"Bang! Click!"

The photo of soldiers holding guns and roaring is frozen.

"Dear readers on the other side of the ocean, the Western Expedition is over, and my book is being sorted out for publication. But my promise to go to New York's Central Park to sign books may have to be postponed.

As you have learned along the way, Shao led this iron army from victory to victory, and now Shao has been promoted to the position of one of the main rulers of the Qing Dynasty.

Shao is about to visit Europe and America to meet many world celebrities. Wherever Shao goes, it will be a hot topic in the news. Therefore, I decided to stop returning to China and take the warship where Marshal Shao is visiting to follow him and interview him all the way.

When Marshal Shao visited the first stop of the Federation, that was the day I returned to the Federation with the group.

A month later, readers will see the photos I took. This team, tempered by the Western Expedition, is very different from ordinary warlord troops. Marshal Shao's new position also puts forward higher combat goals for this army.

In the future, this army will fight for the rise of the Qing Dynasty in the world. The Qing Dynasty led by Marshal Shao has already had the ambition to dominate the world. I believe that many old and declining empires will be frightened by this news.

Fortunately, the Federation is also a rising country, and has maintained a very friendly relationship with Shao. It is strongly recommended that President Johnson consider cooperating with Shao, which will bring huge benefits to the Federation.

The Qing Dynasty's Grand Council recently approved the memorial of Zhang Zhidong, the new governor-general of Shaanxi and Gansu, and ordered the governors-general of each province to build modern factories and welcome commercial investment from European and American countries with relatively low taxes.

The Qing Dynasty was intensively building more than 60,000 kilometers of railways, which were about to be completed and opened to traffic, providing excellent logistics conditions for the new factories.

Technical schools to train industrial workers to support the planned factories were also built in various places under the promotion of the Qing government.

It turns out that the technical schools in Hailing, Lanzhou and Luoyang have begun to supply experienced teaching personnel to the newly established technical schools.

The Qing Dynasty had a large number of smart, hardworking and cheap laborers. Once these factories were built, they would greatly change the pattern of world industrial production.

I believe that the Qing Dynasty will become the world's factory, and people all over the world will be able to enjoy modern, advanced and cheap industrial products.

The Qing Dynasty's opening policy will surely bring huge returns to investors. Investors in the Federation should not miss this opportunity to make a fortune, otherwise they will regret it.

Well, after all, most readers are not federal decision makers and investors, and readers will soon see the unparalleled beauty of Shao’s new concubine.

Let’s pray that the steam cruise ships on the Pacific Ocean will speed up. Shao’s new wife will not let everyone down.

I really envy the men in the Qing Dynasty who could marry many beautiful wives. It would be great if the federal government also enacted such a law - I'm just kidding, and I hope female readers won't scold me for this. Please understand the fantasy of a single man.

May God bless the Qing Dynasty and the Commonwealth.

——Mark Twain in Hailing.

At the military training ground next to Shaojiawei, the soldiers were collectively receiving the double pay promised by Shao Quanzhong.

The plan for disarmament had already been made on the ship, and the soldiers, after receiving their pay, continued to disperse with the generous rewards they had received from the Western Expedition.

The Guards Brigade did not enjoy the double pay treatment. None of the 6,000 soldiers of the Guards Brigade were laid off, and they had to escort Shao Quanzhong on his visit.

They only got two weeks of vacation. All the soldiers of the Guards Brigade came from Taizhou, and most of them were even from Hailing and Jiangyan, so they could go home and rest on the same day.

Almost all the ordinary soldiers were sent home, and the remaining officers and headquarters staff were reorganized into a reinforced brigade, with Shao Hengzhong as the brigade commander. The name of this reinforced brigade was "Model Training Brigade for Officers."

The training brigade has a month's vacation, and then they will gather in Fengyang. Hailing has developed rapidly in recent years, and now it is too densely populated and is not a good place for garrison. Fengyang has a large enough military camp to store a large amount of Huai Army's weapons and equipment, and there is a ready-made underground cold storage, so that the soldiers can eat fresh vegetables in this winter.

Shao Hengzhong was the newly appointed governor of Anhui. His office was not in Anqing, but temporarily located in Fengyang, so that he could take on the duties of both governor and deputy commander-in-chief of the Huai Army.

The other senior officers of the Huai Army, except Song Laosan, Grant, Emery and Wu Ziyi who were going to visit with Shao Quanzhong, all went to their respective posts with their personal soldiers. It seemed that the Huai Army was indeed reduced in size and most of them were disbanded.

When the news reached the capital, the Manchu royal family celebrated, as the world was finally at peace.

Your Majesty, you sacrificed yourself to feed the tiger and solved a warlord threat for the Qing Dynasty without bloodshed. Your Majesty, we support you!
Even Empress Ci'an in the Zhongcui Palace supported this. Presumably, among the bannermen, the only ones who opposed the Empress Dowager personally consoling Shao Quanzhong were the late Emperor Xianfeng and Prince Gong, who was imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court. They had no chance to speak out now.

As for the little emperor's secret dissatisfaction - a tablet sitting on the throne, no one paid any attention to it.

In the evening, Shao Quanzhong returned to the Prince's Mansion, this time to accompany Wen Xiu, and finally met his daughter Wen Xiaoqi, whose full name is Wen Meime.

The little girl was one and a half years old. Under Wenxiu's command, she staggered towards Shao Quanzhong and asked for a hug. She was so cute and adorable.

It's a pity that Shao Quanzhong is not a daughter slave. He looks perfunctory when holding his daughter. She is just a little girl, and her last name is Wen. She was destined to be a billionaire when she was born. Your father has been very kind to you.

The sons of the Shao family did not have so much money, but they all wanted to be officials and rule the world for the Shao family in the future. Shao Quanzhong valued each of them and personally cared for and trained them.

Shao Quanzhong didn't want to pay any more attention to Xiu'er, a little girl, as he just needed to be raised by himself. This made Wenxiu very sad, and she vowed to give birth to a son next time, and she gritted her teeth and tormented Shao Quanzhong.

The next day, Hailing University was filled with the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers.

Duolo Prince Shao Quanzhong, accompanied by his first wife Wenxiu and two concubines, came to the ceremony and cut the ribbon for the opening of Hailing University on behalf of Hailing University's honorary president and godfather Qiao Songnian.

The first batch of students from Hailing Bilingual Middle School graduated, and most of them were directly admitted to Hailing University.

Most of the professors and lecturers at Hailing University came from the Western Hanlin Academy in Xiaoxiangya, also known as the Imperial Academy of the Qing Dynasty.

The honorary president of the Academy of Sciences is Master Qiao, who donated Xiaoxiang Cliff, and the person who actually performs the duties of the president is the foreign Hanlin Mai Siwei.

Shao Quanzhong and Maxwell shook hands warmly. "Congratulations, Maxwell. My wife told me that you published your electromagnetic theory in the Xiaoxiangya Journal and have now become a world leader among scientists. I will recommend you to the court and grant you a title."

In fact, Shao Quanzhong was not interested in electromagnetism at all. Although he knew it was important, he could not see the value of military applications in the short term. It was just that with his status, he had to pretend.

Maxwell didn't think so. Shao Quanzhong's attitude of "not taking it seriously" was much better than that of most European countries. After all, there was enough money and official positions.

"Thank you for your attention, Your Excellency. The Xiaoxiangya Journal has become famous in the world scientific community. Many scientists have come to join the Imperial Academy of Sciences. By the way, Your Excellency, when you visit Europe this time, please bring a letter to an old friend of mine."

Well, telegraphs are so advanced nowadays, why do you still write letters?
Maxwell saw Shao Quanzhong's doubts and said, "My old friend is a great scientist who has made great contributions to the world. Only by writing a letter can I express my respect for him.

He is a dual member of the Royal Society of London and the Royal Academy of France, and has made significant contributions to chemistry. Once his research results in fertilizers become popular, they will solve the world's food shortage and hunger problems.

He is in poor health now and has returned to his hometown, the University of Munich, to work as a professor and recuperate. I have experienced the medical skills of Mr. Fei in Hailing, and in my letter I strongly recommended that he come to Hailing for treatment..."

Fertilizer? Food? Shao Quanzhong's eyes suddenly lit up.
