Chapter 372 The Northwest Incident (1)

The first thing I waited for was Lu Qiurong. Because she was still a first-year student, she was one of the first to come out. It was not long. After seeing Luo Yue, she immediately shouted "Dad" and ran over happily. Luo Yue also picked her up and raised her high above her head. Not long after, Xiao Zhujing and Meng Shizhang also came out. When they saw Luo Yue coming to pick them up, they were very happy and kept shouting around Luo Yuehuan.

Although Luo Yue often travels on business trips and does not spend much time with his children, his care for these children is not inferior to Zhou Weiying. After all, the role of a father is different from that of a mother. He does not need to accompany his children for a long time like a mother, but instead takes the children to play games. When Luo Yue is free, he will take the children to outings, climb mountains, swim, play football, etc. Sometimes he will do some simple games with the children. Moreover, Luo Yue is a soldier, and has a layer of sacred light in the children's hearts. Therefore, in the children's hearts, Zhou Weiying is a gentle, beautiful, careful and kind mother, while Luo Yue is an omnipotent and brave and strong father.

The family chatted and laughed for a while before they were about to go home. Zhou Weiying drove by herself and her guard was sent away. Therefore, Luo Yue asked Xiao Zhou to take Zhou Weiying's car and took three children. The other two were riding with Luo Yue. The two cars were driven home one by one and one by one.

The vehicle stopped at the gate of the yard. Before anyone could get off the car, there was a barking sound of dogs in the yard. Five or six husky rushed out of the yard and shouted around the vehicle. After Luo Yue got off the car, they rushed towards Luo Yue's body. Luo Yue also smiled and patted and touched the heads of each husky. After Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zhao got off the car, they also grabbed one husky, patted and touched each husky, and laughed and said, "Do you remember me?" "You have gained weight again." Because they often come to Luo Yue's house, they are very familiar with these husky, and they often play with these husky, so they are all familiar with them. Only the driver Xiao Liu is older and has a calm personality, so they don't play with them.

At this time, the few puppies that Qin Zheng brought back from the Northeast had grown up at this time, and they were all energetic and were good playmates for the children. Of course, it was because Luo Yue's family had a large yard and people and dogs had sufficient room for activity, so the Hakka did not attack the house. Every day after school, the children had to play with the Hakka for a while. Today, Luo Yue, Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhao and others were all here, and the Hakkaka were also particularly excited.

After a while, Luo Yue and Zhou Weiying went into the house. The children and Xiao Zhao and Xiao Zhou were still in the yard and played with the children and Erha. Because Luo Yue’s home is in the military-controlled area and has tight security, they no longer have to worry about Luo Yue’s safety here, so they can relax.

At this time, the nanny Yang Hongping was cooking in the kitchen, and the fragrance had already flowed into the restaurant. Because I had known that Luo Yue was back today, and according to previous experience, Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zhao would come to have dinner together, so Yang Hongping also prepared a large table of hearty meals.

It wasn't long, and Zhou Ping came back, but she told everyone that Qin Zheng had an extraordinary meeting tonight and would not come back for dinner, so there was no need to wait for Qin Zheng to start dinner.

Just this afternoon, the Executive Yuan received an emergency message from the northwest. Cen Chunxuan sent a message to the East China Government for help, asking the People's Army to march into Gansu and rescue him. So the Executive Yuan decided to hold a meeting overnight to discuss whether to rescue Cen Chunxuan.

It turns out that although Cen Chunxuan has been negotiating the surrender with the East China Government in the past few months, it has been carried out in secret. Only a few of Cen Chunxuan's confidants know it and have not made it public. However, Cen Chunxuan has a tough attitude and swears to fight to the death with the East China Government.

Because Gansu was mixed with fish and dragons, and many other forces gathered in Gansu, Xinjiang, Mongolia, Qinghai and other forces, Tibet also sent an army to join in the fun. Cen Chunxuan was just the co-leader of the famous discussion, but in fact he could not control other forces at all.

The interests of all forces are different. Cen Chunxuan has experienced the strong combat power of the People's Army and knew that he was unable to resist at all, so he decided to surrender and strive to gain more benefits for himself. Xinjiang and Qinghai are not opposed to surrendering to the East China Government, but they hope to retain their privileges in the Qing Dynasty. As Zhangjia Seventh Living Buddha in Qinghai, he is still aiming at the position of the great master. Only the Mongolian forces firmly oppose surrendering to the East China Government and are determined to stand by the East China Government to the end. After all, they have no choice now.

The Tibet forces are purely here to watch the situation. Although the sphere of influence of the East China Government is still far from Tibet, its influence has been spread to Tibet. It is adjacent to Tibet and has many similarities. The two provinces of Qinghai are now facing the threat of the East China Government. Once these two provinces are in a loss, Tibet will directly face the military front of the East China Government. Therefore, Tibet also sent an army of more than 700 people to Gansu to find out the truth and reality of the East China Government.

Although they did not reject surrendering to the East China Government, after all, Tibet still had a certain centripetal force over the orthodox Chinese government. There was no psychological barrier to the orthodox Chinese government, but surrender was also conditional. Not only did they want to continue to maintain the preferential conditions of the Qing court, but they also wanted to go further and gain more autonomy. Therefore, they did not want to see Gansu surrender like this. At least they had to resist for a longer period of time. First, they had to have more time to understand the East China Government, and second, they wanted to increase the difficulty of the East China Government. In the future, Tibet would have enough bargaining chips when negotiating with the East China Government.

Although Cen Chunxuan is the highest official in Gansu and Xinjiang in the famous discussion, he can only command his own army. However, he was defeated by the People's Army in Shaanxi, and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties and were seriously injured. Therefore, some people could not conquer the situation. They negotiated surrender with the East China Government, and could only carry out secretly and dare not let other forces know.

After several exchanges and communication between the two sides, they also changed from simplicity to pragmatism. After surrender, the East China Government will ensure the personal safety of Cen Chunxuan and his family. Cen Chunxuan's actions during the Qing Dynasty were eliminated and no longer pursued. Cen Chunxuan's family's property, except for land, did not move.

As for Cen Chunxuan's personal resettlement, the East China Government gave him three choices: one was to serve in Qingdao and arrange a suitable department to serve as minister; the other was to serve in the local area, and could choose a place to serve as governor in Gansu and Shaanxi; the third was to join the army, and serve as deputy commander-level military post in the Northwest Military Region, with the rank of major general.

Since he had fought with the East China Government, Cen Chunxuan knew how much he was and wanted to maintain a certain degree of independence under the East China Government. Therefore, the East China Government made three choices, which should be the last spy. If Cen Chunxuan was not satisfied, it would mean that the negotiations would break down, and the next one would be the only war to meet. So Cen Chunxuan also studied the three choices offered by the East China Government for himself very seriously, and determined which one would be the most beneficial to him.

The first choice was to serve as minister in Qingdao. Although the official system and administrative level of the East China Government adopted the old system, in this era, some people conducted serious research and corresponded to the official positions of the Qing court. Now the highest administrative body of the East China Government is the Executive Yuan, which is equivalent to the Military Affairs Office or the Cabinet. The nine committees that form the Executive Yuan are equivalent to the Six Ministry of Affairs, so the heads of the nine committees are equivalent to the Six Ministry of Ministers, but at the same time they are members of the Executive Yuan. Then, in the Qing court, the Six Ministry of Ministers also serve as ministers of the Military Affairs Office.

Under the nine committees, there are several departments, and the officials of each department are called ministers, which should correspond to the six ministries. Therefore, the first choice given to it by the East China Government is equivalent to the six ministries waiting for it. According to the level of the Qing court, it is considered a third-rank official. As a surrendered person, this should be a very good treatment. However, Cen Chunxuan also knew that the department given to him would definitely not be an important department. After all, although the six ministries of the Qing court were Runzun in terms of rank, they were actually divided into three or six levels.

The second choice is the governor of Gansu or Shaanxi. At first glance, it should be equivalent to the governor of the Qing court. However, the governor of the Qing court was arrested by military, government, finance and punishment. The governor of the East China Government is a pure civilian official and cannot command the army. Therefore, the governor's real power is actually worse than that of the governor. To be precise, it should be equivalent to the governor. The governor's level in the Qing court was from the second rank, and one level higher than the sixth ministry's waiting period. However, local officials are often lower than central officials, so they are generally equivalent.

The third option is to serve as a military post in the Northwest Military Region at the level of deputy commander. The military system of the East China Government is very different from that of the Qing court. The Qing court inherited the Ming Dynasty system. The civil service respects military personnel, and military posts must be reduced by at least 3-4 ranks to correspond to the corresponding civil posts. For example, the first-rank admiral of the military post must be controlled by the fourth-rank prefect. The East China Government is completely separated from the military and political system, each with its own system, and does not interfere with each other in normal times. Therefore, it is difficult to find the corresponding official post, and it can only be roughly equivalent to the deputy admiral or general level.

Cen Chunxuan was originally from a military post, but later he was transferred to civil service because of Cixi's appreciation for him and finally became the governor. Now he has returned to the army, which is also a good choice. Moreover, it is now in a chaotic era, so there is great potential in the army.
