The Travelers of the Heavens

Also in 1914, Archduke Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was assassinated in Sarajevo, and World War I broke out.

The Allied Powers camp, headed by Germany, and the Entente Powers camp, headed by Britain, were fighting to the death on the European continent. The four-year war caused all the European powers to shed their blood.

On Rooster Land, in 1915, Yuan Datou's intention to proclaim himself emperor became more and more obvious, and the War to Protect the Country broke out immediately.

In 1916, amid unanimous nationwide condemnation and the rapid offensive of the National Guard Army, Yuan Datou, who had been emperor for eighty-three days in Xiangcheng, announced his abdication and died immediately.

But one wave comes after another. In 1917, Zhang Xun, the"braided commander", had no idea what illness he had, but he dared to lead his troops to Beijing to negotiate with the Chilian Corps to support the restoration of the deposed emperor Puyi.

Naturally, this move was ruthlessly suppressed by the Chilian Corps, and the five thousand braided troops were wiped out. Zhang Xun was seriously injured and fled before he could see Puyi, and his whereabouts are unknown.

The farce one after another is really dizzying.

In November of the tenth year of the Great Zhou Empire's auspicious reign (the seventh year of the Republic of China, 1918 AD), the Allies surrendered, ending the First World War.

In the twelfth lunar month of the same year, a woman's screams came from a delivery room in the Anton Duhu Mansion in Jinling.

It turned out that Li Xiaoman was giving birth.

Outside the delivery room, Da Siming paced back and forth. Li Xiaoman has been suffering for nearly two hours

"Wow.. Wow"A baby cries.

Immediately afterwards, the midwife came out holding the baby to announce that Li Xiaoman had given birth to a son.

Wang Cong, who was already fifteen years old, looked at his cheap brother. He felt very complicated. Could it be that the soul of a modern blue planet had entered this kid's body?

Perhaps thinking that he was overthinking, Wang Cong shook his head.

Because Wang Yu was absent, the child was named Wang Pu by the chief minister. Since he was born in Tongxin Hall, the child had the name Tongxin.

After the child was one month old, Da Siming returned to the Zhou Empire.

However, Wang Cong was thinking about something that he couldn't explain. Why was his cheap grandmother still so young and beautiful? The cheap mother took good care of herself and could maintain her youthful appearance and could barely explain it. Then her grandmother was also so young and beautiful. It just doesn't make sense. No matter how much she takes care of her, she is a grandmother. How can she still be so young after being separated by a generation? Unless my grandmother is young and her cheap father is not her biological child.

But this is obviously impossible. Wang Cong heard something similar to"When I gave birth to you" in the conversation between his grandmother and his father."If anything, this means that the father is indeed the grandma's biological father, but since the grandma is so young and beautiful, there must be some unknown secret. Is it really true that they often drink the blood of babies like some ghost stories say? Oh my God, this is terrible.

It has to be said that Wang Cong has a great imagination, just like his mother Li Xiaoman when she first came here. But as time goes by, the secrets of Wang Yu Changsheng's family will also be known to Wang Cong.

When Li Xiaoman gave birth to a child in the Duhufu, the Republic of China outside also entered a period of warlord war. With the death of Yuan Datou in 1916, his Beiyang generals divided up his army and territory. Currently, Zhili, Fengcheng, and Anhui The three major factions of warlords are the strongest local forces in the Republic of China at present, and Sun Wen, who is far away in Guangzhou, cannot compare with them.

Among the three major warlord factions, Fengjun, who was supported by the Japanese, was the strongest and the most developed force. The leader, Marshal Zhang Zuolin, had more than 200,000 well-equipped troops under his command. They lived in Shenyang, that is, Fengtian.

As mentioned earlier, the 8th Corps of the Kyushu Army also lived in the Northeast. Why could such a large army like Fengjun develop here? This was also due to the relationship between the Japanese and the Great Zhou Empire. If there were warlords supported by other countries, the Eighth Army Corps would have been wiped out long ago.

The emergence of Fengjun greatly relieved the pressure on the Eighth Army Corps, allowing the main force of the Corps to shrink to the periphery of Changchun. The defense of the original Shenyang area has been completely handed over to the Japanese and Fengjun.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in the Northeast. How could the hungry people at that time afford such huge military expenditures?

It should be mentioned here that in the areas where the Kyushu Army is stationed, the common people will not bear the military expenses. All expenses will be paid by the Kyushu Army themselves. Some supplies will also be secretly transported through space tunnels to the designated locations and then brought back to the troops. station.

On the other hand, the cities where Kyushu soldiers were stationed have ushered in economic prosperity. This is because the Xingyuan Protectorate will invest in local factories, build railways and roads, and even mine some mineral resources. The workers are well treated, and each worker's monthly base salary is six yuan. Silver dollars, if it is dangerous work, the reward will be increased. Every six days of work, one day off, and nine hours of work every day without rest time. Such generous treatment made some Japanese rogues who immigrated to the Northeast with the army but still had no food and clothing want to work in the mines.

Although these projects were for the Kyushu Army to quickly maneuver and plunder resources in the future, the common people at that time did not care about this. With little information and insufficient food, the common people enthusiastically signed up one after another. Although the Northeast Pork Stewed Vermicelli could not be eaten every meal But I can eat it two or three times a week. At other times, it is served with white flour, steamed buns, rice, or meat such as chicken, duck, and fish.

Workers at the railway construction sites and mines under the Imperial Guard's Office in the Northeast of the Great Zhou Empire were treated so well that some Japanese garrison soldiers sent to the Northeast wanted to take off their military uniforms and go to South Manchuria or North Manchuria to build railways and mine.

Due to the need for a large amount of meat, this has driven the breeding industry in the Northeast region, and the entire Northeast economic chain has rotated perfectly.

Time unknowingly came to the sixteenth year of Xiangying (the thirteenth year of the Republic of China, 1924 AD).

In the Anton Protectorate, an urgent telegram was delivered to Wang Qi

"What's the matter, so nervous?"Li Xiaoman was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. She saw her husband frowning and pacing back and forth, so she asked

"The Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China have jointly organized troops to prepare for a large-scale Northern Expedition. They want to completely end the Beiyang faction warlords. It is unknown whether they will expel us together. In short, this matter is not easy to handle," Wang Qi said

"this"Li Xiaoman was speechless.

Twenty-one-year-old Wang Cong listened to his father's words without saying a word, while six-year-old Wang Pu was playing with himself with a wooden pistol in his hand.

At this time, the doorbell rang

"Come in," Wang Qi responded.

"Report, the new commander of the foreign corps sent from the mainland has arrived." The officer came in and first handed over a letter of appointment.

"Uh-huh? Twelfth brother? Mother is willing to send him here?"When he saw the name on the appointment letter, Wang Qi was surprised and said

"Invite him in," Wang Qi ordered.

After a while, a handsome guy with short purple hair and wearing the uniform of a second-class three-star general came in.

""Second brother, I'm so polite." Wang Yi came in and took off his hat to salute.

""Twelve brothers, please excuse me and please take a seat," Wang Qi said with a smile.

Then Wang Qi and Wang Yi sat down almost at the same time.

Wang Yi is the third son born to Wang Yu by the Moon God, and is Wang Qi's half-brother. He is the twelfth among all the sons. It is probably because of Wang Yu’s support that his own mother took over the post of commander of the foreign corps this time.

"Who is this"

"I recognize this, this is the second sister- in- law." Wang Qi was about to introduce him when Wang Yi answered.

""Twelve Princes" Li Xiaoman stood up and bowed his head slightly in greeting

"Beixuan, Tongxin, this is your twelfth uncle." Immediately, Li Xiaoman called his two sons over.

"Hello Uncle Twelve." Wang Cong and Wang Pu came over to say hello.

""Wang Yi nodded in response

"I thought my father would reinstate the eighth brother to his post, but I didn’t expect that he would send the twelfth brother to take over," Wang Qi said.

"You talk, the children and I will go out first." After Li Xiaoman and Wang Qi finished speaking, they took their two sons and left.

"Bage has other appointments," Wang Yi said

"Okay, so what is father's will for you to bring to me?" Wang Qi asked

"He asked us to consider the situation and give up Jinling and Shanghuan if necessary," Wang Yi said

"What?!"Wang Qi was surprised

"Yes, I heard from the teacher that the Northern Expeditionary Army organized by the two parties has almost started to set off. It is best for us not to get involved in the civil war between them and the Beiyang warlords. If necessary, we can help the Northern Expeditionary Army and let them gain a certain reputation," Wang Yi said

"Then let the Kuomintang fall hard," Wang Qi said

"What the second brother said is right, this is exactly what my father planned," Wang Yi said

"OK, I look forward to that day coming," Wang Qi said

"After the Northern Expedition wins, you can electrify the world and recognize the Republic of China. This is also my father's will," Wang Yi said again

"I will comply with it." Wang Qi nodded.

"Okay, can I take office?" Wang Yi joked

"Haha, twelfth brother, please rest for a day. I will hold a welcome banquet for you here tomorrow night, and invite all the ministers to come. You can get familiar with each other before taking office." Wang Qi said with a smile.

"So, thank you second brother." Wang Yi thanked

"Haha, you and I are brothers of the same flesh and blood, how can we say thank you or not?" Wang Qi said with a smile.
