Chapter 294: Integrating the Whole Country

A man who couldn't see his face hidden in the shadows replied: "Director, most of the people of the Cheng family have been intercepted by us, and only a few people have escaped, but most of the people who escaped are relatives, or distant relatives of Cheng Yuhuan, and none of the key people have escaped the net." ”

Zhao Quan drank all the wine in the cup fiercely, with a fierce light in his eyes: "I don't want them to see the sun tomorrow morning, and I don't want to leak their news, you can do it yourself." ”

The man in the dark shadow hesitated a little and said, "But such a big matter, shouldn't you inform the lord?" ”

Zhao Quan said in a low voice: "If you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again." There are some things that we have to share the worries of the lord as our subordinates, do you know the way? ”

The man immediately replied, "Yes, I know that they will not see the sun tomorrow, and no one will find them again." ”

With that, the man retreated into the dark shadow again, and soon disappeared. Zhao Quan poured himself another glass of wine, poured a sip and muttered to himself: "Sometimes, when we do intelligence, we must have the consciousness of carrying the black pot to the lord, not to mention that this Cheng Yuhuan and I still have enmity." ”

The disappearance of the Cheng family made the entire Cheng family appear leaderless within the scope of their power, and seeing this situation, the Iron Blood Army and the Xia family made a decisive move, and quickly carved up the remaining territory of the original Cheng family. After carving up the territory of the Cheng family, the two sides tacitly stopped the military operation. A few days later, Xia Yuhui informed the Chinese Leader that he would go to the Chinese Leader to meet Fang Xiaoyu in person.

This is Fang Xiaoyu's old father-in-law, no one dares to slack off, after getting the news that Xia Yuhui is coming to Zhonghualing, Fang Xiaoyu was waiting at the train station early. Striding off the train, Xia Yuhui found that Fang Xiaoyu was looking over there on the platform.

"Why are you here in person?" Xia Yuhui didn't mean to be hostile at all, he smiled and walked over to greet Fang Xiaoyu cordially.

Fang Xiaoyu was very respectful: "My father-in-law arrived, and my son-in-law naturally had to greet him in person, originally Wei'er and Yun'er were also coming, but now the weather is already very cold, I didn't let them come because I was afraid that they would catch a cold, and now they are preparing wine and food in the house." ”

Xia Yuhui didn't rush to Fang Xiaoyu's mansion, but asked very unexpectedly, "Can I go to your military camp to have a look." After seeing the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Iron Army, Xia Yuhui really wanted to see if Fang Xiaoyu's troops were so sophisticated.

Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Of course you can." Then he asked several staff officers around him: "Where is the nearest garrison here?" ”

A staff officer saluted: "Report to your lordship, the nearest is the 105th Division of the 13th Army of the Defense Army stationed in the Chongshan military camp outside the city. ”

After listening to the staff officer's report, Fang Xiaoyu turned to Xia Yuhui: "Father-in-law, look at ......"

Xia Yuhui nodded: "Just go there." Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's casual inquiry, Xia Yuhui believed that this unit would never be a show, so he happily decided to go.

Fang Xiaoyu and his entourage drove to the barracks, and when they were fifty meters away from the barracks, the convoy stopped, and a staff officer got out of the car, ran to the gate of the barracks, and showed his ID to the sentry.

"Why, do you need to be so strict when your convoy arrives?" Xia Yuhui asked with interest.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled slightly: "The rules in the army are very strict, even I can't break them." In fact, the entire Chinese Territory has strict rules, and I also have to follow various rules, and I can't have any privileges. ”

Xia Yuhui nodded appreciatively: "The strong army trained by such strict regulations is indeed invincible. ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "My father-in-law has praised it, but my son-in-law can't afford it." ”

Walking into the barracks, there were no soldiers training on the school ground, and it was already lunch time. Knowing the situation, Xia Yuhui smiled and said, "Let's go to the restaurant and have a look." Fang Xiaoyu nodded and led the way.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, an officer recognized Fang Xiaoyu, and with an order, all the soldiers and officers in this restaurant pushed away their chairs and stood up, and the neat and straight military posture did not have the slightest noise, which made Xia Yuhui nod again and again.

Fang Xiaoyu waved his hand and said, "Everyone doesn't have to salute, let's sit down and eat." Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, with the officer's order, the soldiers sat down neatly and continued to eat, there was only the sound of dishes and chopsticks clinking in the restaurant, but no one exchanged their heads.

"The army is well-groomed, and there is no chaos at all at any time, and it is indeed a strong army." Xia Yuhui sighed for a while, he stepped forward to carefully observe the food of the soldiers, and found that each soldier was a big bowl of rice, a bowl of clear soup, one meat, three vegetables and four dishes, the amount of food was very sufficient, everyone could add rice, and the absolute nutrition match was reasonable and sufficient.

Xia Yuhui nodded and said, "Such a good meal is better than the food of our officers there." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Our officers and soldiers here eat, live and train together, and never engage in specialization, so the officers and soldiers in the army are of the same heart, and they are naturally like arms and fingers in battle." ”

Xia Yuhui nodded and said, "Okay, okay, you can see the whole leopard at a glance, and you don't need to look at the rest, let's go back." ”

Seeing that Xia Yuhui was about to leave without waiting to see the subsequent army training, Fang Xiaoyu felt very strange, but he didn't ask, anyway, it was already time to eat, so it was better to go back to the house to eat first.

"Husband, you're here." Walking into Fang Xiaoyu's mansion, the first person to greet him was Xia Yuhui's wife, Liu Aiping, the mother of the Xia sisters.

It turned out that after Xia Tingyun gave birth to a child, Liu Aiping did not go back, but has been helping her youngest daughter take care of the child. Seeing Xia Yuhui's arrival, Liu Aiping gave him a questioning look.

Xia Yuhui smiled and nodded to his wife, expressing her peace of mind, and then he stepped forward and said to his wife: "Yes, I came to see you, and also to see the two children and my granddaughter, maybe I will be relieved and return to the field in the future, and I can come here often." ”

Hearing Xia Yuhui's words, Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly answered: "My father-in-law is in the prime of life, and he controls most of the Lanfang Empire, it is the time to make great achievements, how can I talk about disarming and returning to the field." ”

Xia Yuhui said with a smile: "No wonder the third and fifth children praise you like that, it turns out that you are so cunning and come to visit me?" ”

was told by Xia Yuhui, Fang Xiaoyu quickly saluted with embarrassment: "How dare my son-in-law?" ”

Xia Yuhui said: "Seeing your itchy appearance, I won't tease you." The purpose of my visit is to hand over all the territory and army to you. ”

"Huh?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at Xia Yuhui in front of him in surprise, not knowing what to say.

Xia Yuhui sighed, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "Before my father died, he called me to the bed and told me for a long time, and he asked me to hand over all the Xia family's territory and army to you at a suitable time in the future. My father said that he had been wrong all his life and didn't want me to follow him wrong. He also said that we should fight for the nation, not for the sake of the family and the court. ”

Fang Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Grandpa, he has finally completely figured it out, the nation is more important than the family's court. ”

Xia Yuhui patted Fang Xiaoyu on the shoulder and said: "Originally, I was a little unconvinced after listening to my father's words, I have always felt that the Xia family's army is well-trained and is one of the strongest in the world, and after seeing your iron-blooded army, I am a little ashamed of myself." At that time, I still thought that the Iron Army was your private army, and it should be strong, so I just got out of the car and proposed to go to see the barracks, I wanted to see the quality of the ordinary soldiers in your territory. ”

Xia Yuhui said and sighed: "Seeing the well-trained appearance of the fighters, I am completely convinced. Xiao Yu, you are the best lord I have ever seen, and you will be able to become a good emperor who will lead this country to strength in the future. Do a good job in the future, I am optimistic about you, and I believe that you will be able to lead the Chinese into another glory. ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Xie Lu Xie Father-in-law's appreciation, I will definitely do it." ”

The entire Lanfang Empire has formed a situation where the two strong Chinese Collar and the Xia Family stand side by side, just when the countries of the World Realm are concerned about the situation of the Empire and speculate whether a new civil war will break out, the Xia family suddenly announced its merger into the Chinese Domain, and at the same time, the Xia family will fade out of the military and political circles and enter the industrial and commercial development.

With the addition of the Xia family, the Chinese Leader has controlled most of the territory of the Lanfang Empire, seeing that the general trend has gone, the Xiahou brothers also consciously announced that they would hand over the three counties of the East China Sea to the Chinese Territory, and the Xiahou family also decided to fade out of the military and political arena at the same time, taking industry and commerce as the direction of development.

The Chinese Empire peacefully unified the entire Lanfang Empire, and the administrative center of the Chinese Empire was changed to the capital at the unanimous initiative of most officials.

For the retreat of the Xiahou family, Fang Xiaoyu was a little surprised and a little happy, unexpectedly he didn't expect the Xiahou family to quit automatically so knowledgeable, the surprise was that after accepting more than 50,000 naval personnel of the First Fleet of the Lanfang Empire and the huge naval academy, the foundation of the naval talents and training institutions in Fang Xiaoyu's hands was much thicker, which simply gave him a kind of nouveau riche heart.

Having gained control of the entire Lanfang Empire, the Xiahou family also faded out of the political arena, all the conditions were sufficient, and with the support of many cronies and important ministers, Fang Xiaoyu began to consider ascending the throne as emperor and establishing a new dynasty.

Fang Xiaoyu, who grew up in New China, did not see it so important to the emperor, in his mind, a more democratic form of government is more conducive to the development of the country, but he also knows very well that the change of the political system is not transferred by personal will, but by history. Unable to make up his mind, Fang Xiaoyu decided to look at the trend of the people first and see if the people accepted a more democratic form of government.

Two days later, a Chinese newspaper published a commentator's article entitled "Do the Chinese Need Imperial Power?", in which it was written that the Saar Empire in the Western Continent and the St. Martin Empire in the New World were already constitutional monarchies, and the Wa Kingdom also had such a tendency.
