On 15 March, Xu Shuzheng and Liao Zhen, the new commander of the Mongolian Group Army, completed the handover of defense affairs.

A week later, when more than 24,000 tired soldiers led by Xu Shuzheng left Kulen in the wind and on the remnants of the snow that had not melted, and arrived at the Yuquan camp, the 220,000 troops commanded by Xiao Yimin had already been mobilized on the whole line, and they were quickly heading north through the Jinghan Railway, the Jinpu Railway, and the Lubei Line.

In the early morning of 24 March, the 12 special trains of Xiao Fei's division and Chen Lanting's division led by Zeng Chaoran passed through the city of Tianjin, which was guarded by four infantry divisions of the Beiyang Army, without entering, and roared straight to Tangshan under the stunned gaze of tens of thousands of Beiyang officers and men.

At 12 o'clock in the evening of the same day, two regiments of the vanguard of the two divisions bypassed Luanxian County, where one division of the Fengjun army was stationed, and at an unbelievable speed, they went straight to Lulongguan, and launched a lightning-fast sneak attack at dawn in the snow, successfully defeating Xiongguan, which was garrisoned by more than 4,000 people from a brigade of the Fengjun army, in only two and a half hours, and completely cutting off the retreat of the defenders of Luanxian.

Zhang Zuolin, who had already returned to Shenyang, was taken aback when he heard the news, and hurriedly ordered the two divisions that had returned to Jinzhou to recuperate and urgently go south to reinforce the Yuguan line.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, another urgent report came that caught Zhang Zuolin off guard:

The three divisions of the Wang Jian Group Army under Xiao Yimin had already crossed the Gubeikou and quickly drove to the Chengde front line with the assistance of Lu Zhonglin, the new division commander of the Beiyang Army.

Before Zhang Zuolin came back to his senses, Yan Xishan, who had been secretly communicating with him, sent an urgent telegram: More than 30,000 people from the two recruit divisions of the Nanjing Xingying stationed in Jiuyuan suddenly disappeared five days ago, and it is very likely that they will go to the Pingjin line through the newly built railway.

Zhang Zuolin and the generals of the Feng army, who were extremely shocked, immediately realized that the situation was not good. He hurriedly summoned all the generals under his command to dispatch troops, and suddenly found that the five divisions that had withdrawn from the Pingjin area outside the Guanwai had just returned to the Jilin and Harbin defense areas for rest and recuperation, and even if they urgently assembled and went south, it would take at least five days or more.

On 29 March, as soon as the three Fengjun divisions that had rushed south from Tieling and other Liaodong areas arrived in Jinzhou, they received the bad news that Yuguan had been lost.

April 1. Two recruit divisions that set out from Jiuyuan suddenly appeared under Chaoyang City, an important town in western Liaoning, and hundreds of mortars beat an unsuspecting regiment of Feng's troops to the ground.

Since then. The 11 elite divisions of the Southern Army, totaling 180,000 troops, arrived at the battlefield outside the Guanhai and began to launch a fierce attack on Jinzhou, where 90,000 Feng troops were stationed.

On April 5, under the heavy blows of hundreds of light and heavy artillery pieces and ten times the firepower of the Feng army. The Feng army, which suffered heavy losses, withdrew from Jinzhou in disarray, crossed the Daling River, and under the appeal of the people of the whole country and the strong intervention of the European and American powers, it had to telegraph the whole country and negotiate an armistice.

The scale, speed, and intensity of this battle shocked China and foreign countries.

The strong combat effectiveness and advanced strategic and tactical thinking displayed by the Nanjing Army not only made the Japanese army completely disgraced, but also made the disintegrating Beiyang Army feel deeply happy and hopeless.

On 10 April, the overseers, provincial governors, and leaders of political parties in 18 provinces of the country issued statements calling for the reorganization of the central government. The National Assembly and the three levels of parliament were reorganized, and Xiao Yimin, Minister of Military Affairs of the Central Committee and First Vice Premier of the country, was supported in his candidacy for the presidency.

On the afternoon of the next day, Duan Qirui, who was like ashes, announced his resignation at his official residence in Beijing.

On 15 April, more than 300 chief officials of various central ministries and members of the National Assembly, including former premier Zhang Lan, issued a joint statement in Nanjing. It was announced that the National Assembly would be reconstituted and that the institutions of the central Government would be gradually restored to normal work.

On 1 May, amid cheers from all walks of life across the country, Xiao Yimin officially announced his decision to obey the will of the people and come forward to reorganize the central government.

On 1 July, military and political chiefs, people's deputies, and representatives from 27 provinces, including Sichuan, Xikang, Tibet, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong, Shaanxi, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Anhui, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Suiyuan, Chahar, and Rehe, were reported. A total of more than 3,100 people gathered in Nanjing to convene the second plenary session of the National Congress.

On 5 July, the National Congress was successfully concluded, and Xiao Yimin was successfully elected president and commander-in-chief of the three armed forces with a high approval rating of 93 percent, and announced that the capital would be Nanjing.

In mid-to-late July and throughout August, the Nanking Government engaged in active diplomatic mediation with the Great Powers, negotiating with the British Government on the question of southern Tibet and southern Burma, and on the 1.53 million square kilometers of land stolen by Tsarist Russia from China after the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchu, and with Red Russia, which was eager to be recognized by all countries in the world.

On 10 September, Chinese Foreign Minister Gu Weijun dropped a heavyweight bomb at a press conference -- in accordance with the principles of national self-determination and other principles established at the Paris Peace Conference, the British Government and the Chinese Government have reached an agreement on border issues such as Kang-India, Yunnan-Burma, and other border issues. The governments of the two sides have formally signed the "Sino-British New Nanjing Treaty" a few days ago, pledging to respect each other's territorial and sovereign integrity and not to interfere in each other's internal affairs.

At the same time, throughout World War I and more than a year after the war, there were always an unknown number of mysterious armed elements who went deep into India and Burma, looting the estates run by the British and Hindu and Buddhist temples, and the whereabouts of a large amount of gold, jewelry and cash were unknown.

After entering May 20, stimulated by China's completion of national and national reunification, independence movements in various parts of India set off a new **, and Assam, Chittagong, Ceylon, Pakistan and other places declared independence one after another, so that the British who were eager to quell the rebellion were overwhelmed.

In order to completely cut off the claws stretched out by the Chinese side, the British government decided to cut through the chaos quickly. Signed a compact with the new Chinese government to free up his own internal problems.

The signing of the Sino-British New Nanjing Treaty pushed the prestige of Xiao Yimin and the government he led to a whole new height.

Only five days later, Zhang Lan, Premier of the State Council of the Chinese Government, personally attended the press conference and solemnly announced to the reporters that according to Lenin's "Announcement of the Government of the Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. All the unequal treaties concluded between the previous Russian governments and China were null and void, and all the territories previously seized from China and all the Russian concessions in China were renounced, and everything that the Tsarist government and the Russian capitalist class had seized from China. all will be returned to China forever and free of charge", the Chinese government of Nanjing officially signed the "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Nanjing" with Soviet Russia, with immediate effect. Soviet Russia was to return 1,530,000 square kilometers to China, including the area east of Lake Baikal and Central Asia.

Finance Minister Sun Baoqi, who was also present at the meeting, said that in order to respect the inviolability of private property, China, the United States, Britain, France, and Belgium will buy the ownership and operation and management rights of the China Eastern Railway from the Soviet and Russian governments at a price of $135 million in the form of joint reorganization, but in fact they will pay for the purchase of the 1.53 million square kilometers.

The Russian government signed this treaty because the Polish army, with the support of France, launched an offensive against Soviet Russia on the Western Front on April 25, 200, occupied Kiev in late May, and occupied the lower Don River and the North Caucasus in mid-July. Coercing Volgograd, the two sides are still engaged in fierce fighting in the Volga River valley.

When the Soviet-Polish war began in Europe, Krasnov and Denikin, supported by Britain and the United States, armed nearly 300,000 white troops in Central Asia and Siberia, and captured Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk in July. In order to seek an international environment favorable to the Soviet government and to obtain the support of foreign funds, the Russian government had to repeat its old tricks, just as the "Peace of Brest" signed with the Germans at the end of World War I, which accepted the harsh conditions of ceding millions of square kilometers of territory and paying reparations of six billion marks.

In the eyes of the leaders of Soviet Russia, who had the chauvinistic thinking of a great power, it was only necessary to solve Poland on the Western Front and the internal enemy. At that time, the millions of Red Army troops will be able to calmly free their hands, and in the event of civil strife in China, they will be able to regain the lost land again, just as they tore up the peace treaty with the Germans.

When the news broke, the whole of China was boiling, and all kinds of celebrations emerged one after another. This was another milestone victory for China in diplomacy since the Opium War in 1840, and together with the 320,000 square kilometers of land recovered by the Sino-British New Nanjing Treaty, China expanded its land to nearly 2 million square kilometers, which the Chinese people who had been in the colonies and semi-colonies for a long time could not have imagined.

Xiao Yimin's popularity in China was skyrocketing, and many of those who expected the Nanking government to descend into civil strife fell into utter despair.

Although Xiao Yimin tried his best to oppose it, the textbook compilation committee still unmoved Xiao Yimin's many "great deeds" were written into the textbooks, and created a variety of dramas, poems, songs and other works of art that eulogized Xiao Yimin, directly pushing Xiao Yimin to the altar, and the consequence was that no one questioned Xiao Yimin's decision from then on, and played an irreplaceable role in enhancing the country's national centripetal force and cohesion. But it also planted the seeds for Xiao Yimin's 50-year dictatorship.

On September 22, Xiao Yimin personally attended a press conference and solemnly announced to China and the rest of the world:

Including the newly recovered east of the Trans-Khingan Mountains, including Nebuchu, Hailanpao, Boli, Vladivostok, Miaojie, and Northern Sakhalin Island, as well as the entire territory of the three eastern provinces, all of them have been opened up as special economic development zones for the state, and capital from various countries can freely enter and invest. In the SEZs, investors from various countries can enjoy preferential treatment in the import and export of equipment, raw materials and components, corporate income tax rates and exemptions, foreign exchange settlement and repatriation of profits, land use, etc., while investors and their family members of foreign powers can freely enter and leave the above areas.

Before the outbreak of World War II, there were more than 6,000 factories and enterprises in the region, spanning mining, metallurgy, coal, steel, petroleum, petrochemical, papermaking, timber, machinery, electronics, automobiles, locomotives, airplanes and other industrial categories, and successfully radiated to the Guannai region, just like China's reform and opening up in another time and space, which led to the rapid development of China's industry.

On the eve of Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939, China became the world's sixth largest economy after the United States, Britain, Germany, the Soviet Union and France, with an oil output of 27 million tons, second only to the United States and the Soviet Union, steel output of 18 million tons, ranking fourth in the world after the United States, Germany and the Soviet Union, and a total coal output of 697.5 million tons, ranking first in the world, and generating 79 billion kWh, only after the United States.

After the start of World War II, China maintained strict neutrality, traded with the Axis powers and the Allies respectively, and for a time all industries flourished, industry and agriculture developed greatly, and accumulated huge foreign exchange reserves and debts.

After Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Xiao Yimin officially declared war on Japan on behalf of the Chinese government, but in the following three years, China did not directly send troops, and still traded a lot of trade with countries including Japan, and on May 8 and June 23, 1945, they dropped atomic bombs on Tokyo and Osaka respectively, and the Japanese emperor hiding in Hokkaido officially announced his unconditional surrender on July 7, and the squadron recovered Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands, Jeju Island, South Sakhalin and Sakhalin Islands (i.e., the Kuril Islands), the squadron then marched into Japan and Korea, where it was under military control for 50 years.

In Southeast Asia, the post-war independence movement flourished, with the help of the China Zhi Gong Party led by Chen Jiongming, the independent Chinese states of Jiaozhi and Xinzheng were established in the north and south of Annam, the Kingdom of Zheng Zhao was established in the north of Siam, the Republic of Lan Fang was established by the Chinese in Kalimantan, and the Chinese state of Luzon was established in Mindanao. In addition, Singapore, Coconut City, Penang and other republics founded by the Chinese have appeared successively, and by the mid-fifties, there were already 19 large and small Chinese countries around China in Asia, and they had interconnected with China politically and economically, and opened their markets to each other, making China's influence spread throughout Asia and effectively promoting the spread of Chinese culture throughout the world.

Of course, all of this is for later.

On October 9, 1920, the enlarged meeting of the whole army was concluded in Nanjing, the reform plan of the whole army was adopted, the nationalization of the army was officially confirmed, the total strength of the whole army including the army, navy and air force was determined to be 1.5 million, and the country was divided into eight military regions: northeast, northwest, southwest, southeast, southeast, central plains, northern, and Beijing-Shanghai. The reorganization of the navy was divided into four fleets: the North Sea, the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and the Yangtze River.

On the morning of 10 October, a meeting attended by 300,000 people to celebrate the victory of the Xinhai Revolution was held in Nanjing, the capital, and Xiao Yimin inspected the honor guard of the three armed forces and the people's procession on the viewing platform in front of the former Nanjing Xingying and the current presidential palace......

Postscript!

Thank you, brethren, for your great support since this book was uploaded!

The appearance of "Proud and Awe-inspiring" lies in the fact that the Son of Heaven wants to make up for some of the shortcomings in the creation of "Iron Bone", but because the Son of Heaven does not have a deep understanding of the early history of the Republic of China, after detailed verification of historical materials, it is found that many of the setting plots cannot be developed at all, which leads to the reader's misunderstanding of several important characters, which is quite controversial.

Generally speaking, "Proud and Awe-inspiring" was influenced by "Iron Bone" in the early stage, and the results were still very good, and it entered the boutique channel honorably, but due to the Son of Heaven himself, he did not control the direction of writing, and the Son of Heaven would like to say sorry to everyone deeply!

"Proud and Awe-inspiring" is over, and Xiao Yimin's dream will continue in "Iron Bone", however, it is estimated that by the end of the year, "Iron Bone" will also end, and then the Son of Heaven will open a new book after a period of rest.

The new book Son of Heaven is ready to return to the urban theme, the outbreak of the Son of Heaven in the predicament, all kinds of adventures and encounters, will definitely make everyone addicted!
