As soon as Qiao Zhiqing finished tidying up the study, Wei Ziyou walked in excitedly.He always carried a large number of books with him, and the books he had read in later generations together were not as many as he had read in a month.All the books are numbered and arranged in order.The maids didn't know his habits, they didn't know how to place them, and he still did everything himself."
You stinky girl, you can't let me be idle."
Qiao Zhiqing washed up under Xiao Ru's service, and then teased Wei Ziyou.Xiaoru was lonely, Qiao Zhiqing simply brought her over when she arrived in Beijing, and just let her go up after the school in the capital opened.Xiaoru has just entered her third year of high school this year and is about to face the college entrance examination.After serving Qiao Zhiqing, he went back to his hut to review his homework."
Your Excellency President, it's not that I won't let you rest, it's that Dongying's side is making too much trouble, if you want to blame them, blame them" Wei Ziyou smacked his tongue, and after handing the emergency military report sent by Dongying to Qiao Zhiqing, he looked around in the study.This place is the former office of the Manchu emperors, and the materials used in both the building and the furniture are very exquisite.Even the porcelain used is fired in the official kiln of Jingdezhen, which looks very exquisite.Compared with here, Nanjing's Hong Xiuquan Mansion is like a landlord's compound, with no connotation at all."
Dongying" Qiao Zhiqing muttered in his heart, flipped through the military newspaper and read it carefully.This military report was sent by Li Jun, commander of the Marine Division stationed in Japan, and after the East China Sea Fleet returned to the mainland to participate in the battle against Jiangbei, Japan was left with only 10,000 Marine Divisions stationed in the army.After relieving himself, Japan's Meiji Emperor began to ponder how to expel the power of the Huaxing Army.After all, there are more than 40 million people in Japan, so 10,000 Huaxing troops are stationed here.Meiji is like a man on his back every day, racking his brains to pull out more than 10,000 people.After the Westerners' influence in the Far East was completely expelled by the Huaxing Army, Heaven opened another window for Meiji.At this time, the Chinese stationed in Taiwan inexplicably came to the door, promising to help Meiji drive out the Huaxing army.Not only can it help Meiji train soldiers and horses, but it can also provide weapons and ammunition.For the Meiji era, it can only be explained by the apparition of the god of sunshine.What made Meiji ecstatic the most was that these Taiwanese Chinese did not want any benefits.Meiji's cabinet immediately convened a meeting to discuss the purpose of these Taiwanese Chinese.Under the analysis of the cabinet members, all the problems were solved.Among them, Takasugi Jinsaku is known as a China expert, and he also sent Japanese businessmen to collect and sort out a large amount of information.Under his constant explanations, it was finally determined that these Chinese in Taiwan were sincere in helping Japan deal with the Huaxing Army.Because they belonged to the imperial court in China, it was Li Hongzhang, the leader of the Chinese Huai Army, who led this part of the people.At the beginning, Qiao Zhiqing fought with him in Jiangnan and completely defeated the power of the Huai army.In the end, Li Hongzhang was forced to go east to Taiwan, where he recuperated and established a relatively complete military industrial system in Taiwan through continuous trade with foreigners.The military factory in Tainan is now steam-powered, producing ironclad warships and state-of-the-art breech rifles.He recruited troops in Tainan, and now he has trained 100,000 new-style Huai troops in full accordance with the establishment of the Huaxing Army.The emperor listened to Takasugi Shinsaku's report, and his heart was about to jump out.Li Hongzhang's purpose in cooperating with them was to get Japan to provide a source of troops, because after all, Taiwan is a province with a sparse population, and it is not easy to raise and train 100,000 troops.And now the Meiji government is being exploited by the Huaxing army, and it lacks nothing, that is, there is no shortage of people.The two companies immediately cooperated, and Li Hongzhang sent instructors to Japan to train the Japanese army, and also provided weapons and ammunition.After the training of the army, he was the first to take the more than 10,000 Huaxing troops stationed in Japan.Meiji did not expect that someone in his cabinet had already been bribed by the shogunate.All the military information continued to reach the shogunate, and Qiao Shan Xing was shocked and hurriedly sent someone to inform Li Jun, the commander of the Marine Division.Li Jun informed Qiao Zhiqing of the reason for the incident, which was the military newspaper that Qiao Zhiqing was holding."
I didn't expect Li Hongzhang to take the opportunity for a few years, and now he can't help but come out and toss.I haven't been free to deal with him, just to give him a chance.Now that he has colluded with the Japanese to deal with Huaxing Army, he can't blame him, a student, for turning his face" Qiao Zhiqing closed the military newspaper and scolded secretly, constantly thinking about which side of the problem to solve first.Now that Jiangbei has been decided, financial assistance is needed everywhere.Although Jiangnan has regained its vitality in recent years, it is far from the point of supporting a war on two fronts.The Qing court left him with a mess to pat his ass and leave, and he couldn't even find a tael of silver in the treasury.The only thing that comforted Qiao Zhiqing was that he could dig out 100,000 taels of silver in Japan every month and bring it back, but the 100,000 taels of silver were placed in front of such a big hole, and he couldn't even plug a gap between his teeth."
Brother Qiao, how do I feel that you are very nervous, is this matter very important, we are still afraid that Li Hongzhang will not succeed" Wei Ziyou looked at Qiao Zhiqing's face for a while and then darkened, not knowing what he was thinking, and couldn't help but worry about him."
Li Hongzhang has the talent of a prime minister, and he is also constantly learning and improving, which is more terrible than others.If it weren't for the rise of our Huaxing army, their Huai army would be the most elite army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.It's only been a few years, and he can toss such a big move in Tainan, of course, it can't be underestimated.Now the only way to completely strangle his power is to take advantage of his fledgling.Otherwise, in a few years, it will be a big trouble for our Huaxing army. ”Qiao Zhi explained to him lightly, his eyes staring at the globe on the desk.This globe is a private thing in the royal collection, and it is more accurate than the world map that Qiao Zhiqing now has in his hand.The latitude and longitude are also marked, and most of them, except for the North and South Poles, are similar to later maps.When Wang Shijie was counting the cultural relics of the Forbidden City in the Forbidden City, he found this thing from Cixi's Yanxi Hall.I don't know which country's envoy gave it to the Qing court, and Cixi just put it together with the vase as an object to play with."
But we have just moved the capital to Beijing, and everything is in ruins, and there are places where money is needed.Now we have to face the battle to recover the Kanto region, if we open up another battlefield in the East China Sea, wouldn't it exhaust the national strength" Wei Ziyou's small face became serious, and in connection with the military situation in the past few days, he immediately grasped the key to the matter."
So there must be a trade-off in everything, not only to send troops to the Kanto region, but also to Russia recently sent troops to the Outer Mongolia region.These things are really troublesome, and no matter which side is solved first, the other parties will take the opportunity to develop and grow. ”Qiao Zhiqing closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, sorting out all the questions back and forth."
In my opinion, neither the Qing court nor Russia is afraid, the Qing court is a dilapidated sailing ship, as the so-called accumulation is difficult to return, and no matter how much it is repaired, it cannot change its sinking trend.I found some materials and studied the history of Russia, although they are a new bourgeois power, but because of their geographical location, the front line with China is too long, and they cannot devote the whole country to invade China for a while.I'm afraid that after they take Outer Mongolia, it will take several years to digest it.It's Li Hongzhang, I heard Brother Qiao say this just now, it's really not to be underestimated.If he really forms an alliance with Japan, it will bring great hidden dangers to our Jiangnan.Jiangnan is our tax center, and if there is a little mess, our whole game of chess will be messed up.So I think we should deal with Li Hongzhang before he is fledgling.After the East China Sea is pacified, we will make every effort to solve the problem in the north. ”Wei Ziyou analyzed it with Qiao Zhiqing in a clear manner, and it turned out to be exactly the same as what Qiao Zhiqing thought in his heart, and Qiao Zhiqing unconsciously looked at her with admiration."
You're right, it's a pity that those Outer Mongolians are going to give up their home to Russia for the time being" Qiao Zhiqing sighed, took out a golden pen from his desk and sent the Japanese marines back to the military report.This golden fountain pen is also the royal gadget of the Qing court, and I don't know which country's envoy offered it, and it is also inlaid with more than a dozen diamonds, which is very expensive.But the Qing court only regarded this fountain pen as a playful thing, and there was no ink stained in it."
Brother Qiao, I find that your heart is getting softer and softer now.If you want me to say that Outer Mongolia is a group of alien races, the Yuan Dynasty also slaughtered tens of millions of our Han people.Their children and grandchildren have a retribution, and God is punishing them, and we don't need to feel guilty" Wei Ziyou looked at Qiao Zhiqing's sad expression, and couldn't help but complain indignantly, giving him relief."
Then do you know what the relationship between Russia and Mongolia is" Qiao Zhiqing was amused by this quirky girl and wanted to test her understanding of Russia."
Of course, you know, Russia was ruled by the Golden Horde of Mongolia during the Southern Song Dynasty.Later, under the leadership of Ivan III, the principalities, headed by Muscovy, overthrew the alien rule of the Golden Horde and won national independence.Muscovy then annexed other principalities and expanded to become what it is today.Therefore, the Mongolian people have a calamity, which is the cause of the previous life, and their descendants will suffer this bitter fruit. ”Wei Ziyou said it familiarly, and he didn't know how much time he usually squeezed out to study, and he was very serious and hardworking."
That's good, but you have to remember that you have to take the initiative at all times, and you can't expect your enemies to act according to your will.If Russia takes Outer Mongolia, it will definitely march to Inner Mongolia.Although they had a long front, they had difficulty in supplying.But you don't forget that there is also the support of the Qing court in the back, and these are not problems.Is there any way you can get them to stop the pace of progress" Qiao Zhiqing reminded Wei Ziyou, and another problem tested her.He trained Wei Ziyou as the next female prime minister, and he impatiently instructed her on these issues
