Qiao Lao said that the general mentality of the Chinese bureaucracy was that the Constitutionalists were counting on gaining the power to lead the reform through the constitution, and wanted to control the power through peaceful means, and the emergence of the imperial cabinet made this hope completely ruined, among the thirteen-member cabinet, nine Manchus, seven of them were imperial families, so that anyone who could not bear it, obviously swore that the Qing court believed in it as the Manchus themselves, and it was also a Manchu royal family that was related by blood, The unity of the Manchus and Hans, who had been shouting for hundreds of years, became a joke in the face of cruel reality.

Old man Qiao clutched the newspaper tightly in his hand, and didn't say a word, but his heart was far from being so calm as it seemed, the old man was not visible in the officialdom, and he had been peaceful and peaceful until Zhishi went home, and he had not experienced too many twists and turns.

It can be said that Qiao Yu knows that the harm of the imperial cabinet is by virtue of the knowledge of later generations, but the old man is completely relying on his understanding of the Qing dynasty and the opposition, and now there are three major forces in the Qing Dynasty, one is the imperial court, one is the revolutionary party, and the other is the constitutional party, among the three, the constitutional party is the real control of the local real power, representing the power of the gentry and landlords that have lasted for thousands of years. It can only rely on relying on other forces to protect its own interests.

As soon as the imperial cabinet came out, it was undoubtedly telling these people that the imperial court did not welcome you, so these people would have only one way to support the revolutionary party, and the rest of the situation would be clear, and the Qing Dynasty would come to an end.

"Dad, you'd better take a rest first, it's been a long journey!"

"No, Shunqing, Shiqing, come with me, I have a few words to explain!" Qiao Yu and the eldest brother both guessed the old man's thoughts, and hurriedly accompanied the old man to the room.

"Dad, just say what you want!" Qiao Guangyuan nodded slightly at Qiao Yu: "Shunqing, you are indeed extraordinary, you can see so long-term, very good, I'm afraid things are really as you expected, but you are a little too hasty to toss in Yucheng now, it is not a good thing to make too many enemies, Daddy has only one experience as an official in his life, that is, he should never be a bird, protecting himself is far more important than destroying the enemy, the Alliance and the Elder Association will be in Yucheng for a day, the government will use your strength, and now you expel them, Then you will become a big problem for the court! ”

Qiao Yu was about to explain his thoughts to his father, but the old man waved his hand, and then said: "Shunqing, I also guessed your thoughts, but I want to grasp as much power as possible before the chaos comes, in fact, it can be done by other means, don't be so laborious, I have already given Zhao Erfeng a letter, just say that I want to see my son, let him give your second brother a holiday as soon as possible, and I also found someone to tell Zhao Erfeng the news of the turmoil in Chongqing, how do you say Zhao Erfeng should deal with it?" ”

As soon as Qiao Yu heard the old man's words, he thought about it a little in his heart, and his eyes lit up: "Daddy, if I were Zhao Erfeng, I would let the second brother lead the troops to stabilize the situation in Yucheng, so that we could use the power of our family, the second brother himself fought bravely, and he happened to be the best candidate to defend Yucheng!" ”

"That's right, this can completely make your second brother sing black face, you sing red face, you don't have to rush to fall out with Zhu Youji and others, but it doesn't matter, Zhu Youji is also incompetent, he will only try his best to cover it up, but he doesn't dare to joke about his family name, he will only try to exaggerate the danger of Yucheng, so that your second brother is more likely to come back! It's not wrong for you to take this step, but you have to pay attention to it further, there are many people in this world, if you want to move forward, you will inevitably confront these people head-on, these people's means should not be underestimated, if you are not careful, it will inevitably go wrong, you must be cautious! ”

Qiao Yu knew that this was the time for his father to teach face-to-face, and listened humbly, he also knew very well that there was still a huge gap between himself and those famous people in history, even if he was able to occupy an advantage in the general trend with the insight of later generations, but he didn't know about many of the confrontations hidden behind him, as the old man said, if you are a little careless, then wait to be sold!

Dad can quietly transfer the second brother Qiao Zhen back, this skill is absolutely extraordinary, if Yuan Datou wants to calculate himself in the future, I'm afraid he may not be able to escape the old man's eyes!

"Daddy, please mention more in the future, with you always in charge, the child will be braver!"

Qiao Guangyuan sighed slightly: "Alas, the Qing Dynasty is over, I have buried most of the people in the loess, and I have lost my loyalty, I am really ashamed!" ”

"Dad, there has been no prosperous era for 300 years since ancient times, and the Qing Dynasty has enjoyed the country for a long time, and it has created so many evils, it should be over! Why should you be sad! ”

The old man talked for a while, the old man's body was also a little tired, so he went to rest, in fact, there are no longer a few people like the old man who see through the world, a short and fat old man in Huanshang Village, Henan Province is fishing, his expression is serene, his eyes are squinted, and he seems to be in control of everything.

"Xiang Cheng, this time the court has made a big stupid move, the world is in chaos, I'm afraid your comeback is just around the corner!" A scribe came to the fat old man who was fishing with a telegram and smiled, and put the telegram in front of the old man, who took it and smiled.

"Xingcheng, why are you so out of shape, it's just expected, Zaifeng and his gang finally kicked the old man out of Yanjing, isn't it just the word power, where will it be caught, what else will these emperors and nobles do in their minds in addition to setting up eagles and walking dogs, fighting crickets, and raising gnats, this world will only add chaos to them, believe it or not, they will make bigger stupid moves!"

"Xiangcheng is a true god, I have already received the news, it is said that Yixuan has promised Sheng Xingsun to prepare to nationalize the Sichuan-Han Railway, and at the same time to clear the slag accounts, I am afraid that this is another big hornet's nest!"

The fat old man didn't seem to hear this, just shook his hand, and a fat big fish took the bait: "Xingcheng, if you want to catch a big fish, you have to be patient, the more you have to be stable at this time, wait for those incompetent people to come and beg us!" ”

The fat old man is the famous Yuan Shikai in the future, and the scribe is his number one strategist Yang Shiqi, relative to Yuan Shikai's wisdom pearl in hand, Zhang Jian, the leader of the Constitutional Party of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is angry to death at this time, his old man is active up and down, instigated several petitions, and only then did he come up with a cabinet, but there is no name in this cabinet, how can he not be angry, his heart is uneven, it seems that the revolutionary party's racial revolution is reasonable, if the Qing court is not overthrown, the Han people are not at home, there is no way to get out of their own way, Zhang Jian's mentality has quietly changed, and the chaotic party is no longer a flood beast, but a new road.

This situation is playing out everywhere, and politically sensitive people instinctively sense that something is wrong, just after the imperial cabinet was released, on May 9, the policy of nationalizing the Sichuan-Han Railway and the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, which were originally run by business!

In fact, as mentioned above, the nationalization of the railway is an inevitable choice, and the major shareholders of Sichuan Hanlu are also very clear, but the crux is who should bear the deficit caused by the stock speculation, the attitude of the imperial court is very clear, and it will never bear it, on the contrary, Wang Wenwen, the acting governor of Sichuan, will hand over all the railway accounts, and the responsibility for causing the deficit will undoubtedly fall on Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun and others.

Of course, these people will not be restrained, they gathered in one place all day, thinking of countermeasures, Luo Lun usually has the most ideas, and at this time he also spoke first: "Everyone, the imperial court will nationalize the railway, not only can we not continue to collect rental shares, but the responsibility for causing the deficit will also fall on us, I think everyone might as well fight to the death, there is still a chance of winning, otherwise wouldn't it sit still?" ”

Pu Dianjun also couldn't stop thinking about it in his heart, and he also knew that there was no way out, so he asked, "Brother Ziqing, do you think we have a chance to win?" ”

"Why not, now there are a large number of shares of Shengdou Xiaomin in the railway company, which are their lifeblood, and the imperial court is nationalized, they will definitely worry about the safety of their shares and want to exchange them for silver, but the imperial court does not have the financial resources to exchange these stocks for silver, we just need to lead their hatred to the imperial court, and say that the imperial court is going to take advantage of it and sell everyone's hard work to foreigners, and then I will see how the Qing court can bear the anger of the people of Sichuan."

Pu Dianjun thought about it, Luo Lun's idea was similar to what he thought, but he still had a trace of worry in his heart: "Ziqing, if you force the Qing court to be in a hurry, will you attack us?" ”

"Then it depends on our means, but now that the imperial cabinet has just come out, the gentry constitutional parties everywhere are extremely dissatisfied with the Qing court's practices, as long as we unite this force in one place, we can not only keep the right to continue to collect rental shares, but also maybe get greater benefits from the Qing court!"

Pu Dianjun finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, Ziqing, you will contact the gentry and businessmen from all over the country now, especially the business community in Yucheng, let Sichuan unify their opinions first, and then we will try our best to fight for it first, and it is best to make the Qing court give up the plan of nationalization!" ”
