Seeing that there are recommended votes, thank you for one more. Uh-huh.
After settling the two countries, everyone discussed a new treaty and submitted it to the Prime Minister's Office. Today, the minister of the Yamen of the Prime Minister's Office is Yixuan.
There are eight cabinet ministers: Li Hongzhang, Yi Xuan, Zhang Zhidong, Sheng Xuanhuai, Zai Ze, Zai Xun, Pu Lun, and Shaochang, of which the latter six are six Shangshu, while Li Hongzhang is the middle hall and Yi Liang is the minister of the prime minister's office.
It's a pity that Zhang Zhidong didn't come to the capital at all.
After receiving the new treaty, Yixuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately submitted it to the palace. If it was before Zaifeng ascended the throne, Yixuan would not be a step ahead, but now it is thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. When Zaifeng was disturbed by many royal families and tried to take the throne, he sat uncharacteristically in the mansion. It's a bad thing to do.
But no one knew that Zaifeng had already met with Li Hongzhang. Zaifeng knew that no matter how chaotic Beijing was, it couldn't be chaotic. On the night of the fall of Beijing, the damned people were either killed by the Eight-Nation Alliance or by the rebels. The rest were definitely killed by Hu Xiaoyan's new army. And those who should not be killed will not die in the end.
The emperor's throne seems mysterious, but it was actually doomed from the beginning. At the beginning of this troubled era, whoever has the power of the army can sit firmly in the position. And after Hu Xiaoyan leaves, who has the right to fight? Li Hongzhang's Nie Shicheng Department! Ma Yukun's department! In the end, it is Dong Fuxiang's department that is loyal to the imperial court! Among them, Nie Shicheng and Ma Yukun are the strongest, and the two of them add up to more than 15,000 troops, and the weapons in their hands are all the most advanced rifles in Europe. The Eight-Nation Coalition Army traveled thousands of miles to transport it. The rest of Dong Fuxiang's subordinates still use old-style firearms.
Zaifeng reached an agreement with Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang supported Zaifeng as emperor, and Zaifeng supported Li Hongzhang's Westernization movement. The two rely on each other, and Hu Xiaoyan's ability to sit in the position of governor of the two provinces in white is also a joint decision of the two of them! Hu Xiaoyan is really bold, if he doesn't give him some color, neither Zaifeng nor Li Hongzhang will be able to control him in the future. It seems that the official has been promoted, but the power is small. If it weren't for the thousands of new troops in Ma'anshan who only listened to Hu Xiaoyan's orders, Li Hongzhang would not have turned his face directly. Hu Xiaoyan couldn't even keep the steel mill and arsenal in Ma'anshan. The coal and iron mines in Lieshan were nationalized and operated by Sheng Xuanhuai. Li Jingmai officially served as the premier of the Yamen of the General Department of Anhui Mining. Anqing Light Industrial Zone was pressed in the palm of his hand by Enming because of the rolling money, so Sheng Xuanhuai failed to succeed. That's for sure. A large part of the money in the light industrial zone has to be handed over to Zaifeng.
Zaifeng used means to finally recover Dong Fuxiang and Ma Yukun, which is also certain. Ma Yukun and Dong Fuxiang are not Huaijun now. Li Hongzhang's Nie Shicheng's subordinates were driven to Tianjin again, and now Zaifeng has completely controlled the city of Beijing. Whether it is Yixuan or Li Hongzhang, he is just a turtle in an urn at this time. As for the local governors? Don't look at Zhang Zhidong, Yuan Shikai and others signed a southeast mutual insurance agreement, as long as Zaifeng is careful to use his means, these two people are just dry bones in the grave.
Yixuan carefully handed over the treaty and didn't dare to look at the emperor, what did he do, this emperor knew it clearly, and Zaifeng had asked him for advice before. Now it's really taught that the apprentice starved to death the master. He wailed in his heart.
"Has Li Zhongtang read this treaty?" Zaifeng (Emperor Xuanwu) took the treaty and asked in the palm of his hand.
"Li Zhongtang said that he was sick at home, and the minister did not dare to slack off when he received the treaty, so he directly presented it to His Majesty." Yi Xuan was terrified, and he realized what he was wrong with.
"Then don't go yet!" Zaifeng threw the treaty on the ground and said calmly.
Yi Liang trembled and picked up the treaty: "Wechen obeys the order, and Wechen retires." ”
He bowed his head all the way back to the gate, and then turned to leave. After taking a few steps, Yixuan wiped the sweat on his forehead.
It's better to be as good as when the Queen Mother was in power, and she would not be bullied by accompanying the king like a tiger.
Yixuan took a carriage to Li Hongzhang's mansion, but unexpectedly ate a closed door.
"My lord, Li Zhongtang is seriously ill, so he went to the hospital." The next person returns.
Really? Yi Xuan thought to himself. This treaty must be signed by Li Hongzhang, because this is a traitorous agreement! The Manchu ministers would not accept it, and neither would the emperor. The black cauldron can only be carried by the Han ministers, and among the Han ministers, only Li Hongzhang is the most threatening. If he doesn't take the blame, who will carry it?
"Go to the hospital!" Yi Xuan made up his mind. I want to see Li Hongzhang today no matter what.
The largest hospital in Beijing is, of course, the traditional Chinese medicine hospital left by Hu Xiaoyan! During his one-year life in Anhui, Hu Xiaoyan spent a lot of money to organize a group of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, perfect the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and recruited several Western doctors. Then together they formed the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Here, one year is enough time for them to build a new hospital model. This traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Beijing is also built according to the Anhui model, including traditional Chinese medicine from Anhui, traditional Chinese medicine with local backgrounds, and Western doctors who have been arrested and invited from Tianjin, Shanghai and other places. Overall, the strength of this hospital is among the top in China. Even in the UK, there are few hospitals that can match the strength and scale of this hospital.
In the 1900s, Western medicine came out of the obscurantist witch doctors, and the concepts of new medicine, such as bacteriology and immunology, were still not recognized by all Western medicine. Even drug No. 3 can be sold by Bayer as a drug. Western medicine has not yet become an independent systematic theory in this era! The theory of Chinese medicine has been perfected for thousands of years.
It was still very troublesome to set up the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Hu Xiaoyan didn't know Dr. Gao Ming in Beijing, and they were not necessarily willing to enter the Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but fortunately, there was a Xia Yan. Xia Yan's reputation in Beijing is not small, and the most important thing is that this person has a chivalrous heart. The ancients said that a gentleman can be deceived in a way. Hu Xiaoyan pressed down in the name of righteousness. Xia Yan's cheeks twitched and agreed to be the director of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Xia Yan came forward, and most of the traditional Chinese medicine doctors in Beijing were forced by Hu Xiaoyan to enter the hospital as doctors at gunpoint. Xiucai couldn't explain why he met Bing. What's more, is it a person like Hu Xiaoyan who will do anything to achieve his goals?
With most of the high-quality Chinese medicine practitioners in Beijing and the recruited Western doctors to join, Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the best hospital in China. It's just that the theoretical research of traditional Chinese medicine is still inferior to the research institute of traditional Chinese medicine in Anhui. There is no way, the Anhui Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine transferred to carry out theoretical research, not only with a large amount of financial support, but also countless Japanese friendly people to provide their living flesh for the hospital to study.
With the help of prisoners of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Anhui Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was built on the site of the former Dutch Embassy. The Dutch embassy was burned down by the Boxers, leaving only a scorched field.
There are four floors in total, and the first floor is used for triage, which is as simple as later generations to triage patients after examination. The second layer is the territory of Chinese medicine, and the third layer is the territory of Western medicine. The fourth floor is where the senior wards are located. Not many patients can afford to stay in a hospital in this era!
The fourth floor is very high, and the so-called standing high and seeing far away, the patient lives here and looks down through the glass window, and the body and mind will become much more pleasant. Now Li Hongzhang lives here. He was looking down and happened to see Yixuan coming out of the carriage. Yi Liang wears a hat and is easily recognizable in an official robe.
Li Hongzhang also recognized it, and he only smiled bitterly. What is in his mind, will he not know? These days, intrigue with the Manchus and the foreigners have consumed too much of this old man's mental strength. But he couldn't do anything about it. It looks like China has won the Eight-Nation Alliance, but if you really think it's won, then you've lost. It is impossible for the Eight-Nation Coalition to invade China again, because the Eight-Nation Coalition cannot afford to lose. But China will not be able to defeat Japan and Russia on its own. Li Hongzhang can't do it, Yuan Shikai can't do it, Zhang Zhidong can't do it, and Hu Xiaoyan can't do it.
What kind of person was the Russian emperor Nicholas II, later generations have long studied him thoroughly. Will this person admit his mistake? Will this person admit defeat? No kidding! People are stupid black bears who can die, but they can't be defeated. If you want him to admit defeat, you might as well organize the Yellow River to enter the sea. At least the latter still has the possibility of success, while the former is simply impossible.
Similarly, the current political situation in Japan, Emperor Taisho is at the time of arrogance, and if you ask him to admit defeat, it is better to let him step down. But Emperor Taisho was at least a target of persuasion, because Ito Hirobumi and Yama Prefecture Aritomo were both long-term visioners. Convincing these two people is equivalent to convincing Emperor Taisho. But Li Hongzhang couldn't show the strength that could convince these two people.
After seeing Li Hongzhang, Yixuan's posture was very low, and if he wanted to take it, he must first deal with him. If Yixuan respects that Li Hongzhang and gets angry. Lao Li will stop doing it, and the unlucky one will be Yixuan himself. Signing a treaty will leave a stench for 10,000 years! Yixuan would rather suffer some grievances than leave a name in history like this.
Li Hongzhang picked up the treaty and looked at it:
First: Compensation for each ** fee amounted to 88 million taels of silver.
Second: unconditional release of prisoners from various countries. Reparations are paid to every coalition soldier who died in battle. a total of about 99 million taels of silver.
Third, suppress the Boxer Rebellion that provoked disputes, and severely punish the main fighters who caused casualties among the coalition forces. The list is listed at the back.
Fourth, prohibit the import of relevant firearms into China. The relevant terms and conditions are appended below.
Fifth: Demolish all defensive facilities from Beijing to Dagu Fort and allow the Eight-Nation Coalition to garrison a small number of troops in Tianjin and Dagu Fort.
Sixth, under the terms of the agreement, the eight countries have China's most favored nation status and unilaterally have preferential tax policies. It was agreed that Anqing and Nanjing would be the new treaty ports of the mainland.
Seventh: The Prime Minister's Office of the National Office was changed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and people with friendly relations with various countries served as Prime Minister (such as Hu Xiaoyan?). )。
Eighth: The Qing State sent heavyweight princes to various countries to apologize.
This is a total of eight articles, as well as a total of 64 sub-clauses.
After Li Hongzhang finished reading it, his eyes widened, and a mouthful of blood spurted unconscious.
