Episode 175 Capture Vladivostok

If Xiang Xiaoqiang wants to marry Zhu Yourong home, he still faces a thorny problem: .

Although the people of Zi'an in the whole country already know about his relationship with Zhu Yourong and accept his relationship with Zhu Yourong, it does not mean that they also know and accept his relationship with Zheng Yuxuan. To be honest, this way of "packing together" is really difficult to accept for a while. Therefore, Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhu Yourong discussed what to do about this problem.

It's definitely unrealistic to marry home together like Qiu Yu and Xiuxiu. Then there is the question of who comes first and who comes last. Originally, Xiang Xiaoqiang had promised Zheng Yuxuan that he would marry her first. But at that time, the relationship between him and Zhu Yourong was still in an "underground state", and others didn't know about it, so marrying Zheng Yuxuan first and then marrying Zhu Yourong was a very feasible "road map", which could play a role in making people gradually adapt. And the current situation is that the relationship between Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhu Yourong was first revealed to the world, and it was blessed by the mainstream public opinion. So at this time, if Xiang Xiaoqiang suddenly gets married, and the bride is not Zhu Yourong, the blow to the national feelings can be imagined. Will the people who used to follow the radio to set off fireworks for them feel that they have been tricked?

Therefore, now I have to settle for the next best thing and complete my marriage with Zhu Yourong first. After that, he gradually made public his relationship with Zheng Yuxuan and the marriage contract, and the people were emotionally more acceptable. Xiang Xiaoqiang gives people the feeling that he is at most "flowery", not a "betrayal" of His Majesty and the feelings of the people.

After the two discussed, they set this "road map". Although Zhu Yourong knew that he had to do this, he still felt very sorry for his cousin. Xiang Xiaoqiang was also very embarrassed, and he also felt that it was very difficult to explain to Zheng Yuxuan. After all, this little girl has helped herself so much for a long time, and she is obsessed with herself. is different from Qiuyun and Xiuxiu, Zheng Yuxuan is a standard "Golden Phoenix", born in the family of the emperor's relatives with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child, but for his own sake, he still broke with this family and ran away......

Zhu Yourong also saw that Xiang Xiaoqiang was very embarrassed. She proposed to let Xiang Xiaoqiang go back first, and she called her cousin over and told Xuan Xuan alone. But Xiang Xiaoqiang was unwilling, insisted on being present himself, and told Zheng Yuxuan in person.

That night, Zhu Yourong called his cousin into the palace. In front of Zhu Yourong and Zheng Yuxuan, two confidants, Xiang Xiaoqiang confessed to Zheng Yuxuan with great difficulty. Contrary to Xiang Xiaoqiang's expectations, Zheng Yuxuan didn't cry and didn't make trouble, but looked very well-behaved. She just "cut" and pouted:

"That's about the same as I estimated. I guess you're going to have to. If you don't marry my cousin first, you won't be able to explain it to the public. Alas...... Forget it, forget it, my life is miserable and good, and there is no way to do it......"

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhu Yourong glanced at each other, and they were both overjoyed. Zhu Yourong was even more apologetic, she hugged her cousin affectionately and caressed her back:

"Xuanxuan...... Cousin, thank you...... You're not going to be mad at your cousin, are you? ”

Zheng Yuxuan smiled and pouted to Xiang Xiaoqiang:

"I'm not mad at my cousin. I was angry with him. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, snorted for a long time, and said with a smile:

"Hehe, this anger is the birth. If I change me, I will give birth. Give birth, give birth. Just don't marry me. ”

……

Just when the three of them were having children, Wei Zijin hurriedly came in, walked quickly to Zhu Yourong's side, and whispered with a little joy:

"Your Majesty, Vladivostok has surrendered."

The three of them were stunned at the time, and then they were all happy, looking at each other and smiling. Especially Xiang Xiaoqiang, he was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut at once, and immediately asked for details. Wei Zijin obviously inquired and understood, and the answer was fluent.

Just this evening, the Vladivostok Command of the Soviet Army sent negotiators, saying that they would negotiate terms with the Ming army. The Ming army, of course, was overjoyed. For such a long time, leaflets were constantly thrown into Vladivostok, shouting, and propaganda leaflets, and even large curtains were erected in front of Soviet fortifications and movies were shown to Soviet officers and soldiers...... Today we finally got the results. And the conditions put forward by the representatives of the Soviet army did not make the Ming army expect. The first condition of the Soviet officers and soldiers was that after the war, the Ming army would not return them to Stalin, but let them join the White Russian Federation and live in the Far East. The Ming army agreed, and they surrendered. If they don't agree, they resist to the end until the last man.

The results can be imagined. The local Ming army generals immediately reported to the high command, and the command also agreed. So, just an hour earlier, the Soviet defenders in Vladivostok had stopped resisting, and the Ming army had marched into Vladivostok in a big way.

When a few people heard this, they were also emotional. Although the Soviet army held Vladivostok for so long, it was true that there was a force from faith, but the role of Stalin's "even practice" should not be underestimated. These Soviet soldiers knew that once they surrendered, not only would their families be finished, but even if they were sent back in the future, they would probably not be shot, but they would have to be sent to the mines to do hard labor for the rest of their lives. Therefore, they have no way back, and they are desperate when they resist, and once they can't resist anymore and decide to surrender, they must do everything and never go back.

……

On the night of March 15, the Ming army continued to march into the Far Eastern town of Vladivostok. All the fortifications, tunnels, and train guns were also controlled by the Ming army.

But what is even more worth seeing is the city of Vladivostok.

The city of Vladivostok is a ghost town to exaggerate. It was really starving, and every few steps you could see a gray-white corpse, all skinny, hard and dirty, wrapped in a black or gray coat, with ice stubble on its skin...... More of the citizens who were alive were also skinny, walking slowly on the sidewalk, and when they saw the Ming army, they only raised their faces and looked at them expressionlessly......

But those Soviet officers and soldiers who wanted the Ming army to surrender were a different story. Although they are also very thin, they are all ruddy and still look very energetic. Most of the Soviet soldiers still had black bread in their bags of dry rations, and the Ming army opened a munitions warehouse and found a large pile of canned food...... In contrast to the common people, the Soviet army monopolized a large amount of food, not only did not a single person starve to death, but not even a single person lost his combat effectiveness due to malnutrition.

The generals of the Ming army looked at all this and really didn't know what to say. Let's say that the Soviet army is cold-blooded, after all, there is nothing wrong with defending the territory, and it is understandable that the supply of the army is given priority in the war. Besides, the Soviet army still has so many supplies left, and it is completely possible to continue to hold on despite the continuous starvation of civilians. But now they didn't, but surrendered, avoiding more civilians from starving. But from another point of view, since the Soviet army could not have surrendered when it ran out of ammunition and food, why didn't it surrender earlier, why did it drag on until now, and let so many civilians starve to death.

After the Ming army entered the city, the first thing it did was to open the Soviet army's munitions warehouse and distribute food to the civilians of Vladivostok. The food in the Soviet munitions depot was distributed in a few hours, and the Ming occupation army obtained the consent of their superiors and temporarily took out their own supplies for distribution. Because Vladivostok is the southernmost station of the Trans-Siberian Railway, the transportation is convenient, and the Ming army can quickly use the Trans-Siberian Railway to transport grain, fuel, and cloth from the Ming army-controlled area in the north to Vladivostok, and try to save the city from the edge of the "ghost town".
