The third volume enters Beijing in the second chapter of Joseon

On April 19, the 19th year of Guangxu, at the gate of Yanjing Shuiguan, there were already gathered figures in neat robes. The official pavilion and the painted archway have been built in accordance with the regulations. According to the ancestral system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when the ministers returned to Beijing, they all returned to the capital from the Jingxi Road Bridge Station, and there was a greeting system according to the rank of the ministers. If it is a prince or other clan relatives or a feudal minister and military minister with the title of Jiaqincha, then the honor guard is at least welcomed by the prince himself. When Qianyao returned from his expedition to the west, Yongzheng personally relieved the robe of the general of the Qincha. However, with the change of the times, now the ministers of the Qin Mission have returned from overseas, and most of them have changed from Tianjin to the steamer to the shore of the capital Shuiguan, and the old example of the Luqiao Post has been abolished. The guard of honor that greeted him gradually loosened as the clan withered. The weather of the Heavenly Empire has declined.

However, this time to welcome the minister back to Beijing, the weather was different from that in the past ten years. From dawn, it was full of officers and soldiers of the Beijing Infantry Yamen who rushed to maintain order, and after some time, there were more than a dozen flag soldiers in the Tiger Gun Battalion, who insisted on the Tiger Flag as a scene for the ceremony. The head gradually rose, and the official cars and sedan chairs continued to come. The banner men looked at it from afar. These flag men don't have other skills, but they are proficient. After a while, they began to sigh at each other.

"Look, look! Weng Zhongtang has arrived, hey! The old man is still laughing today, it's not easy! Which big guy is this? ”

"The old man is also here, and his old man is on duty and he doesn't see any guests. My aunt's wife is also his distant niece and nephew, and when I went to see the old man in the middle of the night, the foreigner's clock was only six o'clock, and the old man went to sleep! It's actually here this time? ”

"The fourth in the world! The fourth in the world! The foreman of the military aircraft has also arrived, hey! Several major military planes have gathered, and Devil Li wants to come over? Is there a prince coming later? Really take a good look! ”

"Even if the fourth child arrives, it's amazing, he doesn't put the prince in his eyes, do you see the eunuchs serving beside him? It's all the number of Lafayette's rewards compared to the example of the king. Who else will the fourth child take over in this life? ”

The banner man and the battalion soldiers of the infantry commander Yamen did not talk, but tried their best to get together with the Tiger Gun Battalion to make friends, and asked in a low voice: "Which master is this greeting?" ”

The flag soldiers of the Tiger Spear Battalion were also mysterious: "Great! This time it was Xu Daqin, who had broken the Dutch red-haired ghost, to return to Beijing, and several major military planes were personally connected, and the emperor and Lafayette summoned him! ”

The idlers who asked widened their eyes, and the two thumbs were raised high: "Good man, good man!" I'll have to take a good look later! ”

Several military planes on the Shuiguang Wharf were guarding the grace of the prime minister, and they did not glance to the west. Just reserved and whispered to each other, greeted the Qincha, and couldn't wait in Mazhazi, and a few Goshha supported a few old men. Although the bearing is good, the words of several people are scattered, and I don't know what they are talking about. Everyone's hearts are full of all sorts of thoughts.

Several major military planes greeted this political envoy, who was only more than 20 years old, and Xu Yifan, who was definitely not born on the right path, was indeed exceptional. But who let this Xu Yifan involve the overall situation of the center and want to regain military power? Several military planes and the princes who took power have discussed, and they have also entered the palace to ask for instructions repeatedly. In the end, I made up my mind that if I wanted to use Xu Yifan, I had to subdue Xu Yifan. It is necessary to give both grace and power. Well, Xu Yifan's official has been appallingly promoted, and he has to leave some room for future progress. Qian is not as good as Li Hongzhang's handwriting for sending a house, and the Beijing official is bitter! I had to give Xu Yifan a little dignity at this ceremony. Even Erle and Bu Lao Zhongtang came over with old bones. Appreciating the purple reins, appreciating the honor guard, and the Batu Luyong are all ready-made.

Wei is to let him see the central authority, Xu Yifan was in Beijing at the beginning, but he was just a Taoist. I haven't looked at the majesty of the heavenly family yet, this time Lafayette personally met him, and then put on a good show for him to see! This time, Surabaya, acted recklessly, and reprimanded him in person. In this way, you can be afraid of Wai Huaide, isn't it? Now all the princes are selecting capable banner descendants, waiting to be stuffed to Xu Yifan. This is another method of containment, it is said that Lafayette is still silently in the Sacred Heart, selecting the real minister of military training, especially the capable and able to subdue Xu Yifan!

All the military planes had this kind of thought in their hearts, and when they exchanged pleasantries, they simply stopped talking about it. They just smiled at each other, and they were also slightly anxious in their hearts: "Why hasn't this Xu Yifan arrived yet?" The spring wind is still hard in the bones, everyone is old, and the wind is blowing, but it's not fun! National affairs are important, and my body and bones don't seem to be so insignificant, right......"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The steamer whined, dragging a painted official boat to the east, stirring up white waves on the brick river waterway from Tianjin to Yanjing, and the Qincha group python festival flag was hunting and fluttering in the spring breeze.

On both sides of the brick river, the green fields are picturesque.

Xu Yifan went ashore from Tianjin and did not stay in Jinmen for long. Li Hongzhang was sick two days before he arrived in Tianjin, and he didn't want to see Xu Yifan behind closed doors. Xu Yifan didn't bother to go to the door, first, he was constrained by his own Qincha system, and he couldn't see the ministers without permission. He is no longer a member of the Imperial Mission Committee of the Song School, but a minister directly under the central government! Second, I am indeed too lazy to go, I don't have much time, and I can avoid entertainment. As a result, he settled his family in the house, went to Yamen, and returned to Jinmen with it, and Zhan Tianyou, who couldn't understand his voice when he was in Nanyang, and didn't know what he was busy with, went straight to Yanjing.

Time is running out...... Jia Wu, but it's right in front of you.

At this time, he sat in the official cabin, knocking on the tea cup, and quietly looked at Zhan Tianyou.

Speaking of this subordinate, Zhan Tianyou is really a little stunned by those who are engaged in technology in later generations. When he got on his boat, he didn't greet him, but just said that he wanted to sort out his experience of running around. Locked in the cabin for more than a day, he stood in front of him with red eyes at this time, and there was a stack of folds in his hands, which seemed to be his hard work.

Xu Yifan looked at Zhan Tianyou's appearance, and suddenly smiled helplessly: "Daren, Daren, it's almost time to sort it out when you arrive in Yanjing, how can I have time to look at such an old stack?" You choose to talk about it, since I said that the matter of this technology factory equipment is entrusted to you, then there is nothing to say, what do you say, what should I do! ”

In order to recruit talents and subdue their minds, this generous image made Xu Yifan want to vomit a little.

Zhan Tianyou really showed a little grateful, and bowed in a muffled voice: "These subordinates are all investigating the pros and cons of the factories run by those foreign ministers from south to north. Only then did I receive the news that my lord had been transferred to North Korea for military training. The subordinates have been thinking about it for a long time, and they must set up another situation, a strong army, an arsenal, and raw materials must be guaranteed! North Korea has coal and some iron, but it's all in North Korea. The subordinates think that if we want to be unhindered, we should simply set up our military base in Pyongyang! The waterway is accessible, the transportation is convenient, and the coal and iron can be supplied. We can recruit workers, and we can set up our own schools for training. The characters who can be the backbone are already big names in their subordinates......"

Pyongyang? Xu Yifan was already raising question marks in his heart. In less than two years, it will be the first day of the Sino-Japanese War, and the factory in Pyongyang will be able to keep it? However, he listened quietly, since Zhan Tianyou said that it could be set up there, it must have taken into account Pyongyang's excellent situation. Think about the original colonial rule in Korea, which was also in the north of Korea, taking advantage of the abundant coal and iron resources there. Originally, the Northeast was the best base he imagined, but now his hand is never able to reach the Northeast. Just thinking about dealing with the banner man general there, he felt that his head was big.

Another advantage in northern Korea is that the Manchus originally operated in Korea, mainly in Seoul and Yongkou, the bee waist area of North Korea. The center of gravity of the Korean vassal state is also in the south rather than in the north. With Pyongyang backed by the motherland, there is a lot of room for its own arbitrariness.

Perhaps, through a small-scale operation here in Pyongyang, North Korea, it would be good to train a group of talent backbones first? As long as the money and materials can be helped, as long as your status does not fall. As long as there is a group of foreign talents and a team of trained workers, it can be rebuilt anywhere!

Besides, you may not be able to keep Pyongyang yourself!

He thought about it a little deeper, and Zhan Tianyou babbled on and on analyzing the steps to set up a preliminary industrial base in Pyongyang, as well as the talents he fancied, but he didn't listen to it much. He didn't bother to take care of these details. Now all aspects of things have made his head as big as a fight, and then he takes care of the details, but he is afraid that he will fall into the stars.

When he came back to his senses, he only heard Zhan Tianyou's last few words: "...... My lord, my subordinates estimate that it is impossible to set up this package of affairs in North Korea without five million taels of silver. It will take three years to see results. The most important thing is that you have to ask your subordinates to give full authority! If our foreign affairs are bad, I think it is the foreign ministers who appoint private individuals and use the factories as the yamen! Let's do these foreign affairs, don't set up official titles! At the beginning, it is best to attach some private shares, the board of directors and councils are readily available, and whatever is done, it will be done in accordance with the method of foreigners running enterprises! ”

Xu Yifan snorted and wanted to be happy, he used to do this job in the National Development and Reform Commission. In his time, I don't know how many times the enterprise system changed, and I really used up all kinds of tricks. Unexpectedly, Zhan Tianyou also called him up for the reform of the enterprise system here.

He quickly restrained his smile and nodded solemnly: "It's all up to you, anyway, the power is in your hands, you can do whatever you like." Five million taels, I'll give it to you. ”

Zhan Tianyou glanced at Xu Yifan and widened his eyes. He opened his mouth to five million, but it was just an asking price, and privately thought that a million start-up fee would be good. He thought of recruiting some more business stocks. This Lord Xu is so angry, is it the God of Wealth or what? Besides, it is also a taboo to let the Western-style factory not have an official title. Although he was stunned, he was not stupid, and he was a well-known American child. Isn't it tantamount to taking out the corner of the boss's power by letting the Western-style enterprises stand on their own? These two conditions did not wait for Xu Yifan to turn his face, and he packed up his baggage and went back to rebuild his bridge and railway. I can also intuitively feel that with this adult who stirs up the wind and rain, the water is only afraid that it is too deep to engage in technology with peace of mind......

Unexpectedly, Xu Yifan actually agreed!

Rao is Zhan Tianyou, and he can't help but feel hot in his heart.

He just looked at Xu Yifan with a smile, and the words behind him froze for a while. All I heard was the whining of the whistle outside.

Xu Yifan just looked at him with a smile: "Daren, what I think about is not just self-contained, I think more!" I want you to build our industrial system! Now, it's just the beginning, since I believe in you, I'll let you do it! ”

Industrial system? Industrial system!

Isn't this his Zhan Daren's dream? If a country really wants to become strong and prosperous, power and conspiration will change, but it is just a passing cloud. Vertical and horizontal, but also rootless wood. What is really supported by the national strength of a country is comprehensive industrialization! But in this big empire, how difficult it is to complete this dream, and no matter how ideal people are, they feel disheartened when they think about the current situation. It's a big change! Instead of relying on the young and sometimes silvery adult in front of him, he said it lightly!

But why did he still feel hot in his eyes when he heard these four words from his mouth?

Only dreams are unchanged and purest.

He quickly lowered his head, raised it again after a while, and said in a calm tone: "My lord, these are too far. Let's take our time. However, for the sake of adults, to gain a foothold in North Korea is nothing more than to have a strong army that can be established quickly. I don't know anything about military training, but I still know a little bit about weapons. Recently, the latest weapons developments in the world were also examined. His subordinates believe that in addition to foreign guns and foreign cannons, there is also a rapid-fire weapon called the Makqin repeating foreign gun. In an instant, hundreds of projectiles are sprayed out, and they can be fired one or two kilometers away! Foreigners, I've also seen it, are all dense and strict formations, once this kind of weapon is equipped, it may be a good way to defeat the enemy! The foreigners didn't know how, and they didn't have too many such magic weapons, but their subordinates asked the foreign company to buy ten first, and they were also working on this weapon with a few technicians. Adults training their troops, and they must be equipped with such weapons! The subordinates guarantee to you that within a year, we can imitate it and help the army of adults! ”

Xu Yifanhuo stood up suddenly, Zhan Tianyou was really still holding the treasure! He was not agitated by the Maxim machine gun. He no longer has common sense, and he knows the whole story of the birth of this infantry heavy weapon and what happened in this era. It was not until 1905 that it was truly recognized during the Russo-Russian War, and it was not until after the outbreak of the First World War that it became a nightmare for intensive infantry attacks.

What he was really excited about was that the subordinates he selected actually had such an advanced consciousness, and Zhan Tianyou was really thinking about everything for him to become an army! Getting the talent to return to the heart, at this time, can make him happier than anything!

Isn't the sentence put forward by Marshal Stalin, which was carried forward to the extreme by the old man Mao, that cadres can decide everything? What did you say that moved Zhan Tianyou?

"Miss, why is your piano unstable?"

One of the twin little Lori girls, revealing a small pear vortex at the corner of her left mouth, tilted her head to look at Xiuningge, who was like a big sister to their little sister.

Xiu Ning just quietly looked at the strings, still at ease with the trembling of the immortal Weng Xianweng. She stretched out her five fingers and pressed the strings. His eyes just looked in the direction of the water.

"That Xu Yifan, it's time to go to the capital now."

The little girl was puzzled and tilted her head to the other side, who in Manyan Capital didn't know that Xiuning Gege's eyes were above the top! Cixi Lafayette likes this junior, and he also goes to his fate, rewarding one after another. Even the two little girls have a purse hanging from the inner palace. But I've never seen Xiuningge talk about a man so old!

She wanted to make a joke about her master, but she didn't dare. Xiuning loves their little sisters, like sisters and mothers. But he was very solemn, and he never said anything to them. In the end, the dimple little Lori had no choice but to smile: "Gege, let's play the piano again tomorrow......"

As he was talking, he heard a voice downstairs shouting, "Get up!" Let's go! I see that my sister still wants to pass it on or what? Do you want Fourth Master Pu to reward you two for being crispy or what? ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the other of the twins running up like a frightened deer, and the delicate little face supported by Qiu Pikan's shoulder was flushed. The small chest rose and fell: "Gege, Fourth Master Pu is coming up!" ”

Xiuning smiled: "I asked him to come, this is my brother-in-law, but it was passed on to another family, why did you stop it?" ”

The little Lori pursed her lips, and her lips were delicate without painting: "Gege, you didn't tell us again!" ”

There was the sound of swaggering footsteps on the stairs again, and then I saw Pu Sibeizi, who had been married to Xu Yifan, come upstairs, first glanced at the pair of little sisters fiercely, and then saluted Xiuning: "Old sister, I can come to see you, what's the matter?" Today I made an appointment with someone to fight quails, don't talk about it for too long, my brain hurts! ”

Xiuning smiled faintly, motioned for the little sister to serve tea, and looked at her younger brother again. Pu Yang didn't wear tattered clothes today, but the yellow belt he was tied was still tattered, and after sitting down, Erlang's legs were still shaking, and his eyes just didn't leave the little sister. The two little sisters also seemed to be quite jealous of him and dodged.

"Fourth, you've been hanging around like this for the rest of your life? Don't want to do something? ”

"Our banner people's hardcore crops, I am still a yellow belt! What is it easy to do? The Han people are happy to do it, let them do it well! ”

Xiu Ning bit her lip and smiled coldly, and her phoenix eyes sparkled: "We are all from Prince Chuxian's mansion, and Lao Tzu will die if he dies." Not on your own? I've had two more days of happiness, what about you? has been adopted since childhood, and he is still a black prince. You yellow belt buddies don't look down on you, do they? Fourth Master Pu, what a great majesty! ”

Pu Yang stood up suddenly, his face turned red, and he wanted to scold when he opened his mouth, but he forcibly accepted it: "Sister, if you hadn't hurt me since I was a child, I would have scolded the street today!" ”

Xiuning shook her head lightly: "You have been carried out since you were a child, just like throwing out the door, I don't hurt you, who else hurts you?" Everyone knows that you can't inherit that piece of belongings. There are also people behind you who point to your backbone, saying that you are hiding under my skirt and living...... Our aunt and grandmother of the banner people, there are not many people who have lived past forty, and I am gone, what should you do? ”

Pu Yang sat down dejectedly: "What can I do?" Sister, who doesn't want to be a man? But my case couldn't be darker anymore, and when you're with the clan, no one can look down on you. Some people come to make friends, but they are beating your idea. I beat away those bastards, and now it's good, but you are a female rabbit, why don't you marry when you are old...... And there's something even harder! Father...... What can I do? Just be with the gangsters, I'm a gangster...... Sister, our lives are not strong! ”

Hearing Pu Yang's unpleasant words, Xiuning's face was like snow, and she grabbed the strings tightly, and the two little girls looked at her worriedly, for fear that the young lady would be angry.

In the end, Xiuning just smiled faintly: "It's okay, let's just fight for ourselves." Sister has found you an errand messenger, you have to do it, and do it well! ”

"What errand?"

Xiuning looked solemn: "Go to North Korea, under Xu Yifan, follow the training of our banner people Praetorian Guard!" ”

"Xu Yifan?" Pu Yang's eyes rolled, and then he jumped up: "I don't do it!" I have a grudge against this kid! ”

Xiuning was slightly stunned, and then restrained her complexion, just looking at him quietly. Seeing that Pu Yang couldn't get out of his stomach, he finally sat down with his head on his head.

"Okay, if you don't go, continue to mess around in Yanjing City. Keep letting people poke you in the back and speak ill of your sister. You can only pretend that your grandson endures it...... The gangsters are still thinking about finding a place in the future, and you can only be a soft egg for the rest of your life. My sister is still waiting for you to protect me in the future! ”

When the words were eloquent, Pu Yang was rectum, and he was immediately moved. just looked at his sister's eyes red, and turned her head away.

"Sister, I'll just go...... But I said, sister, you're not just trying to find out for me, are you? ”

Xiu Ning looked at his old brother and nodded slightly. Pu Yang is among the juniors of the clan, although he is a fool, but he is extremely smart. It's just that he passed the wrong door, so he simply became a gangster. I really didn't misunderstand this younger brother! She looked at Pu Yang's eyes and said word by word: "Our bannermen participate in the training of the Praetorian Guards this time, which is to turn the Praetorian Guards into the real force of our bannermen!" There is another use for you to go, Xu Yifan has every move, I can't trust others, I can only trust you. You're going to have to tell me it all! In the future, if you think about it, when you return to the capital with thousands of soldiers, what will others think of you? ”

Pu Yang slapped his face: "The fourth master is done!" Sister, when will the tune pass, you will speak, and I Pu Yang is also a man who can run on his arm! ”

He said yes and went downstairs, dangling the yellow ribbon.

Xiuning turned around and pressed the strings again, but he didn't move for a long time. The two little girls didn't dare to come out, standing behind her and hanging their heads. I don't know how long it took, there was a bang, and the guqin, which was worth a thousand gold, was pushed down by Xiuning! The strings cracked, the buzzing trembled, and the two little girls were so frightened that they knelt down subconsciously!

In the trembling sound of the piano, I heard Xiuning's tone faint: "Why am I not a man......"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Firecrackers rang out, drums played loudly, and Xu Yifan's official ship finally arrived at Shuiguan Wharf. Several ministers of military aircraft glanced at each other, all dressed in robes and robes, and stepped forward solemnly. I saw the musicians on the official ship blowing and playing carefully, and then in the sound of silk and bamboo, Xu Yifan bent down and stepped out, looked at several military planes waiting there, and immediately hurriedly ordered to quickly put the springboard.

Several military planes are Mao sixty or seventy figures, looking at Xu Yifan wearing a red top and a Qincha Festival flag floating on his head. People are so young that they are really a little dazzling, and they have some sudden discomfort in their hearts.

This Xu Yifan is indeed a great Qing magic, but they still have to envelop him! There were a lot of people on the shore, and I don't know where they gathered to see the lively people, everyone saw Xu Yifan, and they all let out a burst of cheers.

"Lord Xu is in the Peerless Domain!"

"Lord Xu is my Great Qing Pillar Stone!"

"Lord Xu, help us teach foreigners a lesson!"

Xu Yifan had a smile on his face, but he kept giving it up and waited until the springboard was placed. He walked down from it quickly, Weng Tonghe had a friendship with him, took a step more, and said with a smile: "Lord Qincha has worked hard all the way!" The return of Nanyang this time is to preserve the dignity of the country, and Lord Xu's future is limitless! ”

Xu Yifan had a little bit of a bad fight, he kept hitting thousands, and his teeth were about to fly with a smile: "Adults TOEFL, TOEFL!" If it weren't for the maintenance of your adults in the center, how could I, Xu Yifan, be where I am today? He also brought back a little tuyi from Nanyang, and he said that he would send it to the adults' mansions, this face must be rewarded! ”

Several old men glanced at each other, Xu Yifan was sensible! Just as he was preparing to greet him again, and then went to the Jieguan Pavilion to drink the wine of being dismounted, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the idlers who were crowded to watch the excitement were separated from each other in waves. Xu Yifan raised his eyes and saw three knights wearing palace guard uniforms and yellow vests flying over. When he arrived in front of him, he didn't get off the horse, and he said loudly on the horse: "Spread the decree of the Queen Mother Lafayette, and Xu Yifan, the secretary of the department, will be introduced immediately, and there will be no delay!" ”

Several Zhongtang suddenly looked at each other, only Xu Yifan bowed down and danced calmly: "Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother Lafayette!" ”

Xu Yifan has just arrived in Beijing, so he has to be summoned urgently, or Cixi in person! This is also an anomaly that has not been seen in ten years!

Weng Tonghe stood next to him and listened, and his heart suddenly tightened: "Could it be that Lafayette also takes a fancy to Xu Yifan's future force, and Xu Xu Tuzhi, who he discussed with Guangxu, must master this bit of strength in his hand, isn't it possible?" ”
