In the first year of Guangxu, Shen Baozhen returned to Beijing.This time, President Meng did not say much verbose, and directly wrote a warrant appointing Shen Baozhen as the general manager of Nanzhong, responsible for supervising the Nanyang Naval Division.Princess Katrina Kafu said curiously: "Does the president plan to give an order directly Shen Baozhen is still an official of the Qing court, if he refuses, what will happen to the president's face Moreover, is it to let the officials of Huaguo be the right and let Shen Baozhen be the deputy" President Meng smiled: "No, I have met Shen Baozhen, he is not only a person who has the country in his heart, but also a person who has the nation in his heart and takes the overall situation into account."
This is different from Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang. ”President Meng's vision of people is indeed very accurate, and the Chinese army was able to use troops smoothly in Taiwan and the Ryukyus, not only because the Chinese army had strong combat effectiveness, President Meng had a good schedule, and Shen Baozhen took the overall situation into account and did not fight with President Meng in Fujian, but also had a lot to do with it.In the original time and space, Zuo Zongtang founded the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau in 1866.Shen Baozhen took over in 1867, and since then no progress has been made, which is basically a waste of money and time.But President Meng did not doubt Shen Baozhen's ability, he had visited the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, and was especially satisfied with the series of courses compiled by Shen Baozhen, Shen Baozhen was the original talent of the Qing court, starting from scratch, it was not easy to do this.The most criticized place in this original time and space of the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau is not only a waste of money and time, but the most terrible thing is the use of nepotism, and the Beiyang Fleet is all from the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau.But President Meng does not think that this point is related to the problem of the Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau itself, the inferior nature of the Chinese is that they like to form gangs, which is a common problem of warlords, and all the old armies are inevitably affected by this problem, so the Beiyang Fleet is led by a cavalry general Ding Ruchang, with a group of students who have been mixed in the Fuzhou Ship Administration Bureau for several years, and the foundation is very weak, and then they go abroad to gild, and then they form the team of the Beiyang Fleet, this kind of gang, all composed of Fujian people, even in the original time and space, the next hundred years, until the hands of Lao Jiang, The Chinese navy has always been in the hands of the Min people, and it is all caused by this era.This makes President Meng feel hehe, you are a sailor school, and it is located in Fuzhou, of course, they are all Fuzhou locals, this is not surprising, the current China is different, China's highest military academy is the Hongpu Military Academy in Danzhou, army and navy officers, are selected from the whole country, are selected from outstanding high school graduates, naturally there is no regional problem, and, under the leadership of the Huacui party, even if there will still be a hometown concept, there will be a regional concept, but also put in the psychology, Huacui Party internal, Very sensitive to regional factions, because President Meng thinks that this kind of faction is completely the idea of the countrymen, and is the most disgusting, once it is found that there are regional gangs, they are usually demolished, degraded and dismantled your small team, and those who violate the law will not be tolerated, and they will be handled in accordance with the law.If you don't want to climb up, just fuck off.At present, the largest proportion of Chinese officials are Zhejiang and Jiangxi, but there are not many local officials in these two provinces, but they are scattered everywhere.A group of students from the Beiyang Fleet in the original time and space definitely do not exist in this time and space, except for a Meng president who admires Deng Shichang who will be retained as a local instructor, the others, none of them can come out, because the Chinese fleet has been established a long time ago, and all the naval officers are from the mainland.President Meng's Hongpu Military Academy is the highest military academy in China, President Meng in the army, do not appreciate staying abroad, you can directly find foreign officers to help teach, why stay in the army of the Chinese army, it was originally produced with the help of the Germans and Americans, the same is true of the navy, now the proportion of foreign instructors in the Chinese army, has been almost negligible, there are more than 100 foreign instructors in the navy, and the army is left with the Grand Albert Kirchbach instructor of the General Staff.In the original time and space, the Beiyang Fleet lost to the Japanese Combined Fleet, President Meng believes that it is still a problem of the country and the government, and it is unfair to blame all the corrupt waste officers of the Beiyang Fleet.Whether it is military, or industry, the core technology, need their own talents to ponder slowly, at this point, President Meng has never had a fluke attitude, do a solid job of their own educational foundation, and vigorously introduce foreign talents, these two points are very important, luck psychology is engaged in education, the enemy of scientific research.In the original time and space, Shen Baozhen supervised the coastal defense of the Nanyang Seas, and the construction of China's modern navy has since been on track.Another important aspect that prompted the Qing government to review the pros and cons of its policy of administering Taiwan was to recognize that the danger was primarily from the outside, not from the inside.In the past, the Qing government believed that "Taiwan's danger rate was endogenous and rarely from outside" foreign aggression, and officials began to attach importance to Taiwan, calling it "the gateway of the seven provinces," "the key to the North and South Oceans," and "the first gateway to China."
Shen Baozhen and Ding Richang have repeatedly called for tighter fortification against Japan's invasion of Taiwan, and Premier Yamen has also pointed out that "the management of Taiwan has a real bearing on the overall situation of coastal defense."
This is a new understanding of Taiwan's status.In this regard, Shen Baozhen feels the most deeply and transforms the most.After Shen Baozhen held Taiwan, he immediately embarked on further development, and implemented four major measures: opening the ban, opening the government, opening the road, and opening the mine.Just because of these, President Meng is willing to hand over the first position of Nanzhong to Shen Baozhen, and there is a Huacui Party Committee.Of course, Shen Baozhen really wants to be the first in command in Nanzhong, and he must also accept the party's training and accept the ideology of the Huacui Party before that.President Meng takes his thoughts very seriously.In the past two days, President Meng was in the palace, he didn't go to listen to the imperial meeting of the Qing court, and the Qing court didn't have anything worth President Meng's attention, and the administration of the Qing court was restored, and the ruling area of the Qing State could naturally be stable.In fact, in China, it is very difficult to have a major uprising, and it is difficult to control it, such as the system of the Qing court, in fact, there is no imperial court, there is not much difference, the ancient information is not well-informed, relying on the governors at all levels.The governors don't dare to rebel casually, as long as the governors fulfill their duties, doesn't the Qing court want to do it and there is not much difference "Didn't you say that you were going to Qinhuangdao" Jie Gege asked President Meng with a smile.President Meng sweated, "You are willing to let me go, what about the Queen Mother of Nangong" Since the day before yesterday, after what happened to Emperor Li's concubine, Emperor Li's concubine is now hiding from President Meng, which makes President Meng very hurt."
Huang Eniang said that she didn't want to see you, so she asked you to go to Qinhuangdao early."
Geger covered his mouth and smiled.President Meng sighed, and his heart was slightly clouded.This starts with the official structure of the Qing court, the emperor is still there, and these officials who have risen through study have hope.Shen Baozhen did not hesitate, with Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, the two powerful factions as examples, the Qing court ministers actually knew how to choose, many people wanted to come to Huaguo, the key is that they don't need to, they have to start all over again, so there is no way to come.Not only did Shen Baozhen happily go to Fujian to take up his post, but also Li Fengbao and other foreign ministers, who were also the focus of President Meng's snares.Li Fengbao won the glorious glory of the European General Office, which is an honor that can be ranked with Shen Baozhen and Guo Songtao among the members of the non-Huacui Party.President Meng ordered that the naval branch of the Hongpu Military Academy be divided into Qinhuangdao and merged with the Beizhong University of Technology, which was also used as the highest military academy.Considering that the highest-ranking foreign staff officers of the Chinese army are all from Germany, President Meng proposed to the British side to hire Lang Weili.If Lang Weili was in the original time and space, he would not have appeared until 1879, with the four mosquito gunboats purchased by the Qing court.But President Meng knows Luang Weili's ability, and more than ten years ago, Lang Weili participated in the Li A fleet and came to China, which can be regarded as an understanding of the situation in China, so this time, President Meng used diplomatic means.Considering that China is a friendly country and that it has a relationship with the member countries of the South Seas Treaty, the British readily agreed, and a lieutenant commander had no reason to refuse.t1706231537:
