Episode 197 Nan Mingzi was the first to enter Beijing

On the 14th, Xiang Xiaoqiang planned to quickly end the matter of Ha Yukun before Zhu Yourong and a group of civil and military ministers came to Beijing. Lest so many big officials have nothing to do after coming to Beijing, and if anyone suddenly becomes interested in Ha Yukun and retries the whole case in detail, it will be troublesome.

In the afternoon, Xiang Xiaoqiang arranged a simple military court for his stomachache, and sentenced Ha Yukun to death on three charges: "sacking Beijing", "killing Mu Hu and Nashun", and "embezzling the Forbidden City and the huge wealth of the national treasury". The firing squad then executed the execution in a short and quick manner.

Ha Yukun and Mu Hu are both dead. Now, Xiang Xiaoqiang is completely relieved and can devote himself to the pursuit of Guangwu.

Yu Yan had already been escorted to a passenger ship at noon and escorted by a destroyer to the mainland of Daming. But only Yu Yan himself was sent, and his entourage and bodyguards were still left in the base of the Nanyang Fleet. Originally, General Staff of the Sea planned to send everyone back to the mainland together, but Shen Rongxuan stopped him. He hinted that Yu Ti's entourage was not the same as Yu Ti, and that Yu Ti could not be forced to confess, but his entourage was different. Leaving them at overseas bases avoids the complicated and strict legal procedures at home, as well as the pervasive reporters and the iron-faced and selfless imperial historians, who can be tortured with impunity.

After Xiang Xiaoqiang heard what the headquarters said, he sighed that this is an experienced person, and this can be thought of. And it is really convenient to have overseas military bases. Not only is it convenient to fight, but in the current situation, overseas bases can also be used as "torture prisons", and the place where the emperor is far away, far away from the local "sun shining on democracy and the rule of law", is not how to try as you want.

He estimated that Yu Yan's entourage would soon have to explain. The Northern Qing Dynasty was a society without faith, from the Minister of Military Aircraft to a small soldier, the only "faith" was to be promoted to become rich. Such people do not need to be punished in any way, they do not even need whips and cold water, they take a pencil and tap their fingers twice, and these people have to say everything.

Xiang Xiaoqiang knew that even if they confessed, it must be the same as he guessed: Guangwu was sitting on another ship, heading for Central America in the Pacific Ocean.

Therefore, he arranged a plane that afternoon, and arranged for Xiuxiu to fly back to Nanjing, where he visited Bradley to discuss the matter of putting pressure on the Dominican government. Although it is an international relationship, it is also a "relationship". For foreigners, it is easier to do things if there is a relationship than nothing at all. No, my relatives are major shareholders of Ford, so this relationship is used.

What's more convenient is that it doesn't have to go through the government and doesn't involve all kinds of diplomatic troubles. That's what happens between the boss and the boss. Ford is a big conglomerate in the United States, and United Fruit is also a big conglomerate in the United States, but it's not as big as the Ford conglomerate. Between the two consortia, why can't they discuss, why can't they make some transactions, who doesn't need anyone!

"Guangwu, you kid miscalculated," Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and leaned back in his chair, shaking back and forth, and muttered to himself, "You think it's okay to escape to the backyard of the United States?" Hehe, I don't know, we have 'someone' in the United States. ”

……

Sure enough, before evening, news came from Palembang that those people had been recruited. As expected, there was also a boat, and Guangwu was on it. The ship was on the Pacific route and is now on its way in the western Pacific.

Almost at the same time, news came from the General Staff of the Nanjing Maritime Department that the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier detachment had just discovered a Dominican cargo ship. The water reconnaissance plane flew low and slowly brushed by, and saw clearly the name of the ship on the bow, which was the San Pedro.

It is now on the high seas, far from the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, and it seems to be far away from any area with a high incidence of "pirates". A ship had already been robbed by "pirates" before, and now it was "robbed" again, and even fools could see what was going on. Therefore, those who can't come to martial arts can only come to the text. In other words, he can only be sent to Dominica first, and then find a way to repatriate Dominica.

In order to prevent Guangwu from changing attention halfway, it is necessary to track the whole process. Now it is impossible to send submarines from the East China Sea Fleet to catch up. The General Staff ordered the aircraft carrier detachment to return home, leaving behind a destroyer, and followed the San Pedro until it entered the Dominican port.

Of course, destroyers are no better than submarines, they are all surface ships, the mast height is about the same, and the characteristic black smoke column of the high-speed boiler of the warship can be seen from a few nautical miles away, and it is impossible not to be detected. Now the tracking is no longer a secret follow, but an open follow. That can't be helped.

……

On the 15th, there were three days left before the Empress's birthday and the military parade into the city. From the morning, representatives of the various units of the Ming army began to arrive in Beijing one after another. Columns of military columns drove into the Beijing Railway Station, and officers and men of various numbers and uniforms stepped out of the train.

The first to arrive was the Praetorian Guard of the People's Guard. Not only did they have to participate in the military parade into the city, but they also had to take on the security duties of the empress. Xiang Xiaoqiang has been in Beijing for so many days, and he has basically restored social order and public order. Now these professional Praetorian Guards only need to do some preparations. For example, check whether there are bombs in the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and Earth, the Taimiao, etc., and whether there is a suitable place to hide at the moment; Is there a problem with the Empress and the vehicles to be used in the ceremony; There is also the Aixinjue Luo clan ranking and portrait in the Taimiao Temple, and replace them with the Zhu Ming royal family......

Other units also came one after another. Of course, it is generally the size of a battalion or even a company, representing the entire army to enjoy the honor of "Beijing entering the city". There were many units participating in the Northern Expedition, and even if they only came with one company and one battalion, they were all stationed around Beijing.

Army groups on the right, army groups on the left, armored divisions, motorized infantry divisions, semi-motorized infantry divisions, army aviation, naval aviation, and major fleets, especially the heroic fleets that have distinguished themselves for a long time -- the Dongjiang Fleet, the Yangtze River Fleet, submarine forces, and jungle divisions that participated in the Nanyang War......

There is also a special representative of the troops, that is, the Taihang Mountain Column.

The Taihang Mountain Column came to a full regiment this time, all of whom were "veterans", that is, veterans who rebelled from the Baoding Arsenal and went up the mountain. The Taihang Mountain Column made great contributions to the Ming army's destruction of the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that without the Taihang Mountain Column, it would be difficult for the Ming army to enter Shanxi smoothly. If you can't enter Shanxi, the elimination of the Qing army in the Central Plains and North China will be far away. In the all-Ming army, they were the poorest trained and equipped, and the quality of their soldiers was also the lowest, but the combat and living conditions were the most difficult. In other battlefields, the Ming army often used aircraft tanks and submachine guns against the rifle bayonets of the Qing army, while in Shanxi, they often used rifle bayonets against the aircraft and artillery of the Qing army.

What is more significant is that the Taihang Mountain Column is an all-northern people's army, which symbolizes the northern people's resistance to the Northern Qing Dynasty and has strong political significance. This time, the Taihang Mountain column will have the largest number of people and will be at the forefront of the parade troops. This arrangement was unanimously agreed upon by Zhu Yourong and the Command.

……

On the afternoon of March 17, Zhu Yourong's special train entered Beijing Station.

Almost all the high-ranking civil and military officials in Beijing came to the station to greet the holy driver. Cars, chiefs' cars, military trucks, armored vehicles, and sidecar motorcycles as far as the eye can see...... Lined up outside the station. After the empress's convoy left the station, it did not enter the city directly, but first went west to the Summer Palace to stay, and then gave a banquet in the Summer Palace at night, which was not only regarded as the empress rewarding hundreds of officials, but also regarded as washing the dust for Her Majesty.

After the military band elegantly crossed the door, the door of the carriage opened. Zhu Yourong appeared by the car door and waved to everyone with a smile. Suddenly, the whole station sounded the ceremony of long live Shanhu, and everyone bowed down and said in unison:

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live—"

"Flat."

"Your Majesty—"

On the empress's northern tour this time, although there were many officials who followed, none of them were the highest. The core important officials, such as Shen Rongxuan, cabinet ministers, and several core generals of the high command, still stayed in Nanjing. Nanjing is the capital, and it can't be hollowed out all at once.

So at the train station, Xiang Xiaoqiang became the highest-ranking official.

He took a step forward, bowed down and saluted, and then led Zhu Yourong along the red carpet to accept the audience of the officials and generals.

Zhu Yourong smiled at the military generals on both sides, but said softly:

"Stand out, look back, who I'm bringing here."

Xiang Xiaoqiang turned his head to look, only to see Fourteen Gege appear by the door of the carriage, also smiling and waving to the crowd.

The officials at the auto show were surprised, stunned for a few seconds, and shouted again:

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, Chitose Chitose—"

……

"Stand out," Zhu Yourong continued to whisper while smiling, "When I came, Princess Liaoyang suggested that when I went back, I should go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen. She said that in the past 300 years, I was the first great emperor to enter Beijing, and my martial arts surpassed the previous emperors of the previous dynasties, and completely reached the merit of sealing Zen...... What do you think? ”
