"Oh, it's already so late? The queen and the others are still waiting for me to start the meal. Let's go quickly, don't let my harem grape trellis fall."

Yixin and Shanqi both smiled knowingly. For the royal family, family affairs are state affairs, and the emperor's palace harmony is a blessing for the court. It is best for the emperor to work hard to give birth to a prince earlier, which is the celebration of the whole world.

The three of them rode in a sedan chair and came all the way to Kunning Palace. Before they even entered the hall, they could hear the 'giggling' laughter inside.

"Haha, this must be Jianning." Zai Tian said with a smile.

Sure enough, when he entered the room, he saw Jianning holding King Chun Fujin and smiling constantly. The other girls were also accompanying him, all smiling and happy. Seeing Zai Tian coming in, the four girls immediately stood up to salute. Nara also wanted to get up, but Zai Tian stopped him.

After seeing Li, Zai Tian pretended to be stern: "Jianning, why are you so unruly? You are gentle, gentle."

Unfortunately, for more than ten years, Jianning has not been afraid of Zai Tian. It seems that the emperor’s brother has arrived, but he actually pouted: “Sven? Can Siwen be a food for food?”

Damn! Zai Tian is just a shady line, "Who educates this?"

Everyone shot their eyes at Zai Tian.

Dexin came out to rescue the situation, "Since the emperor is here, the banquet can finally be held. All of us are so hungry."

Zai Tian hurriedly said, "Yes, let's pass the meal quickly." As he said that, he secretly wiped his sweat.

Soon, the dinner was arranged, and the king and his ministers took their seats. Zai Tian and the two princes also specially opened a bottle of foreign red wine to serve. Even the Nara and the four girls drank a little.

During the meal, Zai Tian raised his glass and solemnly greeted the two imperial concubines: "For the sake of the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, the two beloved concubines suffered. I represent the ancestors and the people of the world, as well as the officers and soldiers of the Guards, respect the two beloved concubines."

Princess Zhen and Princess Rong dared to accept it, so they raised their glasses and returned the greeting. Jianning, who was beside him, refused to obey: "Brother Emperor, I thought of this idea first, why don't you respect me?"

To be honest, the current medical soldiers are mainly female soldiers, and the establishment of female soldiers was initially due to Jianning's jokes. Although Jianning established the so-called female soldiers at that time purely for jokes, these female soldiers eventually became the basis of current medical soldiers. If it were not for the jokes that they had done before, they would not have known how many detours they would have to establish a medical soldier in a country like the Qing Dynasty that was bound by feudal ethics for thousands of years.

"Okay, Jianning is right, I'll give you a cup." Zai Tian raised his glass to honor Jianning again. The willful princess drank happily, and her eyes turned, and another trouble broke out.

"By the way, I almost let my elder brother escape."

Everyone was stunned, and Zai Tian was also surprised and said, "What have I been confused?"

"Hmph, when the Emperor brother was just honoring the two emperor sisters, he represented three, but in the end he only drank one glass of wine. I wonder if it was because the ancestors and the clans had not drunk it, or the people had not drunk it?"

After hearing this, Nara reached out and patted Jianning, "What are you talking nonsense? Can the ancestors and ancestors use it to make fun of?"

Jianning was scolded and stuck out his tongue. Zai Tian has been spoiling this sister since he was a child and hurriedly said, "Okay, I will make up for two more cups." As he said that, he drank two more cups in a row.

Nara pretended to be angry and said, "You are spoiling her, it's nothing! So are you, drinking so much, and taking care of your body."

The queen hurriedly said, "It's okay, the emperor usually doesn't drink any wine. This time it's everyone's reunion, and the state affairs are settled. I'm happy. If I drink a little occasionally, it's okay."

"Yes, yes," Zai Tian said hurriedly: "This wine is a Western product, and its degree is similar to our rice wine. Moreover, drinking it for a long time can also promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. It is especially good for middle-aged and elderly people, and you should also drink some from time to time."

Although Zai Tian brought the Nara family into the palace now, he could not be called the bride, nor could he be called the bride. This involves too much, so he can only be called a cryptic title.

In fact, the Nara family also likes this happy atmosphere. For a mother, seeing that her children are healthy and her whole family is more important than any major event in the world.

Speaking and laughing like this, King Gong and King Su also toasted a few glasses of wine respectively. Time passed.

Zai Tian suddenly said, "By the way, I still have some business, and I want to discuss with the queen and my two beloved concubines."

When Dexin heard about official business, she hurriedly took Concubine Zhen. Concubine Rong stood up and saluted, saying, "Just rely on the emperor's orders."

Zai Tian said: "That's right. I have eliminated the old and reformed the Westernization Movement and strengthened myself. Now the national strength is booming. However, the country has developed too fast and the lack of talents is serious. Especially for the work I have in my hands, I cannot take responsibility for it if I have no choice but to my three beloved concubines."

Jianning was curious about this. "What kind of thing is it? I have to take the emperor's wife into action?"

Zai Tian said: "First, is to establish the Chinese Women's Federation. Encourage women to go to school and seek knowledge and serve the Qing Dynasty better in the future. You have also seen this war. Japan is just a small country, and it is still so difficult. In time, the Qing Dynasty will compete for hegemony with all the powerful countries in the world, and the wars they encounter will definitely be more than ten times more cruel than this. If all the women of the Qing Dynasty can be organized, it will be a big help to the national strength in the future. This work must be done by the queen."

Zai Tian was considering the Sino-Russian conflict and world war that would definitely happen in the future. There will definitely be a large number of adult men going to the battlefield, and domestic construction and logistics need to be supplemented by women, so he is planning ahead. Moreover, in the Qing Dynasty, a country with strict ethics, liberating feminism is not a matter of one day or one night. There must be a person who cannot be shaken by anyone to take the lead and take a slow plan.

"The other one is also related to war. That is, the establishment of the China Medical Assistance Association. It usually studies medicine and diagnoses and treats the people. It organizes it during wartime to serve the soldiers on the front line."

Several women also thought of this, after all, the role played by the medical team in this war is obvious to all.

"The third is related to people's livelihood. Whether it is natural disasters or war disasters, many people will be homeless and struggle to survive. Although the court is also trying its best to maintain it, the wise people are worried. Therefore, I plan to set up a Chinese Charity Relief Association to fill in the gaps for the court and safeguard the people."

After saying this, the two princes and four girls both stood up and salute: "The emperor is kind and wise, and it is indeed a blessing for the country and a blessing for the people!"

After the ceremony, Jianning pulled Zai Tian's sleeve and said, "Brother Emperor, what is Jianning doing?"

"You, settle your home first, and in two years, you will naturally be at work." Zai Tian pointed at Jianning's nose.

Now that King Chun’s three-year filial piety period is not yet over, Jianning has to stay at home even if he is naughty.

"By the way," Zai Tian suddenly said, "I think Pu Wei seems to be twenty years old. According to my opinion, it is better to let him go to North Korea to practice. I wonder what the prince is thinking?"

Prince Gong was overjoyed. Now the situation in the Korean War is basically stable and there is no pressure from the Russians. Letting Pu Wei go at this time is undoubtedly gilding. Although as the eldest grandson of Prince Gong, Pu Wei will never lack luxury clothing and food, Yi Xin still understands that a real power and a free prince are light and heavy.

"Thank you, the emperor, let Pu Wei go with the new army in Shanghai this time."

“Okay.”

Then the few chatted for a while. It was late at night. The two princes invited good night to go back. Zai Tian was also preparing to comfort the two imperial concubines.

Kyushu Island, Japan.

The speed of the Guards' advance can be described as unstoppable.

Since the 12th and 13th, they occupied Isaiah and Nagasaki, they occupied Omura on the 14th and Wuxiong on the 15th. On the 17th, the main force of the Guards began to attack Saga. On the same day, the 141st Brigade separated from the large force and captured Sasebo westward. After that, the brigade divided its troops again and attacked Hirado and Kawatsu respectively. By October 22, Saga and Nagasaki had been completely controlled by the Guards.

After that, the main force of the Guards was divided into two parts. Huang Chengyong led the main force of the 14th Division to continue northward, conquering Fukuoka and Kitakyushu, and controlling the Guanmen Strait; Liu Fengshan led the 15th Division to the eastward, and after capturing Kurume, the 151st Brigade went south along the Eighth Nun, Omuta and Yamaka attacked Kumamoto; the 152nd Brigade continued to advance eastward along Asakura, Hida and Beppu to occupy Oita.

While the Army launched an offensive, the Navy was also acting.

With the Dingyuan ship as the core, it includes the fast cruiser "Bai Qi" and the destroyer "Leyi", frigates "Zhao She", "Tan Dan", "Pingyuan", "Huangtai" and other ships, plus more than a dozen mosquito gun ships and torpedo boats, as the first detachment, it is responsible for assisting the army in controlling the Japanese coast from Sasebo to Kitakyushu.

The cruiser "Wang Jian" and the frigates "Daituo", "Tian Ji", "Wu Zixu" and other ships are also equipped with more than a dozen auxiliary boats. As the second detachment, they are responsible for clearing the mines arranged by the Japanese army in the Korean Strait and Tsushima Strait.

The armored cruiser of the Wei Qing led the destroyers "Liang Po", "Zhao Xiangzi", and the frigate "Ni Liang" returned to Shanghai Port with a brigade of merchant ships. After that, some merchant ships will carry the 16th Division of the Guards to Japan. After completing the escort mission, the third detachment will meet with the Second Detachment and wait for the next combat plan.

While the Qing army continued to conquer various parts of Kyushu, the Japanese base camp also dispatched troops and generals in Honshu.

On the 16th, Japan's intelligence agencies in Europe learned about Russia and France's strategic plans and immediately managed to send them back to the base camp. Subsequently, the Russian ambassador to Japan formally informed Japanese Foreign Minister Shuzo Aoki, saying that since Japan had completely lost control of the Korean Peninsula, in order to implement the Russian-Japanese agreement, Russia will send a fleet to take over the port of Murara, Hokkaido on its own. At the same time, the Russian military will continue to uphold the will of His Majesty the Grand Tsar and ask Japan for a second secret agreement with the three ports promised by China and Japan.

There is really nothing to be the most shameless, only the more shameless! After receiving this note, the Japanese political circle was out of anger. However, at this time, the Russian envoy had already fled to Vladivostok on a boat, and even if he was angry, he had no choice. Then, in order to deal with the Russian threat, Emperor Meiji urgently summoned the ministers of the political circle, the land and the navy to discuss countermeasures. However, at this time, the Japanese navy was almost completely destroyed, and it was impossible to fight against the Russian fleet at sea.

At this moment, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again heard unfavorable news - a note from the French Minister of Envoy. In view of the current dispute between Japan and Russia and the military conflict with China, in order to ensure France's interests in Japan and maintain a peaceful and stable situation in the Far East, the French government will intervene in the Japanese-Shenzhen War to coordinate all parties. At the same time, the French government urges the Japanese side to negotiate with the Qing and Russia and implement bilateral agreements.

Meiji was furious and slapped the table and asked the ministers present: "The situation has become like this now, what do you think you will do!"

At this time, everyone remembered Hirobuki Ito's previous concerns. Unfortunately, this prime minister who was truly committed to developing for Japan died in great humiliation in the hands of his own citizens.

It's too late to say anything now.
