He knew in his heart that the reason why Song Biao said this was because the Restoration Association was obviously a little impatient during this period. As the strength of the Northeast New Army expanded to a scale of more than 100,000, Tao Chengzhang and Xu Xilin of the Restoration Association

Everyone believed that as long as the New Northeast Army launched an army southward, the Qing Dynasty would be destroyed.

These people’s ideas are not wrong, but they didn’t expect that more than 100,000 troops could defend the dignity of the three northeastern provinces, but could not withstand the dignity and interests of the entire China.

Even if the new Northeast Army develops to its current scale, it is unlikely to continue to expand. If it continues, the Qing government will really not be able to bear it. Maybe it would rather take the risk of going to war than showdown with Song Biao.

However, the scale of non-commissioned officers in the new Northeast Army can continue to increase, and the proportion of non-commissioned officers will be further increased. We will continue to cultivate more non-commissioned officers, let more veterans receive non-commissioned officer training, hoard more military supplies, and establish a more complete military industrial system.

Make all preparations for rapid expansion of the army.

In addition, the Northeast New Army can also improve combat capabilities and deterrent power to foreign enemies by continuing to add more and better heavy artillery, artillery, machine guns, and match more horsepower.

Therefore, Song Biao's "stability" at this time is very important. If he has "stability" for another two years, China will be saved.

As for the fall of the Qing Dynasty, for Song Biao and Shu Fangde, who are well aware of the current combat power level of the Northeast New Army, they all understand that the fall of the Qing Dynasty was destined after the first round of the fourth training session of the Northeast New Army.

No suspense.

The fourth phase of training established by Song Biao is a very special military training system, which is specifically designed for countries like China and Russia. The New Northeast Army has vigorously expanded 3,255 outstanding soldiers through the first round of fourth phase of training, and has passed half a year.

The three batches of non-commissioned officer crash teams within this group have greatly increased the number of grassroots non-commissioned officers, making sufficient preparations for a new round of expansion.

In other words, the expansion of the Northeast New Army was rhythmic once a year and a half. With the four towns that the Qing government could tolerate, six infantry divisions, three cavalry brigades, and three artillery brigades.

After the expansion is completed, we will continue to significantly increase the reserve of grassroots non-commissioned officers.

In all parts of the three northeastern provinces, the New Army of Northeast China has built a comprehensive militia system through the three staff departments, and continued to adopt militia training similar to the first phase in various places, while in various places, the first phase in the patrol troops will adopt the first phase in the second phase in the patrol troops.

Once Song Biao decides to send troops to the pass, the new Northeast Army will be able to quickly increase by two to three times in just three months. The patrol troops in various places can quickly assemble and reorganize multiple reserve infantry regiments to form effective defense in each province and stabilize the three eastern provinces.

The situation also prevents Japanese and Russian interference in the entry of new troops.

With such a new Northeast Army as support. Song Biao had sufficient confidence in dealing with anything when facing the Qing government. Even when dealing with the vote-for-money, he was still in the Shu family's villa at night.

I stayed there. I called Zhang Zhidong casually the next morning, saying that I would wait a few days before giving a reply, and give him time to think about it first.

It is related to the currency of the entire three northeastern provinces and even the entire China, and the vote storm cannot be rushed to deal with it.

In the past few days, Song Biao asked Northeast Bank, Research Bureau, and Far East Bank to propose a set of cases to solve the issue of votes. After all, three sets of cases were submitted to his office. He combined the pros and cons and went with Zhang Kangren.

Shu Fangxin, Rong Xingqiao and others secretly negotiated many times, and finally gave Zhang Zhidong a systematic reply.

Since the free circulation characteristics of the voting as a silver substitute currency cannot be stopped, the best way for Song Biao, the three eastern provinces and the Far East consortium is to maximize the interests, making a mixed advantage of the matter more beneficial to them.

.

Therefore, the solution proposed by Song Biao is roughly divided into several points. First, we must punish Zhao Erxun and Yang Shixiang first, and give foreign banks and Far East banks certain compensation to quell the vote storm first; second, we must formally establish a silver standard

Currency is circulating nationwide, and Qingyuan is established as a unified tax and foreign trade settlement currency unit. The Ministry of Revenue Bank is responsible for printing and minting silver dollars. If there are any shortcomings, the Northeast Bank can handle it. The official banks of each province will uniformly allocate silver dollars and coupons according to the silver dollars they own.

Copper round coupons, the Ministry of Revenue Bank draws 5% as printing tax; thirdly, the bidding is a fait accompli, and involves foreign banks. It is difficult to change and should be officially allowed to be circulated nationwide. The Qing Dynasty silver balls and Kanto silver balls are in the silver content ratio.

Unified, mutually reciprocal settlement, Kanto silver dollars and Fengbao are used as supplements to the Qing Dynasty silver dollars, used in concessions, trade ports, and utilizing foreign capital to alleviate the current situation of domestic silver shortage.

The three points proposed by Song Biao are basically the arguments between Rong Xingqiao and the Far East Consortium. This argument seems to be the most fair, and in fact it is also the most beneficial to the three northeastern provinces. One of the main balance points is that once a large-scale financial crisis occurs in the country.

The first thing that hits Qingyuan is to do is not to vote.

As the industries of the three northeastern provinces further expand and the levels are improved, the three northeastern provinces are silver inflow areas compared with the whole country. Silver across the country can naturally flow into the three northeastern provinces in trade through clear liquidity, so that the three northeastern provinces can be economically developed and the entire.

China's large market is further integrated.

Song Biao's proposal hit the key that the Qing court longed for. It was not that the Qing government did not want to promote the Qing silver dollar across the country, but the local governor had real power, and after the Gengzi Rebellion, it was basically uncontrollable, so it was full.

The powerful and powerful Qing Dynasty took advantage of the constitutional establishment to form a Manchu cabinet to take the opportunity to regain real power.

The implementation of the Qing Dynasty silver round is not conducive. The key is that the local governor does not support it, and the interests of the local and central government cannot be mediated. Song Biao's plan is generally beneficial to the local government, but the central government of the Qing government cannot say that it has gained nothing. 5% of the printing of banknotes in various provinces across the country

The taxes are also a considerable source of taxation. How could the Qing tyrants who had no money to continue to expand the Beiyang Army to resist the new Northeast Army?

After Song Biao sent the call back to Zhang Zhidong, it was estimated that the Qing government would have to debate the matter for at least three or four months. He hoped to pass it, nor did he care whether the matter could be passed immediately. He was preparing to go to Shandong.

He negotiated military-industry cooperation with the military representative of the German DWM company who had just arrived in Qingdao, the new German military officer in China.

Song Biao was about to get up, but then he got another news from Yuan Shikai. It turned out that he was a bit harsh in the vote storm. In addition, the number of soldiers who cut their braids in the Northeast New Army suddenly increased. The Qing government thought that the

The matter of the Grand Secretary was not handled properly, and Song Biao still wanted to rebel and was panicked. Recently, someone proposed to appoint him as a vassal king.

The general idea was to grant Song Biao the title of King of Anliao, and the court arranged the governors of the three eastern provinces, and the governors of the three provinces were all subject to his restraint.

This is a statement, and some people just proposed it, but the court was indeed discussing it very seriously. There were many people who agreed and more people opposed it. Zhang Zhidong put forward a compromise opinion that he was named a first-class official.

He was given a purple reincarnation and a leather strip, and a three-eyed peach feather, and a second-class student in the East Pavilion.

Another military minister, Lu Chuanlin, proposed not to simply enthrone the Duke of the Eight Fen Sui, but would not be given eunuchs or Zhu Lun.

Yuan Shikai did not say a word about this. He might be jealous, but he is one of the few people who informed Song Biao of this matter that the General Office discussed internally. (To be continued)
