"Lao Duan really went to do it." When the ship arrived in Shanghai, Wu Chenxuan took his wife-to-be Wang Zijin to Shili Ocean Field for a temporary rest, and entered Beijing on a certain day, looking at the telegram in front of him, Wu Chenxuan smiled with satisfaction, "Now Brother Xiangcheng will no longer be desperate to be a gunman." ”

"I'm afraid that the whole Beiyang is cold, who will work hard for this court." Zhang Shaozeng is now a training envoy in eastern Zhejiang, a member of the general rank, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers named under his command, which can be regarded as a major force in the southeast, but the grassroots officers and soldiers in his hands are all graduates of the Zaolin Military Academy, and coupled with the rotation training system, it can be said that the officers and soldiers are on the side of the Wuyi New Army. The weapons and ammunition came from the supply of armaments from Shandong, and the caliber of 7.62 was not something that could be bought casually from the market now. The military salary comes from the sponsorship of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce and the raising of the local gentry, Wu Chenxuan can make Zhang Shaozeng lack food and ammunition in one sentence, and the military heart is completely empty, Zhang Shaozeng is not an ambitious warlord, he can climb to the throne of the * general in less than five years after graduating from the non-commissioned officer school, and his subordinates are more than 10,000 elite soldiers. "Now let's consider expanding north and west."

"I think it's okay, but the movements should be gentle, not too big. The main direction of expansion is to the west, and the focus is to consolidate the territory and adjacent areas of the six prefectures, and to the west to the border of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, I will let the Coordination Office and the Coordination Office cooperate with your actions. In the towns, it is necessary to rely on the chamber of commerce, befriend the squire, and stabilize the localities, and in the villages, establish armor protection, expand the reserve soldiers, and strictly guard against the infiltration of the party and revolutionary forces. ”

"Okay, I will act according to the instructions of the General Seat, and if the Party and revolutionary forces enter the new army, what should I do?"

"If the people who will meet the party are resolutely eliminated, they will be handed over to the Qing court as a chaotic party." Wu Chenxuan did not hesitate and gave instructions: "As for the people of the revolutionary party, if they find out, they will be sent out of the country, and if the revolutionary party does not know the current affairs, they will be handed over to the intelligence department for disposal." ”

"Yes, Lord. What about the north? ”

"It is enough to send a part of the troops to guard the direction of Taihu Lake, and the direction of the Yangtze River may not be clean in the future. Then don't mix with each other. In the six? In the direction of He'anqing, I will let the blue sky in northern Jiangsu develop to the south and find opportunities to open up the transportation line. In addition, we should control the port of Ningbo and keep the sea lines of communication unimpeded. ”

"Boss, I'm worried about whether there will be any risks for you to enter Beijing this time. Why don't we make some noise in eastern Zhejiang."

"I understand the kindness of the public opinion, this entry into Beijing is a compromise between the imperial court and us, my gesture has been made, if the imperial court does not plan to cause chaos in the whole country, they are responsible for my safety. In a word, you are in charge of the military outside, and I am as stable as Mount Tai in the capital. It is better not to get involved in political respect, and doing a good job in military affairs is the greatest help to me, and I thank you in advance. ”

"Boss, why do you say this." Zhang Shaozeng hurriedly stood up, "The general seat knows the grace of the encounter, and the respect for the public is unforgettable." The general seat will hand over tens of thousands of tigers to respect, and money, food and equipment are readily available. If Jingyu can't train an iron-blooded elite for Ming Gong, how can he be worthy of the general seat. But please rest assured, the whole town of Yizhen is looking north, Ming Gong has a call, and my brothers in Yizhen will not hesitate to go to the soup. ”

"I know, I know." Wu Chenxuan hurriedly supported Zhang Shaozeng, who was about to bow down, "Jingyu, please leave the matter here to you." You act calmly, don't panic, and I'm relieved to hand over Zhedong to you. If you have something to do contact me through the radio in time, you have to discuss with Brother Renjie more, Brother Renjie is several times more talented than me, and there is a lot of urgency, you have to communicate more with Brother Renjie. ”

"Obey the instructions of the Lord." Zhang Shaozeng stood up and saluted, and then saluted Zhang Nanjiang, who had been sitting on the side without saying a word, "Please also ask Brother Jie to mention more junior brothers." ”

Zhang Nanjiang stood up with difficulty on crutches, "I said that you Wu Daguan was in a hurry to recruit me to return to my hometown, and the feeling was that he had already arranged a job for me." Anyway, it should be regarded as doing good deeds for the township, so as not to burn the city in a few years. ”

"Brother Renjie is in charge, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are worry-free." Wu Chenxuan laughed

"Less of these Three Kingdoms, the whole thing is real." Zhang Nanjiang received heroes from all walks of life in Shandong all day long, dealing with domestic and foreign Taoism, and this dialect habit has been infected a lot.

"Brother Renjie, don't worry. There is a place for your Zhang family in the Council of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, and the standard textile factory in Shandong is also associated with Zhangjia, and the entire Jiaodong plus the three eastern provinces in the future are your exclusive sales scope. Of course Wu Chenxuan understood what Zhang Nanjiang meant, if he wanted the horse to run, he had to prepare the good materials first, who would play with you with the blank checks. Wu Chenxuan saw that Wang Zijin was playing the piano outside the window, and couldn't help but itch, anyway, the matter has been explained, so he might as well accompany his wife more. Zhang Nanjiang and Zhang Shaozeng also retired knowing the opportunity.

"Brother Renjie, who are you?" Leaving the Shandong Chamber of Commerce's hall in Shanghai, pushing Zhang Nanjiang's wheelchair into the carriage, Zhang Shaozeng couldn't help but ask in the car.

"Brother Jingyu, do you think that I, Zhang, am a villain who sees profit and forgets righteousness, and is a villain who sees money and has an eye for money?"

"Don't dare, sir, there must be a deep meaning in this."

"What a deep meaning, Wang Jian and Li Jing's old skills are not enough to worry about." Zhang Nanjiang sighed, "Brother Jingyu, you are a soldier, you might as well make contributions, anyway, there are General Staff Duan and the Five King Kongs above, so it won't be your turn." I'm different, the Zhang family, hehe, if it's a small family, it's just that. Brother Jingyu just need to remember not to give any special care to the Nanxun Zhang family, even if you help my brother, I thank you in advance. ”

"This..." Zhang Shaozeng also heard for the first time that someone refused to give his own green light, just now it was obviously a villain who asked for money and accepted bribes, but this time he became an honest doctor, Zhang Shaozeng was confused. Okay, follow the sir's orders. ”

"Mu Xiu is in the forest and has a huge foundation, which is definitely not a good fate." Zhang Nanjiang saw that Zhang Shaozeng was a square person, loyal and sincere, and couldn't help but say more: "General Zhang will naturally have some experience if he reads Zeng Wenzhenggong's articles more." ”

When he arrived at the place, Zhang Nanjiang was pushed into the door by his housekeeper, and Zhang Shaozeng heard a sigh the moment he turned around and got into the car, "Your heart is unpredictable." ”

Zhang Shaozeng shook his head, got into the carriage, and went straight to the barracks, but it was a pity that Zhang Nanjiang, like everyone else, didn't need to see the chicken thief smile that flashed on Zhang Shaozeng's face.

In fact, the Qing court began a new round of reform and restructuring after the Gengzi year, and in August of the 26th year of Guangxu, the Qing government ordered the whole country to stop the martial arts imperial examination; In September, all provinces were ordered to imitate Beiyang and Liangjiang to prepare for the construction of military training schools (Zaolin Military Academy also took the opportunity to turn into Shandong Military Academy, but everyone is familiar with the name of Zaolin Military Academy, and they have not changed their words); The next day, he issued an order to all provinces throughout the country to eliminate the old army and organize and train the "standing army," and thus the work of organizing and training the "new army" was spread throughout the country.

In order to implement the "new army" plan throughout the country, the Qing government set up a military training office at the end of the 28th year of Guangxu, and appointed Prince Qing Yixuan as the prime minister of military training, Yuan Shikai as the minister of military training, and Tie Liangxiang to handle it. The real power of the training office was held by Yuan Shikai. The Qing government also ordered all provinces to set up supervision and training offices to organize and train the "new army" for the provincial leaders. In September of the 29th year of Guangxu, the Military Training Department and the Military Department approved the formation and training of the "New Army" in 36 towns across the country, and promulgated the "Army Academy Measures." The following year, when Wu Chenxuan and other ministers of constitutional study went abroad, the Qing government changed the Ministry of War to the Ministry of War and incorporated the Military Training Department into it. In August of this year, the War Department formulated a huge plan for the nationwide organization and training of 36 towns of the "New Army," and it was planned that within two to five years, except for the four towns in (including the first three towns in Beiyang) and the three towns in Shandong (not counting the middle towns of the Wuyi New Army, because this is the basis for the formation and training of the Praetorian Guard), each of the other provinces would organize and train 1 to 2 towns. However, until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, it was only organized into 14 towns and 18 mixed associations, 4 standards and 1 town of the Praetorian Guard, about 260,000 people. Shandong, northern Jiangsu, and eastern Zhejiang, which are controlled by the Wuyi New Army, have of course all organized and trained the new army, and the front, left, and right towns of the Wuyi New Army have rightfully become members of the Great Fresh Army.

In addition, the Qing court also established the Ministry of Commerce, which advocated the establishment of industrial and commercial enterprises by officials and merchants. Subsequently, a series of industrial and commercial regulations and incentives for industry were promulgated, such as: the Qing Dynasty Commercial Law, the Articles of Association of the Chamber of Commerce, the Concise Articles of Association of the Railway, the Articles of Association for Rewarding Chinese Merchants, the Articles of Association for Mining Affairs, the Articles of Association for Company Registration, and the Articles of Association for the Trial Establishment of Banks. These charters allow the free development of industry, encourage the establishment of industrial and commercial enterprises, and encourage the formation of chambers of commerce. These regulations and practices are conducive to the development of national industry and commerce and to the prosperity of the social economy.

Last year, the Du branch promulgated the "Six Specified Measures for Cleaning Up Finances", which is responsible for unifying the revenue and expenditure of the central and local yamen, coordinating the repayment of foreign debts, assessing the silver numbers of the provinces, and stipulating the punishment for the provinces for making financial statements in a timely manner.

Zai Ze, the minister of the Du Branch, concurrently serves as the minister of salt administration, and oversees the performance of the power of the national salt administration and employment. In terms of the composition of the modern financial budget, this year, Zhao Binglin, the imperial historian of Fuzhou Province, asked the central government to draw up a national budget. Eventually, the Qing court prepared the first national budget for the first time three years later, and of course the Qing court did not have the opportunity to prepare the next year's budget, and that was not his responsibility, because the next year was the year of the Xinhai Qing court's Guan Zhang Daji.

Politically, the apparatus of power at this time has changed a lot. Before the New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government was basically a feudal political institution. During the New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty, great changes took place. This change is not only manifested in the 31st year of Guangxu Dynasty, the change of the Prime Minister's Yamen to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, the Military Training Department, the Patrol Police Department, the School Department, etc.; In addition to the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department, the following new names were established or renamed: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Degree Branch, the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of Law, the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, the Ministry of the Navy, the Military Advisory Office, the Information Yuan, and the Audit Yuan. At this point, although the Qing regime was still half-new and half-old, this was after all the beginning of the Qing Dynasty's political institutions entering the modern period. Wu Chenxuan and Wu Daguan are also honored to become the first CEOs of Daqing Telecom Group Co., Ltd., which has just opened
