Chapter 318 We are back!

After sending Thomas and George to enjoy the wonderful night of the Oriental Garden, they didn't have time to find four women to share their excitement before entering South America. Master Li got several urgent telegrams from all over the world.

After cutting off the telephone line, cutting off the waterway, and taking Tianjin, Yanjing and more than half of Zhili at lightning speed, the news finally began to spread, and the whole land of China was boiling, especially in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River led by Li Hongzhang. They were even more excited and asked to immediately wave troops to the north to protect the king.

At this time, Sheng Huaixuan, a Hongding speculative businessman, finally put forward the so-called southeast mutual protection theory. Under his connection, on September 27, 1898, Liu Kunyi, the governor of the two rivers, Tan Zhonglin, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, Li Hongzhang, the governor of the two rivers, Wei Guangtao, the governor of Yungui, and Liu Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan. Under the contact of the urgent telegram, it was announced that it would maintain national and local stability and agreed to the Southeast Mutual Insurance Agreement!

At the same time, Liu Kun issued 50,000 Huai troops, Zhang Zhidong issued 50,000 Xiang troops, and Governor Yungui issued 30,000 Gui troops. In addition, Fujian, Zhejiang, Liangguang and Sichuan mobilized 20,000 soldiers each to form a division of the King of Qin to fight against the traitors. People from all walks of life are gathering rapidly.

has been changed to the direct administration of the General Staff. The General Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency of the military, which were renamed by Duan Fei, have confirmed this news, and it is also predicted that the first troops will leave for the north within three days at the latest!

At the same time, Li Bingheng, the governor of Shandong, Geng, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Yu Yinlin, the governor of Henan, also said that they should immediately protect the king. In particular, the Songwu army in Shandong has begun to go north one after another.

Zhili was also in a mess. A large number of scattered soldiers and soldiers were gathered together under the tandem of Henan governor Yuyinlin. They also wanted to go north to the king of Qin. What's more serious is the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Geng. Due to the return, Tibet and other ethnic groups are complex and have been in turmoil for a long time, so he has 100,000 elite riders composed of various ethnic groups. Soldier, this is the most difficult force to deal with!

In addition, the General Intelligence Agency also found that the northern Mongolian princes seemed to have received news and were organizing people to deal with this great change. However, it is still unknown whether they were afraid of self-protection or ready to go south. However, the General Intelligence Agency has found a large number of Russians in Mongolia. They seem to be in groups. He is lobbying Mongolia to take this opportunity to send troops with Russia!

What worried Li Mo most was that the day after the Southeast Mutual Insurance, the great powers obviously reached an agreement with Li Hongzhang and others. In particular, Britain was the most active. Six cruisers have been sent to start going north along the Yangtze River, and it is expected to arrive in Hankou in a few days.

The United States, France and Germany also responded positively. Even Russia wanted to get a piece of the pie and sent the two cruisers currently temporarily moored in Jinlan Bay to enter the Yangtze River waterway together to ensure the southeast!

According to the prediction, when all the [***] ships enter, the number of warships gathered on the Yangtze River may reach as many as 20!

Quickly took down Yanjing, and the first step of lightning to overthrow the Manchu Qing regime was perfect. With the help of powerful force and new airship cars, it was guaranteed to end the war quickly, but the sequelae finally came out!

Southeast mutual protection, this strategy proposed by Sheng Huaixuan and Li Hongzhang, whether in history or reality, has made Li Mo extremely angry, because this stupid agreement is equivalent to opening the curtain of local autonomy and pulling the country into the turmoil of warlords!

In the past, it was said that Yanjing Prime Minister's Yamen had become the location of the new policy axe. The quick steps in and out showed the current tension. After overnight discussion, Li Enfu, who had just received a large amount of cash, solemnly agreed for the first time to expand the army's eleven infantry regiments!

After receiving the financial guarantee, the general staff immediately took out the expansion plan overnight, and formed six regiments of the 30,000 Beiyang New Army, which are currently being screened and voluntarily left in Tianjin. At the same time, the current two reserve regiments in Northeast China will be added to it. The remaining three regiments will recruit Chinese children in Luzon and Northeast China!

According to the plan, five of the eleven regiments will be directly integrated into the current five main divisions, so that the main division can complete the expected four regiment system. At the same time, the remaining six regiments will be organized into two divisions, namely the sixth and seventh infantry divisions.

However, considering that the Beiyang New Army has not been trained and has not reached the political standards, three of them will immediately go to Luzon under the leadership of the three new commanders, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen, who have promised to be loyal, and will be trained and adapted there. At the same time, Liu Henghe, who is stationed in Luzon, is the fifth. The teacher will go north immediately!

The remaining three Beiyang regiments will also be shipped to Ryukyu, where they will receive three months of training and political education.

Luzon and Ryukyu are both isolated islands and have a navy, so Li Mo is not afraid that they will rebel after going out, and the northward journey of the Fifth Division will greatly enhance the current combat effectiveness in the north. If he is not worried that Luzon will have problems after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he may have transferred the Third Division.

A competition of time has finally begun. Under the order and arrangement of the General Staff and the State Council, all ships belonging to the New Deal Axe will be put into this transportation involving nearly 100,000 people and equipment. According to the arrangement of the General Staff, the vanguard of the Fifth Division will arrive within half a month at the latest!

However, this does not mean that the general counsellor will take a defensive against the current situation. According to Chen Ping's suggestion, two days after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Third Regiment of the Marine Corps stationed in Lushun will immediately land in Weihai and Yantai under the protection of the navy to contain the Shandong Songwu Army from giving them a chance to go north. At the same time, it is currently in Yan. The six divisions in Beijing and the two divisions in Tianjin, except for the three regiments of the second division, which will remain as the general reserve team, the rest of the troops, including the two cavalry regiments, will immediately use the regiment as combat units after the founding ceremony two days later, and march to Jinan, Taiyuan and Kaifeng at the same time.

The battle plan began to be continuously calculated on the sand table of the general ginseng. This time, Li Mo has ordered his determination to advance to the north of the Yangtze River in any case within a year. Since you want to play Southeast Mutual Insurance, then the young master will teach you a good lesson about arm as a car! ——

On October 1, 1898, at about 8 a.m.

The Temple of Heaven, a place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties sacrificed to heaven, is now surrounded by soldiers in new military uniforms and wearing Xinhua armbands. Even the horses of the cavalry division have been washed clean. They have stagnated their waist bones one by one, with serious expressions, but their eyes are shining with excitement, waiting for the arrival of the new era. !

And behind them, there were a large number of invited former Manchu officials, gentry, people and representatives of various countries in Yanjing, crowded with every inch of land around the Temple of Heaven!

When the sun gradually rose, the young man who led them finally walked to the Temple of Heaven, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe improved by Hanfu, surrounded by countless officials and generals.

"This morning, when I put on this dress and looked in the mirror, I almost laughed myself."

Li Mo's opening remarks to the characteristic loudspeaker made tens of thousands of soldiers couldn't help but smile. Even Li Enfu, Tang Shaoyi and others behind him couldn't help shaking their heads and smiled bitterly. When Master Li became emperor, he still had this temper, and his words were amazing!

"I want to take it off, but I can't!"

Li Mo's voice suddenly became loud!

"Because today I'm going to tell the whole world in this way that we're back!"

"Please remember, we are back, and our Chinese nation is back!"

"We are wandering overseas! We used to be homeless wanderers. We can only watch the vast sky of China become a hunting ground, become a plaything trampled by the masters of the Qing Dynasty at will, and see the pride and civilization of the towering China for thousands of years, and be trampled on! Being **! Looking at the brothers in China, the sisters have no clothes to wear and are homeless!"

"We are the descendants of China, and we have thousands of years of brilliance! We once looked up and looked down at the whole world. We once proudly patted our chests and proudly told everyone that we are Chinese and Chinese!"

"But now, you, each of you, open your eyes and see that your brothers, your sisters, your compatriots and even your women are being bullied by others!" Li Mo's eyes were slightly red. He had already thrown the original manuscript out of the sky and devoted himself to this new declaration!

"Now, our homes are full of opium and plunder. They are dragging our Chinese nation into the abyss little by little!"

"So we came back, in the most critical time!"

"Today we want to tell the world that the Chinese people with pride, confidence and smiles are back!"

"But to this day, some people still don't want to see us come back! They are buying cannons, they are training soldiers, and they want to continue to drag this country into the abyss!"

"They call us overseas anniper, and they call you soldiers lackeys and anti-thieves! They still don't want to open their eyes. They don't want to see my Chinese nation rise again!"

"There are still remnants in their minds! They tried to hang us in sprey! They want to enslave our literate children who have just entered the school, who have gone into the factory and don't have to worry about food and clothing!"

"I won't promise, never!"

"Today, I'm here, swearing to heaven and earth, to you."

"I, Li Mo! I swear with my life and blood that from now on, I will defend this country wholeheartedly and defend every Chinese citizen!"

"We're back!"

Li Mo opened his arms like an eagle flying in the sky. With ancient pride, he raised his head: "Please follow me, pick up your guns, carry your cannons, drive a warship, and fly an airship! Use your blood to blow away those stubborn and rotten, tell them, open their eyes, and let them see clearly, the proud China, those confident Chinese descendants!"

"It's back!!"

"We're back!"

"I'm back!"

"Long live Xinhua!"

"..."

When Li Mo finished speaking, the roar and shouting came from the mouth of every soldier. Even those people who watched the ceremony and some officials in the Qing Dynasty were shocked and involuntarily joined the shouting.

Only those representatives of various countries in Yanjing in China are all gloomy. Although Li Mo did not mention the words of the great powers and foreigners throughout the article, everyone knows that Li Mo's spearhead pointed at those conservative and stubborns in the south without mercy!

On October 1, 1898, after making this impassioned oath of "We are back" in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and ceremonial spectators in the Temple of Heaven, Li Mo was sworn in the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City at 11 a.m.

Detate the country number: Xinhua.

At the same time, the first constitution was promulgated, declaring that the country would adopt a constitutional system.

After the enlisting ceremony, the first Prime Minister Li Enfu announced the formation of the cabinet in public and submitted the list of cabinet formation to the new emperor. Li Mo immediately approved the cabinet list.

Prime Minister Li Enfu, Minister of National Defense and Home Affairs Yan Fu, Minister of Foreign Affairs Tang Shaoyi, Minister of Finance Liang Dunyan, Minister of Industry and Commerce Huang Zichen, Minister of Health Lin Lianhui, Minister of Agriculture and Water Resources Liao Wentao Judicial and Chief Reader Tan Sitong, Minister of Transportation Minister Zhan Tianyou, Minister of Science and Technology Chang Lin, Minister of Development and Security Tang Xiao, Wait for more than 20 cabinet members.

At the same time, the four pillars of the military, Chen Ping, Chief of General Staff, Long Guozhang, Commander of the Navy, Zhao Long, Commander of the Army, and Xue Muhua, Commander of the Air Force, also swore allegiance. At the same time, according to Li Mo's suggestion, Chen Ping officially issued a military order and renamed the three armies to the Royal Army of Xinhua, the Royal Navy of Xinhua, and Xinhua respectively. Royal Air Force.

On October 2, the day after the accession to the throne and the establishment of Xinhua, Li Mo ordered the whole country in the name of the new emperor, demanding that all Chinese daughters immediately lay down their weapons and return to Xinhua's embrace to build a new Chinese homeland.

The message was sent out, and the world was shocked! ......
