Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"Then let him continue to sleep, just take me to his room."

The butler nodded and led Fang Huai all the way into the inner house.

This is a very simple bedroom, except for a bed and an Eight Immortals table, there is only a pair of couplets hanging on the wall: "I don't have half an acre, and I worry about the world; I can read thousands of volumes, and I am a friend of the ancients."

Not far away, the gray-haired Zuo Zongtang was fast asleep with his eyes closed.

He dreamed of Lin Zexu, who was also his teacher and friend.He retired to the countryside by himself, but was invited to meet him by name.That night, under the excitement, I actually stepped on the air and fell into the water, and met this generation of famous officials in a ruined attire...

When Xinjiang was occupied, Li Hongzhang said that there are thousands of miles of barren land, it is better to abandon it, but he does not know that the two roads north and south of Tianshan Mountain are rich in grain, melons and fruits, cattle and sheep are everywhere, and herds of horses.The reserves of coal, iron, gold, silver and jade are extremely rich.The so-called thousands of miles of desert is actually a pot of treasures.So [-] Huxiang children spilled blood on Tianshan Mountain.

However, in the war between China and France, some people once again said that the barriers should be abandoned in order to preserve the fertile land, and the court was full of voices of harmony.The so-called grief is greater than death. I can save this country for a while, but I can't keep him forever.At this time, a small figure finally stood up and loudly announced to the officials in the Golden Luan Hall: "China has the worry of Xiaoqiang, and all countries have nothing like fish in ponds! No more mountains and rivers, no more kings."

So the country has a backbone and a backbone.He finally waited for this moment, staying up all night, worrying about the world, China finally waited for such a monarch.

The scene after that kept changing. He seemed to have flown through the jungles of Burma again, and saw tens of thousands of soldiers marching loudly in the smoke against the cannonballs spewing from the fort after the Kipchak pass.The positions of the British army were shattered, corpses piled up like hills, and the broken flags of the British army fell down amidst the flames of war...

Zuo Zongtang woke up from his sleep, and only then did he remember that he was at home in the capital.

"Zongtang, are you awake?" Zuo Zongtang was startled a little by the voice, turned his head on the pillow with difficulty, and saw Guan Xuqing standing beside his bed.Watching him wake up, I don't know what kind of light is flashing in his eyes.

Zuo Zongtang hurriedly struggled to stand up, "When did your majesty come, how can I delay your majesty's time..."

Guan Xuqing quickly pressed him down: "Okay, now I will let you lie on the bed and not get up."

"Minister..." Although Zuo Zongtang was unconventional by nature, he firmly adhered to the principle of monarch and minister, but at this moment he was really too weak, so he followed Guan Xuqing's hand and half leaned on the bed. "I'm ill, and my majesty's grand plans have been delayed. It's my fault!"

Guan Xuqing smiled slightly, pointed to the couplet on the wall and said, "Did you write this couplet?"

Zuo Zongtang glanced at it and said, "That was written when I got married at the age of 23, and it was just a self-deprecating one."

Guan Xuqing smiled lightly and said: "Who are working for the country, those people are the moths of the country, I feel like a mirror in my heart. What you have to do now is to recuperate in peace of mind, don't worry about other things. I still need Zongtang Assistant!"

Zuo Zongtang saw that Guan Xuqing's face was not good-looking, and encouraged him: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much. I know the old minister's health. I am afraid that the old minister will not be able to assist the emperor to achieve eternal hegemony. I heard that the emperor reformed the military system, and the army was paid according to rank. It can increase the competitiveness of the troops and improve the combat capabilities of the troops together. Second, it can also save military expenses, and the troops with poor combat effectiveness can even be abolished. The minister thinks it is quite appropriate! In addition, the emperor can first choose what he can do. As the saying goes, "One penny a day, one thousand pennies a thousand days, a rope saws a tree broken, and a drop of water wears a stone through it", as long as the emperor does not lose his will to work hard, he will eventually achieve great things."

Guan Xuqing nodded with tears in his eyes.

Competition East Asia Chapter 1 Awarding Ceremony (At the end of the month, let’s spend some flowers)

After more than a month of reforming the military system, Guan Xuqing handpicked the generals of the four military regions.The Northeast Military Region has Dong Liang as the General, the Southeast Military Region has Lu Yiwei as the General, the Southwest Military Region has Liu Mingchuan as the General, and the Northwest Military Region has Nie Shicheng as the General.

These four were all veterans when the new army was formed, and they were also the people Guan Xuqing relied on and trusted the most.And the qualifications are relatively old, and no one raised objections after the announcement.These four also became the first batch of generals after the Qing Army implemented the military rank system.

And Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Prince Chun, and Peng Yulin awarded the marshals, among which Zuo Zongtang and Peng Yulin needless to say, the two heads of the Ministry of War.He has a high prestige in the Qing army.Li Hongzhang and Prince Chun were just nominal marshals, without military power.But because they have all led soldiers, among them Li Hongzhang's military power was deprived by Guan Xuqing after he took office, so they were also awarded marshals.

In addition, Feng Xianghua, Wang Feng, Fang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xun, Cao Kun, Lu Rongting, Xu Shichang, Duan Zhigui, Zhao Bingjun, and former Qing Army officers and officers Wu Ping, Wu Guang, Chen Heng, Wan who came back from Germany Tianjie, Shen Danyang, Pan Dongmin, and Feng Zicai were all conferred as Admirals, while Deng Shichang and Yan Fu were conferred as Admirals.

In addition, there are 50 lieutenant generals and 175 major generals, all of whom are former officers of the standard command level of the Qing Army and officers above the command ranks of the main ships of the Qing Navy.

The whole conferring ceremony was grand and solemn. As early as after the victory of the Sino-French War, Guan Xuqing said in the Old Summer Palace when he personally put on the imperial badges for several generals who had won military exploits: the honor of soldiers is above all else.

At this time, the hearts on their shoulders are their highest honor as soldiers.

In Guan Xuqing's view, the implementation of the military rank system in the army is convenient for all armies to distinguish between superiors and subordinates in joint operations, and to deploy in a unified manner.Otherwise, if several divisions meet together, they will all be division commanders, and no one will buy into the other's account, and it will be over if they fight by themselves.

In addition, in the two battles between China, France and China and Britain.It is not difficult to see the important role the military rank system plays in military combat. For example, the French army launched an attack on Taiwan after the Keelung landing, which was hit head-on by Sun Kaihua.After the French army's organizational system was completely disrupted, it was still able to organize a complete attack and retreat in an organized and coordinated manner.This is due to the military rank system, because most soldiers will lose their backbone after their immediate commander is killed in battle.The so-called military defeat is like this, but with the military rank system, you can see the military rank of this person from the clothing, as long as it is higher than yourself, you must obey.For example, all the soldiers under a captain and company commander died, and saw many soldiers from other companies retreating in front.He can re-command these soldiers to organize a new round of attack or organize to block the enemy's attack.It is also easy for soldiers to find new backbones, so with the military rank system, even if the troop system is disrupted, they can reorganize their forces in a short time and go into battle.

The military rank system can also create an atmosphere of unity and friendship in a peaceful environment. It gives people an intuitive sense of respect and obedience to their superiors.This is the basic quality that any soldier should possess-obedience to orders.

During the transformation of the army from tactical to strategic, the military rank system is almost a mixture of tactics and strategy, which is conducive to the modernization of the army, although at that time, including many generals who returned from Germany, they could not understand the benefits of the military rank system.But Guan Xuqing has overbearingly implemented a military rank system for this reformed army.

Fortunately, the current Qing Army has also seen troops on the market. In just two years, it has fought against the number one and second countries in the world. It knows that foreigners have implemented the military rank system. How many benefits it brings to oneself, but foreigners have it, and our Qing Dynasty also has it. In such a mood, everyone enthusiastically accepted this new thing.

Guan Xuqing was the first batch of marshals and generals in the Qing Dynasty to personally confer titles and hang badges.It's a pity that Zuo Zongtang, who was seriously ill, could only accept the congratulations of his military rank and subordinates on his bed.

Guan Xuqing looked at the generals with badges and general stars on their chests and shoulders and said: "High-quality soldiers are the most important decisive factor in the military power of the Qing Dynasty. No matter how good a man is, it is useless to give him even the best weapons and equipment. You are the wealth of the Qing Dynasty and the future of the Qing Dynasty. I still say that, the honor of a soldier is above everything else."

After a round of warm applause, Guan Xuqing went on to say: "Nowadays, Britain, France, Russia and even Japan are all eyeing our Qing Dynasty. Facing such a terrible situation and challenges, if we are content with the status quo, stick to the old system, and don't think about reform, the end It can only be abandoned by the world. Only vigorous reform and innovation can provide a strong impetus for the construction of our Qing army. This is a very urgent and important task entrusted to us by the times. Could it be that we have to wait until the foreign devils hit the door, Did you only think of reform, did you think of progress?"

Everyone kept silent, deeply reflecting on the fact that the Qing Dynasty has gradually become stronger in the past few years. Isn't it just continuous reforms and continuous learning from foreigners?

After the conferring ceremony was over, the exercises among the various divisions started in a hurry.In order to compete for the number one to ten divisions, which symbolized the main ace division, all the troops used their full strength without reservation.

After a month of fierce contests, finally the troops led by Luo Ming, Feng Zicai, Wu Ping, Shen Danyang, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xun, Lu Rongting, Xu Shichang, and Duan Zhigui won the honors of the Qing Army respectively. Numbers from one to ten divisions.Enjoying a higher military salary than other divisions, the important thing is that the number reported is louder than others. After all, the first to tenth divisions represent the most elite ace main divisions of the Qing Army.

If history has not changed, the Sino-Japanese War will start soon.At this time, the war concerning the fate of the two countries was approaching, and Guan Xuqing was even more nervous about this war than the original Sino-French war. After all, this nation has been bullied by the Japanese too much in history.This history must not be allowed to repeat itself in this space.

In order to be able to defeat Japan, Guan Xuqing was not even willing to intervene in Thailand's disputes, just hoping to recharge his energy and store energy to defeat Japan in one fell swoop, and to prevent the Japanese from recovering within 100 years.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and Guan Xuqing will never show mercy to the Japanese.After the reform of the military system, Guan Xuqing was ready to take action against North Korea. This would undoubtedly greatly stimulate the Japanese and directly provoke the famous Sino-Japanese War in history.These include a land war in Korea and two naval battles in the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea.

However, history has been rewritten many times by Guan Xuqing, and it is really unpredictable how this war will develop.However, judging from the current comparison of the military capabilities of the two countries, the Qing Dynasty still seems to have a certain advantage.If we talk about disadvantages, maybe Japan's "Chrysanthemum" agency has much better intelligence than Daqing, but these are not important anymore, because Zhao Bingjun is back, and this demon fox of Qing Dynasty will form a most reliable team for Daqing after he comes back. The intelligence network, so the only disadvantage to Japan no longer exists.

Thinking of this, Guan Xuqing took a deep breath, it seems that he can sleep peacefully for a few days...

Xiaoguan wants to rush down the flower list, I hope everyone can help a lot and drop some flowers.Thanks

Competing in East Asia Chapter 1: The Chaos of Korea (Small the flowers!!)

In a military camp on Jeju Island, former Dongliang Department Fan Tianhao marked Liu Sanbattalion Commander Liu San, who has now become the 29th Brigade of the 87th Division of the Qing Dynasty stationed in North Korea after the reform of the military system.Brigadier Liu San was drinking with some adjutants.

"Brigade Commander, when do you think the imperial court will transfer us back? This is a place where nothing shit happens!" Jiang Fei, who was a young scholar by Liu San's side at the time, is now a colonel and deputy brigade commander.

"What do you have to complain about?" Liu San put a piece of meat into his mouth and continued: "A young scholar is now a deputy brigade commander. I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I have suffered more injuries than you think in hundreds of battles." There are many words, and now he is a brigade commander."

"That's brigade commander, you didn't have a good time. Do you still remember the Li Wei who came to North Korea with us? At that time, you were a battalion commander like you, brigade commander, right? He participated in the Sino-Vietnamese war a few years ago, and when he came back, he was promoted. Yes. Now he is a serious major general and division commander, and he is in the Southwest Military Region!"

"This kid has accumulated virtues from his ancestors, and he has done everything good. When he went to North Korea, he didn't fight tough battles with the French devils. He went to fight the Vietnamese soldiers. The old woman eats persimmons and picks soft ones. I regret it now. Ah, if it wasn't for competing to come to this ghostly place to fight, I wouldn't have missed the Vietnam and Burma wars." Liu San said while drinking.

"Report to the brigade commander, Donghak Party's peasant rebel army has occupied Seoul. The king of Joseon asked us for help, but the envoy is outside the tent." A soldier rushed into the tent.

"What the hell? You come to me for all this shit? In a country, you have to rely on others to help suppress even a peasant uprising? Why don't you just let him give up the throne to someone else?" Liu San cursed, but But he stood up and walked outside the tent.

"The general of the Celestial Dynasty is here, and I am honored by the envoy." A North Korean envoy bowed deeply to Liu San.

"What's going on?" Liu San asked with a straight face.

"The servant was ordered by the king to ask the general for help. The Dongxue Party rebels have already entered Seoul, and the king asked the heavenly court to send troops to suppress it."

"The military order I received is to guard Jeju Island, and I don't care about the rest. If your country is really in trouble, you can ask the emperor of Qing Dynasty for help. As long as the Ministry of War gives this general an order, I will clear up the bandit chaos for you within three days."

"General help, Seoul is in chaos, and I was the only one who rushed out. This time, the Donghak Party rebels seem to have received the secret help of Japan, and they were able to break into Seoul all the way. Please report to the general." The North Korean envoy fell to his knees. In front of Liu San.

Liu Sanlue thought for a while, and said: "Okay, the envoy has worked hard all the way, let's go down and rest first. This general will send a telegram to the Ministry of War, and I will inform you when there is news."

In the Forbidden City, Guan Xuqing is summoning Zhao Bingjun to discuss how to set up the secret intelligence network of the Qing Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, I'm different from Crazy Wang. His special forces can be selected from the army. However, my intelligence personnel can't be selected from the army!" Zhao Bingjun said.
