Since the last time the old comrades were arranged to take the airship, Yang Shoujing, who was teaching at the Dashang Affiliated School or visiting the library on weekdays, suddenly came to Wang Yi, saying that he wanted to give him an airship. Wang Yi thought that this person was nervous, but later learned that he had figured out how to take pictures of the airship to make a fine map.

Wang Yi wondered, although Yang Shoujing studied geography, it didn't seem to be this research direction! I have the impression that he should be a person who plays history and geography, why did he even play precision maps?

But since he's going to play, let's play. Four people were transferred from the Air Force, and a few people were found from the industrial room, and they set up a special team, and later Tu Xiaohua and Wu Xiao sent people to participate, and then specially transformed a pit viper airship, which was equipped with the most advanced optical photography and measurement equipment of Dashang Optics, as for whether it can be used or not, what improvements are needed, it is not something that Wang Yi is willing to worry about.

After talking about the Korean issue that day, the others left, and Shen Yazhi took Wang Yi to the studio. The girl learned oil painting, and Wang Yi became a model. When the girl draws, he looks at the materials in his hand. This is a series of recent developments in Japan by Dashang Consulting, and he does not know much about the history of Japan during this period, and even knows less than North Korea. There are only a few people who can really name him. As for the domestic situation in Japan, it is completely blank.

In 1881, when the Meiji Sanjeshi Saigo Takamori, Kido Takayoshi, and Okubo Ritsu died one after another, there were two factions in Japan. One faction was the feudal government formed by Secretary of the Interior Hirobumi Ito, the Satsuma and Choshu domains, and the Imperial Ministers. The other faction is the liberal civil rights faction, which is divided into two parties. The First Party was the Liberal Party, which was founded in 1881 by Itagaki Retirement. The other party was the Constitutional Improvement Party, which was founded in 1882 by Shigenobu Okuma. Although they are of the same faction, there is not harmony between the two parties. Among them, Shigenobu Okuma is very famous, but in the Meiji 14 coup d'état, he was ostracized by Ito Hirobumi, and since then Ito has also become the number one person in Japanese politics.

In February 1881, the Japanese government sent Ito Hirobumi as a mission to Europe to inspect constitutionalism, and he compared the constitutions of Britain, France, and Germany, and held that the British constitution "has the throne but has no right to rule" and "does not conform to our national system"; However, "although the German government adopts public opinion, it has the right of independence", "the monarch personally holds the legislative and executive powers, and no laws can be implemented without the permission of the monarch", "it can be seen that the state is the monarch, and the monarch is the state". The German Constitution is highly respected and considered to be suitable for Japan's national conditions.

At the moment he has not returned in Europe, and it is clear that everyone in Japan is waiting for his return, because a new political system will be established in Japan.

"The Japanese are really working hard! No matter how much trouble you make, it's much more reliable than the Qing Dynasty. Wang Yi shook his head secretly.

Of course, an oil painting can't be made overnight, but no matter how blind Wang is, he can't see that Shen Yatou is painting herself. But he still wisely praised the girl for her good drawing, otherwise there would have been no peace today.

At the beginning of June, Shengjing General Chongqi came to Yingkou, and he was accompanied by Zuo Guigui. Last time, Jilin General Ming'an's arrangement for Dashang, even with the Empress Dowager's edict. Chongqi still maintained neutrality, and Zuo Guigui did not participate in it, because they knew the strength of the insurance team and did not dare to act rashly.

Speaking of the tax revenue from Fengtian since the establishment of the big business, Mukden's tax revenue has doubled, coupled with the continuous arrival of immigrants from Shandong, Zhili, Shanxi and other places. In 1881, the population reached the level of 10 million for the first time, and it is believed that in the next three to five years, the population could easily reach 20 million, or even more.

"Are you two okay?" Wang Yi is still polite, but now he always keeps a certain distance from the Qing officials.

Chongqi and Zuo Guigui looked at each other, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts.

"Chairman, your body is completely recovered?" Zuo asked preciously.

Wang Yi nodded with a smile and said, "You two bother, please sit down, I don't know what advice you have for coming this time?" ”

Chongqi smiled and said: "That's the case, I heard that Dashang opened the Dashang Army Military Academy and the Dashang Navy Military Academy, and the imperial court means that it hopes to send personnel to study." ”

Wang Yi smiled and said, "Yes, I don't know how many people to send in?" ”

"Sixty in the Army, thirty in the Navy!" Chongqi said: "Of course, we will pay for the tuition...... One qiē is charged according to the normal student fee. ”

"This is easy to do, but the entry of our two schools is very strict, and it has nothing to do with identity, in the words of our big businessmen, it is a mule or a horse to come out and slip!"

"Of course it's the best!" Chongqi twisted his beard and smiled.

"There is also a military academy with strict military discipline, and it is forbidden to drink prostitution, gambling and smoking, once it is violated, the end will not be too good."

"Yes!"

"The school itself has grade requirements, once you can't meet the standards, you will repeat it in the second year, and if you still can't pass the assessment in the second year, you will be directly dissuaded!" Wang Yi looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Is it okay?" ”

"This ......"

"Don't worry, the instructors of my big business have always treated everyone equally, and everyone is the same abuse."

"If so, yes!"

"Finally, the insurance team members of my big business will inevitably go to various battlefields to perform tasks before graduation, and many of them will be in danger of life......"

"If you are a soldier, you have to be afraid of death, what is the use of keeping it!" Zuo Guigui's face was not very good, and he felt that Wang Yi was a little underestimated.

"Yikes!" Wang Yi poured a cup of tea for Zuo Guigui and said: "Lord Zuo is angry, we are villains first and then gentlemen, so if there is a problem in the future, it will be troublesome to solve it." ”

"As it should be!" Chongqi became a peacemaker.

It is probably also to see the benefits of the big merchant insurance team in the military system, and in the end, the quota of these 90 people was divided between Nanyang and Beiyang and the central government. Among them, Beiyang has the largest number of people, with 30 people in the army and 18 people in the navy. And Nanyang is 21 people in the army and 12 people in the navy. The Central Committee is the selected children of the Eight Banners, and because it does not have a navy, there are only nine places in the army.

These people, whether they are Nanbeiyang or Central Eight Banner officers, are very recognizable in the two schools, because they are the only ones who still have braids.

However, there are not many of these people who can actually complete their studies, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to describe them as rare. The reason is simple, because their foundation is too poor. Whether it is a student from a school affiliated to Dashang, or a high-achieving student selected from the insurance team. The percentage of students who can enter the land and sea schools is very small, which shows that the competition is fierce.

Later, the bigwigs of the Qing court discussed with Wang Yiyi one by one, and before these students entered the two military academies, they had to go through three to five years of training, and then participate in the unified examination of the big merchants, and only those who passed could enter the academy.

In this way, the situation is much better. Out of 90 people, 30 people were finally able to graduate normally!

Irkutsk is located in the southern part of the Irkutsk Oblast on the Central Siberian Plateau, west of Lake Baikal. It is adjacent to Mongolia to the south. It covers an area of 767,900 square kilometers. The city of Irkutsk is the second largest city in Eastern Siberia, located at the southern end of Lake Berga, at the confluence of the Angara and Irkutsk rivers. It has a continental climate and a long period of severe cold.

To tell the truth, the vicinity of Irkutsk is very rich in resources, which makes Wang Yi greedy.

Skobelev had just finished inspecting the army, and it was already dark. Back in his room, he sat down at his desk and remembered last year's war.

"The Army of the Northeast Republic has very advanced weapons and equipment, their rifles, carbines, repeater guns, artillery, far beyond the current level of equipment of the Empire. Although the level of training of their soldiers needs to be improved, after last year's war and the winter training, I don't know if the troops in my hands can still be as comfortable as last year. In general, although we did not lose the war last year, we did not achieve the slightest result. The Northeast Republican Army had a very strong defensive line along the Gelbizi and Ergun rivers, relying on fortresses and long-range artillery fire support, even in the face of the regular imperial army. I even think that even if we double our military strength, the result will not change in the slightest......"

Skobelev fell into deep thought, and the quill pen he was carrying hung in the air.

The night was deep, and in Irkusko, there was no spring in sight, and the wind outside the house was fierce, as cold as people's hearts.

Suddenly hearing a knock on the door, Skobelev was startled, and immediately leaned back in his chair, put down the pen in his hand, and said, "Please come in." ”

The adjutant walked in and said, "General, I just got the news that the Navy of the Northeast Republic has attacked the cities on the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk in our country, including Kekra, Uria, Okhotsk. Our ambassador to China, Buze, came forward to dissuade him, but they refused to listen! ”

Skobylev looked at the map, shook his head, and said in his heart: "Trouble for the empire is coming!" ”

In 1882, the doors of Korea finally opened again, and under the joint operation of Britain and the United States, Korea finally agreed to sign a trade agreement with them. However, due to the intervention of the big merchants, North Korea retained its own fiscal and tax rights, but it was still in the hands of the big merchants.

Following the example of the "Westernization Movement" of the Qing Dynasty, the Min Concubine Group set up a yamen to manage the affairs of the Qing Dynasty, and sent delegations to the Qing Dynasty and Japan to visit Wèn. In 1881, a new type of army, the Beiji Army, was created under the command of Min Yongyi, the nephew of Concubine Min, and the Japanese were hired as instructors, and the great merchants did not say much on this issue.

Therefore, the size of the old-style army was reduced, and the five battalions of the Beijing army (training capital prison, janissary battalion, dragon and tiger battalion, general rong battalion, and imperial battalion) were reduced to the armed guard battalion and the strong imperial battalion, and more than half of the old-style soldiers were forced to disarm. This had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the old-style soldiers, and the soldiers of the downsized Wuwei Battalion and the Zhuangyu Battalion were not treated well, because of the military judgment and Xuanhui Hall Shangguan Min Qianhao deducted military salaries and filled their own pockets, coupled with years of drought and predatory trade in various countries, the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion and the Zhuangyu Battalion had not received military pay for 13 consecutive months. At the same time, the equipment and treatment of the special technical army were much higher than that of the old army, and the Japanese served as instructors, which aroused extreme disgust among the old soldiers, who disparaged it as "Japanese special skills". There was an atmosphere of resentment in the Wuwei Camp and the Zhuang Imperial Camp.
