As it turns out, most people in Xinjiang also want the environment to stabilize.

Every time Hu Chuyuan inspected a place, a large number of young people would emerge in the place, and many of them would ask to participate in the war with very good war horses. Especially in the Yanqi and Aksu areas, many Uygur and Hui herdsmen and farmers have donated the well-known Yanqi horses, which are very suitable for use in Xinjiang Province.

The people's thoughts are very simple, I heard that he is the biggest official in China, one level lower than the emperor, it seems that they can feel the existence of hope, for this hope, they are willing to give everything to exchange.

Hu Chuyuan walked around Xinjiang Province, inspected ten counties, and recruited two brigades of cavalry for Ha Peiying's Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Corps.

As long as there is the support of the people, there is really no war in the world that cannot be won.

Hu Chuyuan reorganized the personnel, let Ha Peiying maintain the policy that the army is a military academy, teach and train these brave men more, help them become soldiers of the regular army, and in the long run, use these people as the foundation to prepare for the establishment of a new Xinjiang Provincial Corps.

After stabilizing the popular and military support of Xinjiang Province, Hu Chuyuan returned to Beijing in March 1900, at which time Li Kaiye had already begun to plan some local counteroffensives to put pressure on the Yarkand rebels.

For this kind of rebel army, as long as there is pressure, their morale will be easily weakened. Moreover, a large part of the so-called 100,000 people were strong men who were driven and captured by the Russians in Kazakhstan.

Leaving Xinjiang Province by train and passing through Gansu, Shaanxi, and Henan again, Hu Chuyuan could only see the ignorant and backward China, but he no longer had any worries in his heart.

He knows.

Now, you can continue to laugh at China's ignorance and backwardness, and ridicule the Chinese for still having pigtail-like barbaric braids, but you must not ignore that since 1900, the central government has officially allocated funds for education, forming a three-force cooperative force of the central, local and private governments.

In 1900, the central government of the Qing Dynasty allocated a total of 74 million yuan to the education of the provinces, and the local finances of the provinces would allocate another 33 million yuan.

Hu Chuyuan's personal donations to education are still maintained at 100 million yuan, a scale that has been maintained for six consecutive years, and in addition to him, the total donations of the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce are also close to 100 million yuan.

According to Hu Chuyuan's data, this year, the country's total investment in education may exceed 400 million yuan, equivalent to 40 percent of the annual revenue of the Qing government.

In 1899, the total allocation at the state level was about $72 million, but the total amount allocated at the city and county level was as high as $130 million.

Investment in education was the second largest expenditure of the U.S. local government, and at the same time, in 1870, 9,200 people in the United States had obtained bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees, and by 1899 the number had increased by 21,400, and this rate was still increasing at a rate of 5 percent per year, and was expected to reach 50,000 per year around 1915.

In Germany today, there is one primary school for every 6,000 people and one secondary school for every 14,000 people, and the education system is compulsory, and the number of high schools and universities is even higher, and the total number of bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in 1899 has reached 34,700, and the civic literacy rate has increased from 13% in 1870 to 70%.

Between 1851 and 1900, Germans accounted for 30% of the major technological breakthroughs made worldwide.

Let's talk about it.

Although economic development was suppressed, from 1883 to 1886, the compulsory education coverage rate reached 50%, and in 1899, the penetration rate reached 93.7%.

Many people think that it is a militaristic country, but since 1880, the investment in education has always occupied the first place in the expenditure of the political axe.

With the help of British and French loans and support conditions, this book will send 1,000 international students to Britain, France and Germany for further study every year.

Education is a big issue.

In the 20th century, China's complete decline may not be due to institutional problems, but to educational problems.

If you think that China's economy is the first in Asia, and you have won the battle on the battlefield, you will surrender or even take refuge in you...... That's really delusional, looking at today with the ideas of the 21st century, there are indeed too many unbelievable things in this world.

Wake up, this is an era of rampant social Darwinism, and no one believes that China will take care of North Korea after becoming a great power, and China's strong rise in Asia only means that China itself will face elimination in the race competition...... Even if the Chinese don't think this way, I myself think so, which is why I advocate East Asian Caucasians and desperately prove that I am "white" than other Asian races.

Hu Chuyuan is very clear that he does not have obvious militaristic ideas in education, but social Darwinism is permeated in almost every place where it can appear.

In the same way, education in China, education in Germany, education in the United States, education in France, education in Russia, education in Romania...... Social Darwinism is everywhere, and this is why the First and Second World Wars were inevitable.

At this time, no one in the whole world believed that countries and nations could live in peace, and all races must become powerful countries if they want not to be eliminated, and countries and nations that are not strong will be enslaved...... This was the key factor in his greatest hostility to China at this time, or rather, the expansion of social Darwinism from the mid-19th century, which also laid the foundation for later national reading ideas and more national wars.

In Hu Chuyuan's view, the system is never the most critical, the key is the investment in education, the people awaken, the system will no longer be a problem, although in modern education, social Darwinism is everywhere.

Through the popularization of newspapers and the distribution of the internal reading material of officials, the "Consultative Reference", the spirit of social Darwin also created a great pressure, and this pressure is the basis of the "Enlightenment Movement", which is precisely to inspire all Chinese to awaken and work together for the competition of the whole nation.

People realized that it was no longer possible to improve the country and keep up with the times with only 100 jinshi places per year.

Although Weng Tongyi is still quibbling, and more rich gentry and village elders are still pedantic in trying to stop all new changes, many people have already taken action, and the number of people who attach importance to new education and new national spirit is indeed increasing rapidly throughout the country.

You can't expect China to change overnight, conservative and rigid people still make up the majority, but you also have to see that the number of progressive and radical people is increasing.

Of the 380 million people, there may be 330 million people who are conservative, indifferent, ignorant, pedantic and rigid, blindly believing in Confucianism and tradition, resentful and cursing change, and sworn to defend the ancestral system, but as long as 10 million people converge on change, this is enough to slowly change China...... Then, the amplitude will be larger and larger.

Especially in the six provinces south of the Yangtze River, in the past ten years, the education system of the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River has developed very soundly, and every township has already had a school, and in terms of the percentage of universal education, it may be far inferior to that of the United States, the United States, and Germany, but there is not much difference in the total number.

In the past 20 years, nearly 10 million quasi-intellectuals have emerged in the six provinces south of the Yangtze River, and in the past five years, about 7,000 people have studied in universities and abroad every year, 1/3 of whom are donated, 1/3 are self-funded, and 1/3 are trained by the state.

In the six provinces south of the Yangtze River, there are 14 universities and colleges in the modern sense, and more than 100 technical schools, technical schools, and vocational high schools.

The scale of Liangguang and Shandong followed, while Zhili and Huguang have just begun to embark on this road in recent years, but they have also developed rapidly. As long as we have the foundation of the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, have our own talents, and have our own high school students, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral students, it will be very easy to open more elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, universities, and technical colleges.

It should be said that after the previous 20 years of gestation, China's education has begun to enter a stage of development of blowout.

Even if you're in Henan and don't feel the change, the data tells you everything.

It's all Hu Dang, you can Hu Chuyuan is basically reading talents, but you have to admit that China's efficiency is indeed amazing, as long as he gives an order, the governors, prefects, and prefects in various places will run non-stop.

They may not understand the significance of engaging in these educations, but they know that if they don't do it well, they don't want to be promoted.

So, even if they don't support it in their hearts, they will pretend to be very supportive, and they will support it very hard.

That's enough.

That's enough.

For most officials, Hu Chuyuan's requirements are not high.

For them, Hu Chuyuan has only one sentence...... It doesn't matter if you don't understand the German Empire, you don't know how to do it, it doesn't matter, you can imitate it, and everything is copied from the German Empire, including German Social Darwinism.

Hu Chuyuan thought that everything was going well and that China would continue to grow stronger gradually, but when the train arrived in Kaifeng, he suddenly received a new urgent telegram...... The Boxers organized a rebellion, and the requirement was to "kill foreigners, kill Han Annihilation", and he was the first person in the list of Han Annihilation...... Hu Chuyuan.

At this time, it was only a few thousand meters away from the Kaifeng Yellow River Bridge, and after crossing the Yellow River, he stepped into the range of Zhili, which was also the area where the Boxers organized a riot.

Just like the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Boxer Boxer organization in Hebei and Shandong broke out at the same time on the 16th day of the second lunar month (March 16, 1900), destroying factories and churches, demolishing railways and electric wires, smashing schools, and even killing school teachers, railway workers, and factory mechanics.

Because it was a sudden eruption, the number of people is not clear, but there are about 10,000 people in the Beiping New Area alone, and the whole new area does not have a complete set of city walls like the old city, dozens of factories have been looted and turned into a sea of fire, and it happens that a new oil refinery has been built there, and the stored oil has caused a large-scale explosion.

For a while, Hu Chuyuan was a little speechless.

Sun Zongyuan had already stopped the train at the station, and asked Li Cunyi to immediately send troops down the station to guard the area around the train.

Hu Chu's face turned blue, and he stared coldly at the messy report in his hand, not knowing how angry he was. Hebei and Shandong have many people and little land, and he has always tried to find a way to move to the northeast, and every year when there is a slight famine, he will let the state treasury open a warehouse for relief, and he will also try his best to arrange employment in the local area.

In the past 10 years, he was worried that the employment rate in Hebei was too low, so he raised a large amount of funds to carry out construction in Hebei, built more reservoirs and canals than any other province, and promoted cotton and soybean planting in the local area to invigorate the economy.

He originally thought that as long as the people were well fed and clothed, it would be unlikely that there would be a large-scale uprising and rebellion, but he did not expect that a "civilized movement" would produce so many troubles.

He was silent for a long time, unable to speak, but what he felt in his heart was a kind of betrayal and sadness.

How long will ignorance and ignorance wreak havoc on this land?

Because the location of Baoding is a bit far away from Tianjin and Yanjing, in order to have a long-term triangular effect, he deliberately set up a new Beiping New Area in Bazhou, which is exactly 75 kilometers away from Yanjing and Tianjin, with petrochemical, ceramic and textile industries as the main body, as well as the world's first geothermal power plant.

For this plan of Beiping New Area, he paved the way for the Jinjin Railway and the Jinghan Railway from the very beginning, and deliberately intersected here to prepare for long-term development.

Even, he plans to build Beiping New Area into a new Hebei provincial capital, which will radiate the whole Hebei better than Shijiazhuang, and form a good interaction with Tianjin and Yanjing, forming a long-term triangular economic center.

For Hebei, he made so many plans, and he also invested nearly 100 million yuan.

Outcome...... A fire burned out, and so many people died.

However, what saddened him even more was a decision he had to make.

He knew that if he had been a little more attentive in the position of the first assistant minister, everything could have been avoided.

Kick oneself.

However, to no avail.

He could only silently pick up the pen and write the four words "Kill or kill" on the report, each stroke was written very hard, and it was extremely sad, but also extremely angry.

At this moment, perhaps only he can understand his feelings.
