Volume E Chapter XVI Bonds

When Yang Rui said this, he had some general ideas about some things in his mind, especially the military power, which could be completely determined in the name of the Taiwei Mansion on the grounds that the party commanded the gun, and finally firmly controlled it in his own hands. If this is the case, then the General Staff will be the Privy Council, the General Logistics will be the Transit Yuan, and then there will be the General Political Department. Finally, there is the military intelligence force, which is also to be expanded, not only to detect intelligence in its own country, but also to pay attention to intelligence around the world; There is also the special branch side, which will also be expanded, and the domestic side can be handed over to the special branch in the future, and the military intelligence bureau will focus on foreign countries; Then there are the business intelligence structures that are now in Nanyang, the United States, and Europe, which can be completely independent and placed under the Ministry of Commerce.

The nine ministries under the Prime Minister's Mansion are still not enough, the Ministry of Communications must have, the Ministry of Land and Resources also has, and environmental protection is also extremely important. There are a lot of officials, and it is impossible for the Revival Society to take all of these positions, and they always have to be given to outsiders.

If the structure of government is determined in this way, then the Congress will have to find a way to control it. Half of the parliamentarians used by the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not get the parliament done, and they came up with a lot of bills that embarrassed Guangxu and the Manchu Qing, so since they had to open the parliament, they must have a sound strategy. The basic base of the Renaissance Society is tenants in the countryside, and there are also industrialists and merchants, the former will benefit from land reform, and the latter will benefit from industrialization. Only those landlords who make a profit from renting out their land will hate revival to the core. However, the number of tenants in rural areas is half of the total number of households in the village, and the number of people accounts for half of the entire rural population. As for the remaining 40 percent of the yeoman farmers, they also support the Renaissance Society, abolishing the excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and the agricultural assistance policy. In this way, more than 90 percent of the entire rural population is in the hands of the people, which means that more than 80 percent of the country's population supports the Renaissance Association.

With such a foundation, it is absolutely impossible for the Congress, which is decided by the number of people, to be in control. At present, the Manchu Qing Dynasty determined the qualifications of electors based on property, education, and status. The Renaissance Council will remove such a rule and determine the proportion of members of the Diet according to the number of people employed in agriculture, industry, and commerce, so that more than 80 percent of the seats will be owned by farmers. This also achieves the goal of overthrowing Congress. As for whether the mud-legged parliamentarians can speak and write, it is not a question at all, as long as they can raise their hands and applaud. Yang Rui thought of the parliament from the government structure, and then thought of the proportion of members from the congress. Anyway, he didn't really want to become a leader and then move to another position. It is really a last resort to take a back seat. However, there are still a few ministries and commissions of military power that still have to be firmly grasped in their hands.

"Huizi, it's late tonight, and there will be a curfew in a while, so you better go back first. You can draw up a constitution for me according to the civil constitution you just mentioned, as well as the three public and nine ministries. Yang Rui said, Yang Du just wanted to agree, and was pressed by Yang Rui with a wave of his hand. He still had something to say, "If you live, don't live in the British Concession." Come and live in the French Concession, and someone will pick you up tomorrow morning, so you can follow them. Besides, I heard that you are practicing the art of vertical and horizontal, this thing is good, but you should not always look at the country, but you should look abroad. In today's world, it is the same as the Warring States Rivalry, and the strong are respected. China is big and weak, and if it wants to develop in the early stage, it must be opportunistic, and when China is strong in a few decades, it will have to be combined to have a place in the world. These are extremely important to China, if you study well, why not worry about ambition? ”

Yang Rui said very euphemistically that the vertical and horizontal technique, not the emperor's technique, only made Yang Du break out in a cold sweat on his back. He followed Wang Kaiyun to learn the imperial technique, but few people knew about it, but now although Yang Rui didn't say it, he was also surprised. However, he had a cold sweat on his body, and he was covered with hot sweat.

Historically, he published an article on Jin Tieism in the autumn of 1906, but because Cixi was assassinated in the early summer of that year, and then Guangxu announced the opening of the National Assembly, he was promoted by Hunan to a member of the provincial parliament because of the resumption of the right of way of the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, and then became a member of the National Assembly. The carriage and horses are tired, and the officialdom is welcome, but he has no intention of doing knowledge, only this time the strings are more open, and then he has time to sort out what he thought before, this article on gold and ironism has been written a lot in the past few days, but it has not been written yet. Now Yang Rui wants him to pay more attention to foreign countries, not to mention that he will be united in the future, and he wants to have a place in the world.

Yang Rui didn't understand the excitement in Yang Du's heart. Just waiting for him to leave, I suddenly thought that he was wearing homespun clothes instead of a Western-style suit this time, and I knew in my heart that he had moved closer to the Revival Society in words and deeds. He looked at Chen Guangshou who came in and said, "You have also investigated Yang Huizi, how do you feel?" ”

Yang Rui rarely asked Chen Guangshou such questions, and he was a little stunned when he heard this, and said, "Yang Huizi...... It's a coincidence that he joined us. If you are entrusted with a heavy responsibility in the future, I am afraid that everyone will have an explanation, right? ”

Yang Rui asked how this person was, but Chen Guangshou couldn't say how this person was, he only felt that this person was too skillful. If you reuse it later, that's going to be a problem. Chen Guangshou said that Yang Rui had already considered it, and he began to pay attention to Yang Du, just because he was curious about this person's future experience, and then he felt that he was going to have some considerate people, and some things that were not very light still had to be planned by someone, so he wanted to recruit Yang Du over.

In addition to Yang Du, there are two other people Yang Rui wants to pull over, one is Cen Chi's former staff member Cen Chi, and the other is Yang Zengxin, the king of Xinjiang in the later generations. The former promoted Cen Chunxuan, who was like a reckless man, from the county order to the high position of the governor, and his ability to make suggestions and assess the situation is extremely high; The latter, when there were many events in the early Republic of China, fought with all forces in Xinjiang without falling. These two people, the former can be a staff member, and the latter can be a pillar. It's just that these two people are not easy to recruit, Cen Chi and Cen Chunxuan are the same sect, although he returned to Yuyao when Cen Chunxuan entered Beijing, but he was indifferent to fame and fortune and didn't want to go out of the mountain. And Yang Zengxin is a Jinshi of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and now he is an official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so if he wants to win him over, he must be unwilling. Even after the success of the revolution, there was some trouble, after all, he was an official of the previous dynasty, and he couldn't get to be recorded by the second minister.

"Qualifications and abilities are both indispensable, but in the final analysis, qualifications can be accumulated, ability may not be able, some people are getting worse and worse, and they really don't know what to eat to grow up." Yang Rui replied to Chen Guangshou's words. As he spoke, he got up and walked out of the room, preparing to return to the incognito church.

Chen Guangshou didn't know who Yang Rui was talking about. Just followed, and when he went out, he thought about one more thing and said, "Sir, there was a telegram from Guangzhou just now." It was said that the alliance would raise an incident. ”

I heard that the alliance will move again. Yang Rui was slightly surprised, and said, "They are quite fast." "Historically, this uprising took place in April, and now it's January. But when he thought of one more thing, his face suddenly sank, and he said in a cold voice: "How is the situation now?" ”

Chen Guangshou didn't understand what Yang Rui meant by 'moving very fast', and replied: "The telegram said that the fight had just started, and I don't know what the situation will be." However, now the Military Intelligence Bureau should have definite information, and I will know the progress of the move when I go back later. ”

"Good! Then go back now. Yang Rui said. Only got into the carriage.

After he finished speaking, Chen Guangshou said again: "Sir." You haven't been back for a few days, and Madame is ...... again today."

Chen Guangshou's mention of Cheng Ying made Yang Rui's face even colder, and he only interrupted: "Regardless of her, work is important." ”

Yang Rui's voice was not loud, but he was very resolute, so Chen Guangshou had to sit in the carriage and not speak. When the carriage started, Yang Rui only lit a cigarette, thinking about his extremely bad marriage.

As the so-called heterogeneous attraction, people will always be attracted to people who have no advantages in themselves, but after contact, they will feel that they are still the best of the same kind, although there are often contradictions, but the attitude towards the world is generally the same. Now Yang Rui feels more and more that Cheng Ying will only bring trouble to himself, and it is a big trouble. Before Cixi's death was one - of course, Cixi's death was undoubtedly beneficial to the growth of the Fuxing Society - rubber stocks were another. Because Yang Rui refused to support the Alliance, and he had no private money, Cheng Ying had no choice but to provide information and ask Fang Junying to speculate in rubber stocks, so the Alliance would be more than 10,000 yuan, and finally it became 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. It's just a matter of making money, and in the end, under the huge profits, they will definitely not be able to escape the big price drop, and they will still lose their money, but in the end, when the revival club was about to close the net, she passed the news that the stock was going to fall. This is actually the day she saw Zhang Kun's text on Yang Rui's desk with her stomach up.

The news that rubber stocks were going to fall sharply was transmitted to the Alliance, and Deng Zeru, who was in the Alliance, was an overseas Chinese businessman, and he was also speculating in rubber stocks. Fortunately, Fang Junying did not say where the news came from, otherwise the inside story of the revival would have caused the stock market to plummet.

This woman is a scourge after all, the same as that little Yinfeng, Yang Rui thought so after learning about the report of the Military Intelligence Bureau. But now that he and Cheng Ying have been tied to death, Honolulu is laying out overseas with the help of his father-in-law Cheng Weinan and those overseas Chinese in Guangdong, and his son has been born, it is inappropriate to divorce his wife and divorce at this time, so he can only have a cold war; Or, if she marries Han Xianfeng again, Cheng Ying will let her live alone. Yang Rui thought of Han Xianfeng's heart suddenly felt a little hot, this woman was about to come back, no, the boat she was on had already passed through Hong Kong, and it was going to arrive in a few days.

When the cigarette was finished, the carriage also arrived on the road to the church, and there was no one around at night, Chen Guangshou only let the guards in front of him go slowly, and then he and Yang Rui got off the car quickly, and then walked quickly to the side door of the church. Yang Rui got out of the car here, and the people in the church had already seen it, so they opened the door as soon as they arrived, escorting the two of them in.

Passing through the corridor, I only went up to the second floor, and in the brightly lit hall, I saw a room full of people busy. This is where the General Staff is located, and they are keeping an eye on the war on Yanzhou's side, especially Lin Wenqian's temporary change of plan and wanting to eat Cai Yi's troops together, and the staff is even busier.

"Sir, Yanzhou's side is normal, Feng Guozhang's troops in the valley have all been annihilated, our losses are extremely light, more than 27,000 Qing troops have been captured, more than 130 artillery pieces, and there is no counting of heavy troops and horses." Bei Shoutong reported the news of the victory, and then said: "If there is no accident on Cai's side, most of them can be surrounded and annihilated tomorrow." ”

"Hmmm! Good. Such achievements are worthy of the terrain of Meiling Pass, and only then are they worthy of the more than one month that everyone has been busy with. Let Zhou Marrow and Zhong Fei report the list of meritorious personnel. Reward meritorious personnel as much as possible. Although he knew that the encirclement and annihilation would have such a result, Yang Rui was still happy when he heard the final result. Just continue to eat Cai Yi's three towns. Then only two towns in Yanzhou can be used by the Manchu Dynasty, and the other towns can revolt before the battle as long as they give an order.

"Yes, sir, I have told them that I mean." Pei Shoutong said.

"Has there been any change in Shandong and the Northeast? There is a good chance that things will have to be launched in advance. Seeing that Bei Shoutong wanted to leave after the report, Yang Rui stopped him again.

"Sir, the personnel from Beijing have not fully arrived, and the personnel from South Africa have not started to ship. If you start it in advance now, I'm afraid it will affect the overall situation, right? Pei Shoutong worried. Yiqiē was executing according to the plan, but Yang Rui suddenly wanted to advance. Then a lot of things will not be connected.

"I get it. But if the six towns of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are destroyed, then the Yanzhou side will have the advantage of our forces, and it will not matter if the South African 4th Army is not there; If Shandong talks about descending Yuan Shikai, it will be okay if he doesn't surrender. Medium immediately available. In this way, there is no need for three divisions on the Beijing side. Two divisions are enough, just defeat those vases in Beijing. Yang Rui said that the comparison of troops planned in advance, it is only January now, and it is too difficult to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival in October.

"Sir, if you really have to advance, then you have to wait for the two airships on the American side to be built." Feeling Yang Rui's eagerness, Bei Shoutong persuaded tactfully.

Because the Germans broke the treaty, the tonnage of the airship was still more than ten tons short of the planned tonnage. But the real yàn room has developed a new weapon, that is, a bazooka. In the absence of direct-fire artillery, this new weapon, which had a range of only a few tens of meters, was added by the General Staff to the list of weapons of the 2nd Army. This, together with others such as mortars and grenades, only increased the tonnage of the entire weapon to a hundred tons. In order to be able to carry these weapons, Xu Huafeng has already opened a factory in the United States to build two large-tonnage airships in accordance with the style of the Zeppelin. When these two airships are built, then there will be a hundred tons of tonnage.

"Oh, yes." Yang Rui thought of the two airships under construction, and also remembered their importance, lowered his voice, and asked: "They seem to have started construction, when will they be built, and when will they be delivered to logistics?" ”

"The scheduled time is to arrive in Tonghua in August, but it is likely to be advanced." Pei Shoutong said.

"Good! Then wait until August. Yang Rui nodded, "The closer I get to that time, the more worried I am that something will go wrong." As the saying goes, there are many dreams at night! ”

Yang Rui sighed here, but Pei Shoutong didn't know how to express his position, he believed that as long as he did it properly, there would be no problems, but there would be problems, and Xu Xilin, the commander of Wanping County, would also find a way to control it, and in the end, there were some personnel who were bought by the Military Intelligence Bureau, which could also prevent the spread of news and create the last time for revival to launch. Bei Shoutong didn't speak, and when he saw that Yang Rui was fine, he retreated back to the pile of staff officers. Yang Rui continued to walk to the inside of the hall, which was the office of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"How's the battle going over there in Guangzhou?" Yang Rui asked as soon as he entered the door. At this time, Liu Boyuan and several staff officers from the staff department were looking at the map. When the staff officers saw him coming, they saluted and withdrew.

"Sir, the Alliance has been launched in advance, and now that the battle is raging, they have captured the Governor's Palace." Liu Boyuan said.

The attack of the alliance meeting was unexpected, because Huang Xing and others, who were about to launch an incident some time ago, found out that Chen Jingbo, the owner of the hair company who helped him transport and hide guns, turned out to be a spy of the admiral of the navy, so he could only postpone the incident. When the Guangzhou side reported the matter the day before yesterday, Yang Rui just laughed, feeling that Xie Zhangtai wanted to reveal the plan of the alliance in Guangzhou to Admiral Li Zhun, the commander of the navy, which was completely superfluous, and before he could report it secretly, Li Zhun would know.

"How many of them are there? Also, do you know why this alliance will raise things in advance? Was it directly ordered by Sun Wen? Yang Rui asked.

"It is estimated that there are about 500 candidates, many of whom are students of the Aoyama School in Japan. Under the guidance of retired Japanese instructors, these people are much stronger than the ones they used to look for. Liu Boyuan said: "They will raise things in advance, although I don't know the specific reason, but it is estimated that it is related to the commander-in-chief Huang Xing." When he entered Guangzhou before, he said that he would either win or die in Wuyang City; Later, it was found that Li Zhun was sitting on Chen Jingbo, and when he held a collective meeting to discuss, Hu Yisheng and Hu Hanmin wanted to reschedule and postpone it, but he was unwilling, saying that rescheduling the matter was tantamount to dissolution. Now the alliance will be launched suddenly, probably because he found out that there are members of the bad party in the patrol camp of the Qing army, so he did it. ”

What Liu Boyuan said was the truth, but Yang Rui thought of the situation of the alliance and said, "These may be the reasons. But the most important thing is that if the matter is rescheduled, they will not be able to explain it to overseas Chinese. After raising some money, they have to fight for it, and if they win everything, the overseas Chinese will return the investment tenfold, and they will become famous; If he loses, he can add to Sun Wen's revolutionary history. This revolution is really like a family. ”

The alliance will be launched suddenly, although there are hundreds of people, but Yang Rui does not think that they have any hope of success, Li Zhun has been in Liangguang for many years, and he has been on guard in advance, even if he attacks the governor's palace, he is afraid that the governor Zhang Mingqi will also run away. When Huang Xing came back to his senses and knew that he had entered a heavy siege, these hundreds of people could only surrender and be annihilated, and he was really a brainless general. Yang Rui thought of Huang Xing, what else are Lin Shishuang, Yu Peilun, and Lin Juemin, but he only feels that they are really following the wrong person, if they join the Revival Association, it would be good to directly attack Beijing.

"Sir, since this matter has nothing to do with us, can we come forward to save some people from the Alliance at the right time?" Since Liu Boyuan found out about Cheng Ying, he has shown some mercy to his subordinates on the side of the Alliance, so that Yang Rui can speak well in front of Cheng Ying, and the relationship between the husband and wife will not be so stiff.

"What to save? What is there to save? It's best if these brainless wastes are dead. If it weren't for Cheng Ying's matter, Yang Rui might really use the power of the Revival Society in Guangzhou afterwards to save some alliance members, but now he is angry that Cheng Ying eats inside and out, and he doesn't have the heart to save it.

"I... I understand. Liu Boyuan didn't expect his construction to make Yang Rui even more popular, and he was very worried.

"We and the Alliance are not friends, or even enemies." Yang Rui said loudly, "To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself. For the sake of the revolution, many of us have died, and there were tens of thousands of people in Hangzhou at that time, and now we can have today's situation, and it is also the death of the dead. Can't we think that the alliance will be pitiful, and we won't be pitiful? ”

Yang Rui said a big reason, and Liu Boyuan could only nod. Fortunately, at this time, Yang Rui's words changed and asked: "How is Zhu Kuanfu in South America?" How much money have you donated now? ”

"Oh... The local overseas Chinese have pledged more than 700,000 pounds, and there are also more than 2 million taels in Nanyang, plus the United States, the number of pledges has exceeded 10 million taels, but this is only a pledge, and it has not been fulfilled. We expect that if after the success of the revolution, Zhu ...... If Zhu Kuansu can walk around the United States and Nanyang, then it is estimated that he can donate more than 20 million taels. Zhang Xingjian, the bank, is now making a plan to issue 100 million taels of founding bonds to overseas Chinese. Liu Boyuan introduced the situation on Zhu Kuansu's side, but he was different from Yang Rui, although he knew that Zhu Kuansu was just an archway, and he was not used to calling him by his name.

Yang Rui didn't care that his name for Zhu Kuanji was very unnatural, he only heard 100 million bonds, and asked with some surprise: "Overseas Chinese are really so rich?" ”

"Sir, we are going straight to Huanglong, we have captured Guangxu, and then all provinces in the country are also in control, and it is impossible for overseas Chinese not to buy bonds under the patriotism of overseas Chinese. Since the overseas Chinese were deceived by Kang Youwei last time, whether they were gentry or coolies, they all hated the Manchus to the core. The Military Intelligence Bureau doesn't know how much money they have, but there are millions of overseas Chinese, and if one person pays one hundred taels, there will be 100 million taels. Liu Boyuan said. He felt that although 100 million taels was outrageous, he felt that Zhu Kuanji's influence was outrageous. If it weren't for Yang Rui's famous words not to establish an emperor, he would have wanted to build a yì to let Zhu Kuansu ascend the throne. (To be continued......)
