1890 King of Southeast Asia

On November 20, the Qing Empire issued an edict:

"Last year, an edict was issued to formulate the system of generals, and it was promulgated in advance for trial implementation. The annual preparations will be revised together with the cabinet system, and the cabinet will be established, and the trial implementation will be carried out in accordance with the temporary regulations..."

The Qing Emperor ordered Prince Qing to form a cabinet, and the responsible cabinet system was officially implemented.

"Prince Qing formed a cabinet?" Sun Zaizhi was shocked and almost dropped the cigarette in his hand.

"The day before yesterday morning, Zaifeng issued an edict to dissolve the Military Affairs Office, and the leading military minister, Prince Qing Yixin, was ordered to form the first cabinet." Lin Pingzhi was very surprised.

On this issue, the Qing Empire has been avoiding and avoiding it. Even though it has established a parliament (equivalent to the Council of State, the upper house of the parliament), it has never really given power.

Especially after Zaifeng took control of the military power, this process has become increasingly slow.

"Even the power has been given up, and the loan has been paid, right? Zaifeng is ready to give it a go, and the decisive battle is not far away." Sun Zaizhi thought for a while, nodded and sighed.

This is a sign of the coming storm!

"Almost, the specific amount is less than 4 million pounds. How long can this money last? At most three months, they can't fight anymore." Lin Pingzhi shook his head and didn't think there was a problem.

They are also fighting on multiple fronts. They have now gained the strategic initiative. At worst, they can drag it out.

They have not been idle in the past few months. They have liquidated many uncooperative corrupt officials and landlords, and obtained a lot of wealth and land.

It is precisely because of the liquidation that many landlords and gentry with guilty consciences have resisted, but they are not successful.

More and more cadres have arrived, and the basic organizational structure has been formed on the territory of the revolutionary army, and the ability to control the local area has been greatly enhanced.

Through the distribution of land, 200,000 people were recruited with lower military pay. These people have completed the initial training. They may not be able to go to the battlefield, but they have no problem staying in the local area to maintain order.

All kinds of prisoners were basically digested and absorbed. The main force of the revolutionary army of 80,000 people was divided into five divisions, completely liberated, and became a field mobile force.

The attack may still be dragged down by logistics, but the defense and counterattack are more than enough-the level of the newly built eight regiments.

"Report, the list of the court cabinet is out, and there is also a statement." The secretary knocked on the door and brought in a piece of paper.

The two of them locked their eyes on the paper, eager to know how this cabinet was formed.

If Zaifeng had a bigger picture, then they would need to plan well next, and wait until the training of 200,000 army troops is completed, which is around April next year, before launching a unified action.

"Huh?!" Sun Zaizhi looked at it twice and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"It's better not to do it. I think Zaifeng is confused." Lin Pingzhi's mouth corners slightly raised, and he said easily.

Minister of Finance Zai Ze, Minister of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce Pu Lun, Minister of Civil Affairs...

Assistant Minister of Cabinet Yuan Gongbao, Minister of Justice Xu Juren, Minister of Posts and Communications Sheng Xingsheng

There are thirteen cabinet ministers in total, three of whom are Han Chinese, and all of them are from the Beiyang faction. The Qingliu faction has been licking for so long, but has gained nothing.

Prince Qing, considering the balance, stuffed a large number of Han Chinese into the cabinet's official office, but unfortunately, no one will read them.

This list of ministers was discussed by Zaifeng, Yulong, Prince Qing, Zaixun, Zaitao, and Zaize.

Prince Qing and Zaize hoped to give more Han ministers, even to those who opposed constitutionalism, at least to do a good job on the surface.

Yulong and Zaixun and Zaitao firmly opposed it. Zaixun was transferred to the Minister of the Navy, and the Ministry of the Army was handed over to a constitutionalist Manchu noble to balance the dissatisfaction of the Han people.

But they made a small move, the actual management of the army was transferred to the Military Advisory Office, and Zaitao was fully responsible, and the Ministry of the Army only retained the right to allocate funds.

Even the payment of salaries was not the business of the Ministry of the Army. The Ministry of Finance gave the military expenses to the Ministry of the Army, and then the Military Advisory Office directly transferred them away, and the Ministry of the Army had no right to intervene in the middle.

With Zaixun as the Minister of the Navy, the military power of the entire empire is still firmly in their hands.

This made Sun Zaizhi and Lin Pingzhi not know what to say.

Do these people think that in this world, except for them, the rest of the people are blind and stupid and can't see anything?

But this is actually a kind of progress. At least, according to the charter, the power has been transferred from the young emperor to the responsible cabinet, and it has become a virtual monarch.

Zaifeng, the regent, did not serve in the new cabinet, but resigned as the regent and continued to serve as the commander-in-chief of the navy and army.

In this way, Mangui has achieved the division of power last night. The military power is controlled by the royal family and the political power is controlled by ordinary royal family or nobles.

"I think we don't have to wait for three months. When this news spreads, those who are wavering in the new army should make up their minds." Lin Pingzhi said with a smile.

"Yuan Gongbao refused so decisively before. I wonder what his mood is now? Haha! This despicable villain is completely tied to this carriage!" Sun Zaizhi laughed happily.

The two sides think about problems in fundamentally different ways, so they see different things.

Just as the revolutionary army did not consider that a large number of gentry and landlords would resist the normal liquidation, the Qing Empire did not consider whether such a cabinet would break the blurred boundaries?

Those who were originally hesitant between revolution and not were fascinated by a big pie called "preparatory constitutionalism" and stood on the shore to watch the show.

The emergence of the royal cabinet will not make people see their determination to establish a constitution, but only a corrupt group that will never let go of power.

This is the real reason for the demise of the Qing Empire. Otherwise, even if he didn't change and dragged it out, he could have delayed it for a while.

The biggest contributor to the demise of the Qing Empire - the Qing Empire ruling group.

"I want to send a telegram to denounce this kind of behavior of exercising autocracy under the banner of Fujian cooking!" Sun Zaizhi said with a turn of his eyes.

At present, neither side can do anything to the other. The preparations of the revolutionary army will have to wait until April next year at least, but the Qing Empire's approach gave him hope.

Just win over the hearts of the people, no! As long as they are neutral and impartial, then the Qing Empire will have to launch an attack, and the revolutionary army will have a chance to wait for the opportunity.

"Report, a call from headquarters." The secretary opened the door again.

Lin Pingzhi took the telegram and looked at it, and suddenly smiled at Sun Zaizhi:

"Isn't this a collision? I think you don't need to publish an article, and hold another press conference to talk about these two things together." Lin Pingzhi handed the telegram to Sun Zaizhi.

"To Tianjin? Oh... I understand." Sun Zaizhi understood at a glance that Nanhua was avoiding suspicion.

Use this thing as an introduction to have a big quarrel to avoid exposing the relationship between the two sides.

"I will hold a reception right now. Military preparations will depend on you."

"In addition, Shanghai is close to the sea after all. Because of the existence of concessions, the coastal defense force is not strong. If the court dispatches the navy, there may be considerable casualties. Do you think you should provide support as appropriate?"

Sun Zaizhi was worried about the situation in Shanghai and said to Lin Pingzhi.

"I will consider it. I will draw a few battalions from each division and draw personnel from the reserve to expand it into a Class B division and join the Second Army's combat sequence. The main force of the Yangtze River Navy will also be transferred there." Lin Pingzhi nodded.

"That's good..."
