Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wei Jichen purchased a batch of coastal defense guns from the system and rushed them to the front line. Soon after, he received news that Liu Buchan led the Beiyang Fleet to attack Japanese coastal cities, and he vaguely guessed Liu Buchan's thoughts.

    Generally speaking, Wei Jichen does not need to report such small tactical problems to him at all times from the front line. This is to prevent the tactics from leaking information before they are implemented. There has never been a shortage of traitors in the Celestial Empire. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Qing court and  Because Li Hongzhang did not pay attention to confidentiality, his strategy and tactics were clearly understood by the Japanese. Wei Jichen did not want to make the same mistake.

    The Beiyang Fleet shelled Japanese coastal cities, causing a large number of civilian casualties. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs drew sympathy from the international community and accused China of being inhumane.

    China¡¯s response is that Japan has military facilities in these cities, and the Chinese fleet bombarded these military facilities. We can only express regret for accidentally injuring civilians.

    The Japanese have always been cunning. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, their country had been vigorously promoting political propaganda internationally, saying that the war was to bring civilization into China and change China's backward and barbaric situation, in an effort to shape Japan into a just and civilized country.  .

    At this time, Japan is trying to repeat its old tricks. In the international arena, it pretends to be pitiful to win sympathy. As long as it can benefit its country, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do it.

    Wei Jichen is well aware of the Japanese methods, but when it comes to propaganda, the Japanese are far behind Wei Jichen. Besides, when it comes to historical issues, China naturally has an advantage.

    First, a group of old scholars began to search ancient books. Needless to say, the problem of Ryukyu was confirmed with certainty that Japan's invasion and occupation of Ryukyu was invalid. Secondly, another Ezo tribe was discovered.

    Doesn¡¯t it mean that all the people living on the Japanese island are Yamato ethnic groups?  In fact, this is not the case. There is also the Ezo tribe in Hokkaido. They obviously have nothing to do with the Yamato nation, but they can be related to some ethnic minorities in Northeast China.

    The Ezo tribe once established the Ezo Kingdom, which was later destroyed, and its people were also persecuted by the Yamato nation.

    If China wants to find reasons to attack Japan, it can find thousands of reasons, and each of them can make other countries unable to refute and leave Japan speechless.

    "The Japanese government's international moves were defeated by China in just two or three attempts. Moreover, China also produced a large amount of evidence to show that when the Japanese army invaded Northeast China, it brutally killed a large number of civilians.

    When the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire launched an attack, Wei Jichen had already boarded the train going south. The troops from the southern provinces were going to the Japanese battlefield. Naturally, Wei Jichen had to go to the provinces in person to inspect these troops and cheer them up.

    These armies can be said to be new armies trained by the previous provinces, or they are not, because after reorganization, a large number of generals in those armies came from Wei Jichen's direct troops, and a large number of junior officers came from military academies in the north.  .

    This is Wei Jichen¡¯s first trip to southern China after he ascended the throne. Needless to say, all parties in the country are paying attention. Some people with ulterior motives are also ready to take action.

    Security work was the top priority, and the Imperial Guard dispatched a thousand elite troops to escort them all the way.

    However, when Wei Jichen went south to inspect the provinces, the people who were most excited were the people in the southern provinces. They hoped that Wei Jichen's southern tour would bring new trends to the south.

    **This is a problem left over from the previous dynasty. Wei Jichen has implemented the New Deal in all the northern provinces, and each province has established an Independent Commission Against Corruption to deal with corruption issues, which has fundamentally curbed the corruption problem in the northern provinces.

    Wei Jichen has always been merciless when it comes to corrupt officials. Those who deserve to go to jail go to jail, and those who deserve to be beheaded beheaded. There are millions of Chinese people. Even if all officials are removed from office, they are not afraid of finding no one to serve as officials.  .

    Under the iron-blooded methods of Wei Jichen, the political atmosphere in the northern provinces was completely wiped out.

    "As for the southern provinces, because they were peacefully unified, the appointment of officials has not changed at all, and the corruption problem can be imagined, which is no different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

    However, as Wei Jichen goes south, I believe that all this will change. Youdao is a heavy code in troubled times. Wei Jichen, who has completely controlled the military power of each province, no longer has any worries. He can let go and do things that he wanted to do but couldn't do before.  things.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    With the buzzing sound, a train came from afar and was heading towards Jinan. But those who knew the inside story could tell at a glance that the train was a military train.

    In one of the carriages, dozens of soldiers wearing black uniforms of the Imperial Guard could be seen looking out with vigilant faces. They had light and heavy machine guns, and even dark muzzles on the carriage. As long as there was any disturbance below,  I believe they will all act in time.

      The speed of the train at this time was naturally not comparable to the speed of trains in later generations. On some sections, even horses could catch up. It is no wonder that these soldiers looked nervous and looked like they were facing a powerful enemy.

    In the carriage, Wei Jichen and Li Queer were sitting together, while Zhao Bingjun and Tan Sitong were sitting opposite them.

    Li Que'er was holding Wei Jichen's arm, wearing a long black coat and a lady's hat, leaning on the seat with her eyes closed. Along the way, Zhao Bingjun rarely heard the empress speak. Li Que'er seemed to be half  Like transparent people.

    " However, Zhao Bingjun was doing secret work. When he reported intelligence in the past, he reported to this person. He did not dare to look down on Li Que'er. Therefore, Zhao Bingjun treated Li Que'er with utmost respect along the way, which made Tan Sitong extremely surprised.

    Zhao Bingjun was the chief of the Central Police Department of the Chinese Empire. In theory, all the police in the country were under his control. He was in a very powerful position. Tan Sitong was the Minister of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. It was precisely because he accompanied Wei Jichen south that he disturbed the nerves of some officials.  .

    Wei Jichen held a lot of newspapers in his hand. After reading them, he handed them to Tan Sitong and said with a smile: "Resurrection, it seems that some people don't want to see you."

    Tan Sitong took it and took a look. The newspaper only wrote about his anti-corruption achievements in recent years. There were countless heavyweight officials who were pulled down by Tan Sitong.

    Tan Sitong smiled nonchalantly, then folded the newspaper and put it aside, and replied: "Your Majesty, you don't do bad things, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. If they dare to commit crimes against the wind, then they will go to jail for good deeds."  A day of preparation.¡±

    Wei Jichen had already said at the beginning of the year that corrupt officials would be severely punished and officials at all levels should be honest and self-disciplined.

    Wei Jichen is not going to pursue the money he made from the Qing government before, but now that the new government has been established, these officials have been given several months to adapt. If they still dare to reach out, they will definitely be caught.

    Of course, some officials turned a deaf ear to Wei Jichen's words, thinking that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, so how could Wei Jichen stand up to them?

    In fact, this remark at the beginning of the year was the last chance and the last warning Wei Jichen gave them.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Veterans like Wang Wenshao and Li Hongzhang have long realized that Wei Jichen is serious about it. When they were in the previous dynasty, they already had a lot of wealth, and they could still live a very comfortable life without reaching out for money.

    Therefore, when Li Hongzhang and others saw the news, they changed their identities and became upright officials one by one. Since Wei Jichen's words came out, they have never been greedy for a penny.

    There are many people who do not know how to live or die. Thinking of the huge number of corrupt officials, Wei Jichen couldn't help but sigh and said: "I finally understand Zhu Yuanzhang's helplessness. Even if he peels off the skin of corrupt officials and lights up lanterns in the sky, corrupt officials are still rushing one after another.  Death, I can¡¯t kill them all no matter how I kill them.¡±

    "Yes, Your Majesty, Mozi is right. Human nature is evil. It has only been one month since the end of the year, but hundreds of major corruption cases have been investigated and dealt with, and more than a thousand officials have been dealt with.  , If we want to reverse the corruption legacy left over from the previous dynasty, we can only quickly improve the system." Tan Sitong said with deep approval.

    "The rebirth statement makes sense!" Wei Jichen nodded slightly and asked with a smile: "I wonder how the official property declaration and disclosure system is being developed?"

    Tan Sitong said with admiration: "Your Majesty's method is wonderful. After this system is implemented, I believe there will be a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all officials. The regulations of the system have been almost completed. I believe your Majesty will come from the south."  After returning to the capital, you can implement it immediately."

    "That's good. The Independent Commission Against Corruption will first tally up the property in my hands. Those should be returned to the national treasury and those should be owned by me privately. They must be clearly distinguished and do not let the country's money become my personal money."  Wei Jichen decided to make his property public first. Honest people should be rectified before themselves. Wei Jichen's sources of income were all clean and there was nothing shameful.

    As soon as Wei Jichen said these words, even Zhao Bingjun, who was sitting across from him, was heartbroken. How many monarchs since ancient times could do what Wei Jichen did?

    Tan Sitong said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, your business is too huge, and some of it involves foreign countries. It is not appropriate to make it public, otherwise foreigners will definitely take advantage of you."

    Wei Jichen thought for a moment and replied: "If it involves commercial secrets, it does not need to be announced to the public, but the Independent Commission Against Corruption must keep a record."

    Now even he himself doesn¡¯t know how much property Wei Jichen owns. He is planning to transfer some strategic resources from his private ownership to the state¡¯s.

    It seems that it is from his left hand to his right hand, but in fact it is not the case.?All of this money can be used as he wishes. If it becomes owned by the state, the proceeds will flow into the national treasury and become part of the national policy revenue.

    Tan Sitong praised: "It is a great blessing for the country that your Majesty has done this, but I don't know how many corrupt officials will be killed."

    Wei Jichen laughed and said, "If He Shen is defeated and Jiaqing is full, it would be good for these corrupt officials to contribute more to the war against Japan."
