Outer Mongolia is Uriya Sutai and Beihai, Beihai has set up a province, but Uriya Sutai has not set up administrative institutions, but military positions such as commanders and generals have been set up in various places, the original Uriya Sutai ministers continue to be retained, but there is another Outer Mongolian governor on Uriya Sutai and Beihai Province, and another governor is set up in Inner Mongolia, so that basically the military officials can be put down, and the direct reason is that after the Sino-French War, many meritorious officers need to be resettled after retirement, In addition to the local police station, county lieutenant and other officials belong to the administrative system, the rest are arranged to be trained in local regiments, or to enter the Fengtai battalion or the military department to serve, the soldiers are good to say, in front of the police is the best job, but the officers with grades can not be ordinary policemen without grades, but these places mentioned above are a turnip and a pit, and many people cannot be arranged, so they have to take these places in the northwest or northern Xinjiang to arrange officers, these places are naturally not inferior to inland provinces, but the victory is in a high grade, but it can be regarded as making up for it, this is just a way to solve the non-commissioned officer, and there are other methods, but it has nothing to do with this matter, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Although the governor has not been set up, but the guerrilla generals or admirals under the two Mongolians, as well as the commanders of the commanders, have been arranged, the military department has selected people, Erle and Bu took out the fold, Li Lianying took it, handed the fold to the Empress Dowager Cixi, the Empress Dowager Cixi opened it and looked at it roughly, the original official rank on it, and the proposed position looked at it, not only the two Mongolian officials, but also some appointments from Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Northeast and other places, she nodded and handed it to Li Lianying, Li Lianying then gave the excerpt to Emperor Guangxu, "Emperor, you can also take a look," Empress Dowager Cixi said, "If you don't have any opinions, let it be clear." ”

"The son has no objections, everything is at the behest of his father." Emperor Guangxu turned his face sideways and said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, you take a look first, and then if you have any questions, let Rong Lu tell you," said the Empress Dowager Cixi, "Let's see a few days before sending it." ”

"Yes."

Sun Yuwen came again to play the candidate for the envoy to Germany to participate in the Berlin Conference, and drafted Zeng Jize, Zeng Jize was the eldest son of Zeng Guofan, and was also a well-known diplomat at that time, and in the past he negotiated the issue of the ownership of the North Sea in Ili, which he presided over during his tenure as ambassador in St. Petersburg, and later served as ambassador to Britain, coordinating the purchase of warships, and his talents were very good, such as the deployment of consuls abroad, where to set up, where to delay, and where not to serve, and he was ready to suggest to the prime minister's yamen on matters of various countries, and almost the diplomatic system was created by him. The means of telegraph communication between foreign ministers and the country have also been improved. He enjoys a reputation in the diplomatic circles, and is as famous as Guo Songtao, and is also known as "Guo Zeng" at the time.

The important thing is that he is still young, now less than fifty, just when he is in the prime of life, you must know that Guo Songtao is already in his seventies, and the Empress Dowager Cixi originally intended him to succeed him as the official in charge of foreign affairs after Guo Songtao, this opportunity can be used to increase the thickness of his resume, and the Berlin Conference is a very important meeting, which is related to the overall situation and cannot be missed.

"The Kaiser's letter is very clear, this is a meeting of countries seeking rights in Africa, so naturally, we can't watch the countries go into battle dryly, let's watch the drama on the side, the victory over France in the past is enough to prove that our Qing Dynasty can participate in the worldwide competition, so this time, we must be cautious and cautious, Zeng Jize can take office, since he went to talk with the foreign ministers of various countries, or said to fight at the negotiating table, the official position is low and not good-looking, what is this official now? The British and French members of the foreign army also serve as the chamberlain of the Imperial Court? It's too low, add the Prime Minister's Yamen to co-organize the minister, and send the envoy to Germany. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi decreed, "When I go abroad in a few days, let Guo Songtao and Zeng Jize hand over the sign together, and then I will have to say something face-to-face." ”

"Huh."

The Berlin Conference was originally to be held after the Sino-French War, but in this space I don't know why it has been delayed until now, the Empress Dowager Cixi analyzed, about the power of Europe has changed, France that originally won the Sino-French War put its strategic focus on overseas, Germany is under pressure from France in Europe is now greater, he has to deal with the challenge of France in European affairs first, so there is no time to get involved in African affairs, obviously now can make decisions on African affairs, Germany must also establish its reputation in international affairs by doing the same thing as Britain hosted the World Expo, and declare in a way that it must have a say in world affairs and that it must have its own interests in the relevant colonies. The Empress Dowager Cixi agrees with this very much, because China and Germany, to say something unkind, are by stepping on the face of the French, and both need to speak out on international interests, so naturally, they ask each country to give themselves a piece of the pie.

Another problem, about the changes in the Boer War affected the overall layout of Britain, the second Boer War did not end as quickly as the first war, the Boers did not know where the motivation and funds came from, they could provide a steady stream of military equipment and British colonial troops to continue the war, this war has been maintained intermittently for seven or eight years, which is in any place, opposite the world's most powerful Britain, such a long war is impossible to happen, but it happened, What is the reason for this, Germany and Cixi are well aware that the Boers must have discovered gold mines, and used gold mines to make some kind of ulterior transactions with Germany's nearby colonies in southeast Africa, whereby the British also suspended his strategic policy in Africa, and the strategy of the "two Cs" from Cape Town to Cairo, and through North Africa and South Africa was forced to get stuck in the Boer region, but the British were not stupid, from the origin of the manufacture of ordnance, and the Germanic officers who haunted the Boer army, It is easy to speculate that this matter must have something to do with Germany, after all, the Dutch, the ancestors of the Boers, are now dead crabs, so the British must also seek a compromise with the Germans on a suitable occasion, exchange what benefits, let the Germans let go, and stop bothering the Boers. Both major powers need this conference, so naturally this conference will be held, and of course the direct incentive to hold the Berlin conference is not only these. (To be continued.) )
