Li Zhaoqing entered the study, bowed down to the second brother without saying a word, and his face was full of calmness."
Sixth, do you have anything you want to say to the second brother" Li Hongzhang's face was sallow, and there was something wrong with it.At less than fifty years old, he looked like an old man by candlelight."
Second brother, you know everything" Li Zhaoqing asked lightly, obviously already knowing what Li Hongzhang wanted to ask him.Looking at Li Hongzhang's sad face, he didn't feel a faint pain in his heart."
Sixth, I've made many guesses before.But I didn't think about it, that fine work turned out to be my Li Hongzhang's own brother, what the hell is this for" Li Hongzhang's eyebrows were locked together, the expression on his face was not annoyed, but a kind of bitter deep sadness, and his eyes were full of muddy tears."
Second brother, good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose the lord to serve, and the younger brother doesn't want you to go further and further on the wrong road.What you said is not right, all the confidential information of the Huaxing Army has been sent by the younger brother.The second brother wants to kill and scrape, and the younger brother has no complaints" Li Zhaoqing puffed and knelt down heavily for Li Hongzhang, the state has national laws, and the family has family rules.He has done so many things that damage the Huai army, Li Hongzhang just cut him, and he will not complain at all."
What benefits did Qiao Zhiqing give you, so that you are so willing to work for him" Li Hongzhang only stared at the sixth brother with his eyes like a torch, wanting to hear why this younger brother treated him like this."
Second brother, Qiao Zhiqing didn't promise any benefits, all of this was done willingly by the younger brother.The second brother has not been back to the mainland in recent years, and the younger brother has returned.We have only been away from the mainland for more than three years, and the second brother doesn't know what kind of changes have been experienced there, which can be described as earth-shaking.Five-storey buildings have risen from the ground, railroads have whizzed through the fields, and factories are working at full capacity to produce goods.This is the China of my brother's dream, in a country where everyone is no longer a servant and no longer enslaved by others.The Manchu Qing Dynasty has been in charge of China's national fortunes for more than 200 years, but it has only brought backwardness and ignorance.Even if the younger brother is broken, seeing that China has become what it is now, the younger brother can also smile with satisfaction. ”Li Zhaoqing talked eloquently, with a smile on his face, and his expression was so resolute, obviously he admired Qiao Zhiqing's policy."
What a smile Jiuquan, you are forcing your second brother and brother to kill each other and be scolded by the world.If I really do it to you, do you think the second brother can laugh at Jiuquan Do you think the spirit of the ancestors in the sky will forgive the second brother for what he did" Li Hongzhang was angry from his heart, and couldn't help but cover his mouth with a handkerchief and cough dryly."
Second brother, you just listen to your brother's advice, don't be foolish and loyal to the gray and corrupt Qing Dynasty.Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and it is a matter of time before the Huaxing Army takes the world, why should we bother to accompany the funeral of a rotten regime" Li Zhaoqing kowtowed to Li Hongzhang heavily, and persuaded the second brother with tears in his eyes, and blood was already flowing from his forehead."
Sixth, the second brother grew up reading the way of Confucius and Mencius.No matter how the Qing Dynasty treated the second brother, the second brother would share the worries of the monarch.Taiwan will be handed over to you in the future, and the brothers of Huaijun will also be handed over to you.The second brother is old, and he doesn't want to change his door to serve others.In this life, I was born in the Qing Dynasty, and if I die, I will be a ghost of the Qing Dynasty.Arsenic has been put in the tea that the second brother drank just now.When he arrived in the other world, the second brother told the ancestors.Our Li family is worthy of the imperial court and the Han people" Li Hongzhang said the last sentence weakly, and suddenly coughed loudly, blood spurted from his mouth, and his body fell off the chair as soon as he became weak.The most entangled thing in his life was the relationship between the Manchus and the Han, and loyalty to the Qing court meant betraying the ancestors of the Han people.To be loyal to the national righteousness means to betray the Manchu monarch.This feeling made him exhausted, like a fish bone stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it.Now he can finally stop worrying about this problem, and his whole body has become relaxed."
Second brother, why are you doing this" Li Zhaoqing hurriedly got up and supported Li Hongzhang's body, and shouted outside the door, "Come on, please ask the military doctor to come over, come to find the military doctor" "No need, just let the second brother leave happily."
Remember the words of the second brother, you must be kind to the generals of the Huai Army, and you must let them die well" Li Hongzhang finally admonished, his body suddenly trembled violently, and his body finally collapsed."
Second brother" Li Zhaoqing hugged Li Hongzhang's corpse and howled at Tianchang, which resounded throughout the entire Tainan Mansion.It's early autumn, and the weather on the mainland has begun to cool down.I don't know if it's due to the influence of the mainland, Tainan Mansion is depressed, and there is no trace of warmth.All the armies of the Huai Army set up a mourning hall in the army, enshrined Li Hongzhang's tablet, and held a mourning for Li Hongzhang.From the army commander to the pawn, all dressed in white linen, they knelt down to Li Hongzhang's tablet under the mourning hall.Chen Bingwen, commander of the Guangdong Military Region, and Chen Yucheng, chief of staff of the Nanjing Military Region, also personally went to the mourning hall to offer their condolences, and at the same time announced Qiao Zhiqing's views on Taiwan's handling of Taiwan."
When I heard that my teacher had passed away, the students were very sad.For the rejuvenation of China, the teacher worked hard and dedicated his life gloriously, which is really admired by people all over the world.The people of the world will always remember the contribution made by the teacher to the reunification of the two sides of the strait, and hereby set up the Martyrs' Shrine in Tainan Mansion to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed for the reunification of the two sides of the strait.In addition, with the unanimous consent of the National Assembly of the People's Republic of China, Taiwan Province is hereby established in Taiwan.The first governor was Li Zhaoqing, the sixth brother of his mentor.All units of the Huai Army have made meritorious deeds, and all regiments have been incorporated into the Huaxing Army and accepted the reorganization of the Huaxing Army.The officials of Taiwan's prefectures and counties were also appointed by Li Zhaoqing, and the generals of the Huai Army at all levels held the positions.President of the Federation of Great China, Qiao Zhiqing, made "Qiao Zhiqing know Li Zhaoqing's ability and character no better, and he should be the first to take Taiwan this time."
Let him take charge of Taiwan, Qiao Zhiqing is also relieved.In addition, the generals at all levels of the Huai Army were renamed civilian officials, and they were also deprived of their military power in disguise.The Huai Legion Yong will also be incorporated into the Huaxing Army and accept the command of the generals of the Huaxing Army.As long as the military power is grasped in a noisy manner, no matter who Taiwan is handed over, it will not be able to mess up.Qiao Zhiqing understands better than anyone what it means to have power out of the barrel of a gun.The generals at all levels of the Huai Army have been rewarded, and they have accepted it with peace of mind, without the slightest dissatisfaction.This is already the best result, if Li Hongzhang really intends to fight to the death, they may have been exterminated by the Huaxing army by now.It's just that there is one thing that everyone doesn't understand, why Qiao Zhiqing would hand over the position of governor to a little-known Li Zhaoqing.He has always been in charge of logistics in the army, and many people have not even heard of this name.Except for Qiao Zhiqing, I am afraid that this matter will always accompany Li Hongzhang to sleep underground.The Qing court soon learned of Li Hongzhang's death, but the news that the minister of the Qin mission, Ka Lin, was beheaded by Li Hongzhang did not know how it reached the Qing court.Cixi scolded angrily, and did not accept Li Hongzhang's loyalty to the Qing court at all, and announced to the world that Li Hongzhang and Huai Jun were scolded with blood.All the departments of the Huai Army were unhappy for Li Hongzhang, and they were secretly glad that they were not loyal to such a court.Otherwise, you will die for it, and you will not have a good reputation.The Han people in Kanto were also cold, and the court's successive actions against the Han people all made the Han ministers in the court feel cold.At this time, it seems to have returned to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Han people were not even as good as slaves in the Manchu court.It seems that he is regarded as a villain who has forgotten his ancestors, and he has suffered from the eyes of the Manchurians.The Huai Army was divided into two parts, which were reorganized by the Guangzhou Military Region and the Nanjing Military Region.Qiao Zhiqing gave Huaijun a generous policy, and if someone voluntarily returned to the mainland, he would not force it.If someone wants to stay in Taiwan, but doesn't want to join the army, then land will be distributed for free.For a time, the Huai army responded to the situation, with tens of thousands of people choosing to return to the mainland, and tens of thousands of people choosing to work in the Qi army.At the beginning, there were only 100,000 soldiers and horses left, and the old, weak, sick and disabled were eliminated, and then these soldiers and bravers were eliminated, and only more than 60,000 people remained.It happened to be reorganized by the Guangzhou Military Region and the Nanjing Military Region into the formation of the First Road Army.At this time, most of Taiwan had not yet been developed, so the landlord class here was still very weak."
Fight local tyrants and divide the fields."
The policy was easily promoted by Li Zhaoqing.All the landed gentry were given a certain amount of subsidies, and their land was purchased at the government's expense, which was then subleased to the peasants for cultivation.This practice is also practiced in many parts of the mainland, and different methods are adopted according to the forces of the landlords in various places.If you reason with some landlords, he will voluntarily do as you ask.If you reason with some landlords, he will train his regiment to fight against you, and these landlord classes are the key targets of the Huaxing Army.In short, six words, those who follow will live, and those who will go against will die.Qiao Zhiqing was still thinking about the six Spanish warships that disappeared from the Philippine Island, and after asking Li Zhaoqing, even Li Zhaoqing didn't know.It's a pity that now that Li Hongzhang has passed away, I'm afraid only he knows in this world.Qiao Zhiqing only had one hypothesis, these six Spanish warships either went north to Japan, or continued east to their most powerful colony, the Americas.He was not in a hurry to track down their whereabouts, because the Huaxing army would soon know the art of war in Japan.The East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet will not return to the mainland, and after a month of maintenance in Taiwan, they will soon be fully loaded with the strength of two armies each of the Guangzhou Military Region and the Nanjing Military Region to go north to Japan.Taiwan left two military regions and two large armies stationed in Taiwan, with a total number of more than 70,000 people, which was the same as the old Huai Army.The soldiers and horses attacking Japan totaled four armies, nearly 140,000.Originally, Qiao Zhiqing was not in a hurry to plan to make a move against Japan, but after the defeat of the little Meiji Emperor, he did not stick to his duty, and jumped up and down at every opportunity.If Qiao Zhiqing hadn't made a quick move this time, they would have probably united with Li Hongzhang and become enemies of New China again.Qiao Zhiqing's military purpose this time was to completely break the Japanese determination to resist and abolish the throne of Emperor Meiji.He supported Tokugawa as emperor and turned Japan into a Chinese colony
