It's what a capable minister should do, and he doesn't want to be persecuted to death by the Manchus. If we just talk about the New Deal, we can still talk a little bit."

After hearing what Song Biao said, Zhang Zhidong, who had all his real rights confiscated, was unable to refute, while Yin Chang was quite embarrassed.

People like Zhang Zhidong and Yuan Shikai had all their powers taken away, but people like him were appointed governors of Zhili. Doesn't this in itself illustrate what Song Biao said?

The three of them were silent for a long time before Zhang Zhidong broke the embarrassment and said: "When it comes to the New Deal, I admire Song Zhongtang the most. The three eastern provinces can do it in just two or three years."

Such a situation really astonishes the Chinese people. I thought that in ten years, the only place where China can compete with foreign countries will be Dongsanshan.

Just save it. If we talk about the New Deal, Song Zhongtang, we have discussed dozens of letters and telegrams between you and me. Now that I think about it, I feel that we have never been able to talk about the real key points, or that I have never been able to ask.

The real key, in Song Zhongtang’s view, is how should our country conduct political affairs if we want to strive forward and compete with foreigners?”

Song Biao nodded slightly. Although they talked about many things in the past, they only discussed some superficial issues and failed to touch on the fundamental issues. He immediately replied to Zhang Zhidong: "Eight words, Long Li respects the virtuous, attaches great importance to

The Dharma loves the people. The so-called Long Li Zun Xian is to break the orthodox thoughts of Confucianism, restore the thought of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period, enable freedom of thought and freedom of speech, pay attention to the popular education of the people, and promote the essence of the nation.

God, to reshape the national quality that has been declining due to rule since the Qin and Han Dynasties; to respect the law and love the people is to establish a comprehensive new legal system based on the equality of everyone, break the distinction between Manchu and Han, break the distinction between officials and businessmen, break

To differentiate between scholars and people, establish a fair and equitable legal basis, and keep wealth among the people as the foundation of governing the country, so that people can get rich equally, compete fairly, and all talented and knowledgeable people can stand out."

After Zhang Zhidong heard these words, he couldn't help but sigh: "The three eastern provinces are governed within the pass, so we can only learn the superficial knowledge but not the essence. I have also been studying the daily editorials of the Northeast Daily recently, and they are all

It can be called a classic, and it is a good article for governing the world. "New Treatise on "Long Li Zun Xian"" was like a thunderous awakening for me, making me suddenly realize where I went wrong in the past thirty years."

Song Biao comforted him: "Zhang Zhongtang exaggerated. The imperial court could not give up the orthodox Confucian theory of destiny in Guan Nei, let alone the Manchu-Han conflict. Therefore, Guan Nei was destined to only learn some superficial knowledge of the New Deal of the three eastern provinces.

It is also a good thing to have some superficial things, but I am afraid that even the superficial matters will be handled incorrectly. For example, every province is handling the ticketing affairs of its own province. I am afraid that no province can really handle it well. They are just trying to use this matter to abuse.

Distributing banknotes for temporary relief, because no one can be the governor of a province forever, and they will always be transferred here and there. Who will think about the long term? I am different. I am afraid that I will be in charge of the three northeastern provinces for decades. Naturally, I

We need to think about the long term. I personally think that this is the difference between the new policies of the three eastern provinces and the new policies of the provinces in Guannei. After all, I want to consider the long term, so I can govern based on loving the people, while the governors of each province just want temporary political achievements."

Zhang Zhidong had to agree: "Song Zhongtang hit the nail on the head."

The two of them sang in harmony, but what they actually said was that the Manchus were incompetent, but they still wanted to control the key issue of government affairs, so they harmed the country and the people. Yinchang became more and more embarrassed as he stood aside.

Zhang Zhidong would not discuss this kind of issue with Song Biao before. That is because he sits on the throne of the governor of Huguang and holds real power. Now he has been exalted by the Manchu court and the Manchu clan, and all real power has been removed. This

Only then can we feel dissatisfied and take 10,000 steps back to reexamine the fundamental mistakes of various problems in China.

The three of them talked a lot that night. In addition to the New Deal issues inside and outside the Customs, Song Biao also talked to Yinchang about the New Deal in the Zhili area. When talking about the New Deal in Zhili, they must talk about cotton, because Zhili is China.

If Zhili, the largest cotton-producing area, does not promote new cotton planting well, it will be difficult for China's textile industry to truly develop.

Zhili also has a very good industrial and mining foundation and rich coal and iron resources, which also requires large-scale development.

Song Biao and Yinchang talked a lot about these two things, and also talked about the issue of the Beiyang New Army. They definitely did not want to collide directly. They both needed a buffer zone in the middle, so they decided to leave the Luanzhou New Army alone.

It is not included in the scope of the Beiyang New Army and neither side controls it to avoid a direct collision between the Beiyang New Army and the Northeastern New Army in the Luanzhou area.

Since Zhang Zhidong represented the imperial court and the Queen Mother, Song Biao also discussed the issue of Outer Mongolia with Zhang Zhidong, hoping that the imperial court would give the Northeastern New Army certain authority to take charge of the Xilin Gol Prairie area, plus the three northeastern provinces in Heilongjiang Province.

The Hulunbuir Military and Animal Husbandry Bureau set up in the western region implemented a certain degree of supervision over Outer Mongolia to prevent Russia from continuing to penetrate Outer Mongolia. After Song Biao controlled a certain amount of real power, he could also negotiate with Russia on this matter.

The three of them talked until late at night, but ended the day's talks very amicably. As for Zaifeng's idea that he must take the opportunity to "inspect and review" the Northeastern New Army and take the opportunity to show his personal charm and the authority of the Qing royal family, Song Biao no longer wanted to

Forcibly objecting, as long as the Qing government guarantees that if Zaifeng is assassinated, he will never bear any responsibility, and the Qing government will not continue to pursue the case, then Zaifeng can inspect it however he wants, and he will never accompany him anyway.
