Section 155 A New Situation
Yang Chao is clear about the inside story of these officialdoms, Ma Tengfei is still active in the circle of the Eight Banners in Beijing, where the imperial court intelligence is almost openly sold, and it is not difficult to find out the inside story. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Chao is not very interested in these, in a country that has no legal consciousness and a weak concept of the legal system, it makes no sense for you to implement any constitution, because no one will take that constitution seriously, my Celestial Empire has not set up a constitutional court in the 21st century, how many laws are unconstitutional, but there is no place to correct them, and there are various regulations that directly bypass the law, and the local government can collect money by issuing a random ordinance.
Yang Chao has always been a staunch industrial party, to be precise, the industrialization party, by promoting substantial progress, forcing the system, Yang Chao believes that this is useful, India three and some African black uncle countries, not all follow the European and American system, but a heaven and a hell, the system is not the most critical, the relationship between the national economy and the people's livelihood is still the economy.
Few people know that the laws of the Qing Dynasty were used in Hong Kong until they were repealed in the 70s of the 21st century, and the British devils ruled Hong Kong using the laws of the Qing Dynasty, and there was no constitution, which did not create the prosperity of Hong Kong.
It's just that Kang Liang and these people, who play liberal arts, exaggerate the problems related to the liberal arts, regard Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War as a constitutional victory, and completely ignore the efforts of Japanese industry for more than 30 years.
Although he was reluctant to participate in the battle between Kang and Liang, the problem was already in front of Yang Chao, because the emperor made a decree to let him enter Beijing as an associate minister, so that Yang Chao could join the imperial cabinet and become one of the only four Han Chinese.
But Zhang Zhidong has not resigned yet, this is obviously Kang Youwei using Zaifeng's imperial power to forcibly promote, dare to ask Kang Baohuang: Is this in line with constitutionalism?
Once Yang Chao chooses to join this cabinet, he will inevitably stand on the opposite side of the Westernists, and then become involved in the political struggle between the Westernists and the Kangliang group.
Yang Chao's move to Kang Liang. I really don't dare to agree, I thought they had made progress over the years, but I didn't expect it to be so radical, seeing that they had just gained a foothold in the imperial court. I can't wait for a showdown with the Westerners, and I want to hold all the power in my hands, why? Just with the support of the emperor?
Can't they see that the Westernists have been working hard for 30 years, and they are deeply rooted from the imperial court to the localities, from the Manchus to the Han people. A vast network of influence has been formed.
They want top-down reforms just by virtue of imperial power? How naïve!
It seems that Kang Liang and the others have not matured to the sophistication of the Westernists like Zhang Zhidong, and they are still thinking about top-down promotion, just thinking that they will open their mouths, and countless people under them will do things, and then they will be able to complete modernization?
In just 100 days after the Hundred Days Restoration, the emperor issued hundreds of measures, but they didn't care about whether they had the ability to implement them, they knew how much professional knowledge they needed to build railways, they knew how much equipment they needed to make steel, and they didn't know anything. I only know the order.
I just want to grasp the supreme power, and then I think I can control everything, but I don't want to start building from the bottom at all, flaunting the kind of restoration in Japan, but I don't look at Ito Hirobumi and those people, for the sake of the restoration, they all send their children to the factory to work down-to-earth, and there are even more people like Shibusawa Eiichi, who let the high-ranking officials not do it, and began to continuously promote the establishment of modern factories.
And what they're doing is just amazing. Even Yang Chao has calculated inside, don't you know that Yang Chao is the only force that can balance the Westernization faction now.
"Emperor Kang, what kind of stinky chess is this? wants me to go to Beijing to help you dumbfounded, but you want to take away all my real power. This level is much worse than that of the big brother, no wonder you lost back then. ”
Yang Chao suddenly remembered Yuan Shikai, he suddenly missed Yuan Shikai a little, if Yuan Shikai was lying in Zhili back then, he wouldn't dare to let himself enter Beijing if he killed Zaifeng and Kang Liang, and he wished that he would control tens of thousands of troops to contain Yuan Shikai.
Yang Chao suddenly discovered. He made a political mistake, he shouldn't have let Kang Liang squeeze Yuan Shikai away, he should have tried his best to protect Yuan Shikai, because he was used by the imperial court to balance Yuan Shikai's power at that time.
Thinking of Yuan Shikai, Yang Chao remembered Yuan Shikai's method of dealing with the call of the imperial court, the first was to pretend to be sick, and the second was to make trouble.
"Why don't I do it too?"
Yang Chao said secretly in his heart.
Soon newspapers across the country published a big news that Yang Chao was bedridden and unable to handle affairs because he had contracted a cold during the disaster relief.
All sectors of society sent condolences one after another, and the Jiangnan industrial and commercial groups, the Yamen of the Liangjiang Governor, as well as the ministers of various countries and the consuls of Yantai all sent telegrams of condolences.
Yang Chao then gave the court a compromise for the same reason, telling the court that he had serious typhoid fever and was afraid that he would not be able to serve as an associate minister, and asked the court to choose another meritorious.
Yang Chao really doesn't want to go, Shandong's industrial development has just begun, the first batch of German-funded industries introduced has only been built for a year, and most of the factories have not yet started production, at this time, let Yang Chao go, where would he be willing, he had already told Kang Liang that he would give the imperial court an answer sheet within three years, and this group of people couldn't even wait for three years.
The affairs of the imperial cabinet were also soon known to the whole world, and as a result, the governors of various places were opposed, Yang Shixiang of Zhili, Zhang Renjun of Liangguang, and even Zhao Erxun, the governor of Huguang, and Duanfang, the governor of Liangjiang.
After two months of boiling, Zaifeng issued a decree to abolish all the old rules of the new cabinet.
But this time the struggle had a very bad effect, first of all, it was seen by the people of the world that the imperial power was very weak, and it was even the case that the holy decree was rejected by the governor of the world, and it also let the people of the world see that the Westernists were still strong.
In fact, Duanfang and Zhao Erxun, although they are all banner people, but most of them are Westernists, regardless of the banner or Han, the further decline of the diehards, just like their old-fashioned imperial power, is slowly being hollowed out.
But nine times out of ten, there is another reason why the governors of the world oppose it, after the introduction of the new cabinet, the governors of various places do not have the power to play directly to the emperor, but are unified under the management of the cabinet, which makes the governors who are inclined to imperial power feel that they seem to be excluded from the core of power by the Kang Liang group, and even they think that the emperor is blinded, so Kang Youwei does not control the government, so most of the flag people will oppose it.
Fundamentally speaking, it was because Kang Youwei wanted to concentrate power, and the local governors did not want to see the concentration of power. Or don't want to see power concentrated by Kang Youwei.
"Emperor Kang Bao should cry!"
After Yang Chao received the telegram from the imperial court to revoke the will, he couldn't help but sigh that when he was in Guangxu, Kang You used the imperial power to forcibly implement the law for them. At that time, they naively thought that the name of Guangxu emperor could offset the power network run by Cixi, but now they foolishly thought that the imperial power could shake Zhang Zhidong and other powerful factions.
Zaifeng should have cried, although he knew in his heart that the power had long since fallen. Now that it is directly unraveled and shown in front of everyone, does this still have a face? ”
Yang Chao thought of Zaifeng's expression of remorse for letting everyone in the world see his weak appearance, and he didn't feel much joy in his heart, but immediately thought of a serious matter:
"Kang Liang is going to fall again!"
With this kind of thing similar to forcing the palace, Kang Youwei's political future may really be over this time.
First of all, he instigated the emperor to handle affairs through the holy decree, and even directly took the position of Zhang Zhidong's cabinet premier, and the Westernists would definitely not let him go, because he broke the rules.
Secondly, the reason why Zaifeng issued this holy decree is probably that he was also fooled by Kang Youwei, and Kang Youwei seriously exaggerated his strength. told Zaifeng that he had already made sense to the vast majority of officials, otherwise Zaifeng's hesitant character would not have been able to play such a tough game.
Sure enough, ten days after Zaifeng's holy decree was issued, there was a new change, Kang Youwei was deposed, Liang Qichao was deposed, and Kang Liang Group was short-lived and collapsed in an instant.
And after this trouble, the Westernists monopolized power, and Zhang Zhidong's position became more stable. And Zaifeng is getting weaker and weaker, and the situation of the strong minister and the weak lord is exposed to the world.
Fortunately, Zaifeng met the old man Zhang Zhidong, if he met Yuan Shikai, I am afraid that there will be no bones left to eat.
But since one faction is in power, it's fine. After all, the Westernists have done a lot of things in recent years, especially as soon as Zhang Zhidong became the prime minister, he immediately went to the "Statute of the School", and after the procedure was passed, all parts of the country began to set up new-style schools, although many provinces did not do so well. However, Liangjiang, Huguang and Liangguang, which are economically important provinces, have large populations, and are the traditional territories of the Westernists are still doing well, and of course the fact that tens of thousands of students in Japan have been sent to Japan, which is not so beautiful.
Seven or eight years have passed now, and in Shandong alone, there are more than 800 primary schools, of which 500 were established by Yang Chao in the past two years, 200 are secondary schools, of which 150 are run by Yang Chao, and 30 are higher schools, of which 20 are run by Yang Chao.
Shandong has always been a poor province, although after Yang Chao's efforts, the momentum began to change, but where is the foundation, in fact, it is still not as good as Huguang, Liangjiang such a good foundation, the number of Huguang primary schools more than 1,000, Liangjiang is more than 1,800 crowns in the country.
There are more than 10,000 primary schools in the country, and the number of students enrolled has reached more than 2 million, which is still very objective, although it is not as fast as the speed of education run by the Japanese, but it is better than the civil strife that began for 30 years after Brother Pao overthrew the Qing court.
Try to maintain this situation, grind out an industrial base step by step, and after the war was made in World War I, the initial industrialization will be basically completed.
A group of poor bastards can't kill the money.
Therefore, Yang Chao was the most welcoming of this situation, and immediately called the imperial court, saying that he was cured of his illness and could start working, and his first work plan was to go to Europe to continue to attract investment.
In the telegram, Yang Chao made a detailed report to Zhang Zhidong on Shandong's industrial development over the past year or so, telling Zhang Zhidong that Shandong has established more than 50 large-scale factories in electric power, chemical industry, and iron and steel, with an investment of 60 million taels of silver, as well as nearly 10 spinning and textile mills, with sales revenue of 10 million taels, and it is expected that after all factories are put into operation in three years, they can create more than 200 million yuan of output and pay 20 million taels of taxes.
Yang Chao's trip to Europe this time will urge foreigners to implement follow-up cooperation, travel contracts, and at the same time carry out a larger-scale investment promotion activity.
