Overseas Chinese are even more excited, and many overseas students have returned to their motherland from overseas.

Intellectuals from other provinces also began to consider going to the seven provinces of East China to make a living.

This is because of the huge demand for culture in education, medical care and other aspects of the policy, and now the East China Autonomous Government is vigorously developing education, so if you miss the current opportunity, there will be no such a good policy in the future, if you don't go, you will become a backward person, and you may not be able to find any good jobs in the future.

Whether it is for ideals or for material, it is not wrong to go to the seven autonomous provinces of East China.

The East China Autonomous Political Axe has established a very tall image in this war, just like overseas Chinese, who now only recognize the East China Autonomous Political Axe, but have no feeling for the Beiyang Central Political Axe.

Even in the provinces of China, the influence of the East China Autonomous Political Axe is increasing day by day.

East China's autonomous government has been providing assistance to other provinces for nearly a year.

During this year, a large amount of free salt and a large amount of free aid grain poured into other provinces, bringing a certain amount of living security to those poor people.

At the same time, the East China Autonomous Government has opened many primary schools in various provinces, and these primary schools are also free of charge for students, just like the seven provinces of East China.

Although the number of schools is not enough for all children to go to school, the number is increasing, and all the customs surplus last year was spent on other provinces.

At the same time, the East China Autonomous Political Axe actively suppressed bandits in various provinces, and these bandit suppression troops were extremely professional and very mobile. At the same time, these anti-bandit units are deeply loved by the people, and the people actively provide clues and other help to the anti-bandit units in various provinces, and the efficiency of suppressing bandits is called high.

In terms of anti-narcotics, the East China Autonomous Political Axe has banned smoking in those traditional opium-growing areas, but the anti-narcotics team of the East China Autonomous Political Axe does not blindly adopt violent anti-narcotics measures, and has a compensation policy for the owners of opium cultivation, but the compensation is only once, and if they plant again, they will face the danger of imprisonment.

With regard to the circulation of narcotics, the anti-narcotics teams in East China have shown their skills even more; with the help of drug-checking dogs improved from the Chinese pastoral dogs, they have seized a large amount of tobacco and soil on the transportation lines of various provinces, and more than 5,000 drug traffickers have been arrested.

At the same time, the Chinese Joint Military Police Brigade formed in East China is also very active in the local area, and many local Turkish military leaders have been arrested by the military police.

The Joint Supervision Yuan also investigated and dealt with many corrupt officials of the Beiyang system at the local level, and was praised by the people for a while.

These actions of the East China Autonomous Government have greatly changed the atmosphere in China's provinces. The gentry and common people in various provinces have gradually gained an understanding of the autonomous political axe in East China, which is also inseparable from propaganda.

In one fell swoop, the prestige of the East China Autonomous Political Axe completely suppressed the Central Political Axe in the war with Yueben.

At this time, China could no longer distinguish between the central and local governments, strictly speaking, and was more like a confederation, a confederation that was in the process of transforming into a federal body.

In this confederation, the East China Autonomous Political Axe has become the boss, and although the Beiyang Political Axe is the nominal boss, its status has been completely replaced by the East China Autonomous Political Axe.

The Beiyang political axe was very embarrassed in this celebration, because the Beiyang political axe maintained a neutral position in this war, which made the prestige of the Beiyang political axe fall even more.

Feng Yuxiang and other officers with patriotic spirit who had been sharply conjured up from the Beiyang warlords began to be inclined to let the East China Autonomous Political Axe come forward to form a new political axe, but many such officers did not dare to express such views, but as long as the time came, they would inevitably break out.

Among them, Cao Kun, who replaced the position of Feng Guozhang, the direct leader, changed the most rapidly, since he had contact with the East China Army in the First World War in Northeast China, Cao Kun began to move closer to the East China Autonomous Political Axe under the persuasion of Wu Peifu, although there was no too practical action, but there were also hints at the East China Autonomous Political Axe, but the East China Autonomous Political Axe has not yet given a positive answer.

Although Yuan Shikai felt embarrassed, he was calm and calm, and he did not take it seriously with the victory of the East China Army in the Shandong Battlefield Mountain, but secretly laughed at Xia Jun's stupidity.

Seeing that he was about to win, he accepted the armistice agreement.

Is the military foundation of this book comparable to that of the East China Autonomous Political Axe? When people catch their breath, the real knives and guns come with you, can you still win?

But to be honest, the $100 million indemnity is really mouth-watering. He begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and in the end, he borrowed 250 million silver dollars, which made the East China Autonomous Political Axe get 200 million silver dollars, so that Yuan Shikai's eyes did have a tendency to turn red.

However, as long as the East China Autonomous Political Axe is defeated on the battlefield in Shandong, then these indemnities will eventually have to be returned to Yue himself, and Yuan Shikai's eyes are red a few times, so he doesn't pay attention to it anymore.

Yuan Shikai, who was in a high position, began to miss the system of the Qing Dynasty at this time, and he ruled the world, who dared to disobey!

The men of the Yuan family will not live to be fifty-eight years old, and Mr. Feng Shui said that he can use dragon qi to change the feng shui of the family, and he Yuan Shikai will be fifty-eight years old in a few years.

Moreover, Yuan Keding, the commander of the Model Brigade, was also very active at this time, and was actively planning for his Lao Tzu to ascend the throne.

Last year, a Confucian Church was established, headquartered in Shanghai, but it was directly sealed by the East China Autonomous Government, which moved its headquarters to Yanjing.

The Confucian Church is actually an organization engaged in restoration, and when the Confucian Church was established in history, the honorary president was Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun was the president of Glory, which shows what kind of organization this Confucian Church is, so a few days after the Confucian Church was established in Shanghai last year, Xia Jun personally ordered the police station to seal down the Confucian Church in Shanghai.

Yuan Shikai ascended the throne as the emperor, so he Yuan Keding is the eldest son, and he will definitely be the emperor in the future, can this matter not make Yuan Keding positive?

Although the capital was in a celebratory atmosphere at this time, the propaganda for the restoration of the imperial system was becoming stronger day by day.

These people who propagated the imperial system were naturally made by Yuan Shikai's family.

Affected by this wind, Li Yuanhong, who was under house arrest in Yanjing, began to advocate the 'hereditary presidential system', which is the emperor in disguise, but such a hereditary presidential system is far from satisfying Yuan Shikai's appetite.

The real emperor is called the glory of the ancestors, and that is the real achievement! At this time, Yuan Shikai was one step away from success.

As for the naysayers!

Yuan Shikai also considered it, in terms of the strength of the Beiyang Army, since ordering so many arms from the East China Autonomous Political Axe, the strength is already very strong.

Although the Beiyang Army was not as strong as the East China Army, the East China Army was dragged to the Shandong battlefield at this time, and in Yuan Shikai's view, it was bound to be defeated in the future.

Even if the East China Army opposes it, it can't care about him becoming emperor.

As for other provinces that oppose him as emperor, then it will be wiped out directly?

However, Yuan Shikai still cautiously began to ask the opinions of the overseers in various places, those overseers were the third line, Yuan Shikai asked them how the republic was doing? Naturally, they say that the republic is not doing well.

Yuan Shikai is particular about the wording, he said that the republic is 'to do', and this office has two meanings, one is to continue to do, and the other is not to do.

Whether to run a republic or not, as long as you think about it from the perspective of pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, you will know what Yuan Shikai means, and those overseers and governors naturally hurriedly complained that the republic is not easy to run.

The so-called republic is actually no different from the system of the old era, and the local government still began to prevail again in the local area. The only difference is the central government, which has no emperor, but what kind of president it has become.

So if you don't run this republic, it means that Yuan Shikai is not the president, and if he is not the president, what should he be? That's naturally going to be the emperor.

They naturally understand such a simple truth.

At this time, if you support Yuan Shikai as emperor, then you will definitely be able to get a piece of the pie.

When Yuan Shikai ignored the second-line personnel in this move, that is, Duan Qirui and Cao Kun. Cao Kun appeared to be obedient on the surface, while Duan Qirui posed some threats to Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai did not consult Duan Qirui's opinion and did not let them participate in it, because he was afraid that they would be proud of their achievements after becoming emperor.

But Yuan Shikai obviously ignored the thoughts of these second-line personnel too much on this issue.

In the case of a republic, the president is not hereditary. As long as Yuan Shikai dies, these second-tier members may naturally be replaced.

Even if he can't be replaced, Yuan Keding will be the new master.

But the problem lies with Yuan Keding, the eldest prince of Yuan has always looked down on Duan Qirui and these people, and he usually doesn't have a good face for them.

This inevitably offended Duan Qirui and them, in their minds, it was nothing to be a slave to the old man for a lifetime, after all, the old man was still very polite to them. You can't continue to be a slave for the little one for another life, right? Where does this little one treat them as human beings? Let this little one go up, then what's the point?

It's just that at this time, Yuan Shikai is in the limelight and has great power, and they can't openly oppose Yuan Shikai's advocacy of the imperial system, they just wait for the opportunity.

It can be said that at this time, Yuan Shikai has begun to slowly deviate from the hearts of the people, and he has not grasped the hearts of the second-line personnel, and those officers with patriotic ideas have not grasped it either. As for the opportunists, they are divided into two sides, and many opportunists actually prefer to speculate on the side of the East China Autonomous Government.

…… After Xia Jun signed an armistice agreement with Yueben in Hangzhou, he rushed to Laizhou Bay with the navy's top brass non-stop, and the navy had already let the ships tow two huge floating docks to the waters of Laizhou Bay three days ago.

The floating dock was towed to Laizhou Bay, and naturally it was necessary to salvage the sunken warship.

It is said that the Fusang is a behemoth with a displacement of nearly 30,000 tons, and the exact tonnage is 29,330 tons.

The newly built Hiei is a battle cruiser with a standard displacement of 27,500 tons, a speed of 27.5 knots, and the main guns and other components are provided by Vickers.

The navy's blockade of Bohai Bay this time is naturally to take the opportunity to salvage the two warships to see if they can be repaired.

There are ready-made cheap ones that naturally can't be picked up.
