Such a great victory in the first stage of the war into Korea made the capital and even the whole country boil again, and the major media in the capital began to publish brilliant results in a variety of ways. And injected a rare joyful atmosphere into the thriving capital, and for a while, the fireworks workshop in the capital began to be busy again, and the firecrackers blew off. People rushed to tell each other about more secret gossip.

In a storytelling house in Beijing, a storyteller is like a river: "It is said that our national defense army is like a god general, leaping over the mountains and mountains overnight. They walked like flying, walked on a flat river, galloped thousands of miles, and suddenly appeared in the rear of the Japanese army. Yaoooo Little Japan couldn't help but cry every day, seeing that the pockets were tightened, and hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers became turtles in the urn??????。 "Good!" There was cheering from below.

"Hundreds of thousands of small Japan faced the island nation and knelt down collectively to worship Amaterasu. Amaterasu put his hands on his shoulders and said, "You are incompetent, shame me, you can fend for yourself???????。 A young soldier in the middle of the crowd shook his head with a smile, then took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, then paid for the tea and walked out of the teahouse. The young soldier's name is Yuan Shikai, the head of a certain unit of the Fujian border garrison force. He suddenly received an order from the headquarters of the Wehrmacht to rush to the capital.

Yuan Shikai arrived in Tianjin by sea and went to the capital via Tianjin. He arrived in the capital last night, and his family had already returned to his hometown in Henan, and there was no place to live in the capital, so he stayed at the military guest house in the capital. The registration date was 10 o'clock this morning, which was still early, so Yuan Shikai spent some time in the teahouse. When he came to Chess Street, he informed the guards of his identity. It will be released after verification of inspection documents.

The original Qing court's yakou hub on both sides of the chess and card street, the architectural pattern has not changed at all, but the signboard in front of the door has a new look. It became the seat of the military and political head of the Chinese Empire. With the official establishment of the Chinese Empire, Tiananmen Square in the Forbidden City has been closed, and tourists visiting the Forbidden City are all entered through the noon gate. Yuan Shikai looked at the Forbidden City from afar and wondered: What are Cixi, Guangxu, and the Six Princes doing?

Let's pan our camera to the Forbidden City. At this time, Cixi's room was dimly lit and smoky, and seemed to be full of mystery. She sat on the mat with her eyes closed, one hand knocking on the wooden fish, her lips squirming slightly. Awarded the Buddha to the Empress Dowager Cixi. Spend a lot of time every day as a sign of piety. She seemed to be isolated from the world, and gradually her heart stopped. No longer cares about anything in the mortal world.

At this moment, the scene in the Qianqing Palace was different, the sixth prince was reading a newspaper in the style of the head of the Forbidden City, he was wearing civilized clothes and cut off his braids. He looks much younger. Read the wonderful. The princes and ministers below couldn't help but applaud. "The Wehrmacht is too brave, and it is really beyond the strength of little Japan to dare to challenge my powerful empire!" Guangxu clapped his hands and applauded, showing the innocence of the teenager.

Invisibly, the thinking of these satisfied princes and ministers changed, and they gradually regarded themselves as a part of the Chinese Empire, and the honor and disgrace of the empire also affected their nerves. Deng Zixuan demanded that the Forbidden City order all the newspapers published in the capital, so that they must understand the political, military, and economic conditions of the Chinese Empire. The newspaper must be read for one hour before the performance every day. It's now the norm, and now what's in the newspapers. Fascinate these princes and ministers.

The sixth prince closed the newspaper and said: "The Wehrmacht is extremely powerful, and it is really gratifying and exciting to destroy hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. Today's performance in the DPRK should use this as the theme to preach the national prestige, and everyone should think about it. After continuous rehearsals, their performances kept pace with the times, constantly new, and added a lot of current affairs and humorous elements, attracting visitors from all over the world.

At present, when visiting the Forbidden City, the performance of the last dynasty has become a must-see program, and it has become a golden signboard. Nowadays, even the wealthy people from the outlying provinces have traveled long distances to the capital to see it. The programs performed by the Forbidden City have become famous. Tickets are still hard to come by, and the crowds are surging. In this regard, the Forbidden City management agency of the national government decided to raise the ticket price to one silver dollar, two dimes to the Forbidden City, and 8 dimes to the state treasury.

Earnings have doubled, and life has been better. Therefore, the six princes are more conscientious in managing the Forbidden City, and the six princes are currently co-opted as members of the Ethnic Affairs Committee. With his official title, his prestige increased day by day among the Manchu people, and played a role in the stability of the Manchu class. Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong, including officials from all walks of life with prominent status, all bowed down to Deng Zixuan's chess master. Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh, and cooking a delicious taste is crucial.

In the presidential palace, Deng Zixuan said to Chen Jintang and Pei Gejin: "The brilliant results achieved in the first stage of the operation into Korea have laid the direction of the Korean war, and there is no problem in taking the Korean Peninsula before the end of the year." "President, according to the information provided by the CIA, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces has been replaced, and his name is Han Ruowei, an Englishman. His information is not detailed, but the Intelligence Headquarters analyzed that the measures taken by this person after taking office were very pragmatic, which shows that this person is not an easy role to deal with. In the next step, we cannot predict whether the coalition forces will increase their troops on the peninsula. ”

Deng Zixuan said decisively: "After the first phase of the operation into North Korea, the northern part of the peninsula has fallen into our hands. South of the Han River is basically hilly and flat, and there is no danger to defend. The increase in the number of troops of the coalition forces is undoubtedly a tactic of filling oil and a taboo for soldiers. Han Ruowei, as a pragmatic soldier, will not fail to see this. In fact, the headquarters of the coalition forces was not optimistic about the defense of the Korean Peninsula from the beginning, otherwise it would have increased its troops long ago. As for letting the Japanese army stick to the Korean Peninsula, it was to take care of the feelings of the Japanese. The real purpose of the coalition is to hold on to the first island chain, Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines. ”

At this time, the secretary came in and said, "President! The guests have arrived! "Let him wait a moment." Chen Jintang and Pei Gejin met, knowing that the president was going to talk to the guests alone and took their leave.

After a while, Yuan Shikai walked in with some apprehension, obviously looking flustered. "Report to the president, Yuan Shikai, the head of a certain regiment of the border troops, was ordered to report for duty." Deng Zixuan looked at Yuan Shikai and secretly thought: The person in front of him is not tall and stout, and he can't see anything peculiar. People should not be disguised, and the person in front of him will be a powerful figure in the future life. It is gold that will always shine, and in line with the principle that quantity is applicable, he must be provided with a platform to display his talents.

In later generations, Yuan Shikai can emerge. It shows that he is by no means a mediocre person, and it is clear that he has something extraordinary. Now that the Chinese Empire has been established, I believe that his view of shijie will also change. Although Yuan Shikai was criticized by the literati of history, he was incomplete. But if he didn't have the ambition to take the world as his own responsibility, he would never have achieved great things. After all, history has its limitations.

Seeing that the president didn't say a word, Yuan Shikai panicked even more in his heart, and his legs couldn't help but tremble. "You may be seated!" "Don't dare!" "Sit down!" Deng Zixuan used a commanding tone. Yuan Shikai's buttocks were only half of the chair, and his body was stiff and stiff. "Ambition?" Deng Zixuan suddenly asked. Yuan Shikai immediately stood up when he heard this, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead and said, "I have no ambition in my humble position. Humble allegiance to the president, humble allegiance to the Chinese Empire to the death! ”

Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Nonsense, how can a person without ambition take on such a big responsibility." If I had no ambition. I can overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, and if I don't have ambitions, I can become president. A person without ambition can only eat and wait for death. I like ambitious people, but I don't like people who have different intentions. Yuan Shikai Bingxue was smart and immediately said: "There is no second heart for lowly duties, and lowly positions have been determined since childhood." Take the world as your own responsibility and achieve a career. This is where the ambition of lowliness lies. ”

Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "My strength lies in the ability to control people and know people, as the saying goes: Maxima can be seen everywhere, but Bole is rare." My current role is to act as Bole, and it is my duty to elect Maxima. Speaking of this, Yuan Shikai was ecstatic in his heart. Deng Zixuan's face became serious and said, "From today onwards, you take off your military uniform and officially serve as the governor of North Korea. Yuan Shikai was stunned for a few seconds and immediately said: "President, the lowly position is shallow and it is difficult to convince the public." I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on this big responsibility. ”

Deng Zixuan ignored Yuan Shikai's modesty and continued: "The situation of the Korean war has become clear, and there is no problem in occupying the Korean Peninsula before the end of the year. The military is a continuation of politics. The next step in managing the Korean Peninsula is a top priority. As the saying goes: Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and how to make the Korean Peninsula, which is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, submit is an issue that has a bearing on the long-term peace and stability of the peninsula, and this is a century-old plan. "We will never fail to live up to the trust of the president and resolutely fulfill our important mission!" Yuan Shikai took advantage of the situation to enter the role.

Tang Zixuan continued: "For the sake of long-term consideration, we must include the peninsula in the Chinese cultural circle, and in order to express our sincerity, we must be friendly. I know you already have a family, but for the good of the empire you have to marry a woman from the Korean royal family and really fit in, so you have to take care of the housework. "Rest assured, President, there is no problem!" Yuan Shikai was ecstatic in his heart.

Deng Zixuan continued: "Give you a month to familiarize yourself with the history of North Korea, customs and customs, and the governance of the peninsula requires a policy of gentleness. I will equip you with a group of officials, and you have full autonomy. Whether you are qualified to be the governor of North Korea needs to be tested by the stability of North Korea. Yuan Shikai hurriedly confessed again. Then Deng Zixuan roughly explained the situation on the Korean Peninsula and roughly described the blueprint for managing the Korean Peninsula.

Zuihou Deng Zixuan asked: "The Forbidden City is currently open, you can go and have a look, or you can have a discussion with the Six Princes." "President, the lowly office has made a clear line with the Manchu desires, and I will never contact them again." Deng Zixuan smiled: "You may not know that the Sixth Prince has been reborn. He is not only the governor of the Forbidden City, but also a member of the National Ethnic Affairs Committee, and he has become our comrade. The tradition of Chinese culture is to be tolerant, tolerant, selfless and wide-minded. ”

Yuan Shikai didn't know how to get out of the presidential palace, and he seemed to be a little foggy. He pinched his thigh hard, realizing that the pain wasn't a dream. The great joy of this moment made it difficult for him to control himself. Outside, there is an alley nearby. Immediately turned into the alley, saw that no one outside the four corners knelt on the ground, put his hands together and said: "The sky is above, the ancestors and ancestors are above, I Yuan Shikai in this life and this life, I am the president of the people, and the death is the president's ghost. ”

In the afternoon, Yuan Shikai reported to the Government Council and received the letter of appointment. Zhang Zhidong and Li Hongzhang met him. The two of them obviously did not like him, and the implication was that this was the president's decision. The cynicism of the two made Yuan Shikai more determined to make some achievements. Zhang Zhidong told him that the assigned officials would take a few days and asked him to wait patiently. The next day, Yuan Shikai was in the library of the national government, reviewing materials and books on the history of the Korean Peninsula. After lunch, Yuan Shikai remembered the president's words and decided to go to the Forbidden City.

In the Forbidden City, the sixth prince was reading a newspaper in his residence, when a eunuch came in to report that a guest had come to visit. The guest did not give his name, saying that he would know when he met. The sixth prince was a little confused, few guests came to visit him, and he was a mysterious guest. When Yuan Shikai appeared in front of him in civilized clothes, the sixth prince was taken aback, and it took a long time to come to his senses and say, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

Yuan Shikai smiled and asked, "Do you want me to be a human or a ghost?" "I thought you were already ???????。" "You think I've already become a ghost under the knife, but I'm alive and well. Truth be told, I have just been appointed Governor of Korea, but I have come to visit you in my personal capacity. "Governor of North Korea, aren't you afraid of being implicated in meeting with me secretly?" "Sixth Prince, I didn't want to meet you in this life, but the president asked me to come!"

The sixth prince sighed and said, "The past is unbearable, and that page has been turned over." Fortunately, you and I are still alive, and the things of the previous dynasty have disappeared. "Yes! When I became the governor of North Korea, I seemed to be in a dream, and the president used me so much, as if I had been reborn. The president introduced your situation, and I would like to say something from my heart about it, and I will not vomit or be unhappy. ”

The sixth prince personally flew to Yuan Shikai and painted tea and sighed: "Yes! When it comes to rebirth, I feel even stronger, and it can be said that there is no one before or since. I am convinced by the noble character and great heart of the president. Now that the empire is thriving, it is my duty to do my part to comfort my soul. Soon the two speculated, and Yuan Shikai had dinner in the Forbidden City, and the conversation lasted until late at night. (To be continued......)
