As soon as the knight who delivered the military report arrived at the headquarters, he jumped off the tired and foaming warhorse, and then trotted directly to advance.

In a short time, he stood in front of a major officer and took out a small bag in his personal hand from his arms!

Then the major turned around and went into the room, and then put the small bag on the table, first uncovered the outer cloth, and then revealed the tung oil waterproof wrapping paper inside, he first checked the wrapping paper for any signs of tearing, and only after seeing that everything was in good condition did he open the oil paper to reveal an envelope inside.

The envelope is sealed with ink, and there should be a small seal on the seal, and the printed book is 'Ziyu', which is the word Shi Qingxuan's words changed in recent years, and on the letter, Shi Qingxuan uses the private seal of the word 'Ziyu' as an identity seal.

Therefore, as soon as he looked at the word Ziyu on the ink, the major immediately knew that this was a handwritten letter from Shi Qingxuan, the commander of the First Army and the commander-in-chief of the Northern Jiangsu Army, and outside the envelope, there were several words, the most dazzling of which was naturally the word 'Jie'.

This must have been a good news sent back from northern Jiangsu, and immediately he didn't dare to slack off, let alone open the package in person, but quickly entered the office of Shi Langyi, the chief of the Joint Staff!

"Commander-in-chief, General Su Beishi's good news!"

Shi Langyi, who was immersed in copywriting, immediately raised his head when he heard this: "Oh, he Shi Qingxuan has won the battle again, this will always fool people with the trivial matter of destroying the enemy and defeating thousands of people!" ”

After the major entered, he sent Shi Qingxuan's letter, and at the same time said: "This is a good news sent back with six hundred miles of urgency, it shouldn't be a small victory!" ”

Shi Langyi ignored him, and after taking the letter, he picked up a paper cutter. I picked up the envelope and took out a few pages of stationery to read.

But it wasn't much at first. But looking at him, his face changed drastically, from the previous calm to ecstasy. While watching, he muttered: "What a Shi Qingxuan, he wiped out the enemies of Suqian in one battle, killed more than 8,000 enemies, and captured 10,000 enemies!" ”

Shi Langyi, who was ecstatic, immediately stood up, and then said, "Call Section Chief Chen of the Operations Division, and I will immediately attack the Face Saint!" ”

Taoyuan is a great victory, such a big victory Shi Langyi naturally has to hurry up and attack to report to Lin Zhe!

Soon, Shi Langyi took several people from the Joint Staff into the palace to meet Lin Zhe.

Since there was no prior appointment, Lin Zhe was still meeting with several people from the Cabinet Education Department at this time. Listening to their report on the recent education development affairs, but since it was good news from the army, Lin Zhe didn't care about the Ministry of Education, so he directly brought Shi Langyi and the others in.

Shi Langyi, who was full of joy, said loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Your Majesty, the victory of northern Jiangsu!" ”

Jiang Daoquan, the minister of education on the side, saw these people in military uniforms coming in on their own, and they shouted loudly before they had even saluted the emperor, and there were no rules. However, when he heard that it was good news, he did not show any dissatisfaction on his face, but in his heart, he felt that these military generals were extremely rude.

However, although the people in the military prevented him from reporting the education affairs to the emperor. But he also knew that it was now a priority for military intelligence, so he also had to go out with a few other people from the Ministry of Education first.

Lin Zhe was not wearing a military uniform at this time, but a Chinese civilian dress, which was said to be civilian clothes. But this Chinese casual dress still has a strong royal atmosphere, this Chinese dress uses gold buttons, and the cuffs have gold embroidered dragons. The pattern of this golden dragon is enough to reflect Lin Zhe's different identity today, he is the emperor of the Chinese Empire.

After he heard Shi Langyi's words. He didn't speak in a hurry, but nodded slightly. Immediately, the secretary of the secretariat next to him walked down with a silver plate in his hand.

Only then did Shi Langyi respectfully put Shi Qingxuan's good news on a silver plate, and then the accompanying secretary returned to Lin Zhe with the good news on a silver plate.

Lin Zhe picked up the good news and then read it carefully.

I saw that his expression slowly became soothed as he flipped through the letters, and after a while, he put down the letters, with a faint smile on his face: "Well, this time the First Army did a good job, and Shi Qingxuan did not live up to the rank of lieutenant general that I rewarded him!" ”

Although Lin Zhe's heart was already ecstatic at this moment, on the surface, he was only smiling slightly, but he couldn't lose his temper like Shi Langyi.

If it was a few years ago, I'm afraid he would have laughed out loud on the spot, and then all kinds of rewards came out casually, but after years of tempering by the superiors, the current Lin Zhe is completely different from Lin Zhe in previous years, especially this year after ascending the throne as the emperor, his whole person has changed very much.

In addition to showing the joy and sorrow of normal people in the harem, when he meets his subordinates, he often has a calm face, and he can't see any joy and anger.

As a superior, if you can't manage your expression and mood well, it will be difficult to have an absolute advantage in the face of your subordinates.

And today, in the face of the joy of Taoyuan County's victory, he just smiled slightly, but in fact, he put down the good news in his hand and let the entourage secretary next to him take it.

Then he said: "Now that the situation in northern Jiangsu is still quite clear, what does your staff think about the follow-up operation?" ”

Before coming, Shi Langyi expected that Lin Zhe would raise some doubts about the battle in the direction of northern Jiangsu, after all, the victory in Taoyuan County did not mean that tens of thousands of enemy troops were killed and wounded, and it would definitely affect the strategy of the Chinese army in the future, and appropriate adjustments must be made in time to make better use of the advantages of the victory in Taoyuan County.

That's why Shi Langyi brought the Operations Department and the Strategy Department and others, and they had a simple discussion on the way here, at this time Shi Langyi said: "Your Majesty, now Taoyuan has won a great victory, and General Shi's good news also said that he will lead the army to continue to go north to Suqian, and he has great confidence in taking Suqian in a short time."

Based on this, the judgment of our General Staff on the follow-up war in northern Jiangsu is to continue to let the First Army and the Fifth Army carry out annihilating strikes against the remnants of the enemy entrenched in Taoyuan and Huai'an, and once the above two places are conquered, the First Army and the Fifth Army will continue to move north to eliminate the remnants of the enemy in Muyang, Pizhou, Xuzhou, and other places.

After the Qing army suffered a crushing defeat in northern Jiangsu, it was difficult to gather a large army to block our northward movement in a short period of time, so the opinion of our staff was that in the next three months, before the Qing army could recover from the north, Chen troops would be stationed in Shandong. In addition, it is appropriate to divide troops into the northern Anhui region, and then enter the hinterland of the Central Plains of Henan, and the first army and the fifth army go hand in hand, going straight to Zhili! ”

After hearing this, Lin Zhe did not directly comment on anything, but said: "Oh, if you continue to go north, can the staff take into account how to fight under the winter and the wind and snow in the north?" I remember that the winter clothes of the troops have not yet been distributed, and if the winter clothes are insufficient, will the soldiers be able to adapt to the cold weather in the north and continue to fight? ”

"Also, the troops continue to move north, and the supply line is further stretched, how to solve the supply problem when the time comes?"

"If we continue to maintain priority support for the northern troops, will we be able to continue to ensure the smooth operation of our army in southern Anhui and Fujian?"

Lin Zhe did not directly evaluate, but raised one question after another, and he also knew that a large group of people on the staff side were considering these issues, but he still felt the need to remind the people in the staff not to be confused by the big victory, and not to be like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then, with eyes on Beijing, bent on the Northern Expedition, regardless of other directions.

Being asked by Lin Zhe about these questions one by one, Shi Langyi subconsciously wanted to say the many countermeasures he had prepared, but before he opened his mouth, Shi Langyi was sensitive to Lin Zhe's words at this time, maybe he didn't really want to ask these questions, but wanted to keep himself aware of these questions.

Immediately, it was temporary: "What the emperor instructed is that Wei Chen is a little careless, Rong Chen will discuss one or two with the rest of his colleagues in the command first, and then present a detailed strategy later!" ”

Lin Zhe nodded: "Well, then I'll wait for Aiqing's charter!" ”

After Shi Langyi left, Lin Zhe cleaned up his mood, and then summoned Jiang Daoquan and others from the Ministry of Education again, although Shi Qingxuan fought a big victory in northern Jiangsu, but Lin Zhe knew that it was enough, and now he still has a lot of things!

After Jiang Daoquan came in, he first congratulated the victory of Northern Jiangsu, but Jiang Daoquan is a typical traditional literati, and he has never had a good impression of military generals, not to mention that the current Chinese Empire is based on the theme of the army, and the status of military generals is very transcendent, so that the current Chinese Empire is heavy on military and light on literature, and this kind of thing is not a good thing for Jiang Daoquan.

So he only congratulated slightly, that is, he brought the conversation back to education affairs, for Jiang Daoquan, the military victory is only a temporary victory, if you want to be a country and the people, the first priority to establish a thousand years of foundation must be education affairs.

How to say it, the ass determines the head, as the Minister of Education, Jiang Daoquan, how did this political achievement come about? Naturally, it's education!

After the curtain came down on the previous Dengji Enke, the Ministry of Education is putting all its energy on new education!

"Nowadays, there is an extreme shortage of teachers in primary and secondary schools in various prefectures and counties, not to mention other places, even in Suzhou and Songjiang, there are not many qualified teachers in middle schools, and teachers in the three high schools in Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou are also in great shortage!"

"In order to ensure that the schools in the prefectures and counties have sufficient teachers, colleagues in the Ministry of Education believe that in addition to the existing primary schools, middle schools, higher schools, and universities, a number of normal schools should be set up specifically for the training of teachers!"

When Lin Zhe heard this, he immediately said, "Run a teacher? So where did this teacher come from? ”

Jiang Daoquan said: "The lack of teachers can directly hire foreigners, if you can, Weichen dares to ask the emperor to transfer a number of qualified teachers from the Navy and Army Officer School to serve as teachers!" (To be continued......)
