Zeng Jize sent a telegram back from Russia.This is good news, and Russia has formally agreed to the abrogation of the previous sublime treaty and the establishment of a new treaty, which had been negotiated for a long time.Zeng Jize and Russia agreed on a draft of 20 articles, as well as 17 articles of the land trade charter.The Siberian problem can be regarded as having been solved by more than half, and as for the future fight, it is also the fact that China has the upper hand in terms of reason."
The Russians are very talkative this time," Princess Katrina Kaaf smiled.President Meng was in a good mood because he was happy with Emperor Li's concubine recently, and smiled: "Their national strength is not as good as ours, since we have occupied Siberia, and we have not shown the intention of continuing to fight with Tsarist Russia, they naturally accept the reality, the key is that the consumption of the Russian-Turkish war is too great, and a serfdom country like them can't afford it at all." ”Princess Katrina Kaaf nodded, "The root cause of the war, in the final analysis, depends on the economy of the country, I remember the president said that. ”President Meng smiled: "What I said is not necessarily right, you write it all down, I feel pressure." ”Princess Katrina Kafu sneered, "If there is any pressure on the president to say it, it is the golden mouth and jade teeth, you must think about it before you say it, otherwise, the whole country of China will be in chaos." ”President Moe and Princess Katrina Kafu discuss political affairs, while Gege sits on the side, listening quietly.President Meng beckoned, and Jiegege smiled and came to President Meng's side.President Meng said to Princess Katrina Kaf: "A group of ministers who originally had their own ministers in the Qing court, and they can use them if they can be used, and they can also be sent to various places to be consultants."
Many of our officials have no culture, China is stable, and it has only been half a year, plus the time in Tianjin, in fact, not many people have been trained, at most two batches of primary school graduates.At the level of graduating from primary school, it is terrible to be the chief executive of a province, so the senior advisers of the Qing court still have to be used more, and it is better to be able to transform into a new-style official in China. ”Jie Gege said happily: "I have long wanted to tell the president about this matter, the speed of transformation must be faster than the speed of my own training, whether it is liberal arts or science, in the original imperial court, at least one of the ten officials can be retained, and all of them are put in the society, which is a major waste for Huaguo." ”President Moe looked at Princess Katrina Kafu with a smile, waiting for Princess Katrina Kafu to come up with an idea.Princess Katrina Kafu smiled: "Good is good, it is difficult to identify, and many officials are addicted to corruption, once there are people with bad deeds of corruption, I am afraid that they will bring all the new officials of Huaguo to ruin, and the officials of the Qing court are all from the eight-share system, the old ideas are deep-rooted, and if you want to become a new type of official at once, I am afraid that it will be difficult." ”President Meng sighed, "Yes, use as much as you can, take your time, don't be impatient." ”Geger thinks about everything simply, Princess Katrina Cafu thinks about everything thoughtfully, obviously, Princess Katrina Cafu's idea is always correct, and Geig doesn't speak anymore.However, President Meng's retention of consultants such as Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang is really good.The next day, President Meng took people to see the water conservancy in Gyeonggi, including Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang.As for President Meng's former nominal master Li Hongzao, President Meng never wants to see it again, these so-called clear streams, they live on the original eight-strand article for a lifetime, and they are of no great use.One of the two major things that the Beijing government is now trying to do.The first is to train the army, and the 26 divisions of the Chinese army are all regular armies, but the current construction tasks are tense, except for the three major ace armies, the fourth field division of the Chinese army, and the fifth field division of the Chinese army, collectively known as the five ace armies, the other regular armies still have not been able to completely detach themselves from local construction, especially in the case that the northeast railway network, the Mongolian longitudinal railway line, and the great northwest railway network have not been completely connected.As early as before Zuo Zongtang was determined to surrender to Huaguo and set off from Xi'an City, he wrote a lot of plans to President Meng.The same is true of Li Hongzhang, who has recovered physically, how hard the two of them worked in the Qing court at the beginning, and how hard they work now.Zuo Zongtang suggested to President Meng that the cavalry and the Chinese army should be mixed and organized, practice diligently in peacetime, and go to battle with the team in case of trouble.This second major event was a decision made by Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang during their journey to Beijing.They entered Hebei from the well of "Taihang Eight Mountains", went north through Zhengding, passed through Fangshan and Liangxiang of Shuntianfu along the way, and found that the water conservancy was not repaired, and the travel was difficult, and he Daoguang thirteen years of the first time to try to enter the capital, and Tongzhi seven years of the military line to see the very different, so I thought that the military industry can be used to dig a ditch in the Jun River.Zuo Zongtang ran the northwest, originally adopted the Western Han Dynasty generals to reclaim the border of the legacy, the officers and soldiers of the department, for the construction of water conservancy, rich experience, so after some inspection, back to Beijing immediately drafted on the draft of the president.Although it is a new system, the documents handed over by the first-level officials of Huaguo Province are still used to being called songs, and President Meng feels that it is a matter of title, so he continues to call it like this.The reason for the twist and turn is called "to transfer and bring various battalions, garrison in the suburbs of Qi, run business coaches and flag soldiers, and build water conservancy".Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang's suggestion to build and repair the Jifu Water Conservancy is tantamount to accusing the former Qing court of dereliction of duty by the governor of Zhili and Shuntian Mansion Yin, and Wan Qingquinoa, who manages Shuntian Mansion, can not be taken seriously.Li Hongzhang was a little uncomfortable, because Li Hongzhang was the original governor of the Qing court, but Li Hongzhang knew that President Meng liked the people under him to take the initiative to admit their mistakes, and if he wanted to regain his head in China, he would start with himself first.The two of them stated at the end of the fold: "If the decree is allowed, the ministers should be prepared at any time with the Prince of Alcohol, the Governor of Zhili, and the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, or at the same time, or one after another, and they will not dare to be stubborn." ”As for the relocation to, the defense area should be demarcated and the barracks should be built, Zuo Zongtang also specially suggested: "Where should it be stationed" This recital was personally decided by President Meng: "The Beijing government will discuss the performance with a proper discussion." ”President Meng so,Send the matter to the Beijing government,Now there is no name for Zhili,There is no name for Hebei Province,Beijing including Tianjin,All the management President Meng doesn't understand,Poor soft Hebei,Why is it divided into three pieces and Tianjin,Beijing,And Hebei government,There's no need,Beijing unified jurisdiction,This also greatly reduces the administrative agency。
Zuo Zongtang has a bunch of twists and turns.Not to be outdone, Li Hongzhang put forward a lot of development suggestions, compromised, and first stated to President Meng that "the benefits of the railway cannot be described in the light of the railway, relief, commerce, mining, donations, and travelers, and especially in the use of soldiers."
Because first, China's territory is vast, "draw the frontier and defend, it is impossible to prevent it, gallop back and forth, then the whip is beyond the reach, but as soon as the railway opens, the east and west, the north and south, breathe together, see the enemy's trend, the camera responds, although thousands of miles away, a few days can be reached, millions of people, a call to gather." ”Secondly: "If the army is combined, it will be strong, and if it is divided, it will be weak."
Based on the eighteen provinces of China, there are not many soldiers, and the salary is not insufficient, but here and there, each has one heart, and when there are soldiers, they are too busy to take care of themselves, and they are unable to pay and transfer troops.If the railway is completed, the momentum will be contacted, the blood will be connected, the troops will be cut and the salary will be reduced, and it will become a strong force, defend the border and the sea, transfer guns and artillery, and arrive in the morning and evening.The garrison soldiers can be a guerrilla journey, and the eighteen provinces are combined into one, and one soldier can be used for more than a dozen soldiers.In the future, the power of military power and salary will be in the imperial court, and the internal weight will be light on the outside, and it will not be controlled by the Xinjiang ministers. ”President Meng also boldly used Liu Mingchuan and was still appointed as an adviser to Taiwan Province, but he was no longer the governor of the original history.Liu Mingchuan believed that there were two main roads in China, north and south, and the south road was divided into two: one was from Qingjiangpu through Shandong, and the other was from Hankou through Henan, both of which reached Beijing.The north road is from the east of Beijing to Fengtian, west to Gansu, if you can not be at the same time, you can borrow foreign debts to build Qingjiangpu through Shandong to the capital of this one, and the Nanbeiyang telegraph, each other is the inside and outside.President Meng looked at these twists and turns with a smile, and experienced the fun of being an emperor, in fact, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, as well as Liu Mingchuan them, as long as they are better suggestions, they are the same as Huaguo's current policy.t1706231537:
