Chapter 207: Long Talk
c_t; Zhang Yi and Qiao Zhiyong had a long talk, each achieved their own goals, and the guests and hosts dispersed happily. [ran]
Zhang Yi was also very happy that he could make such a strong reinforcement, and he had some confidence, so Zhang Yi stayed in the capital for three days, in addition to taking turns to visit the bigwigs of all parties in Beijing, and then there were frequent meetings with Li Hongzhang to exchange some questions about foreign affairs.
Zhang Yi knows that in the current situation, only Li Hongzhang and Prince Gong can help themselves, Prince Gong as a Manchu noble, the first prince, sometimes have to consider the interests of the Manchu royal family as much as possible, but Li Hongzhang is more considerable, how to ensure that the Qing Dynasty is not humiliated, has always been the most tangled thing in the heart of this old man, but unfortunately, the weight of history made him finally infamous for a thousand years, regret for life, now with Zhang Yi, a tiger general, he is naturally willing to help each other, help each other, not to mention that Zhang Yi was still born in Beiyang and has this period of incense.
Zhang Yi repeatedly asked Li Hongzhang to transfer the group of young children who had returned to the United States for him, and Li Hongzhang also agreed to go through the relevant procedures for him, but these people were scattered all over the place, scattered in various yamen, factories, mines, and railways, even if Li Hongzhang single-handedly covered the sky, it was quite difficult to handle, and Li Hongzhang took more than a month to gather more than 40 of them, especially the assistant engineer Zhan Tianyou was presiding over the Tianjin-Lu Railway and it was difficult to withdraw, and there were several cases of delaying and renegotiating. After all, these people are quite talented, and not every one of them is unsatisfactory.
Zhang Yi looked at what was in front of him
This group of people are all in their early thirties, and they are in the prime of life, but they are all trapped in the ink tank of the Qing Dynasty, and their talents cannot be fully displayed.
Among these people, there are many talented talents such as Tang Shaoyi, Wu Yangzeng, Huang Kaijia, and Liang Dunyan, Zhang Yi's heart is full of joy, which is especially happy than Li Hongzhang sponsoring him one million taels of silver.
Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "Jianzhi, this group of people was transferred to you by the old man with a lot of effort, and there are not many people's eyes in the middle, even so, Zhan Tianyou can't transfer you because of his important duties, so he can only wait for the Jinlu Railway to come to an end." is like Huang Kaijia, but the person Xingsun values the most, was once Xingsun's secretary, and for him, Xingsun gave me red eyes; Not to mention Liang Dunyan, this was Zhang Xiangshuai's cronies, and I worked even harder to say that Zhang Xiangshuai was moved to release people, these are all momentary handsome, you have to use it well, don't let down the old man's heart. ”
Zhang Yi bowed down and said: "Zhang Yi thank you for your kindness, I will definitely not disappoint you when I go to Fengtian this time!" ”
Li Hongzhang said: "Since this is the case, then these people will be handed over to you, you have to arrange a good position for them, don't let them be disappointed in you." :
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I already have a plan in my heart, after arriving in Fengtian, I will take the lead in several fields such as industry and commerce, mining, military, finance, railways, etc., these are their specialties, and they will definitely not let them have nothing to do, but will only make them busy at that time and have no time to eat, he."
We will be proud of what we have achieved in our respective positions! ”
Li Hongzhang asked with a smile: "In this way, Jianzhi already has a systematic development plan in his heart, let's listen to it with the old man." ”
Zhang Yi smiled: "I was about to ask Lord Zhongtang for advice." ”
Li Hongzhang motioned to Zhang Yi to continue, Zhang Yi replied: "After going to Fengtian, I will first start the development plan of Fengtian, recruit displaced people in the Guannei, and reclaim wasteland in Fengtian. ”
Li Hongzhang nodded and said: "What you said is reasonable, talent is fundamental, with people, there can be taxes, and only then can there be money." ”
Zhang Yi said: "Second, I have made an agreement with the German Empire to allow the consortium of the German Empire to build factories and open mines in Fengtian, but the condition is that the Qing Dynasty must participate in the control, and we will introduce the capital, technology and engineers of the German Empire, so that our heavy industry can develop beyond the norm, and only then can we have the ability to develop weapons and strengthen national defense." ”
Zhang Yi continued: "Third, announce the tax exemption policy, within a year, Fengtian Province will not levy a penny of tax on newly established enterprises, and encourage the private sector to open factories, with which we can really have financial resources." ”
Li Hongzhang nodded approvingly.
Zhang Yi said: "Fourth, we should set up a new type of education, prepare for the construction of new military schools and Western-style schools, and invite scholars and engineers from Germany and other countries to teach and cultivate talents. ”
"Fifth, the construction of a military factory is conditional on the invention of several new weapons
In exchange for Germany's assistance in setting up an arsenal and producing weapons and ammunition, this is our guarantee for the future, without weapons and ammunition, our national defense is impossible! ”
Li Hongzhang then nodded and asked: "What about training the new army, this is what you are best at, now that the emperor's will has come down, appoint Yuan Xiangcheng as the general office of the Great Fresh Army, give priority to selecting talents from the Tianjin Military Academy, hire German instructors, and train the new army in Tianjin, this lottery has nothing to do with you, what do you plan to do next?" ”
Zhang Yi replied: "Organizing and training the new army, that is a matter of the imperial court, more than 10,000 new troops under my command have been formed, although not as elite as the armies of the Western powers, but it is also an iron-blooded army that has always recruited and can fight, and the military is not what I want to do in a hurry, anyway, in the past two years, Tsarist Russia does not dare to think about the northeast to do it, they are not ready." ”
Li Hongzhang praised: "Good! I still see it thoroughly, the Trans-Siberian Railway of Tsarist Russia has not yet been repaired, and it is not realistic to want to transport troops to the three eastern provinces on a large scale. ”
Zhang Yi smiled and said solemnly: "Lord Zhongtang, if the Tsarist Russian army in Eastern Siberia really dares to stir up trouble on the border of Heilongjiang, then I will personally lead the army and clean them all up. ”
Li Hongzhang laughed and said: "Okay, courageous, worthy of being the world-famous Chinese tiger!" Zhang Yi smiled modestly: "The adult is overrated, but it's just a joke of Westerners." Li Hongzhang said: "Since you have been."
With careful arrangements, I can rest assured, you let go and do it, above the court, I will do my best for you, you don't have much time, the invitation of the German Emperor Wilhelm III has arrived in Beijing, invite me and you to visit Germany as soon as possible, the court has already answered, we will not have long to go abroad!
