Sun Yuwen is a hardcore rear party, and he sees the general trend of the world more clearly than a group of clear streams.

Yang Hao's wolf ambition is definitely right, he wants to dig up the roots of the Great Qing Kingdom, and he can also see the clues, but how to clean him up needs to be considered in the long run.

Qingliu, who are accustomed to playing tricks and stabbing Lou Zi, will only make a big deal worse if they come up with an idea, and if they force Yang Hao's new army against them, Liaodong will inevitably become a pot of rotten porridge. At that time, don't expect Li Hongzhang to clean up the mess again, with the powerful force of the new army, it will be easy to pluck their ancestral graves. Who can stand the result?

What's worse is that now that the north is icy and snowy, the foreigners' ships don't come to Tianjin, but Yang's two big ships don't seem to be afraid of the thin ice on the Bohai Sea, and they can dock freely. If this forces them back, it is really not certain who will suffer in the end.

In the final analysis, it was the Qing court's current military strength that was too bad to fight. Tianjin is so close, if he is not fully prepared, Yang Hao only needs to drive out the men and horses in his concession to seize the Dagu Fort, and then wait for tens of thousands of new troops to destroy the withered and decaying Beijing Division.

Li Hongzao's gang just lit the fire, no matter whose house they burned. Fortunately, Emperor Guangxu is not a fool, and after being reminded by Sun Yuwen, his brain immediately calmed down a lot, but he hated it even more and almost went crazy!

Impatiently turning back and forth many times, he waved his fist and shouted: "The imperial court must speed up the formation and training of the new army!" Without a new army, there can be no national stability. I don't want to bow down to the small state of Japan and beg for peace, just let that Yang Hao fight, it's best that he can beat the Japanese out of Liaodong and Goryeo! Ladies and gentlemen, how can we update the country's military strength as soon as possible? Is there a solution? ”

A group of old ministers looked at each other. Li Hongzao gritted his teeth. stepped forward and said: "The minister asks the saint to decree and change the law to be strong!" ”

Another emperor, Sun Jianai, stepped forward to second: "Only by changing the law and improving oneself can we punish the stubborn internally and the strong outside." The minister seconded the proposal! ”

Wang Wenshao, who returned to Beijing to replace Li Hongzhang as Minister of Beiyang, respectfully asked: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Wen Ting, a scholar, stepped forward: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

"The minister seconded ......!"

In the main hall, there was an unexpected appropriation. Even Sun Yuwen, the most worried post-party die-hard, actually did not say a word and did not object!

Emperor Guangxu felt a sense of joy that he had never felt since he ascended the throne, once upon a time. The court can also be so united!

For a while, the dragon face was happy, and the case applauded: "Good! With such a concerted effort by the monarchs and ministers, it is inevitable that the Qing Dynasty will open a prosperous era again and exalt its prestige over the great powers! Ladies and gentlemen, please be sure to draw up a charter as much as possible. ”

With pressure and threats, the infighting Qing court bureaucrats could not care about anything else, and after returning home, they gathered people to work hard. It didn't take long to draw up four basic principles: "One is to edict the spirit of the world; Second, it is said that moving the capital is the foundation of the world; The third is to train the army to strengthen the world's momentum, and the fourth is to change the law into the rule of the world. ”

Among them, military training is the most important. Before anything else was discussed. Guangxu Ming issued an edict ordering the governors of all provinces to take immediate action. Referring to the Western method to organize and train the new army, the establishment of the military academy and other institutions, and take advantage of the favorable time of winter to act quickly. Strive to come up with a decent force in the spring of the coming year.

At this time, in order to fight with Japan, the imperial court made a lot of military salaries, and the finances were not so tight, and there was no constraint from the Empress Dowager Cixi, so it hurriedly asked all provinces to deal with it.

In Tianjin, which was close at hand, the movements that were still grinding immediately accelerated, and Rong Lu, the secretary of the military department and commander of the infantry army, headed the military affairs and presided over the military training. Among them, a character who had been ignored by many people before quietly surfaced, it was Yuan Shikai who was blackened and blackened by Yang Hao.

I don't know when, Lao Yuan spent a lot of money to get through Ronglu's door, and actually changed the door quietly.

Not long after that, Guangxu Ming issued the "Edict", which was sent to the newspaper and the 400 li urgently, announcing to the world: "The way to seek treatment from the beginning must be adapted to the conditions of the time, and when the state affairs are difficult, we should especially work together to improve ourselves and make up for disasters." We should be diligent and diligent, punish the past and punish the latter, but only to eliminate accumulated habits and practice practical government first. According to the current affairs of the Chinese and foreign ministers, the detailed review is carried out, and the implementation is selected, such as building railways, minting money, building machines, opening mines, folding Nancao, reducing the number of troops, creating postal services, training the army, reorganizing the navy, and establishing schools...... The generals and governors have been deeply gracious, have a conscience, and do not forgive to fear difficulties and peace, and empty words and blame. ”

As soon as this "Edict" came out, the world was in an uproar.

Most of the thousands of people in the Beijing and Tianjin areas who were waiting to participate in the scientific expedition cheered and wrote to praise the young emperor's wisdom and wisdom.

They have baptized Yang Hao's thoughts very radically in the past six months, and they usually gather to discuss how to change the country and strive to be strong, but no matter how much they say, it is impossible to affect the imperial court.

Now, the imperial court has actually taken the first action, and the emperor himself is even more conscious, which shows that the prosperity they expect is strong and coming!

Kang Youwei's disciple Liang Qichao, although he couldn't find the teacher, he didn't delay him from adhering to the teacher's order to run in many ways, contacting students everywhere to prepare for the change. At this time, when I saw the emperor's edict, I was excited and painful, and I praised at the party: "How fortunate our generation is to be born in today's world, and to meet the holy lord of the Ming Dynasty, this is a great opportunity to open up the world and the earth, and all the monarchs should work together to participate in ......the grand event." ”

The cheers and applause quickly spread from Beijing and Tianjin to the whole country for a time, and attracted praise and support from countless people. Not only were the support of the governors of the provinces piled up on the emperor's desk, but more than 1,000 people signed a joint letter.

Of course, no matter what plane you are in, there will definitely be no Kang Youwei here. In this world, this shameless thing brazenly claimed that the "Book on the Bus" was organized by him, and now there is no chance of counterfeiting. However, Liang Qichao is mixed in, and it is indeed a thing.

Such an earth-shattering move, from the emperor's exertion to the edict, only a few days before and after. When the Japanese army captured Haicheng, the Qing army failed in its first counterattack, so it had to let the new army go north to help.

At this time, Yang Hao blackmailed the foreign powers to lead the other party to counterattack, and the news that the Russians were making trouble and adding fuel to the fire has spread wildly.

The Yang clan openly gathered countless officials and businessmen to sell weapons to the foreign powers in exchange for industrial equipment and technical personnel. Ordinary people can't tell whether this is right or not. But they all know a little. The Qing court could never tolerate such a powerful and alien existence. Wait for Yang's new army to defeat the Japanese army. Or suffer heavy losses in battle, just wait to unload the mill and kill the donkey.

Yang Hao naturally couldn't be caught with his hands tied, and he couldn't endure it until now without going crazy, but it was just because the Japanese army didn't go abroad, and he couldn't break the rules he set. When the Sino-Japanese war ends, it is estimated that you will have to try to see the dagger, and at that time, you may have to play out the dog's brain!

The imperial court, which was not favored before, proposed to train a new army in the "Edict". The governors of all provinces across the country responded together, and the total number of troops trained by the outside world will inevitably exceed 100,000. As a result, the wind direction immediately changed, and many people began to worry about Yang Hao.

At the end of the day, the Forces nouvelles have so far numbered only 10,000 men. Can you fight again, and meet an opponent with the same equipment ten times as much, can you still have a good one? The U.S. Concession, which is particularly capable of resisting, may be blown apart with a single cannon at that time, and I don't know how it will be in the future, the world will definitely be in chaos!

You come and go, and every aspect is racing against time.

The foreign devils of the great powers also knew Yang Hao's sinister intentions. Nothing was given to them in the same way, and at first they were still using delaying tactics. plans to wait for this guy to be cornered by the Qing court, and then fall into the well.

But in the past few days, a battleship that has never been seen before suddenly appeared in the sequence of the Yang family's navy!

The "Weihai-class" frigate, a gunboat with a standard displacement of only 1150 tons, looks very inconspicuous with four 127mm single-barreled rapid-fire guns.

But this gunboat, which openly haunted the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, became the flagship of the previous ten 200-ton torpedo boats, and it was the first gunboat in the real sense!

Under the prying eyes of the navies of various countries, this slender and graceful battleship easily ran at a speed of more than 25 knots faster than that of torpedo boats, which made them stunned! The accurate sea target rapid fire made all their warships feel completely unsafe!

At the beginning, how powerful the artillery of the two armed freighters "Dongming" and "Dongsheng" was, they all knew about Menqing from the Japanese army. Now there are as many as four battleships, and with such speed, it is not difficult to clean up these old guys with weak armor at all!

The shock was not only that, since the appearance of this warship, the attack and harassment of the Japanese naval ships has changed from darkness to light, and the ships led by the "Izumi" have not been disturbed without stopping. Not only did they dare not approach the northern part of the Bohai Sea anymore, but even the coast of Goryeo became no longer safe. The logistical support for the Japanese army in Liaodong is in an unprecedented predicament!

At this time, all the countries also confirmed that Yang Hao was not drumming arms on any of their territory at all. So many people began to wonder if this guy had come out of some remote archipelago, and Rizhao was just his first forward base?

In any case, they all realized a serious problem, and the Qing court's chances of victory against Yang Hao would quickly decrease by several percent.

From the information they gathered, it can be seen that a Rizhao shipbuilding alone can not only repair 10,000-ton ships, but also manufacture small civilian ships at a speed that is as high as dumplings. A gunboat of more than 1,000 tons is estimated to be a cycle of only a few months, who knows if he has only one, or if he has started a bunch of them all at once?

I'm afraid it's a bunch of possibilities that account for the majority!

The ministers of various countries had a hunch that once a group of such new ships appeared, the Beiyang Navy might be surnamed Yang. When the time comes, with the addition of two powerful ironclad ships after refit, Yang's coastal defense will be uncontrollable!

However, several countries that intended to cooperate tacitly blocked the news and did not tell the Russians. Britain first signed a preliminary cooperation agreement with Yang Hao in January before the end of the First Sino-Japanese Year, and then France, Germany, and the United States also signed contracts one after another.

They did not suffer too much, and immediately obtained a batch of advanced equipment to enhance their military strength, and in addition, they could obtain patent licenses for those guns, bullets, and artillery, and buy them out at one time. They don't have to pay Yang Hao too much money - neither do their paper bills.

Countries only need to take out one-third of the gold, and replace the rest with various factory equipment, hired personnel, and raw materials such as bulk coal, oil, iron ore, and cotton. In fact, it has also solved a lot of employment difficulties for countries that are still affected by the financial crisis.

After the news was announced, the Qing court was ready to put a hat on Yang Hao's head, but when he saw the name of the signing agency, he tilted his nose! (To be continued......)
