Chapter 328: On the World
Luo Jian is actually not worried about the road conditions, the current artillery is all rubber tires, and the weight is much lighter than before, and the weight of the 75mm gun itself is not too heavy, even if the road is a little bad, it can be completely overcome.
Luo Jian has been pinching the days and counting the time, calculating that Yan Yingyuan and the marines have been off for two days, I don't know where they are now, if they can capture Shengjing as soon as possible, take the Manchu nest first, and cut off the Manchu court's northward escape, the battle will be much easier to fight.
The negotiations have been negotiated for two days, and they have been arguing, and there has been no substantive progress, Luo Jian and the others were originally hypocritical and wronged, but they didn't care, but Sony and Chen Mingxia were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
On the third day, Sonny proposed to meet the Grand Governor, and Yibang asked Luo Jian for instructions, Luo Jian was a little interested in this old minister of the Three Dynasties in another time and space history, and after thinking about it, he felt that it didn't matter if he met him, so he agreed.
Before going to see Sony, Luo Jian thought quietly for a long time alone, how to treat Manren, Luo Jian felt a little tricky.
From Luo Jian's personal feelings, he has no special prejudice against the Manchus, after all, in his time, the Manchus have been fully integrated into the Chinese nation, and Luo Jian has a very good comrade-in-arms who is the Manchus in Hebei, if you talk about it, it must be the descendants of these Manchus now. As far as the area where the Manchus lived, it was in Jilin and Changchun, another time and space, and it did not go beyond the boundaries of China.
In the present era, every ethnic group is desperately expanding the living space of its own nation, and this is certainly the case as a Manchu. In another time and space, the Manchurians were able to seize the world, which was not only the opportunity to seize the opportunity, but also the result of the Han nation's own extreme incompetence. As for the loss of power and humiliation of the Manchu Dynasty hundreds of years later, I am afraid that it cannot be counted as the current Manchu rulers.
Besides, since Luo Jian came to this time and space, the Manchurians have been in the process of marching across the country. It is rare for such a cruel act as the slaughter of the city to be performed again, but the traitor team is still doing these things.
When he thought of this, Luo Jian had his own ideas about how to deal with the Manchus in the future, but Luo Jian had to face an extremely realistic problem, that is, the Nanjing government now hated the Manchus from top to bottom, and they were eager to exterminate them one by one. If you want to let go of the Manchus, especially the Manchu court, I am afraid that the whole country will not agree.
How to solve this problem? Luo Jian thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of a way to do both, so he could only take one step at a time.
Luo Jian was in the wing room of Wen'an County Ya to meet Sony and Chen Mingxia, and when Luo Jian entered the house, Sony and Chen Mingxia were already waiting in the house, and Zuo Maodi and Yi Bangcai were also present.
When Luo Jian walked into the house, everyone in the room stood up, and Sonny took a few steps forward to kneel down and salute Luo Jian, but was stopped by Luo Jian.
"This is the Minister of Parliament, General Sony, right? We don't have to kneel and worship here. Besides, you don't have to give me this big gift. Luo Jian said with a smile.
Sonny bowed to Luo Jian, and then carefully looked up at the legendary "angel" Grand Governor.
Luo Jian is still wearing a camouflage uniform, but he doesn't have a helmet, and he wears imitation land combat boots on his feet, but they are produced by the Nanjing Garment Factory itself, which is no different from others.
Luo Jian looked at the old minister of the Three Dynasties in front of him with interest, another time and space history has a good evaluation of Sony, after Luo Jian came to this era. Some rumors about Sony are not particularly negative, and Luo Jian's impression of him is not bad.
Sony was also carefully observing Luo Jian's expression. In Luo Jian's smiling expression, Sonny keenly felt a trace of pity in his eyes, although Sonny felt that for the Qing warriors, pity was no different from insult, but Sonny felt that for the sake of the future of the Qing court, he must grasp this trace of pity from the Grand Governor.
"The Grand Duke. We talked with your envoy for two days, but your conditions were too harsh for me to accept. Presumably, the Metropolitan Governor also knows that my Qing Dynasty is not without the strength of a war, if the war spreads in Gyeonggi. Fear of harming innocent people. Sony couldn't see through Luo Jian's thoughts, so he had to bring up his own lack of progress in the negotiations.
At first, Wang Qiang said that it was a bargain, but in the negotiation process of a few days, several conditions on the side of the Wehrmacht did not give in at all, which made Sony feel that the Wehrmacht had no sincerity in the peace talks, but Sony couldn't think of the Wehrmacht's intention to stop here to negotiate and drag on for time, and he wanted to hear some information from the mouth of the governor.
"Hehe, do you think our negotiation conditions are too harsh? I don't think it's too much, shouldn't you be punished for what you Manchus have done to our Han nation for decades? Luo Jian's expression was a little serious, his eyes were staring at Sony, and Sony's head was lowered.
"You may not fully understand our intentions, if you have read our newspapers, you should know that as early as a few years ago we put forward the concept of the Chinese nation, that is to say, the Chinese nation has not been a Han nationality since the beginning, but is actually a mixture of many ethnic groups, and the foundation of the country lies in the people. The Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui and Tibetan lands are one country, that is, the Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui and Tibetan ethnic groups are one person, which is the unity of the nation. ”
Luo Jian's words did not surprise Sony, he did see a similar point of view in the newspapers of Nanjing in the past, but the Qing Dynasty at that time was not the Qing Dynasty today, and what was said in the newspaper made the Qing Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty forget it after a few days of discussion, and no one took it to heart.
"General Sony, do you think the Nanjing government has developed to this year in a few years, which is better than the Qing Dynasty?" Luo Jian saw that Sony did not react to the concept of the Chinese nation that he proposed, and knew that it was indeed too difficult to make them understand these things now, so he changed the topic and asked.
"It's better to be clear." Sony is also dry.
"So what do you think is the reason? Is it the Nanjing government that occupies the rich land in the south? Or did you use a lot of tricks and tricks to get a lot of weapons and equipment? Luo Jian continued to ask.
"This... Both, right? Sonny didn't know what Luo Jian meant, and replied hesitantly.
"Hehe, these are just one of the reasons, General Sony, let me tell you, the biggest advantage of the Nanjing government over the Manchu court is actually not these."
Speaking of this, Luo Jian stopped. Picking up the cup and taking a sip of water, not only Sonny was thinking, but Zuo Maodi and Yi Bangcai were also in deep thought.
Sony couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it for a long time, but he vaguely felt that the most fundamental reason why Luo Jian said was probably that the Qing Dynasty couldn't learn it at all, otherwise the metropolitan governor wouldn't just say it.
"Please also ask the Metropolitan Governor for advice!" Sonny stood up and bowed to Luo Jian and said.
"You're welcome! You may be seated. In fact, the biggest advantage of the Nanjing government over the Manchu court was the system. The essence of our establishment of this system is for the people of the world, how to make the lives of the people better. This is the starting point from which we consider everything. It is also based on this that in the past few years, we have not gone all out to develop the military, and our national defense forces have only gradually become stronger with the increase in the overall strength of the country. ”
Hearing this, Sonny's eyes widened, he was a little surprised, the meaning of Luo Jian's words was obvious, the Nanjing government did not do its best to deal with the Manchus, if they gathered the strength of the whole country, the Manchus would probably not exist long ago.
"You may think that we have created advanced weapons through ingenuity. If you win, I'm afraid you won't be convinced. But let me tell you, this kind of trick that you call strange and ingenious tricks is called science and technology, and the development of science and technology can only be well developed under an advanced social system. You've learned some of the fur by bribing our individual scum, but that's all, I'm afraid the Manchu court can't afford to raise your so-called new army now, right? ”
Listening to Luo Jian's eloquent talk, Sony's face had changed, how could he not know that the finances of the Manchu court had dried up, and the fundamental reason was that the new army was too expensive.
"We're just getting started. It is precisely because the war with you has slowed down the process of our development, Rao. How many people have fled to the south from the Manchu Qing Dynasty in recent years, I'm afraid General Sony knows it, right? Luo Jian said with a smile.
Hearing Luo Jian say this, Sony's heart was a little bitter, he had talked to Dolgon about this issue two years ago, but no matter how the Manchu court blocked, there were still countless people who fled to the south. The huge disparity in living standards is like a magnet that attracts people from the north to flee south.
Zuo Maodi had never heard of this, and when he heard Luo Jianyi say it today, he was eager to go back to Nanjing to have a look, but he also wanted to watch the Wehrmacht enter the city of Beijing, and he felt a little happy and troubled in his heart.
"If you agree to our terms. We can not blame the past, and you Manchurians can join the big family of the Chinese nation and enjoy the benefits of the development of the whole society like us Han people. If you still want to live by sucking the blood of the Han and other peoples, then we will never allow it, you can bring my words to Dorgon, known as the 'Prince of Rui', I hope that Dolgon will have this wisdom. ”
Although Luo Jian's tone was not serious, Sony still heard the resolute meaning in it, and shook his head in his heart, knowing that his peace talks had collapsed this time, Sony began to think about how to explain to the little emperor of Shunzhi and Dolgon when he went back.
Seeing Sonny bowing his head and being silent, Luo Jian knew what he was thinking, not to mention that the little Manchu emperor and Dolgon couldn't accept these conditions, even Sonny himself refused to do so anyway.
But Luo Jian asked Wang Qiang to put forward these conditions, not to achieve the goal at the negotiation table, in fact, it was nothing more than to express his strong will and determination, and put the greatest pressure on the Manchu court, and if the pressure was too large, the Manchu court's decision-making would be chaotic.
"It's a little stuffy in the house, shall we go out for a walk?" Luo Jian saw that Sonny didn't speak, and Zuo Maodi also fell into thought, and the room looked a little dull, so he said.
The air after the rain was extremely fresh, Luo Jian took Sonny and others out of the county seat slowly, the sun was about to set, and the troops trained outside the city began to end their training and prepare to return to the camp.
"All the national defense soldiers should keep in mind that they should pay attention to the three major disciplines ..."The singing voice from afar attracted everyone's attention, and the voice was neat and loud.
"If I don't take a needle and thread from the people, the people support and like me." Sonny muttered the words of the song as he looked at the Wehrmacht soldiers who were getting closer and closer, he was curious as he saw the Wehrmacht for the first time.
Luo Jian took the lead and walked to the side of the road, and everyone followed to make way out, Xie Kui, who led the team, did not let the team stop, but just raised his hand to salute Luo Jian and the others, and looked at Sony with disdain in his eyes.
A group of more than 2,000 people walked past Sony singing songs, and the sound of their neat steps was like a hammer hitting Sony's heart. (To be continued.) )
