Chapter 300 Chapter 36 Northward Expansion Plan

Guangxu didn't want to be murderous at home, so he put the interrogation location in the Purple Light Pavilion. Guangxu held the jujube and slowly paced under the eyes of everyone, and Li Xiang on the side was still joking that the emperor's love was a sign of the prosperity of the country. Guangxu ignored him.

In the Purple Light Pavilion, Qimuge, who was dressed in military uniform, was escorted by the military police, and the guards pressed Qimuge on both shoulders, and Qimuge fell to the ground on his knees without saying a word. Guangxu drank tea very patiently, ignoring Qimuge who was kneeling in front of him, but talked to Li Hongzhang about the national construction plan.

Li Hongzhang believes that although iron has the effect of a transportation volume and speed, it is also limited by the position of iron. Similarly, the iron has the disadvantage of a large investment and a long construction period, so the state still needs to continue to increase the construction of iron, but at the same time, it must also strengthen public construction. Although the amount of transportation is small, it is flexible and limited by the road. Nowadays, the cars produced by Dongfeng Motor Plant have been recognized by the world, and the output is gradually expanding. Minivans with the same more powerful second-generation engines are undergoing limited testing, and once the tests are completed and put into production, a large fleet of trucks will be able to compensate for the lack of iron. Therefore, the construction of national highways connecting provincial capitals and provincial highways connecting local governments need to be included in the daily planning of the country. In this regard, the emperor also mentioned the use of viaducts and other methods to build a high-speed direct public without waiting for a pause in the middle, so as to speed up the flow of materials in various places. When improving the local economy, it can also allow the country's army to appear where it needs to be in the shortest possible time.

The emperor thought that the development of industry required a large amount of labor, which could make the peasants who depended on the sky to make a living, and if they had money, they could naturally consume more, and then make the economy of one place and one county more active. This is not only a surname gain, but also an official's political achievement. However, in order to open more factories, counties often allocate a piece of land at random. Hangzhou and Jiangning have established a standard industrial zone model, but in order to save the initial investment cost and time, in order to achieve the purpose of highlighting the so-called political achievements. The biggest drawback of industry is that the waste, wastewater, and exhaust gas it produces are all highly toxic, and these will slowly penetrate into the land. Today, industrial plants across China are built in a haphazard manner, with waste piled up at will, wastewater discharged everywhere, and exhaust gases spreading unchecked. China's industrial development time is still short, and these ills have not yet erupted. The emperor strictly ordered the prime minister to order all local governments to concentrate all factories according to the standards of Hangzhou and Jiangning industrial zones, and design special sewage drainage systems and special waste accumulation places. We don't have a better way to govern now. But there must be this concept of environmental protection. The emperor demanded that the local people's livelihood and illness be included in the official evaluation regulations, and once the local outbreak of large-scale pollution caused a large number of diseases, the emperor would take the heads of local officials to sacrifice the flag.

The emperor has repeatedly emphasized the protection of the environment. The Chinese tradition is about blessing and blessing grandchildren, so we can't sacrifice the living space of future generations to obtain the benefits of this time. Once the water in the river is undrinkable, the land cannot grow food, and the sky is filled with poisonous gases. It's not just a generation and a country that will be destroyed, they will destroy a nation.

The queen also chimed in on the matter of universal education. At present, schools are under construction in various parts of the capital, and the gentlemen in the lobby are also urgently compiling basic teaching materials. At present, however, the biggest problem is that all localities have submitted a request to send personnel to Beijing to study in order to facilitate the popularization of education in various localities in the future. The queen's opinion is that it can be agreed that the local government can send personnel to Beijing, not only to work together, but also to ensure the number of divisions. After a year of experience and familiarization, these people can be sent back to the local area so that the local development can be carried out more quickly.

The emperor and queen were chatting happily, but Qimu Geqi, who was kneeling on the side, was depressed. Is this here to interrogate him or let him come to listen to the emperor's chat. So after kneeling for more than an hour, Qimuge finally found a space where he didn't speak: "Humble confession." ”

The two emperors turned to look at Qimuge, and the emperor finally said the first sentence related to him: "Whether you admit your guilt or not has nothing to do with whether you are guilty or not." Does it matter? After speaking, the emperor and the prime minister looked at each other and laughed.

"Now your father Wutai has captured Baicheng County, and the army is in full swing." Guangxu seemed to be in high spirits when he said this.

"It's just a clown." Before Qi Muge and Ben were not optimistic about his father's so-called rebellion, he said frankly: "If it is someone else's rebellion, only one group of special forces is needed for the humble position, and the head will definitely be sacrificed." ”

"But if your father doesn't join you in mobilizing it, you can control me and the queen in the palace. Even if you have the heart, you can control the entire Central Guard Regiment, and then hold the entire court hostage, so that your father has a lot of chances. But why didn't you do it? ”

Qimuge suddenly lowered his head and was silent for a while before he said, "I don't know about my father's rebellion. When the gendarmes came to arrest me, I didn't even know what had happened. ”

What?! Guangxu didn't know why, but Li Hongzhang looked indifferent. Guangxu asked, "Then I ask you, do you have sisters?" ”

"Nope. My father was a child. ”

Qi Muge's answer was categorical, which made Guangxu and the others even more inexplicable. Guangxu even asked if Wutai had an illegitimate daughter or something like that, and after receiving a positive reply, Guangxu motioned to Li Hongzhang to show Qimuge the electricity.

The level was placed on the ground in front of Qi Muge, and Guangxu asked, "I would like to know what you think of your father's reason for rebellion. ”

Qi Muge's face suddenly turned red after reading it. lowered his head and said to himself: "How can there be such a force, is this someone else's father?" ”

What do you mean? Guangxu is not clear, and Li Hongzhang is also unknown. But Yang Zao'er on the side suddenly said: "Your Majesty, can you let the ministers say a few words to him alone?" ”

"No, what if he breaks out and hurts someone?" Guangxu refused without thinking about it. But he couldn't stand Zao'er's request again, so when Li Hongzhang also thought that he could give it a try, after threatening Qimuge, the emperor and the two came out.

After taking Qimuge to the apse, the emperor and the prime minister sat down again and continued to talk about the unfinished topic of national construction, but it was obvious that the emperor's mind was no longer on the topic but on the apse. The emperor and the prime minister said a few words, and the queen of the apse ordered the imperial concubine Mei and the little magpie to go in together, and then the little magpie turned around and went out again, went back to the main building and took a bunch of clothes to go in.

The queen and the others had been in the apse for more than an hour, and the little magpie had been running back and forth to the main building several times. If Zao'er hadn't promised to go with an inexplicable smile, Guangxu wouldn't even let people hand over the key to the shackles. Halfway through, I wanted to go in and have a look. was also stopped by Zao'er.

Guangxu raised his wrist and looked at his watch, it was past nine o'clock, and Guangxu planned to let people urge. At this time, there was a report from outside the door that Ouyang Zhenhua, secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Shizhen, chief of staff, Duan Qirui, chief of the army general staff, Feng Guozhang, commander-in-chief of the army, and Liang Huadian, deputy chief of the army general staff, urgently asked for a meeting.

Everyone has seen the queen of the ceremony. Spread a map directly on the table. Guangxu saw that it was a map of Outer Mongolia, and frowned: "The war against Japan has just ended, and both the treasury and reserve materials have bottomed out. Now it is the middle of winter and the heavy snow in the north, and it is not the time to send troops. ”

"No matter what the timing is, as long as it is a rebellion, the imperial court must come up with countermeasures as soon as possible. If you can't drag it off for a long time, it's easy to let the ambitious people. Li Hongzhang just urged the emperor to come up with a decision as soon as possible.

Ouyang Zhenhua said on the side: "After discussing with Xiaguan and others, they thought that they were going to make the Mongols ready to move. In this way, the imperial army could openly enter Mongolia for the purpose of counterinsurgency. The Ministry of War had drawn up a plan at the beginning of the year, and now it was a good time to implement it. ”

Guangxu nodded and gestured to continue, but Ouyang Zhenhua introduced Liang Huadian, deputy chief of general staff of the army, to explain the plan, because compared with the original plan, this plan has made major changes.

After saluting, Liang Huadian came to the map with a baton: "Your Majesty, please see, the front flag of the right wing of Horqin is located on the easternmost side of the entire Outer Mongolia. At present, the Far Eastern power of Tsarist Russia in the north is still recovering, and it is unable to invade the south. As long as our northeastern armies concentrate their forces and pounce on them with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, Wutai will inevitably be unable to resist. It is bound to flee westward. After that, our 2nd Division in Hohhot could send troops to the north and continue to force Utai to flee westward. After that, the Sixth Division stationed in Xinjiang could also take advantage of the situation to move north. Since then, the imperial court has completely conquered Mongolia. ”

There is nothing new about Liang Huadian's plan, just like Nie Shicheng's arrest of Dong Fuxiang in Xinjiang. showed the determination to kill this person, but deliberately let him go again and again on the battlefield, and then killed all the people who opposed the court with his footsteps. The core idea of Liang Huadian's advance plan is like this, but it is just a different combat strategy under different geographical conditions. What is worse is only the operation of the early stage.

Liang Huadian thought that Wutai's rebellion was already known to everyone, and at this time the imperial court would inevitably send troops to show the majesty of the imperial court. But now is not the right time to fight, and when the supplies are not sufficient, they can only threaten it. At the beginning of the year, heavy snow melted in the north. The ground is muddy and difficult to walk, so it's best to lose a few battles in a row if you can. The living Buddha of Outer Mongolia, Jebtsundamba, has long colluded with Tsarist Russia in an attempt to make the foreign ** stand, and when the imperial army is defeated in a row, the kings who have rebellious intentions in the whole Mongolia will inevitably be revealed. Then let the CIA cooperate with the operation, and let Jebtsundamba announce the external ** standing. After the ground dries up and hardens in early May, after half a year of material reserves, it will be enough for the northeastern parts to launch an attack. The Mongolian cavalry still armed with scimitars could not be the opponent of the new army, and how the imperial court wanted to arrange Mongolia at that time depended on the meaning of the imperial court.

Liang Huadian became excited as he spoke, and his saliva splashed as he spoke. It was as if he was commanding a large army across the Mongolian steppe. It's no wonder that he turned out that the Japanese expedition to the East was led by him, but he fell into the water half a month before the expedition. If he hadn't been rescued by the guards, it is estimated that there would be no such person in China. This illness caused Shoushan to succeed him as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Expeditionary Eastern Army, which made him decadent for a long time. Now there is an opportunity to prove your ability, of course, you must take advantage of it.

Guangxu frowned and thought for a while, but asked Li Hongzhang: "The imperial army has lost several battles in the northeast, how much impact will it have on the country?" ”

Li Hongzhang smiled: "It is estimated that the general who led the troops may have to be suspended for a period of time." ”

Guangxu turned his head and thought about it, the Central Plains is not as good as Mongolia. Although Mongolia is Chinese territory, the central court does not actually directly govern it, and Mongolia has its own army, financial revenue, and personnel appointment and dismissal powers, and the military, financial, and personnel rights are not in the imperial court. In recent years, Guangxu has directly sent personnel from the central government to receive the militia groups, training regiments and other paramilitary organizations formed in various places after the Yang Hong Rebellion, and then used the Daqing Bank to confiscate the financial rights of various places, and the personnel rights of local governments that have lost their military and financial rights have naturally returned to the control of the central government. In this case, the Central Plains and other places have no ability to mess with the original.

Guangxu nodded and said to the generals: "You all gathered here, presumably all of you agree with the plan." I see that it is feasible, so let's go and fold it. In addition, the generals who fought in the early stage selected the generals who entered the military academy after a few years. Our army must not only be able to win battles, but also be able to defeat them. In addition, the newly formed machine infantry regiment was transferred to practice their hands, and the Mongolian Great Plain just allowed them to gallop. ”

The generals' orders are withdrawing. Li Hongzhang stopped: "Generals, slow down, please take a look at the telegram from Wutai first, this is a secret telegram." ”

The generals took the call and looked at it, and they all bowed their heads and retreated to the side. Liang Huadian sighed deeply. It seems that the opportunity to make meritorious service can only wait for the next time, so they resigned to the emperor one after another. This made Guangxu puzzled, and Li Hongzhang was still sitting steadily like Maitreya Buddha. Guangxu looked at Li Hongzhang suspiciously and asked, "What do you all know?" What is there that has not been reported? ”

When Li Hongzhang saw that the emperor's tone was getting colder and colder, and the murderous aura was gradually revealed, he forcibly left the generals who were about to leave, but summoned the maids to the apse to see how the queen mother handled the matter of Qimuge.

Not for a while. The queen and the princess came with a beautiful woman. After everyone saw the salute, Guangxu still looked at the woman in a trance: "Is it familiar?" ”

"People took the Praetorian Guard Camp to guard the emperor for more than half a year, and the emperor actually said that he didn't know him, this is the emperor's mistake." As soon as the queen finished speaking, the woman suddenly gave a military salute.

"Qimuge?" Guangxu suddenly pointed at Qi Muge and said with a frightened face: "Female? ”

It was an extremely strange thing to dress in women's clothes but salute the army, but Guangxu was in no mood to care about this. Grabbed Li Hongzhang's collar and shouted angrily: "You already knew it, didn't you? You deliberately didn't tell me, did you? After speaking, he turned his head and scolded the generals: "Did you all know it a long time ago? Let's deceive Yu Yu together? A bunch of bastards! "Guangxu will be really angry, and he will join forces to deceive the upper and lower levels. Guangxu is already thinking about finding someone to open the knife here, otherwise how will he, the emperor, be the emperor for a long time.

The emperor was furious, and the generals knelt on the ground to plead guilty. Li Hongzhang was grabbed by the collar and couldn't kneel. You can only bow your head and admit your mistakes. Even the imperial concubine Mei and Qi Muge knelt down to plead guilty. Only the queen came forward to speak: "The emperor temporarily rests the wrath of thunder, and the concubines know about this matter." If the concubines don't let them tell the emperor, the emperor will punish the concubines if he wants to punish them. ”

After the queen finished speaking, she was about to kneel. How could Guangxu let this kind of thing happen, threw down Li Hongzhang and stretched out his hand to hold Zao'er: "You all know that you just don't tell me, what do you mean?" Well? ”

Although the emperor scolded loudly, his tone was no longer as angry as before. Yang Zao'er said softly: "It's not good for the concubine, when Chief Wang told the concubine the news that Qimuge is a woman, it was the concubine who asked Chief Wang to transfer Qimuge to the head of the palace guard. You said that this harem is all in charge of the concubines, so the concubines think that this matter can be decided and will not let the lords tell the emperor. Actually, it's good to look at it now. Your Majesty, think about it, how nice it would be if the palace guards were led by your own sisters. ”

"What a fart!" Guangxu's eyes just stared at him, and Yang Zao'er began to cry over there, Guangxu turned his head and agreed: "Okay, good." Don't cry, don't cry, you can do it if you think it's good. After speaking, he felt that something was wrong: "What do you call your own sisters?" After speaking, he became angry again: "Find a woman for your own man, are you sick?" ”

So all the ministers saw this scene. The emperor is not happy, as long as the queen wipes her tears, the emperor will agree unprincipledly.

In the end, Guangxu was anxious and couldn't help it, so he thought about it and said, "Let's discuss this matter again." All right? ”

"But the emperor has ruined the innocence of other girls, the emperor doesn't marry others, who would dare to marry the woman the emperor has touched."

"I've never touched her before......"

The emperor didn't actually touch it, but also touched the important parts of Qimuge. At the Qingming military parade after the First Sino-Japanese War, Guangxu touched someone's chest when he hung a medal on Qimuge, and said that her chest muscles were not developed enough. It's really something-Guangxu "roared" with a dark face and said that it was Qimuge deliberately hiding his identity, and the so-called ignorant ones are not to blame, and besides, she was bullying the monarch in front of her, and she was going to punish the nine clans......

Li Hongzhang came forward to persuade him to enter, and the generals persuaded him to enter, and the queen put tears in her eyes......

"Your Majesty, if the king of Zasaktu can think of it as an internal response, our army can not only greatly reduce casualties, but also attack more competitively. Please think about it. Maybe Liang Huadian wanted to make meritorious contributions, and he didn't want to give up any opportunity.

"Your Majesty ......" Li Hongzhang only said two words, so he shut up Guangxu and blocked it back. Guangxu firmly disagreed, until the queen summoned the imperial concubine and Qimuge went out to leave the next sentence: "Since the emperor has ruined the innocence of other people's daughters, it is good to give others an explanation." After the concubine takes her sister to the two palaces tomorrow, please ask the queen to judge this matter. ”

Guangxu wanted to get angry, but he didn't dare to face the big belly, so he could only hold his breath and scold the minister. Angry, Guangxu slept on the sofa in the hall all night. The next day, Guangxu was called by the queen before he went down to the court, and he bowed his head and was trained for more than an hour. Since you can't change the result, you can only maximize the benefits. After Guangxu swore that he would take Qimuge as a concubine, he stopped the queen who wanted to announce the world, and then Qimuge went to the staff headquarters.

At nightfall, the General Staff Headquarters presented an operational plan codenamed "Meng." That night, Qimuge took a maid who had been following her and took advantage of the night to go northeast. (To be continued.) )xh118
