Episode 7 Sunday Morning Surprise
Episode 7: Sunday morning surprise
At 6:30 on Sunday morning, in the Forbidden City of Beijing, the diligent emperor Guangwu had already gotten up and washed up, and had practiced a set of fists and feet, relaxed his muscles and bones, breathed in his breath, and moved to the imperial study with a refreshing spirit.
The imperial kitchen has already brought breakfast into the imperial study according to the emperor's habits.
The emperors of the Qing Dynasty were very diligent and capable. Guangwu was no exception. He went to bed early and got up early every day, and his life was extremely regular. After getting up early in the morning and after exercising, he would come to the imperial study room and start the busy government affairs of the day while having breakfast.
The situation in various places has further deteriorated.
The most serious one is the Taihang Mountain Column. Nanming abides by the agreement very much. After signing the treaty, he really never airdropped the Taihang Mountains again. However, the Taihang Mountain Column seems to have become bigger and stronger in the local area, developing like a snowball. Within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, young people are constantly seeking their way to join them. Now the number of people has exceeded 30,000, and its power covers the two major mountains of Taihang and Luliang, and has become the largest armed force there except the Qing army.
The common people used to be like sheep, and they could endure it until they died after being angry. Now the Taihang Mountain Column is here, and the people in Shanxi dare to make trouble. If they make a big fuss, they can only lay a roll and go into the mountains to find the Taihang Mountain Column. In the past few months, incidents of gathering crowds to kill officials and rebel, and then collectively joining the guerrillas. Shanxi has become the most unstable province in the Qing Dynasty. The Taihang Mountain Column not only has completely self-sufficient food, but also collects taxes from dozens of counties, builds machinery stations in the mountains, issues military tickets, and prints propaganda materials... Although it is still called a "column", it has almost become a separatist regime...
In addition to Shanxi, the situation in other places is becoming increasingly unstable. The number of people fleeing south is increasing every month - although Nanming is also very abiding by the agreement and does not encourage fleeing south on the radio or flyers, and teach various experiences and techniques of fleeing south. It is already autumn, and all sections of the Yangtze River still swim and smuggle almost every day. On the defense line of the western section, people are constantly taking risks through blockade areas, shot dead, and those who are bombarded by landmines are reported. Not only that, but even more outrageously, it is still in Liaodong. Some people have begun to try to swim through the cold strait ten kilometers wide, trying to escape to the Changshan Islands controlled by the Nanming. According to the following reports, no one has succeeded in this new smuggling at present. Many people have drowned.
Emperor Guangwu threw down the memorial, rubbed his facial muscles with both hands, sighed, feeling anxious. He pinched his forehead, and as soon as he got up, he felt a headache. Although he was having dinner with Xiang Xiaoqiang in the summer resort, he arrogantly shouted, "Don't you envy me? Don't your queen envy me?" But now, when there is no one, Guangwu really envies them.
Which of the more than ten generations of Emperors of the Qing Dynasty was not a literary and military strategy, and had diligent life? The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all sorted in order. You are destined to be an emperor or not, and there is no pressure at all. The emperors of the Qing Dynasty were all "competitively" and were trained in many years of battle for the throne. All emperors had political skills and ambitions. "There is no tyrant emperor in the Qing Dynasty" was not in vain.
On the other hand, for hundreds of years, those emperors were born in the deep palace and were raised by women. One by one was a coward. Just look at Zhu Yourong, alas... Among dozens of emperors, there were only a few who had some skills, and they could count them with one hand. They were all hand-off managers, and they loved to keep the government and ate and had fun all day long in the harem... Especially in the later period, the emperor became the rubber stamp of the cabinet, and he said almost nothing except "responsible" at the imperial meeting... But even in this kind of stupid monarch in power, the total domestic economic output was several times that of the Kangxi and Qianlong periods... As for the current Southern Ming Dynasty, there is no need to compare...
Alas...three words: Why?
Guangwu picked up a stack of documents again. This is about the big exercise. Now, only the big exercise can make him feel a little relieved.
The exercise army fought all the way, showing the glory of the "Thousand Division Army" of the Qing Empire. The sound of artillery sounds and the earth shook. The Blue Army, which represents the Qing Dynasty, won victory step by step, and the Red Army, which represents the Southern Ming Dynasty, was defeated. Of course, Guangwu also knew in his heart that when the generals arranged the exercise, the specific person who lost and who won each battle was decided internally. The Blue Army would definitely win overwhelmingly in the end. In order not to appear too fake, the Red Army would also win a few small games.
This is also Guangwu's intention. Now the Qing Dynasty needs this big exercise. Political needs are far greater than military needs, so from a military perspective, this kind of exercise of covering the ears and stealing the bell is a huge waste, but from a political perspective, it will eventually have some effect.
Now, according to the arrangement, the two sides had just fought in the central Hebei Plain. The Red Army was defeated as usual and had retreated to the Baoding area. Now the vanguard of the Blue Army is catching up with each other. Soon, a larger battle is about to begin at the foot of the Taihang Mountains.
This will give the guerrillas on the Taihang Mountain a considerable deterrence. In addition, it will also make the local officials in Shanxi who are slanderous and disobedient and have a clear head, so that they can understand that the guerrillas in Taihang Mountain cannot be defeated.
...
At this time, the door reported carefully:
"Report to the Emperor, the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, and the Minister of Military Affairs, Lord Limin, asks for his visit."
Guangwu was a little surprised and looked at the clock. It was just seven o'clock. He was not summoned so early, so why did the commander-in-chief of the Army run to the palace to ask for a meeting?
"Come in."
...
Li Min staggered in, her eyes dull, staring at Guangwu straight, her face as if dead.
Suddenly, he released the animal and said sadly:
"emperor……!!!"
Five seconds later, Guangwu found out what was going on.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Limin up and down, as if he wanted to reach out to touch his forehead to see if he had any fever.
But before he could question it, he reported it outside that the two subordinates on the left and right sides of the sticking rod were asked to see him.
As soon as the left and right entered the study, their faces were ashamed and asked the emperor to forgive the death penalty...
After hearing the pain of the three people, Guangwu took it seriously. He immediately stood up and walked to the wall, turned on the radio, and tuned to the Jinling Radio Station.
On the radio, Zhu Yourong was giving a speech, and it was already the second half and was almost finished. But Guangwu was still shocked by the words in her words.
…The north settles the Central Plains…the recaptures Jiangbei…the exterminates the Qing encroachment…the unify China…the million troops of the Ming Dynasty…
At this time, the Air Force Commander-in-Chief Fuxiang also rushed in, and he kowtowed and apologized. He was so scared that he was like a sieve. He held a few pieces of telegram paper with his hands trembling...
Guangwu's eyes turned black and slowly took it over. He saw that it was all telegrams sent by air regiments from various regions to the Beijing Air Force Department. It was basically the same content: the airport at our regiment was hit by a large-scale air strike in the early morning of the morning, and the plane suffered heavy losses...
There are two more telegrams, which are actually bombed by Shandong Dongying Airport and Tangshan Airport! These two airports are heavyweight airports in the Beijing-Tianjin Defense Circle! They can be bombed, which is equivalent to bombing to the edge of their own bed!
...
Guangwu's face gradually turned red from white, and his eyes were about to spit out of fire.
He lowered his head, stared at the telegram in his hand, and suddenly threw a pile of telegrams into the face of the Air Force Commander, then lifted his legs and kicked the gang of slaves kneeling in front of him one by one, yelling with gritted teeth:
"Blast the airport!...Blast the airport!...Blast the airport!...Blast the airport!...Blast the airport!...Blast the airport!...Blast the airport!...Blast the airport!..."
Several ministers were kicked and didn't dare to say anything. When they were kicked, they quickly got up, kneeled down in a proper manner, and waited for the emperor to kick himself over. After kicking over, they quickly got up.
After kicking for a few rounds, Guangwu calmed down a little bit of anger and sat down slowly, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Finally, I finally expressed my feelings:
"Nan Ming is crazy."
Suddenly, there were crowds of scrambling to echo:
"Yes, right, crazy!"
"Nan Ming is crazy!"
"Crazy, crazy!"
"It's really crazy!"
"It's really crazy, it seems that it's not fake crazy..."
...
On the morning of the same day, the Beijing and Qing dynasties urgently established the Supreme Command of the War, and Guangwu personally served as the Supreme Commander. The country was urgently sent to the country, and all military and political units urgently canceled the holidays and returned to their respective posts. At the same time, a large number of reconnaissance planes were dispatched to fly to the southern border to reconnaise the Ming army's offensive range and invest roughly the troops to judge the scale of the attack.
In his speech, Zhu Yourong said that he wanted to "determine the Central Plains in the north and recover the entire territory." He shouted loudly, but she couldn't believe whatever the Qing Dynasty said. She still had to rely on large-scale reconnaissance.
Guangwu was particularly annoyed that the impression that Nanming gave people this time was that he had become brave and brave. He was "a dog's courage". Before the Qing Dynasty went south to fight it, it would fight it first, so he was so confident?
One morning, the telephone numbers of various departments in the temporary command department went crazy. However, most of the telephone numbers of the command headquarters in various places were not available. Several large offices of the command department were filled with deafening noises:
“Hey, hey!”
"Hey, pick me up xxx... pick me up xxx..."
"Who are you? The duty officer? Military rank? Lieutenant?!... Fuck your mother!"
"What, haven't you connected yet? Fuck it!"
“Hey, hey!”
"Hey, where are your commanders?...I don't know? Bah! It's a fucking thing..."
...
In the confidential room, a row of radio officers carried headsets and kept repeating monotonous calls:
"Xx calls xx, please reply, finish...Xx calls xx, please reply, finish..."
In addition to the explicit call sign, there is also a large number of striking sounds from the transmitter:
"Ding bee...ding bee...ding bee...ding bee...ding bee..."
However, there were few reactions. On Sunday morning, in the office buildings of the Qing garrisons in various places, too many doors that should not be locked were locked. Too many officers who should be left behind were no longer on their posts. Too many top leaders and second leaders were no longer in their own troops.
Guangwu had a gloomy face, paced around the commander's headquarters, staring at the big map on the wall, listening to the phone call like crazy behind his head, sighing in his heart:
...Nanming, Nanming, you really chose a good day to attack!
...This is something you have asked for, and I can't blame me! First block your offensive, and then mobilize the superior army to encircle and annihilate you, I will unceremoniously lead the army south, lead millions of troops to flatten the south, slaughter Nanjing, and destroy the Southern Ming regime in one fell swoop... There is no better and more realistic exercise than this!
