Chapter 16 Liu Ming came

The next morning, Guangxu saw the legend of the Qing Dynasty Liu Mingchuan, this person is not as tall and mighty as the legend, but a little thin guy, but the pair of eyes as sharp as eagle eyes, all the time revealing shrewd and capable, this time he came to report work, originally he was the governor of Fujian, but later saw that Taiwan is very important, he has been clamoring for the establishment of a province in Taiwan, originally he was the governor of Taiwan at most half a year according to the convention, but he loves Taiwan too much, So I was in Taiwan for more than half a year.

This time he came to Taiwan, firstly, to report on his work, and secondly, to ask for money!

Listening to Liu Mingchuan and the courtiers below arguing in a mess, Guangxu is still really anxious, Guangxu is still very anxious, in fact, Cixi in the back is also very anxious, can you stop arguing, is it officially difficult, let you figure out a way, but you old guys know how to quarrel!

Yes!

It's annoying!

In fact, this is not a thing, the central government has no money, but the current Qing Dynasty still has the most important function, that is, legitimacy!

Don't underestimate this legal rationality, the Qing Dynasty was the only legitimate government in the country at this time, but it was not the later warlord melee period, and the central government's decrees could still be unified, so Guangxu picked up the paperweight (this is made of brass, and it is gilded, and there is a pattern under the swallowing river on it, which is very good-looking), and is slowly knocking on the table!

Every time he knocked on it, it would be quiet until all the ministers heard Guangxu knocking on the table, and it was quiet.

Guangxu began to speak, the Qing Dynasty is still not the world of the Qing Dynasty?

The guys suddenly fell to their knees!

Get up!

The imperial court has no silver taels for you, but there is no shortage of silver taels in this world, as long as you look for it carefully, there will definitely be one, and there will be a lot of it!

There is also the imperial court can not give you financial support, but the imperial court can give you policy support, Taiwan new, in recent years, there have been many wars, a hundred wastes to be rebuilt, but this is also a positive side, on such a basis, we have to take into account it will not be too much, built we will have a good Taiwan, see not good is not a big deal, anyway, it is not much better, so you don't have to worry!

First, a naval fleet should be established in Taiwan, and warships will be temporarily transferred from the existing four major fleets, and the purpose of the training of the Beiyang Naval Division was to prepare for the establishment of other modern fleets!

At this time, Li Hongzhang said; "Your Majesty, the current North Sea Fleet has just become an army, is it too early to separate at this time?"

Guangxu said; "It's early! Why don't I wait until the melons are ripe and eat the sweet melons! But now if I don't eat, I'm going to starve to death, I can't watch Taiwan be depressed and lonely like this, the whole country is my people, this Beiyang is not rich, but it can still live, but Taiwan has nothing at all!

There is also the support of taxation, Taiwan is now a province everywhere with money, you will inevitably have to borrow, so let's make an agreement, Taiwan before the debt is paid, after the imperial court Taiwan's taxes are reported to the imperial court, the imperial court will not move, all in the return to you Taiwan for construction, how about!

As soon as Guangxu said this, the ministers were in a commotion again!

Weng Tongyi stood up again: Your Majesty! Now that the treasury is empty and the money is officially tight, if this is the case in Taiwan, then all other places will follow suit.

Okay teacher, of course I know this, how can there be only good things in the world, there has always been responsibility and obligation at the same time, so the responsibility will come!

There is also policy and judicial support, from now on, except for the death penalty in Taiwan, which needs to be reported to the imperial court, the imperial court will not interfere in the economy and culture. Of course, when Taiwan needs the support of the imperial court, the imperial court will definitely come out for you!

That is to say, Taiwan will be under the full protection of the imperial court's armed forces, like protecting a baby, so that you can grow up quickly, will not give you many constraints, you can better develop your own path according to your actual conditions, we can predict that in less than three or five years, Taiwan will have earth-shaking changes (just think about the later Shenzhen Special Economic Zone)!

Liu Mingchuan The imperial court has done this step, can you still say that the imperial court has not paid enough!

You should know what the ministers present are worried about, let me say it, Taiwan has been 200 years since the defeat of the Zheng family, but he is indeed the latest to join the Qing Dynasty, and the ministers are worried that we will be separated by the two sides of the strait, although we look at each other, but we cannot be of one heart and one mind.

I don't see it that way, sometimes if you want to get something, you don't have to hold on to him tightly, let go of the opposite hand, let the heart connect, although the thing is not in your hand at that time, but you will feel where he is, he will not leave me!

At this time, Guangxu turned his head and said to Cixi behind him, Emperor Dad! If we win, Taiwan will be a "cornucopia" of our Qing Dynasty, and if we do not succeed, Taiwan will still be our Taiwan, and we will have nothing to lose! What do you say?

Cixi said!

Liu Ming passed you forward to listen to the order!

During your tenure as governor of Taiwan, you have the right to cut first and then play, Zhuo Jingyuan, Zhiyuan, and Pingyuan returned to Taiwan with Liu Ming to form a Taiwan naval division, and the Taiwan naval division was managed by the Guangzhou naval division before the fleet and the home port were completed!

When Guangxu heard Cixi say this, he first rested with Cixi!

The ministers who followed followed also obeyed the order!

At this time, Guangxu talked about it!

Liu Mingchuan, before you go to Taiwan this time, we will go to a place where there is what we need most, that is, money, and talent, and take these three warships with you.

Liu Mingchuan asked, "I don't know where the emperor asked Weichen to go?" ”

Guangxu said; "Nanyang"

The Chinese in Nanyang, how many Chinese have been treated unfairly overseas for many years, that is because our country is weak, and the imperial court does not pay enough attention to and take these overseas remnants seriously, this is my mistake, it is my failure to think it through!

If you know that we are wrong, we will correct it, and you will go to Nanyang this time to bring Chinese to comfort the overseas Chinese in Nanyang, and you should pay attention to the fact that in Nanyang, let the Chinese who identify with our Chinese culture as long as they think that they are still Chinese, they must be comforted, that is, in the future, Huaxia will spare no effort to protect their legitimate interests and property safety!

You also want to explain that the country is currently in a period of upward movement, in a period of change and development, and that talent and technology are needed in all aspects, and that the emperor hopes that they will be able to return to China to invest in the development of industry, improve national strength, improve the quality of the Chinese people, and most importantly, improve the status of the Chinese people in the international community, as long as it is conducive to the growth of the country's military strength, I will support it. As long as it is a policy that can improve the level of the economy, I will support it. As long as it is a cause that conforms to the fundamental interests of the 40,000,000 people of the Qing Dynasty, I will support it. As long as it can improve the international status of the Chinese people of all ethnic groups, I will support it.

Liu Mingchuan took these four-point principles to Nanyang to publicize and preach, if you can effectively solve the difficulties of some local Chinese and overseas Chinese, it will be better and more convincing, which is also the legal basis for your development and reform in Taiwan in the future!

Please keep it in mind!

Guangxu at this time for the first time set the basic tone of reform, this argument will not be opposed by anyone, under this correct guideline, as long as not deviate, Guangxu believes that the following is okay, these words can certainly play a role in the direction of guidance for some people, but Guangxu did not expect that is still in the pre-modern country, his long-standing inertia is so strong, there are really many places that do not take Guangxu as a dish at all, and some places are taking the opportunity to make money, of course, There are those who have done well, such as Zhang Zhidong in Lianghu, Li Hongzhang in Zhili, and Yuan Shikai in North Korea, which we will talk about later.

Now all the ministers and Cixi feel that what Guangxu said is feasible, so they are appointing Liu Mingchuan as the "Minister of Nanyang Propaganda and Comfort" on behalf of the Son of Heaven to comfort the Nanyang Chinese and overseas Chinese!

At the same time, it was officially proposed to transfer Zhang Zhidong to the position of the governor of the two lakes, this position is too important, and it will take a while, but Guangxu knows that there is not much time left for him, so the old man can only work hard for you.

There is also Li Hongzhang kicked out the establishment of iron and steel enterprises to purchase equipment, Guangxu told him, we must send iron ore and coal matters to the equipment manufacturer to do inspection, and then according to the suitability of the minerals, traffic conditions comprehensive investigation, determine the best site selection, compare equipment quotations, etc., and then go to buy equipment. Don't go on the horse blindly, waste money and waste money.

Then Li Hongzhang began to make suggestions, set up a special team, began to send samples from the existing iron mines and coal mines in the country to Europe and the United States for laboratory comparison, and submitted a quotation for equipment, in modern terms, it will be to start inquiry!

Cixi did not stop this, and the ministers also agreed, and it was quickly passed!

The next thing is to appoint Duan Qirui, this time Guangxu didn't speak, Guangxu said to Cixi yesterday, her old man said again, when Guangxu heard Cixi say, "When my first modern army of the Qing Dynasty will be born in Tibet, I always feel that this old woman must have been excited last night and didn't fall asleep!" ”

Duan Qirui's appointment was quickly approved, "Appoint Duan Qirui as the vice minister in Tibet, lead the War Department of the Royal Naval University to train troops in Tibet, and at the same time take full responsibility for Tibet's military affairs!" ”

After the next dynasty, Guangxu and Cixi met this Liu Mingchuan together, that is, Liu ** in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi!
