The big indicator is whether it is up or not.

If you don’t go to court, you will be a fool.

But where did the empire have such an arrangement to attend court?

Zhang Binglin thought of a compromise. Every morning, Song Biao took turns to meet with some cabinet ministers in the General Office of Xuanzhengyuan, and made a week limit to ensure that every cabinet minister had one morning to meet the emperor and report on affairs.

This is simply to exhaust Emperor Song to death.

But as soon as I ascended the throne, I can only arrange this for the time being. Fortunately, the meeting time is relatively short. If you have something to discuss, you will discuss it for an hour, and if you have nothing to do, you will end with a symbolic meeting for half an hour.

This method is very rustic, because now is the era of telegrams and telephones. The secretariat around the emperor can directly obtain the latest government affairs from each department every day. After statistics and sorting the secretariat, it will be submitted to the emperor for review according to the priorities of the matter.

If the emperor thinks things are important, he can ask the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Minister to pay attention. If it is not important, then wait for the Prime Minister and the Cabinet Minister to deal with it. If you are satisfied, you will not speak; if you are not satisfied, you will learn two lessons.

sentence.

Therefore, the pro-policy system designed by Zhang Binglin is very rustic and formalistic. Song Biao simply treats it as a tea party and holds a small-scale symposium with several cabinet ministers every morning to win over feelings and so on.

By this period, after a year of running-in and adaptation, the imperial cabinet government basically entered a relatively formal operation stage, which was no longer as messy as before. In addition, most cabinet ministers were from the Northeast Group and the New Deal Power National Assembly.

The old bureaucratic origin of the provinces was also a way for the former dynasty officials and representatives of the main regions of the Restoration Party to combine with each other. The central and provincial politics were basically moving forward steadily according to the rhythm of the previous dynasty. The army was stable and politically stable, but the country's awareness of reform and administration

It is just a more modern spirit in management and a more complete system.

The tax authorities of the State Administration of Taxation have penetrated into the county level, northeast, Zhili, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have reached the town level. The government's finances have improved day by day in the past few months, but although the General Administration of Customs and the actual control of the customs

The power is still in the hands of British and foreign employees. Song Biao is not in a hurry about this and will talk about it after the official negotiations with the UK are over in the future.

Everything is moving forward in an orderly manner. Even various work plans can satisfy Song Biao, and even Tang Shaoyi and other cabinet ministers cannot satisfy Tang Shaoyi. At least it is stable, orderly and progressive than the Qing Dynasty.

Ouyang Geng is in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and is reaching an agreement with Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and other countries on the final reciprocity treaty, especially the most pressuring against Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Among the Eight-Nation Alliance, these two are pure soy sauce and things that are free to take advantage.

Both Japan and the United States have given up the Boxer Indemnities and various privileges stolen in China. Of course, the rest must be pressed against Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

After all the small countries were dealt with, it created an international fait accompli, and the cabinet government then went to force Britain, France, Germany and Russia.

The Grand Duke of Mikhail, Russia, had not left Beijing yet. He came to Beijing in advance to congratulate Song Biao on his claim to become emperor. On the grounds that Russia supported China to win the war, he hoped that Song Biao would agree to Russia's request and continue to sublease Lushun Port to

Russia also extended the lease period in Lushun and Dalian for another fifty years.

On this basis, Russia can refer to the precedents of the three eastern provinces and give up other privileges in China.

Song Biao did not agree because it was impossible, but he did not have to turn against Russia for this.

France didn't say anything.

Germany is still waiting and watching, and it is possible to return the control of Shandong to China, but the premise is that China and Germany must at least sign a Strategic Reciprocity Treaty similar to that between China and the United States, and retain the right to lease the Qingdao Port, and the rest are all

It can be compared to the United States.

Britain retreated half and held half. The Shanghai Concession and Hong Kong lease rights are absolutely not returned. Others can be compared with the United States, but they are unwilling to give up the Boxer Indemnity, and Weihaiwei is unwilling to negotiate a settlement. The concessions in Tianjin and Hankou can be returned.

, the right to travel inland river is hoped to be retained.

The new covenant negotiation will be a very long issue, and Song Biao also knew that it would be impossible to resolve it immediately. He just waited slowly, observing the changes in the situation behind the scenes.

Song Biao officially ascended the throne on July 15, and the empire was about to celebrate the first anniversary of its founding on August 1. The day of ascending the throne was passed and legislation was determined as the day of the liberation of China, and all regions should celebrate it everywhere.

The next morning, Song Biao happened to hold a meeting of the Central Military Department to formally summarize the Sino-Japanese War of 1911, and formulate a new comprehensive development program to guide the development plan of the Chinese military forces in the next ten years.

The meeting was held in the conference hall of Xuanzheng Park and officially started at 9 a.m. Before that, Navy Minister Cheng Biguang, Army Minister Shu Fangde and Second Army Governor Duan Qirui arrived at Song Biao's imperial study room first, and

I met Song Biao in the side hall of Yihua Hall on the east side of the Imperial Study.

Song Biao was on the low couch, leaning on the coffee table on the low couch to read the latest information and information. The three of them entered the side hall, bowed to the emperor, and waited respectfully for the order.

Song Biao was seeing the test data of the new artillery in Germany and Benxi Arsenal. This part is very important and will determine China's technology of 75mm field guns, light field guns and light cavalry guns in the next twenty years, for 88mm and 105mm

Light and heavy field cannons with caliber also have crucial value.

Since 1906, the Far East Arsenal of the Northeast Army has taken the initiative to jointly invest with Germany to develop a new type of long-process gun control retractor. The Northeast has invested funds and sent people to participate in the development. Germany has contributed its efforts. Germany was not keen on this at first, but

With the successful development of the new body-controlled retractor, the experimental test of the new artillery is significantly better than the short-stroke retractor used in Germany in the previous use of artillery. Both sides conducted a large number of tests at Krupp and Benxi Arsenal, and will

This new type of retractor is commonly used in medium and low caliber artillery, and new 75mm and 88mm artillery are jointly developed.

Although this technology is not available in the Sino-Japanese War of 1911, it will play a very critical role in the future development of artillery technology between China and Germany. It can be said that the foundation of artillery technology in the next twenty years will be laid here. (Unfinished)
