Chapter 221: Longing for the Emperor

(Thank you for the evaluation votes of the book friend elm!) ）

The rapid expansion of western Sichuan has also exposed a lot of problems, the army is too scattered, and there are so many places that need to be garrisoned, so that the troops invested in the front line of Shanhaiguan are very limited. The four divisions and two cavalry corps currently concentrated in Shanhaiguan are almost the largest number of troops that can be invested in western Sichuan. Reinforcements in the Shanhaiguan direction can only be carried out unless the new units are expanded to replace the old ones.

4 divisions and 2 cavalry corps, a total of only 50,000 men. Although the Japanese army attacked the Shanhaiguan direction, the strength of the division was only 50,000. At this time, the establishment of the Japanese Army's field divisions and regiments, each field division and regiment had jurisdiction over 2 infantry brigades (Guards Division regimental brigade), cavalry squadrons, artillery 6 squadrons (field artillery 4 squadrons, mountain artillery 2 squadrons, Guards divisions only had 4 field artillery squadrons), 2 engineer squadrons (Guards Division regimental squadrons), attached organs and baggage. The total number of personnel is 492 (Guards 2095), horses 56 (Guards 42), combat infantry 9600 (Guards 5760), cavalry 0, field artillery 24, mountain artillery 2 (no mountain artillery in the Guards division). It was not a huge division of more than 28,000 people per permanent division during World War II. The forces of both sides were almost equal, but the artillery of the western Sichuan army was superior, and at the same time it was on the defensive, with the help of strong fortifications. However, the Japanese army in Korea and Liaodong has a huge strength of nearly 400,000 troops, which has almost exhausted all the troops in Japan, and if the attack does not go well, the Japanese army will increase its troops again, and it will also cause great pressure on the western Sichuan army. Especially after the defeat of the Japanese Navy, the Japanese Army is likely to launch a more ferocious attack in order to recover the decline. As a result, the Western Sichuan Army had to do its best to draw troops and prepare to reinforce Shanhaiguan.

In terms of logistics and supply, there are also big problems. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty developed Westernization for several years, it was far from being able to compare with western Sichuan in road construction. This made the logistical pressure on the front-line troops very great, even if the military rations were purchased and confiscated from the official granaries of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it still put great pressure on the logistics department of the Western Sichuan Army.

Finally, there is the talent needed. With so much territory expanded at once, a large number of government workers were needed to manage it in western Sichuan. Even though Sichuan West has deliberately made reserves in the past two years, the gap is still very large. As a last resort, we had to recruit talented people from the society again, and at the same time, retain some of the Manchu officials who were of decent character, and so on.

Although there are many problems, in general, the development is accelerating for the better. After the unification of the whole country, western Sichuan will once again complete the leap and realize the transformation from a cocoon to a butterfly. When the newly occupied areas develop, China will inevitably be able to become one of the world's great powers.

It was already late at night when he returned from the Prime Minister's Office to inspect the embassy, but Wang Yuze's spirit was also quite excited. The Manchus had fallen, and after defeating Little Japan, it was time for a new regime. So, does this also mean that he will ascend to the supreme throne? In today's China, the concept of imperialism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although there are also a very small number of people who promote democracy and republic, but in the eyes of the vast majority of people, this is simply a fallacy to confuse the public. After more than 2,000 years of feudal society, the people of the country have become accustomed to having an emperor, so that they can gather the strength of the whole country to the greatest extent and develop in the direction that Wang Yuze hopes. In particular, the world war in 20 years will require China to be fully prepared, and it will be an opportunity to completely change China.

"Emperor! Perhaps, by the second half of the year, he will be able to ascend the throne! Wang Yuze sat alone in the study and muttered. is a man, and he wants to live the kind of life of "waking up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties", not to mention the propaganda of the emperor's harem of the three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines. Wang Yuze does not deny that he is full of yearning for the emperor's life. However, in order for China to develop better, he will not become the first emperor, in his lifetime, he will slowly carry out the reform of the democratic system, and when it comes to his next generation, he can implement a constitutional monarchy, so that the royal family can continue for generations.

"Squeak!" Suddenly, the door to the study was opened, and a delicate little face came in from the outside.

"Young master, it's so late? Aren't you going back to sleep? In a blink of an eye, it has been five years since Wang Yuze returned to this world, and Xiang'er, a little girl, has grown into a slim girl. With Xiang'er's maturing body, Wang Yuze couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart.

He still remembers that when he first got married, he promised this little girl that he would marry her in the future. But over the years, too many things have happened, so that he has very little time at home, and this matter has been delayed.

"Xiang'er, did Madame ask you to come to me?" Wang Yuze asked with a smile.

"Several ladies have already fallen asleep, it was Xiang'er who didn't worry about the young master, so she came to look for you!" Xiang'er said with a smile.

"Oh, I just went to the Prime Minister's Office and I'm only back now. Xiang'er, come here, talk to me! Wang Yuze said to Xiang'er.

Xiang'er didn't hesitate at all, and the lotus step moved lightly and came to Wang Yuze's side. However, Wang Yuze hugged her soft waist and hugged her to his lap.

"Ahh Xiang'er didn't expect Wang Yuze to be like this, her little face suddenly turned red, and she could almost drip blood.

"Xiang'er, I've suffered you all these years, will you be a monster?" Wang Yuze held Xiang'er's little face, breathed in the bursts of fragrance coming from her, and asked.

"Xiang'er is not bitter, as long as she can be by the young master's side, Xiang'er will be content." Xiang'er said with red eyes. Originally, she thought that Wang Yuze had forgotten the original agreement, but she didn't expect Wang Yuze to still remember. She knew that Wang Yuze was a person who did big things, and she didn't have so much time to take care of her children's private affairs. So she kept waiting.

"Little fool, the young master has been too busy these years, and now the Manchu Qing has been destroyed by us, and after defeating the Japanese, we will unify the whole country. At that time, the young master will be idle! Wang Yuze said.

"Young master, I, can I ask you a question?" Xiang'er asked with some hesitation.

"Ask, no matter what you ask, the young master will answer you!" Wang Yuze said affirmatively.

"They say that the young master defeated the Manchu Qing and will become the emperor, right?" Xiang'er raised her head and adored Wang Yuze.

"That's right, after defeating the Manchu Qing, the young master will become the emperor. However, Xiang'er will also be the young master's concubine at that time! Wang Yuze said with a smile.

"Ahh Xiang'er doesn't want to be a concubine, Xiang'er just continue to be a girl for the young master! Xiang'er said.

"Haha! When the time comes, I can't help you, when Young Master Ben becomes the emperor, what he says is the holy decree, and you dare to resist the decree? Wang Yuze said with a laugh. Looking at Xiang'er's red and gorgeous lips, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss it.

"Hmm!" Xiang'er was stunned, and there was no reaction, completely letting Wang Yuze do it.

Gradually, Wang Yuze shifted his target, from his lips to Xiang'er's delicate little face, and his smooth neck, leaving a series of red marks. His hands were not idle, and he slipped into Xiang'er's gauze skirt and stroked the skin as smooth as milk.

Xiang'er buried her head in Wang Yuze's arms motionlessly, letting him make it bad. She knew that sooner or later there would be such a day, and she had been waiting for it for years, and now, she finally got her wish.

Wang Yuze picked up Xiang'er and came to the boat in the study. In Wang Yuze's study, there is a small boat. When he is usually tired, he can just lie down on it. And now, that's where it comes in.

Wang Yuze put Xiang'er on the bed, Xiang'er's eyes were closed, and she didn't dare Wang Yuze. Wang Yuze smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to remove the clothes on Xiang'er's body, and after a while, a delicate body like mutton fat and white jade appeared in front of him. Wang Yuze's brain was hot, and he took off his clothes and pants and pounced.

The cot creaked overwhelmed, and grew louder and louder as the two people on the bed shook. and the wheezing and moaning sounds of the two people on the bed converged together, making the room full of spring.

Although he has not officially become the emperor, Wang Yuze has already begun to enjoy the tenderness of the concubine.

Unlike Wang Yuze, who is dreaming of being an emperor, Japan is in a gloomy mood. When the Combined Fleet went south to find a decisive battle for the Kawanishi Navy, all of Japan had great hopes for them. Even when news came from China that the Japanese Combined Fleet had been fully destroyed, it was regarded as a rumor by the Japanese government and the Japanese people. However, on the evening of April 29, the Japanese finally came to a clear understanding of the current situation. The combined fleet, which they regarded as invincible, really failed, and only two of the twelve powerful warships at the time of the expedition came back, and among them, there was one with the wound of Yan zhòng.

Heihachiro Togo, chief of staff of the Japanese Combined Fleet, stood on the foredeck of the "Chiyoda" and looked at the Sasebo military port that was getting closer and closer, and his heart was full of sadness. Although he left the battlefield ahead of schedule on the "Chiyoda", he didn't have to think about it to know what kind of fate the combined fleet would have when it faced the main force of the Kawanishi Navy. And he, this time, became a shameful deserter. He felt that he should be seppuku and that he should die to apologize. However, Ito's advice made him have to endure humiliation and steal his life. The Japanese Combined Fleet has certainly failed this time, but the Japanese Navy has not failed, and they still have a chance to rise again.

At eight o'clock in the evening of April 29, the "Chiyoda" and the battered "Yoshino" returned to the Sasebo military port.
