Chapter 79: Choice
Nalan Yuanshu came on behalf of the Qing Empire in an official capacity, and Yang Lie and they also received them with the corresponding official etiquette.
In Yang Lie's words, I am a Chinese and etiquette-oriented, and I can't lose face in front of the country of Fanbang. The location of the meeting with Nalan Yuanshu has also changed, and it is no longer a combat center, but a conference hall.
Nalan Yuanshu is very direct, just like Yang Lie said, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, there is no need to play any chat, Nalan Yuanshu sat down at one end of the long table in the conference hall in a regular manner, and then said, "What do you need me to do?" ”
"I want you to help us integrate the military forces of the southeastern provinces as our servant army."
"Yes, but my swords and guns can't be aimed at my own people, this is my bottom line!" Nalan Yuanshu said resolutely.
Yang Lie nodded, expressing his understanding of Nalan Yuanshu's bottom line. Nalan Yuanshu is not a villain in the traditional sense, he is just a tragic hero in that era, otherwise, he would not have said the sentence "We are soldiers, and we are also people in the rivers and lakes".
"Yes, but we're going to reorganize the servant army and rebuild it, they're terrible!" Yang Lie said coldly.
Nalan Yuanshu was silent, Yang Lie was clearly showing that he wanted military power, military power is always a silent topic, giving up military power means that his own net worth and life are in the hands of others, but Nalan Yuanshu has no bargaining capital at all.
"What do I get?"
"The post of Prime Minister of the Republic."
"I'm really going to die?" Although he was already prepared in his heart, when Nalan Yuanshu heard Yang Lie spit out the three words "Republic" with his own ears, Nalan Yuanshu knew that the Qing Dynasty was going to die, and Nalan Yuanshu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Nalan Yuanshu gritted his teeth, not letting himself cry, and also forcibly suppressed the madness in his heart to take a risk, he was very close to Yang Lie, so close that he was only separated by a table, he was not sure that he would kill with one blow, and even if he killed Yang Lie, it would not help, but would provoke even more crazy revenge.
Nalan Yuanshu once again experienced the sadness of "people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat".
Royalist or Bao, this is a choice. Choosing to protect the emperor is bound to meet Yang Lie's soldiers, and then ...... There is no then; If you choose to protect the family, you will inevitably cooperate with Yang Lie, but this will be a negative favor. If it sounds good, it's called for the overall situation, and if it's ugly, it's called betrayal!
"Nope! It's not a betrayal, it's a ...... For the sake of the overall situation, this is the rebirth of the Eight Banners of Manzhou......" Through repeated thinking, Nalan Yuanshu figured it out, and then made a choice.
After a long time, Nalan Yuanshu walked out of the grief of the imminent destruction of the country, inhaled, gritted his teeth, and said in a cold voice: "Not enough! It's not enough to have a vacant job! ”
"The autonomy of the three northeastern provinces and the lives of hundreds of thousands of banner people in Guannai!" Yang Lie said slowly.
Nalan Yuanshu couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Yang Lie to be so generous, he actually handed over the three eastern provinces to him, and also handed over the lives of hundreds of thousands of banner people in the Guannai to him, but then he was furious. "No way, you're forcing us to die! said that it was to give us banner people a way to live, but in fact, it still had to force us to death, and the wilderness of the Northeast could not support so many banner people. ”
Yang Lie was slightly stunned, how could it be possible, the Northeast was a famous black land in later generations. Yang Lie saw that Nalan Yuanshu's expression did not seem to be fake, thought about it slightly, and then realized it instantly. At this time, the Northeast is not the Northeast of later generations, it is between the standard white mountains and black waters, and the environment is naturally extremely harsh.
If it was in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, with the fierceness of the Manchu Eight Banners, they could naturally adapt to the environment at that time, but with the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchurian Eight Banners had already decayed and become people who were waiting for death, and then suddenly drove them back to the Northeast, they really may not be able to adapt to the harsh environment.
Besides, the bannermen have long lost their farming skills, and it is really very difficult to expect them to go back to farming to survive.
"That's your business! Since your ancestors were able to walk out of the white mountains and black waters, then you should also be able to walk back! However, since you Nalan Yuanshu is a handsome man of practical knowledge, I will give you banner people two ways to survive: first, I will build a large industrial base here, and I need a large number of people, you banner people can come here to work, and I will send you food and pay. After Yang Lie finished speaking, he took out the map and drew a few circles on the map.
Nalan Yuanshu snorted again, thinking: "I knew that you didn't have any good intentions, saying that you were giving us the right to self-government, but in the end, you still have to stick a nail in it and adopt our people." ”
Nalan Yuanshu took the map angrily and looked at it, he was stunned again, he blinked, looked up at Yang Lie, and then looked at the map, Nalan Yuanshu thought that Yang Lie would choose Shengjing, Ningyuan and other military places, but he didn't expect Yang Lie to choose a place where birds don't, this place Nalan Yuanshu faintly had some impressions, it seemed to be the hunting ground of the Dulbert Banner of the Jelimu League.
"Are you sure you want to build an industrial base here? There's not even a person here......" Nalan Yuanshu felt incredible.
Nalan Yuanshu thought it was incredible, but Leng Zixi knew that the hunting ground of the Dulbert Banner of the Zhelimu League was clearly the location of the Daqing Oilfield in the later generations.
"Sure! And I can guarantee that this industrial base can support at least 10,000 to 30,000 banner people, and I will also build a direct railway to Lushun, so that I can support 30,000 to 50,000 banner people. As long as you flag people don't want to wait for death, you won't die. ”
"What about the second way to survive?"
"Farming!"
"Farming?" Nalan Yuanshu's voice suddenly raised twice, and then he said extremely embarrassed, "The banner people are all wasted, they may not be able to plant the land......"
"Rubbish, what rubbish!" Yang Lie scolded coldly, and then drew the map: "This is Nanyang, there are not many others in Nanyang, there are many natives, you Manchurian Eight Banners are wasted, no matter how much you don't move, you can't lift knives and guns, you go to Nanyang, go to capture these natives, and farm for you!" Don't you know how to farm, and won't pick up a whip and whip the natives of Nanyang to farm for you? ……”
Nalan Yuanshu's face turned red, "You are really wrong, the current Manchurian Eight Banners are really wasted, and they really can't hold knives and guns......"
"What? Won't you Manchurian Eight Banners really not even be able to lift knives and guns? People want to save themselves, you have given up on yourself, and you can still count on others? You Manchurian Eight Banners can't defeat the foreigners, Li Hongzhang's Huai Army, Liu Yongfu's Black Flag Army, you can't beat the local regimental training, and even the Green Battalion is not as good as ......."
"That's not even better than not being able to defeat that group of Nanyang natives, if you can't even beat the Nanyang native monkeys, why are you still alive? Do you want me to keep you shit? Is it not good to deceive me about the knife in Yang Lie's hand? Yang Lie said with cold disdain.
Nalan Yuanshu's old face turned red again, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, but he turned his head and thought, "Yang Lie is right, people are expensive in saving themselves, and if you don't save yourself, can you still expect others to save you?" Yang Lie's return to the gate is already a great kindness, if he is playing tricks, the knife in Yang Lie's hand can be sharpened......"
Thinking of this, Nalan Yuanshu was excited, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, knowing that he had to make no more inches, Yang Lie had really done his duty, with Yang Lie's strength, it was a matter of one sentence to kill the flag man, so what Katyusha fired a volley, it is estimated that the flag man will almost die......
Nalan Yuanshu gritted his teeth: "The Eight Banners of Manchukuo are rotten, but they are not completely rotten, and we can always find a few decent people...... I really don't believe it, our Manchurian Eight Banners can't beat the foreigners, or even the local group training, and we can't beat the group of indigenous monkeys? ”
"But we don't have a ship, how can we go to the South Seas?"
"Oh, boat, you have ...... Except for the warships of the Eagle Kingdom and the German warships, the rest of the captured warships are given to you......" Yang Lie said indifferently.
Nalan Yuanshu blinked, indicating that he did not understand Yang Lie's arrangement.
"You Nalan Yuanshu is both resourceful and resourceful, why does it become so unbearable when it involves foreigners? Thy wisdom and counseling? Yang Lie said with hatred that iron is not steel.
This is also a common problem of Chinese people in this era, infighting and scheming are unparalleled, and when it comes to foreigners, it becomes the same as a turtle grandson.
"Please...... Da handsome to solve the doubts! ”
