Chapter 735: The Time of Departure
Hu Xueyan left Beijing the next day, and went to Nanjing with Wang Feng's warrant to report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ten days later, Rong Hong and Sheng Xuanhuai both arrived in Beijing, first talked with Wang Feng for a while, and went to the Shanxi Hall the next day to discuss the specific rescue plan with the Jin merchants, of course, these things no longer need Wang Feng to intervene.
As the China-Burma Highway was about to be completed, the operation against Burma was also put on the agenda, so Wang Feng ordered the Miao Mountain Division, the Eighth Group Army under the command of Zhou Shunbo, and the Second Group Army under the command of Shi Dakai to assemble in the mountainous areas of Burma after the year, and authorized Shi Dakai to control the whole army, and at the same time transferred the First Group Army and the Third Group Army to partially supplement the garrison of the Second Group Army.
In addition to this, another important task was to arrange for the Bannermen and the Mongols to go to Australia.
In 1861, the first Chinese New Year, the Spring Festival was held on February 10, and one month after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the first group of bannermen and Mongols would officially leave for Australia.
This batch is all combat troops, after a short period of special training by the Democratic Alliance Army, there are 30,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, 20,000 Mongolian soldiers, divided into 300 transport ships, led by Yixun, more than 30 Manchu and Mongolian nobles accompanied by them, unexpectedly, Lan'er also wanted to go over on the grounds that the Empress Dowager's personal expedition can boost morale, and entrusted the Manchu and Mongolian cooperation and liaison with the Democratic Alliance Army in China to Niu Hulu and Yiyun.
To go to Australia, you need to cross the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and gunboats cannot go out to the ocean, but a number of captured foreign warships have been repaired, plus the original large and medium-sized warships of the Democratic Alliance Army, a total of 20 warships have been put together to escort the ship, and another 100 transport ships have been brought together.
On this trip to Australia, Wang Feng also followed him personally, which was no choice. The route from China to Australia was not open at the time, except for him. No one in China or even in the world knows that he has to lead the fleet to Australia now.
And Wang Feng also plans to go to Singapore again. Solve the problem of Singapore, then cooperate with the army to attack and remember, and finally liberate India.
Before leaving, Wang Feng started several aspects, one was to change the name of Zhili to Hebei Province, appoint Tao Wei as the governor of Hebei Province, the provincial capital Baoding, Beijing and Tianjin were listed as municipalities directly under the central government, under the direct jurisdiction of the central government. But for the time being, it is under the trusteeship of the Hebei Provincial Government.
Wang Feng's request to Tao Wei was not to over-exploit Beijing, although to maintain the original historical appearance, mainly to build a new city in Tianjin, and to pay attention to maintaining the ecological environment of Baiyangdian.
The second is about the Outer Domain, because Wang Feng has set a five-year migration schedule, so even if he stays where he is, he will not use troops against the Outer Domain Mongolia in a short time, Wang Feng only asked the Seventh Army and the rest of the troops stationed in Hebei to pay attention to the movements of the Outer Domain Mongolia at any time, and not allow the Outer Domain Mongolia to enter and occupy the land of the Inner Mongolia Six Leagues. Once discovered, it was expelled at any time, and it was also required that the Seventh Army should gradually occupy the land outside the Guanxi with the retreat of Manchuria. Until the Heilongjiang General District.
Third, Wang Feng asked Wang Youling to formulate regulations to encourage people to move outside the customs, except that there were no women. The rest can refer to the old practice of immigrants, and the upper limit of land division can be raised to 100 mu per capita. Within 10 years, we will strive to emigrate 50 million to 10 million people outside the border.
Fourth. Wang Feng authorized Hong Xuanjiao to expand the strength of the army by five to ten armies according to the bearing capacity of the national economy, and authorized Hu Yihuang to immediately move his army into Sichuan once the one-year period expired and Sichuan had not surrendered, with Li Xiucheng's troops fully cooperating.
Fifth, Wang Feng asked Li Hongzhang to go to Beijing, and he needed Li Hongzhang to envoy to Ottoman Turkey for him.
After arranging everything, on March 28, Wang Feng and nearly 80,000 people who went to Australia gathered at the port of Tianjin, ready to go.
Along the mouth of the Haihe River, ships line up, thousands of sails gather, and countless seabirds fly around the mast, which is spectacular.
It was the first time for the people of the Jin Kingdom to see such a huge scene, and they were extremely shocked in their hearts, especially the twenty battleships, with their slender and long cannon muzzles towering towards the sky, which attracted countless eyes.
Yi Xun sighed with feeling: "Today, seeing the power of the Chinese Navy, I know that my Dajin has been defeated unjustly, even if the emperors of my Jin Kingdom are holy to Kangxi and Qianlong, it is also the benefit of not repairing boats, and Daoguang Ye was finally bullied by Yingyi and other small foreign countries, and he is harsh and deep, and he is powerless to recover. ”
"Hmm!" Lan'er nodded and said: "My Dajin country is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and if you want to communicate with the outside world, you must rely on the benefits of boats, but my Dajin has not been used to boats for a long time, and my skills are unfamiliar, so I am afraid I have to ask Commander Wang." As he spoke, he threw his beautiful eyes over.
Today's Dajin officers and soldiers, have taken off the heavy Qing Dynasty clothing, all changed to wear the standard clothing of the Democratic League, this also caused a controversy in the court, the old school to the clothing is the ancestral system can not be lightly abolished, resolutely opposed, and to Lan'er, Yixun led by the reformists insisted that the reform must start from clothing, but also listed the advantages of the Democratic Alliance and foreigners' military uniforms such as light and clean, easy to take off, and made a killer move, that is, Xianfeng had worn the generalissimo uniform during the military parade, and finally the two sides reached a compromise, change clothes can, Men don't cut their braids.
Clothing was purchased from the Chinese military, four sets of spring and autumn clothes per person, two sets of summer clothes, no winter clothes, because there is no winter on the east coast of Australia, and 20,000 sets of mini guns, 1 million grenades, 500 mortars, 300 small mountain guns, 100 122 cannon howitzers, 100 152 cannons, and 20 ammunition bases each.
Dajinguo's purchase is extremely huge, anyway, it doesn't spend cash, and it takes minerals to pay, as if it is not spending its own money.
This is naturally a small profit for the military, especially after Lan'er put forward the request to learn to build ships, Wang Feng is even more happy, he is not worried about building his own warships after the Jin Guo Society, after all, the warships at that time did not have much technical content, nothing more than the engine and hull structure, the reinstatement machine is already a technology beyond the times, China's blockade of the Jin country's technology, but will push the Jin country into the arms of Europe and the United States.
In addition, by helping the country train technical backbones and middle- and lower-level officers, it can also support a group of pro-China factions in the military of the country, and the United States has done just that.
Wang Feng also looked at Lan'er, dressed in a black standard administrative uniform of the Chinese government department, holding a horse pen, which looked refreshing and neat, and brought people a stunning feeling, which was indeed much more beautiful than the flag suit.
Wang Feng couldn't help but look at it twice, Lan'er's pretty face was slightly red, and after a few words of pity in his heart, he smiled and said: "Your country can arrange personnel to study in our military academies and naval schools, and even send people to study related to science and technology and political structure, the grievances between China and Jinjin have passed, and now we have a relationship of friendship and mutual assistance, and the Chinese government has the obligation to help Jinguo achieve modernization." ”
"Thank you, Commander Wang!" Lan'er thanked happily, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, she found that Wang Feng was much stronger than Xianfeng in every aspect, Xianfeng was sad all day long, the mantra was coffee, coffee, and he would vomit blood when he was in an emergency, and then he would be in a coma for several days! (To be continued.) )
