Chapter 233: My Sea of Stars

In 1865, the fourth year of Tongzhi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The beginning of the story of me and the little emperor doesn't seem to be bad.

After that, the waves rose and I was complacent, and I fell on the biggest tendon since I crossed over.

An Dehai entered the slander, the Queen Mother was jealous, and I was deposed from the Hongde Palace.

The situation was so dangerous that I almost raised my army to cause chaos.

After calming down, I decided: endure.

I "gave in" at the cost of giving up Lui and sending her far away to Hong Kong.

Cixi thought she had finally subdued me.

Unfortunately, this is not true.

The truth is that I saw some things that I was confused with before, and my relationship with "her" began to change qualitatively.

Coming back to my senses, I gave An Dehai a fatal blow, and one of Cixi's most important eyes and ears was removed.

Storm.

I have obtained the support of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces for the construction of the railway, and the "two vertical and two horizontal" are about to come out.

Then, the money for the issuance of national bonds, the construction of railways, and the money for "buying out the age of the flag" were all available.

I picked up the leaks of the Italians from the British and bought two giant ships, the "King Umberto" and the "Durio", of which the "King Umberto" is the largest tonnage and most powerful sea monster in this era, and it is the nuclear weapon of this era.

Since there is a huge ship, it is necessary to set up a nest for it, so Lushun Military Port and Weihai Weijun Port were built.

It is not enough to buy such things as warships, and they must be built by themselves, so the "Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau" founded by Zuo Zongtang was "upgraded" on a large scale.

If there is a ship, there must be people on board, so the "Fujian Shipbuilding School" has entered the list of "upgrading".

I began to build my own navy in full.

Guangdong governor and Fu were not in harmony, I took the opportunity to get up and down, Guangdong Fu Jiang Yifeng was transferred to Gansu, Ding Shijie took his place, and my local forces began to go out of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and go to the whole country.

The outbreak of the Huangyashan teaching case and the performance of the officers and troops proved that the reorganization of the Green Battalion by the Xuan Army was very effective, and in addition to the "Central Army", I began to control the local troops.

The dispute between Japan's "Shogun" and "Shogun" was in full swing, and I pushed the imperial court, accepted the request of the shogunate, and sent troops across the sea to Japan to quell the rebellion.

I want to eliminate one of the biggest external problems on the road to China's modernization.

In Shanghai, China Merchants Steamship was established, and China's largest shipping and insurance company was born.

The megaship has arrived.

Along with the "King Umberto" and "Durio" were naval students returning from their studies, as well as a large British naval advisory group.

The construction of my navy has greatly accelerated the speed of navigation.

After that, the "King Umberto" and "Durio" were incorporated into the "Sino-US Combined Fleet" and set out for Japan.

Three months later, the Choshu Domain, the Japanese Imperial Court, and Emperor Meiji and his family were wiped out, and Japan's "progressive forces" were dealt a near-devastating blow.

I put Emperor Meiji's aunt and Prince Miyagi on the throne of the emperor, and then brought her back to China.

The emperor of Japan has become my puppet, and the Japanese government looks up to me and obeys my orders, and Japan's economic lifeline is firmly grasped by me, and Japan has become a de facto vassal state of China.

Of course, the threat from Japan has not been completely eradicated, and in the near future, I still have work to do on the Japanese side.

In addition to the female emperor, I also brought back to China a piece of land scraped from the Choshu Domain—10 million taels of silver.

Colonial plunder is indeed a very cool thing.

I entered the Dorobelle and enjoyed the treatment of the king of the county.

I took the initiative to restore the original money for the Beijing officials - Hong Yang was in turmoil, in order to raise military expenses, the court tightened their belts to live, and the Beijing officials took the "half money" for several years.

This move has greatly reduced the tone of criticism of the New Deal.

After that, I won a big victory in the "Great Railway Debate", and China began to run in small steps and entered the "Railway Age".

Under a good situation, the edict of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces in Tianjin military parade was issued.

Everyone knows what happened later: the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother "guarded the society", the Queen Mother "guarded the pastor", the Queen Mother stayed in Beijing, and I paraded in Tianjin in honor of the Queen Mother.

There are three direct gains from the Tianjin military parade:

First, Cixi made up her mind that the two princesses Rong'an and Dunrou, and Empress E's daughter-in-law, would "surrender" to me together.

second, to make Chinese the lingua franca; ethnic integration has become a basic national policy; Carry out a large-scale reform of academic affairs.

These are some of the proudest achievements I have made since I crossed over.

Third, the Xuan army was further expanded.

The indirect gains are also significant:

Cixi and I were not in Beijing, and King Gong took the opportunity to make trouble, but he went around with his co-conspirator Bao Jun, and affected King Gong.

As a result, the king was imprisoned; Bao Jun withdrew from the military aircraft; King Gong also had to step back from the position of "leading the plane with the leader".

The power of the "Gong system" has been seriously weakened.

I finally "led the plane alone".

Title, plus the title of prince of the county.

Also, during the military parade in Tianjin, my "South African Raiders" was officially launched.

Of course, the biggest gain may be that Cixi's trust in me and her feelings for me have been qualitatively improved, to an almost irreplaceable extent.

This year, I really became a father - Jacqueline, Mia, Yang Wan'er gave birth before and after, and Qingqing was also pregnant, hahaha!

However, this year, in that aspect, I was relatively "quiet" - just a big Puqing.

However, this woman doesn't seem to be my woman, right?

Hey.

In 1866, the fifth year of Tongzhi.

At the beginning of the year, the salt lord Zhang Liu caused a rebellion, which was quickly quelled by the Xuan army.

Liu Changyou, the governor of Zhili, blamed Yungui for the peace, and Zeng Guofan, the governor of Liangjiang, went to Jiangjiang to go straight, and the crucial position of governor of Liangjiang fell into my hands.

The British decided to return the artifacts of the Old Summer Palace, and the queen mother of the two palaces was very excited, and I used this merit to become the king of the county.

This promotion was somewhat unexpected by myself.

My student, the little emperor, became dissatisfied with me because my teacher "fished for three days and dried nets for two days".

Set up the "Xuanjun Disability Fund" to further "bind" Xuanjun.

In the structure of the advisory committee, a new stove of the "transfer department" was set up, and the officials were replaced, and the retired cadres of the Xuanjun army were directly sent to all parts of the country, and the prefectures and counties were occupied step by step - to grasp the grassroots political power.

Set up a banquet and kill Li Shizhong.

Taking this as a breakthrough, the salt industry was rectified on a large scale and the "eldest son of the empire" was established, the Jianghuai Salt Company.

Masajiro Omura was naturalized and renamed Ta Yongtoshi, and I entrusted him with the important task of building an army academy.

The new fleet was formed.

"Champion" and "Shotsheng", the two big brothers of ironclad ships, have a group of energetic partners: "armored cruiser", "dome cruiser", "full armor gunboat", "standard cruiser", "full armor gunboat"......

Among them, the "armored cruiser", "dome cruiser", and "all-armor gunboat" are designed and manufactured for China alone, according to my requirements, by the elite of Britain's own ship design and manufacture.

In the world, the size of this fleet can only be regarded as medium, however, it is the most technologically advanced and the most reasonable fleet!

China, Britain and the United States cooperated with the "Beijing Expo".

In the near future, the "Beijing Expo" will become a "window" for China to see the world and the world to see China, as well as a "gateway" for China to go to the world and the world to enter China.

The two princesses of Rong'an and Dunrou "surrendered" to the edict of Mingfa.

At the same time, the little emperor's accumulated dissatisfaction with me erupted over the dispute over the etiquette of the envoys of the four countries.

It was Xu Tong who provided "theoretical guidance" for the little emperor.

However, in all this, in the deep palace, someone ventilated for me.

I persuaded Bai to send Xiaoyun to go abroad, and China sent female students abroad for the first time.

I started with Xu Tong's son Xu Chengyu, forced Xu Tong to resign, and suffered a major blow to protect the defenders.

With the implementation of the "China-US Talent Exchange Plan", I will use Americans as the "supervisors" of China's economic construction.

I bought all the patented Gatling machine guns, completed the development, and went into mass production.

This secret weapon, which has not yet been made public, will be a killer weapon against the world's second largest power in the future.

Coercion and lure Peng Yulin, and in the end, a deal was successfully reached, and the only remaining core force of the "Hunan system", the Yangtze River Naval Division, was overturned and dismembered.

At this point, the local armed forces can no longer pose any substantive challenge or threat to the central government, and to me at the same time.

instructed Hu Xueyan to open a new silk reeling factory.

Hosted by Libin, it develops real estate on a large scale in Shanghai in a modern model.

Austro-Prussia is fighting, and I support Prussia in a high-profile manner.

After the defeat of Austria and Austria, I issued a peace proposal, and then accepted the invitation of the countries concerned, together with the French Emperor Napoleon III, as a mediator, to bring Austria and Prussia to a more just peace treaty.

The whole world has shaken, and China's international status has been greatly improved.

I have added the title of prince to the merit of "exalting the prestige of all nations".

The victory of Jinjibao was the most crucial battle to quell the rebellion in Gansu.

Subsequently, the edict Ming Fa, which designated Chinese as the lingua franca, was overwhelmingly supported by the Han gentry represented by Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang and other local governors.

My position has been further strengthened.

The civil strife in Tibet has spread to the Sichuan-Tibet border.

The Xuan army entered Sichuan, advanced to the Tibetan border, and under strong pressure, the Tibetan area of Sichuan accepted a thorough "land reform and return to the stream".

At the same time, a new bureaucratic system has been implemented in Tibet, and to a considerable extent, the central government has directly grasped the administrative power of Tibet, and the central government's control over Tibet has been greatly strengthened.

By the way, I also took this opportunity to bring the young 12th Dalai Lama to Beijing.

I "stabilized the Sichuan Tibetan merit", Prince Jinjue.

After becoming a prince, my first "moral policy" was to abolish the eunuch reprimand system, so that the ministers no longer had to be scolded by eunuchs, and the scholars sang praises of virtue.

However, the next thing I did was controversial among the readers.

In the name of "restoring the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties", I reformed the imperial examination.

Its essence is to reduce the weight of the useless "current affairs" - the eight strands of writing, and increase the weight of the "current affairs" that meet the needs of the times - "the old system of the Tang and Song dynasties" and "current affairs policies".

"Current Affairs" is naturally a disguise, I think it is a basket, and mathematics, physics and chemistry are all put into it.

In addition, through the restoration of the "current affairs policy", the "current affairs discipline" was dispatched to states and counties across the country, which led to the creation of modern schools throughout China.

To this end, a "Normal Hall" was set up to train "current affairs training".

Then, I got married.

Empress E, the two Gulun princesses "surrendered" a prince, and the scene was very prosperous.

After the marriage, all 360 "princess dowry" were auctioned.

Accidentally, the auction yielded a miracle: excluding the various fees for the auction, the take-home price was 3,556,300 taels of silver.

I divided the money into two parts, of which 2,500,000 taels were used as the "official capital" of the clan bank; The remaining 100,000 taels were used as expenses for the establishment of the "Normal Hall."

The clan and the scholars are all singing praises of virtue.

If you have objections to my "restoration of the old Tang and Song systems", it is not good to say anything more.

My diamond mine in South Africa began to "ship" in an endless stream.

I contributed money for the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to invest in the clan bank.

Since the Empress Dowager "took the lead in setting an example", the clans had no choice but to follow suit, and the clan bank quickly raised the other half of the share capital and officially announced its establishment.

Suzhou was restored, and Gansu was peaceful.

King Gong, who has long been set aside, officially "retired to the domain", and the court has become my "Guan Tianxia".

Another plan I had been planning for a long time finally worked: Cixi became pregnant with my child.

Soon, the Empress Dowager announced that she would go to Tianjin to "pray for a retreat" for Emperor Wen Zongxian.

The Queen Mother found out about me and her sister's secret, and I had to, uh, take this sister in.

At this point, my woman, "my woman" in the true sense of the word, has increased to the eighth place.
