Chapter 174: The Choice of Dreams

The report of the Nanjing government requesting an increase in military spending, Guangxu did not hesitate to wholesal, but it was noted in the last item and submitted to the Senior Administration Yuan for consideration!

Guangxu knew very well that the current Senior Administrator Yuan was very different from the original, and waiting for the results of the Imperial Yuan, his royal army would be hungry, so in the profits of the royal industry, he took out 50 million dragon yuan to support the operation of the Nanjing government. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But this can only last for two months, and if the enlarged meeting of the Senate to be held two months later fails to pass the tax increase bill, then the Nanjing government will shut down.

First of all, let's talk about the current situation in the election of deputies to the Information Council, which is mainly in the form of centralized representation, with each provincial-level unit in the country electing two political participants. Responsible for reviewing government decrees and supervising the daily work of the government!

Then there is the large number of senior administrators, and now the original standard based on aristocratic status has been abolished, but calculated by the size of assets, and individuals with assets of more than 100,000 dragon yuan are eligible to compete for senior administrators.

Such a political system makes the original nobles in the senior administrators, almost gone, at this time Guangxu's plan, those decadent old nobles are useless, especially the death of the three old princes, so that these people's backers have arrived, obviously this little emperor came out of his own brother, and the rest of the people are no birds!

Because of the development of industry and commerce in the Chinese Empire, especially in the industrial parks set up throughout the Chinese Empire. These are all owned by the royal Aung himself, and the purpose is to protect the development of commerce. Each of Aweng's subordinates has no administrative structure at all, so there is no royal law in the industrial park, and everyone is free to do it.

The strange thing is that there is no chaos here, after these enterprises have reached a little scale, they start to make their own self-control, they demarcate their own borders, manage public order by themselves, and the main responsibility of Aung is to coordinate the government's violent resources when foreign forces intervene and when the overall security and stability of the economic zone is threatened, so that calm can be restored to this place immediately.

The government is now implementing a self-declaration tax system, you think you should pay as much tax as you want, but you must think clearly, if you are found to have evaded taxes, then you have to be fined and bankrupt!

In this way, the number of government officials has been reduced a lot, and because of the development of the economy, the tax revenue of the Chinese Empire has been greatly improved, and now the annual financial revenue of the Chinese Empire has exceeded 180 million dragon yuan, which is three times that of the previous one.

But it is not enough at all, excluding the factor of rising prices, that is, the government's investment is particularly large, and the current Chinese Empire has invested several times more in the military, public security, security, education, health, and science. There is also the Nanjing government adhering to the low tax rate that Huaxia has always had, "worth five out of 100!" "This is the highest tax rate, and there is nothing else, it turns out that all regions of the Chinese Empire are relatively closed, and taxes will be collected everywhere, but now you only need to pay taxes once.

made the life of the Nanjing government extremely difficult, if it were not for the support of the royal family, it would have been boasted a long time ago.

Seeing the continuous reduction of the available funds on the government's books, Tang Shaoyi couldn't sit still any longer, and he immediately announced the convening of an enlarged meeting of the Information Administration Yuan, and the first topic was to increase taxes!

In order to be able to pass a bill to increase military spending from the Parliament, the four marshals and two chiefs of staff were no longer in Beijing, and they began to give speeches all over the country, especially in the economic centers of the south, telling the importance of military affairs.

But now everything has exceeded the expectations of these officials.

Huaxia has a very major mistake in modern times, that is, in the use of glass, glass is no stranger to him, more than a thousand years ago, Huaxia can synthesize and smelt glass, but it is a pity that this transparent thing is not applicable in Huaxia.

The first is that the porcelain in China is too developed, and almost all containers can be porcelain. This makes glass lose its value in this important area.

The second is the implicit nature of the Chinese people, it stands to reason that the use of glass as windows will increase the lighting rate, and it should be welcomed, but in fact, the Chinese Empire is willing to use window paper that can be broken with a poke, and it is not willing to use glass.

But glass is very important for the industrialization of the empire, medicine, astronomy, telescopes, light bulbs, etc., even glasses we use very expensive crystal products, so it is very expensive, at that time there were glasses, that was definitely a status symbol.

Therefore, the development of the glass industry is a very important thing, in this matter Guangxu sent a special force, but how to sell the produced glass has become a very important topic.

In order to open up the market and quickly let the people of the empire use this glass, Guangxu used the nirvana in the sales field in this world!

Gratis!

That's right, it's free!

First of all, Guangxu began to use glass in the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace, the government building in Nanjing, and the public government agencies used, and then began to give away glasses in the people!

This method is also used in electricity, and now it is mainly in the city, the power plant established by the royal family, erecting wires, as long as you want, the royal power company will immediately talk about the electric light to your home, which makes the capital of the empire, the vice capital really ushered in the city that never sleeps.

In the economically developed provinces in the south, street lamps and street lamps began to be erected, and at first it was a point in the night sky, and then it was a line, and now it has developed into a piece of surface, with the change of the appearance of the empire, the mentality of the people of the Chinese Empire has also undergone a very big change.

No one dared to bully anyone anymore, and not to bully anyone, because they might have this gun on their bodies, and as expected, the riot did not occur.

Because!

First, the Imperial Imperial Army in China is now the most powerful armed force, and it is difficult for this army to find opponents in the surrounding areas of Asia.

Second, now the gradual increase in the power of the public procuratorate and law, if you commit a crime, unless you die, otherwise you will be chased even to the ends of the earth, and the villain must die, and must pay the price, this is the oath of every member who holds the "Sword of the Law Guard"!

Third, the Chinese Empire is actually a clan society, everyone is not actually fighting alone, they will have several brothers, even if there are no brothers, there will be a few dozen cousins, so you have to think carefully before shooting.

Everyone in Huaxia began to be restless, they all began to compete with money, they were all anxious, and they began to make money all over the world.

At this time, the Nanjing government is going to start increasing taxes!

At the meeting of the all-industry chamber of commerce in Hangzhou, many big businessmen came here, and they now want to discuss the matter of selecting senior administrators.

A middle-aged man of about forty years of age, he wore silver-rimmed glasses (in fact, they were white-framed), his hair was cut almost neatly to his scalp, he had a Chinese face, and his eyebrows seemed to be connected.

The eyes behind the glasses are small, a lying nose, two very thick lips, and the fat on the cheeks tell of his dissatisfaction with his master, and his chin is constantly changing between three and two as his mouth shapes!

He was wearing a dark purple Tang costume, and the buttons of the clothes were made of transparent glass. He was wearing riding boots on his feet, and the shiny uppers indicated that he should rarely ride horses, and it was already very hot at this time, so why not cover his feet!

This person is the president of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, called Song Huichen. This person's family was originally a big family in Hangzhou, and he was originally pouring opium, and his family was very rich, so he also studied for a few years and achieved fame as a talent, but there was no hope of getting it up.

Moreover, Huaxia canceled the opium trade, which caused the family's business to suffer a serious blow, and the family began to fall from this point on, and the original rich young master began to fend for himself.

Just when he was at a loss for his livelihood, Hangzhou's Da Ah Weng came, and he needed the support of the locals when he first arrived at Da Ah Weng, but the original big family was not willing to get too close to these eunuchs at all.

In the face of a lot of good opportunities to grab money in vain, Song Huichen seized the turning point in his life, he worked closely with this big Aweng, and soon used the current technology and products in Hangzhou to open up the domestic and foreign markets.

Cigarettes, glass, textiles, iron smelting, shipbuilding, chemicals, electronics, communications and these industries involve all the livelihood and military industries, and Song Huichen was already a rich man at this time.

The whole Hangzhou is also driven by these industries, has become a very important industrial city in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the royal sent a total of tens of thousands of big Aweng, they can get the latest technology of the Chinese Empire, as well as the royal loan in the Imperial Bank, protected by the government, the imperial army, so the royal industry has become the most important part of the Chinese Empire's economy.

Under the leadership of royal industry and technology, the industrial economy of the empire has reached a new height that has never been seen before!

The purpose of today's meeting is that Song Huichen is about to go to Nanjing for a meeting, and this time the premier convened in a hurry, and there are more than 600 members of the Senior Affairs Yuan, and as long as half of them can attend the meeting this time, it will be considered legal, and the tax increase plan will be passed, and the government will not be allowed to shut down.

But the current merchants of the empire are no longer a class to be slaughtered!

First of all, Song Huichen spoke; "This time the country is in trouble, we should contribute, I agree with the Nanjing government's proposal to increase taxes!"

Then an old man spoke; "We have never owed half a cent of the national tax on the imperial grain, and this unwarranted increase in taxes is really incomprehensible!"

Song Huichen glanced at the old man and said; '"Third uncle! The government now spends a lot of money, building railways, roads, canals, government personnel, hospitals, schools! ”

And the army!

Without a brave army, how can you conquer a territory as large as Mobei Province!

The old man's eyelids didn't talk about it; "The war in Mobei is certain, looking at the Far East and Asia, China is no longer invincible! Why keep such a large army!

This is a reckless force!

There are also schools, hospitals, railways, roads. We can build it ourselves, and we don't need to worry about Nanjing! ”

Song Huichen said; "Third uncle! It's not interesting for you to say that, you know! Who gave the good life now, if it weren't for the emperor's wisdom, would everyone here have such a big industry? ”

At this time, another middle-aged man in his fifties spoke; "Chairman Song! We have never forgotten the royal grace, and we always keep the emperor's grace in our hearts! It's not like some people who keep it on their lips! ”

Song Huichen stood up and frowned and said, "Second uncle! You are all my elders! Don't do that, okay!

When I arrived in Nanjing, I must have agreed to increase taxes, and I don't want Hangzhou to become a place to resist taxes! ”

Then a young man stood up and spoke; "I don't agree with a tax increase! You know. We are now in the tax filing system, and if I pay one percentage point more, I will lose millions of profits!

I have three custom ships in the shipyard, and the factory is also expanding, and I don't have the money to pay taxes! Overcharged taxes! ”

Song Huichen suddenly realized something, the atmosphere at the scene seemed to be aimed at him alone, looking at these brothers and elders who usually made a fortune together, he felt very strange!

Song Huichen said with a gloomy face; "Is that what everybody thinks?"

At this time, another middle-aged man with glasses spoke; "Chairman Song! We're no better than you, we're all petty fights! It is a total of three years, and everyone has worked very hard in these three years, so that there is a small scale today, and it is really inappropriate to raise taxes at this time! ”

The atmosphere of the scene froze all at once!

Song Huichen said; "Everybody has problems! But the most important thing is not to forget your roots!

Come! Close the door, no one is allowed to leave without discussing a result! ”

At this time, a young man took out a pistol and slapped it on the table, and then spoke loudly to Song Huichen; "What! Chairman Song! Want to have tea here? ”

Song Huichen said; "Yo! Bright guys! You're so majestic! ”

The young man said; "You're not doing it right! And Lao Tzu is so majestic! What are you doing! ”

The bearded old man, who kept pointing on the ground with his cane, spoke with great excitement; "Nonsense! What are you going to do, put away your guns! You are all from Hangzhou, not soldiers on the battlefield, calm down! ”

At this time, both sides are silent!

The temperature at the scene dropped to a little below freezing!

At this time, a large group of people came in from outside, this group of people was richly dressed, led by an old man wearing a light yellow Tang costume and a red handbag!

When Song Huichen saw the figure of the old man, he immediately jumped up from his seat and ran towards the old man quickly!

When he came to the old man's side, he said; "Godfather! Why are you here! ”

Everyone else in the hall also stood up, and those who were sitting in the back also stepped forward, and when the old man walked in front of him, they all shouted "Hello!" ”

The old man in military uniform kept nodding his head!

After coming to the venue and sitting down, he spoke; Do it all!

Song Huichen stood by the old man's side!

Aung spoke; "Is there anything you want me to help with?"

This is the mantra of this old man, and the particularity of his identity makes his position very detached!

This old man also accepts gifts, you have more gifts, he dares to accept them, you receive less, and he will not show you a look. The most important thing is that this old man really does things for the businessmen, if it were not for the existence of this Ah Weng, the current industry in Hangzhou would not be like this.

But everyone at the scene didn't dare to speak!

Aweng said, "Then I'll talk about it first!

I thought I was eleven-year-old and pure, and I thought I could enter the palace early to serve the emperor! But there is no such blessing in this life!

The way into the palace is very difficult, there are tens of thousands of people waiting outside the palace to enter the palace, and I have been waiting for more than 40 years!

I have been to the palace several times during this period, but it is not long!

Fortunately, the emperor will not give up! I caught the last chance to enter the palace!

Entering the palace with tens of thousands of people is also a rare thing in ancient times!

Do you know that I am in that palace? Serve anyone!

Song Huichen, who had been straightening his ears, waited for his eyes and shook his head to say that he didn't know!

Aung didn't answer positively. Instead, he took out a card and handed it to Song Huichen!

Song Huichen opened the card, and after reading it, he immediately lifted his shirt! Kneeling on his knees, a very respectful old man kowtowed!

Speaking of "I wish my father-in-law a long life!" Shou and Tianqi! ”

The old man talked about how to live with Tianqi!

Get up!

After Song Huichen stood up, he immediately passed the card to the others, and then the others knew that there was a card congratulating the old man on his 56th birthday, which was nothing!

But there was a seal on the card, which was a seal script, closely arranged together, and these people present recognized the text on it at a glance as "Kun'an Palace Seal!" ”。 This means that this card is from the Queen!

Judging from the tone, this is more like a greeting card from a junior to an elder! It seems that this Ah Weng and the queen must have a deep relationship! Otherwise, how could the queen remember the birth of a minion!

Everyone respects the Ah Weng in front of them even more!

Aung said; "Song Huichen! You go to Nanjing for a meeting, do you want to agree with Tang Shaoyi's tax increase plan! ”

Song Huichen said: "Godfather, why is this! ”

Aung said; "Do you know how many people there are in Hangzhou now?"

Song Huichen shook his head! I don't know!

Aung said; "1.1 million people!"

Then he asked; "Have you gone to Yuhang County?"

A man stood up and spoke; "Awn! Where is my chemical plant! ”

Aung nodded! Talked about; "Where is the gathering place of the poor, there are no roads, no electricity, and more importantly, no sewers!

Rows of small board houses are connected, which is even more difficult than in the countryside!

Everyone was silent, not knowing what Aung was going to say!

Aung continued; "We're going to give the workers a raise! The ultimate goal of the empire is to let them buy at least one house, and the ultimate goal of building railways, roads, and armies is to live a good life for the people.

Now we all need money, especially with the expansion of industrial production, so we don't have much money for the government! ”

Song Huichen recalled Ah Weng's words in his mind!

Aweng spoke again; "You don't have to worry about Tang Shaoyi, the emperor really doesn't have much cash, his main assets are in the military industry and the tobacco industry, but there are still a lot of industries under the names of the queen and the two concubines, I estimate it!

The queen and the concubine are about to sell the royal assets, so don't accept this part of the property at a low price, even if you are loyal to the royal family! ”

This news stirred up like a bomb!

Now Hangzhou's royal industry accounts for more than half, and a very important reason to buy is that many industries are created by these old men, not only leading in China, but also leading in the world, so now many of Huaxia's products are unique in the world, and the monopoly business has done all corners of the world.

Da Aung said; "When you arrive in Nanjing, find our general representative in Zhejiang, and discuss the overall idea! On the whole, military spending should be reduced, and this time it should be, but the Navy cannot be reduced, at this time my advice!

Okay, I'll go back first, and you're talking about it!

At this time, someone handed the card with both hands!

Ah Weng carefully put the card into his arms, he left, go back to prepare, he will definitely receive a lot of gifts in the evening, it seems that tonight will be again, count the money to cramps, unpack and unpack until the hands are soft!

。。。。。。

In Tokyo, Japan, there are no signs of cold in May, and the windows can be opened at this time, and the cherry blossoms will be ready to bloom after a while.

Because almost all of the kerosene is now imported from the Chinese Empire, even though the price of the Chinese Empire is much cheaper than that of importing from the United States, Japan feels that it cannot afford too much of an expense. Therefore, at night in Edo, Japan, if there is no need, the people go to bed early, except for the night market, which is supposed to be a bustling night, and the whole of Edo is almost in the dark.

Directly in front of the Imperial Palace in Japan is a square where the emperor stands on the palace and receives the worship of his subjects in the square, and on the other side of the square is the Japanese government office, which is still manned when it is dark.

Ito Hirobumi had not yet left his office, and the Meiji Restoration had been going on for many years, and had made great strides in many areas, especially diplomatically, and Japan had now almost canceled its unequal treaties with Britain and the United States.

Now Japan is already a completely independent country, especially in industrialization, Japan has implemented the privatization of state-owned assets, supported several large chaebols, Mitsubishi is now the most powerful chaebol in Japan.

It can be said that Japan's economy is almost supported by these big chaebols, and such chaebols have a very obvious advantage, that is, they can concentrate their forces on doing great things, and now Japan uses 60 percent of the country's finances to develop the military and military industry.

With a 10% pay cut for administrative officials across the country and the issuance of national bonds for military construction throughout the country, Japan is now a war machine that is constantly accumulating militarily.

Japan, which looks infinitely beautiful on the outside, also knows that it has its own suffering!

Ito Hirobumi picked up a cup of strong tea on the table, the water was already a little cold, but he didn't let people replace it with an empty stomach, but drank the strong tea with a lot of sugar in the cup!

In order to develop the military, the emperor has already announced to the outside world, and he set an example, the navy does not succeed, and only eats one meal a day!

The emperor doesn't just talk about it, he really only eats one meal. As the prime minister of the Empire of Japan, he should lead by the emperor, so Ito Hirobumi also only eats one meal a day. But I'm really hungry!

Therefore, after dark, drinking a cup of strong tea with a lot of sugar is a very ideal way to replenish calories, and it is this method that Hirobumi Ito relies on to maintain his physical strength to run Japan's government affairs, and it is this war machine that is running step by step

At this time, Japanese Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu stumbled over, and he came to Ito Hirobumi's table sweating profusely, Ito Hirobumi had never seen this old guy so flustered. Mutsu Munemitsu arrived at the table, picked up Hirobumi Ito's cup and drank it, but only a few drops of water dripped from it.

Mutsu Somitsu found it sweet, so he emptied it a few times, trying to empty more sugar water, but in vain!

At this time, Mutsu Munemitsu spoke; "King Gong Neng Bai Jiujun killed the owner of an antique shop in Huaxia!"

Hirobumi Ito stood up at once and spoke; "What! Is this true? ”

Mutsu Munemitsu said; "It's true! Not one person, but the entire antique shop, a total of three people were killed by the ronin samurai! ”

Hirofumi Ito said; "Is there any reaction from the Huaxia Empire now?"

Mutsu Munemitsu said; "The current Chinese ambassador to Japan has been stationed in that antique shop, taking pictures on the spot, our police can't get in at all, he said, he has already made a report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanjing, the Ministry of the Interior of Beijing, and soon the Chinese Empire will make a national-level request, and now he requires us to find the murderer and severely punish the murderer!"

Ito Hirobumi sat back in his seat and spoke; "The hegemony of the empire cannot be abandoned halfway!"

Mutsu Munemitsu said; "What should we do!"

Hirofumi Ito said; "The little emperor of Huaxia is a talent, but he is too young, and now he has nothing to do in Beijing, and that Tang Shaoyi in Nanjing is a little cowardly, and now Huaxia is Li Hongzhang is still a bit of a minister!

Wait and see! ”

Mutsu Munemitsu said; "In any case, this matter should be reported to the emperor!"

Hirobumi Ito took out his pocket watch and looked at the time; "Tomorrow! It's too late, the emperor has already slept! ”

。。。。。。。

At this time, in the Chinese Empire, Shang Rongqian was on duty in the Ministry of the Interior today, and now there are not many high-ranking officials in Beijing, and the main political departments are in Nanjing, and the Beijing Division looks like a deputy capital.

Most of the profits of the Ministry of the Interior were invested in the construction of the three armed forces, so Shang Rongqian naturally became a very important official of the Ministry of the Interior, when the Ministry of the Interior received a telegram from the Chinese Empire's embassy in Japan.

Shang Rongqian was eating supper, each person in the duty room had a bowl of rice balls, not enough to add it himself, Shang Rongqian was the chief of staff of the army, and also managed the equipment and supplies of the imperial army. There is no way to do this job without a strong memory and energy.

But with the construction of the imperial army, the upgrading of equipment, there was also the development of local government militias. The competition for weapons rations and other issues between the army made Shang Rongqian feel very tired. It is very important that none of these governors are fuel-efficient lamps.

How could these guys not see that they had such skills before they were at home! Whoever can brag and brag will be able to get the support of the people, and in such an era, as long as the official can make the people make money, he will have the right to speak.

So these governors themselves are a bunch of guys with deep pockets!

When the telegram arrived in front of Shang Rongqian, Shang Rongqian had just rejected a military commander's suggestion to expand the garrison, and when he picked up the bowl in front of him to eat rice balls, the few people on the telegram came into view!

The bowl in the general's hand fell to the ground hard, and the rice balls jumped on the ground a few times, and then scattered and rolled away!

Shang Rongqian shouted as he waited for his eyes; "Bold!"

At this time, the personnel in the duty room of the Qian'an Hall of the Summer Palace were all in good spirits, and they immediately sat up straight, stood their ears, and listened to what was happening and what the chief of staff was going to do!

Shang Rongqian said; "Check the news with Nanjing immediately!"

The staff officer nodded! Gone!

At this time, a Wang Shizhen came to Shang Rongqian and asked; "Chief of Staff! What happened! ”

Shang Rongqian handed the telegram to Wang Shizhen!

Wang Shizhen said; "Inform the Emperor! And then a military council was convened, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs convened! The emperor will definitely let us come up with a countermeasure! ”

Shang Rongqian said; "Someone! Beat the drum in front of the temple and report this telegram to General Mader! Immediately notify Marshal Zhang Zhidong, Marshal Yuan Shikai, Tan Sitong, and Liang Qichao to participate in the political meeting! ”

Be!

。。。。。。

At this time, Guangxu was sleeping with Concubine Jin in his arms! Now Guangxu doesn't have any worries, and he no longer dares to recite the Holy Ancestor's teachings at his door, so he enjoys the treatment that those emperors didn't enjoy before, that is, he can sleep with his wife until dawn!

Now Concubine Jin is already the mother of two children, her figure has been out of shape, fat and round, but there is no way!

The most beautiful Concubine Zhen and the very virtuous queen both went to the vice capital of Nanjing, and they have been there for two months, and they haven't come back yet, so Guangxu has hugged this Jin Concubine the most. Concubine Jin, who has nothing to worry about, is fat again under the nourishment of Guangxu!

When the drum sounded, Guangxu was still asleep, he was so tired, although Concubine Zhen and the queen were not there, but Guangxu was still very diligent, and he would pay the bedside tax every night!

In addition, Jingshi is the education center of China, Guangxu knows in every industry, especially in technology, although Guangxu knows the theory, but there are still many difficulties in practice, so Guangxu is still leading people to practice in the imperial scientists.

Guangxu has recently been concentrating on the study of aero engines, which has always been the shortcoming of the Chinese Empire, but now that the Chinese Empire has begun to study it, I don't believe that this time it will not be able to lead the world trend.

When I came back, I had to face Concubine Jin and those concubines, all of whom were at the age of wolves and tigers, especially after they got fat, the Queen Mother didn't care about these concubines, and the queen was also not long-hearted, why couldn't this harem of Guangxu stage a big drama of hooking and fighting. At least Guangxu didn't see it!

When the drum sounded, Concubine Jin heard it first, and he woke up Guangxu, who was sleeping soundly, Guangxu was also taken aback when he heard the drum, could it be that the Eight-Nation Alliance came in, it was impossible!

At this time, Zhixin and Ma De came in and spoke; "Chief of Staff Shang Rongqian ordered the drum to be beaten, and at this time, a telegram came in from outside!"

Guangxu received the telegram and said after reading it; "Hateful! It's too much of a deception! ”

Change!

Drive the Qian'an Palace!

Promise!

。。。。。。。

When Guangxu came, the two marshals and Tan Sitong, Liang Qichao and other high-ranking officials of the Ministry of the Interior and the General Staff had already arrived!

Guangxu came to the middle and sat down, and then said; "Have you done anything about it?"

Wang Shizhen said; "The minister thinks that this matter must be calm, and it is not appropriate to expand the influence now, let Japan arrest the murderer first, and punish it severely!"

Liang Qichao was very unaccustomed to Wang Shizhen's timid appearance, and said; "Chief of Staff Wang! This is in Japan! Our people died innocently and tragically, and the matter has been very clear, the murderer is a Japanese prince, what else is there to say, we must show a tough attitude! ”

Shang Rongqian said: "I also suggest that Liang participate in politics! ”

Tan Sitong said; "We have a lot of overseas Chinese and Chinese in Japan, and once things intensify, if Japan jumps over the wall in a hurry, they will attack the overseas Chinese in Japan, and our losses will be even greater!"

Guangxu looked at the two marshals who had not spoken!

Yuan Shikai spoke first; "These guys just don't have a beating! Your Majesty! Give the minister the strength of the two armies, and the minister is willing to go to Japan!"

Zhang Zhidong said weakly next to him, nonsense!

Yuan Shikai said very unconvinced; "Zhang Shuai! This Japan is too deceitful! ”

Zhang Zhidong said; "Have you killed fewer Japanese? Think about it! Almost all the Japanese in Beijing have been killed by you, you are stirring up hatred! ”

Yuan Shikai said; "As a soldier of the Empire, it is my duty to protect the people, these people cannot possess those weapons beyond their control, and they refuse to hand them over, they must die!"

Zhang Zhidong ignored Yuan Shikai's explanation!

Zhang Zhidong said to Guangxu; "Your Majesty! It is absolutely not advisable to send troops to attack Japan, and the old minister has no other advice other than this! ”

Guangxu stood up and paced back and forth behind the table, thinking of a way to deal with it!

At this time, the news of checking with Nanjing had returned, and Nanjing not only said that it had also received the news, but also checked with Tokyo again, and asked for some details in detail, and the Nanjing government had sent senior officials to Japan to deal with the matter!

After Guangxu saw the results after confirmation, he understood that the current Japan has a deep hatred for China, and the seeds of hatred have germinated under the cultivation of Japanese militarism, and have grown into a malignant tumor that can no longer be removed, just like a bomb that may explode at any time, what the Chinese Empire has to do is to protect itself.

I'm sorry Japan, although you have been an apprentice of Huaxia for thousands of years, you have never respected the teacher of Huaxia, the guy who deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, the teacher can't help you!

Guangxu said; "Orders the Nanking government:

First, tell the people of the whole country what is going on without concealment, and take the initiative to admit the mistakes of the government, including me. The Ministry of the Interior intends to do so! I'm going to make an edict against myself!

Second, the first-level combat readiness of the three armed forces! The Guards, the Royal Army, the Marines, the Royal Navy, and the Royal Air Force are going to patrol the city and parade the area under their jurisdiction, so that the people can really feel it. The army of the Chinese Empire is fully capable of protecting the safety of the Chinese people!

Third, import and export trade with Japan. From now on, 20% retaliatory tariffs will be added every day until the matter has a satisfactory result for the Chinese Empire! ”

Tan Sitong said; "Don't give the edict of sin!"

No, you have to go down!

First of all, you have to make an edict against yourself!
