Under the operation of the Japanese special high school and various military departments, Pu Yi successfully escaped from Tianjin and arrived in Lushun, and then traveled many ways, and was arranged in a government in Fushun, Liaoning.

Although this mansion is not luxurious, there is no gramophone, no flush toilet, and even the mansion where he took refuge in Tianjin is not as good, but when he returned here, Pu Yi was fierce and full of emotion.

Standing on this courtyard with northeastern characteristics, Pu Yi looked into the distance, the vast black earth and the big chimney emitting billowing black smoke made him feel that everything here was so beautiful, Pu Yi took a deep breath of the air here, the smell with an industrial atmosphere was refreshing, and with this unique taste of Manchuria, his thoughts began to drift.

Hundreds of years ago, the brave and resourceful Qing Taizu Nurhachi ascended the throne here, and then conquered Shenyang to unify the northeastern tribes, and then waved his army south, and then drank the Yangtze River, relying on tens of thousands of Eight Banner warriors, they finally laid down a large territory, which is also the world's first-class empire - the Qing Empire.

However, the development of things followed the laws of history after all, and after the Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Empire gradually declined, and even he, the orthodox emperor, had to watch the faces of the generals of the Nationalist Government behave, and even the cemeteries of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty were ransacked.

These humiliating experiences made Pu Yi determined to revive the Qing Empire, and he kept looking for this opportunity until the Japanese found him.

To be honest, he knows that the Japanese are not a good thing, and he also knows the ultimate purpose of the Japanese, the fall of the Qing Kingdom has a lot to do with these ungrateful Orientals, and he does not have any good feelings towards the Japanese in his heart, but he still has to rely on these people, because this is one of his few, or even the only chance.

There were a few snowflakes floating in the sky, and because of the high temperature of the ground, the snowflakes melted quickly when they fell on the ground. Pu Yi stretched out his hand to touch these snowflakes on the land of Northeast China.

"I think of the snow and pray for the sky." He muttered more like a prayer to heaven.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Kenji Dohihara is here." Zheng Xiaoxu, who was about to be appointed Minister of the Interior, walked up to Pu Yi and said. Pu Yi turned his head and smiled at Zheng Xiaoxu, this Qing Dynasty Guangxu eight years of the people are loyal to the imperial family, he has served as the Guangxi Frontier Minister, Anhui Guangdong according to the inspection envoy, Hunan political envoy and other important official positions, in ability and loyalty are impeccable.

Pu Yi had already seen the black Mercedes-Benz parked at the door, he took off the cloak he was wearing and went downstairs with strong steps.

When Kenji Dohihara saw Pu Yi, his chubby figure just bowed slightly and smiled: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I have absolutely good news for you." ”

Pu Yi deliberately straightened his waist, took out an emperor's style and asked, "What kind of good news is it?" Let's hear it. ”

Kenji Dohihara did not have a restraint in front of the emperor, but instead sat down on the chair next to him and said: "In recent days, the warriors of the empire have inflicted heavy losses on the government army in Manchuria, defeating Zhang Xueliang's troops and their central army has also been wiped out. It seems that His Majesty's dream of ascending the throne and rebuilding the Qing Dynasty will soon be realized, haha. ”

"Good!" Pu Yi stood up from his chair with a heartfelt smile on his face; "It seems that the planning work for the enthronement is also in full swing, Zheng Xiaoxu, how is the preparation for the formation of the new government?"

Pu Yi set his eyes on Zheng Xiaoxu who was on the side, Zheng Xiaoxu stood up and said humbly as if he were treating an emperor: "Your Majesty, as you said, all preparations for the accession to the throne are in progress, except for the emperor's relatives and guards, all government agencies are almost complete. ”

Saying that, Zheng Xiaoxu handed over a "fold" written with a brush, and Pu Yi took it and looked at it cursoryly: "Aiqing's calligraphy is really unique in the world, and this fold can be regarded as a calligraphy ink treasure." ”

Kenji Dohihara smiled and said, "I am also very fond of Chinese culture, His Majesty the Emperor, can you show me this recital, so that I can also appreciate Mr. Zheng's calligraphy." ”

Pu Yi handed the fold to Kenji Tohihara, he stretched out his fat palm and took it and looked at it, and sighed from time to time: "Mr. Zheng's calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, and the pen is sophisticated, and it is really unique in the world!" ”

After Zheng Xiaoxu heard the praise, he also responded with a humble attitude unique to Chinese readers.

After reading the fold, Kenji Dohihara put the fold on the table and smiled: "It seems that all the preparations are almost completed, and His Majesty the Emperor's Praetorian Guard will also be put on the agenda." Mr. Zheng, you have to hurry up, the safety of His Majesty the Emperor is very important. ”

Pu Yi didn't expect Kenji Dohihara to agree to him so readily to form the Praetorian Guard, and his face immediately showed joy. However, Kenji Tsuchihara didn't say much, he stood up, picked up the military hat on the table, said goodbye, and walked straight out.

Looking at the departing figure of Kenji Dophihara, Pu Yi said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Aiqing, it seems that the Japanese are not all bastards, this Tohihara actually agreed to our request to form a Praetorian Guard, you hurry up and do it, I want to form a royal Praetorian Guard with 300 warriors, and only when you have military power can you really grasp power!" ”

"It's just ......" Zheng Xiaoxu wanted to say a few words, how can the Japanese have such good kindness, let you form a team of hundreds of people to them can not only show them benevolence, but also within their control, but he still didn't say it.

Pu Yi shook his head and said: "Aiqing, I know what you want to say, but these three hundred people are just our beginning, in the future, we will build an army as big as Taizu back then, and we will unify China again, let's do it." ”

Zheng Xiaoxu arched his hand and said: "Obey!" ”

A few days later, under the authorization of Zheng Xiaoxu, the Praetorian Guard began to recruit officers and soldiers, although the emperor had not yet held an enthronement ceremony at this time, and the new country had not yet been established, but the selection of the Praetorian Guard was still very strict.

The members of the Praetorian Guard are mainly selected from three aspects, the first is selected from the puppet Manchukuo army composed of surrendered Northeast officers and soldiers, the second is the soldiers of the Mongolian rebels, and the second is recruited from the society. The first two of these three aspects are mainly selected, after all, they are all military selection, and both actual combat ability and credibility are relatively high, while the so-called latter social recruitment is just a formality.

Changchun City is about to be renamed Xinjing, so several recruitment offices have been set up in the city, of course, it is not stated that they are recruiting the Praetorian Guard. On a street in Changchun, where the Northeast Army was originally stationed in the barracks, a sign and two tables at the recruiting office were put together, and several veterans of the Northeast Army who had surrendered sat there chatting.

It's really not a good errand to recruit soldiers outside on a cold day, but it's much better than being stuffy in the barracks. Therefore, after the Northeast Incident, they followed their commander to the Japanese, and heard that Manchukuo was about to be established.

These soldiers took off their armed belts and guns and put them on the table, and one by one they smoked melon seeds in their mouths, and saw the big girls and little daughters-in-law passing by nearby take advantage of them from time to time, and then let out a burst of laughter.

"I said, have you heard? What, it turns out that the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom came back and said that in the future, our brothers will be on an errand for him. A soldier who swallowed melon seeds, spit out the shell of melon seeds, and his fat military cotton pants were everywhere.

"I heard that a Mao, a few days ago, I saw the Gazi of the original Marshal Mansion, who is not tall, wears glasses, and has almost the same virtue as Zhang Xueliang before, how can he be worthy of the former handsome man?" An older soldier cocked Erlang's legs and bragged to the recruit.

His words aroused the interest of the recruits, and the soldiers all coaxed and asked: "Brother, can you tell my brother about that old handsome, I heard that you have been on an errand in the Guards Brigade?" ”

The veteran rolled his legs, lit a bag of cigarettes, and spat at the stars, blowing all over the sky.

"Is this Ga a recruit?" A black-faced man walked up to the recruiting office with his hands in his sleeves and asked in a Northeast accent.

A soldier saw this stupid big man and said contemptuously: "Blind? Don't you see the words on it? ”

"Help me report one!" The black-faced man said seriously.

"What are you capable of? Just because of you stupid big guy? It's okay to get out of the calf, and then mess with me and whip you. "A younger soldier is listening to the enthusiasm, where is the recruitment of soldiers.

"Help me report one, I used to be a soldier." The black-faced man said seriously again.

"Fuck you......" Before the soldier could scold, the black-faced man stepped forward and grabbed his hand, and threw him a few feet away with a hard throw, and several other soldiers saw that someone was coming to make trouble, and hurriedly wanted to touch the gun, but the black-faced man was faster, and he stepped forward to take down the gun and cut the head and cover the face.

This scene happened to be seen by Zheng Xiaoxu who was on patrol, he asked people to stop the conflict, walked to the black-faced man and asked the reason, the black-faced man told the story again, and several soldiers from the recruiting office wanted to justify, but Zheng Xiaoxu glared back.

"You've been a soldier before?" Zheng Xiaoxu asked.

"Report, it used to be the Guard Brigade of the Northeast Frontier Army Headquarters, and the team dispersed on the day of the Northeast Incident, and I had no food to eat, so I came over today when I saw someone recruiting." The black-faced man replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, and by looking at his face, he knew that this person had not eaten for a few days.

"What's your name? Have you ever been to a military school? In the former military for any positions? Zheng Xiaoxu seemed to be interested in the black-faced man in front of him.

"Report, my name is Liu Kun, I served as a captain and company commander in the Northeast Frontier Army Guard Brigade, and I have studied in the Northeast Lecture Hall for several years." Liu Kun straightened his waist and said.

Zheng Xiaoxu nodded: "You go to the recruiting station at the city gate, just tell them that I recommended you to go!" ”

Liu Kun snapped upright, and after thanking him, he asked Zheng Xiaoxu: "Sir, I want to borrow a few pennies to buy a few flatbreads to eat, but I haven't seen food in my stomach for a few days." ”

Zheng Xiaoxu smiled, took out a silver dollar from his pocket and handed it to him, the man took the silver dollar and snapped a salute, casually found a restaurant and ordered a few side dishes and buns, ate and drank by himself, on the table next to him, several strangers were quietly observing his every move.

Liu Kun smiled contemptuously, after eating and drinking, he took out the silver dollar to settle the bill, and when Xiao Er was collecting the money, he stuffed a note into his hand while people were unprepared, with a set of numbers written on it, and the shopkeeper translated it literally: "Successfully entered, deep sea!" ”
