Now that he has returned to the Governor's Palace, Song Biao has always dealt with the recent uproar and the whole country has been scolded by the whole country, unlike the modern illiterate Manchu elite royal family, Song Biao has always controlled the media of his own world.

Returning to Fengtianfu, Song Biao first did two things: one was to arrange a series of editorials on the ruling plan in the "Northeast Daily" to stabilize the politics and public opinion within the three eastern provinces; Second, they published reports in a series of newspapers, such as "New Deal and Strong Country Daily" and "Far Eastern Daily" run by the Far East Printing Bureau, "Xinhua Daily" sponsored by the Xinhua Society, "Oriental Times" secretly established by the Guangfu Society in Shanghai, and "Declaration" and "Jiangnan Daily" in which the Far Eastern Consortium became a shareholder in Shanghai. During this time, the Governor's Office of the Three Eastern Provinces has been discussing matters such as the New Deal Plan and the goals of the ruling plan, and Song Biao, the Governor of the Three Eastern Provinces, has no intention of participating in the discussion of this matter and does not hold any opinions.

The secret tabloid "New Nation" of the Liberation Society gave priority to action, defining the matter as a political conspiracy by the Manchus to frame the governors of the three eastern provinces, pretending to establish a feudal domain, using public opinion to kidnap politics, forcibly forcing Song Biao to retreat, and controlling the military and political power of the three eastern provinces.

After other newspapers followed suit as planned, the article and related reports were also reprinted in Zilinxi Daily, the most influential English-language publication in China, through some special arrangements.

Song Biao took another time to meet with US Minister Rockhill and British Minister Zhu Erdian, and bluntly said that he had not mentioned this matter, and that this matter was purely a palace drama directed and performed by the Qing political axe, and the performance was very low-level, and he had no intention of backing down at all, and he still took stabilizing the situation in the three eastern provinces as the first priority.

On this basis, the "Far East Daily" reminded the Qing government axe to be careful and not to go too far, and continued to report on the large-scale thousand-mile combat exercise held by the whole army of the Northeast New Army on the same page.

The Manchurians of this period were a group of people who were fierce when they scolded the streets, and they coaxed like shit when they encountered real things.

As soon as Song Biao counterattacked, the whole of the Beijing division was silent, and the ministers of various ministries exchanged the silver accumulated in the Beijing division through the money village and went home, and arranged for their families to leave Beijing, as if they were really going to war.

At this moment, Qing Zhengaxe really knew that he was afraid, or that the Manchurians were cowardly again, but how would such a big thing end?

At this time, the Qing Dynasty had just passed the "Great Qing Newspaper Law" in an attempt to implement a strict censorship system for domestic newspapers and publications, but in the concession, the Qing Dynasty Axe's law was invalid, and in the three eastern provinces, Song Biao had already approved the "Three Eastern Provinces News Management Regulations" last year, and the purposes of the two were completely in conflict, and the "Great Qing Newspaper Law" was obviously impossible to implement in the three eastern provinces.

Previously, it was the Qing political axe that the Manchu civil and military officials scolded Song Biao, but now it has become a newspaper in the three eastern provinces that scolded the Qing political axe and the Manchu officials for being idiotic and obscene, criticizing the Qing political axe for trying to destroy the prosperity of the three eastern provinces in order to cover up their own incompetence.

The Qing government now wants to silence the situation, but the situation cannot be stopped at all, and the whole country is in an uproar with their connivance, and now Cixi has issued an order demanding that local officials stop the discussion of the establishment of vassals—can this calm the situation throughout the country?

The Guannai is now violently divided, with most people continuing to scold Song Biao and some questioning the actual intentions of the Qing political axe.

In this kind of quarrel, the 33rd year of Guangxu became a part of the past history, and the New Year passed.

The thirty-fourth year of Guangxu is the year of the goat, and on February 2, 1908, this day is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, because the matter with Shu Xuan was almost decided, Zhang Binglin went to propose relatives to Shu Gaoli as Song Biao's Chinese language teacher, and did not bring a dowry, that is, when playing chess, he said a word "by the way", and Shu Gaoli "by the way" did not object, in this case, when Shu Fangde invited Song Biao, a lonely man, to their New Year, Song Biao unceremoniously accepted the invitation.

The Shu family is a big family, this family is really lively when they get together, Shu Gaoli is indeed blessed, twelve sons, two daughters, Shu Fangjin studied abroad at the University of Political Science and Law, and Cai Yuanpei was a classmate, and later read half of it and went to Yale University in the United States to study for a doctorate in economics at Song Biao's suggestion and funding, and is still continuing his studies, and he will have to wait a few years to graduate.

Starting from Shu Xuan, the younger siblings under the Shu family are still young, the seventh Shu Fangshou has just graduated from St. John's University in Shanghai, and is preparing to study in the United States, and is preparing to study medicine like his father Shu Gaoli and eldest brother Shu Fangren, while Song Biao suggested that he go to Columbia University to study chemistry.

Song Biao wore a bright blue woolen leather jacket at night, because Shu Xuan knitted a long blue woolen scarf for him, and made him a pair of thick cotton gloves made of blue canvas, which were carefully tied together with a cotton belt and hung around his neck.

It is said that Shu Xuan really wanted to make a pair of cotton shoes with mille-feuille soles for Song Biao, but unfortunately the craftsmanship was too poor, so she had to ask the maid at home to help make them for her, and finally she was really embarrassed to give them to Song Biao.

Song Biao listened to what Shu Fangde said, and he thought this matter was interesting anyway.

Everyone gathers at home, so there is a special taste of the New Year, the red lanterns are hung high, the children have red envelopes for couplets and text panels, and Song Biao also gave a lot of New Year's money, and he finally got free, and he had to make dumplings with Shu Xuan.

In fact, Song Biao is quite envious of Shu Gaoli, and he also hopes that one day when he lives to this age, he will also have more than a dozen children, large and small, who will get together for the New Year.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Song Biao did not continue to play chess with Shu Gaoli, and left the Shu family early to let their family get together to play mahjong, and he returned to his home.

The guard battalion also seemed a little deserted, Zhang Futian took a day off, except for a dozen guards who continued to be on duty, Li Dahan and others were eating meat and drinking wine in the room.

The life of the army is monotonous, you can't play mahjong, you can't push pai gow and shake the dice, and you can play mahjong for a day at home during the New Year.

Song Biao sat alone in the study in a daze, and at this time, he knew that the Spring Festival Gala was not useless.

This day is quite lonely, if it is not for the Shu family to have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I am afraid it will be even more boring.

Song Biao was bored and was about to go to bed early, and when he woke up, it was the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu, and he could continue his previous life, going to work every day to deal with official business, eating and playing chess and reading books after work.

At this time, Colonel Martos came to look for him, the colonel of the Russian army of Polish origin must not have the habit of celebrating the New Year, and he has the same work as normal, it is estimated that Song Biao has nothing to do today, so he casually came to him to talk about the expansion of the new army.

Although Song Biao didn't want to continue to talk about official business today, he was already idle, and he received Colonel Maltos very warmly, and was about to talk a few words, when Jiang Fangzhen and Jiang Yanxing brought their children and their wives over, saying that they were giving the children New Year's money, and saying that, they actually came to comfort Song Biao, who was lonely.

Everyone gathered together to play mahjong at the table.

The card skills were poor, and Song Biao admitted to losing the bet.

If Song Biao had a good year, Cixi had a terrible year, and the New Nation, New Youth, and New Oriental, which were obviously revolutionary, were not idle, and continued to attack the Qing government with the feudal incident.

The ban on the Qing Zheng axe became invalid when it arrived in the concession, and the "Su Bao" case, which had already made a lot of noise, could not be caught, so he could only continue to appeal to the concession court, demanding that the concession ban these publications.

I can't check it, the concession side actually knows better that these publications have a tough backstage, and even the ministers of various countries have greeted them, and they don't close them at all, so as to protect the freedom of speech of the Chinese.

Although the Northeast New Army has stopped in the past few days, it is difficult to say whether there will be a thousand-mile Great Leap Forward exercise, after all, it is such a cold day, but the Northeast New Army dares to make such a gesture, which in itself frightens Cixi's old courage.

The thirty-third year of Guangxu will become a thing of the past, and Cixi, who has been in charge of the government for thirty-three years in the Qing Dynasty, finally understands today that her tricks of controlling the government and hundreds of officials in the past are not used at all here by Song Biao.

The more this is the case, the more Cixi knows that Song Biao does not put the Great Qing Kingdom in her eyes at all, but she does not give up, she knows that her body and bones have not been able to survive for long, in the past half a year, she is Concubine Zhen almost as soon as she closes her eyes, and when she opens her eyes, she is the Northeast New Army.

She didn't give up, she just wanted to hear Song Biao personally promise to be loyal to the court, loyal to the Manchus, and willing to be a slave to their Manchu royal family, only in this way can she be blind.

She was tormented, and she continued to suffer on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, as if waiting for some kind of miracle to happen, hoping to get a letter from Song Biao, even if it was a call back.

Wait, wait, wait, wait until the thirty-third year of Guangxu slid in front of her eyes.

Ding Weinian has gone, Wushen has arrived, Cixi finally has a little dead heart, she suddenly understands that she just can't turn a blind eye.

The youth of Cardamom, the joy of the dragon after entering the palace, the pain of holding the government and the loss of a child in middle age, the rebellion and hesitation of the stepson in his later years, the loneliness and danger in his twilight years, the Qing Dynasty is so big, and there are so many people and slaves, who can understand her feelings.

Her weeping has no tears, and who can see it.

The next morning, she summoned Zai Feng, who had just become the Minister of Military Aircraft yesterday, and had a secret conversation for a morning, and then ordered Yi Zhi to confer Song Biao as the first-class Anyuan Jingyi Gong, and give Zheng Python Fang Supplement, Purple Reins, and Pimps, and confer the Three-Eyed Flower Feather, and the Dongge University Scholar, without entering Beijing, the Governor of the three eastern provinces in charge of local military affairs, new policies, food and wages, tariffs, rivers, railways, and reclamation offices in charge of the three provinces, and the military and civil affairs of the three provinces, and the governor of Fengtian, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Northeast Province, and manage the foreign affairs, trade regulations and foreign affairs of the three provinces.

In addition to this, a separate decree was issued to allow the Yamen of the Governors of the three eastern provinces to play the matter of issuing tickets.

At this point, Cixi had no other way to settle the matter than to adopt Zhang Zhidong's compromise opinion, and Zaifeng and Zhang Zhidong were ordered to go to the three eastern provinces to inspect the new policy and issue a decree.

The reason why Cixi let Zaifeng go to the three eastern provinces was to let Zaifeng understand what it meant to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, and what it meant to lie down and taste courage, she had no time to deal with Song Biao, only Zaifeng still had the time and energy.

…… Song Biao received a telegram from the Military Aircraft Department on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, to be honest, he didn't feel anything, he originally thought that the Qing Zheng Axe could give him 10 million taels of silver to show his sincerity in never fighting, and help him solve the problem of military pay this year, but he was given such a broken thing.

Wasn't these powers in his hands long ago?

Can the so-called first-class public be eaten as a meal?

It is the first time that the python prescription has been given to the Han people, does it make sense?

After reading the telegram, Song Biao only felt that Cixi and the Manchu people really didn't understand his heart, they thought that these were unprecedented honors and rewards, but in his eyes they were all a bunch of bullshit, not even worth a penny.

Couldn't the Manchu court give him 10 million taels of silver to apologize?

That's so affordable!

However, the matter of the ticket turmoil was finally resolved, and the Qing government axe agreed to a series of proposals of the governor of the three eastern provinces Yamen on the handling of the ticket.

As for the fact that Zaifeng and Zhang Zhidong are going to organize a delegation to the three eastern provinces to inspect the new policy, this is even more of a matter, and the entertainment work still needs to be arranged.
