Chapter 055 On the Reward

When Nie Shicheng saw Prince Duan, he was about to kneel down and worship. Zaiyi grabbed Nie Shicheng and said with a smile, "Old General Nie destroyed a whole brigade of the Japanese army, which is world-class. Now he is armored, and this kneeling ceremony is avoided." Zai Yi said, took a look at Zhou Charter, who followed Nie Shicheng, and smiled, "Moreover, I heard that Zhang Jun's rules are not allowed to kneel down and worship. Well, let's all keep pace with the times. How about everyone doing a Western-style military ceremony today?"

Nie Shicheng laughed, raised his right hand, and performed a Western-style military salute. Zaiyi also used a Western-style military salute. Both of them did not move well, but the atmosphere at the scene was suddenly much more harmonious.

Zaiyi came to Zhou Charter and smiled, "Zhou General Bing, we are old friends."

Zhou Charter sneered: "Thank you for remembering. However, does the prince still remember his two brothers, Naha Wu and Luo Mingfang? When I was in Pyongyang, my leading brother, did not offend the prince. I heard that they were imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?

Zaiyi laughed: "Zhou Zongbing is really righteous, and he can't forget his brother anywhere. Please rest assured. Some days ago, the emperor was restless and a little confused. Originally, he ordered Ye Zhichao to lead the army to North Korea to reinforce Zhangjun, but something went wrong and there was a misunderstanding between the two sides. As a result, Nahawu and Luo Mingfang were wronged. Now, everything is clear. The two have been acquitted, and the emperor personally received the emperor and Luo Mingfang, as well as your mentor Na Jin in the Forbidden City, and awarded the emperor's uncle as the third-grade guard and the leader of the cavalry battalion. Luo Mingfang was led by the third grade and was held by the Tianjin Military Academy. Zhou Zongbing, the emperor valued them very much!"

Zhou Charter's heart moved. The Empress Dowager Cixi let go of Nahawu and Luo Mingfang, but the emperor did not release them back to North Korea, but stayed by his side, which was famous.

Obviously, Emperor Guangxu identified Nahawu, an uncle of unknown origin, and not only raised Nahawu to the high position of Zheng Sanpin, but also handed over the Xiaoqi camp stationed in Tianjin to Nahawu. The Xiaoqi Camp is also one of the Royal Forest Army, and its mission is to defend the capital. Emperor Guangxu wants to control his own army through Nahawu.

Luo Mingfang was appointed as the Tianjin Wubei School, which valued Luo Mingfang very seriously. Tianjin Wubei School is the highest military school in the Qing Dynasty, and the degree of modernization is also the highest. In the past, Tianjin Wubei School was Li Hongzhang's backyard, and no one can touch it. Now, the emperor has arranged Luo Mingfang here to master this most advanced military university in the Qing Dynasty.

It seems that the emperor regards the Zhang Jun brothers as his own family, and he wants to rely on the power of Zhang Jun to consolidate his imperial power.

The judgment of the Zhou Charter is basically correct. However, what Zhou Charter didn't know was that two people in the court played a key role in the appointment of Nahawu and Luo Mingfang.

The first person is Zhenfei. Zhenfei left the cold palace and escaped from death. After this disaster, Zhenfei deeply realized that the emperor did not control the army and would always be a doll in the hands of the Empress Dowager Cixi. The Empress Dowager Cixi let go of her and the emperor this time and will one day pull them off the horse. Nowadays, Nahawu and Luo Mingfang are in the capital. Relying on these two people to hold military power, even if it is just a small force, it can play the role of restraining the Empress Dowager Cixi. Zhou Charter's unified army was outside, and Nahawu and Luo Mingfang were close to the land of Beijing, echoing two times. If there is a crisis, Nahawu and Luo Mingfang can immediately enter the king of Beijing. Zhou Charter immediately led a large army to come. How dare the Empress Dowager Cixi act rashly! Therefore, Zhenfei made advice to Emperor Guangxu to use Nahawu and Luo Mingfang.

And the second person is the emperor's master Weng Tongqi. Weng Tonglu recommended Nahawu and Luo Mingfang to the emperor. The suggestions for Weng Tongqi were two wild people - Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao.

Guangdong Juzi Kang Youwei and his disciple Liang Qichao came to the capital nominally to take the exam. In fact, they came to publicize their idea of the new law.

Kang Youwei is known as the saint of Kang. He is not only proficient in Confucian classics, but also has a lot of research on the general trend of today's world. In his opinion, the current Qing Dynasty is weak and poor, and has been bullied by all the great powers. The reason is that it is closed to the country and does not know how to change. It has entered the 19th century, and the scientific development of Western countries is changing with each passing day, and the Qing Dynasty is still relying on several sage books from 2,000 years ago to govern the country, which is the fundamental reason why China is passively beaten.

Kang Youwei studied the Meiji Restoration in Japan and concluded that if you want to get rich and strong soldiers to compete with the great powers, you have to completely change the law and change the political system, education system, military system and economic system that the Qing Dynasty has been used for hundreds of years. However, reform cannot be separated from the existing state.

Therefore, Kang Youwei put forward a comprehensive reform plan on the basis of strengthening the imperial power, which is the core of the reform.

Kang Youwei believes that the implementation of the change of the law in the Qing Dynasty will inevitably cause strong opposition from the conservative forces. The only way to implement the change is to strengthen the centralization of power, strengthen the imperial power, and, under the promotion of the emperor, destroy the old forces that block the change, so as to launch a top-up The next radical change.

According to Kang Youwei's thinking, the first step of reform is to strengthen the authority of Emperor Guangxu, give Emperor Guangxu the supreme power of "university" and completely eliminate the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Empress Dowager Cixi.

After the signing of the armistice agreement between the Qing Dynasty and Japan, the Qing Dynasty ceded land for compensation. The news came that the people in Beijing were full of resentment. Coincidentally, the Empress Dowager Cixi imprisoned Najin and arrested Naha Wu and Luo Mingfang, who had made great achievements in resisting Japan, and the people were talking about it. Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao felt that this was a good opportunity to publicize the transformation of the new law. They called the men who went to Beijing for the examination and petitioned to the imperial court and asked the court to release Nahawu and Luo Mingfang. At the same time, they sent a ten thousand words to the court to put forward the idea of the change of the new era. This is the famous "book on the bus".

Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao wrote on the bus, which was very powerful. Coupled with the achievements of Zhang Jun and the Qing army, the Empress Dowager Buddha had to make concessions and release Emperor Guangxu, which also helped Emperor Guangxu. Therefore, after Emperor Guangxu came to the court, he was very interested in Kang Youwei and sent Weng Tonghao to meet Kang Youwei in the West Flower Hall of Zhongnanhai to listen to Kang Youwei's ideas.

When Kang Youwei saw Weng Tongyu, he immediately put forward the idea of strengthening the monarchy and the arbitrary idea of sacred heart. He suggested that Emperor Guangxu should keep the two anti-Japanese heroes, Nahawu and Luo Mingfang, take control of the real power of the army and become a strong backing for the emperor. At the same time, let Zhou Charter, the commander of Zhangjun, summon Zhang Jun, to garrison in other places and station with the land of Beijing. The five ha echoed each other, forming a posture of arch defense to the emperor.

This is completely consistent with Weng Tongqi's idea, and it is even more deeply the heart of Emperor Guangxu.

There was a rare concubine inside and the recommendation of Weng Tongqi outside. Emperor Guangxu himself had enough of the suffering of the Empress Dowager Buddha, and almost made the Empress Dowager Cixi become a "dead". So far, he is afraid to think of it. Emperor Guangxu was very happy and immediately implemented it.

Since then, Naha Wu and Luo Mingfang broke away from the Zhang army and stayed in Tianjin. One mastered the Xiaoqi camp and the other mastered the Tianjin Martial Arts School. The emperor and concubine secretly supported them and asked for money and people to give people. The two became local power.

It is said that everyone's greetings have been completed, surrounded by Duanjun Wang Zaiyi, leaving the dock and came to the Lushun Port Marine Division Camp. The navy camp was originally the headquarters of the Beiyang Marine Division in Lushun Military Port. After the fall of Lushun, it became the headquarters of the Japanese army. Later, after a war, he was beaten to meet Duan Junshi, Nie Shi The fateful man hurriedly sorted it out, but it still looks decent.

Prince Duan stood on the stage of the generals and read the imperial edict of Emperor Guangxu commending the meritorious deeds. In the edict, he could not list the words of comfort and encouragement in detail. He simply talked about the imperial court's reward for Zhang's generals soldiers:

Division commander Zhou Charter, awarded the first-class uncle, Admiral Huguang, rewarded him with a yellow horse coat, served as the prime minister of the government, and served in the affairs of the inner court. Mrs. Zhao Qiaoer was rewarded with the second grade. The imperial court gave it to Beijing.

Chief of Staff Hannagan, rewarded him with a top, gave him a yellow horse coat, and gave him the imperial court to walk. He returned to Beijing to wait for the emperor's call at any time. Emperor Guangxu has decided to change the law and awarded Hannagan to walk in front of the imperial court. In fact, he is the emperor's private adviser. Since then, Hannagan has stayed in Beijing.
