Chapter 278 Military Power, State, Constitution and Great Joy
Master Li laughed dumbly. He really came to whatever he wanted. He was still thinking about how to solve the remaining Japanese problem and sold this dish at a good price. Unexpectedly, Ito Hirofumi took the initiative to send it to the door.
As for the emperor's handwritten letter?
Can it be eaten as a meal!
Li Mo smiled and said, "Has the British and American representatives arrived?"
"It's arrived." Tang Shaoyi was in charge of foreign affairs, so she immediately said, "Britain is very dissatisfied with our cooperation with Germany. Dou Maile, the ambassador to China, asked us to explain immediately, otherwise the possibility of sending the Far East Fleet to intervene in the blockade will not be ruled out."
"Mother, I'm not happy to hear that the Far East Fleet. If I have the ability, I can drive over directly. What's the point of always using this as an excuse?" Long Guozhang's style did not change. He scolded and gargars, so that Yan Fu next to him hurriedly dodged half of the stool.
"Do you dare to fight when you drive over?" Chen Ping stared at this man. Now, in terms of strength, the British Far East Fleet and the Pacific Fleet are between Zhongbo. The latter is slightly stronger because he got four new battleships, but the problem is that if he really wants to fight, Britain will not only send the Far East Fleet. The Mediterranean Fleet has as many as twelve monarchical and majesty, and then Coupled with the old-fashioned battleships, the number has reached about 20, which is enough to drown on their side.
More importantly, Britain is now the world's boss, just like the American emperors in later generations. Even if those little brothers are selfish, as long as they can convince the United States, no one in the Pacific can resist it!
Fortunately, A Dou can't afford it. No matter how strong Britain is, it will not throw money into this bottomless hole. Take the Far East Fleet as an example, just to ensure the interests!
Because the two biggest interests of Japan were the United States and the United Kingdom, so they will not be willing to give up the fat they got. The threat is also understandable. Of course, this is also mainly because their fists are not big enough. Now the question is how to resolve this threat and use Japan to fight for the most for themselves. Big interests, not new conflicts.
"Hokkaido can't give up." Yan Fu opened the conversation box: "The land is vast and sparsely populated, and there is an excuse for the shrimp. As long as you expel the rest of me and spend three or five years moving two or three or three hundred thousand people, it will be ours!"
"Mr. Yan is right. Hokkaido's geographical location is very important. If we control Hokkaido, we can directly threaten the whole of Eastern Siberia from the sea, even the Aleutian Islands and Alaska, and even Canada. We must not give up!" Chen Ping's words represent the thoughts of the army. It can be seen that under Master Li's slow **, the general reference has studied the world map thoroughly, and the army has the dream of planting the flag all over every inch of the world.
"If we don't want to give up Hokkaido, then we have to give up the interests of this island." Tang Shaoyi said again, "I have tested the words of Britain and the United States in the past two days, and they are very important to this island."
"Of course, tens of millions of people, even if they are defeated, it is still a great market. The two countries will never be willing to give up such a big market to us." After staying in the United States for many years, Li Enfu knows that capital expansion and resource plunder are the fundamental reasons why countries are competing for colonies. This is also the fundamental reason why Germany would rather give up the islands within the Marshall Islands and choose Kyushu Island. For William II, as long as he settles on Kyushu Island, it is equivalent to opening the Japanese capital. In the market of tens of millions, one earns one mark, which is also the income of tens of millions of marks!
Li Mo pouted the corners of his mouth, listened to the discussion of several people, and fell into meditation.
It is undoubtedly impossible to completely occupy the Japanese version of Japan, so how to use the Japanese version to fight for their own interests is the most important thing at present. Since Hirofumi Ito has come, it shows that the senior management of the Japanese version is no longer able to fight. At this moment, the fleet that travels to the Japanese version of the sea has blocked the outside world, which is the largest capital in his hands. Ben! When you have taken the initiative, it is time to consider how to make good use of this advantage.
"Cat money right!"
Li Mo's heart suddenly shrank and thought of what he let Thomas do in the United States, but he soon rejected the idea. The great powers would never be willing to control the Japanese currency and control the Japanese economy at will. In that case, the money they worked hard may face the possibility of turning into white paper, but everyone is not. Fool, everyone knows the important surname for this kind of thing.
However, if several companies unite in the form of shares, it will be a temporary solution.
As long as you can get the biggest one in this currency game, once the contradictions of various countries intensify more than ten years later, after a big fight, the geographical advantage of a strip of water will help you complete your dream of controlling the whole Japanese economy!
Thinking of this, Li Mo quickly put forward a suggestion, asking Tang Shaoyi to seek the opinions of various countries first, and Li Enfu and others nodded repeatedly. Maintaining Japanese currency stability is what all countries are willing to see. Otherwise, the chaotic Japanese economy will probably scare many businessmen and waste such a large market.
After looking at Tang Shaoyi, Li Enfu looked at him a few times and suddenly rubbed his hands: "Young master, the negotiation on this issue will begin in a few days. Do you think it's time for us to set a name for ourselves!"
Name!
Li Mo slowly sat up straight. He had already guessed that it would not be so simple for these people to come together today, especially when the two military and political families came together. It must be for the word "re republic" that he deliberately released!
"It's time to have a name." Li Mo smiled, picked up the teacup from the coffee table, looked at Li Enfu, and asked, "Mr. Li, you have been in the United States for many years. You might as well talk about it first."
Seeing that the young master finally let go and heard the news, everyone was relieved one after another. At the same time, Li Enfu was not polite and took the lead in saying, "Young master, the republic is not advisable!"
"Oh? Why?
Li Mo was a little surprised. It is reasonable that Li Enfu has been in the United States for many years. After seeing the free and relaxed environment in the United States, he should support the republican system. Why did he take the lead in opposing it?
While Li Mo was curious, Li Enfu had put down the teacup, lit a cigarette, and looked serious: "Maybe my words are a little unpleasant, but the republican system should be the foundation. The United States is a pure immigrant country. Most of the people come from European countries. They have different living habits and beliefs, and lack the soil to adopt the second system. "
"And we are not!"
"The destruction of the Manchu people for hundreds of years is common in China. To put it bluntly, it is to fool the people. They don't even understand the meaning of the republic. The rash adoption of the republican system will only cause frequent chaos and take advantage of those covetous powers!"
"In the end, there can only be one end, division!"
"Who dares to destroy him!" Hearing this, Long Guozhang jumped up first and said viciously.
"Ha ha, Lao Long, don't be impatient. Listen to me." Li Enfu said with a smile, "I believe that all of you here, not even our generation, will be divided, but the question is, what about our next generation?"
"It's difficult to fight the country. How easy is it to defend the country? The sentence "The princes and princes have a kind of peace" has changed for thousands of years. If there is only land and no sea border, it may be possible to reduce the division, but our control is too scattered and too wide. Who can ensure that there is no division in remote places?
Li Enfu's words made everyone nod, and Li Mo also frowned. From the bottom of his heart, he did not agree with the republic. The reason why he released the news of the republic was to test some people's ideas. At present, he still achieved his goal.
In history, there has been no republican system in China. After the failure of the constitution at the end of the Qing Dynasty, most people turned to the republic, but it also led to a long period of warlords and chaos. Nowadays, the domestic people are generally illiterate and do not understand the meaning of the republic. Even if your constitution is read to others, I'm afraid it will extend countless In addition, there has been no second system in this land for thousands of years. As Li Enfu said, the people only know that there is an emperor in the world, so the soil of the republic is still immature.
Is it appropriate not to choose the republic and change it to the constitution?
Neither!
Constitutionalism requires tradition and centuries of precipitation. Royal families like Britain have lasted for more than ten generations or even dozens of generations. The people generally recognize the existence of the royal family, so that the royal family can be preserved after the constitution and become a national symbol.
But as an outbreak-like emerging force, not to mention Li Mo, even when the constitutional idea is deeply rooted in Europe, isn't France also revolutionized?
In a moment of lack of recognition and foundation, it is obviously a joke to establish a constitution. Once you have no power, as Li Enfu said, if an ambitious person controls domestic public opinion and overthrows a royal family that has no foundation and has not yet been recognized by the majority, it is easy to turn a palm!
Li Mo is not an idiot like a great pioneer and thinker. He comes from the afterlife of selfish desires. His selfishness is even heavier than these people in front of him. He can't care whether he can still have so many rights in the future, but he doesn't want his descendants to be swept out of the house after his death, or even his head is different.
So the imperial election system? Reading talent?
It's even worse!
The trend of history will not be reversed. Anything that blocks this tide will be crushed. [***] It will bring decay and depravity. At the same time, it will also make the country lose its motivation to move forward. He dares to guarantee that he will not be crooked, but what about future generations?
You can't be rich for three generations. This is not a joke!
In all dynasties, the founding monarch's Chinese martial arts were more wiser than Master Li's, but what happened later?! What's more, as a traveler in later generations, he grew up in the era of information explosion. He knows better than anyone what the end of the imperial system and reading talent will be!
The ending of the overthrown imperial system is the same as the baseless constitution!
So how to choose? How to give full play to the advantage of mastering future development?
Everyone was also silent, waiting for his choice. From the bottom of my heart, everyone here is more inclined to establish a constitution, but everyone is not a fool. They all know what Li Mo is worried about. How to ensure the extension of the royal family is the biggest problem that bothers everyone!
It can be said that today's territory and army are established by Li Mo with one hand. Even if he wants to choose the imperial system to read, it is estimated that he will not encounter too much opposition. Moreover, these people have seen Li Mo's ability to grasp the opportunity world situation. Up to now, no one can master this huge and larger ship like him. The ship!
In the corner, Zhao Long, who had never spoken, clenched his fist fiercely, and a drop of hot sweat dripped from the palm of his hand. As a young master, even his family member, he had actually made up his mind that if the young master chose to be the emperor and was opposed, he would do whatever he would do anything!
Li Mo leaned on the lounge chair and didn't say anything. From the bottom of his heart, he was also more inclined to establish a constitution. The imperial system is good, but his surname is not suitable for those internal affairs. The imperial election system is estimated to be exhausted. More importantly, even if he can maintain it for decades, the depravity and corruption after the centralization will drown in the future generations. !
But it is also impossible to completely learn from the constitution of the British royal family as a pure national symbol. As he just said, if you lose power and have no foundation, the royal family will only be used by others.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is not a question of what kind of system to adopt. The system is just a manifestation of different ideologies. The fundamental thing is whether the ruling ability of the political axe can bring benefits to most people and let the people enjoy the benefits of adopting this system.
So he can't give up his rights! At least not now!
Thinking of this, Li Mo slowly regained his body under the gaze of everyone, asked Yan Fu for the paper money with him, and slowly wrote six words.
"Military power, state, constitution!"
The simple six words made everyone relieved, and even Zhao Long slowly let go of his fist.
The wordis very simple, but it represents many meanings. First of all, the young master will not give up his military power. In fact, everyone also feels that the military power will continue to be in Li Mo's hands for the time being, only beneficial and no harm. At least at this moment, no one can take charge of such a large armed force instead of him, nor can he seem to see through the future like him.
The state and the constitution represent Li Mo's formal approval of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the State Council, which was originally an auxiliary role, will be restructured to officially replace Li Mo as the helm of this emerging country. Li Mo only gets the right of guidance and advice.
This is equivalent to giving up the conquered country to others. On this soil where the king's ideology is serious, it is undoubtedly very courageous to do so, but in order to ensure that there is no problem, he continues to retain the most important military power!
After Li Mo explained, he said, "Mr. Li, I'm going to set up a company specializing in managing the assets under my name. You say hello to Liang Dunyan and ask him to send someone to supervise. You tell him that every time I use more than 10,000 pounds in the future, I will record it with him first."
"Young master, you..., I admire you!"
Li Enfu's words made everyone understand Li Mo's thoughts and secretly admired Li Mo's mind. Previously, Li Mo was equivalent to letting go of the country he had conquered, and now he has set up such a company and take the initiative to be supervised by Liang Dunyan, which means that he completely publicized the property under his private control and let them be in Under the supervision of the political axe, it is possible to avoid the possibility of funds flowing into the army.
Everyone knows that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the political axe controlled the finances and the royal family controlled the army. The two both rely on each other and constrain each other. But the problem is that Li Mo's own ability to make money is too amazing, and the wealth is too much to say, although they all believe that the young master will not damage the country. Things, but what about the future? What about Li Mo's descendants?
After the military power is controlled by the royal family, the political axe's right to speak will become very small and fragile. Once someone uses this huge amount of money to privately fund the army, it will undoubtedly be a flood beast for the whole country.
At this time, Li Mo proposed to put his money under the supervision of the political axe, and every time he used the money, he would report it to the political axe for the record, so as to avoid the possibility of the future army becoming a private army to the greatest extent.
Of course, this is not perfect, and there are still great voids. For example, if Li Mo does not cooperate in the future, this kind of supervision is just a formality, but everyone knows that this is the best choice at present.
"Another!"
Before everyone was happy, Li Mo suddenly glanced at the shadow in the distance. He thought of a problem and scratched his head: "I still have the biggest problem, um... How many wives can I marry?"
"Of course, the more the better!" Long Guozhang immediately shouted, but immediately found that the other people were not looking right, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you? How many wives does the young master have? What's the problem?
There is a problem, of course, there is a big problem!
The seemingly simple personal problem involves the fair surname of the law. Monogamy introduced in the West is a trend and will definitely be written into the constitution. Since it is constitutional, the royal family must also be subject to the constitution, so Li Mo, as the emperor, can only marry one wife.
Of course, it's okay if you have the ability to support your lover, but it is not protected by law, so it's okay if a few women around the young master are willing to be wronged, but Li Mo doesn't want to do so. He must give them a public title!
This is the conflict!
"Young master, you should get married."
Tang Shaoyi thought about it and suggested.
Immediately, several other people also understood that only by getting married before the constitution can you block your mouth and avoid the embarrassment of conflict with the constitution after the constitution on the grounds before the constitution.
Li Mo nodded. It was not a perfect result, but it was also the best choice at present. He became the emperor. The three wives and four concubines satisfied his inner selfish desires, and also laid the foundation for the real completion of the constitution after the royal family was recognized in the future.
"Zhao Long, you go to inform Fubo and everyone later, saying that I'm going to get married at the beginning of next month and let him choose a day." After Li Mo finished speaking, he only felt that his strength had been drained and he lay down again. Just as he was about to wave everyone to leave, a rapid sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the yard.
Everyone looked at it quickly and saw that Fu Hai had rushed into the small courtyard with a red face. Before he ran to him, he shouted in a hurry.
"Young master, great joy, great joy!"
"Great joy?"
Li Mo is confused. Isn't he not married yet? Where does the big joy come from?
"Young master, Aunt Qiaoer... No, look at my mouth, it's Qiaoer's young grandmother who is happy!"
"What!"
Li Mo suddenly stood up. He had just prepared for a big wedding. He had a child here, and it was announced in front of so many people. Isn't it known all over the young master getting on the bus first and then making up for the ticket?
But it's really a joy!
So before everyone congratulated everyone, Master Li flew out like an arrow. Li Enfu and others looked at each other one after another, and the corners of their mouths all smiled. The young master later represented the continuation of the royal family, which made everyone most worried about, no longer be a problem!
