguised independent self-government. We do not deny that the relations between Tibet, Mongolia and Xinjiang and Chinese mainland have gone through a historical process from loose to close, then from economic, cultural, religious, military to political, and finally from a relatively autonomous place to a region under the direct rule of the central government. This is, after all, a natural historical process. But now, they are all forever an inseparable part of our Celestial Empire. ”

Lin Haifeng nodded, "Of course, after overthrowing the colonial rule of the Manchu invaders, we will convene a national congress and formulate the fundamental constitution of our country." In exercising the right of autonomy, the organs of self-government of ethnic regions may at the same time become the main body of local legislation, and local legislation arises for the autonomy of various ethnic regions, but it is necessary to follow the basic principles of state legislation, that is, legislation must be unified, proceed from the specific conditions and actual needs of the autonomous regions, legislate democratically, and legalize legislation, and in a fundamental sense, realize the concrete and historical integration of the system of national congress and the system of regional ethnic autonomy. We should stress the importance of the law, and we should also institutionalize and legalize regional ethnic autonomy and form norms at the level of the Constitution, so that our country can truly enter an excellent situation in which all nationalities are equal and all nationalities are united. ”

Zuo Zongtang looked at Lin Haifeng for a while, and seemed to think a little, "Compared with Xinjiang and Mongolia, I think the Mongolian problem may be better solved, as long as we start quickly." As for Xinjiang, it is estimated that sooner or later force will be used. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed, "Director Lin, Zuo is also the chief of staff of the Northern Battalion, this ...... When did this give me the uniform of the Red Army, so that I also looked like a soldier of the Celestial Empire? ”

Lin Haifeng turned his head to look at Zuo Zongtang, then looked at himself, the horse whip in his hand waved, and the wide sleeves of his robe danced in the wind, "Haha, isn't this good?" I think it's good. ”

Zeng Guofan joked on the side, "Ji Gao, your figure is still a little fat, and there is no military uniform suitable for you." ”

"Alas, I have heard many people say in private, following His Royal Highness King An, there is everything. Why did everything change when I got here? Zuo Zongtang pretended to be sad and said this, and suddenly stood up heroically on the horse, "Lao Tzu is now the real Red Army." Forward, forward, forward, our team to the sun, feet on the land of the motherland, carrying the hope of the nation, we are an invincible force......"

With the singing of the obvious Hunan folk accent, he urged the war horse and galloped forward......
