The Empire's Spring Festival holiday was only three days. In addition to the one-month winter vacation in the school, government departments and factories only had a short rest and then became busy. The Empire is in the war period. In this stage, in order to avoid extravagance and waste, even the annual New Year's dinner held by the emperor in the palace was cancelled. The imperial cabinet and various departments under the General Staff Department did not even have the holiday. Many imperial officials and military generals had only time to have a reunion dinner with their families on New Year's Eve, and then rushed to their respective positions.

The Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. Even during the war, everyone will celebrate the New Year. Especially the farmers who live better year by year are even better. Unlike the landlords who rented land to farm, now after owning land, they only need to pay less agricultural tax to the empire, and the remaining harvest is their own. In addition, the development of family breeding industry has made the lives of the vast majority of farmers improve day by day. Once the farmers who account for the vast majority of the empire's population live a better life, the entire country will develop better.

The war that started in September last year did not have any impact on the lives of the people. The prices of various materials in the empire were relatively stable. In particular, food did not rise wildly because of the war. After the empire occupied the Nanyang and Indochina Peninsula, it obtained two huge market areas. The grain produced in these areas alone could already feed most of the Chinese. In addition, the grain produced in mainland China made it impossible to eat enough food in the country. If there was food in hand, it was not panic. Under such circumstances, the entire empire was in a stable state.

However, occasionally some families will receive letters with postmarks from the Imperial General Staff, and then the whole family will fall into grief. These letters contain notices of death. Once it is confirmed that the soldiers on the front line are killed, the General Staff will send a notice of death and a letter of condolence from the General Staff to the families of the dead soldiers.

There will be deaths when there is war. Even if the equipment of the Imperial Army is much stronger than its opponents, there will still be casualties in the war, which will inevitably cause the families of the Empire to fall into pain. However, this is also impossible. If a country wants to be strong, it must fight hard and someone must sacrifice it. This is precisely for the strength of the country and the nation. This is also the reason why families who lived better and better in those days sent their sons to the battlefield. The current life comes from hardships, and they need to strive to protect their current life. Once the Empire fails in the war, the entire country may have to return to the dark period of the Qing Dynasty rule. The people of the Empire who finally lived a good life will no longer be willing to live such a life. Whoever wants to take away their happy life will take their lives, of course they will fight back desperately!

Overall, the Imperial Army was not very casualties. When the war began to be suspended, the total casualties of the Imperial Army was only more than 50,000. Among them, only more than 15,000 were killed, and the same number of serious injuries were the remaining minor injuries. The casualties of these tens of thousands were exchanged for less than 300,000 troops left by the millions of Qing Dynasty. In addition, more than 200,000 Russians fell under Shengjing City and on the way from Shengjing to Beijing. Of course, most of these Russians were frozen to death by the cold weather, which cannot be regarded as the military merits of the Imperial Army.

In addition to the casualties of the troops of both sides, the civilians also suffered heavy losses in this war. Originally, the people under the Qing Dynasty ruled were very difficult. After the war began, in order to maintain the war, the Qing government increased taxes and added a lot of harsh taxes, which made the people even more miserable. In addition, in the war, there were inevitably defeated soldiers robbery. Compared with the Imperial Army with good military discipline, the Qing army had no military discipline at all, and many ordinary people were harassed by them and even brutally killed. In addition, the Russians, the barbaric and rude Russians, killed all the way from the Mongolian grasslands to Shengjing City, and the civilians who died at their hands were not 100,000 or 80,000.

In war, life is undoubtedly very fragile. Just like grass in troubled times, no one cares about it. They will only be protected after the war is over. In addition, many of the people who were displaced in the war have frozen to death in the cold winter. Although the empire launched large-scale rescue and mobilized a large amount of food and cold-proof clothing from the south to the north, they still cannot do it perfectly.

However, the war will soon end. After the Imperial Army destroyed the Qing Dynasty, the Empire will begin to rebuild the north. A large amount of funds and materials will enter the north, and the people in the north will also enjoy the benefits brought by the Empire's New Deal. Those landless farmers will be distributed to land. They can also go to the South Ocean, Australia, and the Northeast where they will be developed next. After the Empire bought a large area of ​​territory from the Mexicans, they can also choose to travel across the ocean to North America to find a new happy life, etc. The current days are like the darkness before dawn for these ordinary people. As long as they spend this period of time, they can live a good life.

After the Spring Festival holiday, the imperial government and military continued to become busy. After the Spring Festival, spring was approaching. The temperature in the northern land would also begin to gradually rise. When the ice and snow melt and the earth regained its spring, the Imperial Army will launch another attack on the Qing Dynasty. This attack will be a fatal blow and will completely destroy the Qing Dynasty. Now the Qing Dynasty has only Shanxi and Zhili provinces controlled by the Qing Dynasty. Among them, the Qing government placed most of its troops near Beijing and planned to hold on to the aid. However, their reinforcements are still in Russia, thousands of miles away. Although the Russians have organized a huge expeditionary force, the entire Russia is still in the snow and ice. If the Russians want to go to the Far East, they will probably have to wait for about two months. By the time they arrive in the Far East, it is estimated that the early Qing Dynasty will have been destroyed!

Guangzhou No. 6 Primary School is one of the hundreds of primary schools in Guangzhou. It is not famous among the many primary schools in Guangzhou. Unlike the first primary schools where officials, generals and children of big businessmen are concentrated, No. 6 Primary School is just a civilian school. However, no one expected that the Crown Prince of the Empire would actually attend this primary school. This is related to the civilian education that the Empire Emperor Long Yufei has always advocated.

Empress Luo Yuhua originally planned to follow the previous dynasty and hire talented and well-educated people to teach the Crown Prince Longhua. However, this so-called elite education was rejected by Long Yufei. He did not want Prince Longhua to become a person with high expectations and disregard for reality when he grew up with the children of ordinary people. Only by letting him grow up with the children of ordinary people since he was a child can he know the true life of the common people, and will not become a foolish monarch after inheriting the throne of the empire in the future, and will he abandon the country that Long Yufei had worked hard to build at will.

According to Long Yufei's plan, the Crown Prince Longhua's primary and middle schools will attend civilian schools. However, in college, they will choose military academies. Although Long Yufei himself is not a soldier, he believes that only by pursuing the education of a regular military academies can the Crown Prince Longhua become a real man. Although Empress Luo Yuhua was a little dissatisfied with this, she did not dare to disobey Long Yufei's intentions on this issue. After all, although Long Yufei has many concubines now, he has no other descendants except Prince Longhua. The royal family's bloodline is weak, which makes the Crown Prince Longhua have to become a talent. Otherwise, who will the empire's country be entrusted to in the future?

Of course, the security work of the Crown Prince Longhua when he was in school was also particularly important. Near Guangzhou No. 6 Primary School, there is a battalion of the Imperial Army Gendarmerie. In addition to the usual training, the main task of this battalion is that once an emergency occurs, they can rush to Guangzhou No. 6 Primary School within five minutes to control the situation. In addition, in the school, except for the principal, Longhua's identity, the rest of the teachers did not know that the Imperial Crown Prince was in their school. Of course, except for some intelligence personnel from the Imperial Security Department who deliberately intervened in the school to protect Longhua, these people's task is to protect Longhua, and he is the hope of the future of the Empire!

Because he was often warned by Emperor Long Yufei, Longhua performed very low-key in school. However, even so, because of good family education, Longhua's academic performance in various subjects ranks among the top in the school. Whether it is cultural test scores or physical education scores, they are very good. In order to improve the physical fitness of the people, Long Yufei specifically asked all students to receive militarized training from elementary school. Of course, these are some physical fitness training, and they will only receive combat literacy training after entering middle school. After entering middle school, girls will receive field first aid and nursing training. These are all for the purpose of laying the foundation in the future.

Although the Crown Prince Longhua performed very well, he also had an obvious disadvantage, that is, he was not sociable, and his department liked to play with other friends. He was only over eight years old now, less than nine years old, and it was just a time to play. But he acted like a little adult, which was a freak in the eyes of other teachers and classmates!

Therefore, after school today, the head teacher of Longhua's class specially kept him in order to educate Longhua in this regard.r1152
