When the news of the occupation of Salai City came out, Bu Lahan suddenly fainted and his hometown was taken away. He was like a bereaved dog and fell into a dilemma. And just as he was leading a large force back to rescue Salai City, he was captured.
Hou Lishao and his Peking army surrounded the Caspian Sea, and a battle ensued.
After fighting for three days, nearly 300,000 troops were torn to pieces by the steel-like torrent of the Peiping Army. More than 100,000 people were buried on the Caspian Sea. Nearly 200,000 people surrendered. Bula Khan could not bear this blow and committed suicide in the sea.
, the Mongol Empire, which had been glorious for more than a hundred years, was completely wiped out.
With the complete defeat of the Golden Horde army, King Shaharul of the Timurid Empire not only lost his allies, but also lost the courage to confront the Republic of China. He proactively ordered the army to retreat hundreds of kilometers and gave up a large area of territory east of the Caspian Sea.
, even Ma'er Khan withdrew from the old capital
No more, he went directly to Herat, the new capital located in the northern part of the Indian Peninsula, and sent a mission to Peiping, hoping to exchange territory for peace. After all, the terrifying combat power of the Peiping Army showed him that if he continued to resist, he might have to
Following in the footsteps of the Golden Horde.
The Timurid Empire took the initiative to demarcate territory and sue for peace, and peace soon returned to the northwest battlefield. The Northern Expeditionary Army occupied more than 10 million square kilometers of territory east of the Caspian Sea, the Volga River, and the Altai Mountains. The territory of the Republic of China expanded by one
More than twice that, and even extended its influence to the Black Sea region.
Once you build a seaport and build warships in the Black Sea, you can directly threaten the Byzantine capital Constantinople. Once you control the Constantinople area, you will control the Black Sea Strait leading to the Mediterranean, and the Mediterranean will also become a gateway from Peking.
Inland seas controlled by military and naval fleets.
In addition, the Black Sea is fed by the Danube River. This long river originating from Germany leads directly to the hinterland of Europa. In addition, it has many tributaries. It can be said that it covers most of Europa. As long as the Peking Army goes upstream, it can conquer the entire area.
Europe. It can be said that the Black Sea fell into the hands of the Peking Army, and the whole door of Europe was opened wide.
Because of the large increase in territorial scope, in mid-August of the ninth year of the Chinese calendar, Wan Lei successively convened meetings of the Military Commission and the Senate to discuss the increase of troops. After more than ten days of discussion, it was decided that the Peking Army would increase its troops to 900,000, including 70,000 troops from the Army.
One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand for the navy.
The 700,000-strong army will be divided into seven military regions. The first military region ranges from 80,000 to 120,000 people. Among them, the newly established Zhenxi Military Region is responsible for border defense on the Caspian Sea, Volga River, and Altai Mountains, while the Zhennan Military Region is responsible for
The border defense of the Malacca Peninsula and northern Myanmar, combined with the original five military regions of Northwest, Northeast, Central China, South China and Southwest, forms a new national defense system.
In terms of the navy, in addition to the original five fleets of the North Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea and Indian Ocean, a Black Sea Fleet has been added. Each fleet is assigned 30,000 troops and a large number of warships. Among them, the Black Sea Fleet is still being formed, and is different from the original fleet.
Different from the major fleets that are mainly battleships, the equipment of the Black Sea Fleet will be mainly new destroyers. The ships will be equipped with a large number of cannons, but only one or two newly developed naval guns.
Regardless of the fact that the ship has fewer small guns, this new type of destroyer has a more obvious advantage in speed, and the naval gun is also the latest development. It can rotate and quickly adjust the gun angle. Not only does it have a high firing rate, but the hit rate is also improved. Plus
It uses a new type of armor-piercing projectile, which can almost destroy a wooden ship with one shot. It is simply the nemesis of unarmored ships.
Comparatively speaking, the Black Sea Fleet will be the most well-equipped among the six fleets of the Navy. However, the Black Sea is far away from the Central Plains. When building a seaport, a shipyard will also be built, which will require a large amount of materials. Therefore, Wan Lei plans to build a shipyard at the original Pingxi Railway.
On this basis, a military railway will be built directly to the Black Sea to facilitate the transportation of military supplies. Once the Black Sea Fleet is completed, it will be a nightmare for the European countries.
Although the campaign to conquer the Golden Horde in the north is over, the anti-bandit war is still going on. The Zhenxi Military Region, the Northwest Military Region and the Northeastern Military Region have joined forces to carry out a dragnet-style anti-bandit operation in the east of the Caspian Sea and the Siberian region.
, a large number of scattered Mongols were annihilated or captured.
This kind of bandit suppression operation continued until the coming of winter. Although the Mongolians who fled north to the forest and snowfields temporarily escaped the disaster, they also fled south under the pressure of cold and hunger, and were finally caught.
Become the lowest form of slave labor.
With a large number of slave workers joining, the development progress of the Western Region and Xiboer area is also accelerating. In early October of the ninth year of the Chinese calendar, the Pingxi Railway was finally opened to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. At the same time, citizen representatives from the Tianshan area came to Peiping, hoping to
The original Tianshan Special Economic Zone was upgraded to Tianshan Province.
The territory of the so-called Tianshan Special Zone is not just the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, but includes a vast area from Wusizang in the south, Jiayuguan in the east, Altai Mountain in the north, and Lake Balkhash in the west. It has an area as large as four Beiping provinces.
Although this area is mainly Gobi and desert, there are vast cotton plantations in the oases. Coupled with rich mineral and oil resources, the economic level of this area is still relatively high, and most of the citizens are retired soldiers, and the public security
The quality is also good and fully meets the provincial standards.
The tenth year of Huali was the last year of Wan Lei's term. At the parliament at the beginning of the year, while Wan Lei submitted the motion to turn the Tianshan area into a province to the parliament, he also submitted a military reform plan to the Military Commission regarding the promotion of the Staff Department.
authority, as well as the issue of the reasonable deployment of soldiers and weapons in each military region.
Although the Republic of China has already nationalized its military, Wan Lei is still worried that the military regions will be in catastrophe after leaving office, so in the last year of his term, he will add some insurance to the military. The most important thing is to manage the equipment well.
In Lei's military reform plan, he advocated setting up an equipment department under the General Staff Headquarters to be responsible for formulating weapons distribution plans, and these plans must be submitted to the Military Commission for review and approval before weapons can be deployed.
Because the Peiping Army has completed the transformation from cold weapons to hot weapons, the role of weapons on the battlefield has become more prominent, and the supply of weapons has been controlled. This has stuck in the necks of various military regions. Even if some military regions have different aspirations, they dare not take it lightly.
To move in vain.
In addition to managing the supply of weapons, Wan Lei also used the power of the president to make large-scale transfers of mid-level generals from each military region on the grounds of troop adjustment and internal transfer of non-commissioned officers for further training, cutting off the power of the commanders of each major military region.
The possibility of gangs forming warlord groups.
Wan Lei made major adjustments to the Peking Army. Both the military and the government knew that he was clearing obstacles for his successors to facilitate the normal handover of presidential powers. The civilian side was even more worried because they had reason to believe that President Wan Lei would soon
A major operation may be carried out on the administrative system, and a large number of officials may be dismissed this year.
As expected by the officials, starting from March of the 10th year of the Chinese calendar, the military system was adjusted, and Wan Lei's hands were extended to administrative and judicial departments. On the fifth day of March, the former Jingzhong Guard was reorganized and upgraded to the Ministry of National Security and Intelligence
, directly affiliated with the Presidential Office, responsible for secretly investigating and collecting all intelligence on national security, so that the president can control the overall situation immediately.
As soon as the Ministry of National Security and Intelligence was established, it began to fight corruption. A large number of secret investigators were assigned to various provinces and counties to collect intelligence on the properties of officials at all levels. Once they discovered large amounts of property with unknown sources, they were handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for filing.
Investigation, for a time, the era of official life came.
Of course, Wan Lei also knows that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. When he engages in anti-corruption, he does not just crack down on corrupt officials when he sees them. He looks down on some small shrimps and only catches some typical ones. From March to May
, about fifteen officials of fourth grade or above were taken away for investigation.
This time the anti-corruption trend has swept through, and officials at all levels have become much more honest. This can be regarded as a warning to the monkeys. In fact, Wan Lei did this to make a bad face for his successor and get rid of those big pillar insects.
Leaving his successors with a relatively clear government.
The anti-corruption campaign lasted until August. Nearly a hundred officials were dismissed. Four officials were even sentenced to death for covering up their family members to commit evil in the local area. The officials were in awe. They not only took care of themselves, but also strictly controlled their families. Those officials
The three generations of acting officials have also become much better behaved.
In the last few months of Wan Lei's final term, all parties in the military and government were trembling with fear, fearing that Wan Lei would make another ruthless move. But they were overly worried. Starting from September, Wan Lei no longer punished anyone, but issued a large number of
Under the amnesty order, a large number of imprisoned officials and generals loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the Republic of China were released and granted the status of citizens of the Republic of China.
Wan Lei even issued a special presidential decree, allowing everyone who was exiled to Nanzhou (including Zhu Yunwen) to return to the Central Plains to visit relatives, and Nanzhou people over 60 years old can also apply to emigrate to their homeland to achieve the goal of returning to their roots.
willing.
As soon as these presidential orders were passed to Nanzhou, all the elderly people secretly shed tears. They had been wandering in a foreign land for nearly ten years. Who didn't want to return to their hometown, who didn't want to return to their roots after falling leaves? Only Zhu Yunwen was angry and anxious, because that damn Wan Lei was about to step down.
Even if he doesn't let him live in peace, isn't this Cheng Sheng trying to poach him and alienate the relationship between him and his subjects?
After many measures, time flew by quickly, and soon it was December of the 10th year of the Chinese calendar, when another presidential election was held. This time Wan Lei did not appear on the list of candidates as promised, and the most competitive
Tie Xuan also did not participate in the election. This was the result of secret coordination between him and Zhou Tianshou. As long as he did not participate in the election, Zhou Tianshou would appoint him as Huayuan's chief of staff once elected.
Having lost his strongest competitor, Zhou Tianshou, as the successor that Wan Lei focused on cultivating, received 60% of the votes in the parliamentary election, and was successfully elected as the third president without any surprise. This time, the parliament also passed several
One of the constitutional amendments stipulates that a president with a civilian background should appoint a chief of staff with a military background, and a president with a military background should choose a chief of staff with a civilian background, so as to achieve both civil and military skills without favoring one side.
The duties and powers of the chief of staff are also clearly stipulated in the amendment. The chief of staff is the deputy to the president. He is only responsible to the president and assists the president in the implementation of state affairs. When the president is unable to govern due to business reasons, the chief of staff can be appointed by the Senate through the Senate.
It was voted that the chief of staff would perform the duties of the president as acting president. In this sense, the chief of staff is equivalent to the vice president.
When a new president was elected, Wan Lei did not step down, because the new president would not be officially sworn in until the 15th day of the first lunar month of the following year. During this transition period, Wan Lei and Zhou Tianshou secretly transferred power to the president.
, which includes not only the handover of administrative affairs, but also the handover of various secrets.
Wan Lei has been in power for more than ten years. Of course, he has many secret "weapons" to protect his power. There are many secret agencies under his control, not just the secret service department, but also secret research institutes, as well as secrets hidden deep in the underground bunker of Huayuan.
Scientific research files, if Wan Lei does not hand over these, the new president will not even be able to perform his presidential duties normally.
This secret handover was only between Wan Lei, Zhou Tianshou and a few special guards of the president, and outsiders did not know about it at all. But what everyone knew was that the glorious Wan era was coming to an end, and the unknown Zhou era was coming. Many people
Worried about the country's uncertain future, some people even went to Huayuan to petition, hoping that Wan Lei would stay in office. However, these noises were quickly covered up by the laughter of the New Year.
On December 29, 10th year of the Chinese calendar, Wan Lei published an editorial for the last time as president. While wishing the people a happy New Year, he also directly expressed his trust and support for the new president. At the end of the editorial
A small advertisement was also made, and a book called "The Dream of Great China" was officially published.
The book "Dream of Great China" is written by Wan Lei. It has more than 600,000 words and is divided into fourteen chapters. It briefly describes the ups and downs of the Republic of China in a semi-autobiographical way. The book repeatedly emphasizes one theme, that is
The Great China Dream is to build a prosperous, democratic, civilized and free Republic of China.
Since this book is Wan Lei’s memory of being in power for more than ten years, the book was sold out as soon as it was released, because every citizen of the Republic of China hopes to get a copy so that he can relive the founding and rise of the Republic of China.
This glorious journey.
Even Wan Lei's mortal enemy, Zhu Yunwen, sent someone to buy a copy. He also wanted to know the reasons for Wan Lei's victory and the reasons for his own failure. However, after reading this book, he got the answer he wanted.
, but couldn't find the solution he wanted, as if he was destined to fail.
The book "The Dream of Great China" was not only widely distributed in Han areas, it soon spread to Southeast Asia and India. Unlike various books published only in Chinese in the past, "The Dream of Great China" is the only one that has been translated
A book written in another country's language, this one with several hundred pages
"The Dream of Great China" is more like a brochure than a book. Everyone who reads it will be infected by the strong propaganda and universally valuable remarks in it, which increases the number of countries in the world.
Yearning for the emerging country of the Republic of China.
The book "Dream of Great China" was sold well both at home and abroad. This was something Wan Lei had expected. To his surprise, the Senate actually proposed that the book should be made a required textbook in universities, and even proposed excerpts from it.
Important chapters are included in Chinese textbooks for primary and secondary schools.
Wan Lei was surprised that a book that he usually wrote by hand would become a compulsory textbook. Wan Lei also regretted why he didn't put more effort into writing better. However, Wan Lei was still happy to hear about it. This was a sign of Dahua.
The dream will truly penetrate into the hearts of every citizen.
