19. Secrecy is not easy to investigate, and the New Deal is not fun

Social chaos, population migration, behind-the-scenes privacy, missing people, old things, changes in time, opposing back-ups, etc., because they are in different forces and have experienced the passage of time, so many times they don't know what the other party has done and what they are doing now; History and privacy have buried too many secrets, so the intelligence department of the East China Sea State under Fu Ning has failed to investigate many secrets of the other party after too much effort. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info For example, Wu Sizhao, so far only the intelligence station in Malacca has simulated a possible portrait, and other information is always sparse and plausible; But what Fu Ning could speculate was that Wu Sizhao had already set his sights on Yan Shantang and was preparing to bite Yan Shantang at any time, but Yan Shantang couldn't deduce how much Wu Sizhao knew and how he would deal with Yan Shantang?

The development of chain roller tractors in the East China Sea country, the low-power chain roller tractor has been off the assembly line thousands, and the supporting harvesting and pear harrow machinery is gradually increasing production and improving, the first thing to be applied to the public farms in the north, Fu Ning can already foresee the changes that agricultural mechanization will bring; What's even more gratifying is that a chain roller tractor with higher power has been successfully tested and began to lay an assembly line, and the subsequent various derivative machinery will also have supporting power! The research of rubber in the petroleum laboratory has also made progress, and the rubber for tires is just around the corner, and it is foreseeable that tires will soon appear and will be used to replace rubber wheels in various vehicle equipment, and then bicycles, motorcycles, automobiles and other vehicles will be fully popularized!

The industries of the Kanto Prefecture and the Lushun Office are developing rapidly, and the industrial production capacity of steel machinery and other industries has gradually surpassed that of Ryukyu Island, and the advantages of resources and land in the north have begun to be clearly revealed. The expansion and surge of the military industry has also strengthened the armament of the East China Sea again, the ammunition reserves are full, the military affairs departments such as the Ministry of Marine War and the War Department are all increasing, the cavalry division has been fully reorganized from six 5,000-man light divisions to eight 8,000-man mixed divisions, and the heavy and convenient equipment has increased a lot, and a full-scale westward expedition and plunder will begin in winter!

Although the initial literacy rate and the popularization rate of the four arithmetic cannot be counted, it can be seen that the knowledge and cultural level of the people in the north is increasing significantly, and the General Staff Department, led by the Department of Culture, has been making every effort to guide the self-study atmosphere in the north.

The external operations were mainly concentrated in Yanjing, Yanshantang's raid on Jiayucun's wife Jiaoxing was ambushed by Wu Sizhao, Yanshantang suffered heavy losses, and Tang Dexiu was also ambushed by the imperial court; Fu Ning's only gain was that the "sticky stick" agent who acted independently finally "bitten" Wu Sizhao and found out Wu Sizhao's real person and his approximate action pattern, so a crazy killing plan gradually took shape in the radio wave exchange between Fu Ning and Chen Dong.

The Imperial Court's Department of Monks and Taoism is located on Shanglin Street in the eastern urban area of Yanjing, and there is a Qing Yuan on Shanglin Street, which is Wu Sizhao's temporary residence, and the arrested people in Yanshantang are suspected to have been detained by the imperial court, and Jia Yucun and his wife "Jiaoxing" are also hidden by Wu Sizhao. Wu Sizhao has also been targeted by the agents of the "sticky pole", and the special forces at the "sticky pole" are also in place, waiting for the cooperation of the airship unit of the Marine War Department; As long as the weather is fine and the breeze is good, the airship unit can realize air assistance from the sea off Tanggu to Yanjing, and help the sticky pole to achieve safe evacuation after the operation.

After the failure of Yanshantang's raid on Jiaoxing, Emperor Shunhe's secret guard "Blood Grid", Wu Sizhao's Department of Monk and Taoist Affairs, and Ren Minggui, the imperial envoy of the Nine Gates, were all vigorously searching for Jingshi and arresting the intelligence officers of Yanshan Hall; Therefore, it became urgent to kill Wu Sizhao and rescue the arrested people as soon as possible, so on the evening of September 29, Fu Ning and Chen Dong decided to carry out the operation, because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival of the lunar calendar, and the moonlight was good in the second half of the night.

Chen Dong's temporary liaison office was set up in a private house opposite Qingyuan on Shanglin Street, and he contacted the airship squadron in Bohai through the radio station, and planned to act that night. However, the information fed back by the airship squadron could not be done, because there were nearly 200 kilometers from Tanggu to Yanjing, and the flight speed of the airship was only about 10 kilometers per hour, and it could not reach the Beijing division overnight.

There is a Tanzhe Temple in the western suburbs of Jingshi, and there is a small valley called Shatanggou in the mountains west of Tanzhe Temple, the area of the valley is not very large, but it can barely dock three airships temporarily, so on the night of September 27, three airships flew from the Bohai Sea to Shatanggou, and flew over the suburbs of Jingshi during the day on 28 September, but because they flew higher, they did not attract the attention of people on the ground.

The straight-line distance from Shatanggou to Qingyuan on Shanglin Street in Jingshi is about 50 kilometers, so that the airship can cooperate with the action of the "sticky pole" in time on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The "sticky pole" special forces launched an operation in the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the flying knife and the silent gun (weapon) silently harvested human lives at night, Jia Yucun and Jiao Xing were captured, and the arrested people in Yanshantang were rescued, but the three airships could only handle more than 60 people, that is to say, in addition to the 50 people at the "sticky pole", the airship could also take away more than a dozen rescued Yanshantang intelligence officers, and the other more than 30 rescued Yanshantang intelligence officers had to be abandoned.

Chen Dong ordered the three airships to throw away all the heavy objects such as ballast sandbags and radio stations carried on the airships, and hand them over to the "sticky pole office" to blow them up, so that the three airships could carry about 20 more people.

The sound and figure of the radio station blown up on the ground and the airship flying in the sky alarmed the entire Beijing Division, and when the officers and soldiers of the Jiumen Imperial Yamen arrived at the Qingyuan on Shanglin Street, the airship had already begun to prepare for evacuation, and the fear brought by the unknown to the officers and soldiers of the imperial court made the airship evacuate gain some time and allow most of the personnel to evacuate safely.

The times are changing dramatically, and the modern industrial products and technologies have had a huge spiritual impact on the ancient imperial court. "The behemoth flying giant landed in the capital at night, and the blood grid of the imperial court stationed in the Qing Garden on Shanglin Street died silently; The enemy suffered no casualties, leaving only a dozen or so people who could not be saved. This kind of intelligence shocked not only the Nine Gates Imperial Yamen, but the entire Jingshi!

Emperor Shunhe felt that his control over the situation was becoming more and more powerless, and he originally thought that the Donghai Kingdom was just a "foreign country" and an external force, but now he realized that it was not an external force at all, but an extremely powerful internal rebel force; There are already rumors in both the Jingshi and the people in Jiangnan that the "dragon energy" of the British Dynasty has moved eastward to the Kanto region, so for the imperial court, the Donghai Kingdom is actually a huge rebel force that has been founded and established, and the recent official documents of the Donghai Kingdom show that the Donghai Kingdom has generally used the title of "Donghua Kingdom" in documents and propaganda, so it also shows that the Donghai Kingdom is actually a complete rebel force! is already competing with the British Dynasty for the orthodox status of the Han nation!

"Great changes unseen in 3,000 years!" Emperor Shunhe had publicly acknowledged in his edict that the situation had changed significantly, but the people of the British Dynasty could not figure out where the problem came from.

The population and wealth of the British Dynasty are flowing rapidly to the East China Sea in silence, and people are confused, so the coastal sea ban is already a virtual reality, and the coastal magistrates are turning a blind eye to the imperial court's sea ban policy; Because the interests of the sea trade are too great, the people who chase huge profits can use countless methods to tear apart the magistrates who resolutely prohibit the sea!

Gasoline lamps, kerosene lamps, steel pots, aluminum pots, honeycomb coal, cheap and fine cloth and clothing, a large number of jewels, agate corals, excellent East China Sea silver dollars, exquisite anti-counterfeiting banknotes, giant ships and cannons, flying giants, electric lights and telephones, clocks and pocket watches with accurate timekeeping, etc., new things and all kinds of rumors spread rapidly on the ground of the British Dynasty. In the past, people had a stable mind, and no matter how difficult their lives were, people would try to be stable, and they would rather be peaceful dogs than troubled people; But now it's different, the current situation and new things give rise to rumors, rumors and rumors, and rumors are reprinted countless times after confusing people's hearts, so now people are confused, even people from rich families feel that the situation is going to be chaotic, thinking about whether they can "mix it up". No one can say what the future holds, but rumors of change have begun to stir people's hearts rapidly, because those unprecedented new things are emerging in an endless stream to impact daily life, and the people of the British Dynasty have begun to be full of too many worries and expectations for the future!

The great changes of the times have come, but no one in the British Dynasty can say "what is coming" and where will it go in the future? But it is clear that there is no way out without change! Wu Sizhao disappeared in Qingyuan on Shanglin Street, and the imperial court did not know whether he was killed or captured by the Donghai Kingdom, so the think tank that Emperor Shunhe relied on could only come mainly from Shangshutai.

Now Emperor Shunhe's think tank is mainly Shangshu Ling Zhang Yu and his son and the former Shangshu Ling Zheng Xian, for which the old Zheng Xian had to get up and down at the age of seventy years old to give advice to Emperor Shunhe. In the history of the British Dynasty for more than 90 years, the status of Shangshutai has gone through ups and downs several times, during the auspicious years, Jia's mother Shi Rong's father Baoling Hou Shigong once took Shangshutai power to the government and the opposition, but during the Qianping period, Shangshutai became a place for the old ministers to retire before retirement, and there was no right, but at the beginning of the 23rd year of Qianping, Emperor Qianping suddenly gave Shangshu the military power of Zheng Xian Jinggi at that time, so that Shangshutai jumped from "Rongxiu Yamen" to become the most powerful department of the imperial court again. So much so that Zheng Xian was able to quickly and stably control the situation in Gyeonggi when Emperor Shunhe ascended to the pole. The current Shangshu Ling Zhang Yu is also a great figure, and his son, Zhang Tinghe, a cabinet military machine, is the think tank of Emperor Shunhe, it can be said that the Zhang family in Tongcheng has always been very extraordinary, and he is the most important minister of the Shunhe Dynasty.

Fu Ning sent Huaiyangtang to check the bottom of Zhang Yu and Zhang Tinghe's father and son, and found that it was the Tongcheng Zhang family of the Qing Dynasty in Fu Ning's original life, and Zhang Yu and Zhang Tinghe father and son were equivalent to Zhang Ying and Zhang Tingyu's family in the Qing Dynasty in Fu Ning's original life; has changed the world and changed the court, and the Zhang family in Tongcheng is still a brilliant family with many talents!

Zheng Xian, Zhang Yu, and Zhang Tinghe served as the think tank of Emperor Shunhe, and now Wu Sizhao is "missing", and the influence of the three on Emperor Shunhe has reached the extreme. In the face of drastic changes in the current situation, Zheng Xian strongly suggested to Emperor Shunhe with his seventy-year-old body, "We must fully imitate the East China Sea!" ”; Zhang Tinghe was the most radical and suggested that Emperor Shunhe comprehensively implement the reform, "To learn from things, you need to learn the school of the East China Sea!" To promote the manufacture of tools and build firearms, it is necessary to comprehensively reform the armament to compete with the East China Sea! ——The East China Sea is gradually getting bigger, and the situation is a great upheaval unseen in 3,000 years, and only by gathering the manpower and material resources of the whole country can we deal with it! ”。

Emperor Shunhe has always been diligent and meticulous in his work, lacking great courage, but this time he was finally "shocked" by the airship of the East China Sea Kingdom, so he followed the advice of the three-person think tank; New policies such as "promoting new learning", "rewarding industry and commerce", "opening up the mining administration", "public research and development of military weapons", and "iron ship and water affairs" have been fully issued and implemented, and the technology of the East China Sea that Wu Sizhao had recently stolen was deduced and used from the sealed materials. Emperor Shunhe's determination to change was very resolute, but the stubborn feudal gentry group was not easily able to compromise; The Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites secretly passively pursued the new policy, because they were worried about the impact of the new policy on their inherent interests; The students of Jingshi and Jiangnan united to resist Xinxue, because the vigorous promotion of Xinxue and its inclusion in the imperial examination meant that their imperial examination quota would be divided, which was a new academic policy that the students of the imperial court did not want to see!

Emperor Shunhe rarely implemented the New Deal with great courage, but the inherent gentry interest groups always secretly obstructed the implementation of the New Deal, so the implementation of the New Deal was very difficult.

Interests, this is the key point of all social reforms, Emperor Shunhe, Zhang Yu and Zhang Tinghe are full of hope to implement the new policy, but Zheng Xian did not say much, because he saw very clearly, interests are the driving force of reform, the gentry and aristocracy can not get benefits from the new deal, this is the biggest resistance to the new deal, but the new deal is beneficial to the royal family, so Zheng Xian had to be silent.

The "New Deal" benefited the royal family on the surface, which could increase taxes and expand the military industry; However, the inherent feudal gentry group does not gain much benefit, but may suffer from it. The new school policy was conducive to improving the knowledge of the people and making the people become civilized, but the landlords, students, and gentry did not want to see the situation of the people's civilization. The peasants went to work and the landlords did not like it, the old students of the new school politics did not like it, and the civilized people and gentry did not like it, so the new school policy was equivalent to a non-existent policy, and it was the policy that encountered the greatest resistance. On the surface, the policy of rewarding industry and commerce stimulated industrial and commercial production, but it is necessary to know that most of the wealthy merchants are attached to the gentry, and after the interests of the merchants are largely attributed to the imperial court, it is the gentry and nobles whose interests are actually damaged, so it is necessary to secretly resist the policy of "rewarding industry and commerce" of the imperial court. "Open Mining Administration" was a policy that the landlords and gentry were happy about, that is, the royal government opened up the forbidden mines and allowed the private people to mine; The common people are not able to mine mines, and those who have the ability to mine mines are actually the gentry and the wealthy businessmen attached to the gentry, so the mining of coal and iron began to flood, and for a time the coal and iron production of the British Dynasty surged, but the gentry of the British Dynasty did not have free alien use, and the imperial court did not formulate a policy to protect the interests of the miners, so the people died in the mine accidents one after another; The British Dynasty fattened the gentry, but accidents, corruption, and rumors caused the court to gradually lose the hearts and minds of the people at the bottom.

As for the policy of "public research on weapons", the main purpose is to study the industrial technology of the East China Sea that Wu Sizhao once stole and expand the armament of firearms, but the backwardness of the management system has led to the low production capacity of the imperial court's military industry, just like the Hanyang Iron Works and military factories in the late Qing Dynasty in Fu Ning's original life, in fact, the British Imperial Court is using the bottomless pit of state taxes to support the country's military industry, and with little success!

The "promotion of new learning" had to be stopped because of the resistance of the gentry and students; the "reward of industry and commerce" did not increase much industry and commerce, but gave birth to a kind of merchant class called "compradors"; the "opening up of the mining administration" fattened the gentry and nobles, but increased the rumors that too many officials were corrupt and the court was mediocre, and the "public research and military weapons" consumed a lot of financial resources of the imperial court but did not reap much results; as for the "iron ship and water affairs", the backwardness of the iron smelting technology made the policy of vigorously building steam engine ships slow.

The "New Deal" is not so fun, interests are the entry point of political issues, but unfortunately except for Zheng Xian, Shunhe Emperor Zhang Yu and Zhang Tinghe, the three of them did not see the essence of the problem, and Zheng Xian is already in his seventies, obviously he does not want to offend the gentry of the whole country and leave a bad name after his death, so Zheng Xian did not say it explicitly, so that Emperor Shunhe could not find the reason for the slow effect of the "New Deal", and he was still regretting the "disappearance" of the emperor Wu Sizhao, and he was losing his brain!
