Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 378 The Uninvited Guest

"By the way, while you were in a coma, we sent a representative to express our most sincere apologies to our country for what happened to Okada Koji." Zhao Bingjun said: "We saw that people were very attentive to the treatment of the emperor, so we have already accepted the request on behalf of the people. A public apology. By the way, this nurse Uehara Tomomi has been appointed as the emperor's full-time medical staff."

So it is!Guan Xuqing did not expect that someone would reach out to heal him.A while ago, Ren also secretly suppressed the Shanghai branch.Now it may be seen that he can't suppress it, but he is playing tricks again.

Guan Xuqing is very clear that the military strength and national power at this time are not as powerful as they were before World War I.Even if they have greedy intentions towards China, they will definitely not be as blatant as they were before the Sino-Japanese War.It's not worth turning against people now, but it's worth considering how to take advantage of people's desire to win and gain benefits.

Guan Xuqing couldn't help but think of the assassination again.He remembered clearly that if there was a sniper in his guard group hiding secretly, he would be able to discover the assassin's plot if he was condescending.And in future wars, especially in urban street battles, the role of snipers will become more and more prominent.From this moment on, Guan Xuqing had the idea of ​​cultivating a specialized sniper team.

It is not easy to train an excellent sniper team.However, it does not take much effort and time to train a quasi-professional team with accurate marksmanship and the ability to use primitive sniper rifles.

Next, Guan Xuqing recuperated in Xiehe Hospital for a period of time. He was taken care of by Youmei every day and treated by medical experts from various countries, so his body recovered very quickly.At the same time, all order in Shanghai has returned to stability, and the business and economy are even more prosperous than before. The 3000 million invested by the three of Rong greatly enriched the capital quota of Shanghai.In addition, under Guan Xuqing's instruction, the domestic media immediately published reports about the emperor's recovery and photos of the emperor. In the photos, Guan Xuqing was hale and hearty and rosy. These reports have been published, and people's hearts have been stabilized immediately.A storm was quelled again.

The day was clear and bright, and Guan Xuqing boarded his special train again. Under the watchful eyes of thousands of people in Shanghai, he left Shanghai Bund and headed all the way south to Nanxun.

When Li Hongzhang's excerpts written by Guan Xuqing's imperial pen arrived in Jiangsu Province, there was an immediate uproar among the officials and the people.There are no mulberry trees in the capital, so everyone is not in a hurry.But Jiangnan is different. This is related to the livelihood of thousands of silkworm farmers in Jiangnan, and it is related to the tax revenue of Liangjiang.

According to the news from the province, Liu Kunyi, a high-ranking official in Jiangsu Province, dropped several teacups in one breath on the day he received the mail from the imperial court, scolded Li Hongzhang for not understanding economics, and made false statements to harm the country, and called relevant officials overnight to discuss the matter. Countermeasures.

The so-called discussion, in fact, does not need Liu Kun to set the tone at all. The officials in the south of the Yangtze River are very angry at Li Hongzhang's notes. Isn't this cutting off everyone's money?The papers submitted by Li Hongzhang during his lifetime have been approved until now.Officials have always paid attention to harmony and harmony. This time, Li Hongzhang really offended the officials in Jiangnan. Headed by Liu Kunyi, the officials in Jiangnan were going to jointly present to the court, admonishing Li Hongzhang that he could not and could not do anything. If Li Hongzhang If you are still alive, I don't know how you feel about this matter.

On the evening of the third day after Ting Ji arrived in Jiangsu Province, just as the official circles in the south of the Yangtze River were fighting against each other and preparing to fight the dead Li Hongzhang, a young man came out of the province and asked to see him with a film.

Liu Kunyi was in the office, deliberating word by word on the memorial that the secretary had prepared for him. When he heard the servant's report, he was slightly taken aback.

Yang Shenxiu, director of the Development Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, could it be that the one who investigated and dealt with the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the capital a few days ago, is currently a celebrity in front of the emperor?Liu Kun thought to himself, there must be a reason for Yang Shenxiu not working in Beijing, but why he came to Jiangsu all the time.He put the memorial in his hand on the table, and asked the secretary, "Did he say why he saw me?"

It stands to reason that there is a huge disparity in status between a small director general and a high-ranking official in Jiangsu Province. Liu Kunyi doesn't care about it at all. However, Zeng Guoquan, the former governor of Liangjiang, just died of illness in office. When he was at a loss for what to do, he also worried that Yang Shenxiu was someone who could be used by the emperor, and at this juncture he suddenly came from the capital to Jiangning, there must be something to be said for it.

"Reporting to my lord, the person who came here only said that he had something to ask to see you." The servant said with his head bowed.

Liu Kunyi's heart moved, he stood up and walked a few steps back and forth in the room, then turned his eyes to his most trusted confidential secretary, concentrated his mind, turned his head and told the servant: "Let him wait outside. , I'll go right away."

It was Yang Shenxiu who came.A month ago, according to Guan Xuqing's instructions, he took an errand in the ministry to Jiangnan and left Beijing quietly.There was no delay along the way, but he came straight to Jiangning.After answering some errands in Jiangning's Agriculture Department, he dedicatedly waited for the imperial court's court mail.

Seeing Liu Kunyi walking in from the door at this moment, Yang Shenxiu clasped his fists and said, "See senior officials, Shenxiu came here uninvited, it's really a bit abrupt, I hope Master Liu will forgive me."

Liu Kun raised his hand slightly and said, "Where is it? Hehe, Mr. Yang, please sit down and talk." Then he turned around and walked into the room and sat down, looking at Yang Shenxiu with piercing eyes.

"Master Yang is the majestic director of the Ministry of Agriculture. He also walks in the study room. I don't know what business I have here in Jiangning?"

"I am appointed by the Ministry of Agriculture to go to the Jiangning Agriculture Department on business." Yang Shenxiu cupped his hands and said.

"Since it's an errand for the Ministry of Agriculture, you can just go to the Department of Agriculture, why come to my provincial department today?" Liu Kunyi was not at all polite, and went straight to the topic as soon as he sat down.

Everyone knew that this Yang Shenxiu was someone close to the emperor. Although Liu Kunyi was far away in Jiangsu, he knew the situation in the court clearly, and hoped that Yang Shenxiu would be dismissed with a few words.He is a person who has been polished in the officialdom for a long time, and he is naturally unwilling to be suspected of having a private relationship with someone close to the emperor, and to get involved in the court dispute for nothing.

"The official business is over. Shenxiu came to visit Mr. Liu today. It was not for other reasons, but he was entrusted by two people. He came to solve the troubles in Mr. Liu's heart." Yang Shenxiu said calmly without rushing or panicking.

Since ancient times, most of the young and aggressive people around the emperor are good at making shocking words, and listening to Yang Shenxiu's words now seems to be the same.A director, however, made wild remarks to speculate on the worries of high-ranking officials in Jiangsu. Rao Liu Kunyi cultivated the city and bearing of a feudal official, and there was a hint of mockery in his expression.

"I don't know who Master Yang was entrusted with, and how do you know what troubles are in my heart?" Liu Kun stared at Yang Shenxiu for a long time before slowly asking.

"I am afraid that the troubles in the hearts of adults are known to the whole of Jiangnan. It is just a matter of abolishing mulberry and promoting agriculture." Under Liu Kunyi's cold gaze, without any restraint and embarrassment, he smiled and continued: "As for what you told me People, one of them is Li Hongzhang, Governor of Zhili and Beiyang Minister"

Liu Kun was taken aback, although his expression remained the same, his heart was already full of turmoil.The matter of abolishing sang and promoting agriculture that Yang Shenxiu said was indeed the biggest worry in his heart at this time.These days, he has often wondered in his heart, with Li Hongzhang's shrewdness and sophistication back then, how could he do such absurd and unsatisfactory things, could there be some tricks hidden in it.

"As for the other person." Yang Shenxiu paused for a moment, and said solemnly, "It's the current emperor."

Liu Kun was startled suddenly, he was stunned for a while before he realized, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Does the emperor have a will?"

Yang Shenxiu shook his head, and said calmly: "The emperor has no intention. Please sit down. It's just that when I left the capital, I had a secret telegram with the emperor. The emperor specially gave instructions on the matter of abolishing mulberry and promoting agriculture. The official explained to the adults."

Liu Kun looked at Yang Shenxiu half-believingly, but was at a loss in his heart.A dead Li Hongzhang, an emperor, plus the matter of abolishing the mulberry and promoting agriculture, just like the bleak autumn in the south of the Yangtze River, made him feel a little confused for no reason.Is the imperial court really planning to abolish Sang and promote agriculture?

After hesitating for a while, Liu Kun raised his hand slightly and said, "Master Yang, please tell me."

In the spring of the 22nd year of Guangxu, Zhang Songxian's second son, Zhang Baoshan, was sitting in his home's Henghe Silk Shop, looking at Lin Qizhao, who was looking at Lin Qizhao, who was looking through the account books leisurely, speechless for a moment. .

Zhang Songxian has two sons in total. The eldest son Zhang Baoqing has been sick all the time. He died of illness in the 16th year of Guangxu.

Zhang Baoshan, whose name is Dingfu, is not very prominent in the famous Zhang family, but his son Zhang Jingjiang is a legendary figure in the modern history of China.One of the "Four Great Veterans" of the Kuomintang, Sun Yat-sen called him "Second Brother", "China's No. [-] Stranger" once spent his entire family to fund the revolution and advise Sun Yat-sen in his anti-Qing struggle.He also provided a large amount of funds to Jiang, pointed out the maze for Jiang many times, and went to Guangzhou to intercede with Sun Yat-sen in person, so that Jiang was awarded the post of principal of Huangpu Military Academy.After Sun Yat-sen's death, he turned the tide and supported the crisis. During his tenure as the Standing Committee of the People's Republic of China and the acting Central Executive Committee, he spared no effort to gain the highest power of the party, government and army, and made suggestions. He was called the "revolutionary mentor"
