Chapter 66: Yang Lie's Scheme!
Yang Lie is not afraid of the revenge of foreigners at all!
Yang Lie is very calm, the so-called foreigners' revenge is nothing more than two kinds, one is to conquer by force, that is, to send troops from the mainland or from the colonies to conquer.
At this point, Yang Lie is not afraid at all, and even wishes that foreigners would come to crusade by force, not that Yang Lie wants to provoke a war, nor does it mean that Yang Lie has a strong xenophobic mentality, and he has to slaughter the sun and destroy the rice in the second place, but to solidify the space-time wormhole for the ultimate goal.
To solidify the space-time wormhole, you must complete the ultimate task: no one in the world knows you. This "world" does not only refer to the Qing Dynasty, but also to be famous in all countries of the world. There are many ways to make a name for yourself in the world, including becoming a mathematician, a scientist, or even inventing penicillin to become a medical scientist, but these are not in the interests of China.
At present, the best way that is most in line with China's interests and can make a name for itself in the world in the shortest possible time is to make a name for itself in war.
The second way for foreigners to retaliate is to use diplomatic means to force our Qing Dynasty to put pressure on Yang Lie, and even the foreigners will hope that our Qing Dynasty will attack Yang Lie.
Yang Lie is even more afraid. This era, in my Qing Dynasty, was a worse era, and the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion were completely vulnerable, so they could only rely on local regimental training to encircle and suppress Yang Lie. At this time, the local regimental training, the Hunan army had declined, and Zeng Guofan, in order to express his heartfelt feelings to the Qing court, was stunned to dismantle a powerful Hunan army group.
The Huai army system, that is, the Beiyang system headed by Li Hongzhang, was the most powerful military combat system in the entire Qing Dynasty.
Throughout the history of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, it is actually the history of the Beiyang Group, the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the North-South Peace, the Yuan Emperor, the Battle of the Imperial Palace, the Huangpu Northern Expedition, the Central Plains War, the Wuchang Uprising, etc., most of them are civil wars of the Beiyang system, and even in World War II, the Beiyang system can be seen on the land of China.
For the Beiyang system headed by Li Hongzhang in the north, Yang Lie's response strategy was to promote peace with war. Why not fully occupy our Qing Dynasty, but to promote peace with Beiyang by war, or the same sentence: interests.
There is no problem in fully occupying our Qing Dynasty with Huaxia's military strength, but the problem is that this will consume a lot of manpower and material resources in Huaxia, which is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that it will consume a lot of Huaxia's time and Yang Lie's time.
Huaxia's goal is the multiverse, the sea of stars, and there are more planes that Yang Lie needs to explore, so colonization is the most in line with Huaxia's maximum interests.
If China wants to maximize its interests, it is necessary to support a stable and inseparable regime from China, which must be stable and enlightened, first of all, my Qing Dynasty was excluded by Yang Lie, not only because of personal emotional factors, but more importantly, my Qing Dynasty is a regime with Manchus as the ruling class, too self-contained, it is impossible to cooperate with Han people like Yang Lie, and it is not enlightened.
The Beiyang system headed by Li Hongzhang entered the sight of China, Li Hongzhang was enlightened enough, had a great world view, and was known as the Bismarck of the East; At the same time, he has a deeper understanding of the domestic social situation, and he has a deep-rooted power to quickly take over the power vacuum after my Qing Dynasty was killed.
This is simply a perfect partner to work with, the only drawback is that in history it seems that he is still relatively loyal to my Qing Dynasty, which Yang Lie also considers, and only needs a simple slashing tactic:
Bomb the Forbidden City!
It is enough to put the old and young remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty into a full pot, and at that time, Li Hongzhang will not be able to take over this power gap.
As for whether Li Hongzhang will cooperate with Huaxia and how to solve the problem of doing things that are not in the interests of Huaxia after cooperation, it is actually very simple.
This era is the stage of the frenzy of the European powers to carve up the world, and there have been such great changes in our Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang is bound to confront the great powers, not to mention the European gang, after all, the distance is relatively far, just talking about the Japanese country with the Qing Dynasty, it is eyeing the Qing Dynasty.
Li Hongzhang's Beiyang Naval Division is really not an opponent of the Japanese State. From an objective point of view, the Wakoku of this era can also be regarded as a thick accumulation, since the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, the Wakoku talent has developed in a blowout, such as Ito Hirobumi, Yama Prefecture Aritomo, Mutsu Munemitsu, Kuroda Kiyotaka, Matsukata Matsukata, Inoue Shin, Saigo Shomichi, Oyama Iwa, Katsura Taro, Saionji Kotomi and others, can be described as a moment of outstanding people.
Emperor Mingtai during this period was also very enlightened, similar to the Gou Jian of the Spring and Autumn Period of China and the Wu-Yue Struggle for Hegemony, and was a representative of the typical sleeper taste.
A.D. broke out the Qing-Japanese Nagasaki Incident. Our Beiyang Navy Division of the Great Qing Dynasty showed off its military might in Nagasaki, the Japanese State, not only did Dabaojian not give money, but also smashed the local police station, and finally used gunboats to force the Japanese authorities to apologize and pay a large amount of money.
The Nagasaki incident deeply pierced the fragile nerves of the Japanese people, especially Meiji's self-esteem. Meiji was determined to build a powerful navy and fight the Qing Dynasty.
The country was a small country, the country was weak and the people were poor, and the government could not come up with so much money, so Emperor Meiji donated his private property, announced that he would only eat one meal a day, and all the money saved was used to buy warships.
Led by the Meiji era, the Wakoku set off a craze for donations to buy warships. In order to raise money to buy warships, public officials throughout the country donated one-tenth of their salaries, and the imperial concubines of the Japanese Kingdom even sold their gold and silver jewelry, and even tens of thousands of Japanese women went to Nanyang to do business in exchange for foreign exchange to buy warships for the country.
I shudder to think about it......
At the same time that the whole country was pooling money to buy warships, Lafayette Cixi of the Qing Dynasty was spending a lot of money to build the Summer Palace, and it cost six million taels of silver to repair the Summer Palace alone, most of which was Norwegian naval military expenses. When the First Sino-Japanese Naval War began, the Empress Dowager Cixi ignored the war and celebrated her 60th birthday with great fanfare, and spent more than 10 million taels of silver on one birthday.
These two expenses add up to buy more than a dozen ironclad ships, how much is the Dingyuan ship? According to historical records, the cost of the Dingyuan ship was only 1.5 million taels of silver. A dozen ironclad ships are enough to fight the small Wa country, doubting life. It's a pity that although I have money in the Qing Dynasty, it has been ruined. Those who are backward will be beaten, and the losers will also be beaten!
In this way, how can you not be defeated?
There is a fiasco on the outside, and the high-level Qing Dynasty was killed by Yang Lie, in that case, the Beiyang system headed by Li Hongzhang has no other way than to cooperate with Yang Lie, unless he is willing to watch the whole country fall, at that time, Li Hongzhang has to cooperate if he does not cooperate, even if Li Hongzhang does not cooperate, the bigwigs of all parties in Beiyang under him may also force Lao Li to cooperate with Yang Lie, after all, how to say, Yang Lie is also a Han Chinese.
As for whether the Beiyang system will be out of the control of Huaxia in the future, Yang Lie said that he is not worried at all, in this era, all the bigwigs of the Beiyang system headed by Li Hongzhang are outstanding people, but the think tanks from the later generations of China are really not vegetarians, and it is easy to beat them, not to mention that the think tanks still have foresight, and the most important thing is that Huaxia, whether it is science and technology, military or people's livelihood, is an all-round and three-dimensional rolling Beiyang ......
These thoughts just turned in Yang Lie's mind, and Yang Lie paid attention to the things in front of him.
