In 1892, the Spring Festival of the 18th year of the Guangxu period, happy events spread frequently to me, to this country, to the royal family.

The newly-King Ningfei Guarjia Youlan was determined to be pregnant by the Imperial Hospital. Not only me, but even the old concubine in Prince Chun's mansion followed him with joy. Nara ran into the palace and pulled Youlan to look left and right. The whole harem was full of joy. Her personality was completely different from her sister. She was a little serious and restrained, but she could tell that she liked Youlan very much, maybe it was because of the prince who had not yet been born.

Because she has sufficient experience in giving birth and taking care of her children, after my repeated requests, she finally agreed to move into the palace after the prince's birth. I also started to ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare to give her a title. The title should fully consider her identity as the emperor's birth mother, and also consider the fact that Prince Chunxian should not be given the title of emperor. I need such an old lady in the palace to show that I, as an emperor, is not only a reformer of the system, but also a defender of tradition.

Youlan's status has been significantly improved. She was designated as Concubine Ning as soon as she entered the palace. She was immersed in the joy of becoming a mother every day. Hepin Aiko, who lives with her, was also envious. Every night, she entangled me and kept asking for excessive demands. She seemed to want to have a child too much.

Although Youlan had a good relationship with her, she could not bear the trouble of singing every night, so I asked them to officially move to Dongliu Palace to live.

Of course, other women are inevitably jealous. Every night they are envied by a group of women who are very envious of young orchids. At night, although I have the secret recipe of Lao Hu to help, I am always mentally exhausted. Finally, after such a debauchery, I officially welcomed Prince Lao Chun’s concubine Nara. I always refused to give it to the name of Nara. He said that all officials can be honored by the emperor’s biological mother later, so as to show that it is not contrary to the intention of Prince Chun’s virtuous. I had no choice but to agree.

Moreover, Nara did not live in Chuxiu Palace. Although she often came here when she came to the palace to pay her respects to her sister, she chose the side hall of Cining Palace to show the intention of informal empress dowager. In short, she adhered to her principles and bottom line, so I had to let her go. After she entered the palace, she also adjusted her residences for the concubines. Empress Longyu still lived in Zhongcui Palace, Zhenfei and two sisters lived in Jingyang Palace, Ningfei Youlan lived in Chengqian Palace, Zhaofei Yanyan was good at fine brushwork, which was very popular with me. She lived in Yonghe Palace. Dexin's two daughters Kangbin Zhiyi and Debin Zhihua were good at playing and singing music, so

I liked Guangxu when he was married before, but because Cixi was worried that the two women would be too beautiful and would separate her niece Jingfen (Longyu), she broke up. Therefore, this time I realized my dream for Guangxu, who was possessed by me. The two sisters lived in Jingren Palace together. Wang Yi was so smart outside, but she was a little sarcastic, and was more likely to be shy. She was very kind-hearted and timid, so she was a concubine Zhuang. She let her live in Yanqi Palace. In this way, the East Six Palaces all had their own masters, and the harem was a brand new atmosphere. After handling government affairs every day, the pleasant nightlife in the harem was also enjoyed.

In terms of national civil affairs, the formulation of the five-year economic plan for national and provincial, provincial, prefectures and counties is also being formulated in full swing. My plan is to learn from the UK comprehensively and introduce a large-scale modern industrial system, and I will spend no matter how much money. Even if the entire country is deeply imprinted with Britain, I will have the opportunity to slowly eliminate these imprints in the future. It is very simple. In this industrialized world, China's tradition of establishing a country with agriculture is far from keeping up with the times. The price I have to pay will be high. The British will inevitably demand a superior position that surpasses any great power. In this way, I can hide under this big tree and bury myself to develop myself. When one day the wings are full and the big tree grows, that is me, and it is time for China to break out of its cocoon. Of course, in order to avoid being completely controlled by the British, I must find another competitor for him in Europe - Germany.

The purpose of civil affairs and economy was determined in this way, and exchanged industrialization at the lowest possible price. In terms of military, Li Hongzhang was busy formulating a new national military system. The local garrison system of the Eight Banners and Green Camps in the past had inherent defects and its combat effectiveness was basically close to zero. This is also the reason why when provinces were called on to train new troops, the coastal provinces chose to recruit new troops instead of innovating on the basis of the old army. The main force of the country, the Huai Army, Li Hongzhang's personal color was too strong, so I handed over the sorting of military system to him who was in Beijing to complete the nationalization and royalization of the army. The new army in various places was also the national army in name, but it inevitably brought local colors, which was also a place to change. Otherwise, once the country changes in the future, warlords everywhere could be expected.

"Each army and town, all the Qing army and soldiers serve the royal family in one go. This is the purpose of our Qing Dynasty forever." The first sentence of the "Qing Military Law" drafted by Li Hongzhang is this. When I visited him at the military headquarters, he read it out and I listened with satisfaction.

"The Emperor, the Huai Army and local armies have been traced back to the past dynasties of China. The military seems to be divided into local areas. I think if it is a hard split, it may be worrying about weakening combat power." When I proposed to split the armies regardless of their regions into a national army, Li Hongzhang put forward his own opinions.

I shook my hand to stop him from speaking, stretched out four fingers and said, "What Mr. Shaoquan is worried about is reasonable. However, there are four reasons why I want to form an army like this. First, building an army with the region, leading soldiers will easily develop arrogance. If soldiers are transferred from their hometowns, morale will also decline, and at the same time, they will also be exclusion. Second, commanding soldiers and generals will be able to become bigger in a long time. You, Mr. Li, must have heard many people impeach your Huai Army, which is your army of Li Hongzhang, not my army." He smiled and pressed him to kneel down in fear and said, "Don't panic, I trust you. Mr. Shaoquan is very clear about his loyalty to the country, but I can't guarantee that Zhang Hongzhang and Wang Hongzhang will be as loyal as Mr. Shaoquan in the future."

He smiled and closed his fingers and said, "Thirdly, the military personnel are controlled by the town general. If you say so, you will receive as much as you want. Often, you will be inadequate. You will often deduct military salaries and even plunder the local area. This is also the accumulated problems of previous dynasties. I want to solve them in this dynasty. Fourthly, the army is nationalized, and all the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty protect the territory and the people for the Qing Dynasty, not just for their hometown. You must remember this."

"The Emperor's Holy Wisdom..." Li Hongzhang wiped the sweat from his head and hesitated: "If it is frequently mobilized, it will be very chaotic to implement it. Now there are more than one million soldiers across the country. If all of them are broken up and reorganized, it will take a lot of time and money."

"So you have to make a plan. I also know the difficulties, so I want a five-year military plan, not to start immediately. If you want to do this, Li Hongzhang, you remember that there are four more things. First, there are only one supreme commander in all the armies across the country, that is, I. Beijing wants to build a command system that can command the provinces across the country, and it is instant command. The past method of the Ministry of War 800 miles in a hurry to submit war reports has become outdated. Therefore, I have assigned the Ministry of War to you Li Hongzhang's military headquarters. From next year, you will remember to know that Zhang Zhidong will establish telegrams between provinces, between provinces and Beijing.

The route, anywhere in the country, Beijing's decision will be able to reach any place in each province in two days." Seeing that he was about to speak, he raised his hand to stop and continued, "I know what you want to say. I told you, don't be afraid of spending money. Any money you can make up for if you win a battle. If you are defeated, you will be compensated for more than this money. Secondly, the Eight Banners Green Camps in various places will be reorganized. What should I do if I change it? Conduct recruitment and first training. Those who have military merits must be promoted to manage first training. The military headquarters will establish a training department to specialize in new recruit training. The conscription system must be well established. If you prepare it, submit it and I will issue an edict."

He walked a few steps behind his back and looked at Li Hongzhang, who was holding the record, and said, "Third, the railway is something that the logistics department and Zhang Zhidong end is troublesome. What I mean is to form a railway department. I think Zhan Tianyou, the China Railway Company, is very good. Since he is a talented man, I have to use it indiscriminately and let him be the minister. This year, the railway from Beijing to Dihua has been built to Datong. I think I have to increase my investment. Don't worry about money. Learn to learn Zaiying and establish a railway company. Those merchants from all over the country can invest in it. Anyone who has money can give them money. I will lend them dividends in the future. You also know that the Japanese people who serve the Congress are all the merchants throwing money into it, but there is still no return.

I don’t believe that our great Chinese people are not as good as those who are foreign to the small country? The national railway network needs to be planned. The purpose of railways in military use is not just to send coal to ironclad ships. I am in Beijing, and if all provinces in the country have railways, Beijing’s heavenly soldiers can take the train to any place within a few days... Of course, building railways is not a matter of overnight. This thing also requires a long-term plan. It may be longer than five years, and I can afford to wait for ten or fifteen years, but I just need to do it as soon as possible. Although your seat is in the military headquarters, you know that Prince Gong is busy with flag affairs, the military and civil affairs of the country, and you, the prime minister, should also be more attentive. Don’t learn from Master Weng, you will know that you are busy fighting in the nest all day long."

I gave him some time to digest my words and waited for a while and said, "Fourth, the country should establish a command center. Some veterans at home and generals who will be sent to study abroad in the future, form a military consulting office and play a role as a staff officer. In the future, military affairs will also be of advice. Li Bingheng is on the logistics department, so I don't worry about him. Zaiying has set up a company specializing in purchasing arms. Your military department must also have a corresponding department to manage the purchased military and the affairs of each army. This is also a major event. In this way, the military department can have a rough estimate of the military strength in various places, so that they will not blindly get involved in the future if there is something wrong in the future."

After finally finishing writing, Li Hongzhang gasped and said, "Your Majesty, I am really eye-opening today. The emperor is proficient in both civil and military skills, which is really a blessing for my Qing Dynasty. I will ask someone to discuss what the emperor has assigned to me. I just mentioned the matter of the telegram cable. I wanted to say that I heard the emperor talk about the radio incident before. I asked someone to find information and have someone to conduct an experiment in Beijing. It seems to be effective, but it is sometimes effective. I am thinking, if I can rely on this thing in the future, can I slow down the construction of the telegram cable? After all, this thing saves much money than the telegram cable."

"Oh? Shaoquan is really neat in his work!" I felt excited in my heart and looked up and said, "Slow construction can be slow construction, but it will still be built in the future. Radio is good. I am worried that it will not be kept secret. Everyone can accept this thing..." My mind moved and I clapped my hands and said, "Shaoquan, take me to see the radio." Without waiting for Li Hongzhang to answer, I said to the outside: "Kou Liancai, be ready to change my clothes for me, find someone to pass the imperial edict to Prince Su, and let him wait at Xihua Gate!"

Because it is said that when Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen left the palace from Donghuamen, because Donghuamen was an unlucky place, and usually he left the palace from Xihuamen.

Half an hour later, I, who had changed into a silly clothes, and Li Hongzhang, who was also in a silly clothes, met Prince Su Shanqi. Under the escort of the guards, I got on the carriage. Following Li Hongzhang's instructions, I soon came to the military headquarters experimental center located in the Pig Hutong. The person in charge of the test was a young man named Ximen Cong. When we entered the yard tightly defended by the infantry yamen, there was a noise coming from it.

"Ximen Qing! Ximen kills pigs! Ximen butcher, the silly old di next door scolds you, Lord Ximen!" A soldier shouted inside, making the young man who was greeting me blush with a white face.

"Li...Li Zhongtang..." Ximen Cong didn't know me, but just tried to explain to Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang whispered, "The Holy Lord is here, don't be rude!", frowned and bowed to me.

I shook my hand and said, "It's okay, that young man inside is very lively. It's okay to be more lively in research. Your name is Ximen Cong? Why do you call me Ximen Butcher inside?"

A few jokes made the young man in front of him relax and his expression gradually returned to normal. Someone had already quickly silenced the people inside, so Ximen Cong explained to me that this place was called Pig Slayer Hutong, and the person in charge was naturally called Ximen Pig Slayer. As for Ximen Qing, the celebrity from the ancestor of the Ximen family is really famous.

I laughed loudly and raised my hand and said, "Let's go and take me to see your stuff."

One sending a test machine, one receiving a test machine, and a roll of paper. This is a simple test equipment. Of course, I can't recognize where the two big iron lumps in front of me are, or Ximen Cong explained that this was just bought from a special channel through Germany, and there are two other ones next door for testing.

I asked a few questions about the current experiments of these people. It turned out that they had compiled a simple rule. Three consecutive points are Ximen, and five consecutive points are pig killing. However, because the signal is difficult to accept, the signal is often sometimes not. It took only two days to succeed in the first trial. The next door is Zheng Di. Both of them are from Hebei and have a good relationship, so they usually have no worries when they joke. It was just a coincidence that today, when the emperor was in person, the signal suddenly appeared.

"The emperor is as blessed as heaven and the red-haired..." After hearing Ximen Cong's explanation, Shanqi and Li Hongzhang couldn't help but sigh: "As soon as the saint arrives, this signal will be available. This is the supreme blessing of my emperor..."

"Yeah." Because there were low-level soldiers present, although I felt a little disgusted, I still calmly flattered. I had an idea in my heart. Of course, I know the principle of radio, why can't I teach these people? I said without saying a word: "Zai Bing, please serve these two big guys carefully and take them back to the palace. I'll see for two days."

I laughed in my heart, you will wait for me to give you a lecture in two days. Of course, I don’t need to study these two iron lumps.

In the palace, I fiddled with these two big things and found out why this thing was not effective at the time. The receiving machine had no antenna, so I put a silver chopstick on the receiving machine, and it was obvious that I would not lose the signal. (This is true in history)

Two days later, I summoned Ximen Cong and several of their researchers to demonstrate my discovery to them. In their surprised and respectful eyes, I analyzed to them the basic principles of radio and the working principles of transceivers. Of course, I also commended their genius actions of self-written radio language, but I still reminded them of the importance of confidentiality.

At the same time, the major discoveries on the radio prompted me to make up my mind that since I can bring China the technology that is ahead of the world on radio for several years, why can't I give my country more help in other aspects?

So, Beijing opened a radio plant, led by Ximen Cong, who specialized in studying how to make radio portable. My first goal was to install it on the navy's battleship. Think about it, with a convenient unified command fleet and a group of combat fleets commanded by flags in the thick smoke, how much advantage should it be?

Of course, I also did not forget to teach Ximen Cong a few lessons about radio principles such as long-wave and short-wave in the future. I believe that in the near future, this guy will become my communications expert.

After the Chinese New Year, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce spent the first quarter to sort out and promulgate the Five-Year Plan of the Qing Dynasty. In this plan, by 1897, China's heavy industrial system will basically complete the framework laying, and railways will be connected to all coastal provinces across the country and Anhui and Hubei along the Yangtze River. All border provinces must lay telegraph lines. Light weapons such as pistols, rifles and machine guns, and cannons can be produced by themselves, and the shipbuilding industry must be able to manufacture their own light cruisers and some experimental battleships. The mining industry and machinery industry must have the prototype of industrialization. At the same time, in order to increase people's income, the state encourages industry and commerce and private capital to invest in industry and other measures. I also personally issued an imperial edict, and any private capital entering the industry will be exempted for five years, and the factory owner will be given a tribute to birth.

And because of the continuous report of the China Times on nearly crazy national gambling in Japan, I have added new measures. Any local gentry investment industry scale of more than one million taels will be summoned to Beijing in person. If he wants, I can also use the royal public opinion to have a certain proportion of dry shares. Correspondingly, the factory can be labeled with the word "royal".

At the same time, in my special imperial edict during the Spring Festival, I pointed out the national purpose of increasing profits to the people, and the explanation of why the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was changed to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. China has always ranked at the bottom of the list of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. The country values ​​agriculture, suppresses commerce, and has caused the people to be poor. Therefore, in order to demonstrate the purpose of increasing profits to the country and the people, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was changed to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce.

In my speech to more than 200 officials at all levels who came to study and live in the UK, I also emphasized two points: First, I work hard to learn advanced technology and civil affairs models, especially emerging government departments. Everyone should think about what departments should be added after returning to China and what role should they play? Second, I should know how to make choices, learn good things, and know how to distinguish bad things. The Qing Dynasty is different from Britain and cannot copy everything. In addition, in Britain, every move represents the country and the court, so that we must have integrity and not fall into the demeanor of a great country.

After more than 20 days of ocean voyage, more than 200 officials arrived in the UK and began their study career.

The British side showed great interest in my major reform move. At the same time, a welcome group formed by members of the House of Commons, arrived in Pthmouth in person to welcome the study and inspection team from the distant empire and allies. After a brief welcome banquet, they quickly assigned to government agencies at all levels to study and work according to their duties. They also included five people in a group, each group was divided into translators, and enthusiastically explained the various systems of Britain to them.

At the same time, Britain was also enthusiastically discussing whether to send a British advisory group to the young emperor in the East? If the master of the East was willing, the British Empire would incorporate China's huge body into the track of the modern country as soon as possible.

This is the original words of the Times. When Mi Ji presented the newspaper into the palace through Zaiying's relationship, I smiled and crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash can. Of course I don't want it. I never thought that the so-called Western democracy is suitable for China. In my opinion, the consequences of pan-democracy are at most India in the future. It is even worse, because there are many Chinese people, and to a certain extent, there are many fools. Of course, China does not lack ambitious people. A few ambitious people and a huge foolish class will cause the country to fall into a chaotic cycle.

Of course, this does not mean that I completely exclude democracy. In the future, when I get older, I will consider a constitutional system with Chinese characteristics. But it is by no means now. Now I must centralize power. Only by centralizing power can this country move forward according to my track, rather than stagnating in the so-called quagmire of democracy.
