"Five hundred and twenty-two people have completely arrived in Taiwan. Familiarization, survival and combat training of rainforest terrain have begun. It is expected to be completed within three months. ”

Yingtai. The attendant was reporting to Liu Xian about the telegram taken from Taiwan. Cao Huailiang, who stayed in Taiwan, was confident that he would complete the training of prisoners of war within three months. After all, the Qin army has accumulated a long period of experience in rainforest operations and training in Taiwan, Hainan and Beiqi, and Cao Huailiang has no reason not to be confident in three months by drawing a scoop from the gourd.

"What is the approximate time point of the General Staff's plan of action against Siam?"

"In the first half of the year. Within half a year of next year, pressure will be imposed on Siam. ”

"Half a year? It's too long. Liu Xian pointed his finger at the attendant and said, "In April, I only gave them four months. I will see the results then. "The whole program has a staff in charge. Liu Xian just made a mention. And whether the General Staff can be upgraded to the General Staff as they wish depends on what kind of big volume they can make. And Siam is just the first test!

The imperial dynasty has been established, the system is gradually improving, and the matter of only 500 people no longer needs Liu Xian to supervise it personally. Besides, he has a lot going on right now. Not to mention the situation in the northwest, the suppression of bandits in Sichuan and the formation of troops in Tibet are all major matters.

If Sichuan is completely pacified, the entire southwest will be completely under Great Qin, except for one part of Yunnan. The tentacles of the Qin army can also bypass the northwest and directly communicate Qinghai and Xinjiang. Meaning heavy dà!

Moreover, Sichuan is a logistics base for entering Tibet, and Sichuan is not calm because of the current situation. There is no way to talk about entering Tibet.

Because of the increasing corruption of the Manchu government in recent years, the ministers stationed in Tibet are old and mediocre. Or to put it "hard to get confused", the Manchus no longer had the absolute right in Tibet in their heyday. The struggle for power and profit among the Tibetan serf owners gradually intensified. Several Dalai Lamas have fallen victim to the great serf owners in Tibet's struggle for power and profit.

The Ninth Dalai Lama, known as Londo Gyatso, lived only eleven years old.

The 10th Dalai Lama, known as Chuchen Gyatso, lived only 22 years old.

The 11th Dalai Lama, known as Kaizhu Gyatso, lived only 18 years old.

The 12th Dalai Lama, known as Gyatso, lived only 20 years.

The 13th Dalai Lama's name is Thubten Gyatso, and he is just three years old.

Another political and religious leader in Tibet, the 8th Panchen Lama Dan Bai Wangxiu, has not been in very good health since he received the bhikshu ordination. It is impossible to travel far. At present, Tibet still has not officially surrendered to the command of Daqin. The British are exerting their strength, but the big serf owners in Tibet at the moment. They are also resistant to the British.

Liu Xian is not worried that the situation in Tibet will change greatly in a short period of time. But he feared that Britain would take advantage of the opportunity to swallow up the two small countries of Sikkim and Bhutan. In Sikkim, most of the local residents believe in Lamaism, and Tibet is their suzerain, which is of course a vassal state of China. Bhutan, which once received the title of "Erdeni Diba" canonized by the Manchu government, is of course also a subject country of China. In the sixties, Britain had already signed unequal treaties with Sikkim and Bhutan, and even placed Sikkim under British control. However, after all, the two countries still have some autonomy. It's not a complete colony, it's only a semi-colony.

Liu Xian was not intolerant of these two small countries being swallowed up by the British. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he is willing to give up these two small countries. In the future, these two small countries and Gurkha [Nepal] will be a very good card in Liu Xian's hand.

The troops entering Tibet were tentatively set at 3,000 people, led by Liu Mingchuan.

Except for this big event. The military intelligence department is about to be decomposed, and it is also a priority that Liu Xian must keep an eye on at all times.

The entire MI needs to be split into two major agencies, one is the National Security Service. One is the Directorate of Military Intelligence, and one is internal. One externally. In addition, the local intelligence stations have correspondingly reduced a number of personnel and deployed them to local government agencies and police stations.

Plus on industrial construction. as well as Chengjun Public School, as well as the big exam papers to be opened in the coming year......

So many things were pressed on Liu Xian's shoulders, and the trivial matter of 500 prisoners of war was lost to the officially established General Staff.

Time soon turned to the end of the year, Daqin Sanxi approached, and at the end of the month, three consecutive good news came to Beijing one after another.

First of all, Xi'an was captured, and the Xi'an general Ronglu and the Shaanxi governor Yulu were all annihilated! Immediately, the Guanzhong Plain was decided.

Erxi, Tao Maolin, Cao Kezhong and others surrendered, and Gansu was pacified.

Sanxi, the Northern Jin War was won, Duolonga lost the lives of tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers, and fled to Suiyuan with less than 10,000 remnants of the defeated generals. Shanxi is decided!

Such a moment of celebration, this year's New Year must be a big one!

With a wave of his hand, he allocated one million silver dollars from his own internal money, which was used to decorate the entire city of Beijing, and then used it to pay for public performances during the New Year Festival of many opera troupes.

In this era when there is no TV or movies, watching big dramas is a common hobby in China at present, from the princes and nobles to the ordinary people.

Cixi likes to watch plays. The Shufangzhai in the Forbidden City is a special stage in the palace. In previous years, during the New Year's holidays in the palace, the opera troupe would also be allowed to perform in the palace.

Liu Xian doesn't like to watch dramas. But in line with the mainstream of the times, during the New Year's Festival, I also ordered several of the most famous opera troupes in Beijing to take a trip to ZN Sea.

The whole New Year's Festival, from the perspective of the old Chinese tradition, is very, very prosperous. In the blink of an eye, Sijiu City seemed to have returned to its heyday.

Although there is less convoy to pay tribute, there is also less people and horses to send filial piety. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Liu Xian named and boycotted the tribute, and the palace would send people to the place to buy it according to the price. To the locality, to the magistrate, there is a big trouble left.

"Football! How about a football league and a few football teams? ”

During the Beijing New Year, which countless officials and people were satisfied with, Liu Xian also smelled a strong New Year's flavor, but he always felt that there were fewer activities. I don't know if it's just a New Year, but I can see it after the New Year. There are too few entertainment activities for the Chinese people on weekdays.

Except for a temple fair and a play, there is nothing.

Liu Xian prepared to instruct the Ministry of Culture and Education to organize art troupes in various places after the New Year, arrange plays, and perform two public performances from time to time. Entertain the masses. In addition to this, he is definitely engaged in football, and he can also bring about civil activities. Find a sustainable fun for the people to maintain!

And Chinese football is also a scar in Liu Xian's heart. When it comes to it, it is full of powerlessness. Historically, Keju, the earlier prototype of football, has been active in China for more than a year. Even in the Song Dynasty, there were already prototypes of football clubs.

One Mongol Yuan, one Manchu Qing, how many good things in China were ruined.

In addition...... Liu Xian tugged at his chin, and "polo, horse racing, martial arts, shooting, ......" can all be vigorously promoted. It not only promotes the development of private activities, but also improves physical fitness.

"The state can set up a general bureau for sports development, and each province and local bureau can set up sub-bureaus, and then hold the national games......"

It doesn't cost much anyway. The biggest investment is in the construction of the venue. But if such a venue is well planned, it can also drive the development of the city.

The Lantern Festival has passed, and the atmosphere in Beijing has suddenly become solemn and solemn. This is the first time that Daqin has taken the test in which four thousand people have participated.

The science field, which had been closed for three years, was renovated by the Ministry of Culture and Education as early as a few years ago. Just wait for the exam to start on the 25th day of the first month.

Similarly, after the Lantern Festival, people from all over the country went to the Ministry of Culture and Education to fill in the report by virtue of their identity, which subject are you going to take, and then wait for the twenty-fifth to go to the examination room.

Seats were also distributed at that time!

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty paid great attention to this subject. Liu Xian set the number of three hundred. But in fact, he himself didn't think much of this science and technology. Whether he can go to a high position or not, Liu Xian can't say in the future, but as long as he himself is in power for one day, then he will be promoted to the center by real materials, and by absolute political achievements.

The marking system for the HKCEE is a 100-point system. After the examination, the temple examination is an article on the high and low.

Liu Xian only set the final essay question for the examination, and this essay question is still in the same vein as the questions in the palace examination, one is to ask how to get along with foreign countries, and the other is to ask how China is positioned in today's world. The question is accompanied by a map of the world, which clearly indicates the location of each country.

As a result, the answer sheet handed over to Liu Xian was not satisfactory to him. Although many candidates define China as the leader of the Eastern countries, no one dares to say that China will compete with the West, and no one touches on the issue of 'colonization' in their discourse.

And the so-called leaders of the Eastern countries are also traditional Chinese-style suzerain-vassal relations. It is completely different from the boss and little brother that Liu Xian planned. The interests are not large, the responsibilities are heavy, and all China can get is a false name.

Fan Debang and Zhang Shouyan both understand Liu Xian's thoughts. As the first and second assistants of the cabinet, the two of them also agreed with Liu Xian's thoughts in their hearts, and naturally they were not very satisfied with the examination papers. Those who are really satisfied with the candidates' arguments are the ministers left over from the former Qing Dynasty. For example, Li Hongzhang, Dong Sui, Shen Guifen, etc......

In the minds of these people, it is already commendable to guard China, guarantee their sovereignty and territory, and not be bullied by foreigners. If you can take care of the surrounding feudal states, the power of the Celestial Empire will not fall. It's satisfying to be able to do that.

"These few will be picked up in the secretary's room, and the rest will be distributed to the officials. Whether to belong to the local government or stay in the central center, the officials have a decision. "Liu Xian finally selected five people from the three hundred and thirty Jinshi to be included in the secretary's office, and they were under the leadership of the attendant's room, which meant the meaning.

"After the year, the northeast was set up as a province and Kaifu County, and Lanfang was officially classified as a province, as well as the northwest land, and officials needed a lot. The resettlement of the people after the relocation is all maintained by the local government. Don't be careless. If there are people who are willing to be officials such as Northeast and Lanfang, they can be promoted as appropriate. All provincial, local, central and central ministries will be promoted and appointed if they are willing. (To be continued......)
