Zeng Boheng and Peng Yulin advocated cultivating and selecting talents in China. Zeng Guoquan proposed in "Preparing for Coastal Defense in Accordance with the Order": "The selection of generals in China and Turkey should imitate Western methods and be implemented in China, without going overseas. He said: "The West is in charge, and the gunner, captain, and team commander must be gradually promoted." Young and learned, strong and walking, so they can do their best. Today, it is planned to imitate it, set up a sailor school in Xiaguan, Jinling, purchase equipment and books, recruit young children who are coarse and familiar with foreign languages, and hire British sailors to come to Middle-earth to teach the methods of heavenly calculation, earth opinion, surveying, driving, formation, fortification, and torpedo. Every six months, teachers take students to take a drill ship to travel to the five continents and practice the wind and sand line; When there is a war on the Taixi Sea, even if it is watched. Each year, the Nanyang Minister will take an examination and be rewarded and punished separately. After about a few years, those who can understand the various laws of piloting and excel are sent to serve as stewards of various military ships, and the Shushui division has become a strong force. Peng Yulin believes: "Generals must also practice and then have courage and stability." The warships of various countries usually cruise on the sea, traveling tens of thousands of miles round and forth, and their training is extremely proficient, so they can easily respond to and manipulate the enemy. All funds in Middle-earth must be pre-raised, and each warship sends students to it, or it is not courageous. It seems that it is necessary to take the students as the management and the former generals as the management bands, and use each other for each other. And go abroad to practice on schedule in sections, and assess talents regardless of qualifications. ”

After the governors complied with the instructions, the Empress Dowager Renxi issued an edict on September 30: "On the aftermath of coastal defense, the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of National Affairs, the Minister of Yamen, together with Li Shaoquan and Lin Yiqing, will properly discuss the performance. The Minister of Military Aircraft, Prime Minister Yamen Wang, Li Shaoquan, Yi Xuan and others immediately complied with the "meeting", and after the meeting, they presented to the Empress Dowager Renxi the "Coastal Defense Fold" of the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen Compliance Conference. Most of the governors put forward decision-making opinions on the idea of "preparing for coastal defense": First, they agreed to set up a leading organization for coastal defense construction and a naval command organization similar to the "sea department" in the western country, and "it seems appropriate to appoint the prime minister's naval affairs yamen to take charge of the affairs of the navy and promote it to the sea department." to decide all maritime affairs, to avoid different powers, and to call for the disease of profanity", that is, to upgrade the Prime Minister's Naval Affairs Yamen, which originally only managed all matters related to the navy, to the "Ministry of Maritime Affairs", to expand its powers, and at the same time to avoid duplication of institutions; Second, on the issue of the number of naval fleets, it is believed that the statements of ten, four, and three are "all for the sake of overall planning." However, instead of driving far and scattering, it is difficult to succeed, it is better to unify and train an army, and think it is prosperous", that is, to establish a unified national navy, considering that "the ship administration has a scale, and the Beiyang shield Kisuke, the terrain is the most concise, and now there are slightly more ships than elsewhere", so it was decided: "It is proposed to merge one from the shipping administration in the Beiyang, and the ships available in the Nanyang, Fujian and Guangdong, and refine a large navy"; Third, on the issue of raising salaries, Li Shaoquan's method of "borrowing foreign money at light interest" was denied on the following grounds: "Since the beginning of the legal incident, Guangdong has borrowed 9 million, Fujian has borrowed 4 million, and Beijing has borrowed 5 million. "Generally agreeable to other methods of fundraising; Fourth, he did not express a definite opinion on the issue of shipbuilding and equipment making and training and selection of generals.

After the "Coastal Defense Folds of the Prime Minister's Yamen Meeting on National Affairs" was presented to the imperial court, the Empress Dowager Renxi issued an edict on October 12, making the highest decision on the "coastal defense preparations" for the past four months: 1. Upgrading the "Prime Minister's Naval Affairs Yamen" to the "Ministry of Maritime Affairs", "Sending Premier Prince Yixuan to all naval affairs and all coastal naval divisions to be dispatched in moderation; and sent Wang Yikuang of Qingjun, Li Shaoquan, the governor of Zhili, a university scholar, and Lin Yiqing, the left attendant of the military department, to handle it together; The Xia army of the Suzaku Department is all in Shanqing, and the right attendant of the military department, Qin Zhongjian, helps to handle it"; Second, it is necessary to determine the principle of "refining and training a large navy" in naval construction. Yi Zhi said: "It is hereby said that the overall situation is planned to be coordinated with the elite of the shipyard, Beiyang, Fujian and Guangdong naval divisions, and a large navy will be refined, and the plan will be in-depth and appropriate"; Third, the preparation of other sections, by the Ministry of Maritime Planning and handling. "At the beginning of the training of the army, Li Shaoquan and Lin Yiqing were instructed to take charge of their affairs, and they should be established and discussed on various matters", and Prince Jing Yixin and others "carefully planned, drafted the charter, and set up the first plan." ”

At this point, the nearly four-month coastal defense preparations came to an end. In the process of preparation, the governors have made clear decisions on the five major issues discussed by the governors, the first and second major issues; The other three major issues were carefully planned by the Ministry of the Sea after its establishment, and the articles of association were drafted and the first time was established. ”

In terms of its scale, the "Yiyou Proposal" is not as big as the "Coastal Defense Proposal" at the turn of Tongguang; However, many scholars believe that the status and role of the "Yiyou Preparatory Proposal" in the history of the development of coastal defense construction in the modern Qianguo cannot be underestimated.

First of all, the "Yiyou Preparation" is a continuation and deepening of the "Coastal Defense Preparation" at the turn of Tongguang. The preparatory meeting at the turn of Tongguang focused on taking coastal defense construction as a strategic focus of national defense construction; The "Yi Youyou Preparatory Proposal" focused on solving the problem of how to strengthen coastal defense construction. In particular, it has made a relatively objective reflection on the serious problems existing in coastal defense construction, such as "not building large ships, not having enough equipment, not selecting good generals, and not raising a wide range of funds," "too many regions," and "different powers," and has provided an important basis for the imperial court to make new policy decisions on coastal defense construction.

Second, the establishment of the Maritime Affairs Department, a central leading organ for the construction of coastal defense throughout the country, has strengthened the overall planning of the country's coastal defense construction and strengthened centralized and unified leadership.

Thirdly, the re-establishment of the principle of "refining and training a large navy" for naval construction was in line with the economic strength of the Qianguo country at that time, and it also quite clearly reflected the strategic defense objective of the Qianguo government's coastal defense construction, which was determined by the Qianguo government in the 70 s. Therefore, the naval construction policy of "refining and training a large navy" can be said to be a very positive and desirable policy.

Fourth, vigorously building up the navy will play a positive role in strengthening the political, economic, and military construction of the country, strengthening the national defense building of the country, and striking at Japan's ambition to covet Moss Bay and Korea.

It is true that after the current coastal defense preparations, the coastal defense construction of the Qianguo is still not satisfactory; for example, because of the struggle for power and profit and mutual restraint by officials of various factions, as well as the covert obstruction of conservative and stubborn forces, the maritime ministry has not played a full role in the coastal defense construction. Problems such as fundraising, equipment making, shipbuilding, and selection of generals are still not well solved; However, the problems that arose in the future were not the problems of the "Yiyou" itself, but the result of the political corruption and economic backwardness of the Qianguo government. We should not ignore the positive role of the "Yiyouyou Proposal" because of the problems that arose in the construction of coastal defense after 9085, still less should we deny the historical status of the "Yiyouyou Preparation" because of this.

It's already autumn, and on the vast black earth, after the autumn wind blows, it is sparsely emitted a little green.

The ruins of the broken wall are among the new green grass, the white jade vermilion lacquer glazed tiles, the horizontal slope of the field, washed thoroughly by the rain, clean and moist, but like the jasper pearl and emerald abandoned by the noble lady in the field, especially with three points of bright and refreshing water.

This early autumn picture, for some reason, always seems to remind people of a ballad: Mo flowers bloom and butterflies fly.

The flowers bloom in a chaotic and scattered manner, all of which are dark brown, gray blue, pale yellow and other cold colors, finely embellished on the tips of the grass, and they are always not far away and not thick, revealing grievances; The butterflies are all of the genus of flash butterflies, struggling to flutter their tiny wings among the flowers, pitifully competing for the nectar of the stars. Just at a glance, you can see some of the desolation and sorrow of the troubled times in this vigorous vitality.

"Ugh." A little girl picked another flower, held it in the palm of her hand, but let out a long sigh, she was busy for a long time, and there were a few weak flowers in her hand, and she couldn't weave a wreath.

It was originally part of the royal garden in the suburbs of Beijing, but it was not a very important attraction, and it has not been restored after the famous fire was destroyed in the year of Xianfeng Gengshen, but over time, because of the lush growth of flowers and trees, it has a beautiful scenery. The Bo residents who live in this area will come here from time to time to play and get a touch of royal elegance.

This little girl from the Bo people came to pick flowers specifically to weave them into garlands and sell them to subsidize the family.

"Hahaha......" The sudden crisp laughter startled a group of finches looking for food in the grassroom, and they chirped and flew away.

The little girl looked back and saw a handsome young man in white squatting on a broken pillar, leaning forward and backward, with a heroic and bright smile on his face.

"What are you laughing at?" The little girl snorted angrily.

"Are you trying to make this up?" The boy grimaced, "Poor little sister." He stuck out his tongue, and with a light and dexterous hand, he picked up a wreath of colorful flowers from the grass, "There are only a few bright flowers here, but it's a pity that they all light up for me." ”

The little girl's eyes widened, and the boy put the wreath on his head in a so-so manner, giggling reasonably.

"Not for you." The young man smiled and stared at the innocent envy in the little girl's eyes, and added, "Who told you to come so late." ”

"Not uncommon!" The little girl angrily threw the flowers in her hand into the grass, crossed her waist and stomped her feet, but her translucent eyes showed discouragement and jealousy, staring at the young man's head.

The young man was very proud, and laughed: "Little sister, this is made up for my little follower, if he doesn't want it, I'll give it to you." ”

"Little henchman?" The little girl swept up and down the young man's white clothes, at first glance they were as bright as fresh snow, but it was also because of the sunshine, and when she got closer, she could see that the clothes were actually not so white, and there was a faint layer of rusty yellow, like the dust and sweat stains on the road for hundreds of miles. The gold rim of the neckline and cuffs is delicately hooked, and the little girl has beaten the tailor master, and she recognizes this as a good dress.

He hung a small bag on his chest, and turned out the neckline, the material was luxurious, but it looked a little nondescript.

The down-and-out son of the family, she pursed her lips, this kind of person has been going on for more years, hum, what is there to be proud of.

"My little henchman is so fierce, I have to please him all the way......" The young man said to himself, completely ignoring the contempt in the little girl's eyes, "why hasn't he come after drinking horses for so long?" ”

"I'm sure I'll leave you behind—run!" The little girl looked at the confusion on his face and smiled a little with schadenfreude.

"Hehe, he can't run." The young man confidently grabbed the bag on his chest and shook it, with a bright and bright evil smile on his face. He tilted his ear, "Isn't this coming?" ”

The sound of slow horse's hooves approached, and a burly boy in rough clothes led a small red horse, and walked over with his head drooped sullenly, and his short thick hair was obviously freshly combed with water, but it stubbornly stretched out a few sticks in a mess, swaggering. He walked slowly, like a bear that hadn't woken up.

"Get on the horse." He walked up to the young man in white, drooping his head, his voice muffled, and a little tired in his respect.

The young man in white turned over his horse lightly and skillfully, smiled, and threw the garland on his companion's head: "Take it, give it to you." ”

The rough-clothed boy was not slow to react, he didn't look back, he raised his arm without saying a word, and the wreath bounced back into the hand of the white-clothed boy.

"Stop making a fuss." He said, dullly unangry.

The young man in white turned his head with a mischievous smile on his face. The little girl only felt a chill on the top of her head, and the wreath fell steadily on the top of her head, and the branches and leaves rubbed her hair, refreshing and cool itching.

"He doesn't want it, so I'll give it to you." The young man in white split his legs, shook and rode on the little horse, clapped his hands and laughed, "My little sister is so beautiful wearing it." ”

He said this unintentionally, but the rough-clothed young man couldn't help but look back. The little girl carefully touched the wreath above her head, and her little feet seemed to be on tiptoe—it was a familiar state, and he was stunned for a moment, and abruptly turned away.

At that moment, the little girl had already seen his face clearly, he was the same age as the young man in white, about seven or eight years old, his bronzed and simple face was full of childishness, but his dark eyes contained indignation and uninhibited depression.

Perhaps, there is a very gentle and kind smile, just like the kind brother.

Just when the little girl was still savoring the look in his eyes, the rough-clothed young man had already led the horse and walked away slowly, and the white-clothed young man was still waving his hand and shouting, and his clear voice was blowing far away in the cold morning breeze.

"Little sister, I'm leaving, my name is Mu Qinglin, this silent kid is called Golgoro Kobe, what is your name......"

Lin Boliang looked at the little girl from afar and tried to open his mouth, he sat upside and couldn't hear what she was saying. He sighed and lay down on his horse.

"Why are you upset again?" The white-clothed young man named Mu Qinglin asked with a smile.

"The emperor gave himself a nice Chinese name, and gave me a stupid name for Boren, how can I have such a stupid name." The rough-clothed young man said dissatisfiedly, "It's stupid and long." ”

"Hahahaha, you don't understand this, right? The name Elogoro Kobe means 'outstanding', 'outstanding', and you don't have anything to be happy with. Mu Qinglin, whose real identity is the little emperor of the Daqian Empire, Guangxu looked at the white clouds floating leisurely in the sky: "But your name is too long, and she can't remember it." ”

"Your Majesty, you are so bold that you dare to mention your name here, what can you do if you meet a gangster who specializes in kidnapping tickets?" Lin Boliang complained.

Guangxu got up, hugged the horse's neck, lowered his head and leaned over Lin Boliang's shoulder, and shook the bag in front of his eyes with a wicked smile: "If someone chases after me, I have your good beizi to protect me, and you promised your mother in person." ”

"That's natural, I'm a subordinate, even if I fight for my life, I have to protect the emperor." Lin Boliang said a little depressed, "My father and my mother have always taught me this ......"

Guangxu suddenly understood why his little playmate and follower were depressed.

"You're not happy because Master Lin is going to go abroad again and didn't come to accompany you, right?" Guangxu whispered in his ear.

"Your Majesty, I really envy you sometimes, you spend much more time with my father than I spend with my mother and my father." Lin Boliang told the little emperor what he was thinking, and his nose couldn't help but be sour.

"Alas, Master Lin doesn't have much time to teach me! I really look forward to being with Master Lin and you Liangbeizi all day long, how happy and happy. Guangxu also sighed, "I knew the news earlier than you, and my first reaction at that time was to send someone else to go to the sea for Master Lin and let Master Lin stay." It's a pity that Master Weng said that I am still underage and can't be pro-government, so I can't make an order. ”

"The emperor has this thought, but don't tell others, if it reaches the West Mother-in-law, the emperor will be punished again. My mother and I will be chastened. Lin Boliang was startled when he heard the words of the little emperor, and hurriedly said.

"Don't worry! Good shellfish! I know! I'm just going to tell you these words! Guangxu smiled and patted his friend's shoulder, he blinked, pretended to mysteriously lower his voice, and hummed the Boren ballad that Lin Yiqing taught him: "Isn't it? The little eagle chick of the prairie, one day he will fly higher than the snow mountains of the Xing'an Mountains, and the little leopard by the Yalu River, one day he will run farther than the source of the Ussuri River......" he tilted his head and hummed in a thin voice.

Lin Boliang hummed with him. At the end of the song, they looked around and walked a few steps, and Guangxu asked thoughtlessly: "Where to go next?" ”

Lin Boliang took out a hand-drawn map from his arms, looked at the sun, and said, "Let's go back, it's not too early." ”

"If you go back, it's in ......" Guangxu looked at the map in Lin Boliang's hand and scratched his head. Lin Boliang laughed out loud: "Due east, go that way, the emperor has turned again, isn't there a compass?" (To be continued.) )
