It's too late, he has no way out, and after glancing at the lieutenant again, Qingxiang took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"Lead the soldiers to surrender." Suddenly, Qingxiang said to the lieutenant general standing beside him.

Surrendered, the adjutant general obviously did not understand what Qingxiang meant, and was about to ask, when he saw that Qingxiang had already walked to the house on the top of the mountain.

What does this mean, seeing Qingxiang walking over, the deputy general touched his head and watched him enter the room with a puzzled expression.

Syllable........ A crisp gunshot rang out, and when he heard this sound, the adjutant general's face turned pale, and then he hurriedly ran up, and he saw that Qingxiang had fallen to the ground, and a bullet hole had appeared on his forehead.

This girl committed suicide, what the hell, give the mess to Lao Tzu, it's really too much, thinking of this, the deputy general can't wait to give Qingxiang two feet.

"My lord, what now?" The few generals who came in saw the corpses on the ground, and now, of all the ranks, only the deputy general was the highest, and he could only ask him.

"Surrender, we won't fight."

Well, hearing this, several generals breathed a sigh of relief, they were waiting for this sentence, and they could no longer fight with the Liaodong Army.

"They surrendered." At the foot of the mountain, Wang Dehua saw the white flag on the top of the mountain and said to Duan Qirui beside him.

Duan Qirui also saw it, nodded slightly, Duan Qirui let out a long breath and said to Wang Dehua: "Yes, it has been almost three months since we set off from Hubei to today, and we have finally wiped out the largest force in the southwest." ”

Well, Wang Dehua, who heard this, was deeply touched. For three months, I spent all my time receiving and exterminating, and now, everything has calmed down.

"To generate electricity to Beijing, Loushanguan has been taken. We've completed our mission and are requesting instructions on what to do next. Duan Qirui said slowly.

"Loushan Pass has been taken." In the Renshou Palace, Liu Jun picked up the telegram in his hand and said to Zheng Yiqian and Zhong Lin in front of him.

The two looked at Liu Jun for a moment, and then nodded, Zheng Yiqian said: "Yes, Loushan Pass has been taken, which means that we have been unified at present." ”

Yes, it is indeed unified, from the beginning of the conflict between himself and the imperial court, it has been ten years now, ten years, everything he has done is developing for this goal. Now, this thing has finally come to fruition.

To celebrate, celebrate well, Liu Jun, who thought of this, looked at Zhong Lin and said, "Don't go back tonight, just eat here,"

Okay, hearing this, Zhong Lin nodded.

At night, in the Summer Palace, Liu Jun's residence, more than a dozen dishes have been placed on the table. Liu Jun personally opened the wine, and then poured it for Zhong Lin and the others.

"Here, cheers for us to achieve a goal." Liu Jun, who picked up the drink, said.

Well, Wu Datong, Zheng Yiqian, Ding Ruchang, Zhong Lin and others present immediately picked up their wine glasses, and then drank all the wine in the glasses.

"Head. It's been ten years, and I never dreamed that we would be where we are today. Zhong Lin, who finished drinking, smiled and said.

Well, that's true, no one who was present at the time knew that in ten years, he could achieve such great success, not to mention Zhong Lin, even Liu Jun, didn't know.

When it was the first time he fell out with the imperial court, Liu Jun just hoped to occupy the Northeast, but now.

"Drink less, we'll go to Xi'an in two days." After thinking about it, Liu Jun saw Zhong Lin and began to pick up the wine bottle again, and reminded.

Oh. Zhong Lin knew that he still had something to do, so he nodded and put the wine bottle down.

Zheng Yiqian doesn't like to drink, after a drink, Zheng Yiqian looked at Liu Jun in front of her, and then said: "The battle of Loushanguan has ended, so are we starting to prepare for the conversion of troops in the southwest." ”

Well, this matter should be on the agenda, and sooner rather than later. Just tonight, this matter was settled, thinking of this, Liu Jun motioned for everyone to come to the study, after all, he was in the study. There is a map of the southwest.

After coming to the study, Liu Jun picked up the command pole placed next to him, and then said: "You see, now, Zhan Tianyou has begun to lay the railway from Baoji to Chengdu, but you also know that these personnel who lay the railway are all recruited temporarily, and there are not many people, and they can't continue to work, so I want to let the Fifth Corps go to assist Zhan Tianyou first." ”

This matter was discussed with Zheng Yiqian and others two days ago, so today, it was just brought up.

Seeing everyone nodding, Liu Jun said again: "Subsequently, the Eighth Corps began to lay the railway from Chongqing to Zunyi and then to Guiyang, while the Feng Guozhang Corps in Yunnan assisted the German company to lay the railway from Kunming to Guiyang, while the army in Guangxi, assisted France, laid the railway from Guangxi to Kunming. ”

The southwest railway, two months ago, that is, on the tenth day after the surrender of the Chengdu imperial court, has been tendered for the construction of the entire railway, in general, this year's finance, with not a penny, even the spare 100 million taels of silver, have been pulled out of 50 million, for the railway from Baoji to Chengdu.

"Head, there is a problem here, if we start construction in full, where do we get so many rails, according to intelligence, if we start construction in full, the rails still need 10 million tons."

Hearing this, Liu Jun frowned, and looked at his finance minister, who was his father-in-law: "How much does it cost for us to buy these materials." ”

The old man is very clear about these aspects. After looking down and thinking for a while, the old man looked at Liu Jun in front of him, and then said: "We need to spare some funds, if we calculate it, we need 300 million funds." ”

Three hundred million, where to find it yourself. This is not to embarrass himself, for the first time, Liu Jun feels that money is not enough.

"Head, why don't we increase taxes by a certain amount, and after this year, we will be able to get better." Zhong Lin, who was on the side, thought for a while and said.

Just kidding, this is impossible in terms of taxation, no matter how difficult it is, it will not increase the people's taxes, which is absolutely impossible for me to violate the purpose of doing things for the people in the first place.

Moreover, although the old man did not say the meaning of the three hundred million, Liu Jun also knew that the three hundred million was the least. At the very least, I have to prepare 400 million yuan to be able to recover.

"No, don't mention the tax increase, you go back first, I'll think about it, and when I think about it, I'll inform you." (To be continued.) )
