"Do you f * cking believe the central government or Manchu Qing!" Lei Hu, the political commissar of the Xuzhou Military Region, cursed.
Lei Hu couldn't be blamed. After listening to the intelligence staff officer report the latest news from Manchu Qing, the senior cadres of the Xuzhou Military Region were all furious. Everyone could understand Manchu Qing's cursing of Vézé, but they couldn't accept this attitude. Especially when they saw the somewhat frightened expression of the intelligence staff officer, they became even angrier.
"Inform the entire army that Manchu Qing is looking forward to the death of the commander-in-chief. Don't worry about their bullsh * t! "Lei Hu immediately ordered after his anger subsided a little.
Vézé's health indeed determined everything for the Liberation Army and the new government. Hearing the news of Vézé's death, even though Lei Hu knew it was a lie, he still felt a strong shock in his heart. According to the intelligence staff officer, the news of Wei Ze's death was spreading all over the Manchurian Qing, and it was said with great detail. If the military command couldn't immediately spread the news, it would really have a big impact in the military.
After coming up with an internal solution, Lei Hu thought for a moment and said to the party committee, "Send another telegram to the central government to report this situation. This is the first time Manchu Qing has spread rumors about the death of the commander-in-chief. We have to remind the central government. "
"Will the commander-in-chief be unhappy?" The party committee member was a little worried.
"The commander-in-chief definitely won't be unhappy. What's there to be unhappy about doing work?" Lei Hu replied unhappily.
Vézé was indeed unhappy, but not because of the telegram, not even because of the work. He called his two wives together for a closed-door meeting. "It's a fact that I married both of you. What bullsh * t three obediences and four virtues? I don't believe in that. That's definitely not the view of a real scholar. It must be a group of sh * t poor scholars, a group of idiots who can't do anything but bully women. Because personal negative emotions affect life, I think it's better to solve the conflict through discussion. At least don't intensify the conflict. But to say that one shouldn't have any negative emotions, I think that's nonsense! What do you think? "
No matter what, Qi Hongyi was the acknowledged legal wife. Having been married to Vézé for more than ten years, she had long known that Vézé was not a man who took pride in bullying and oppressing women. So she just snorted and rolled her eyes at Vézé.
Li Yifang no longer cared. Although she was not as respectable as Qi Hongyi, she also had a job. She also took time to study while taking care of the child. Therefore, she knew that Vézé was definitely not talking about the conflict between his two wives. Li Yifang said softly, "What do you want to talk about now?"
Vézé said angrily, "What I want to talk about is that you can't treat your daughter differently! I think three kids is a lot. I was also a man. The thought of educating the three of them well, making them avoid temptation as much as possible and making them useful people already put a lot of pressure on me. But let me tell you clearly, I won't mind giving birth to ten more daughters! Now I only have one daughter. Look at your attitude towards her! Why do I feel that when I go home, I will hug more daughters than you! Don't compete with my brother? It should be that my brother can't compete with her! "
Of course, Li Yifang loved her son. Even as an ordinary mother who loved her daughter, it was normal for her to love her son more. Hearing Vézé's criticism, Li Yifang temporarily fell silent.
But Qi Hongyi said calmly, "Your Majesty, you married us and had four children. That's not a lot."
Vézé knew what Qi Hongyi meant. He replied unhappily, "Can the medical standards in ancient times be compared to now? The reason why Kangxi and Pockmarked Kang could become emperors was that he had smallpox, so everyone thought that he wouldn't die early. But we all have smallpox vaccines. We adults have all been vaccinated. Our children have also been vaccinated, so they won't get smallpox in the future. The new China will not allow children to die before they reach adulthood. Besides, we have the ability to solve this problem. We are solving these problems. Times have changed, and your attitude towards children has also changed! It's not that we don't die, but there won't be many children left. It's that when we die, our children are still alive and will send us off. Looking at our corpses, what do they think? It's that when we are alive, we can pass on our life experiences to them. As parents, we not only give birth to their bodies, but also educate their spirits. We have to admit that we don't have the ability to make a bowl of water flat. But when we ask ourselves before we die, don't think that we are biased. Don't think that we are good to others and bad to others! This is my opinion! "
If it was a traditional royal family, this kind of reprimand would be considered a fierce struggle in the palace. But after Vézé expressed his political views to his two wives, they didn't really take it seriously. Li Yifang refuted her husband's point of view as a mother, "Your Majesty, our daughter's father is not only our family. Chang Rong's family, Shen Xin's family, Hu Chenghe's family, all the families who go to our parents' class are like this. Have you spoiled our daughter to such an extent? She complains when she sees you now! I only have one daughter, how can I not love her? I can't bear to see her scolding! "
After Li Yifang refuted Vézé, Qi Hongyi said with a smile, "Yifang, Vézé only has one daughter now. He always thinks that we are not good enough to her. Didn't he say that ten daughters are not a lot? No problem, let's give him a few more daughters. I really want to have two more daughters. "
Hearing that, Vézé felt a headache. He put his hand on his forehead and sighed, "Isn't four enough?"
Looking at Vézé's expression, Qi Hongyi said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I know you are ambitious. You want to give birth to one and educate one. But what do you call this idea of yours? That's not being realistic. Just these two alone are enough for me to exhaust my mental strength. "
At this time, Li Yifang also stood on the same side as Qi Hongyi. She said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are busy with the affairs of the country. I am very happy that you are finally worried about our children! I only hope that Your Majesty will not suddenly have this idea, but worry about it every day! "
Being ridiculed by his wife, Vézé could not refute. He pressed his forehead and sighed, "I want to die now!"
"Your Majesty, please don't be like this. I don't have a daughter, and I always feel that there is a big piece missing in my heart. Your Majesty, please fulfill my wish no matter what." Qi Hongyi continued to attack Vézé mercilessly. Vézé and Qi Hongyi had lived together for more than ten years. He could tell that Qi Hongyi was not joking.
Li Yifang was not particularly fond of ridiculing people. She was also happy that Vézé was so concerned about her daughter. Li Yifang smiled and said, "I only hope that Your Majesty can take care of the children every day. Seeing Your Majesty carrying the children on your shoulders, I actually want to see Your Majesty do it more often even though I say that I won't let them quarrel with Your Majesty."
If his two wives argued with Vézé, Vézé was confident that he could use reason to suppress them. But since his two wives were using the family as an excuse, Vézé realized that he could only surrender. Compared to their wives, most men would have to surrender. Under the echoes of his two wives, Vézé admitted that what he said just now was biased. The reason why he did such a thing was that he did not take care of his family enough, did not care enough, and did not observe enough. Moreover, under the pressure of his two wives, Vézé had to agree to have another child with each of them in the near future. Not only did his initial strategic goal fail, but he also signed a humiliating new treaty. This made Vézé deeply feel that he was useless.
Faced with the rumor that he was dead, Vézé wanted to ignore it. But the fact that the Xuzhou Military District personally sent a telegram meant that the comrades also attached great importance to this matter. It would not be appropriate not to call back. Vézé commented, "My personal judgment is that this means that Manchu Qing has reached the end of the road and can only rely on open lies to maintain morale."
If it was in the 21st century, a phone call could confirm whether Vézé was dead or not. In this era where information was scarce, it would be a lie to say that the comrades in the Xuzhou Military District were not shaken when they suddenly heard such a rumor. After receiving Vézé's reply, the uneasiness in the Xuzhou Military District exploded. The Party Committee of the Military District unanimously agreed that Manchu Qing needed to be taught a lesson.
At this time, the military operation to liberate Sichuan had just begun. The three military districts of Hunan, Hubei, and Yunnan had each sent two armies to Sichuan. The Sichuan regular army had a total of only 30,000 soldiers. They were inferior in strength and equipment training to deal with any of the Liberation Army's armies. The three armies did not have the so-called "coordinated operation". The purpose of each army was to annihilate the enemy along the way. As long as any army killed their way into the Chengdu Plain, the war would be over.
The meaning of the Military Commission was very simple. After solving the problem of Sichuan, they could consider the issue of a full-scale northern expedition. As the frontline, the Xuzhou Military District could exert its power. Because of the Manchurian Qing's rumors, the Xuzhou Military Region, which was seething with revenge, couldn't use military force to teach the Manchurian Qing a lesson. In the end, after a discussion, if the Manchurian Qing could spread rumors, why couldn't the Liberation Army? Everyone was ready to spread rumors to Manchu Qing.
This kind of matter had to be reported to the central government. Lei Hu and the others wrote a thick letter about the rumor and sent it to Nanjing. Looking at the messenger getting on the steamboat and the engineers building the new cement embankments on both sides of the river, Lei Hu couldn't help but sigh. "Governing a country is really complicated!"
The comrades in the army had not been fighting in the past few years, but they had not been idle. After the Yellow River changed its course, Xuzhou gradually changed from a "water city" to a city full of swamps. In order to be able to improve the grain production level of northern Jiangsu with Xuzhou as the center, the violent land reform, including canals, land leveling, drainage, drought, and a series of problems fell on the shoulders of the new government. The new government could only use the army to deal with these problems, and the army had not been idle in the past few years.
This was the case with the canals. According to the latest width and tonnage of steam ships, the new government formulated new canal shipping regulations. The old canal from Yangzhou to Xuzhou was widened. In addition to the army, a large number of sentenced reactionary landlords were also used to hire a large number of civilians.
The Military Governor Vaize was indeed not an ordinary person. He also proposed a plan that combined the canals, water networks, land leveling, and irrigation. He hoped that this operation could achieve as much comprehensive management as possible. Not to mention the large number of technicians and surveys needed for comprehensive management, just the manpower invested was far beyond Lei Hu's imagination. Originally, Lei Hu thought that China's labor force was very rich. Now he understood that in order to let the vast China live and work in peace and contentment, the labor force needed was truly astronomical.
