Chapter 239: The Fate of the Manchurians

"Uncle Liang, this negotiation with Japan is very important to us, and we have to worry about it!" Wang Yuze said. At this time, there were only two of them in Wang Yuze's study, so there were fewer false courtesies and the like. Wang Yuze still regards himself as a junior. Although some of his views are not the same as Liang Xingrong's law, I have to say that Liang Xingrong is indeed a good hand in government affairs management, and he handles the government affairs in western Sichuan in an orderly manner, otherwise, Wang Yuze would not be as idle as he is now, and he can spend a lot of time in other aspects.

"Yu Ze, you put forward so many harsh conditions, will the Japanese agree? Will the Great Powers allow us to weaken Japan too much? Liang Xingrong said. When he received several demands from Wang Yuze for negotiations with Japan that Wu Tingfang had handed over to him, he was also completely shocked at that time. Obviously, he also thought that the Japanese would not accept such harsh conditions.

"Uncle Liang, now that Japan has been defeated, their navy is gone, and the army is about to be wiped out. They are like fish on a board at the mercy of us at the moment. If they don't agree, we don't even have to land on the Japanese mainland, we only need the navy to continue to besiege Japan, and it will be enough to trap them all on a few small islands! Wang Yuze said.

Liang Xingrong couldn't help frowning, he was born with an old-style education, although he later became Wang Xiao's beneficial assistant, but there are still many deep-rooted ideas that cannot be changed. In his lifetime, both Asian powers and neighbors separated by a strip of water, if China and Japan can join hands, they will develop even better. It's just that last year's Japanese invasion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty completely closed this possibility. However, Wang Yuze's demanding requirements still made him a little difficult to accept, as if he was robbing while the fire was burning.

"Uncle Liang, although Japan is a small country, it has always had the ambition of destroying China, and we must completely kill Japan! Otherwise, China will definitely pay a heavy price. In addition, we have just unified the whole country, and everything is waiting to be rebuilt. We need a lot of money. In addition, although we defeated Japan, we faced an even more dangerous international environment, and we always had to keep a large army. The annual military expenditure is also an astronomical amount. Therefore, we have to get a piece of meat from Japan to support China's development. The current era is the era of the jungle. If we don't, others will do the same. For the sake of future generations, this wicked person can only be our own! Wang Yuze knew what Liang Xingrong was thinking, and hurriedly explained. He had a deep talk with Liang Xingrong this time, and he also wanted to communicate with him well, so as not to be out of sync with the government and affect China's development. Of course, if Wang Yuze is willing, he can completely replace a prime minister. It's just that there are too few talents who can be as capable and disciplined as Liang Xingrong. Even his father-in-law, Yang Hua, is now the deputy prime minister, and Wang Yuze is not completely able to be trusted.

"Didn't we get a lot of money from those old and young people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty? Isn't this money enough to support China's development? Liang Xingrong asked. He has always firmly believed in the truth that "if you forget to fight, you will be in danger, and if you are warlike, you will die." However, he found that under the leadership of Wang Yuze, western Sichuan and even China had a tendency to develop in the direction of reckless military force, which made him a little worried. For example, this year's fiscal revenue in western Sichuan is expected to reach about 280 million yuan. But there are so many places to spend money that the government has been running deficits almost year after year. And now the size of the army in western Sichuan, the army plus instructors has a total of 54 divisions and two heavy artillery brigades, with more than one million people. The Navy also has a large fleet, and it is said that the Admiralty is already working on a new shipbuilding program that will more than double the size of the Navy. This makes the finances of western Sichuan simply unable to support it.

"Uncle Liang, we did get a lot of money from those old and young people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After more than a month of action, hundreds of Manchu nobles, large and small, were sentenced to death, and most of them confiscated all their family property. A very small percentage of the population retains only a small amount of their possessions. After statistics, we have received 3 billion funds. However, although there is a lot of money, there are too many places to spend money in a huge China. Just to build the country's railways and other transportation projects, it will cost 2 billion. My initial idea is to give the Ministry of Transportation one billion yuan first, and then pay the rest of the money year by year. Strive to improve domestic transportation in the past 20 years. In addition, China's education level is extremely backward, and more than 70 percent of the people are illiterate. This is also because compulsory education has begun to be implemented in western Sichuan. After the reunification of China, compulsory education will certainly have to be carried out, not to mention anything else, at least the compulsory education of primary schools must be universalized first, and in addition, the establishment of night schools for adults, various technical schools, middle schools, and universities will also cost a lot of money. The Ministry of Education roughly calculated, and it would cost more than one billion yuan. In addition, the development of the industrial level in the country is extremely uneven. Next, it is necessary to develop a large number of heavy industries, and build several heavy industrial zones in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Wuhan, Beijing, Tianjin, and Northeast China. Preliminary calculations will cost about one billion. Therefore, the money obtained from the old and young people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has already been spent. In order to maintain the current military strength and develop armaments, we naturally have to find ways from other aspects. This defeat of Japan is an excellent opportunity to speak ill of us. If you don't take the opportunity to slaughter them fiercely, you'll be so sorry for yourself. If we do not do our best to weaken Japan and develop ourselves, when Japan develops, it will definitely become our enemy again! Wang Yuze said.

These old and young remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are definitely a huge wealth for western Sichuan. More than 90 percent of the Manchu aristocracy turned from a superior man to a commoner, and he also lost all his wealth. Only a small number of people who are usually low-key, and at the same time keep in touch with western Sichuan, can be spared. For example, Prince Puxu Ding, although he no longer has a title, as one of Wang Yuze's fathers-in-law, his current identity is also untouchable. There is also Prince Li Shiduo, although only one-tenth of the family property is left, it is enough for him to live a comfortable life, to be able to save a life, and to be able to keep a part of the family property, which is already a surprise for him. This also made him want to be Wang Yuze's lackey even more. The current Manchu people of the Beijing Division, although under the strong suppression of the Western Sichuan Army, had to accept the arrangement of the Western Sichuan. But my heart is also full of resentment. Shi Duo could take this opportunity to spy on the news for Western Sichuan and break the Manchu people's will to resist from within. As for the national righteousness and the like, Shidor has long ignored it.

Many Manchurians have been enjoying the hardcore crops and not toiling. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was overthrown by western Sichuan, and the hardcore crops were naturally gone. This made these noble Manchurian uncles have to start doing those cheap jobs that they looked down on before. There are people who can't do anything, and in order to survive, they even have to throw guns or something. It's just that western Sichuan is very strict about the security of Jingshi. The men of a division are stationed in Caicheng and are responsible for the security of the Beijing division. Anyone who steals and robs, whether Manchu or Han, is shot. Even with it, people like the rags in the Beijing Division have also been swept away, and the law and order atmosphere in the Beijing Division is unprecedentedly good.

There are also many young ladies from large families who even have to sell themselves to fireworks places like Qinglou to engage in the profession they despised the most in the past. From a high-ranking lady, she became a betrayal of the ** girl. Those young masters, in order to survive, have to go to work as coolies, work as road builders, etc., which has to be said to be a huge contrast!

There are also some sober-minded Manchus who know that the Manchu Qing has been overthrown, and the Qing Dynasty is no more. simply sold Jingshi's real estate and returned to his hometown in the northeast to become a rich man or engage in farming and hunting. Although they have never operated a hoe, they still have the genes of a hunter in their bodies, and they will not starve to death. In the Manchu Dynasty, the Manchus were not allowed to leave Beijing casually, but now that the Manchus are gone, this article will naturally be invalidated.

Generally speaking, the affairs of the Manchurians have been basically dealt with. The entire Jingshi entered the stable dìng. Of course, there must be some people who did not recognize the form and wanted to revive the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Internal and external affairs and the military intelligence bureau have joined forces to start investigating, as long as they dare to make some changes, it is inevitable that people will fall to the ground at that time.

Liang Xingrong did not speak, as if he was quietly considering what Wang Yuze said. Wang Yuze was able to put all the money he collected from the Manchurians into the construction of the country, which made Liang Xingrong very pleased. At least, Wang Yuze did not use all this money on the development of armaments, so Wang Yuze's mind is still relatively clear. Of course, a stronger national development will in turn promote the development of armaments, and these two points are mutually reinforcing.

"I see, Yuze. I will pay more attention to this peace talks with Japan and strive to gain more benefits for China! Liang Xingrong said. He knew that since Wang Yuze had decided to invest most of the funds in national construction, he would definitely have to find another way to spend on military expenses. Cutting meat from Japanese people is undoubtedly the best way to do it. In addition, he also knows that now China and Japan have become mortal enemies, and there is absolutely no day of peaceful coexistence between you and me. It is better for the Japanese to die than for the Chinese to suffer! (To be continued.)
