Zhang Yi took a look at Nanhai Kangyou, Liang Qichao and Lin Xu.
Zhang Yi’s heart was shocked. It was only yesterday that the tea club met Liang Qichao. Early this morning, Liang Qichao came to visit these reformists with Kang You and Lin Xu. It seems that there are many ideas in his heart.
Zhang Yi didn’t want to come to the door to meet him personally.
Far away, Liang Qichao shouted "Jian, Jian!"
Zhang Yi surrendered, "Brother Zhuo came to meet you early this morning, and his mind was too eager. Zhang Yi has seen SIRS."
Liang Qichao ha ha smiled. "Don’t be surprised that I was reprimanded by my teacher for returning to the posthouse yesterday, saying that I should directly lead my teacher to the posthouse for a chat or come and meet my teacher together. I am eager to come and meet you early. Come and introduce me."
Liang Qichao pointed to some middle-aged people and said, "Jian is my teacher, Nanhai Kangyou, and this is the hero of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Yi and Zhang Jian!"
Kang You hurriedly replied, "Kang You has seen General Jian."
Zhang Yi quickly saluted, "Mr. Nanhai is welcome to know Jing Xingru today."
Liang Qichao recruited the young guy behind him and said, "Jian, this is Qi Chao’s classmate Lin Xu, and I have a friendship with him."
Zhang Yi and Liang Qichao entered the room politely.
Kang You first said, "General Jian took the liberty to come here this time. Please forgive the students a lot for hearing the general’s name. It’s a pity that his ears are going to be calloused. Now it’s really a great blessing in my life to get what I want through Qi Chao."
Zhang Yi laughed. "It’s very kind of you, Mr. Nanhai. I’ve heard about Mr. Nanhai for a long time. It’s very lucky for Zhang Yi to get to know him today."
Kang You said thoughtfully, "The general students will go to Tianjin early in the morning to recruit soldiers when they hear that the general has stayed in Beijing for three days. The trip is urgent, so they won’t beat around the bush. This time, they came to think about the general’s advice on the reform and reform, and they also asked the general to give them advice."
Zhang Yiwen said with a sigh, "Brother Nanhai, as soon as you arrived today, I knew what you were going to do. I quite agree with the reform and hope that you will help us hand in hand. Our Qing Dynasty has reached the point of national subjugation without innovation."
Kang You asked, "So, general, should this innovation be stopped?"
Zhang Yi replied, "Brother Nanhai, I have talked about the tea house yesterday. The first thing to innovate now is to innovate the concept of being a servant. Nowadays, most of the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty since the Empress Dowager Xiaoqi County are old-fashioned and want to reform if they don’t change their concept. Can it be done? Since we are going to reform, we must touch the interests of those in charge. Can those people easily give up these interests? Just saying that a flag salary is tens of millions of taels of silver every year will not benefit Shui Piao countries, but can we get rid of it? Because all the key departments of the Qing court are dominated by Manchu nobles, they will never give in! Therefore, if you want to reform, you must let officials at all levels in the DPRK and the ordinary people know what reform is. What benefits can the reform bring to the Qing Dynasty so that we can rashly reform the country. Brother Nanhai’s prospects are not optimistic! "
Chapter one hundred and seven Discuss the political reform and decide to stay.
Kang You’s face was a little low after listening to Zhang Yi’s words. "So we have no chance of success in the Qing reform?"
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Brother Nanhai, the Qing political reform is inevitable, but how to promote the political reform, such as whether it is from the imperial court or from the people, or how to get to this road together? But if you want to think about it, I will ask you which ones of the Qing court support the political reform and which ones are opposed to it. What are their respective situations? Should Yu Zhen’s political reform start from somewhere? Should he change the economy or education first? "
Kang Youleng then sighed, "Yes, political reform is easier said than done. First, the Queen Mother is having a hard time, not to mention those Manchu ministers in military department. It is estimated that there are also old emperors who support political reform. There are too few Manchu civil and military ministers who support political reform. There are also Li Hongzhang and Zhang Dong. These people are also followers of the Queen Mother …"
Zhang Yi looked at Kang You with a bitter face and inwardly sighed. Kang You suddenly said, "Jian, I heard that now the emperor is supporting the reform, and he is bent on reviving the Qing Dynasty. Do you think if we support the emperor, please ask the queen mother to return to the government, and then carry out the reform?"
Zhang yi’s face became heavy. "Brother Nanhai, you made a slip of the tongue, but people like you and me can control it?" Once it happens, we’ll all die and be buried, and we’ll even bring trouble to the people around us. We must not act in haste. Nowadays, most of the imperial courts and armies are in the hands of the empress dowager, and most of the local ministers are followers of the empress dowager. Can we change it with a few words in front of us? Although the emperor also has some ministers’ support, how can it be done without reality in the hands of a lot of clean people? "
Kang You whispered, "Jian, things are different now. Isn’t this still about you? I know that people who are strong and loyal naturally support the emperor’s pro-government. Now that North Korea holds the emperor and orders you to train a new army, Ma Zhuang is naturally a strong soldier. I think this is not necessarily unsuccessful! "
Zhang Yi was immediately enraged by Kang Youle. These people are really a bunch of idiots. I’m really afraid I’ll tie them up and send them to the yamen.
Zhang Yinai said, "Brother Nanhai, you and I are all thinking about the country’s efforts to revive the Chinese people, and I don’t want you to beat around the bush. In recent three to five years, it has become more and more difficult to reform and reform. I am just a second company commander. When the Sino-Japanese war is over, these troops will all be built separately. I will be alone, even if my hands have some troops then. Are you still thinking about letting me challenge many governors in heaven? This is different from throwing straws at the wind. This matter is urgent and can’t be done. Or that sentence, even if it is true It involves profound learning, not only economics, but also ingenuity. Otherwise, the heavy obstruction and pressure of these vested interests will push us to perdition. "
Kang You has a gloomy face. He came with enthusiasm and didn’t want to be splashed with cold water by Zhang Yi. He was very uncomfortable.
Kang You displeased. "Is it up to you? Don’t we just sit back and wait for death? But now a tiny country has dared to knock on the door for days? After more than ten years, which country will not dare to bite us? I can’t imagine that Kenxian’s brother will be afraid of death. What if China is rich and strong even if we lose our lives? "
Zhang Yi has some disdain for him in his heart. You said it was easy to fight for your life. Then don’t run away on the day of the failure of the reform. Look at the other six gentlemen. Look at you. Kang You hid in the Japanese embassy early and sneaked away. In this case, Zhang Yi couldn’t tell it face to face
Zhang Yi said, "Brother Nanhai, what we have to do now is two things. The first thing is to make the Qing Dynasty build an enemy division so that the world powers can’t spy on me at will. The people of the Qing Dynasty want to make the Qing Dynasty stand tall and reform and strengthen ourselves, and we will have a stable external environment. Otherwise, even if we want to reform, we will always be bitten by the powers at any time. The second thing is to follow the example of western reform and strengthen ourselves. We must first be proficient in foreign countries and know the institutional economy of western countries. How many people are there now? Personally, I have been to western countries, and my understanding of western countries is not only from a few books. This is far from enough. If I want to reform and reform, I must go to the west to get the truth from Tang Priest. Even in recent years, my national strength has become stronger and stronger, which is caused by their sending a large number of international students to study in western countries. I just came back to life yesterday, and two wise brothers started to travel to the west to study. We really have a group of talents who understand the west. Otherwise, we can really succeed in the reform and reform, or we will succeed in the law only behind closed doors. "
Kang You nodded slightly and said, "There is some truth in saying that Zhuo Ru and others went to the West to study. I am still a little worried that learning from the West is very different from learning from China. I am afraid that if they learn something new, they will abandon the essence of their ancestors."
At this time, Liang Qichao said, "Don’t teachers hear that sages are different, but different things are different, so they are ready to change. Nowadays, countries around the world are developing with each passing day, and the Qing Dynasty is conformist, so where can we do it? We are all Chinese grandchildren, even if we learn western knowledge, we can abandon the dross and keep the essence so that Chinese culture can continue to flourish, otherwise it will be a stagnant pool."
Lin Xu also echoed and said, "Yes, the teacher Zhuo Ruxiong Jian said that we need to go out and learn the advanced literature of western powers. Since the teacher is the leader of the civil reform, these things are naturally clearer than us."
Kang You gritted his teeth and said, "Well, in that case, the teacher agreed to support you to study in the West."
Zhang Yi said with a smile, "I still want to remind you that you should not study in the West, and if you are interested, you should pay more attention to the reform and reform in the fields of engineering, economy, railway and banking. We need all kinds of talents, not just the political system!"
Chapter one hundred Recruit, build a new
Zhang Yikang and his party talked for a whole afternoon. At noon, they were entertained and finally said goodbye.
The next day, Zhang Yi rode directly back to Tianjin with a few followers. It was too tight when he couldn’t help it. He couldn’t even hold on to recruiting and retraining for more than a month.
The next day, Zhang Yi went to Tianjin to see Li Hongzhang directly.
When Li Hongzhang saw Zhang Yi, he laughed. "It’s an unprecedented honor to be strong and strong."
Zhang Yi quickly thanked him and asked, "Lord nave has been in Beijing these days. I wonder how the recruitment of soldiers in Baoding, Tianjin is going?"
Li Hongzhang laughed. "Ha-ha-jian, this recruiting thing is unexpected to you. I posted it on the day you got up. When I heard that it was you, Zhang Jian, a foreign war hero, who personally returned to China to recruit soldiers, the recruiting office was packed with people. In recent days, four thousand people have been recruited here in Tianjin. If it weren’t for Zhao Shixiao’s words, the recruits should have been strictly recruited, but even so, I think that five thousand posts here in Tianjin will be recruited at the latest, and Li Gang here in Baoding will also come to the news that these two days will be filled and then carried out
Zhang Yiwen’s exultation is a good thing. I was worried about the dissatisfaction of the quota before. I didn’t think it was almost full in five days.
Zhang Yi hurriedly laughed. "This is not relying on nave’s adult’s fame. Otherwise, how can the recruitment progress so rapidly?"
Li Hongzhang laughed. "If you are firm, don’t flatter the old lady. This is the face of your national hero. But someone outside said that you would like to fight with General Zhang even if you don’t have a salary. You just want to follow General Zhang to the front to kill the enemy. Let’s be a mighty Qing army. Hehehe, be firm. You must work hard to really train a good soldier."
Zhang Yi laughed. "Lord nave, you can rest assured that you will never let you down."
Two days later, Zhao Shixiao reported to Zhang Yilai, and now these five thousand new troops have been filled with such arrangements.
Zhang Yi said, "Brother Shixiao, don’t worry, it’s hard enough these days. Take a day off first. Compared with Brother Ligang, there are already full of soldiers. In the past few days, you will feel that two new armies in Tianjin have merged and we will unify the training."
Two days later, on the eleventh day, Li Gang led the ten new battalions to Tianjin. Now, 10,000 people have gathered in one place in these two places. Just eating and drinking Lazarus is busy enough. Fortunately, Li Hongzhang had the foresight to recruit soldiers early and had already packed out simple barracks to let these new battalions live in, otherwise Zhang Yi would be too busy to be exhausted.
In the evening, Zhang Yi was sweating, sitting on Li Hongzhang’s side, and Li Hongzhang laughed, "Why can’t you stay a little longer? Hehe, there is a sudden increase of 10,000 deployment, and everyone has to be in a hurry."
Zhang Yi is a little ashamed. It seems that he is still a little young. There is no problem in marching and fighting, but his weakness in dealing with him is exposed. If it is not for Li Hongzhang’s great help and fear of himself, it will really make people look at the joke.
Zhang Yi hurriedly thanked, "nave’s adult depends on your great help in this matter, otherwise I really don’t know what to do."
Li Hongzhang gave a hand and said, "It’s natural for him to have a long-term training. You can dispose of your hands now. Although there are plenty of trainers, there is a lack of logistics, trench and other personnel. So, the long-term old man will allocate some people from Tianjin to make it impossible for this new army to be confused. The court has also allocated the first sum of five hundred and two thousand to you. The number is not small, but it is barely able to support guns in Tianjin for a while. There should be barely enough hidden in Baoding’s Beijing Arsenal. Don’t worry, they are all Mao Se fast guns made by German Mao Se company. These guns are all long-term representations, but I’ll let you get them first. It’s heavy artillery, but there are not many. I can equip you with 40 Krupp heavy artillery and 60 ordinary artillery. So much. "
Zhang Yi hurriedly thanked him and said, "Thank you for your kindness."
Li Hongzhang gave a hand and then said, "We are all working for the sky. Let’s not say anything polite. I don’t know how many years I can live. This Beiyang will be handed over to you young people sooner or later. Work hard."
Zhang Yi repeatedly thanked him.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yi adjusted the deployment of the whole new army. According to the will of the court, Zhang Yi was appointed as the director of the general office of the new army and the commander of the Yizi Department. The five battalions of the Yizi Department were respectively the first battalion of the new army in Wu Peifu, the second battalion of the new army, the Cang Lang detachment leader, Zheng Hao, the third battalion of the new army, the Cang Lang detachment leader, Ling Qing, the fourth battalion of the new army, and the Cang Lang detachment leader Mo Qi. This is the first-class elite of the new army and also constitutes Zhang Yi’s future development of military basic forces.
Li Gang, the deputy company commander of Zhongzi Department, also brought the backbone from Lutai to practice the army.
Zhao Shixiao, deputy general commander of Haozi Department, filled in the backbone of Lutai training army in Wuying;
The vice-general of Dangzi Department is in charge of filling the backbone of the five battalions of North Korea, while Zhang Yiwei, Xu Huaijin, the general staff of the new army, is promoted to a higher level. Xu Huaijin’s theory of qualifications is definitely not good, but he can’t help but have outstanding ability to study in Germany. Then he accepted Zhang Yi’s strict training, which is actually the first assistant of Zhang Yi’s hand. It is a pity that Xu Huaijin is still being held back by Nie Shicheng and Zhang Yi has been able to make use of Nie Shicheng for a while.
Then Zhang Yi appointed the general martial arts instructor of Wang Wu New Army to be responsible for the assassination training of the new army martial arts.
