c_t; Zhang Yi came out of the palace, and the sun was already setting. ( Advertisement)

Zhang Yi didn't stop, and rushed directly to Kang Youwei's post house.

He and Kang Youwei have only met once, but Kang Youwei left a deep impression on Zhang Yi, and Xu Zhang Yi is the mainstay of today's Qing Dynasty to promote the Restoration, a banner of the Restoration, because of the original words, left a deep impression on the reformists led by Kang Youwei, and at the same time he is a feudal official, with great power, and the future reform and reform are inseparable from Zhang Yi's strong support.

When Kang Youwei heard that Zhang Yi was visiting, he personally greeted him and led a group of disciples to welcome Zhang Yi into the living room.

Kang Youwei didn't have time to greet Zhang Yi, and asked anxiously: "Jianzhi, we have heard in the past two days that there are forces above the court that have jointly signed to impeach you, listing you as the queen of Fengtian, and the seven major crimes will be strictly dealt with with in Beijing, what is going on?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Nanhai, it's hard to explain this matter." It was only because I vigorously rectified the rule of officials in Fengtian, opened mines and factories, touched the interests of a group of people, and punished those Manchu relatives and nobles who were scheming and robbing in Fengtian, and cut down dozens of children who held the titles of the imperial court, and as a result, I was jointly impeached by the Manchu nobles and the conservative faction in the court. ”

"What?"

Kang Youwei looked incredulous, and said angrily: "One, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, those children of the Eight Banners are traitors, you punished them, what is the crime?" Second, opening a mine and running a factory is the only way for the Qing Dynasty to reform the law, they are so obsessed and stubborn, the court let such a group of people reign, the corpse is vegetarian, so will the Qing Dynasty still have a future? ”

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly: "Brother Nanhai, now that the time is not ripe for the reform and change, I have already said reads;." It is necessary to let Lafayette and the emperor feel the pain of conformism. Furthermore, now that the people in China have not yet been civilized, and the people do not support the reform of the law, we do not have the will of the Queen Mother and the emperor, and we do not have the support of the people, how can we reform and change the law? It's just a pity that I have just laid a little foundation in Fengtian, this transfer. I'm afraid that a year's hard work has been wasted......"

Kang Youwei also had a bitter face. asked: "Jianzhi, then what do you have and plans for next?" ”

Zhang Yi looked firm and said: "Brother Nanhai, now it's time for us to start a newspaper and advocate for the reform of the law, if we don't make changes, when can we promote the reform of the law and open a newspaper." The use of today's telegraph offices all over the country can be sold all over the country in a day or two, and this is of great help to us to open up the intelligence and vision of the people. I originally planned to wait for Zhuo Ru and Fusheng and others to return to China before promoting it, but now it seems that time is running out. We can't wait any longer, it is imperative to start a newspaper to promote the idea of Western constitutional monarchy and democracy! ”

Kang Youwei hesitated: "Starting a newspaper has long been in my plan, but now the bureaucrats and yamen in various places are not very supportive of our reform of the law." Once we set up a newspaper and publish it nationwide, it will inevitably be seized by various yamen, and even lead to a catastrophe of death......

Zhang Yi replied: "Brother Nanhai." This matter is easy, I suggest that you go to Fengtian, after all, it has been run by me for a long time, whether it is officialdom or the army, they are all my henchmen, even if the court has a strict will, it will definitely be able to maintain your safety and worry-free! ”

Kang Youwei's eyes lit up and asked, "Jianzhi, is what you said true?" Fengtian, can you still have an impact on what you say now? ”

Zhang Yi smiled proudly and said: "Brother Nanhai, you just have to rest assured, now after my vigorous rectification of Fengtian's governance and defense, now the General's Mansion and all the police systems and military systems are my descendants, as long as I say a word, even the successor Iktanga is difficult to do, not to mention that the consul of the German Consulate in Fengtian is still my best friend, with the most serious situation, you can enter the German Consulate to avoid the limelight, such a double insurance, what are you worried about?" ”

Kang Youwei laughed and said: "Jianzhi, I didn't misunderstand you, you are really the banner of the Qing Restoration, without your help, I don't know when I will see hope until the Restoration?" ”

Zhang Yi didn't have much hope for Kang Youwei and others, just a group of scholars, they didn't know the art of scheming at all, and they didn't understand the essence of Western development, they could only do a thing of waving the flag and shouting, and the others were too different, and they were not even as potential as Yang Du. “

It's just that there are still too few talents around Zhang Yi who can be used now, so he can only make do with them first.

Zhang Yi continued: "Brother Nanhai, since this is the case, then without further ado, you hurry up and arrange competent talents, rush to Fengtian, except for people, you don't have to prepare anything, I will repair a book for you, you hold the letter, go directly to Tang Shaoyu and Liang Dunyan, they will directly prepare the place and equipment for you to start the newspaper, as for the funds, I will also let Liang Dunyan prepare, you don't have to worry about it, you just need to run the newspaper well, in addition, in Fengtian you can directly use the telegram to get in touch with Zhuo Ru and others." , let Zhuo Ru and Fusheng write more good articles and send them over, and also translate as many Western academic works as possible, Brother Nanhai, you may want to know more about the national conditions of Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other powers. ”

Kang Youwei nodded and replied: "Don't worry, Jianzhi has written down all these promises, and I have made my own decisions in my heart." ”

Zhang Yi said: "Only Fengtian is a place, the influence is still too small, a drop in the bucket, Brother Nanhai, I know that you have traveled extensively, the great Confucianism of the Qing Dynasty, you have some acquaintance, and I want to ask you, more contacts, such as the Huguang area, Lord Zhang Zhidong is an open-minded official, well-spoken, and attaches great importance to education; In the Liangguang area, Lord Li Hanzhang is Li Zhongtang's brother, and he can also do something there, you don't have to worry about the funds, I will take out all the money. ”

Kang Youwei was stunned for a while and asked: "Jianzhi, you are no longer in the post of General Fengtian now, where did you get so much financial resources to support us, can you withstand it?" ”

Zhang Yi laughed and said: "I can't turn my fate into a person, Mr. Qiao Zhiyong, the richest man in Shanxi, provides 100,000 taels of silver every year for us to study abroad and start a newspaper, with 100,000 taels of silver, what are you worried about?" Even if you open dozens of newspapers, I can supply them, Brother Nanhai, you just put your heart in your stomach! (To be continued.)
