September 29, 1902, Dalian Railway Station.

It was less than ten o'clock in the morning, and it was dark because of the typhoon.

But the platform was unusually lively, the corridor separated by two rows of soldiers of the Northeast Army was crowded with top hats, military hats, peaked caps and student hats, the flash of magnesium lamps and white smoke came and went, and the large and small red ground sun and moon flags swayed with the shaking of people's hands.

A thick red carpet was laid out between the VIP waiting room and the special train to the north, and Tang Haoran, the commander of the Northeast Army, the current governor of the three eastern provinces, and of course the "chaotic minister and thief" in the eyes of the banner people, was walking on the carpet surrounded by more than a dozen young officers in military uniforms.

More than a dozen reporters who had been chartered were brought to Tang Haoran by the military police, and now, the news release of the Northeast Army has become a special feature, and Tang Haoran himself is even more adept at using reporters to build his own image, and in this regard, he is undoubtedly more modern.

A reporter wearing an armband of the "East Asia News Agency" on his left arm preemptively asked:

"May I ask Tang Shuai, I heard that you are going to the front line to award medals to the officers and soldiers on the front line, I wonder if you have anything to say to the 36 million fathers and elders in the northeast and the 40,000 compatriots in the Guannai?"

In a way, there was a strong "localist sentiment" in the journalist's words, but it seemed to be taken for granted by all.

Tang Haoran took off the beanie military hat, nodded to the reporter in front of him, and then looked around at the people present, and said loudly:

"For the 36 million fathers and elders in the Northeast, what I want to say is that without your ten years of hard work, without your ten years of hard work and sacrifice, there would be no victory of Le Maire and Post-Baikal, it is your sacrifice and efforts that have achieved today's victory, it can be said that every medal has your sweat, flesh and blood, it is your sacrifice that has achieved the future of this nation, for you, I would like to express my personal heartfelt thanks and admiration! In the same way, I also hope that all the people will take this unsung hero as an example, put the country first, put the nation first, and serve our nation with practical actions! ”

In Tang Haoran's speech, he did not mention the word country, only the nation, the reason why this is so is very simple, "I Taqing" has never been his country, and he does not need to show up for it.

His remarks immediately aroused cheers from many people, the flags in people's hands danced more fiercely, and some people even shouted "Long live Tang Shuai" and other big reverse slogans.

The reporter who was busy recording was soon squeezed down by others, and a reporter from the Beiyang Times in Tianjin rushed to the front and asked:

"Tang Shuai, how long do you think this war will last? How much do you think your trip has affected the morale of officers and soldiers on the front line? ”

Tang Haoran smiled at him, smiled at everyone present - this is etiquette, but also image, or rather, this is necessary, that's all.

"To answer your first question, in fact, I can't tell you exactly when the war will end, because it's not just our problem, it's the Russian side that matters. I have made it clear to you time and again that the purpose of this war of self-defense is not to destroy Russia or to seize Russia's inherent territory, but only to restore peace between the two countries on a fair basis, that is, to restore the traditional national border between us and Russia. As everyone knows, Russia has over the years annexed millions of square kilometers of our country's territory through deception, forcible occupation, and despicable unequal treaties, and this is a humiliation and trampling on China. …… So far, we have not seen any sincerity on the part of Russia for peace, and as long as the Russian Government continues to adhere to its aggressive policy toward China, the war will not be able to stop, and Russia will suffer even greater losses. ”

Here, Tang Haoran began to play with words, for him, the "traditional border" between the two countries in his mind is not the national border stipulated in the Nebuchu Treaty, but another "traditional border", as for where this "traditional border" is, I am afraid that it only exists in Tang Haoran's heart, as for how it is traditional, I am afraid that only Tang Haoran knows.

Speaking of this, Tang Haoran paused, secretly adjusted his expression, which was already a little stiff, and continued to face everyone amiably.

"As for the second question from Mr. Reporter, I can't answer it, you should go to the front and ask the officers and men what they think about it, I can't represent the millions of soldiers on the front, I don't think anyone is qualified to represent them."

Two more reporters squeezed up, one wearing a "Ta Kung Pao" armband on his arm, and the other with a press card on his chest clearly written "Yomiuri Shimbun".

The so-called "Yomiuri Shimbun" was actually re-established in Shanghai by its members after the Yomiuri Shimbun in Japan was banned by the Russians.

Tang Haoran subconsciously raised his hand and motioned for a reporter from Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun to ask first.

This Japanese journalist is extremely fluent in Chinese, and it is the "Nanjing official dialect" advocated by Northeast China, not the "official dialect".

"Your Excellency Marshal, what do you think of the future of Japan now that there has been a large-scale uprising throughout Japan? Now that China has defeated Russia on land and sea, will it consider sending troops to reinforce Japan in the near future? ”

"Well, on the first question, I would like to say that the resistance of the Japanese people against the colonizers has proved to the world that the East Asian nation will never accept to be enslaved by Westerners, and I am sincerely proud of their heroic battles...... Under the strong strength of our East Asian nation, the Russian aggressors will soon be expelled, and we need to pay attention to the fact that the war is not over, the Russian aggressors have not yet been completely defeated, they still have the strength to make a comeback, and we must be prepared to deal with the enemy's possible counterattack at any time. I believe that the fate of the future of the East Ocean can be resolved through friendly consultations, and I believe that the fate is in the hands of the people, and that the future of the East Asian nation is in the hands of each and every one of the 50,000 East Asian nations. ”

In answering this question, Tang Haoran was extremely cautious; he never mentioned Japan, nor did he give a direct answer to its future, but generally linked Japan's destiny with China and East Asia; in fact, he was also expressing an attitude in an extremely subtle way -- China could not accept Japan's independence.

"Your Excellency, you have not ......"

Before the reporter could finish asking, he was squeezed down, and at this time, the reporter from the "Jingshi Daily" in Wuchang had already generously blocked Tang Haoran in front of him. As soon as the reporter came up, he asked with a big grin:

"May I ask Lord Tang......"

Unlike other people who call Tang Shuai, this reporter from Beijing who operates a so-called "Beijing film" called him an "adult" as soon as he came up, and then said it without respect.

"You are the official of the court of my Great Qing Dynasty, the official of one party, and the governor of the three provinces, what do you think of the thug march in Jiangning now demanding the independence of the two rivers? Also, what do you think about the so-called rebellion of the Liangjiang independence? For many years, the Northeast has been advocating the so-called Han doctrine, intensifying the differences between the Manchus and the Hans, and the emperors and old men of the Qing Dynasty have all treated you with benevolence and love to the Chinese people, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. ”

If Tang Haoran still maintained his warm spring expression before, although he occasionally had the urge to scold his mother in his heart, but now, in the face of this reporter's question, there was only one thought left in his heart, wanting the attendant officer next to him to drag him over and clean him up fiercely, but he didn't do it, but stared at him with a cold face and asked rhetorically.

"You're a reporter from the Jingshi Daily?"

"Yes! The surname of the contemptible person is Yan Ming Chongnian"

"Is it Han or Manchu!"

"Since the contemptible people are Han people, they are also flag people! The Han Army Banner under the Contemptible Zhengbai ......"

When he said this, Yan Chongnian's chin was slightly raised, and his face was full of pride, for him, this was a time to look forward to reprimanding this rebellious minister and thief who "forgot the king's righteousness" in person, although in his heart, he didn't dare to reprimand at all, but after asking these questions, he was still proud of his actions.

"Okay, what a Han army flag under Zhengbai,......"

Tang Haoran, whose tone became more and more cold, looked at the reporters around him and said in a deep voice:

"As for the people of Liangjiang who want independence, I have said many times that Liangjiang should communicate with the people through peaceful means, after all, violence will not solve any problems...... Dialogue can solve the problem, and the facts have proved that Zhuang Shuai is undoubtedly well aware of this, and knows that the demands of the people of Liangjiang are actually the demands and aspirations of the Chinese people, and we see that in the face of the people, the military and police have never taken up arms, and the military and police of Liangjiang provide protection for the people, and the people of Liangjiang also remain calm and talk with Zhuang Shuai, and in the end, Zhuang Shuai and the people of Liangjiang will make their choice. My view on the Liangjiang incident is that the will of the people cannot be violated! ”

This is by no means perfunctory, but Tang Haoran is expressing support to the people of Liangjiang through his own words, although he was not inclined to support the change in Guannei before, but now with the two decisive victories, he has no other scruples, if the change in Guannai is beneficial to the Northeast, then support this change, now, the change in Jiangning, whether it is beneficial to the Northeast, Tang Haoran is not clear, but he sees the weak nature of the governors in Guannai in front of the awakened people, Not only can they not stop the reunification of the Northeast Army by force, but they also cannot psychologically win back the support of the local people for them.

Wait until after this war is over!

"As for the so-called love, I would like to ask you, when did the Manchu emperor treat my Han people well? Shaving my hair and making it easy to wear, ruining my Chinese clothes, writing prison, destroying my Chinese civilization, and destroying my ancient Chinese books in the four libraries, this is what you call love? As for you, you are a dignified Han man, but you recognize a thief as your father, and you are so dignified and shameless! What is your face to call yourself Han? It's up to you......"

With a cold snort, Tang Haoran shouted in a deep voice.

"Ask me questions, too!"

"Contemptible people may not admire, but what about adults? Contemptible people do not admire as Han people, that adult, as an official of my Qing Dynasty, once knelt down to my holy ancestor Empress Dowager and the emperor to call him a "courtier", so in the eyes of adults, how can adults admire being Han people! ”

It was at this moment that the temperature at the station plummeted.

And Yan Chongnian looked at Tang Haoran even more triumphantly, as if he was succeeding in arguing for himself. He was very proud, completely ignoring the angry eyes of the people around him, whether it was the attendants or reporters, all of them glared at him angrily. But he was completely unconscious, he obviously ignored one point, his question, not only did not earn face for the so-called "I Taqing", but forced all Han officials to a situation where there was no way out, and every Han official became a traitor, which is precisely what caused the Han officials to be most feared in their hearts.

If a few minutes ago, Tang Haoran still wanted to throw the grandson in front of him onto the railroad track and crush it into three, then now, his words made Tang Haoran want to praise him fiercely, and even gave him a medal, if he said that he spent ten years to transform the people of the Northeast and use a war to awaken the national soul of ordinary people, then the words of the surname Yan in front of him helped the Northeast to complete the most difficult task - to complete the mobilization of officials and scholars, to be precise, the ideological mobilization of officials and scholars in the mainlandOnly when their minds are fundamentally shaken can the Northeast unify the Guannai with the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

"For many years, Tang has been ashamed of the original way, and it is precisely because of this that Tang will be ten years of lying on his salary and trying his courage, in order to ask for the future, please tell your master that we have been silent for too long, and in the near future, we will not be silent again!"

At this moment, the knots in Tang Haoran's heart were cleared, and he was in a very comfortable mood, but he didn't notice the surprise of those reporters after saying this, how these reporters thought, it was no longer something he could control, he only knew that he should go there and move forward!

So Tang Haoran broke away from the encirclement of reporters and walked forward, his steps were extremely firm, at this time he no longer had any concerns, yes, what is there to worry about? It's time to unify!

Just when Tang Haoran stepped on the train, when the train whistled, when the door was closed, in the whistle, the special train slowly drove out of the platform, and the crowd gradually dispersed. An attendant who had been on the bus earlier took out a telegram.

"Dashuai, Shuaifu is in an emergency!" (To be continued.) )
