Beijing in May, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the spring flowers are blooming/
In the Renshou Hall of the Summer Palace in Beijing, the Empress Dowager Cixi was listening to the recitals sent by Cen Chunxuan, Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhidong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info[η^ζ^δΉ¦εΊ][]. [774] [buy]. []
Renshou Hall is located in the East Palace Gate of the Summer Palace, sitting west to east, facing seven rooms, there are north and south side halls on both sides, there is Renshou Gate in front, there are north and south nine Qing rooms outside the door. It was the place where the Empress Dowager Cixi met with ministers and received foreign envoys.
Lu Chuanlin, Minister of Military Aircraft, played Zhang Zhidong, Yuan Shikai, Cen Chunxuan and other generals and governors played the "Abolition of the Imperial Examination". Cen Chunxuan and others believe that "educators are the first priority of politics".
The reason why the Great Qing State has always been weak in the struggle with the foreign powers is due to the imperial examination system.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty basically agreed with their proposal to abolish the imperial examination. Since the First Sino-Japanese War, calls for the abolition of the imperial examinations have continued, and most ministers believe that the defeat of the Qing state to the Japanese state is due to a lack of technical talents. Therefore, the abolition of the imperial examination has become a frequently mentioned issue in recent years.
Empress Dowager Cixi and several ministers of military aircraft basically agreed to their proposal to abolish the imperial examination.
When Rong Qing, Minister of Military Aircraft, read another copy of Cen Chunxuan's recital, there was a heated debate in the Renshou Palace.
It turned out that this memo was a discussion of the Hainan Fleet's northward march to resist Japan. The compromise stated the harm caused by the Russo-Japanese War to our Chinese nation, as well as the ambitions of Japan and Russia to our Chinese nation, and if it is not stifled at this time, the harm will inevitably affect the entire Chinese nation.
Under the banner of fighting for the lost land for the Qing Dynasty, the real purpose of the Japanese was to annex the three eastern provinces of China. In the end, no matter who wins or loses, Japan and Russia have no meaning for the Qing Dynasty. It's just that a robber has occupied my Huaxia inheritance.
After all, the Hainan army is my Chinese clan, and although there are changes at present, it is not enough to shake the rule of the Qing court.
In the face of the current Russo-Japanese war situation, the victory of the Japanese army is basically certain, and if Japan occupies the three eastern provinces and the Korean Peninsula, the rule of our Qing Dynasty will be in jeopardy.
In the past few years, the Japanese army has been gaining momentum and is strong and strong, but its domestic resources are insufficient, and if it occupies the fertile land in China's northeast and the Korean Peninsula again, it will be like a tiger with wings and will do great harm.
If the Hainan army voluntarily sent troops to the northeast, our Qing court would neither block nor advocate it, but only acquiesced in its participation in the Russo-Japanese War, so that the imperial court could freely retract and adjust its attitude and strategy toward the Hainan army at any time.
From another point of view, if the Hainan army wanted to engage the Japanese army, the strength of both sides would be greatly depleted, and the victory of either side would be a good thing for the Qing Dynasty.
If the Hainan army is wiped out by the Japanese army, then we will be able to destroy this group of hidden dangers in Hainan with the help of the Japanese, and it will not be that we will spend a lot of silver taels and use the troops of several provinces to encircle and suppress them.
If the Hainan army wins, its strength will also be greatly depleted, and when its foothold is not stable, it will force the Hainan army to submit and break up and absorb it in one fell swoop.
In this way, the power of the Japanese was eliminated, and the strength of Hainan was weakened, which was extremely beneficial to the interests of the imperial court and the Chinese nation in any respect.
In addition, if the Hainan army loses the war, our DPRK can explain to the international community that the Hainan army is a rebel army encircled and suppressed by our DPRK, and its behavior does not represent the will of the Qing Dynasty, and we can shirk it cleanly.
If Hainan wins this war, our DPRK can announce to the international community in the name of agreeing to Hainan's dispatch of troops that they have sent troops with the tacit consent of the Qing Dynasty, and this is the will of the Qing court.
Therefore, it is the wisest move for our court to agree to send troops to Hainan, and the result is that the Qing court can be invincible regardless of victory or defeat.
After Rong Qing finished reading Cen Chunxuan's recital, Prince Qing said: "Lafayette, Cen Chunxuan's move is really a collusion with the traitor Chen Zhong to deceive the imperial court, and his rebellion is obvious to the world. β
Qu Hongzhen, Minister of Military Aircraft, said: "Qi Lafayette, Prince Qing is making a big fuss. If anyone wants to rebel, it is that Lord Cen Chunxuan will not rebel. Thinking about the change of Gengzi that year, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, only Lord Cen himself organized an army to come to King Qin, and his loyalty to the world testified, so Lord Yixuan framed Lord Cen for rebellion, which is really a personal vendetta of the communiquΓ©, ill-intentioned, and the behavior of the villain! β
Yi Liang said: "Lafayette Mingjian, if Cen Chunxuan plays the acquiescence of our dynasty to the Hainan army's expedition to the northeast, for the court's favor, it will be ridiculed by the people of the world, Lafayette must not be allowed to play, and Cen Chunxuan's demons confuse the public, help the abuse, and fornicate with the crime of traitor!" β
Qu Hongzhen stepped forward and questioned Yixuan: "Prince Qing, you dare to swear in front of Lafayette that what you said is not selfish?!" As far as this official knows, Lord Cen is iron-faced and selfless, punishing corrupt officials in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guangzhou, and rectifying the rule of officials, which is against the interests of Prince Qing! β
Yixuan's eyes widened angrily, and he reprimanded: "Qu Hongzhen, you are spewing blood, this king is loyal, innocent as an official, and has never formed a party for personal gain, how to talk about violating the interests of this king, in the eyes of this king, you and Cen Chunxuan have the intention of forming a party and plotting against him!" β
When the Empress Dowager Cixi saw the quarrel between Her Royal Highness's ministers, she said irritably: "Oh, don't quarrel, such a good weather is really a bad scenery!" Wang Wenshao, Lu Chuanlin, what do you think? β
Wang Wenshao said: "Qi Qi Lafayette, what they said makes sense, in Weichen's view, both have advantages and disadvantages, as for Lord Cen's rebellion, it is still unfair." In addition, Prince Qing did not have a personal vendetta. They are all thinking about the court. β
Qu Hongzhen said angrily: "Wang Wenshao, you are grinding again!" You can tell from your heart, is Lord Cen acquiescing to the Hainan army sending troops to the northeast out of selfishness or is he thinking for the imperial court? β
Lu Chuanlin said: "What several adults said is reasonable, and the suggestion played by Lord Cen to acquiesce to Hainan sending troops is indeed worth considering.
The Russo-Japanese War reached the most critical moment, although the Russian army was strong, but a fire broke out in its backyard, causing them to have no intention of the northeast battlefield; The Japanese army was in full swing, but in fact it had reached the end of its power, and the domestic economy was already stretched, and if the war continued, Japan would surely fall apart.
If the Hainan army participates in the Russian army's war against Japan, it is very likely that the aggressive Japanese army will be annihilated in Northeast Asia. In this way, I will kill three birds with one stone and reap the benefits of the fisherman. β
Cixi, who was sitting on the Renshou Palace, pondered for a moment, and asked Li Lianying beside her, "Little Lizi, tell the palace, which of them is reasonable?" β
The great eunuch Li Lianying hurriedly bowed down and said: "Lafayette, the servants think that what they say makes sense, they are all loyal ministers of our Great Qing Kingdom. However, it would be good to let the arrogant King of Hainan and the little Japan who died fight a few times. Galeries Lafayette is next to you, and you should watch the show. β
Cixi's gloomy face smiled: "Okay, it's Cen Chunxuan's recital." β
