Chapter 233 Stabilizing Everything in China

Back to the Capital Garden, Hu Chuyuan saw Lu Guangzheng, who was waiting for him.

Lu Guangzheng is wearing a new olive green military uniform copied from the United States, the only lieutenant general in the country, wearing a pair of polished black leather shoes, waiting silently in the living room of the Capital Garden.

The windows in the living room were closed, surrounded by smoke, and the ceramic ashtray beside Lu Guangquan was full of cigarette butts.

Lu Guang Quan has a very special habit. When he smokes, he hates opening windows or air with wind and convection. Moreover, his smoking addiction is getting worse and worse, and he smokes a pack and a half of cigarettes every day.

Hu Chuyuan stepped into the living room and frowned slightly by the smell of smoke.

Lu Guang Quan suddenly got up and saluted with him, "Your Excellency the Prime Minister!"

Normally, it is not used, but Lu Guang Quan still can't help it... After all, it has been done for so many years.

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly, looked at Lu Guangquan carefully, stayed up all night, smoked all night, his eyes were dark, his eyes were full of bright red blood, and his spirit was not bad.

It can be seen that Lu Guangzuan's inner emotions are also extremely complicated.

He is unwilling, and he is also a little nervous and anxious.

Hu Chuyuan walked silently to the big chair on the north side and sat down steadily, indifferently making people feel gloomy.

Lu Guang Quan waited silently, standing still and did not dare to sit down.

He finally understands now that as long as Hu Chuyuan does not die, China will still have the final say. Not to mention the administrative officials from all over the world, even Lv Han, Duan Qirui and Ye Fu, even his direct descendants Sun Yuanheng and Li Kaiye dare not act rashly.

He understood that he had only been used by Hu Chuyuan for so many years.

After a while, someone waited for Hu Chuyuan to bring tea. Hu Chuyuan also drank half a cup, and then he said, "Sit down."

Lu Guang Quan sat down silently, did not squint, and carefully covered his inner world.

Hu Chuyuan continued to drink tea, waited for a moment before sighing, and said, "These days are really hard for you. I know that I must be unwilling. You know, I let you do things as intense as possible, just to leave me more room for me. After all, I'm sacrificing your political future to fulfill myself. I understand this, you understand.

Lu Guang Quan immediately replied, "Your Excellency, I understand, and I am willing to. As long as it is for the prosperity and prosperity of the country, I, Lu Guang Tsuen, can do everything... I am very satisfied that I can do these things well for adults.

Hu Chuyuan sneered, but he looked dissatisfied, and said, "Guang Quan, we are also brothers. Don't be so polite. I know you're not feeling well... I'm sorry for you, I know this very well. As for me... I dare not say that one day when I step down, the position of Prime Minister will be handed over to you. The situation in the world is changing all the time. There are indeed more suitable candidates now... I can't make such a promise with you, but I can tell you for sure that China will become a world power, even if it is difficult in front of me. You can also break through. I can also tell you more for sure that thanks to you, I have come back again this time. All the conditions are met, and I will really do a big business. I can also tell you that one day, China will become the most powerful country in the world... And when you and I are alive, we will definitely be able to open it. Open your eyes to see that day.

Listening to such words, the entanglements in Lu Guangwen's heart seemed to dissipate in an instant. He couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Your Excellency, are you finally going to risk a big job?"

Hu Chuyuan said, "Otherwise... why should I sacrifice you?"

Lu Guang Quan couldn't help smiling bitterly and said, "It's worth sacrificing. Besides, I didn't break my arms and legs. I was just scolded by the squire for a few months.

Hu Chuyuan nodded and said, "Actually, I also want you to see clearly that there are too many conservative forces in this country after all. If you don't expose them, they won't expose them. As soon as you are exposed, they will rush out like shrews. Time is always the best weapon to deal with these people. We should take a long-term view and not be in a hurry to fight with them.

Lu Guang Quan had to nod slightly convincedly and asked, "Your Excellency, what are you going to do at the present?"

Hu Chuyuan drank tea, thought a little, and said, "At present, the cabinet is reorganized. You are still the Minister of the Army. There are basically no major changes in personnel. Zhang Zhidong replaced Ronglu to be transferred to the governor of Northeast China, and Zhang Baixi was transferred to Liangguang. Huo Hongji served as the interior minister, and Ouyang Geng served as the foreign minister. Basically, there are only these changes. The Green Battalion should take the opportunity to be abolished, and the new armed police forces should be reorganized in various places. The general teams in each province shall be under the jurisdiction of the governors and governors in various places. The army and navy will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the governors and governors, and the military expenses will also be paid by the central government.

After a pause, he said, "Just in time, in this process, let's remove the guns of the Green Battalion to expand the new army. The armed police forces in the inland provinces do not need to be equipped with weapons for the time being."

Lu Guangsuan couldn't help shouting, "This is great. There are at least 600,000 Jiangnan rifles in the green camps in various places. As long as 300,000 are drawn out, we can expand the new army of 25 divisions."

Hu Chuyuan said, "After reorganizing the cabinet, you will be responsible for these things. As for other things, you don't have to worry too much. I'm ready. Of course, we hope to delay another four or five years, and then go to war with the Russians and myself after everything is ready, but if they have to fight now, we will sacrifice our lives to fight with them.

Lu Guangyuan said, "Your Excellency, don't worry, I have been preparing for this battle for the past few months. The reserve divisions of each regiment have expanded to the scale of three divisions, and new recruits can be transferred to supplement the army at any time."

Hu Chuyuan nodded, and he didn't have to say anything else.

He knows what kind of person Lu Guang Quan is.

Yes, he took advantage of Lu Guangzuan. This is a private hatred. Will Lu Guangzuan retaliate... It's really unknown, but it certainly won't be at this time of national disaster... What's more, Lu Guangzuan doesn't have enough strength at present.

After Lu Guang Quan left, the Capital Garden returned to the tranquility of the past.

It has once again become Hu Chuyuan's world, and China is still up to him.

Take a short break in the seniority park. The next day, Hu Chuyuan began to officially perform the functions and powers of the Prime Minister. First, he let Sun Zongyuan serve as the leader of his general association Zhang Jing.

During Lu Guangquan's tenure, Emperor Guangxu has approved the implementation of the new constitution. According to the new constitution, the power of the Prime Minister has been further expanded, with military command and military command. Although the establishment of the interior minister and the foreign minister is retained, the interior minister and the foreign minister are no longer responsible to the emperor, but only to the prime minister.

All real power has been controlled in the hands of Hu Chuyuan. He is responsible for formulating the list of all cabinet ministers. Although it still needs the approval of Emperor Guangxu, it is only a form.

After so many years of training, the cards in Hu Chuyuan's hand are huge enough for him to organize two sets of cabinets.

After a few days of deliberation, on August 21, Hu Chuyuan submitted a new list of 17-person cabinets. The overall change was not great, but the Manchus retreated, and there were no Manchus at the provincial governors, governors and admirals.

Zhang Zhidong was appointed as the new governor of the three eastern provinces, with the rank of Taibao and imperial minister. With his ability, it is not difficult to stabilize the situation in the northeast. Zhang Baixi refused to be an official. In terms of the past friendship, Hu Chuyuan especially talked to him all night and persuaded him to serve as the president of the newly established Yanjing Foreign Studies University.

In the following days, Hu Chuyuan personally met with the ministers of various countries and announced that the military coup had ended and that the Qing Dynasty still maintained the constitutional monarchy. This was only a more civilized reform. Emperor Guangxu was willing to give up more power to ensure the reform of the country's political system.

On this basis, he took the lead in reaching a consensus with the four countries of Britain, the United Kingdom, the United States and the United States. All countries officially recognized the legal surnames of the Qingzheng axe. The losses caused by the righteous and boxing movement to the civil church organizations in various countries were also privately negotiated by the Qingzheng axe and the church organizations. The political axe did not care about this.

In terms of domestic politics, Hu Chuyuan has some reservations about some of the things that Lu Guang Quan had previously forcibly carried out, and some of them were suspended.

For example, when it is about cutting braids, he gives the people and officials the right to choose freely. In addition to soldiers and diplomatic officials, Manchu and Han people can cut or stay. There is no forced rule.

On the issue of the abolition of the Green Battalion, he continued to insist on abolishing the world military system and fully using the service system, but also handed over the new armed police forces to the jurisdiction of governors and magistrates in various places to ease the contradictions in the struggle for military power between the central and local governments.

While the Green Battalion was abolished, the country synchronously prepared for the establishment of a police system and a police department to absorb young soldiers from the Green Battalion to the police force and the armed police force, so as to prevent the problem of murising in the Green Camp.

The officers of the newly established armed police force are uniformly selected by the military academy and the new army, and also adopt the new system and training.

The generals of the Green Camp and above are temporarily reserved for their official positions to be vacant, and the full 60th grade will be unified.

For the imperial examination system cancelled by Lu Guangzhui, Hu Chuyuan has been retained again, but a new reform has been carried out... The examination can continue. The problem is that it is not given an official position. If you want to be an official, you can do it. After the examination, you can go to the provincial erudite museums for re-study for four years, and then take the new administrative officer examination of all majors at all levels. Or directly take the newly established Central University of Political Science and Law.

Ability, reputation, wrist, vision... All the differences between Hu Chuyuan and Lu Guangzuan are reflected in just half a month.

Once Hu Chuyuan comes back, all the problems at home and abroad seem to be solved. He is also reforming, but not many people will oppose it.

What's more, most of the governors, governors and Taoist platforms in China are his people. Even if they are not his people, they have to give some face. As long as the decrees issued by him, they can basically be effectively connected to the place.

In half a month, Hu Chuyuan completely stabilized the domestic situation, so that everyone had to admire him and admit that... There was no second candidate except him to control the situation in China.

The gap between Zhang Zhidong, Zhang Baixi, Lu Guang Quan... and his is basically one hundred thousand miles.

Such a change... It really shocked the whole international community. Originally, it was thought it was a chaos, but no one expected that as soon as Hu Chuyuan came back, there was no problem. Instead, China took a step forward and was more difficult to deal with than before.

This is really unconvincable.

As of September, Chinese and foreign political and economic exchanges have gradually returned to normal. Britain, the United States and Austria have begun to adopt stricter wording, requiring the Allies to stop sending more troops in the Far East, so as to avoid large-scale military conflicts in the Far East and undermine the economic and trade exchanges and interests of various countries.

At this time, the Three Kingdoms of the Allied Organizations are also hesitating. The original reason for aggression can no longer be established, but if they have no choice but to withdraw the army and cancel the mobilization of war... How can they be willing?
