ps: Look at the exclusive story behind "The Rising Sun of the Empire", listen to more of your suggestions for the novel, pay attention to the official account (add friends on WeChat - add the official account - enter dd), and quietly tell me!
"The overall situation I said earlier is the reason why the local governors can do things, one is that the power that was released back then is now wanted to be collected, and the court has the heart but is powerless, and the other is that the state bureau is like this, this foreign affairs still have to rely on the local governors, and the governor of the feudal territory can naturally do foreign affairs, and the governor of a province can also try his hand at it."
After saying so much in one breath, Li Guangguang said with a dry mouth, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, the sky outside seemed to be a little dark, only the eyes were still shining. The relationship between him and Tang Haoran is very important.
"Over the years, all the governors who have been valued by the imperial court have all been shown to be foreign affairs, and in this 3,000-year-old change, China wants to be strong, and it has to do foreign affairs! Here's your chance! ”
The teacup was steaming hot, and the fragrant aroma of tea instantly lingered in Tang Haoran's nose, but he didn't say to listen, just made a serious appearance, and heard him mention that this was his opportunity, so he responded.
"For them, I'm afraid all they want is a curtain friend!"
Isn't that where you are now?
Tang Haoran thought in his heart that after the incident in Hubei, he had already seen the truth of the so-called "curtain", but he was just an abandoned son who could be thrown away at any time, and he really wanted to rely on them to make things happen, and he was not delusional at all.
Not really...... Organize a revolutionary party, Lao Tzu also learns from Sun Cannon! Directly make a fucking anti! Thinking of the conversation with Wang Wu and Hu Qi that day, Hu Qi was a "thief" who had fallen into the grass, and on the border of North China alone, according to him, there were tens of thousands of "bandits" to "recruit".
"But, are you willing?"
Li Guangguang asked with a smile,
"Jie Qi told me, you are a person who does things, not an official, if you want to do things in the Qing Dynasty, you have to be an official first, only when you are a big official, can you do great things! Otherwise......"
"Otherwise, it's all empty talk."
Taking a sip of tea, the taste was warm, and Tang Haoran smiled at Li Guangguang.
Although Li Guangguang has not mentioned the main topic, he still feels that things have taken a turn for the better, at least Li Guangguang has the confidence to seek an opportunity for himself to go out and supervise the province.
"Therefore, if you want to do big things, you have to Fu a province, there are clouds in the officialdom in the past, you were not good in the past life, and you know the county in this life; In the previous life, he did evil, and the county was attached to Guo; If I look at it, I should add a sentence of the governor and the governor, if you want to be released, you have to let it go to other provinces, and you must not take care of a city with the governor. ”
"It's nature."
Facing Li Guangguang's gaze, Tang Haoran nodded, when he was in Hubei, he had seen how the governor of Hubei had become an ornament, but in comparison, the governor of Hunan was only a nominal "jurisdiction".
“…… You can say that your qualifications want to be the governor of a province, how easy is it to talk about it? Although it has long been a consensus to sell the official mantle now, if you were once the prefect of a party, there would indeed be people who would consider letting you out as the governor of a remote province for spending 100,000 taels of silver, as for now, ......"
"500,000 taels!"
Tang Haoran spit out this word, now, he can't take out so much money, but he believes that he can take out this money if he needs to.
"Not enough!"
Li Guangguang spit out these two words casually, now it is not a matter of silver.
"Hmm!"
Tang Haoran's eyes turned sharp, and his voice became cold and hard.
"How much does that need!"
Looking at the past from this angle, Li Guangguang saw Tang Haoran's fingers holding the teacup, and the knuckles were white because he was holding the cup too hard.
"As I said earlier, it's not a matter of silver now!"
"That'...... Please also teach me Brother Chongshan! ”
Tang Haoran looked at Li Guangguang and asked sincerely.
"It's not silver, if it's silver, there are still 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion, although coal is needed by the people and is very profitable, but your little silver, how can it be compared with any number of prefects? Some people donate tens of thousands of taels to officials, and tens of thousands of taels of people are just a county magistrate, and they can't ask for it, so how can it be a matter of silver? ”
"That?"
Although I don't know how difficult it is for others to seek officials, Song Yuxin's sixteen-year experience of supplementing officials still makes Tang Haoran understand that there are too many officials in these years, and it is not easy for him to get a "shortage" in the same literary hall now.
"Ziran, what are your advantages?"
Advantage?
His brows furrowed slightly, and Tang Haoran began to think about his advantages.
"What Brother Chongshan said is the name of Brother Zhiyang?"
"Knowing the ocean, knowing the ocean, this is your advantage! Since the book is not as good as others, you have to find another way to write on your strengths! ”
Picking up the teacup, Li Guangguang took a sip of tea and moistened his throat.
"Now, why is Weng Changshu even talking about foreign affairs, and it's just the emperor and queen party fighting,"
Although he was in the mountains and forests, Li Guangguang still learned about the movements of the imperial court through various channels, and the struggle between the emperor and the queen party, which had become a fire and water, was naturally in his attention.
"Now that the West has invaded with the strength of ships and artillery, there is not a little left of our face torn up in this heavenly court, even if the court is unwilling in every way, it also knows that if it wants to maintain the current avoidance, it must do foreign affairs, this foreign affairs is not so much the opinion of the people of insight in the government and the opposition, but the opinion forced by the foreigners, otherwise, how can the people ...... it."
Picking up the book of "Tai Xice" on the side, Li Guangguang smiled helplessly.
"How can you look at your "Tai Xi Ce", how can this "Tai Xi Ce" sell Luoyang paper expensive, Wei Moshen's "Atlas of the Sea Kingdom", how many people look at it? This is not under the coercion of the West for decades, the official eunuchs and gentry only knew that the power of the West was close at hand, and if they did not advocate foreign affairs, it would be difficult for him to survive in Japan, to put it bluntly, it was still forced by foreigners! The so-called internal worries are far less urgent than external troubles! So ......"
Li Guangguang's words paused, stared at Tang Haoran and said.
"Your advantage lies in knowing the foreign and being appreciated by the foreigners! This is beyond the reach of others, and this is your advantage! So since Ziran wants to release it, you have to find ways to make a big fuss about it! ”
"How do you do this?"
Tang Haoran leaned forward slightly, making a gesture of asking for advice, and his posture made Li Guangguang extremely satisfied, he picked up the teacup, took another sip of tea, and waited for a while before speaking slowly.
"Today's ocean-related provinces, there is no outer border, coast, and those along the border ......"
Li Guangguang did not directly answer Tang Haoran's questions, but explained the border and coastal provinces one by one, and then pointed out the foreign threats he faced little by little.
"In addition to the generals of the three northeastern provinces, stationed in Mongolia and Tibet, there are no other three provinces of Xinjiang, Guangxi and Yunnan, but the three provinces are located in remote inland areas, and they are by no means a place to become a big thing.
Subsequently, Li Guangguang denied provinces such as Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu.
"These places are all important places of the country, and they cannot be filled by non-cadres, so in the end, the rest of them are one of our country's vassal Korea, and the other is Taiwan in the southeast of the country!"
North Korea, Taiwan, when these two place names came out, Tang Haoran's eyebrows raised slightly, okay, it seems that he can't avoid these two places anyway, 4 years, there are only four years left!
"North Korea, although it is a vassal of our country, but in the past ten years, its country has been opened for all countries, Japan, Russia and even the United States all want to get involved in North Korea, North Korea also has the heart of getting rid of China and betraying China, and it is precisely because of this that Yuan Shikai will be promoted to the prime minister in North Korea because of fate, although there is no name of prime minister North Korea, but there is the fact of the prime minister's internal and external affairs of North Korea, and it can be used with full power, if it is discussed, the power of this prime minister is not inferior to the governor of a province, and even surpasses it!"
Listening to Li Guangguang talking about the benefits of the prime minister stationed in the DPRK, Tang Haoran couldn't help but think of the scenery of Premier Yuan Shikai in the DPRK in history.
However, behind this is a crisis, not to mention the heart of North Korea to "get rid of China and betray China", the threat of Japan and Russia alone has made Yuan Shikai can only barely maintain, and if he wants to succeed here, the complexity of foreign affairs is far from what you and I imagined! And it is inconvenient for him to act as a vassal, although he can act arbitrarily, but he has many concerns and has to be cautious! ”
Later generations have analyzed the situation in Korea at that time, not to mention that the competition between the Qing and Japanese countries in Korea has become increasingly fierce, and the DPRK has also been single-minded for a long time, not to mention, the "Tanabe" case has put Yuan Shikai, the prime minister in the DPRK, in a situation where there is no room for maneuver.
"What about Taiwan?"
"Taiwan is isolated overseas, the barrier is southeast, and it has been watched by outsiders for a long time, which is a concern for Taiwan, and the situation between Taiwan and the mainland is very different. Looking at Liu Mingchuan's foreign affairs in Taiwan, far more than the mainland, not only Taiwan's local customs are open, not to be conservative, but more importantly, in the eyes of the members of the imperial court, although Taiwan is China's land, but it is actually a foreign land, and since it is a foreign land, it is far less important than the inland provinces, so there is only Liu Mingchuan's foreign affairs such as railways and postal transmission, and there is almost no resistance, and he also enjoys the right to "take an island as the model of the whole country", so ......"
Li Guangguang stared at Tang Haoran and said in a calm tone.
"If Ziran wants to be released, he must fight for the post of governor of Taiwan, not only is Taiwan isolated overseas, and has been watched by outsiders for a long time, but more importantly, the courtiers despise Taiwan, which is full of "foreign soils", with Xinjiang and Taiwan successively established provinces, and Xinjiang has established a province with a salary of 3 million taels, and Taiwan's income is only 800,000 taels. ”
Governor Taiwan!
It is undeniable that Li Guangguang's words provoked the blood in Tang Haoran's chest, if he went out of Taiwan and spent four years in Taiwan, even if he could not prevent the fiasco of the First Sino-Japanese War after four years, he might still have a chance to keep Taiwan, even if Taiwan was ceded as in history, he could organize resistance in Taiwan, and then force Japan to withdraw its troops.
"But, Chongshan, now the governor of Taiwan ...... there"
Without waiting for Tang Haoran to finish speaking, Li Guangguang looked at Tang Haoran and said with a smile.
