260: Final preparations
If a group wants to control a regime, then it is very easy, you only need to occupy a few important positions, but if you want to overthrow a regime, then the difficulty will increase several times, even hundreds of times. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Replacing the Qing Dynasty, Wang Sirui needs to prepare a lot.
Although he had been preparing all the time in the previous three years, when this moment really came, Wang Sirui found that there were still so many things that he had not prepared.
Originally, Wang Sirui did not intend to replace the Qing Dynasty so quickly, but the recent events, coupled with the increasing interference of the great powers in China, forced Wang Sirui to take this step as soon as possible.
In recent years, the Wang family, that is, Wang Sirui's cheap family, has been hoarding oil and rubber in accordance with Wang Sirui's requirements.
Of course, with the rise of Wang Sirui, it means that the Wang family must keep up with Wang Sirui's chariot, so Wang Sirui naturally took over his grandfather's position and became the head of the Wang family.
For the position of the head of the family, Wang Sirui didn't have much feeling.
In the conference room,
There are several important ministers under Wang Sirui at present, including Wang Shizhen, who was trained by Wang Sirui as the future prime minister, as well as Duan Qirui, the current artillery commander-in-chief, Qi Zhanyuan, Minister of Finance, Zhan Tianyou, Minister of Communications, Qiao Zhiyong, President of Daqing Bank, and so on.
After several years of development, the scale of artillery development can be described as the smallest, but today's artillery can be regarded as a replacement of shotguns, of which there are nearly 100 guns with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters, and as many as 300 artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 50 millimeters.
These artillery pieces were concentrated under Duan Qirui's hands and used for large-scale artillery support.
In addition, the various units are also equipped with a lot of mortars, and the infantry has its own support artillery, and theoretically speaking, the role of artillery should be small.
However, Wang Sirui did not relax at all about these concentrated artillery, and he knew very well what role the cluster artillery would play in the battlefield in the next few decades.
If it weren't for his own lack of strength, Wang Sirui would even want to form more artillery divisions.
"The foreigners are looking for me today, I think you should have heard about this matter, the representatives of the seven countries, hehe, what a big formation.
They demanded that we withdraw our troops to the south of the Yangtze River, pay the current war reparations by the end of the next month, and accept their supervision to disarm the Han army.
What a reason! It is also very majestic to say, as if we are in Huaxia and their back garden.
I only answered them one sentence, in the history of China, we have never really bowed our heads to the enemy, even once! Wang Sirui looked at everyone and said.
The following important ministers also nodded in agreement, in fact, they already knew the content of the morning note.
not only knew that Wang Sirui was directly angry at the note and left with his hands, but also knew that the foreigners were already angry, and even said that Wang Sirui would regret it.
But no one was afraid, because they had no reason to be afraid.
The strength of the Han army has already brought them enough confidence, at least on land, they are not afraid of any foreigners.
"We have endured it for decades, but those foreigners have always oppressed our bottom line again and again, drained our blood again and again, making it impossible for us to survive, and we can only rely on them, become their slaves, and become their vassals.
In the history of our China, this is a shame that has never happened, a shame for our generation, and a shame for future generations.
I don't want to live a few decades from now, we still have to look at the faces of foreigners, and I don't want our descendants to have to go to the foreigners to make peace like today.
I thought about it a lot, and I thought about it for a long time, and finally I went to the palace, and I told the emperor that the Qing Dynasty could only exist for the last month, and after a month, we would usher in a new era.
I don't care what attitude and thoughts those foreigners have, as long as the Chinese nation rises, I only want the Chinese nation to have the courage to say no to anyone, and the qualifications to say no.
This month's time is for the emperor, and it is also for us. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, for the sake of the rise of the Chinese nation, I implore you to do your best and make final preparations during this month. ”
Astound!
Except for shock or shock!
Although everyone knows that the existence of these people is to replace the Manchu court.
According to their estimates, this moment will not come until at least three or five years later, when the Han army will have enough strength to protect the territory and consolidate their power.
But now, at this most undesirable time, Wang Sirui has decided to make this decision that should not be made at present.
In addition to shock, there are surprises, surprises, and even more incredible.
But there is one point, no one feels that they should not replace the Qing court. Replacing the Qing court, this is inevitable, and it is also the idea that Wang Sirui has instilled in them for several years, the idea of strengthening the country, and the idea of the rise of China.
"A month is still very tight, and the great powers will not remain indifferent, with our current strength, it will be very difficult to fight against those powers.
Again, after replacing the Qing court, do we recognize or deny the contracts signed by the Qing court before? Once approved, we will lose the initiative we have, and we will continue to pay for the mistakes of the Qing court. And to deny it, we have to deny it completely, and what kind of impact will this have on the great powers? And will the great powers send troops to intervene?
Also, although we are not scared on land, what about the coastal areas? Tianjin, Shanghai, we have been developing for several years, how will we respond if the fleets of the great powers bomb the coastal areas?
Our forces will not be able to recover the whole country, or even occupy Liangguang in the short term, and if Liangguang continues to be controlled by foreigners, it will have a great impact on us.
It is even conceivable that once the Qing court is destroyed, Tibet, Mongolia and those places will definitely be dishonest, Xinjiang is far away, and there will be no problems in a short time, but after a long time, it is also a big problem. Wang Shizhen raised a series of problems, once the Qing court was overthrown, the next problems they had to face, they could not escape, which was also the biggest drawback of the lack of troops.
"It is unlikely that foreigners will send troops to intervene in a short period of time, and even if they do, there will probably only be Japan and Russia, and now that the northeast region has entered winter, it is extremely unsuitable for war, and Japan and Russia will not choose to fight at this time.
Then the time for the war will be at the beginning of next year, which means that we still have about three months to prepare. I roughly checked and found that about 400,000 troops had completed their training in three months, and 100,000 more had finished their training four months later.
Although they do not have the ability to go to the battlefield, it is no problem to take over the garrisons in various places to maintain law and order. In other words, within three months, we will be able to transfer about 200,000 reserves, and if all the troops with more than one year of military experience are transferred, we can transfer about 400,000 reserves.
In terms of troops, we have the advantage, so once a war starts, as long as there are no logistical problems, there will be no problem in winning a big battle. Duan Qirui said.
How could there be a problem with logistics? Zhan Tianyou said secretly in his heart.
Since becoming the Minister of Communications, Zhan Tianyou has led people to build a road from Beijing to Shengjing.
Although it is a dirt road, it is called a road by Wang Sirui. This road is only slightly better than the normal road, but under normal times, you can probably save a day by going to Shengjing through this road.
In the past few years, Wang Sirui has continued to hoard a lot of weapons and equipment in Shengjing, not to mention that there is no problem in supporting an army of 400,000 for a year.
Wang Sirui waved his hand and said: "Let's not mention military matters for the time being, and then we will hold a separate military meeting, and today I will only talk about internal affairs."
My idea is to let the people in the coastal areas move as much as possible, and leave only a few as early warning to prevent foreigners from landing and fighting. ”
"No, there are so many people in the coastal areas that we can't move inward. Moreover, the people there have been fishing for a living for generations, so what are they doing when they move to the interior? This will also squeeze the living space of the indigenous people. I don't think foreigners will shell coastal civilians, right? Wang Shizhen denied.
And at this time, the importance of the previous layout was revealed, in the area controlled by Wang Sirui, but in the coastal areas, there was hardly any heavy industry.
Even if the foreigners bombarded the coast, they would not be able to affect Wang Sirui's foundation, and the Shanghai side had not yet had time to evacuate because it had just been occupied.
However, Shanghai's geographical location is special, and there are many foreigners, so theoretically speaking, foreigners will not bombard Shanghai.
However, this is the premise that there is no garrison in Shanghai, and if there is still a garrison on it, it is not necessarily.
Thinking of this, Wang Sirui immediately decided: "Everything is in order, all the garrisons in Tianjin and Shanghai are withdrawn, and only the security police are left in the city. In addition, as long as they dare to dock, we will invite them to watch a free fireworks. ”
Regarding Wang Sirui's words, everyone listened to them in the clouds, and they didn't know what to do at all.
But Wang Sirui is so sure, they can't say no.
So they discussed a number of other things, and finally, when the question of the form of government was discussed, there was finally a dispute among the people.
Wang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, Qi Zhanyuan, Qiao Zhiyong and others agreed with the imperial system and hoped that Wang Sirui would ascend the throne as the emperor, but Zhan Tianyou insisted on opposing the imperial system because he had witnessed the strength of foreign countries and knew that the imperial system could not last long.
In the end, Wang Sirui could only suspend the discussion of this issue, in fact, Wang Sirui was also very hesitant about what kind of system he should choose. (To be continued.) )
