Chapter 164: All are crazy
After learning that Wang Lin had agreed to the news, Liu Jing anxiously wanted to return to Kaifeng, the capital of Henan, fifteen days was indeed a little difficult for Liu Jing, if it was walking, this was basically an impossible task, not only the road was far away, there was also a mountain road, and there were many bandits, not only to hurry up, but also to consider their own safety.
As for horseback riding, the target is too big, originally for passers-by, those bandits are at best robbing money and not hurting people, if you change to horseback riding, this is not easy to say, maybe it is not necessarily blackmailing, if it is usual, Liu Jing will not pay attention to these at all, but now Liu Wei gives himself only fifteen days.
Of course, in the past fifteen days, there is still time that needs to be arranged by Governor Liu, and there is no telegram or anything nearby, so it is a little difficult for him to go back and report the news in such a hurry. Fortunately, Liu Jing was prepared when he came, and he did not come alone, after returning to the border between the two provinces, Liu Jing quickly returned to the stronghold where he came, where there were still two companions waiting for him.
Liu Jing hurriedly asked his companion to take out the carrier pigeon, write the message on a piece of paper, and put it on the leg where the letter was placed, in order to prevent it from being lost in the road, and finally Liu Jing fixed it on it, and then he hurriedly threw the carrier pigeon out with confidence.
However, this matter is very important, but it is not sloppy at all, and Liu Jing and others are still not at ease after letting go of the carrier pigeons, so they took out two or three carrier pigeons again, and tied the letters to the legs of each carrier pigeon and released them. After that, the three of them hurried back to Kaifeng, hoping to return to Kaifeng before the attack of the Zhengnan Army, and let Liu Kuilong complete the deployment.
Perhaps because of the problem of the Zhengnan army's pressure on the border, the places in Henan near the border of Hubei are also extremely quiet, and the bandits and bullies seem to be quietly transferring, because according to the practice of the Zhengnan Army, they will generally be more or less hit by the local bandits after the end of the war, but the bandits want to accept the reorganization into the Zhengnan Army There has never been such a precedent, and the recruitment of the Zhengnan Army is strictly supervised and controlled, and not anyone who wants to enter can enter.
On the afternoon of May 10, 1903, Governor Liu Kuilong, who was located in Kaifeng, the capital of Henan, suddenly announced that Henan Province would henceforth be separated from the jurisdiction of the Qing political axe and accept the management of the Hainan political axe.
On the morning of May 11, Wang Lin released news to the outside world, saying that Henan Province was officially included in the management scope of Hainan political axe.
At the same time that Wang Lin announced the telegram of accepting Henan's entry into the Hainan system, the whole army crossed the two provinces and changed guards with the cooperation of local governments and armies.
A telegram from Liu Kuilong, the governor of Henan, completely woke up the entire land of China, and the northern provinces were still triumphantly counting the fate of those foolish and loyal elements before, but in the blink of an eye, they had to consider what would happen to them? Henan belongs to the hinterland of the Central Plains and is a real strategic location.
Originally thought that there would be a little resistance from Henan, but also for themselves to buy some transfer time for the northern provinces, when they heard the news of Henan Governor Liu Kuilong Yizhi, his head suddenly blank, this news came too fast, it was too late to give them any reaction, according to the marching speed of the Zhengnan Army, if Henan is resisting, they want to cross the entire Henan I am afraid it will take about 20 days, now without Henan's resistance, to cross Henan is nothing more than more than ten days.
For a while, the governors of the northern provinces and so on no longer waited to see what the situation in Henan was, eager to know how Wang Lin treated these high-ranking officials, but unfortunately there was not much time for them to think, the Zhengnan army would definitely continue to go north after completing the defense of Henan, and the most anxious thing for them was that Henan joined the Hainan system, which meant that the Qing Empire had completely entered the end.
The hinterland of the Central Plains has always been a battleground for soldiers, the east can directly attack Shandong, the north can attack Hebei and Shanxi, and the north can quickly attack Shaanxi, Shaanxi, which was already at an extremely disadvantage, was no longer able to resist after Henan announced the change of banner, but they did not resist much, and the resistance to the south army was only those roads and geography that were not very smooth in Shaanxi. Henan's announcement of the change of banner means that the Zhengnan Army can cross the mountainous areas in the west of Henan and approach Shaanxi.
On the morning of May 12, the governor of Shaanxi, who was still in a wait-and-see position, could no longer sit still, and issued a telegram on the morning of May 12 saying that Shaanxi Province had broken away from the rule of the Qing political axe and welcomed the Zhengnan Army into Shaanxi Province.
On May 29, it was said that after the Zhengnan Army took control of the entire border of Henan Province, there were no reports of large-scale massacres, and the local officials basically remained in their posts, but they did not dare to act recklessly under the supervision of the army, and every decision made must be carried out with the consent of the army.
Now the northern provinces that are still in a wait-and-see situation are relieved, judging from the current situation, they can at least save their lives, and they can also get the corresponding benefits from the Zhengnan army, and the most important thing is that they finally don't have to worry about when the Zhengnan army will fight.
On May 30, Shanxi first announced that Shanxi would break away from the rule of the Qing Dynasty and accept the management of the Hainan political axe. As the electrification of the governor of Shanxi was still in the midst of the national boom, Shandong followed suit and issued a nationwide telegram, claiming that it would no longer accept the control of the Qing court and join the Hainan system. Gansu's pace is not slow, and it is almost at the same time as Shandong that it is electrified.
Before he could get bitter, he first received the news of Henan's secession, and then Shandong's secession from the imperial court, and did not send a telegram to denounce the disloyalty and injustice of these provinces that announced the power of reading, so it ushered in even more unacceptable news, and on the afternoon of the 30th, Hebei suddenly followed the trend and announced its departure from the Qing court. This place that was originally under the direct jurisdiction of Zhili, and now the entire Zhili has almost become a real commander with the reading power of various regions, and there are only two places left in Beijing and Tianjin in his hands, and Tianjin seems to be not very stable, but they don't know it yet.
As for Yanjing, Cixi only knew that Yanjing had been blocked by Wang Lin, so how easy was it to get out of the city? If they were clear, it would be better to say, and they could find a gap to run out, but they didn't show up, but all the carriages and so on that went out from the capital would be subject to their inspection.
It can be said that the most stable place at present still belongs to the northeast region, at least there is no news of breaking away from the jurisdiction of the Qing political axe, but in a short period of time, the Qing Empire, which originally owned half of the country, collapsed in a blink of an eye, and the only place that can be directly controlled in their hands is the northeast region, as for the northwest Xinjiang Province and the southwest Tibet Province, they have never really controlled it.
However, Xinjiang Province and Tibet Province are not far behind, Xinjiang Province with the help of Tsarist Russia announced in June, and to form their own country, the princes of Outer Mongolia also suddenly announced the reading power, and is preparing to form Mongolia, as for Tibetan Province, when it comes to reading power, they have never neglected to do so.
At this time, Wang Lin has no spare experience to manage the provinces that have announced reading power, one is that they are all remote areas, and now the transportation is very inconvenient, which is not conducive to the army going there to quell the rebellion, at this time, the only way to ignore them, after the reunification, as vigorously build roads as possible, and strive to completely solve the problem of Tibetan Province, Xinjiang Province and Mongolia within two years, if Wang Lin has the intention to prevent them from reading, then they will not be able to read in any case, because Wang Lin has a long-range transport plane in his hands, It was possible to send countless soldiers to the battlefield in a steady stream, and even directly send the blood wolf to carry out a decapitation operation, but Wang Lin knew how difficult it was to completely destroy the kind of thinking that they could read.
Therefore, at the beginning, Wang Lin also formulated a complete plan, a period of one to two months to completely solve this problem, as for when to start, this initiative is still in the hands of these provinces that have announced reading power. In Wang Lin's previous life and present life, what he hated the most was those who no longer thought about how to split the country all the time, and in the era when there was no war in his previous life, the country could still deal with this problem calmly.
But what about this world? In the next few decades, there will be storms and thunders, and the whole world will be black, and there will be wars everywhere, and if you are caught up in the internal affairs of the country at that time, it will be extremely unfavorable for the whole country in the next war.
The Chinese nation must be monolithic, only in this way can it be qualified to confront any country in this world, and there is also capital to say no to the world, this is the standard for the future country in Wang Lin's heart, and he has been building this country according to this standard.
The flood of rights has always been the root of a country's little bit of corrosion, in Hainan, rights are not something out of reach, on the contrary, as long as you have a fair heart, after the training can meet the requirements, you can get this thing, but the supervision of rights is also extremely strict, once a mistake will be lifelong will not be able to overturn the case, never see the light of day.
Yanjing, inside the Forbidden City.
Cixi is still sitting on the court, listening to the many ministers you say and I say a word, no matter how much she says, it is nothing more than asking her to negotiate with Wang Lin and strive to get the greatest benefits, the most active are none other than those Manchu ministers, they are the most anxious people.
"It's okay to negotiate, it's okay to abdicate, but every year, he Wang Lin must allocate six million taels of silver to the royal family for the royal family's dispatch expenses!"
