    On March 15, Xu Shuzheng completed the defense handover with the new Mongolian Army Commander Liao Zhen.

    A week later, just as more than 24,000 exhausted soldiers led by Xu Shuzheng braved the strong wind and the remaining snow to leave Kulun and arrived at the Yuquan Camp, the 220,000-strong army commanded by Xiao Yimin had already mobilized across the board.  The Beijing-Hankow Railway, Tianjin-Puzhou Railway and Shandong North Line are heading north quickly.

    In the early morning of March 24, twelve special trains led by Xiao Fei and Chen Lanting, led by Zeng Chaoran, passed through the Tianjin city guarded by four infantry divisions of the Beiyang Army without entering. In the presence of tens of thousands of Beiyang officers and soldiers,  Watching in amazement, the sound rumbled straight to Tangshan.

    At twelve o'clock that night, the two leading regiments of the two divisions bypassed Luanxian County, where a division of Fengjun's rear troops was stationed. At an incredible speed, they penetrated into Lulong Pass and launched a lightning-fast sneak attack in the snow at dawn.  , in just two and a half hours, they successfully defeated Xiongguan, where a brigade of more than 4,000 soldiers from the Feng Army was stationed, completely cutting off the enemy's retreat route in Luan County.

    Zhang Zuolin, who had returned to Shenyang, was shocked when he heard the news, and quickly ordered the two divisions that had returned to Jinzhou to rest and recuperate to go south urgently to reinforce the Yuguan line.

    At three o¡¯clock in the afternoon the next day, another urgent report came that caught Zhang Zuolin off guard:

    The three divisions of the Wang Jian Group Army under Xiao Yimin have crossed Gubeikou, and with the assistance of the 11th Division of the Beiyang Army's new division commander Lu Zhonglin, they quickly moved towards the Chengde line.

    Before Zhang Zuolin could come to his senses, Yan Xishan, who had been secretly communicating with him, sent an urgent message: More than 30,000 recruits from the two Nanjing troops stationed in Jiuyuan suddenly disappeared five days ago. It is very likely that they passed through the newly built railway.  Heading to the Ping-Tianjin line.

    Extremely shocked, Zhang Zuolin and the Fengjun generals immediately realized that something was wrong.  He hurriedly summoned his generals to mobilize troops, and suddenly discovered that the five divisions that had withdrawn from the Pingjin area had just returned to the Jilin and Harbin defense areas for rest and recuperation. Even if they were to assemble urgently and move south, it would take at least five days.

    On March 29, three Fengjun divisions who rushed south from Tieling and other Liaodong areas had just arrived in Jinzhou when they received the bad news of the fall of Yuguan. Fengjun panicked and quickly launched a defense on the front line of Jinzhou, only to find that it was coming as fast as  The thunderous 80,000 Southern troops suddenly stopped marching north.

    April 1st.  Two new divisions starting from Jiuyuan suddenly appeared under Chaoyang City, an important town in western Liaoning. Hundreds of mortars fired at an unsuspecting regiment and sent them fleeing.

    Since then.  Eleven elite divisions of the Southern Army, totaling 180,000 troops, all arrived at the battlefield outside the Pass and began to launch a fierce attack on Jinzhou where 90,000 troops were stationed.

    On April 5, under the fierce attack of hundreds of light and heavy artillery pieces and ten times the firepower of the Feng army.  The Feng army, which suffered heavy losses, withdrew from Jinzhou in embarrassment and crossed the Daling River. Under the appeal of the people across the country and the strong intervention of European and American powers, they had to electrify the whole country and negotiate an armistice.

    The scale, speed and intensity of this battle shocked both China and foreign countries.

    The strong combat effectiveness and advanced strategic and tactical thinking displayed by the Nanjing army not only eclipsed the Japanese army, but also made the disintegrated Beiyang Army feel lucky and desperate.

    On April 10, the governors, provincial governors and leaders of various political parties in 18 provinces across the country issued statements calling for the reorganization of central government organizations.  Reorganize the National Assembly and the three-level parliaments, and support Xiao Yimin, Minister of the Central Military and Political Affairs and the First Deputy Prime Minister of the country, to run for the presidency.

    In the afternoon of the next day, a disheartened Duan Qirui announced his resignation at his official residence in Beijing.

    On April 15, former Prime Minister Zhang Lan and more than 300 central government officials and members of Congress issued a joint statement in Nanjing.  Announced the reorganization of the National Parliament and gradually restored the normal work of various central government agencies.

    On May 1, amid cheers from all walks of life across the country, Xiao Yimin officially announced his decision to obey public opinion and step forward to reorganize the central government.

    July 1, from Sichuan, Xikang, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong, Shaanxi, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Anhui, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai  , Ningxia, Xinjiang, Suiyuan, Chahar, Rehe and other 27 provinces' military and political officials, people's representatives and representatives of the three eastern provinces.  A total of more than 3,100 people gathered in Nanjing to convene the second plenary session of the National Congress.

    On July 5, the National Congress concluded successfully. Xiao Yimin was successfully elected as President of the country and Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces with a high support rate of 93%, and announced that Nanjing would be his capital.

    In mid-to-late July and throughout August, the Nanjing government was engaged in active diplomatic mediation with the great powers, negotiating with the British government on the southern Tibetan issue and the southern Burma issue, and on Tsarist Russia's withdrawal from China after the signing of the Treaty of Nerchinsk.  The stolen land of 1.53 million square kilometers was negotiated with Red Russia, which was eager to gain recognition from all countries in the world.

    On September 10, Gu Weijun, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Government, said at a press conferenceHere is a heavyweight bomb - in accordance with the principles of national self-determination established at the Paris Peace Conference, the British government and the Chinese government have reached an agreement on border issues such as Kangxi, Yunnan and Myanmar, and China will take back the southwestern region, including Tibet. South, Jiangxinpo,  There are a total of 320,000 square kilometers of land including Yerenshan, Hukang River Valley, Mengong, Lashio, Jingdong, and Nanshan. The governments of both sides have recently formally signed the "Sino-British New Nanjing Treaty", pledging to respect each other's territory and sovereignty.  The Chinese government respects the interests of all countries and will never seek expansion in the subcontinent and Southeast Asia.

    The signing of this treaty was mainly because the British government was disturbing the turbulent anti-Japanese movements in India and Myanmar. At the same time, throughout World War I and for more than a year after the war, there were always an unknown number of mysterious militants who penetrated deep into India and Myanmar.  Throughout Myanmar, manors and Hindu and Buddhist temples run by the British were looted. A large amount of gold, jewelry and cash were missing. The British strongly suspected that Xiao Yimin was behind all this, but they could not catch the painful feet.

    After entering May 2000, stimulated by China's completion of national and ethnic reunification, the pro-democracy movement in various parts of India set off a new wave of revolution. Assam, Chittagong, Ceylon, Pakistan and other places announced provocations one after another, making people eager to  The British who were fighting the rebellion were overwhelmed.

    In order to completely cut off China¡¯s claws, the British government decided to cut the knot quickly.  Sign a lightning agreement with the new Chinese government to free up its hands to solve its own internal problems.

    The signing of the "New Nanjing Treaty between China and Britain" pushed the reputation of Xiao Yimin and the government he led to a whole new level.

    Just five days later, Zhang Lan, Premier of the Government Affairs Council of the Chinese Government, personally attended a press conference and solemnly announced to the reporters that according to Lenin's "Declaration of the Government of the Soviet Federative Socialist Republic", all unequal treaties concluded between previous Russian governments and China were invalid.  , give up all the territory previously seized from China and all Russian concessions in China, and return everything that the Tsarist Russian government and the Russian capitalist class have seized from China to China permanently and free of charge." This statement was officially signed by the Nanjing government of China and Soviet Russia.  The "Sino-Soviet Treaty of Nanjing" is effective from now on.  Soviet Russia will return to China a total of 1.53 million square kilometers including the area east of Lake Baikal and Central Asia.

    Finance Minister Sun Baoqi, who also attended the meeting, said that in order to respect the inviolability of private property, the five countries of China, the United States, Britain, France, and Belgium will jointly reorganize the Soviet Union at a price of US$135 million.  The Russian government purchased the ownership and operation and management rights of the China Eastern Railway, but actually paid for the purchase of 1.53 million square kilometers.

    The reason why the Soviet Russian government signed this treaty was that the Polish army, with the support of France, launched an attack on Soviet Russia on the Western Front on April 25, 2000, occupying Kiev in late May and Oton in mid-July.  the lower reaches of the river and the North Caucasus.  Intimidating Volgograd, the two sides are still fighting fiercely in the Volga River Basin.

    When the Soviet Union went to war in Europe, Krasnov and Denikin, who were supported by Britain and the United States, armed nearly 300,000 White troops in Central Asia, Siberia and other places, and captured Yekaterinburg and Novosibirsk in July.  Siberian city.  In order to seek an international environment conducive to the Soviet government and obtain the support of external funds, the Soviet government had to repeat its old tricks, just like signing the "Brest-Litovsk Peace Treaty" with the Germans at the end of World War I and accepting the cession of millions of square kilometers of territory and  This treaty was signed with the Chinese government under the same harsh conditions of an indemnity of six billion marks.

    In the view of Soviet Russian leaders with a great-power chauvinism mentality, as long as Poland on the Western Front and internal enemies are solved.  At that time, millions of Red Army troops will be able to freely free up their hands. As long as there is civil strife in China, they can take back the lost land again just like tearing up the peace treaty with the Germans.

    When the news came out, the whole of China was in a state of excitement, and various celebrations were held in endlessly.  This is another milestone victory achieved by China in diplomacy since the Opium War in 1840. In addition to the 320,000 square kilometers of land recovered in the "New Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing", China has expanded nearly 200 square kilometers of land.  Thousands of square kilometers, this is something that the Chinese people who have been in a colonial and semi-colonial country for a long time cannot even think about.

    Xiao Yimin's reputation in China was at its peak. Many people who expected the Nanjing government to fall into civil strife fell into complete despair.

    In China, which advocates the cult of personality, almost all the media are full of praise. Although Xiao Yimin strongly opposed it, the textbook compilation committee remained unmoved and included many of Xiao Yimin's "great deeds" in the textbooks and created a variety of  Various praises for Xiao Yimin's novels, dramas, poems, songs and other artistic works directly pushed Xiao Yimin to the altar. The consequence was that no one questioned Xiao Yimin's decision from then on, which played an indispensable role in enhancing the centripetal force and cohesion of the country and the nation.  The role of substitution also laid the seeds for Xiao Yimin's fifty-year dictatorship.

      On September 22, Xiao Yimin attended the press conference in person and solemnly announced to China and foreign countries:

    Including the newly recovered areas east of the Transkhinggan Mountains, including Nerchinsk, Hailanpao, Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, Temple Street and North Sakhalin Island, as well as the entire territory of the three northeastern provinces, they will all be opened up as national economic development zones, and capital from various countries can  Free access to investments.  In the economic development zones, investors from various countries can enjoy preferential treatment in the import of equipment, raw materials, components and product exports, corporate income tax rates and exemptions, foreign exchange settlement and remittance of profits, land use, etc. At the same time, investors from major powers and  Their family members and attendants can freely enter and leave the above areas.

    Subsequently, capital from various countries entered Northeast Asia one after another, and various factories and enterprises sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. By the outbreak of World War II, the region had more than 6,000 factories and enterprises, spanning mining, metallurgy, coal, steel,  Petroleum, petrochemicals, papermaking, wood, machinery, electronics, automobiles, motorcycles, aircraft and other industrial categories have successfully radiated to the Guanhai area, just like China's reform and opening up in another time and space, driving the rapid development of China's industry.

    On the eve of Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939, China became the sixth largest economy in the world after the United States, Britain, Germany, the Soviet Union, and France. Its oil output was 27 million tons, second only to the United States and the Soviet Union, and its steel output was 18 million tons.  tons, ranking fourth in the world after the United States, Germany, and the Soviet Union. The total coal output is 697.5 million tons, ranking first in the world. The power generation capacity is 79 billion kWh, only after the United States.

    After the start of World War II, China strictly maintained its neutrality and launched trade with the Axis and Allied Powers respectively. For a time, all industries prospered, industry and agriculture achieved great development, and huge foreign exchange reserves and debts were accumulated.

    After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Xiao Yimin formally declared war on Japan on behalf of the Chinese government. However, for more than three years after that, China did not directly send troops and continued to engage in large-scale conflicts with various countries, including Japan.  trade, and dropped atomic bombs on Tokyo and Osaka on May 8 and June 23, 1945 respectively. The Emperor of Japan, who was hiding in Hokkaido, officially announced unconditional surrender on July 7, and China*  The Japanese troops recovered Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands, Jeju Island, South Sakhalin Island and the Sakhalin Islands (the Thousand Islands) in one fell swoop. The Chinese Navy then marched into Japan and North Korea and implemented military control for fifty years.

    In Southeast Asia, the anti-Japanese movement flourished after the war. With the help of the China Zhi Gong Party led by Chen Jiongming, the independent Chinese countries of Cochin and Xinzheng were established in the north and south of Annan respectively. The Siamese Chinese established Zheng Zhao in the northern region.  Kingdom, the Chinese in Kalimantan established the Lanfang Republic, and the Chinese regime in Mindanao established the Luzon State.  In addition, republics founded by Chinese such as Singapore, Coconut City, and Penang appeared one after another. By the mid-1950s, there were already 19 Chinese countries in Asia around China, large and small, and they had political and economic exchanges with China.  , opening up markets to each other has made China's influence spread across Asia and effectively promoted the spread of Chinese culture around the world.

    Of course, all this is a story for later.

    On October 9, 1920, the enlarged political meeting of the National People's Congress concluded in Nanjing. The reform plan of the National People's Army was passed, and the nationalization of the army was officially confirmed. The total strength of the National People's Army, including the army, navy and air force, was determined to be  With a population of 1.5 million, the country is divided into eight military regions: Northeast, Northwest, Southwest, Southeast, South, Central Plains, North, and Beijing-Shanghai; the navy is reorganized into four fleets: North Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea, and Yangtze River fleets.

    On the morning of October 10th, the capital Nanjing held a meeting to celebrate the victory of the Revolution of 1911 attended by 300,000 people. Xiao Yimin reviewed the honor guard of the three armed forces and the people's parade on the viewing platform in front of the former Nanjing Camp and the Presidential Palace, and delivered a speech that affected the history of China and the world.  The famous speech of "The Road to the Future - The Road Ahead Is Long" The first article is 4,200 words, and the following are free:

    Postscript!

    Thank you brothers for your strong support since this book was uploaded!

    The emergence of "Awesome" is because the emperor wanted to make up for some shortcomings in the creation of "Iron Bone". However, because the emperor did not understand the history of the early Republic of China deeply enough, after detailed verification of historical materials, it was discovered that many set plots could not be developed at all.  This has led to readers' misunderstandings of several important characters, which has caused considerable controversy.

    Generally speaking, "Arrogant" was influenced by "Iron Bone" in the early stage, and the results were still very good. It entered the premium channel gloriously. However, due to the emperor's own reasons, he failed to control the writing direction well. Here, the emperor would like to express his sincere gratitude to everyone.  Say sorry deeply!

    "Arrogant" is over, Xiao Yimin's dream will continue in "Iron Bones", however, it is estimated that "Iron Bones" will also end before the end of the year, and then the emperor will start a new book after a period of rest.

    The new book "Emperor" is going to return to urban themes. The emperor is good at breaking out in difficult situations, and the various adventures and romances that come one after another will definitely make everyone hooked!

    Thank you again brothers for your continued supportHold on, the emperor bows to you!
