After the exercise, Jia Liu said a few words to the officers and men participating in the training as usual.

It didn't take long, maybe half an hour.

Due to the hot weather and the poison of the sun, the guard department will insert the Son of Heaven's honor guard Zhenghuang Daxu, so that the emperor's speech under Daxu will not be sunburned.

But His Majesty the Emperor flatly refused, saying that the officers and soldiers were not afraid of the sun, and what did he, the emperor, have to be afraid of.

The speech was written for him, and it was finalized after a few revisions.

The overall rhythm of the speech was very well controlled, sometimes with small climaxes, sometimes with large climaxes, and it was basically coherent in one go, without deliberately breaking the text and without quoting scriptures, just as Meng Jiapo was down-to-earth in his speech to the officers and men of the First Regiment, which aroused the sympathy and applause of the officers and men, and greatly encouraged their morale.

Finally, amid the warm applause and long live voices of the officers and men participating in the exercise, Jia Liu led the crowd to leave the training site and go to the headquarters of the First Army at Wusheng Pass.

Although it was already dark, Jia Liu still ignored his fatigue and ordered people to convene a meeting of observation groups from various provinces.

He also asked Bao Guozhong, chief of staff of the First Army, to set up the venue.

Due to the suddenness of the will and the lack of meeting arrangements in advance, Bao Guozhong couldn't find a suitable venue for a while, so he had to charter the only Qinglou in Guanli, and sent fifty wen to each of his sisters, and he had the right to rest today.

After receiving the notice of the meeting, the Zhili observation group was the first to arrive, led by Wan Chaoxing, the former governor of Zhili and now known as the general of Jingzhou.

moved Wan Chaoxing from the governor of Zhili to the general of Jingzhou, first, in order to pave the way for Wang Fu to be the governor of Zhili; The second is to solve the problem of Wan Chaoxing's grade treatment.

The Admiral of the Green Battalion and the General of Jingzhou are both from the first rank, but the latter is a flag member, and before the city of Jingzhou is broken, the ranking of the General of Jingzhou is above the Governor of Huguang.

Therefore, Wan Chaoxing's transfer to General Jingzhou was actually a change from the commander of the corps from a lieutenant general to the commander of the general theater, and the gold content of both the grade and the political treatment were much higher.

However, the Restoration Dynasty now implements the Qihan system, and the government and the army no longer have separate flagmen, and Jingzhou Mancheng will not be rebuilt, so this Jingzhou general will naturally be abolished.

In view of the fact that Wan Chaoxing had made great efforts to himself in the past, and had always supported himself with a clear banner, and set a practical example in action, he was a subordinate who could be relied on, so Jia Liu planned that if the Yungui side could not solve it peacefully, he appointed Wan Chaoxing as the governor of Yungui and led two or three armies to recover Yungui.

He also set up an operational command against Burma in Kunming to prepare for the future export of the Restoration Empire to Southeast Asia.

Burma was the first military power around the Qing Dynasty, and Qianlong suffered a big loss, if the Restoration court could conquer this military power militarily, it would inevitably greatly increase the authority of Jia Liu, the emperor.

This time, Fan Wei, the leader of the Zhili delegation, was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, so Wan Chaoxing temporarily led a delegation to observe the exercise.

In military matters, he, the pre-governor, is also good at it, and he is professional.

The second person to enter the venue was the leader of the Shandong observation group and the deputy capital of Qingzhou Eight Banners.

The original leader of the Shandong delegation was Yu Yijian, the political envoy, but he returned to Shandong after the meeting of the hundred officials and clans, because he wanted to convey the spirit of the conference to the governor of Guotai and implement the measures of comprehensive reform in Shandong Province, so the military representative Hetu was in charge of observing the delegation.

The main leaders of the three provinces of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Shanxi have all returned, and the representative of the military observation is Shanxi Deputy General Qian Anzhi.

The representative of the Henan military observation group was adjutant general Zhou Xiong.

The leader of the Sichuan observation group was Wu Bingzhen, the former deputy general of Songfan Town, who was not originally a "Jia family", but later joined the Communist Association under the persuasion of Li Shijie, the governor of Sichuan, to assist Chairman Li in comprehensively rectifying the Sichuan Green Camp and starting the formation of the Sichuan New Army.

The Sichuan Green Battalion was reorganized into the Tenth Army, and Wu Bingzhen was expected to serve as the commander of the army.

The leader of the Liangjiang delegation was Hao Shuo, the governor of Jiangxi who did not go back with Prince Zheng after the conference, saying that he wanted to stay in Xiangyang to further study the spirit of the Restoration, but in fact he did not have much to do after going back, so it was better to study a thing or two here in Xiangyang, and perhaps the emperor would be happy to promote him to a post in the central government.

This is not much stronger than the Commander of the Light Pole.

But apparently Jia Liu did not have the idea of promoting Hao Shuo to serve in the imperial court, and once met him alone, which put a burden on him.

This burden is to contain and huge old watches.

Jia Liu planned to reappoint Hao Shuo as the governor of Jiangsu.

With Hao Shuo is Ma Youde, who was reprimanded by Jia Liu in the previous defeat and later transferred to the Jiangxi General Army.

If the Imperial Court of the Restoration finally reached a reconciliation with the Wuchang side and accepted the change of banners from the Wuchang side, Ma Youde, the Jiangxi general soldier, would definitely not be able to do it, and most of them would be transferred to the Jiangsu general army.

On the Wuchang side, Chen Huizu and Lu Yuanguang are still under the leadership of Chen Huizu and Lu Yuanguang, and the two have been secretly negotiating with the new cabinet, and the two sides have now reached an agreement on major issues, but there are still disputes over the specifics.

This time, the First Army organized a summer exercise, and Jia Liu specially asked Chen Huizu to lead the delegation to Wushengguan to observe, just to give the Wuchang delegation a little shock - it was not that I couldn't beat you in the past, but I didn't want to beat you at all!

The delegations, together with the civil and military entourage of the imperial camp, and the main generals of the First Army, arrived at the venue one after another, but they did not see that this venue was actually a green building, because the plaque and the entertainment facilities in the building were demolished.

There are many mosquitoes in the sky, and a lot of mosquito repellent incense was lit at the venue.

This makes it so that unless the nose is particularly sharp and the person who is particularly sensitive to the smell of women's fat powder can detect something wrong, others will not be able to find the true face of the venue at all.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

With the passing of the guards in yellow vests in front of the goal, Jia Liu, who had already changed his clothes, appeared in the sight of the representatives of the participating provinces.

"Whoa!"

Officials who drank tea, nibbled on watermelons, ate melon seeds, gossiped, and made friends stood up and bowed to their actual (nominal) emperor.

"Sit, sit,"

Jia Liu cordially raised his hand and motioned for the deputies who stood up to take their seats.

He had decreed the abolition of the prostration and the prostration as a rite of etiquette for court officials, including to meet him, His Majesty the Emperor.

After walking to his throne, Jia Liu habitually spread out the notebook on the table, and instinctively glanced at it, and then nodded slightly.

Even if there is not a word in the notebook, he can't change this smooth action for a while.

The kind that goes deep into the bone marrow.

Seeing the emperor seated, all the officials also hurriedly sat down and opened the notebook in front of them like the emperor.

According to the prior arrangement, Jiangxi's general soldier Ma Youde took the lead in speaking, but he was emotionally asked when His Majesty the Emperor would go on the Northern Expedition.

Bao Ning, the commander of the First Army, also stood up and said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, more than 20,000 soldiers of my First Army are waiting for your Majesty's order, and you can go straight to Huanglong!" ”

Obviously, the theme of this meeting is the Northern Expedition.

The participants knew in their hearts that they supported the Northern Expedition except for a few people, and hoped that the sooner the better.

Because the longer it drags on, the more variables there will be.

The grapevine said that the Eight Banners outside the customs had received Qianlong's edict and were planning to enter the customs in a big way.

The southwest and Liangguang regions may have to use force to defeat the new government.

The so-called capture of the thief first captures the king, as long as the Beijing division is taken to completely overthrow the Qianlong government, no matter how big the variables will be scattered with the wind.

The officials attending the meeting were all firm on this point.

Representatives of the second, third, and fourth armies also stood up one after another, strongly asking His Majesty the Emperor to issue an edict on the Northern Expedition.

For a while, the call for the Northern Expedition filled the venue, which made Jia Liu very up, and the familiar Ningbo dialect sounded in his ears in a trance - "In April of the sixteenth year of the Republic of China, it was in the suburbs of Xuzhou that I was fortunate to personally lead hundreds of thousands of athletes to conquer the Beiyang warlords Sun Chuanfang and Zhang Zongchang, and won a complete victory!" ”
