The thoughts are vast and the vast, and the thunder is heard silently

...

Lin Guangyu's eyes stayed on Duan Fang's face for a moment, and his eyes seemed to smile at Duan Qirui: "The Beiyang Army trained by Yuan Shikai was unified under the jurisdiction of the Army Department the year before yesterday and was organized into the Kinki Army. After the General Staff Department was established, we will find another pilot project and accumulate experience..."

As for which place it is, Lin Guangyu had already thought about it, but refused to say it. The major governors were quite excited. Everyone wanted to know whether it involved their own jurisdiction? But the emperor didn't say anything, and they couldn't do it. Moreover, there was a clear advantage of this trick of hard-geting: the major governors would not jump out and oppose it in a hurry - whoever opposes the emperor would be the first to attack. Everyone knows the reason why the first rafters were rotten first - if you have no ghost in your heart, why are you afraid that the Ministry of National Defense will collect power? Things are false and real, and everyone will be in danger in real time. Once the dust is settled, it will not be effective. The emperor has clearly stated that he will find another pilot. If someone can't wait to jump out and take the lead, the other governors will definitely rush forward, but not form a united front to speak out and oppose it, but take the opportunity to take the opportunity to take the insult - as long as you take the pilot, we will be safe.

Wang Shizhen and others knew it well and couldn't help laughing: the emperor had completely understood the little thoughts of these officials in the border areas, and the magic of the emperor was the emperor. First, Tie Liang sang a harsh attitude to take over the full takeover theory, then Wang Shizhen took a step back and proposed to take over the new military theory, and finally the emperor proposed to take over the new military theory in some provinces. The adjustment gate went from high to bottom, and the movements went from urgent to slow, and they beat and pulled, and they were both dazzling.

"The General Staff Department has one chief of staff, but I am not talented, so I will recommend myself; two deputy chiefs of staff, I will support the Navy Tan Xueheng, and the Army Ha Hanzhang will serve as the position, and there will be another first, second and third-class counselors. There are six departments under it, divided into Chengzheng Hall, Operations Department, Intelligence Department, Strategy Department, Training Department, and Armed Services Department. Chengzheng Hall is responsible for the daily affairs of the headquarters; the Operations Department is responsible for the military operations, the drafting and implementation of tactical plans; the Intelligence Department is responsible for the intelligence collection, map surveying and communication liaison; the Strategic Department is responsible for the national defense strategy design and major political planning; the Training Department is responsible for daily training, exercises, and evaluation; the Military Department is connected with the Military Control Department of the Ministry of National Defense, responsible for supply and assume the responsibility of wartime mobilization. The Department is under the department, and the department is under the department..."

Originally, Wang Shizhen wanted Liu Guanxiong, who was doing odd jobs in the Texas Arsenal, was the deputy chief of staff of the Navy, but Sa Zhenbing did not like it, nor did the emperor, and even commented that Liu Guanxiong was "frivolous in behavior and erratic in words, and would never be able to use it." After the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, China specially purchased a batch of warships from Britain to rebuild the navy. It was built in 1899, and the cruiser "Haitian" with a tonnage of 4,300 tons was already the largest warship in China at that time. However, it was such a large ship, a new ship, which actually caused the successful Liu Guanxiong to sink five years later in a non-war state. Sa Zhenbing did not like Liu Guanxiong at this point. In connection with what Liu Guanxiong did in history, the notes Lin Guangyu gave him were "high talent and poor morals, stubbornness", and he decided not to use it.

Everyone at the stage just wanted to know which save the emperor's choice and where he had the intention to obstruct him. The proposals related to the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff were successfully passed.

"Sa Zhenbing." The emperor called him out.

"I'm here."

"I have read the naval planning memorial I have already said it well, and I am very pleased. After the New Year, I will go abroad to inspect the warships and planning matters."

"I obey the order." Sa Zhenbing thought that although the annual silver of 2.5 million taels was 1.5 million taels shorter than the requirement in the memorandum, it was a good start. Now everything is in trouble, so it is not convenient to cause trouble for the emperor.

"I heard that there is still a gap of 1.5 million taels per year in the naval expenses?"

"Yes!" Sa Zhenbing looked at the emperor in confusion. Do you plan to solve it for me? But Tie Baochen didn't say it! So he honestly said: "I asked the branch before, and Ze Gongyan said that the financial gap was huge and it was really difficult to get it all together, so it was difficult for the navy to make it difficult for me to think about it. I thought about it and decided to do what I could and do as much as I could.

"You bastard! What matters to do in the navy is urgent, how can it be delayed?" The emperor slapped the table with an angry face.

"I am afraid." Sa Zhenbing was shocked and knelt down quickly. The Minister of the Du branch Zaize looked shaky, and the others were puzzled: Why did the Du branch fight the Navy's board?

"The Emperor's oral order: The annual shortfall of naval military expenditure is 1.5 million taels from the treasury, I'm sorry!" It sounded Wang Shang's voice.

"Lao Buddha borrowed the navy's silver from the construction of the garden back then, and I will pay it back for her!" Hearing the emperor's loud words, the people in the hall were stunned. Cixi did not hesitate to embezzle the navy's military expenses in order to build the Summer Palace, which resulted in a crushing defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. The emperor's old words are now reiterated, which is clearly a compensatory meaning.

Sa Zhenbing didn't expect this turnaround at all. He burst into tears in his eyes and crawled deep down: "I thank all the navy soldiers for thanking God!"

"Get up. I gave the money to the Navy. If I still can't do the job well, I recognize you, but I don't know you!"

Wang Shang re-issue: "The Emperor's edict: From this year on, the number of royal levies must be hard-working and frugal, and use the actual performance of this year as a reference. If the actual amount this year is more than 20 million taels, the upper limit will be 20 million taels, and it will not increase within 10 years. If the national fiscal revenue and expenditure are still unbalanced after 10 years, it is still not allowed to increase..."

"The Emperor's Holy and Virtue." A sound of praise at the steps made the officials who were already drowsy, awake, but their movements were inevitably slowed down and seemed less harmonious. It is said that the emperor issued an edict two days ago that the emperor issued an edict that the imperial meal should not exceed 9 dishes. Many people thought it was just an official article, but they did not expect that the emperor was serious. He remained unchanged for 10 years and would give the navy 1.5 million taels every year. This day must be... No matter what his thoughts are, since the emperor expressed the intention of paying attention to frugality and striving for strength, it would be too unreasonable if a minister did not call him "Saintly and Virtue".

"Yinchang, what did you want to report just now?"

"I respectfully request the establishment of a new army of imperial guards!"

What? This is like throwing a bomb in the court and practicing the imperial guards? Who cares? Who practices? Who pays? A series of questions linger in the hearts of all the big guys.

Yinchang ignored the surprised gazes around him and continued to speak: "The last time I visited Germany, Emperor William II of Germany asked me to ask that the Imperial Guard was the most important thing in national defense. The Imperial Guard was personally controlled by the emperor, and the capital was built inside and the small things outside were intimidated. It was one of them; the Imperial Guard was personally led by the emperor to show his determination to pursue martial arts, inspire the morale of the people, and inspire him to show sincerity. This is the second; the Imperial Guard was known as the leader in the army, with pure military tactics and elite combat power, and can be regarded as a model of the army, and the example was extraordinary. The Imperial Guard once said, why Prussia won every battle, why Japan's reform was successful, and the reason why the royal family personally led the Imperial Guard was extraordinary. If our country wants to implement new policies, accelerate changes, and consolidate national defense, we must train the Imperial Guard..."

"Your words are very wonderful..." This suggestion was originally proposed by the emperor, but now he looked excited on his face, and it looked like he was dancing with his hands for the first time when he heard such suggestions - Lin Guangyu felt ashamed. After traveling for less than a month, his acting skills were getting better and better. "What do you think of me?"

Even fools can see what the emperor's attitude is. Can you say you don't agree? Can you object? - What kind of heart are you doing?

"I'm asking!" Zaifeng was so happy that he was the first to come out to agree.

"I'm going to discuss it!" Na Tong, Yi Li, Cen Chunxuan, Xu Shichang and others agreed.

"I'm going to discuss it!" But Tieliang, Sa Zhenbing, Wang Shizhen and other military generals agreed.

"I'm going to discuss it!" The governors and officials of various provinces thought why should they be evil people?

The court was full of agreement, and the emperor was "very happy"...

"The Imperial Guards plan to use the former Jingqi Standing Army of the Kinki Army as the basis, absorb the remaining elite troops of the new army towns, recruit military talents from various provinces, hire German instructors, and first train a mixed association, with a 5,000 personnel, and set up various departments such as infantry, cavalry, artillery, labor, and luggage. A minister of the Imperial Guards will be organized and trained, and the minister of the General Office of the Imperial Guards will be organized and trained, and the minister of the General Office will be organized and trained, and the minister of the General Office will be recommended by himself; a minister of the Council and the chief in charge of the Imperial Guards will be supported by Feng Guozhang; a minister of the Council and the leader of the Imperial Front, and the minister of Liangbi will be recommended. It will be organized within 9 months. After a little success, it will be expanded to one town, with a 13,000 personnel, and a year will be organized. Because the complete set of armour was required in the first two years, and the artillery was required to be purchased, with a large funding demand of about 3 million taels in the first year, about 4 million taels in the second year, and 2.5 million taels in the third year..."

"Is there any difficulty in the branch?"

This made Zai Ze ask: It must be a lie, it must be a lie, and because Sa Zhenbing had cried once, he was poor, if he agreed happily and quickly, wouldn’t he seem to be favored by one or the other? If he said yes, it must be unhappy with the emperor's heart and offended Yinchang, what should he do?

Zai Ze racked his brains and finally came up with a more appropriate answer: "Report to the emperor, there are gaps in finance. I think it is probably the best to squeeze out 500,000 taels this year. But since the training of the Imperial Guards is so important, I will definitely come up with a way to raise funds in the next year. After Rong Chen returns, he will move it and discuss with the provinces to see if he can share the burden for the court."

None of the governors didn't scold us in their hearts - they had the idea of ​​beating us again. Zaize was sweating all over his forehead. Is it easy for me?

Lin Guangyu's face was calm and he was not unhappy: "Since it is important, you should not delay it. The branch's expenses are 500,000 taels, and the treasury will give you another 500,000 taels. First set up the airs, and the rest will be discussed in the long run... The burden on each province is very heavy now, so don't make things difficult for them."

"I obey the order!"

The matter of the Imperial Guards has just been settled. Wang Yingkai, Wang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and other Beiyang generals came out and said loudly: "I respectfully ask you to replace braids with short hair in the army and use military salutes to replace kneeling and worship."
Chapter completed!
