1890 King of Southeast Asia

The dark current of the Qing Empire's Beijing Division continued until the 14th, and it did not reach a unified opinion.

However, the inaction is only the central court. In the local area, the ninth town of the new town has established field defense work in Langfang.

The subsequent three towns have also arrived one after another. If they accidentally hit them, the two heavy soldiers of Jingshi and Langfang are arranged.

Because Yang Shizheng was imprisoned, it caused the dissatisfaction of the Minister of the Han Dynasty, and the candidate for the Governor of Zhili with the Minister of Manchuria, which led to the fact that the candidate for the new Governor of Zhili has not been set.

The Minister of the Han Dynasty was repeatedly rejected and finally made concessions. He hoped that the Governor of the Tieliang Department and the Minister of Beiyang were rejected.

This kind of behavior that did not give the face at all made the Minister of Han feel threatened, so he stopped giving up, and the battle between the two sides became more and more violent.

For a while, the threat of South China was not so important ...

On the night of September 14th, Beijing Division, Yuanfu.

Under the night, several figures ignored the curfew and sounded Yuanfu's door.

"Master Tang, you can count it! My master is waiting for you, please come in." The small door opened, and the second housekeeper of Yuanfu was in his head.

Tang Shaochuan nodded, and his face didn't speak, and under the leadership of the second housekeeper of Yuanfu, he entered the main hall.

"Shaochuan, how?" Master Yuan was sitting in a unable to drink tea that had no taste. Seeing that Tang Shaochuan arrived, he quickly got up and greeted him.

"Master Gong Bao, we have trouble." Tang Shaochuan stood at the door and took a breath.

"South China is unwilling to let go? Beiyang's feelings are ignored?" Master Yuan could have expected it long ago, but still had unrealistic hope.

After all for decades of old nests, political status does not mean that it can be changed.

Beiyang is a first -class power of the Qing Empire, but lost Tianjin Wei, even if it was transferred to other places, he could only be considered a second -rate forces.

He still wants to enter the cabinet!

"South China has a condition. If you want to stop the war, in addition to the conditions proposed before the war, you must also give Tianjin Guard to South China." Tang Shaochuan took a cup of tea and drank it.

"Is there no room for negotiation?" Master Yuan closed his eyes and said painfully.

"Lin Pingzhi proposed to exchange Tianjin with the east of the Yangtze River in Jinling, or exchange Yangcheng, provided that we can get British France." Tang Shaochuan did not dare to look at Master Yuan.

"Well ~ What about the property of Beiyang in Tianjin?" Master Yuan sighed, and the sorrow on his face couldn't open.

Master Yuan knew clearly that these two areas were terrible, and the next mediation still expected British and French.

If you want to deceive Nanhua and let him receive the two places, Britain and France will not give up, but it is not to Nanhua, but not to give up the Qing Empire. Maybe it is another battle and pay more.

"The official property is confiscated, but the private property can be retained, but I have to go to Tianjin to apply for a property certificate. After the war is completed, it will be confiscated after this time. Acquisition.

Tang Shaochuan went to do two things. The first is to test Nanhua's tone to see if there is a chance to get Beiyang to get back to Tianjin Wei. Essence

"Machine Bureau, Shipyard ..."

"These are all within the range of confiscation, but Lin Pingzhi said that after the war, it can be sold to us at a discount." Tang Shaochuan said that he was angry.

After all, this was originally his Beiyang industry. Nanhua attacked in and snatched. As a result ...

The most important thing is that this war has little relationship with him, but the result has become the biggest victim.

Tianjin defended. If an official of the Beiyang Department was sent to the negotiations and signing the contract, it was not allowed to take the defeated black pot on Beiyang and clarify the department.

"This is a trivial matter. Tianjin Wei has lost, and the remaining supplies of the arsenal in various places are not abundant. I have discussed with the Xu Ju people and moved the Machinery Bureau to the three provinces." Master Yuan was not too disappointed, just nodded.

"Three provinces? Are we still Beiyang?" Tang Shaochuan stood in surprise.

"The Governor of Zhili and the Minister of the Beiyang, the head of Xinjiang, sounds good, where is the future? Baoding Mansion! Where is there?"

"At this point, when the strong man breaks his wrist, he is constantly being chaotic. Instead of waiting for his mother -in -law to take the knife, it is better to come by ourselves!"

"Some of the less important places, Zaiyu stared at the death, should give up, the three provinces, Shandong, Shanghai are stable, and other people are abandoned."

"Zaiyu will definitely not be so easy to let go. Use the two rivers to trade with him to trade with him. As long as you survive this year, the situation will stabilize next year, and then pictures."

Master Yuan was glory and magnificent.

The sphere of influence of Beiyang is not small. The traditional northern areas are almost all the spheres of power in Beiyang, and it has a great influence on the Liangjiang River. Shanghai is also a traditional industrial base in Beiyang.

After losing Tianjin Wei, Beiyang has been found to be unstable, so that the strength has reduced its strength even after cutting.

However, if Zai Ye chased Beiyang again, he would not agree with the civil and military in the full dynasty.

Tang Shaochuan looked at Master Yuan in a dumbfounded manner. At this time, Master Yuan had the state of the small station period, full of blood and magnificent atmosphere.

When Master Yuan saw that Tang Shaochuan did not speak, he thought he didn't understand. In order to appease him, he slowly explained (after all, he was promoted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Shangshu, uh, and Han Shangshu, and he was already a senior official.)

"Shaochuan! Now that things have come to this, it is meaningless for us to control the north and south of the Yellow River. We might as well use the Beiyang brand while it is still useful."

"Locally, if we control Shandong and the three provinces, we also have the capital to make a comeback. If we hold Shanghai, we will have the financial resources to continue to develop industry. In addition, the Fourth Town controls Shanhaiguan, and our Beiyang is still an important force."

"There are still a group of ministers and assistant ministers like me in the court, and we can promote new people. We just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. When we find a suitable opportunity, we can also get back everything we have lost."

Of course, Mr. Yuan's words did not mean to rebel.

A force needs a large number of officials. This is also the reason why Mr. Yuan controls the three provinces and Shandong. There is a pit for a governor and a governor here, plus the high-ranking positions of the three provinces, which can train a lot of people.

"It's good to do so. Anyway, the current situation is unclear. Let Zaifeng mess around. When he offends the public, see what he says." Tang Shaochuan nodded.

Although in this way, Beiyang will degenerate from a major force that controls a country to a local force, there is really no better way.

You can't really pull out the six Beiyang towns to fight against the new eight towns, right? That would be a rebellion. Not to mention that Beiyang has suffered a heavy blow, even if there is no Beiyang, it cannot be fought.

The foundation of the Qing Empire and Beiyang is the landlord bureaucracy and gentry capital. They were eager to make limited reforms before, and the constitutional preparation stabilized them.

At this time, Beiyang wants to rebel, and its own people can't handle it.

…………

On the 15th, the court was still arguing endlessly, but Mr. Yuan wrote a letter regardless of it, impeaching four Beiyang officials of the third rank or above.

The Beiyang censors also output crazily, impeaching hundreds of Beiyang local officials with very precise charges such as "corruption".

"What is this? What's wrong?" Zaifeng didn't quite understand Beiyang's operation for a while.

Prince Qing understood what Mr. Yuan meant.

This is to dismantle Beiyang by hand!

This is not what Prince Qing wants to see. Once the Beiyang is dismantled, won't the Qing Empire, which is already divided, become even more chaotic?

It's funny to say that the Qing Empire has carried out four military reforms in fifty years, but none of them has touched the foundation.

Every time the reform ends, the imperial government coaxes the big warlords, and the big warlords coax the small warlords. The central government must rely on major political forces to rule the local areas.

Beiyang's doing this will inevitably lead to chaos, but it will also leave many positions vacant, and Prince Qing can sell these positions for a good price.

Thinking of this, he didn't stop it, and he couldn't stop it. Everyone is waiting to get a piece of the pie.

"Mr. Yuan is worthy of being a role model of loyalty and patriotism. Mr. Yuan's eldest son seems to have no official position yet? Why not choose a department first and be the head of the department?" Zaifeng reacted and didn't care whether Mr. Yuan had a conspiracy.

Anyway, these positions are vacant, and he can fill a few of his own people to go up, and his control over the court will be upgraded to another level.

As for the holes in this position, which position doesn't have a hole left by the predecessor? It won't affect you.

"I don't deserve the praise from the Regent. I have another memorial." Lord Yuan took out a memorial and read it out.

"I, Yuan Gongbao, the Minister of the Army and the Minister of Military Affairs, recommend XX as the Governor of Shandong, and XX as the Governor of Jilin..."

Lord Yuan recommended more than ten positions in one breath, reading out the military and political positions of the three provinces and Shandong, including some people who had just been impeached.

However, Lord Yuan kept all kinds of supervisory positions, as well as some positions with little power but good benefits.

"What is this idea of ​​Yuan Gongbao? Let's change it. Anyway, I won't lose." Zaifeng thought silently.

"Good! Lord Yuan is thoughtful in recommending talents. Our dynasty appoints people based on their merits. Everyone should discuss all the positions recommended by Lord Yuan and come up with a set of rules." Zaifeng shouted to the ministers.

The civil and military officials in the court could not help but feel a sense of grief when they heard this. Even the huge Beiyang collapsed in an instant, so what about them who were not even as good as Beiyang?

However, this emotion only lasted for a few minutes, and everyone started a fierce competition. After Beiyang left, there were many positions left, and many people were tempted.

In return, Mr. Yuan's recommendation was passed without any danger.

…

Beijing, Baimi Xie Street.

"Cough, cough, cough! Too." Zhang Nanpi was lying in bed, and his subordinate, an official, was reporting to him what Mr. Yuan had done today.

"Prince Qing, didn't you stop it?" Zhang Nanpi widened his eyes after hearing this.

"No." The official thought for a while.

"God, don't bless me Daqing!" Zhang Nanpi took a deep breath.

"Why do you say that, sir? Once the Beiyang government falls..."

"Stupid, we are still fighting, and we are all gnawing at the bones thrown by the Beiyang government, and we can't see the situation clearly!"

"Please teach me, sir." The official stood up and bowed.
