Chapter 15 The Thirteenth Taibao of the Qing Dynasty When Cixi heard that she wanted 50 people to accompany her, she was startled, the scale of such a companionship was large enough, Cixi felt that this son was really cute enough, and now he is becoming more and more presumptuous. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But thinking about it, it is indeed difficult for Guangxu these years, Cixi because of the lessons of Tongzhi, it was because she was too pampered with Tongzhi back then, especially the one she found for him, she didn't study well, looked for flowers and asked willows, and finally died of a dark disease!

This Tongzhi Emperor is also the first person in ancient and modern times, so Cixi is particularly strict with Guangxu, and she resolutely can't take the old road of Tongzhi anymore.

Guangxu knew Cixi's thoughts, and said!

Daddy! You can rest assured, I chose these of my attendants, and the child is already so old, there are still sensible people, and they can distinguish the good from the bad, and the child can assure you that his studies will not decline, in the company of these attendants, learn from each other, and motivate the competition, the emperor and my studies will definitely develop rapidly, and the emperor father, can you come to check from time to time?

Hearing Guangxu say this, I was relieved, thinking that Guangxu had indeed been an honest child all along, and he had never asked him for anything, so he agreed to his request, but these 50 people were indeed too many!

, Guangxu said that the number of people can be a little less at present, let's come to 20 people first, but who is this to be this waiter, the emperor has to choose it himself, saying that Guangxu took out the list he had already prepared and handed it to Cixi!

Cixi looked at the list in her hand!

1 Cai Shaoji (later President of Peiyang University)

2 Liang Dunyan (later Foreign Secretary)

3 Niu Shangzhou (later shipbuilding, telecommunications also had to be a cadre)

4 Liang Jinrong (later Director of the Telegraph Bureau)

5 Wu Zhongxian (later diplomat)

6 Zeng Bo (later mining engineer)

7 Liang Ruhao (later founder of Jiaotong University)

8 Tang Shaoyi (later Prime Minister of the Republic of China)

9 Zhou Chuange (military doctor)

10 Tang Rongjun (later a big businessman)

11 Zeng Dugong (later a newspaper)

12 Rong Shangqian (Admiral)

13 Zhan Tianyou (later railway expert, in fact, he doesn't only know how to build iron ore roads!) ）

These people are all designed by Guangxu with great care, he includes, the people who will be used by Guangxu in the future, these are all seeds, and Guangxu gave them a rather domineering name, Daqing 13 Taibao!

Cixi looked at the list on it, really didn't know any of them, he didn't know these people at all, and he wouldn't care about all of them, she said in particular, I will select a few people for you to be your companion in the Hanlin Academy, and you will walk on each of them (the Forbidden City is not a casual entry, those who can come in, except for the eunuchs and palace maids, other ordinary people must have the top of the four grades, so the people of Cixi are gracious!) ）

Guangxu hurriedly thanked Cixi, and then stared at Cixi and asked people to quickly issue an edict, and then notified these people to come to Beijing Fuming, and did not mention it to himself as a scholar!

At this time, Cixi said to Guangxu that the news of Tibet had reached Beijing, and the British were constantly increasing their troops in Tibet and sending people to attack us! The country is in a difficult autumn, and the proposal that the emperor said has been discussed with the Military Aircraft Department, and it is still feasible, but how did you think of it!

Guangxu couldn't help but say, the emperor's father doesn't have to be afraid, Tibet will really be fine, what we should be worried about in China is the east, no matter how much the west is tossed, it is just a small wave!

Cixi smiled when she heard this! Why did the emperor say this?

Guangxu said: "Since Zuo Zhongtang was pacified and established as a province, the northwest directly accepted the orders of the central government, and within 30 years, it will become a whole like the mainland, and then our China will be a modern country, and as long as there are still living people in the Qing Dynasty, there will really be no one in the world who can destroy China!" ”

For the affairs of Tibet, we must not be the opponent of the British, but we are fighting at home, the home is good, we have a greatest helper, that is time, in China's 13 million square kilometers of land, we can gallop freely, 450 million people, the world's most populous country, try to ask which country can compete with our Qing Dynasty, we now lack nothing, what we lack is consciousness!

If we want to be strong and rejuvenated, the most fundamental thing is the change of consciousness, the Qing Dynasty has no shortage of talents, science and technology, money and food, what is lacking is that these financial, human, and material resources can be effectively mobilized, and there will be no internal friction in the process of mobilization!

All Tibet's is not a big deal, as long as I, the emperor, am there, I am the Tibetan Manjushri Puxian Bodhisattva, you must remember that the Tibetan lamas, ** are only allowed to go through my canonization. At the same time, I am also the emperor of the Han people, and the most important thing is that I am still the Khan of the Mongols, and in the eyes of the Tibetans, the Khan King of the Mongols is still their powerful Vajrapani Bodhisattva, so I, the emperor, is the best glue to integrate national feelings and contradictions!

The situation in Tibet is very obvious, and we must not be the opponent of the British army that has been prepared for a long time on the front, but with the advantages I mentioned before, we can calmly deal with it and determine a good policy.

First, he told the minister stationed in Tibet that the imperial court knew that the situation there was very difficult, so it allowed defeat and could let the enemy in to fight, focusing on destroying the enemy's living forces and delaying the enemy's attack.

Second, the Ordnance Bureaus of Datong, Chengdu, and Wuhan were notified to deliver weapons and ammunition to Tibet and to update the equipment of the Tibetan army.

Third, we have to use the power of diplomacy, these powers are not monolithic, there are many contradictions between them, for example, Tsarist Russia and Britain are fighting fiercely in Central Asia, and they don't want each other to be too strong and take too much advantage, so we must make our own voice in the international community and seek the support of the great powers.

Fourth, we are taking this opportunity to try out the system of compulsory military service in Tibet, that is, everyone at the appropriate age must go to the army for two years, and during these two years, if you go to the army, the state will not only take care of food and housing, but also pay you money, and after two years of retirement, all young people will have this experience and become soldiers.

The advantage of this is that we don't need to raise so many soldiers in peacetime, but in wartime or when we need it, we can organize a very large army, you think about it in peacetime, we only have a formal army of 300,000 people, but we have 3 million people who have served as soldiers, as long as the country needs it, they can quickly return to the army, know who their commanders are, know how to use weapons, know that I have received those trainings, and those trainings that I have not received, as long as I have received these trainings, I can go to war with our brothers, and this is the compulsory military service system.

We can try it out in Tibet, because there is a war here, and it is not a big war, and it doesn't hurt our bones. It's not a small war, only a confrontation. So when is the time to train here?

Cixi asked, who and what?

Guangxu said that I thought that there was a suitable person, this person not only has the ability, but also is very filial, he is Duan Qirui, now he graduated soon, and he graduated with the first grade of the artillery department of Tianjin Wubei Academy, and then he and four other classmates were sent to Germany to study together, but it changed because of Guangxu.

Duan Qirui!

Good! Recruit him into Beijing tomorrow to face the saint, and then the emperor will tell him about your strategy!

Okay, Daddy!

Guangxu also thought of another thing, that is, the Gurkha people in Nepal, this people have always been known for their courage and good fighting, and after the British occupied Nepal, they found such a brave group of people, so they set up a special unit composed of this tribe in their own troops. Their deeds have spread throughout the military circles, they are a very brave nation of the whole nation that can be on par with the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia, this nation must not let Duan Qirui lose it to me!

Guangxu now thinks about it, China's new army may be born in Tibet, this may be China's creation, in terms of strategy must be attached, as soon as possible to transfer Zhang Zhidong from Guangzhou to Wuhan, so that Wuhan will become the rear of the military industrial production base, from the point of view of the location, it is really too convenient, good, have time to talk to the emperor's father!

Also, I will list the education plan of the Thirteen Taibao, saying that it is to accompany them, but in fact, Guangxu wants to give them lessons, although these people have drunk foreign ink, but that is not good, Guangxu's head has more knowledge than they have a century!

Well! Okay, let's plan it!
