When the General Staff of the Red Army received the telegram from Fujian, the leaders of the Supreme Revolutionary Commanders' Council of the Celestial Empire attended an enlarged meeting in the Qinzheng Palace, attended by principal officials and senators of various government departments, and the content of the meeting was to solve several social problems that were more prominent at present.

The first is the issue of popularizing education. The government of the Celestial Empire encouraged all the forces of the whole society to devote themselves to the great cause of improving the quality of the people as much as possible, and they tirelessly warned the people that they could not be without culture, and without culture, they would be deceived by all kinds of whitewashed illusions, and they would indulge in the present without thinking of forging ahead. The level of the overall culture determines the prosperity and decline of a nation and even a country.

To this end, at the county and township levels, the Celestial Government did its best to establish various schools and made it mandatory for all school-age children to receive unconditional education in culture. Running schools has also become the top priority for government officials in the Celestial Empire everywhere, and even the primary criterion for directly evaluating the quality of an official.

Despite this, they still ran into trouble, and the trouble was that after investigation, the enrollment rate of girls in the Celestial Empire territory was quite low. In order to adapt to folk customs, the newly established universities in Tianjing and Shanghai did not have separate girls' schools, but they divided women's classes. Due to the constraints of the people, the number of secondary schools is not very large, so it is natural that there are conditions to set up separate girls' schools. However, the primary education in the stage of cultural popularization is different, there are many schools, but more people are unwilling to send girls to school, "mixed with a group of wild boys", after all, it has been thousands of years, and the idea of "men and women are not violated" seems to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The second is the issue involving women, which is more prominent, that is, the problem of "foot binding", which is left over from history, is also a deep-rooted drawback. Starting from Jintian to conquering Jinling and building the capital, the number of female dependents and female soldiers in the Celestial Empire was nearly 200,000. However, for the vast area controlled by the Celestial Empire, the places they could influence were only a few. In the countryside, or a little farther away, although the Celestial Empire government has repeatedly stated the disadvantages of "foot binding", although people themselves may understand it in their hearts, but if they really want to let go, it is like touching the soul of the men who let go of their braids, and they must not do it.

The third is the disguised migration that the Celestial Empire government is secretly implementing. The "wolf" and "yellow warbler" of the Ministry of the Interior already owned a large number of industries for the Celestial Empire in the United States and Canada, and soon their economic influence will be extended to South Africa and other places, in order to enable the people in some areas that are not conducive to economic development to get out of poverty as much as possible, and in order to concentrate resources to accelerate local development, the Celestial Empire government has taken a more bold decision in addition to the planned export of "laborers" to the European continent in the early stage and the rapid cultivation of its own industrial worker base. It is to relocate the families of the remote mountainous areas to overseas with the help of the Ministry of the Interior. The first phase of their plan is to complete the relocation of 1 million households within two years.

This is undoubtedly a bigger problem for people who are accustomed to loving their family, hometown, and ancestors. As the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as the dog kennel. The "wolf" and "yellow warbler" were in a hurry to employ people, but the Celestial Empire government was in great difficulty, and after mobilizing and relocating thousands of households in western Fujian and southern Jiangxi, the work seemed to be about to come to a standstill.

Under the guidance of Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan, the current leadership group of the Celestial Empire did not simply focus on the domestic battlefield, but on the Manchu government, which had become the walking dead. They are beginning to learn to think far ahead and look further. Just as the General Staff of the Red Army was established in order to build a people's army that was regularized and able to cope with the needs of large-scale wars in the future, they also needed to build a powerful Celestial Empire edifice that could truly stand in the forest of the world and never fall.

Li Xiucheng walked back to the venue with Lin Wanqing's telegram, handed the telegram to Shi Dakai, who was listening intently to others' speeches, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Shi Dakai nodded and smiled. He put the telegram on the table in front of him, gently pushed it to Lin Haifeng next to him, and then motioned for Li Xiucheng to return to his seat first, the meaning was very clear, not in a hurry, everything was in control, what was the hurry. It's better to settle the matter in front of you first.

Regarding Taiwan's overall strategy, he and Lin Haifeng had a common view on Taiwan's overall strategy before the Liangguang Campaign began. At that time, they didn't want to involve too much manpower and material resources to solve Taiwan first, for them, Taiwan was in the bag, and if they wanted, they could reach for it. However, their immediate priority is to concentrate a single force to recover the southwest, and at the same time to clear out the remnants of the bandits in Liangguang and Guangzhou, and at the same time to cultivate Chen Yucheng's troops in preparation for another battle. According to the analysis of historical intelligence that Lin Haifeng had, although they believed that Britain would not go all out to retaliate against the Celestial Empire by force in the short term, they could not help but make preparations for both.

Lin Haifeng glanced at the message, but he didn't say anything, and he was not in a hurry.

In fact, the reason why Lin Haifeng left Chen Yucheng in Guangzhou was not to cultivate a base for himself, or to retreat, as Yang Xiuqing thought, Lin Haifeng would not be such a narrow-minded person, or he would not be so pessimistic at all. Want a soldier of your own? Want a base? As long as he is willing, he thinks, then wherever he goes, there must be there, without these two moments, he has grown in red China for twenty-three years.

Leaving Chen Yucheng to control Liangguang and Fujian is indeed purposeful. The first is to be prepared for possible British retaliation. The most important thing is to build this large area of rich land for the Celestial Empire, as was the case in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, and at the same time, to expand and develop the elite contingent of the Red Army, and use it to go on the Northern Expedition in the future. If he wants to say that he has selfish intentions, he also wants to take this opportunity to further enhance Chen Yucheng's prestige in all walks of life and lay a solid foundation for his future in the Celestial Empire government. To put it bluntly, Chen Yucheng is his chosen successor.

It is obvious to all that Chen Yucheng lived up to expectations. With the assistance of Lin Wanqing, Chen Kai and others, the remnants of bandits in the three provinces of Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Fujian were quickly eliminated, and the land reform was carried out even more impressively, becoming another model for the Celestial Empire after Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

As for the expansion of the ranks of the Red Army, it was even more rapid. Not only in terms of numbers, but also in the powerful armed forces of the five armies that he controlled, all the officers above the company and platoon level were active participants in the officers' club. Therefore, in the later military history of the Celestial Empire, the actions of Chen Yucheng's department at this stage also became a highlight, a feat worthy of special mention.

In the five later armies of Guangdong, Fujian and Gui, the officers above the platoon level were the first batch of members of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Communist Alliance, and these five armies were the troops with the largest proportion of members of the ** League of the All-Heaven Dynasty Army at that time, and they were the armed forces under the leadership of the real Communist League. Moreover, military history has also commented on Chen Yucheng's troops, and it is precisely because of the existence of the Red First Army and other units that the Celestial Empire's regime was able to make a peaceful change at the most critical moment, laying a solid foundation for the Celestial Empire to move towards the road of republicanism, and making indelible great contributions.

While expanding the training of the Red Army for mainland warfare, Chen Yucheng also established three naval fleets in Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi. If these fleets were to face a full-scale attack by Britain, they might be much inferior, but they would be more than enough to deal with Taiwan and a local war.

In accordance with the established strategy, under the auspices of Chen Yucheng, Lin Wanqing of Fujian Province imposed a comprehensive economic blockade on Taiwan.

There is no need for a ban on the sea, and the people who have become conscious will naturally join in this kind of struggle. The Fujian Red Army Fleet cooperated with the Red Navy in Shanghai to cut off the sea passage between Taiwan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, the secret officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, naturally, did not lag behind, and with the cover of American businessmen, they entered Taiwan one after another.

Now, the fire is finally burning. As long as the Supreme Command Council of the Celestial Empire gives an order, all units of the Red Army, which have long been on standby, will be able to land on Taiwan immediately. Of course, before that, there is a technical problem that needs to be solved, and that is how to treat and deal with the British who have repeatedly failed to change.

Lin Haifeng leisurely lit the pipe in his hand and set his eyes on the person who was speaking.

Speaking at the meeting was Zeng Guofan, who attended the meeting in his capacity as a member of the Ministry of Education of the Celestial Empire.

“…… When some innocent and ignorant children get together, what evil thoughts can they have? In my opinion, it is those parents who really have evil thoughts, otherwise, why would they still be associated so much in a school? Since the Celestial Empire has a general order that compels parents to fulfill the general order to send their children to school, it must be resolutely enforced. In the eyes of our parents, whether boys or girls, they should still be children, the same children. Don't pour the filthy thoughts of us adults into the heads of children who are still blank sheets of paper. There is a difference between men and women, and that is to teach them how to understand this matter correctly, how to distinguish what is ugly or evil, how to be clean, how to respect and love themselves, and not to close them off like this. If you really want to close it, you can close it? I don't think so. If you don't really understand it from your heart, the good will become bad, and no matter how beautiful things are, they can evolve into the ugliest. If it weren't for such an artificial psychological barrier between children, the human tragedy between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai probably wouldn't have appeared. ”
