Chapter 107 Shipbuilding
When Liu Feng and others heard this, they were stunned and entered the palace and trained palace maids. Aren’t they the eunuchs? The few people burst into tears: “Sir, please give up your hand. We really know that we were wrong. Let’s go out to find those foreigners to beat them to death. Otherwise, you will punish us for more military sticks, fifty strokes, one hundred strokes, and never throw us into the palace! We cannot be eunuchs!”
Liu Shaoqing was held by several people and wiped her pants with snot. After a few times of hard work, she couldn't break free. These people were probably worried that they would be sent to the palace to become eunuchs and would not let go.
"I'm afraid of being a eunuch? I'm afraid of being a eunuch, don't do anything without eggs." He pointed at Yang Yong and others, "What else do you think? Why don't you pull them out and enforce military law?"
Yang Yong said hesitantly: "Stop being angry, this military stick must be beaten with care. This is the matter of entering the palace..."
"You still want to plead with mercy? Tell you, no one should plead with you. Whoever is mercy, go with them!"
When everyone heard this, they no longer dared to speak.
Liu Shaoqing continued, "I will remember it for me in the future. If anyone loses the face of our soldiers outside, I will not give him any face. Also, from today on, the training volume will be doubled, and the rest will be cancelled to save you from making trouble. Three months later, the last team will enter the palace to train female soldiers." As he said that, he pointed at Liu Feng and the others and said, "Replace them!"
When Liu Feng heard this, he felt like a ray of sunlight shining into his heart and suddenly became vibrant: "Sir, replace it in three months, which means we are just entering the palace temporarily, not really being eunuchs."
Liu Shaoqing looked at him angrily and said, "Temporary? If you don't train well, let you stay in the palace for the rest of your life!"
Damn, as long as we don’t really go to the palace to be eunuch, our buddy who has been in the three months of divine horse will endure it: “Yes! Ensure to complete the task!”
When the others heard this, Damn, I canceled my vacation, doubled the training volume, and had to be evaluated. The key is that the last one would go to the palace to stay with a group of eunuchs and girls. It would be better to die than to die. Thinking of this, everyone's eyes immediately changed when they saw Liu Feng - it was all caused by this guy.
So the following military sticks were executed very seriously.
But this matter is not over yet. His soldiers were bullied by foreigners, so we can't just let it go. Liu Pifu is a bandit, and he has always taken advantage of others when he has been bullied by others and still dares to bubbling?
Yang Yong never lets down his heart when he enforces military law, so Liu Feng and others were beaten to pieces. It is estimated that they would not go to the ground every three or five days, but Liu Shaoqing picked up several people the next day.
"Can you move?"
Liu Feng and his men bit their back teeth and said with a stern voice: "I can't die."
Liu Shaoqing smiled coldly, "That's good. Do you remember which country they came from and live there?"
Several people looked at each other and said, "I don't know which country, but what they say is neither English, nor German or French, nor does it look like Russians, and I don't know where I live. We only know that we came from Dongjiaomin Lane."
Not a few major powers, Liu Shaoqing thought in his mind that it should be small countries such as Italy, the United States, Spain, and Belgium. Damn, a few bastards dare to shit on me, and really think that I have no temper?
"It's easy to know that it's from Dongjiaomin Lane. Can you move? Well, you guys are divided into groups and two people will go to Dongjiaomin Lane to guard me every day. When will you see the foreigners who beat people and come back to report?"
Several people gritted their teeth and said in unison: "Yes!"
After the few people left, Liu Shaoqing called Yang Yong and ordered: "You can arrange a few more people to take care of them, and also ask the doctor to change some medicine for injury."
Yang Yong nodded: "I understand, I won't let them get into trouble."
Hall of Care for Heart.
"Reported to the Emperor, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Zhang Zhidong, announced that he would raise 800,000 taels of silver and build eight warships from the Fuzhou Shipyard to fill the sea defense."
"Oh? Zhang Zhidong wants to build a warship?" Guangxu smiled and turned to ask Yihuan: "Prince Chun, what do you think about this?"
Yihuan stepped forward and said, "Report to the emperor, as I see, foreign military provocations have all started from the southern coast, and Guangdong is particularly important. Since the Guangdong Governor can raise funds for self-raised funds to expand coastal defense, the court should support it and reward the gentry who serve it."
"Support, commendation. Haha." Guangxu smiled. "In the first few months, I wanted to open a water and land master school, so I refuted it. Now I want to build a warship. Haha, okay, okay. The Navy Office said that the funding was not fully resolved in the first two months. Now Guangdong can raise 800,000 taels of silver on its own."
"Prince Chun, I want to ask you, if Guangdong built its own warships, and if there is a dispute outside North Korea, can the Guangdong Navy navy go north in time?"
Yihuan replied: "From Guangdong to North Korea, the two places are too far apart, so it is difficult to arrive in time."
"Then I ask you again, if something happens in the Taiwan Strait, will the Guangdong Navy Navy support you in time?"
Yihuan replied: "If you foresee this in advance, you will be able to use it."
Guangxu smiled and said, "'It should be used'? That is, it may not be used, right?"
Yihuan did not answer this time.
"The money is paid by others, and the warship is also in their hands. The supervisor also comes from the Guangzhou Aquatic and Land Normal School. Prince Chun is thousands of miles away. With a telegram, he can hand over the navy warship to you?"
The Minister of War Elehe preached: "Zhang Zhidong should not dare to resist the order."
Guangxu sneered: "The resistance to the order is disrespectful. Humph, yes, Zhang Zhidong naturally would not do such a foolish thing. However, due to weather, can the warships not leave the port? Can it be slower to leave the port? Can it be a little slower to drive on the road? There is a lack of coal and ammunition, and it needs to be allocated by the court. What is the reason?"
Speaking of this, Guangxu's words changed and became stern: "You people, after staying in the capital for a long time, their minds were rusted. The governors and governors in various places acted independently, disrespect the orders, and found various excuses to shirk them. Are there any such things? The most important thing in the army's war is unified command, and they are most afraid of doing their own affairs. You don't know such a simple truth. How do you become the Minister of War? How do you become the Minister of the Navy? How did the Emperor of Zhou be slapped by the princes in various places during the Spring and Autumn Period? Your books have been read to dogs? The navy is a heavy weapon of national defense. For such a big thing, the governor in a local area do what he wants to do? Then what should the court do? You all go to Guangzhou to listen!"
The ministers below were all silent and dared not speak anymore. Guangxu said: "Print an order! Ask Zhang Zhidong, what does he want to do if he set up a private military weapon?"
Guangxu said this very heavily, just like he would say directly: Zhang Zhidong wants to rebel!
"Zhe!" The eunuch immediately planned to go.
"Wait a minute," Guangxu said again: "Don't he have 800,000 taels of silver? OK, the imperial court needs money to build a navy, so he can serve one million taels!"
"twitter!"
After Guangxu said this, he changed his breath and said to the ministers below: "Okay, don't hold your tails one by one, as if you are angry. I am reminding you of what power can be given and what power can't be given!"
The ministers said in unison: "The emperor is wise!"
"Okay, I know that I am not wise. Let's not talk about this anymore. Prince Gong, have you finished the previous draft? "
"Yes, I have already drafted it, a total of fourteen items."
Previously, Prince Gong wrote a letter, planning to send various government offices to travel abroad with an orderly narrative, with a time limit of two years. During the trip, we should record the key points of the terrain, the general trend of defense, as well as the distance and near miles, customs and politics, naval forts, manufacturing factories, freighters, boats, mines and shells in detail for inspection.
After reading this remark, Guangxu agreed deeply, allowing Yixin to further refine and deepen, and to take the final example in the future.
"Okay." Guangxu then said: "What's the discussion between the Ministry of Rites about mathematics and economics being classified as scientific research?"
Previously, the censor Chen Xiuying said, "Entertainment of Westernization from the mathematics, and although the various schools of Taixi do not have to be able to use multiple tools, the calculation is clear, and it is not difficult to follow the map." Therefore, it is recommended that "if you are familiar with the mathematics papers in the year-end examination, even if the text in the main field is slightly inferior, you will be more generous than being admitted as a calculation student."
This letter is naturally in line with Guangxu's wishes, so he immediately handed it over to the Ministry of Rites for careful consideration and drafting it into a document.
The Minister of Rites and the clan Kui Run replied: "My ministers and Lord Bi (Shangshi of Rites) and others discussed that they all thought that the method of creating talents and recruiting scholars was important to adapt to the times. Triangles, geometry, and algebra are the foundation of Western learning. The various studies in Taixi have always been derived from mathematical science. If you want to fully understand the strengths of Western learning, Yi must take mathematical science as the leader. Therefore, you are going to ask for an order for the scientific examination. The main field still uses classics and strategies, and also add mathematical science questions as additional tests. If a student is able to understand the algorithm, he will send this person to the Zongli Yamen to ask Western teachers to re-examination to investigate things, economy, historical facts of various countries, etc. Choose the one who is familiar with the people to be given a Beijing position, and specializes in the Zongli Yamen, the Ministry of Works, the customs, and other missions."
After hearing this, Guangxu nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I will draft the order and pass it on to the provincial government."
After all the matters were discussed, the ministers left, and Guangxu's generals Yihuan, Li Hongzhang, Erle and Bu remained and continued to discuss naval affairs.
"What I said about Zhang Zhidong before may be a bit serious, but this military matter has become a malpractice, and if it is not rectified, it will inevitably lead to a hundred years of disaster and become the foundation of chaos in the world. This is also the reason why I asked the reorganization of the army before, so you should take this matter as a warning!"
Guangxu's words were a footnote to the previous storm in the court, but Li Hongzhang thought to himself that this was actually the emperor reminding him. Because the Huai Army is now the largest warlord faction in the country and is stationed in Zhili, it is naturally the most suspicious of the court. He thought again, fortunately, he had handed over the navy before, otherwise he would probably be the one who was named today. But should he gradually handed over the army in the future? Li Hongzhang felt that since he had decided to bet this a few years ago and had already placed a bet, he might as well keep on betting!
Erle and Bu looked at Yihuan and said, "Your Majesty, I think that since the court has established a naval yamen, it is better to leave the naval yamen from the military and handle government affairs separately like the Zongli yamen."
Yihuan hurriedly said, "I'm afraid this is not right..."
Guangxu stopped Yihuan and said, "This proposal is very good, and I have the intention. Not only the navy, but also the army in the future will do the same. The so-called profession has specialties. The Ministry of War can focus on personnel training, logistics construction and other aspects in the future. The Navy and Army yamen are specialized in training and combat, and each performs its duties."
