At this time, Xu Huaijin said, "Instructor, what do you mean by coming here? Tell our brothers about it, so that we can be confident. It will really be in big trouble."
Zhang Yi replied, "It’s very simple, Huai Jin. From today on, you should keep an eye on the armament school for me. I think your senior commanders have learned about it. Let’s finish their studies when it’s time. Take time to recruit a new batch of students. This time, you can’t work so hard. Duan Qirui and Wu Peifu are both very capable of letting them help you manage the armament school. You should spare some energy to gather our army. I must manage the troops well during this period."
Xu Huaijin nodded and replied, "I am a white instructor."
Zhang Yi went on to say, "Shi Xiang, Shi and Shi Jian, the three eldest brothers, you three led your team to leave the cavalry brigade temporarily from the day to go to western Liaoning and Mongolia."
Ping, if once you receive an order from Huai Jin, you will immediately March westward into Mongolia and let Huai Jin tell you in detail. "
Three people nodded and agreed.
Zhang Yi went on to say, "From today on, I will lead the tribulus away from the general office. When I am not responsible for all the information, I will ask Huai Jin for instructions. If you are not sure, you can inform me that Xu Huai Jin is usually in charge."
Nothing is more than nodding.
Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Yihu again and said, "A tiger, from today on, you will choose one hundred elites from Cang Lang and follow me to Beijing, and the first division will be handed over to Tan Feng to take charge of Cang Lang. Zhang Enyuan is still responsible."
When Zhang Yihu heard that Zhang Yi was going to take him to Beijing, he was very excited and said happily, "Okay, I know."
Tang Shaoyi asked, "General, these three blocks of coal and steel complex in Fengtian, Liaohe Oilfield and Fengtian Bank are the roots of our later rich country Qiang Bing. How do you arrange them?"
Zhang Yi said, "The Liaohe Oilfield Department of this simple coal and steel complex is in the charge of Bauer John. When I don’t, you have to finish cooperating with them. In addition, all the funds will be frozen without my order. Do you understand Liang Dunyan? In the future, all the expenses of the general government will be taken from finance, and the loans will never be moved."
Zhang Yi paused and said, "From today on, the Mukden Defense Department will be handed over to Xu Huaijin as the family leader. All personnel must act according to Xu Huaijin’s orders. Tang Shaoyi will be responsible for all things to Tang Shaoyi.
Lord "
Aside Zhan Tianyou said, "General, you have frozen all the loans. What should we do if we build roads next? We can’t move without money."
Zhang Yi said, "This simple all money is first raised by Shanxi businessmen, and then the interest of Fengtian Bank is allowed to be returned or the profits can be shared by private equity participation;" Second, in the name of Fengtian Bank, I invested two million and two thousand silver to continue the construction. I estimate that I will come back after half a year, and I will not arrange anything further. "
Zhan Tianyou exultation Zhang Yi went on to say, "Huai Jin dispatched a regiment from each of the four divisions and scattered it into the Juxiaoshan forest in all parts of Fengtian to rob me of local business trips, especially international business trips. You can also make an appropriate raid on Liaohe Oilfield, a coal and steel complex. Remember not to hurt people’s lives or damage equipment and mess up Fengtian for me. I want to see how Iktangga ends up and how Beijing Lafayette ends up!"
Xu Huaijin went on to say, "Instructor, I suggest that our army should increase its defense efforts to the Yalu River. If the trend of increasing troops has not weakened today, once the instructors leave their posts, I am worried that they will attack in troubled waters."
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "That’s good. Brother Ligang’s third division will be stationed in Chaoyang, and be careful to defend along the Yalu River."
Zhang Yi said to Shi Dakai again, "Sir, I have to trouble you to hide for a while this time. Iktangga, that’s the prime minister of the Qing court. I’m afraid that once he recognizes you, he will add to it."
Shi Dakai nodded and said, "Well, I know this." Zhang Yi looked at the crowd and said, "I’ve arranged everything now. You must be careful to keep your house in order not to get confused. It won’t be like this when I return six months later!"
Chapter two hundred and ten Into the palace face SAN
After half a month from resolute declaration to Zhang Yi’s return to Beijing after the handover of Fengtian.
Zhang Yi first met Prince Li Hongzhang and Prince Gong, and two people comforted Zhang Yi. Don’t be disheartened. When there is an opportunity, two people will naturally continue to recommend Zhang Yi to more important positions.
Zhang Yi has repeatedly thanked Prince Gong Li Hongzhang, and he is still full of respect and gratitude. These two people, one center and one minister in Xinjiang, echoed each other from afar, which contributed to the westernization of China’s modern industry. He was born and maintained in every way. In particular, Li Hongzhang was bent on taking over Beiyang for a hundred years, and Zhang Yi knew it well, but Zhang Yi also knew that Beiyang had fallen behind. It is difficult to change the world without a thorough change in such an ever-changing era.
Zhang Yi thanked the two elders and began to enter the palace to confess his sins. After all, he saw dozens of flags and expensive heads, which was a crime of overstepping his professional duties.
Zhang Yi has seen Empress Guangxu confessing to two people. Empress Cixi smiled and said, "Be firm, Mukden. Although you have taken drastic measures, it’s also a pity that the emperor doesn’t blame you. If you don’t lose heart."
Zhang Yi quickly gave thanks.
Cixi said, "Jian, are you twenty-two years old this year?"
Zhang Yi bowed down and said, "Galeries Lafayette really passed the New Year, and I am already 22 years old."
Cixi sighed, "How time flies! A year has passed in this way. This time, when you go back to Beijing, someone signed up and illegally recruited you. You really don’t miss your family. You are too young to think about the national crisis. After all, I will call you into the capital to sharpen your nature. But you are a rough diamond, but it is still too little to experience magic. You must sharpen your skills at your age. Only when you are only 23 years old, can you become a party. After all, there are too few Xinjiang ministers.
Zhang Yi said, "The lesson of Galeries Lafayette is that I am young and know that this time Fengtian is eager to rectify the bureaucracy and made a big mistake. If it weren’t for Galeries Lafayette and the emperor’s grace, I was afraid that my top hat would have been picked. I was really scared."
Guangxu said, "Jian, I heard that you opened a military equipment school in Fengtian and hired hundreds of German officials to teach."
Zhang Yi replied, "The year before the Emperor, when I followed the first commander, General Nie Lao, to fight against the Japanese pirates, I was deeply touched by the comparison of the military strength between China and China. The physical quality of the Oriental ghost looks worse than that of us Japanese, but the Japanese military strength has to be said to be a lot higher than that of the Huai Army. Even though Lutai Lian Army claimed to be the first elite of the Huai Army at that time, Nie Du claimed to be the first of the three famous generals, it was still slightly inferior to Gai because our army trained or stayed for hundreds of years in the cold weapon war era, while Japan sent a large number of international students to study in Germany. At the same time, China’s advanced military training body opened the Japanese Army NCO School to train a large number of military generals. Compared with us, it was the Korean minister who decided to start military schools and hire foreign instructors to train military generals immediately after the war. "
Guangxu asked, "What about the level of students in the armament school now?"
Zhang Yi replied, "The Emperor is not a false statement. When I formed a new army, I went to Tianjin armament school to select talents. I have some knowledge of Tianjin armament school talents. I think that Tianjin armament school graduates will be far more capable because we have better military instructors and stricter management. Now I command dozens of senior generals in Fengtian, and now they don’t stay as they did before. It can be said that their literacy has changed. Everyone can be independent and become a commander-in-chief to guard one side after a little baptism of war."
Cixi smiled and said, "Being firm is a good thing. It has driven out such a powerful career in just one year, and you paid 1.52 million silver to the court in one breath some time ago. Can people’s livelihood bear such a large sum of money?"
Zhang Yi replied, "The potential of Galeries Lafayette is far more than that. Last year, I vigorously rectified the bureaucracy and purged the officialdom, which made the yamen afraid to engage in false and random embezzlement. Without these moths, the taxation of Fengtian has naturally improved greatly. Moreover, many local businessmen have come to Fengtian for business and set up shops in the past year. Last year, the taxation of Fengtian surged from two million and two thousand silver to five million and two thousand. It is not difficult for me to pay 1.5 million yuan from it to enter Beijing! Lafayette has an national highway in agriculture; Nowadays, we are prosperous, prosperous and peaceful because we have been farming, but if we want to go to Qiang Bing, a rich country, we must take the road of prospering commerce and turning to factories. With money, we can buy weapons, and with technology, we can build naval guns. We all have a population of 40 million, and three of Wan Li’s rivers and mountains are produced and we are afraid of the English first western powers! They robbed us of Qing things, and one day we will get them back! "
Emperor Guangxu heard a face of excitement and even cheered excitedly. "You are worthy of being a swift horse, and you are worthy of being a pillar of the future of the Qing Dynasty. I sincerely want you to live up to me and never live up to you, Wan Li!"
Aside, Cixi’s eyes flashed and her face changed repeatedly, rain or shine.
Zhang Yi saw Cixi’s face out of the corner of his eye and was surprised to know that it caused Cixi’s suspicion. He hurriedly said, "Your words are too heavy for me to fear. You and Galeries Lafayette are still at the helm. I hope that I can try my best to make Galeries Lafayette work hard, but it is hard for me to repay Galeries Lafayette’s kindness to me. I have been in the center for ten years before I can achieve high-ranking officials. All of them are caused by Galeries Lafayette’s long grace. How dare I do my best to die!"
Cixi nodded and said, "It’s important that you prepare for this visit to Europe these days. Don’t lose our Qing majesty etiquette. You must handle affairs with your heart. He has nothing more to do. Later, you will give a banquet for the emperor of mourning. You are a welcome horse …"
Chapter two hundred and eleven Meet Kang You
It was already sunset when Zhang Yi came out of the palace.
Zhang Yi didn’t stop to rush to Kangyou Post Office directly.
He has only met Kang You once, but Kang You was deeply impressed by Zhang Yi. Zhang Yixu is the mainstay of the Qing Dynasty’s reform, and the banner of reform was built because those words left a deep impression on Kang You’s first reformist. At the same time, he was a provincial official in his government, and the future reform and reform could not be separated from Zhang Yi’s strong support
Kang Youwen listened to Zhang Yi’s visit and greeted him personally. He led a group of younger brothers to welcome Zhang Yi into the living room.
Kang You came or not. Zhang Yi asked in a hurry, "We have heard that there are forces in the imperial court in the past two days who jointly signed and disintegrated you. After you went to Fengtian, the seven major crimes will take you to Beijing for strict punishment. What is going on?"
Zhang Yi said with a wry smile, "Brother Nanhai, it’s a long story. Because I have vigorously rectified the bureaucracy, opened mines and set up factories, it has touched a group of people’s interests, and I have severely punished those who have taken away the Manchu dynasty’s relatives and nobles. As a result, I was jointly involved in the imperial court’s Manchu aristocratic old school. Fortunately, Galeries Lafayette only transferred me from Fengtian to accompany me to the DPRK."
"What?"
Kang has a look of incredible anger. "Have you punished those flag brothers and traitors for breaking the law and committing crimes with the common people?" Second, mining and setting up factories is the only way for the Qing Dynasty to reform and reform. They are so stubborn and stubborn. Does the court let such a group of people be vegetarian? "
Zhang Yi said with a wry smile, "Brother Nanhai, the time for reform and reform is not mature now. I have already said that Lafayette must feel the pain of sticking to the old rules. Moreover, the people of our country are not civilized now, and the people don’t support the reform and reform. How can we reform and reform without the will of the Queen Mother and the support of the people? It’s a pity that I just played a little inheritance in Mukden. I’m afraid a year’s hard work has gone down the drain … "
Kang You also asked with a bitter face, "Do you have any plans for Kenna?"
Zhang Yi said firmly, "Brother Nanhai, it’s time for us to start a newspaper reform and reform, which advocates that we can only promote the reform and reform when we don’t make changes. It’s very important for us to open people’s intellectual horizons in a day or two. I’m going to wait until Zhuo Rufu and others return home to promote it. Now it seems that time is running out and we can’t wait to start a newspaper to publicize the democratic ideas of western constitutional monarchy!"
Kang You hesitated. "Starting a newspaper has long been in my plan. Nowadays, bureaucratic government offices all over the country don’t support our political reform. Once we set up a newspaper country to publish, it is bound to suffer from the seizure of various government offices, which will lead to a fatal disaster. I am a person’s life and death, and I have a small burden on my classmates …"
Zhang Yi replied, "Brother Nanhai, this matter is easy. I suggest that you go to Fengtian. After all, I have been running it for a long time. Both the officialdom and the army are my confidants. Even if the court has a strict will, it will certainly be able to safeguard your security!"
Kang has a bright eye and asks, "Are you serious? Fengtian, what you say now can still have an impact? "
Zhang Yi smiled proudly and said, "Brother Nanhai, don’t worry. Now, after I have vigorously rectified the official defense in Fengtian, all the police and military departments in the general office are my own. I want to say a word. It’s very difficult for Iktangga to move. The consul of Fengtian German Consulate or my best friend has the most serious situation. You can enter the German Consulate to avoid the shelter. What are you worried about?"
Kang You laughed and said, "I am not mistaken about you. You really are the banner of the Qing Reform and Reform. Without your full help, I don’t know if I can see hope until then?"
Zhang Yi doesn’t have much hope for Kang You and others to come. A group of students just don’t know how to seek skills and don’t understand the essence of western development. They can also do flag-waving things. They are so different that they are not as promising as Yang Du. "
Even now, there are still too few talents around Zhang Yi to make do with it first.
Zhang Yi went on to say, "Brother Nanhai, in this case, it’s not too late. You should hurry up and arrange capable people to rush to Fengtian. You are not prepared for anything except people. I will write you a letter and go directly to Tang Shao and Liang Dunyan. They will directly prepare you to open a newspaper office and local equipment. I will also let Liang Dunyan prepare it without worrying about you. You can make newspapers run well in Fengtian. You can directly make newspapers such as Zhuo Ru and others get in touch and bring Zhuo Ruhe back to life. They will also write as many good articles as possible to translate some western academic works, Brother Nanhai.
Kang nodded a little and replied, "Be assured that all these things are recorded in my mind."
Zhang Yi said, "Just Fengtian’s influence is still too small. Brother Nanhai, I know that you have a wide range of friends, and you have known great scholars. Please contact me more. For example, Zhang Dong’s adult in Huguang area is well-informed and attaches great importance to education. Adult Li Hanzhang in Guangdong and Guangxi is Li nave’s elder brother, and you don’t have to worry about how much we need to take it out. "
Kang was startled for a moment and asked, "How can you support us with so much money now that you are no longer dedicated to heaven?"
Zhang Yi laughed. "Can I make alms? Mr. Qiao Zhiyong, the richest man in Shanxi, has 100,000 taels of silver every year for us to study abroad and start a newspaper. What are you worried about with 100,000 taels of silver? Even if you run dozens of newspapers, I should remember brother Nanhai. Just put your heart in your stomach! "
Chapter two hundred and twelve Iktangga sat down.
After ten days, Zhang Yi got up and left for Germany. Before he left, he specially sent a report to Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao about his visit to Europe, and asked Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao and other western study backbones to wait for him in Germany.
Zhang Yi boarded the German passenger ship Mukden and began to mess up.
First, dozens of bandits suddenly appeared in Mukden, and two horse bandits began to plunder everywhere, recklessly and specifically for businessmen from various countries in Mukden, and then some merchants were also strongly impacted. Then Iktangga ordered the Mukden army to suppress the bandits in Mukden.
Tang Keqiang, the company commander of Jinzhou, led the 2,000 elite bandits to encircle them. As a result, bandits were ambushed in Panjin area and surrounded by 4,000 or 5,000 bandits. If it weren’t for reinforcements, the army might have been wiped out. The news that Tang Keqiang was defeated made Iktangga fly into a rage and severely reprimanded Tang Keqiang, and then he sent heavily troops to western Liaoning to carry out large-scale bandits suppression.
This time, it was not ambushed by bandits, but the army just arrived in western Liaoning, and more than 2,000 people deserted. It is said that the Fengtian army has not been paid for three months. Who will work for the court without pay?
Zhao Shixiao, the leading general, complained about how the general government could delay paying for so long, which made the morale of the army lose its mind.
Iktangga was so anxious that he urgently transferred 102,000 silver from the general’s treasury to appease the morale of the army. However, after two wars, the Fengtian army has lost more than 5,000 people. The remaining troops are either stationed in the Yalu River to defend against the Japanese attack, or a group of old soldiers have no fighting capacity, or they are stationed at the border of Fengmeng to guard against the Mongolian rebellion.
Yiketang ‘a is facing many difficulties, but these are worse. Farmers have flooded into Fengtian in an attempt to cultivate land in Fengtian to fill their stomachs. According to the general government’s promise in those years, the general government must pay a large amount of silver grain to resettle these farmers. But now there is only less than 120 million silver in the general government’s treasury, and it is necessary to maintain the operation of government offices at all levels. Where can there be surplus financial relief for farmers?
