Chapter 204: Kang Youwei became an official
On August 2, the first year of the Chinese Empire, the "Sun" newspaper in Nanjing's capital published a front-page headline, telling a story of a conspiracy, Zhang Zhidong had reached a secret agreement with the Japanese. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Zhidong let the Japanese invade, Zhang Zhidong should be canonized by Japan as a prince after the war, and the ruling area is the Far East occupied by the Japanese.
Yuan Shikai who was photographed behind Zhang Zhidong, this guy has been operating in North Korea for many years, but North Korea was easily occupied by Japan, Yuan Shikai is obviously "raising self-respect!" This is also the result of being co-opted and corrupted by Japan, and Japan will let Yuan Shikai be the emperor in Korea in the future, so Yuan Shikai is now betraying the interests of China without a bottom line.
The third is Li Hongzhang, the marshal of the navy, after the Fourth Naval Fleet of the Chinese Empire was completely annihilated, Li Hongzhang did not think about an active counteroffensive strategy, and now the first and second combined fleets, which are the most powerful, do not know where.
Now the Ryukyu Islands and the southeast coast are all escorted by Deng Shichang's Third Combined Fleet, and if it weren't for the fact that each coastal province now has its own coastal armed police force, the coastal residents would have panicked a long time ago.
The original Mawei fleet, Guangzhou fleet and other fleets have been assigned to the local area for anti-smuggling and coastal maintenance of order, and now with the crisis in the form of the imperial maritime frontier, all of them have resumed their military establishment and entered a state of all-weather readiness, and many merchant ships are also being converted into warships, and the battleship Xuanwu is now being intensively renovated in Shanghai.
It is precisely because many people in the coastal provinces now have confidence in their hearts that they are even more unaccustomed to what the navy is doing, and now the navy has not achieved any new results since the Ryukyu Campaign, but has been defeated on a large scale on land. This makes the people of the whole country very anxious.
The current newspaper cannot print the photo on it, but this is not at all difficult for the smart Chinese, the artists of the "Sun" drew several cartoons of the three marshals, although there is no certainty as on the photo, but now the pictures of the ten marshals have been transmitted throughout the country, and anyone who has seen the photos of these three marshals can recognize the three of them at a glance.
The three marshals and the emperor of Japan played mahjong together on a mahjong table, because of the discord between the three marshals, so this emperor always wins cards, so now we always lose territory on the land battlefield,
Li Hongzhang, who is even more angry, seems to have taken advantage of the Chinese Empire on the surface, but in fact, these are all Li Hongzhang and the Japanese emperor acting, which was all arranged in advance, and now the Japanese navy has gradually gained the upper hand in naval warfare.
In the book, there are also Japanese spies in the Nanjing government, and their official positions are not low. Tang Shaoyi has no way to control the cabinet at all, as mentioned in the description; "The Japanese appreciate the talent of this traitor, especially the talent of this person in business!"
Now there are a large number of such remarks in the media festival of the Chinese Empire, in addition to the newspapers run by government agencies are still maintaining objectivity and fairness, the people of the entire land of China are now very distrustful of the Nanjing government, the Royal Navy, and the Royal Army.
Especially for the three marshals, there are now calls for the replacement of the three marshals, and many members of the Senate have begun to discuss and propose a bill to let these three men step down immediately. The people were also very dissatisfied with the Ministry of the Interior in Jingshi.
What is the emperor doing now!
What about the mighty strength of the expedition against Tsarist Russia? Isn't it enough to have six sons now? I know all day long that I am hiding in the Summer Palace, what is this emperor doing! Why is it not as good as when you are seventeen!
In the face of the nationwide discussion, the Nanjing government and the Ministry of the Interior of Beijing both felt a great headache. First of all, they openly refuted the rumors in the newspapers sponsored by the government organs, such as the "Jinghua Times" in Beijing and the "Tianjin Guardian" in Tianjin, and the government and the emperor will not accept these remarks without real evidence, and the public procuratorial organs reserve the right to investigate and investigate the acts of spreading rumors and seriously injuring others!
But at this time, the people no longer listened to the voice of the government at all, and let the three incompetent marshals resign first, which is what they are about to see, and letting the newly promoted three marshals take command is the hope of victory in China!
This kind of voice has become very marketable in the Information Council, and many members of the parliament have begun to openly engage in tandem!
Tan Sitong and Tang Shaoyi have already felt unprecedented pressure, Tan Sitong met with Kang Youwei, the opinion leader of Jingshi, in Jingshi!
The current Kang Youwei is also a celebrity in Jingshi and even the entire empire, but it is a pity that such a celebrity cannot get any official position in the government of the Chinese Empire! Even his apprentice Liang Qichao has already become a ministerial-level high-ranking official like the vice minister of the interior.
In fact, Liang Qichao's placement under Kang Youwei's door is purely a trivial matter, and after Kang Youwei was promoted in the examination, there was no improvement in his fame. However, Kang Youwei has a little family wealth and likes to visit the virtuous and make friends, and he has a lot of books at home.
At that time, Liang Qichao was a young genius, and he was selected at a young age, and he was a leading talent among his peers. At that time, Liang Qichao learned that Kang Youwei's home collection was very rich, so he visited the door and wanted to borrow a few books to read.
Kang Youwei knew Liang Qichao's talent, so he told Liang Qichao; "If you want to borrow a book to read, you can! I have a lot of good books here. But I have one condition, that is, you Liang Qichao want to worship me Kang Youwei as a teacher!
At that time, Liang Qichao was very young, and this child was still a very kind and innocent child in his heart. At that time, there were already a lot of his old people, and there was nothing more. And Kang Youwei was also slightly famous at that time, so Liang Qichao knocked his head on the ground, and since then he has been apprenticed under Kang Youwei's disciple. In fact, Kang Youwei really has nothing to give to Liang Qichao.
After Liang Qichao took up his post in the Ministry of the Interior, he couldn't stand Kang Youwei's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and he once gave Kang Youwei activities. But don't know why? Even with Liang Qichao's escort, Kang Youwei just can't get any position in the government of the Chinese Empire, not even an honorary title, or even a local district and county councilor.
Once again, when Liang Qichao, Tan Sitong, Yang Rui and other officials of the Ministry of the Interior reported to the Guangming Emperor in internal affairs, they mentioned Kang Youwei's innovative ideas and ability to govern the world. I didn't expect the Emperor of Light to give a very clear answer!
A few of you will stay away from this Kang Youwei in the future, so don't have anything to do with him!
At this time, Liang Qichao understood that the root was here, and it turned out that the emperor was taking special care of Kang Youwei! That's really powerless!
But Kang Youwei did not resign himself to degenerate, he began his career in the opposition, bent on doing things for the country, and now he feels that the opportunity has come, the emperor has been trapped by the villains, and has lost his autonomy, so it has led to the repeated defeats of the current war.
The most important thing now is to let the emperor regain his rights, and then the emperor will drive the expedition in person, and the glory of the First Great Patriotic War online, so now Kang Youwei is very busy, and he is very happy in the Beijing Division!
Tan Sitong had to come forward now, but when he saw the famous opinion leader in Jingshi, he couldn't help but have a shocked expression. Kang Youwei donated an official position of a four-grade Daotai before, but this official position no longer existed after the official restructuring of the Chinese Empire, so Kang Youwei's four-grade Daotai was donated in vain.
But the four-grade official uniform had already been made, and Kang Youwei was really reluctant to throw it away. Today, I know that Minister of the Interior Tan Sitong is meeting him, this is a high-ranking official at the vice level of the Chinese Empire, which is equivalent to the level of the prime minister.
Therefore, Kang Youwei decided to wear something more formal, and this four-grade official is very suitable. At present, the favorite clothing of officials and adult men of the Chinese Empire is the clothing designed after the military uniform of the Chinese Empire.
The upper body is very similar to the tunic suit, but the folk squires and government officials will make these costumes slightly longer than the military uniform, shorter than the military coat, and the fabrics are also strange, all kinds of materials are available, unlike the woolen textiles preferred for military uniforms!
The trousers are paired with the leather boots of the Chinese Empire, as long as they are not too short, the hunchbacked man can wear a sense of majesty. But today's Kang Youwei is still wearing the most old-fashioned official uniform!
may be because the weather is too hot, Kang Youwei did not wear a flower feather on the top, but the front and back of the pearl and the official uniform on the body are not missing, you can see that the front and back pictures are the image of a fighting, and the equipment marked at this time.
But the pearl on Kang Youwei's chest is obviously beyond the norms that he, a fourth-grade official, should wear, three half-fist-sized red agate pearls, with the shaking of Kang Youwei's body one after the other, this is a pearl that only a first-grade official can wear, Kang Youwei definitely knows.
After talking about Tan Sitong, Kang Youwei didn't have any intention of seeing anything outside at all, he just took a sip of tea, and then began to talk to Tan Sitong; "Inner Minister! First of all, the guy who should be dismissed the most is Yuan Shikai!
Yuan Shikai has been operating in Korea for many years, and the "Renwu Mutiny" in 1882 was the one he led his troops to pacify, and the Japanese assassinated him when he was in Korea, and Tal almost lost his life in the hands of the Japanese.
But if you look at what Yuan Shikai did in North Korea, as if he didn't have anything to do, according to "subordinates! "I know, this Yuan Shikai hasn't even been to the front line once! Looking back now, this Yuan Shikai is definitely a master of acting!
Even the emperor deceived him, but it is the crime of deceiving the king, and now he should be removed from his position immediately, and he should return to Beijing to report on his work.
Then there are Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong, under the push of Kang Youwei, now the Huaxia Empire is already a spy of Japan on the front front, and the fairy A Huaxia is already in danger, and only by obeying Kang Youwei's methods can Huaxia be saved!
When Kang Youwei was tired of talking and picked up the teacup again, he found that there was no drop of water, but it seemed that the people here had no intention of refilling the cup for him, and then Kang Youwei carefully observed Tan Sitong's demeanor.
Tan Sitong sat behind a big desk opposite Kang Youwei, and his two hands were slowly turning his own fountain pen with the gold tip of the hero's shot. His eyes looked nonchalantly at the ground in front of him, and Kang Youwei's impassioned speech just now didn't seem to have much effect on him at all.
At this time, Kang Youwei said; "Inner Minister! Why didn't you see my apprentice Liang Qichao! ”
At this time, after Tan Sitong heard Liang Qichao's name, he slowly took his head, and then put the comparison in his hand on the table and said; "Brother Kang! I would like to appoint you as Special Senior Minister of the Ministry of the Interior, with the rank of Deputy Director-General, and I will take office immediately! ”
After Kang Youwei heard this, he was first a clever, he immediately stood up from the sofa, and now it is not popular to place springs in the sofa of the Chinese Empire, so the big pit that appears after doing it will disappear after a long time.
Kang Youwei immediately said; "Although I am very busy now, I can serve the empire and the emperor, and I should bear the responsibility at that time!"
Tan Sitong said; "You work in the Information Department of the Ministry of the Interior, and you connect with the Propaganda Department in Nanjing, and the policies and pace of our Ministry of the Interior and the Nanjing Cabinet should be as consistent as possible, and most of the time we follow the direction in Nanjing. Only when Nanjing does not know what to do, will our Ministry of the Interior ask the emperor to give the highest instructions."
After Tan Sitong finished speaking, he spoke in a special low tone; "Brother Kang! I don't know if you understand this? ”
Kang Youwei needed a little time to digest the information in it, but at that moment when he could be an official, Kang Youwei didn't have time to hesitate, so he talked about it immediately; "Got it, I got it!"
Tan Sitong nodded, then got up from his chair and spoke; "Brother Kang! Go home and change your clothes! Then he slapped his left hand twice on his chest and said that now the officials of the government of the empire are going to wear new clothes! ”
Kang Youwei immediately nodded and said; "Understood, understood! Then you should be busy first! I won't bother, I'll go home and get ready first! ”
While speaking, Kang Youwei exited Tan Sitong's office!
After Kang Youwei left, the door by the window behind Tan Sitong opened, and then Liang Qichao came out of it and came behind Tan Sitong to speak; "Does this work?"
Tan Sitong said; "Now I can only take one step at a time, tell Yang Rui them, but communicate well with this Kang cannon afterwards, now that they are all colleagues, don't fight in the nest, many things are not what he should be in charge of, don't make trouble for the leader anymore!"
Liang Qichao said; "I'll say it myself!"

On August 15, the first year of Gwangmyeong, Pyongyang City, the capital of Silla Province, is now very busy, especially the military hospital, which is the central hospital of the field hospital, and many wounded soldiers are processed step by step on the front line before being transported here.
The doctors here will formulate more detailed rehabilitation plans and programs for the wounded soldiers, and the injuries that are generally sent here have no possibility of returning to the battlefield. The high temperature is also the enemy of the wounded soldiers, and Pyongyang is located on the impact plain of the Taedong River, and the abundant sunlight and water make the rice here grow very luxuriantly.
This is also conducive to the reproduction of germs, although the empire now has very reliable antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, but there are still some soldiers whose wounds are infected and suppurated and necrotic, and have to be amputated.
The field hospital is always a very strong smell of disinfectant, and now the disinfectant is a red, blackened liquid, the main ingredients of which are ******** and alcohol and the like, asking about such a taste, the appetite is suddenly reduced by half, even if there is no restriction on the food for the wounded and sick now, and the subsidies given are also a lot, but there are still many soldiers who are suffering from illness and lack of appetite.
Many of the busiest merchants and the army were now setting up factories in Silla to produce tents, shovels, clothing, shoes, socks, and so on for the army.
Now there is a government-in-exile in Pyongyang represented by Kim Yong-woo, a military general, and the former North Korean Prime Minister Pak Jong-seung, and the death of Concubine Min hit them hard, and now they are more worried about their king Yi Hee, but now they can't do anything about it!
At the headquarters of the Third Army of the Chinese Imperial Army, this is also Yuan Shikai's "handsome tent!" ”。 At this time, Yuan Shikai was constantly demonstrating the dynamics of the battlefield with Lu Yonghu and other senior officers, and now Renben began to gather superior forces on the opposite side of Kaesong to prepare for a single-point breakthrough.
Now the Chinese Empire plans to deploy three columns in Silla Province, one column with 50,000 fighters, and three combat columns plus logistics support personnel will reach 180,000. Combined with the 450,000 militias planned to be mobilized in Silla and other provinces, the total strength will reach more than 600,000. If the logisticians who were on board to supply the militia system were to be supplied, the Chinese Empire would have invested a million troops in Silla.
But this all takes time, now Japan has gone crazy, and two divisions have been transferred to Korea in the country, and now Japan is also expanding its army frantically, according to the current mobilization speed in China, it will take at least three months to complete the mobilization!
Yuan Shikai asked; "What is the probability that Japan will attack in the direction of Kaesong, this place is our key defense area, is there a lot of heads in Japan? Are they all going to die on the other side of Kaesong? ”
At this time, a staff officer spoke; "According to the reports from the front, only the Japanese artillery fire on the opposite side of Kaesong is the most fierce on the front line, and the return fire in other places is very weak! Therefore, we judge that there is a little concentration of Japan's superior forces here! ”
Yuan Shikai gently rubbed his temples with his right hand, and then said; "Order the front line to stabilize its positions and not to attack at will. As soon as there is a special situation, report it immediately, and if you have intelligence reconnaissance, let's take a good look at it! ”
Then he left the big sand table that had been placed at the end of the headquarters, went to his office, and sat down on the sofa. Now Yuan Shikai is the supreme commander of the Silla Theater of Operations, and the pressure is very high, especially to carry out the orders of the General Staff!
At this time, Wang Shizhen took out a tabloid of the Beijing Division, this newspaper escalated Yuan Shikai's sin again, and this time designed a new image for Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai's big round face is a woman's clothes, this is the biggest insult to a man, a soldier!
After Yuan Shikai glanced at it, he gently put down the newspaper and said; "I'm not Sima Yi, if anyone dares to give me women's clothes, Lao Tzu will shoot him!"
Wang Shizhen smiled slightly and said; "It's not a way for us to keep doing this! And the order of the General Staff has not been spoken, don't let us attack! Can we attack appropriately now? ”
Yuan Shikai tried his best to straighten his body at this time, and at the same time tried his best to close his big belly inside, but the effect was not good, he decisively gave up the move of retracting his stomach, and then looked at Wang Shizhen and said; "Some things haven't come yet, and now the 'dough' over there has just begun to ferment, and we still have to wait!"
。。。。。。
Fukuoka City, July 28, Meiji 25, Japan. Fukuoka City is now a necessary transit point for entering and leaving Korea, and most of the supplies to the new Japanese army are transported from here, and the goods and wounded brought back from Korea are also landed in this port city.
Since the start of the war with the Chinese Empire, Fukuoka City has treated tens of thousands of wounded, and although many of the wounded have returned to China, they have not been able to survive to the end, because people are not able to produce antibiotics in large quantities, and a large part of them are purchased through the international third-party market, which is very expensive!
Ordinary soldiers, unless it is a last resort, are not qualified to use it at all. Even if I used it, because I couldn't use it continuously, I ended up getting infected because I couldn't completely reduce inflammation and the injury was repeated. Therefore, the Japanese soldiers who die directly on the battlefield are far less likely to die from injuries and diseases.
And now there is a very terrible disease in Fukuoka, and many people first have diarrhea, which was a very common thing in times of intense war, but then things can no longer be ignored.
Many people who originally looked very good, just died of diarrhea, the disease came very urgently, at first it was just a little bit of pulling, but within 24 hours, because of diarrhea, people will immediately become dehydrated, until they can't stand up at all, while diarrhea, convulsions, and then die of exhaustion in bed.
There are many places in Fukuoka where this kind of patient has started to appear, and there is no effective way to find it, but the condition can be relieved, and there is already a situation of infusion treatment in this era.
Supplementing normal saline and glucose injection can provide water and nutrients to the patient, as long as the infusion can be continued, the patient's condition is stabilized first, then there will be a glimmer of life, but the current Japanese pharmaceutical industry simply does not have the ability to produce these drugs, and it is too expensive to buy them in the international market.
Only the prices of these drugs in the country of origin are fair, but the country of origin obviously will not sell these drugs to Japan, because the country of origin is the Chinese Empire provoked by Japan, and now the Chinese Empire is not only severing economic exchanges with Japan, but also greatly increasing the export tariffs on strategic materials.
At the Tokyo base camp in Japan, Emperor Meiji once again convened the Imperial Council. Many of the Japanese ministers at the meeting were in a heavy mood!
Emperor Meiji sat behind a layer of gauze curtains, opposite the members of the Japanese cabinet and the senior commanding generals of the base camp sitting at a generous table.
Emperor Meiji asked; "Is there a plague in Tokyo?"
At this time, all the generals and officials did not dare to speak, and the lower ranks all looked at Ito Hirobumi, the prime minister of the cabinet, at this time Ito Hirobumi could not hide, he could only bite the bullet, stood up, walked in front of Meiji, and bowed deeply first!
Then facing Meiji behind the curtain, he half-bent his aching back and spoke; "Tokyo has now started to quarantine people who are sick, and there are still very few people who are sick, and it is completely controllable! Your Majesty, please rest assured! ”
Meiji didn't comment on Ito's answer, but continued to ask; "With the Chief of Staff of Prince Chiren of Nishikawa Palace, when will we be able to capture the Korean Peninsula completely!"
Prince Shihito Nishikawanomiya, like Hirobumi Ito, came to Meiji's forehead after completing a set of standard movements, and then half-bent his body and said; "Our 1st Front, under the leadership of Yamagutomo, will soon be able to capture Vladivostok. When the time comes, the Huaxia Empire will definitely succumb! ”
Meiji said lightly, it's too slow!
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! 】
