With the announcement of the anti-Qing telegram, the whole of China was in chaos inside and outside, and the interior was busy with all the cumbersome things for the establishment of the new state. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although this time Wang Sirui used the barrage of military reform to successfully attract the attention of the powers, but I have to admit that this time Wang Sirui also exposed almost all his hole cards.

At present, there are only three or four hundred thousand reserve forces left in the country, and basically they are all new recruits who have just entered the barracks, and even if these recruits are trained, there will not be enough backbone officers to be transferred to them in such a short period of time.

The development speed of the Han army in recent years is too rapid, and there are very few wars, and now it can support nearly a million reserve troops, because of a fight with Japan last year, so that they have accumulated a lot of excellent soldiers.

Want to rely on those battles at home to accumulate good soldiers? Don't think about this, with this level of combat in the country, the promoted officers are also embarrassed.

The foreigners were a little frightened by Wang Sirui's plan.

They have long known that Wang Sirui has reserves in his hands, and he has even been preparing for several years.

But in the past few years, Wang Sirui has always been strengthening the construction of industrial facilities, how much money does Wang Sirui have in his hands? Although the foreigners don't know the specific number, they know a rough idea.

In most people's opinion, Wang Sirui can have a reserve of three or four hundred thousand even if it is the sky, but this is not the case.

Foreigners are busy seeking verification, waiting for a reply from China on the one hand. Wang Sirui was busy approving all kinds of documents.

It had been preparing for several years, and the central institutions were basically set up, and although officials at all levels had not yet been assembled, they were barely able to run the country.

But it wasn't until I found out in advance that although I had prepared a lot, I still had to give instructions to Wang Sirui one by one.

On the government side, because the new country was about to be established, Wang Sirui did not want such a period of blank time before the establishment of the new country after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and he asked for the two eras to be seamlessly connected.

In fact, it is not too difficult to do this, after all, they are already in charge now, and when the time comes, they can just change their names, and they will be like what they were in the past.

But the problem does not exist, before Wang Sirui was only managed on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, but now it is self-management, and many things need to be operated in person, such as appeasing the people, rewarding the three armies, etc., as well as dealing with foreigners, etc.

Therefore, the documents sent by the government are enough for Wang Sirui to deal with them for three days and three nights.

And Wang Sirui is also the commander of the three armed forces and the supreme person in charge of the army, so in the end, Wang Sirui needs to be personally responsible for the affairs of the army.

As a result, the workload has increased dramatically.

"Huh? Interesting, I didn't expect so many people to come. Looking at the list in his hand, Wang Sirui felt a little proud in his heart.

This is the latest list of cadets of the Army Staff College, and there are more than 30 people who have applied for the examination from outside the outside world and more than 400 people who have been recommended by the army, and the two together are less than 500 people.

The opinion of the person in charge of the military academy is to divide it into 10 classes, with 50 students in each class, and to turn the students who apply for the examination from outside the academy into one class with some of the cadets recommended by the army.

Wang Sirui agreed with this idea before, after all, most of the people who applied for the examination from the outside world did not have a military foundation, and the content they studied was different from that recommended by the army, and their study system was longer than that of military cadets.

On the side of the Staff College, it is divided into four subjects, staff officers, command, artillery, and baggage.

Because the Han army needed a large number of staff officers, the number of staff officers was the largest, occupying a full six squads, and the remaining commanders had two squads, an artillery squad, and a baggage squad, a total of ten squads.

It's just that what Wang Sirui didn't expect was that among the students who came to apply for the exam this time, there were a few people he knew. Of course, it is known from history books.

The most famous are naturally Cai Yi, Jiang Fangzhen, Zhang Xiaozhun, Yan Xishan, Duan Zhigui, these five great powers, as well as Sun Chuanfang, Wang Zhanyuan, Qi Xieyuan, and Wang Chengbin, among the twenty-four generals of the Beiyang Army in later generations.

It can be said that in this issue of the Staff College, it can be said that there will be a star-studded gathering.

Soon, Wang Sirui made his own instructions on this report, and the students who applied for the examination were asked to choose their majors by themselves.

The Han army's local defense in the short term basically has no problem, and the more than 1.5 million troops are basically able to ensure the security of the homeland, so Wang Sirui does not want to use the previous way to send everyone to one place in one place, so that they can learn those things that they may not like and become the talents they need.

Now, he has more choices, and Wang Sirui's only regret is that the country does not have a navy, and with the current ability level and economic level of the Han army, it cannot support a huge navy, even if it is just a navy that defends the homeland.

And with Wang Sirui's current situation in the world, it is basically certain that no country will sell him naval warships, and no one dares to sell them to him and build warships himself? Well, not to mention the century-old navy, without one or two decades of study, I'm afraid they won't even be able to build a 10,000-ton battleship.

If the navy can't do it, then there are other ways to solve this drawback.

After a long time, Wang Sirui picked out two documents from a pile of documents, stared at them for a long time, and finally put one of them back, and then signed his name in the document he left.

Native defense strategy, this is the direction that Wang Sirui needs to focus on in the next few years.

It is impossible to expand the army endlessly, but the equipment that should be updated still needs to be updated, and what should be supplemented still needs to be supplemented.

But all this must be supported by strong economic capacity. Therefore, the core significance of this document lies in focusing on developing the economy and strengthening the army's equipment.

……

"I said, Lord Wang, you are really relieved, when has this been? Why are you still here to sign these documents that don't matter? Wang Shizhen walked into Wang Sirui's office angrily, and after seeing that Wang Sirui was still commenting on those documents, he instantly felt helpless and a little angry.

"How can this be a document that doesn't matter? Each one is urgent and must be dealt with as soon as possible. Wang Sirui raised his head and looked at Wang Shizhen, with a slight smile on his face.

"Tomorrow the emperor will abdicate, and our new country will be established, but this most important thing has not yet reached a conclusion, you are good, it is very clean to hide in the house by yourself, and you can't hear the noise outside us." Wang Shizhen sat on the chair angrily, seeing Wang Sirui's still unhurried expression, he instantly burst into tears, and continued:

"Let's start with the case we handed in, what do you think? Both the army and I proposed that you ascend the throne directly, and the others have neutral and republican ones, so why don't you give a decision? It's just silent, how should the rest of the work be carried out? How should I name a country? Wang Shizhen said anxiously, such a big thing, Wang Sirui didn't even pay attention to it, who wouldn't be in a hurry to sleep? Anyway, you can give an explanation, don't you?

"I haven't thought about this yet, the name of the country will be China, this has been agreed a long time ago, tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, we will officially announce the name of the country China, the country will be officially established, and the abdication edict will be issued at ten o'clock, and other things will be the same, how was it before, and what is still the case now, does it not work if you change your name?" Wang Sirui was extremely calm.

In fact, Wang Sirui really didn't think about the system, it's not that he doesn't want to be the emperor, but after becoming the emperor, there are still many things to do, at least your king, right? How should these kings be managed in the future?

There are a whole host of other problems, although there is no resistance among the people to the emperor now.

Well, in fact, this is a very good era, Sun is not a climate yet, under the rule of the Han army, they can't afford to do anything like an uprising, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty only has Liangguang left, but the Liangguang region is a place supported by the great powers, how can they mess around?

As for Hong Kong, not to mention, the British will not let them go to Hong Kong, unless they can carry out some riots under the rule of the Han army.

But then again, now the people live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are getting better day by day, who will not let go of the good days and follow you to make a revolution? That's going to cost you a head.

Therefore, there is no theory of promoting a republic in China, and the basic seamless connection between the previous and subsequent dynasties is basically seamless, as long as Wang Sirui has the intention of becoming the emperor, the people will be happy to support it.

On the contrary, if the republic is chosen, it will be difficult to ascend the throne and become emperor in the future, and even the imperial system that has ruled China for more than 2,000 years will completely withdraw from the stage.

Listening to Wang Sirui's words, Wang Shizhen's face fell instantly, he is a person who supports the imperial system, whether he is pedantic or for any other reason, he doesn't care.

Wang Shizhen said some inconsequential things to Wang Sirui, and then left the office, feeling that he could not get any important answers from Wang Sirui.

However, Wang Shizhen was unwilling to let Wang Sirui delay like this, which would be a bad thing.

"How's it going?" Duan Qirui and the others saw Wang Shizhen walking out, and hurriedly asked with concern, these are the lords who support Wang Sirui's accession to the throne.

"What else, do Tai Chi." Wang Shizhen was a little dissatisfied, immediately looked around, and said in a low voice: "We might as well be ......" (to be continued.) )
