Chapter 43: Road Protection Trend
Qiao Lao said that the general mentality of Chinese bureaucrats was revealed. The constitutional party all hoped to gain the power to lead reform through constitutionalism and wanted to control the regime through peaceful means. The emergence of the royal cabinet completely ruined this hope. Among the thirteen cabinets, nine Manchus, seven of which were royal families, were royal families, and no one could bear it. It was obvious that it was like the world swore that the Qing court believed in or the Manchus themselves, and the Manchus who were related by blood. The Manchus and Han dynasties, who had been shouting for hundreds of years, became a joke in the face of cruel reality.
Mr. Qiao held the newspaper tightly in his hand and did not say a word, but his heart was far from as calm as he seemed. The old man was not as good as he was in the officialdom, and he remained peaceful and peaceful until he retired and returned home. He had never experienced too many twists and turns. If he thought that the old man was mediocre, he would be very wrong. Mingzhe was the most important science in the officialdom. In the turbulent Wanqing officialdom, the old man had already mastered a pair of fire-eye gold.
It can be said that Qiao Yu knew that the harm of the royal cabinet was based on the knowledge of later generations, but the old man relied entirely on his understanding of the Qing dynasty and opposition. Now there are three major forces in the Qing Dynasty, one is the court, one is the revolutionary party, and the other is the constitutional party. Among these three, the constitutional party truly controls the real power of local power, representing the power of the gentry and landlords who have been continuing for thousands of years. Although this force is huge, the problem is the dispersion. There is no real leader, nor a unified program. We can only rely on relying on other forces to protect our own interests.
As soon as the royal cabinet came out, it was undoubtedly telling these people that the imperial court did not welcome you. Then these people had to support the revolutionary party, and the rest of the situation was clear, and the Qing Dynasty would die.
"Dad, you'd better take a break first and get tired of driving along the way!"
"No, Shunqing, Shiqing, please follow me. I have a few words to explain!" Qiao Yu and the elder brother guessed the old man's thoughts and hurriedly accompanied the old man to the room.
"Dad, just say whatever you have!" Qiao Guangyuan nodded slightly at Qiao Yu: "Shunqing, you are indeed extraordinary. You can see so long, which is very good. Things are probably as you expected. However, you are a little too anxious to make such a struggle in Chongqing now. Making too many enemies is not a good thing. Dad has only one experience in his life as an official, that is, he will never be a leader. Protecting himself is much more important than eliminating the enemy. Tongmenghui and Ge Laohui are in Chongqing for one day. The government will use your strength. Now that you expel them, you will become a major concern of the court!"
Qiao Yu was about to explain his thoughts to his father, but the old man waved his hand and continued, "Shunqing, I guess your idea, but I just want to gain more power as much as possible before the chaos comes. In fact, it can be done by other methods. There is no need to be so hard. I have already prepared a letter to Zhao Erfeng, saying that I want to see my son and let him take a vacation to your second brother as soon as possible. In addition, I found someone to tell Zhao Erfeng about the news of the turmoil in Chongqing. How do you think Zhao Erfeng should deal with it?"
When Qiao Yu heard the old man's words, he thought for a moment and his eyes lit up: "Dad, if I were Zhao Erfeng, I would ask my second brother to lead troops to stabilize the situation in Chongqing. In this way, we can use the power of our family. The second brother himself is brave in fighting and is the best candidate to guard Chongqing!"
"That's right, this will completely make your second brother play the bad face. If you play the bad face, you don't have to rush to have a quarrel with Zhu Youji and others. But it doesn't matter. Zhu Youji is also an incompetent person and will only try his best to cover it up. However, he doesn't dare to joke about his wealth and life. He will only try to exaggerate the dangers of Chongqing, so that your second brother may be even more likely to come back! It's not wrong for you to take this step, but you have to pay attention to this. There are many capable people in the world who come forward. If you want to move forward, you will inevitably confront these people head-on. The methods of these people should not be underestimated. If you are not careful, problems will inevitably arise. You must be very cautious!"…
Qiao Yu knew that his father was giving an opportunity in person. He listened humbly and knew very well that he still had a huge gap with those famous figures in history. Even if he could gain an advantage in the general trend with the insights of later generations, he did not know many confrontations hidden behind him. As the old man said, if he was not careful, he would wait to be sold!
My father could move his second brother Qiao Zhen back without hesitation. This skill is absolutely extraordinary. In the future, if Yuan Datou wants to plot against him, he may not be able to escape the old man's eyes!
"Dad, please give me more advice in the future. If you always stay in charge, your child will be more courageous!"
Qiao Guangyuan sighed slightly: "Oh, the Qing Dynasty is over. I have buried most of the people in the loess. I have to lose my loyalty and righteousness. I am really guilty!"
"Dad, since ancient times, there has not been a prosperous era for three hundred years. The Qing Dynasty has been enjoying the country for a long time and has committed so many evils. It's time to finish it! Why should you be sad!"
The three of them talked for a while, and the old man was also tired and went to rest. In fact, there were no fewer people who saw through the world like the old man. A short and fat old man in Huanshang Village, Henan was fishing, with a peaceful expression, squinting his eyes, as if everything was under control.
"Xiangcheng, this time the court has made a big move. The world is in chaos. I am afraid that the day you come back will be in front of you!" A scholar came to the fat old man who was fishing with a telegram and smiled, put the telegram in front of the old man. The fat old man took it and took it and smiled slightly.
"Xingcheng, why should I lose my composure? It was expected that Zaifeng and his gang drove me out of Beijing for the sake of the word "power"? How could they give it up? What else would these emperors and nobles do in their minds except for stalking eagles and walking dogs, fighting crickets, and raising grasshoppers? The world will only be more messy when they are left to them. Do you believe it or not, they will also make even more foolish moves!"
"I am a true god in Xiangcheng. I have already received the news. It is said that Yi Li has promised Sheng Xingsun to nationalize the Sichuan-Hanzhou Railway and to clear the slag accounts. I am afraid this is another big hornet's nest!"
The fat old man seemed not to hear this, but just shook his hand and a fat big fish got hooked: "Xingcheng, if you want to catch a big fish, you must be patient. The more you reach this time, the more you must be stable, and wait for those incompetent people to ask us!"
The fat old man was Yuan Shikai who became famous in the future, and that scholar was his number one strategist Yang Shiqi. Compared to Yuan Shikai's Zhizhu, Zhang Jian, the leader of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Constitutional Party, was so angry that he was so angry that he was the leader of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Constitutional Party. He was active and instigated several petitions before he found a cabinet. However, there was no name in this cabinet. How could he not be angry and uneasy? It seems that the revolutionary party's racial revolution made sense. If the Qing court is overthrown and the Han people are not in charge of their own country, they will not have their own way. Zhang Jian's mentality has quietly changed. The rebellious party is no longer a disaster, but a new path.
This situation is being performed everywhere, and politically sensitive figures instinctively noticed that something was wrong. Just after the royal cabinet was released, on May 9, it announced the policy of nationalizing the Sichuan-Han Railway and Guangdong-Han Railway, which were originally operated by the commercial office!
In fact, as mentioned in the previous article, the nationalization of railways is an inevitable choice, and the major shareholders of Sichuan-Han Road are also very clear, but the crux of the problem is who should bear the deficit caused by stock trading. The court's attitude is very clear and will never bear it. On the contrary, Sichuan acting governor Wang Renwen must hand over all the railway accounts, and the blame for the deficit will undoubtedly fall on Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun and others.
Of course, these people would not be able to wait for death. They gathered together all day long, thinking about countermeasures. Luo Lun usually had the most idea, so he spoke first: "Everyone, the imperial court has nationalized the railway. Not only can everyone continue to collect rent shares, but the responsibility for causing the deficit will also fall on us. I think everyone might as well fight to the death, at least they still have a chance of winning, otherwise wouldn't they sit and wait for death?"...
Pu Dianjun couldn't stop thinking, and he knew there was no way out, so he asked, "Brother Ziqing, do you think we have a chance of winning?"
"Why don't there be? There are a large number of shares of the railway company that are the lifeblood of their lives. When the imperial court has been nationalized, they will definitely worry about the safety of their shares and want to exchange them for silver. But the imperial court has no financial resources to exchange these shares for silver. As long as we lead their hatred to the imperial court, we will say that the imperial court is trying to rob everyone and sell everyone's efforts to foreigners. Then I see how the Qing court can bear the anger of the people of Sichuan."
Pu Dianjun thought about it. Luo Lun's idea was similar to what he thought, but he still had a little worry in his heart: "Ziqing, if he forced the Qing court to be too anxious, would he attack us?"
"That depends on our methods. However, now that the royal cabinet has just been released, the gentry and constitutional parties in various places are extremely dissatisfied with the Qing court's actions. As long as we unite this force, we will not only retain the power to continue collecting rent shares, but also may also get greater benefits from the Qing court!"
Pu Dianjun finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, Ziqing, you should contact the gentry and businessmen in various places now, especially the business community in Chongqing. Let Sichuan unify its opinions first, and we will try our best to get it. It is best to make the Qing court give up its plan to return to the country!"
