Zhang Zhidong's patriotism is true, but there are certain political factors in it, just like when he built the Hanyang Arsenal, the purpose was not to improve himself, but to get the permission of the imperial court, so as to enter the central political group. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, Zhang Zhidong has struggled for so many years, and has not entered the central government, if it is not for the southward relocation of the imperial court, I am afraid that this position, Zhang Zhidong will not want to go up for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Li Hongzhang said that Zhang Zhidong was patriotic, Liu Jun did not object, and after taking a deep breath, Liu Jun looked at Zhang Zhidong in front of him, and then said: "The matter of signing an agreement with the imperial court, you guys will discuss it carefully." Speaking of this, Liu Jun stood up, looked at Wang Shizhen who was standing behind him, and then walked outside, Wang Shizhen knew that Liu Jun had arrangements for himself, so he followed and walked out.

Coming to the private room on the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Building, Liu Jun sat on a chair, looked at Wang Shizhen and Zheng Yiqian who followed in, and then pointed at Wang Shizhen and asked, "How many corps do you plan to send into the southwest?" ”

Liu Jun already had a plan in his heart about the matter of marching to the southwest, and the reason why he asked this today was just to see Wang Shizhen's views on the situation in the southwest.

Wang Shizhen was also not polite, and after bowing his head and thinking for a while, Wang Shizhen said: "Marshal, I plan to use three to four legions to enter the southwest. ”

Not much different from his own thoughts, Liu Jun, who heard this, nodded, and then adjusted his sitting posture and said again: "Go on." ”

Duan Qirui's corps is currently in Huaihua, Hunan, and I intend to let him enter Tongren, and then take over Kaili, Duyun, Guiyang, Anshun, Xingyi and other places, as well as the entire southern Wujiang region of Guizhou. The Guangxi Corps entered Yunnan from the northwest to receive a panoramic view of Yunnan, and I personally led two corps to divide the troops into two routes, respectively receiving southern Sichuan, southwestern Sichuan, and northern Guizhou. ”

Very good, the arrangement is very appropriate, Liu Jun is very satisfied when he hears this. Such an arrangement, then it is to use the least number of troops to take over the land in the southwest.

However, Liu Jun is not thinking about taking over, but about another problem, the southwest banditry.

"How are you going to deal with the Southwest bandits?" While nodding in agreement, Liu Jun directly asked the most direct question.

This Wang Shizhen is a good trick, when he was a brigade commander in the northeast, he was responsible for dealing with bandits in the area under his jurisdiction.

"Dashuai, just four words, grace and power." Speaking of this, Wang Shizhen said again: "The people in the southwest region are strong, most of them have gone to the mountains to become bandits because the imperial court has been too oppressive in recent years, but in essence, they are still a common people, but they have changed slightly, I plan to enter a place, immediately carry out land reform, and then divide the land." Again, the local people went up the mountain to shout, willing to go down the mountain, welcomed, unwilling, dealt with on the spot. ”

Okay, this is a good sound, what Liu Jun wants is this kind of domineering, bandits are bandits, they are not qualified to negotiate, either they will go down the mountain to be a common man, or they will die, there is absolutely no second way.

"Remember, when you go to the southwest, look for one or two large cottages first. It's dealt with, and you have to be ruthless. I can get the entire airship brigade to support you. "This place in the southwest is a key defense site for the next ten years, and I absolutely cannot tolerate any insects here, endangering the people and national defense.

Okay, if the southwest doesn't get it right this time, it is estimated that the lives of more than 100,000 people will be gone. When Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, heard this, she suddenly thought with some worry in her heart.

"Understood." Wang Shizhen doesn't have these pressures, what he has to do is to carry out Liu Jun's orders and sweep all the way. The landlord's land will be taken back and then decentralized, of course, the landlord can also leave his name without handing it over.

"Do it with peace of mind, in government affairs, the arrangements of officials from all over the country, there are old men to support you, your main task is to promote with me, and then assist the local people to confiscate the land, no matter whose it is, all will be collected."

"Yes." Baoji, headquarters, this is the second time Liu Jun has come here, he came by himself to negotiate, and now, to sign, of course, this time to sign, Liu Jun decided not to let Li Hongzhang sign the agreement, but to let Li Jingfang sign the order.

In what to say. The old man was also the middle hall of the imperial court back then, a big man, if he was asked to sign an agreement at this time, he would have the meaning of betraying the lord and seeking glory, which would deduct dirty water for Li Hongzhang, Liu Jun couldn't do it, and he wouldn't do it, of course, in terms of the imperial court, Liu Jun didn't care, whoever signed it was the same, after all, the imperial court just abdicated and handed over the management rights of the entire southwest. But their rights in the palace have not been changed in any way. ，

"Head, the imperial court called, and they announced their abdication fifteen days later." Zhong Lin, who walked in from outside, handed the telegram in his hand to Liu Jun.

Fifteen days, that is, August 14th, the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, it happened that they abdicated, the country was reunified, and there was a Mid-Autumn Festival. Thinking of this, Liu Jun smiled, and then said: "Yes, they can handle it as they want, but there is one thing, I can't wait for the reception, go and let Li Jingfang discuss it with them, and deal with it after fifteen days of abdication, but the reception will start from now on." ”

"Isn't it too rushed?" Hearing this, Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, stepped forward and asked.

In a hurry, not at all, his abdication is fifteen days, and after fifteen days, if the situation is good, his receiving forces will be able to arrive in Chengdu, and then complete the handover.

"It's not rushed, it's just right." Liu Jun, who waved his hand, motioned to Zhong Lin to send a telegram, and after Zhong Lin left, Liu Jun looked at the = Zheng Yiqian in front of him, and then said: "Send a telegram to Wang Shizhen, the imperial army, all received and reorganized, their 150,000 people are all good soldiers, but they have not been perfectly trained." ”

"Okay, I'll send a telegram later." Zheng Yiqian laughed and began to sort out the documents.

Hey, Lao Tzu has worked hard for more than ten years, and finally pulled this Huaxia, who has been passively beaten, on the right track, hearing this, Liu Jun thought of a sigh of relief in his heart, but he did not relax, this is just a beginning, he is waiting, the internal contradictions in the area are resolved, and his eyes will begin to drift to other places, especially in South Asia, which is a very arrogant and unstable area in later generations, he must deal with it, so that he will not dare to come out again for at least five hundred years.

It also makes the entire Huaxia surrounding area become its own peripheral barrier, and if you want to fight, you will fight the periphery first, and the rest will be talked about when you come over. He didn't believe that his plan to defend himself against the enemy couldn't stop them for a while and give him a chance to defend himself.
