Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 208 The Hanzhong Rebellion
"Caomin studied in Western countries in his early years, and he knows the truth that a rich country must first strengthen its soldiers. I have always envied those heroes who served in the battlefield and killed enemies for the country. Unfortunately, my father blocked me from applying for it many times, or the army thought I hadn't received it. The military school education just doesn't want to accept me. Today, Caomin boldly proposed that the emperor would allow me to join the Qing army and become an ordinary soldier, and I would be satisfied." Sun Yingjie said sincerely.

"Presumptuous." Sun Shixiong immediately cursed, but immediately realized what was happening, turned around and said softly to Guan Xuqing: "Your Majesty, the dog is young and ignorant, and he doesn't know how to apply what he has learned. He just wants to kill the enemy and make meritorious service on the battlefield all day long. I hope the emperor will see clearly what I have learned during the three years in the West!"

After Sun Yingjie heard this, although he didn't refute aloud, his dissatisfaction was undoubtedly expressed on his face.Guan Xuqing looked at Sun Yingjie, who was young and frivolous, but had a sincere patriotic heart, and admired him greatly in his heart.

"What have you learned in Xiyang for three years?" Guan Xuqing ignored Sun Shixiong and asked Sun Yingjie who was still kneeling on the ground.

"It's full of useless mechanical principles and aerodynamics. I have mastered these technologies since I bought the German equipment. What's more, I was not interested in it. My father forced me to learn it, and I couldn't understand its essence. Ah!" Sun Yingjie pouted.

After hearing this, Guan Xuqing couldn't help laughing and said: "It's really hard to find anywhere. It doesn't take much effort to get it. I am secretly forming an army. The nature is not clear to you for the time being, but I just need to be proficient in machinery. The person who is here will do it. In the future, you will become my eagle in the Qing Dynasty, soaring high in the sky!"

The father and son of the Sun family were all stunned after hearing this, unable to understand what kind of army the emperor was talking about.But Sun Yingjie heard the emperor meant that he had already agreed to join the army, so he hurriedly replied as if he was afraid that Guan Xuqing would regret it: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

"Get up and pack up quickly. I will send someone to escort you to the capital tomorrow!" Guan Xuqing said happily.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the dog has never received a military school education," Sun Shixiong said worriedly.

Before he finished speaking, Guan Xuqing interrupted: "What does it matter? Before the Sino-French war, how many people in my army received military school education? Didn't they beat the French devils away as usual? Besides, this It’s not a one-day or two-day process to set up a unit, you go to the capital to understand the situation first, and then you can go to the Heilongjiang Military Academy to study for a period of time.”

"Cha." Sun Shixiong had no further objection.

At this time, Sun Yingjie no longer looked like a 19-year-old boy, but more like a three-year-old urchin.He clapped his hands happily, and even began to imagine what he would look like in a real military uniform.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty," Sun Yingjie danced with his hands and feet.

Sun Shixiong, who wanted to stop his son from joining the army, gave up completely at this time. Although he was worried about his son a million times, he laughed when he saw how happy he was now.

Yes, parenting.If his child is happy, he is satisfied, and he has to walk the child's path by himself.During the period of rapid social development at that time, the generation gap between the two generations began to gradually arise.This is the development of society!Of course, with such a rapid social development, the Qing Dynasty can become stronger faster.

Although the Wright Brothers had just begun their aircraft development work in Xinjiang, let alone the formation of the Qing Air Force.But Guan Xuqing was already taking in and observing talented pilots at this time.

Fortunately, the aircraft has not been successfully developed, and there is still time for this child who has just returned from abroad to receive some military education.To put it simply, it is to brainwash this guy. Those who hold military power in their hands must guarantee [-]% loyalty to themselves. Only in this way can the power not be left behind.The great Mao in history once said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun!

However, in Hanzhong Prefecture, Shaanxi Province, an ancient city thousands of miles away from Hangzhou, Changjiang Chaozong, the No. 16 Division Division of the Northwest Group Army stationed in Hanzhong Town, happens to be 35 years old this year, and it is his 35th birthday today.To become a major general at the age of 35, his official career can be said to be smooth sailing. Even Nie Shicheng, the general of the Northwest Army, was just the admiral of Zhili transferred from the general of Taiyuan Town before his fortune. Knowing the year of destiny, and at the age of 34, he had made great contributions to resisting the French with Liu Mingchuan, and then repeatedly made military achievements in the counterattack against Russia. He was promoted to major general and division commander during the reform of the military system.Frankly speaking, with his qualifications, it is not impossible to be named a marquis general.

But these days, there has never been a word of worry on his face, and his brows are deeply furrowed, which makes him, who is not considered burly, look a little sluggish, not at all like a young general who has achieved great ambitions.

Today is his birthday, and he can't be happy no matter what.On the seats sat Zhang Yuenian, who had been transferred to the Chief Envoy of Shaanxi a few years ago; .It can be said that, except for Lu Tai, the governor of Shaanxi, all military and political officials in Shaanxi gathered together.

"Mr. Jiang, you have a bright future with a bright future. Come, come, I will toast you."

The person who spoke was Zhang Yuenian, who was transferred to Shaanxi Province last year, and he was extremely flattering.Before Guangxu ascended the throne, he was Cixi's confidant minister, and he was once honored as the governor of Yunnan.But after the downfall of Cixi, Guan Xuqing started preparing to fight the French in Vietnam and replaced the governor of Yunnan.But Zhang Yuenian always thought that he was Cixi's person, and he had seen the emperor's cruel and ruthless methods, so he hurriedly went home to Ding You on the grounds of his grandmother's death.After seeing the situation of the imperial court, and through the relationship of Prince Chun, he was able to pay for the Henan Salt Road, and was transferred to the Shaanxi Chief Envoy last year.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang. Yangxian County under the Hanzhong Prefecture is currently experiencing a severe drought that has not happened in a century. Most of the seedlings are withered, and the whole county is almost without crops. You must report the disaster to the imperial court quickly. Otherwise, there may be chaos after a long delay. " Jiang Chaozong said anxiously.

"Hehe, that's the reason why I waited here. Now the emperor is patrolling the south of the Yangtze River. Reporting the disaster to the court may disturb the emperor and ruin his old man's good mood. Waiting is a death penalty for me." Zhang Yuenian said calmly.

At this time, Li Yourong said: "My lord Zhang is worthy of the old minister's plan for the country. He has thought carefully. In my opinion, the most important thing now is to dispatch the army to prevent the people from rebelling. In addition, we must cover up the disaster. When the emperor returns to Beijing I will report to the court later."

"No, when will the emperor return to Beijing? Do you know? If the emperor doesn't come back for a day, I won't report it for a day? If this is the case, all the people in this county will be wiped out." Jiang Chaozong jumped up.

At this time, the magistrate of Yang County stood up and said: "Master Jiang's words are wrong. The severe drought at this time will not cause a large number of people to starve to death, but it is just a difficult point of life. As long as no one dies, we can delay it for a day. After the emperor returns to Beijing, he can report to the imperial court, so you and I are all doing a great job!"

This county magistrate named Wang Cheng was born as a Jinshi and released to the county magistrate. When he talked about the truth, he was sound, but when he ran the civil affairs, his eyes were high and his hands were low. Seeing that the victims had gathered and volunteered, they didn't know how to evacuate. Put in prison with a stick.

"I figured it out, did you come here today to ask me for military power?" Jiang Chaozong understood now.

"Haha, does the army belong to you, Mr. Jiang? Presumptuous! It belongs to the court, it belongs to the emperor. The emperor can take back your army with a word. I am serving the court and being loyal to the emperor. It is up to whoever accepts it." Do you have military power?" Zhang Yuenian said with a straight face.

"What if I don't hand it over?" Jiang Chaozong finally understood at this time, they just used the excuse of suppressing the rioters to grab their own military power, aren't they really afraid of death?Now the emperor implements a benevolent government, the world is peaceful, and the military is at its peak.Not to mention the few divisions in their hands, even if the British came to fight, they might not be able to defeat the Qing Dynasty's million lions and hundreds of thousands of tons of giant ships.

"Hehe, you are not the only division in Shaanxi." Ni Cong, the newly appointed commander of the No.30 Ninth Division, suppressed his anger.

"General Ni, don't get angry, I'll come to persuade Mr. Jiang again." Zhang Yuenian pretended to be a good person, "Mr. Jiang, we are officials in the same dynasty. If there is something difficult to discuss, I might as well tell you frankly, now Xinjiang, Qinghai Several provinces such as Gansu, Shaanxi, etc. are already in our hands, as long as our master gives an order, the northwestern half of the Qing Dynasty can be handed down."

"Master Zhang, the world is peaceful now. What do you want to do?" Jiang Chaozong threw the wine glass on the ground and said angrily.Although he vaguely felt that in the past year, there had been some inexplicable personnel and military transfers in his jurisdiction, and several of his trusted brigade commanders had been transferred away inexplicably.Even the reserve soldiers have changed several batches.

"Hmph, look at our emperor. People in the southeast region have good food and clothing. What about us in the northwest? There is famine everywhere, and the people are displaced. We are petitioning for the people, do you understand? Mr. Jiang, do you want to toast? Eat and drink as punishment." Ni Cong is also a man who has survived a hundred battles, and has a very hot temper.

"This..." Jiang Chaozong was speechless for a moment.
