Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"Have you been interrogated?"

"Interrogated, these people are junior officers of the Japanese Kwantung Army who escaped from North Korea. They hid in Beijing a month ago, waiting for an opportunity to retaliate against senior officials in Beijing. Later, our army landed in Japan, and the Nagasaki massacre killed dozens of Japanese. With tens of thousands of people, these people secretly swore that one day they would kill Brother Jiang. This time, Brother Jiang went to Beijing to meet the emperor, and somehow they got wind of the news, so they brought guns and ammunition to set up a spot in advance, trying to seize the opportunity. They said that the reason why they chose Dongcheng was because they had checked the situation beforehand. There are fewer security personnel here and the population is relatively dense. Once something happens, it is difficult for security personnel to reach the scene quickly.”

"Who are they entrusted with?"

"They insisted that it was to avenge the victims of Nagasaki, and no one was in charge."

Zhao Bingjun's eyes flickered: "It seems that there is fraud in their confessions. It seems that it's not just that. From the hiding at the beginning to the stepping on the spot, to today's grasp of the timing of the assassination, someone should be behind the scenes to inform these people, and even do it for them. Backer. But before we have conclusive evidence, we can’t arbitrarily say that this matter must be caused by someone secretly. After I go back and interrogate myself, I must get to the bottom of the matter.”

After leaving the hospital, Zhao Bingjun and Xu Shichang came to see the emperor together, and told the story of what happened today. Guan Xuqing frowned upon hearing this: "Zhi'an, what happened to your security bureau? To be assassinated at the feet of the emperor, if it gets out, won’t the Germans laugh out loud?”

"Yes, your majesty blamed it. It's all because of your ineffectiveness. Please forgive me." Zhao Bingjun said with a stern face.

Xu Shichang saw that Zhao Bingjun was a bit embarrassed to come to the stage, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I can't blame the Security Bureau for this matter. As far as I know, in order to deal with the Sino-Korean and Sino-Japanese wars, most of the military intelligence agents were arranged in North Korea." , Japan, and the eastern coastal areas of the empire. Now that the war has just ended, military intelligence personnel still need to stay for a period of time to prepare for unexpected events. Therefore, the intelligence network in Beijing is a bit weaker than before. The blame can only be blamed for not thinking carefully beforehand. Without proper protection for Chiang Kai-shek, if a convoy of convoys had been sent to guard along the route, such a thing would not have happened."

Guan Xuqing waved his hand impatiently: "Stop talking." The hall was silent for a while.Guan Xuqing calmed down and said: "I'm not only thinking about the assassination of Chiang Kai-shek. I want to strengthen the security control of the imperial city, so I must register the population. I also had discussions with some officials about this matter. We discussed it, but it was too late to make more plans because of the frequent wars, so it was delayed.

In the past, the scale of cities was small, and most of the population was distributed in the countryside. The method of apportioning the population into acres was performed, and the population was managed too loosely. If this continued, the imperial court did not have a good understanding of the number and distribution of the population in various places. Master, but with the development of industry, the urban population is gradually increasing, especially in a big city like Beijing with millions of households, where expatriates and businessmen from various countries are mixed, and it is easy to be infiltrated by foreign anti-China forces. Once there is a change, it is very easy difficult to control.I decided to start with the capital first, establish a Civil Affairs Department to register the population under the jurisdiction of each region, and establish a clear household registration system. If this method can be implemented smoothly, it will be implemented in all provinces of the country next year. "

"It's still the emperor's foresight. After the household registration system is established, the security bureau can keep track of everyone's situation in the capital at any time, so that Chinese and foreigners can be clearly distinguished." Zhao Bingjun deeply agreed.

"The key is to carry out stricter registration management for foreign nationals and businessmen in the future. All life, old age, sickness and death must be registered in the register. Foreign nationals living in China must be regularly reviewed. Those who do not meet the residence qualifications must leave the country within a limited time. Foreign businessmen can treat them as investment. Properly extend the stay period, but the monitoring cannot be relaxed. For scientists and businessmen with world influence, permanent residency can be established and Chinese nationality can be applied, but strict identity verification must be done in advance. This matter must be done by the Civil Affairs Department and the Security Bureau. "It seems that Guan Xuqing made a decision after considering this matter for a long time.

He also said to Zhao Bingjun: "Now the Security Bureau must concentrate its efforts to search out the remaining anti-China forces in the capital. As long as it is confirmed that they are plotting wrongdoers, they will be taken to the shooting range in the suburbs of Beijing and shot on the spot!"

"How is Chiang Kai-shek's injury?" Guan Xuqing asked.

"Back to the emperor, the doctor has checked it, and it must be fine." Xu Shichang replied.

Guan Xuqing smiled bitterly: "Chiang Kai-shek is really unlucky. He came to Beijing for the first time to meet with him. He just got a good job and was assassinated before he took office. Fortunately, he was lucky. The Nagasaki massacre made him a The public enemy of the Japanese, it seems that he will have many twists and turns in the future."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. As the so-called jade cannot be made into a weapon, Chiang Kai-shek is still young and needs a lot of experience. Otherwise, once he becomes arrogant, wouldn't there be another Yuan..." Xu Shichang wanted to talk about Yuan Shikai, but when he said it, he felt extremely If it wasn't right, I swallowed the last two words abruptly.

Zhao Bingjun looked at Xu Shichang with supercilious eyes, and said in his heart that this matter is a scar on the emperor's heart. You, Xu Shichang, have been in the officialdom for so many years, and it is really inappropriate to raise it in front of the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Guan Xuqing didn't take it seriously: "Chiang Kai-shek is Chiang Kai-shek, and he can't become Yuan Shikai's in any case. I know this very well. But regarding Yuan Shikai's rebellion, all officials in the empire must always keep in mind and take it as a warning. "

"twitter."

Zhao Bingjun seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and Qi Zou said: "Your Majesty, the Soviet Union called yesterday, and Soviet Chairman Lenin invited you to visit Moscow soon."

"I know, hum, Lenin is in a hurry. As soon as the war on our side ended, he couldn't wait for us to send troops to support. This time it must be a matter of asking for help." In fact, the Soviet Union asked for help after the end of the Sino-Japanese War. It has never stopped. The Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs frequently sent messages to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking both parties to fulfill the treaty agreement. I couldn't wait any longer, so I simply invited the Chinese emperor to visit, and wanted to make this matter clear in person.

"Your Majesty, I have received news that Hitler has launched the so-called Operation Barbarossa to fully open the Eastern Front. The target of this operational plan is the Soviet Union, but I think that Hitler will never mobilize troops just for the Soviet Union. The goal is still China. The combat plan is to quickly conquer the eastern territory of the Soviet Union, from Arkhangelsk in the north to Astrakhan in the south. This intended ultimate goal is also called the AA front. In the past few months, the German army continued to use the blitzkrieg tactics that had won a complete victory in Western Europe, swept across most of the Eastern European plains, and wiped out millions of Soviet troops with outdated equipment and poor tactics, showing an incomparably brilliant art of war .

In order to prepare for the attack, Hitler dispatched 320 million people from the three army groups to the German-Soviet border, sent reconnaissance planes to sneak into the Soviet airspace for surveys, and also stockpiled a large amount of military supplies on the Eastern Front.But at the beginning, the Soviet Union did not anticipate the intentions of the German army, and was caught off guard when the war broke out.At the beginning, Lenin and Stalin naively believed that the Third Reich could not launch an attack less than two years after the signing of the Soviet-German non-aggression pact. They also firmly believed that Germany would wait until it took Britain before opening up a new battlefield.Lenin and the others really panicked when the soldiers pressed the border and the Soviet intelligence agency repeatedly issued warnings that the war was imminent. "Zhao Bingjun reported the information he had in detail.

Guan Xuqing didn't seem surprised, but said flatly: "Lenin is in a hurry, but we can't be in a hurry. The Japanese war fully demonstrated the combat strength of the imperial army. Even the invincible Hitler and Mussolini had to review China's policies. Evaluate."

"Does the emperor mean not to go to Moscow, or not to send troops to the Soviet Union?" Xu Shichang couldn't figure out what the emperor meant.

"Moscow is going, and it is good to see how the Soviets react to this war, but whether to send troops depends on the changes in the current situation. This needs an opportunity, understand? The most appropriate time to send troops will be subject to Unexpected results." Guan Xuqing pinched his brows and saw Wang Shang anxiously pacing up and down outside the hall, as if he had something to report, so he said to Zhao Bingjun and Xu Shichang: "If there is nothing wrong, you can kneel Ann."

"twitter."

As soon as the two left, Wang Shang entered the hall and played: "Sir Edmond, the president of the Rothschild family, is waiting outside the hall."

"Oh? Isn't he doing banking business in England? He's coming back so soon. I haven't seen him for quite a while, let's go." Guan Xuqing looked radiant, and he knew that Edmund's meeting with him this time must be nothing. Bad thing, after all, in this world, everyone is willing to deal with rich people, and the emperor is no exception.

"Your Majesty the Great Emperor, I am very glad to see your dragon face again. May God bless you forever young and always healthy." When Edmund saw the Emperor of China, it was as if honey had been smeared on his mouth, because Edmond I am not a fool. It is the same in ancient and modern China and abroad. Businessmen can only make a lot of money if they have a good relationship with politicians. Last year, if it was not for the backing of the Chinese emperor, how could the Rothschild family, which has been sunset, set off a huge financial boom in the UK? Storm, which made £50bn.

Guan Xuqing smiled and said: "Your God is the God of you Westerners. I don't need him to bless me, but I appreciate your kindness."

"Of course, of course, His Majesty the Great Emperor is a true dragon and a true god, so of course he doesn't need God's blessing. Hehe..." Edmond's compliment was dismissed by the other party, with an awkward smile on his face.

Guan Xu said in a clear voice: "But in the business circles of all countries in the world, my name is not as famous as your Rothschild, haha..."

"Your Majesty has praised, and praised, it is all thanks to His Majesty's strong support for the family business to be able to rise again."

"How is it? Since the headquarters moved to Shanghai, has your business been doing well?"

"Very good. Facts have proved that His Majesty's original suggestion... no, it was a decision, and it is completely correct. China has a stable political environment, and it has a vast territory and a large population. The construction of many areas requires financial support. The governments of various regions We are also very supportive of investment projects, and the rate of return on investment is also very high. The family has not only made many valuable investments in China, but with this stable market, our foreign business has also developed quite smoothly. They are all more willing to cooperate with us, because they know that the Rothschild family is bound together with the powerful Chinese Empire, and this is a new golden signboard of the family."

"Many construction projects in China are in the ascendant, but they lack construction funds. Your investment will also bring vitality to the development of these areas. There are many business elites and hard-working workers, and compared to the United States, the remuneration is still relatively low, you can recruit talents from China to your company, this is not a small fortune." Guan Xuqing thought Clearly, letting your Rothschild family come to China is not just to make you free money, one is to use the huge financial strength of this family to push forward the economic construction of weak areas, and the other is to solve the work of a large number of Chinese people Let the Chinese earn money from the Rothschild family, especially some high-achieving students who graduated from Chinese universities can learn a lot of management experience when they work in this old-fashioned company, which will be of great benefit to the future development of imperial companies. No harm.

Of course Edmund understands that doing business must benefit both parties, so that the business can last forever, "Your Majesty is right, the family has recruited many high-achieving Chinese management students, and they are currently playing their respective roles in various jobs. It has brought vitality to the family business." Edmon paused for a moment and continued: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, you have helped the family a lot. I have heard a Chinese saying that the favor of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring." , I dare not say that I will be able to repay each other, but I want to use my meager strength to do something for China."

This was the point of Edmond's meeting with him. Guan Xuqing pretended to be surprised and asked, "Really? Thank you so much. I don't know what kind of return Mr. Edmond plans to make?"

"I know that China has just experienced two wars between China and North Korea and China and Japan. As long as there is a war, the economy will suffer losses. I am a businessman and I am not interested in politics, but I firmly believe that China is the party of justice. His Majesty the Great Emperor Decision-making represents the voice of all people who yearn for peace. In order to support the cause of peace and repay His Majesty, the Rothschild family intends to spend one billion pounds on the military development of the empire. I must declare in advance that this money is free Yes, there will be no strings attached." Sir Edmund vowed.

Guan Xuqing was not in a hurry to express his position, and nodded his head slightly to show his approval, but his mind was spinning rapidly, saying that no business is not evil, as long as you are a businessman, you will not make a loss-making business, especially an international financial institution like Rothschild. Predators, will throw a billion pounds in vain?There must be something in it.After thinking about it, he seemed to have understood the truth, so he tentatively said: "I plan to use troops against the German Nazis."

Sure enough, Edmund's face immediately brightened, and his eyes lit up: "Okay, the German Nazis are too abominable. They wantonly trampled on the land of European countries and destroyed many industries. If His Majesty the Great Emperor can launch a war against the Nazis , That was definitely an extremely wise decision.”

Guan Xuqing immediately understood that the reason why Edmund invested in the Imperial Army was to let China send troops to the Nazis. After all, the Rothschild family started in Europe. Under the shadow of the Nazis, they had many industries in Europe They will all be affected, and Edmund hopes that China will defeat the Nazis as soon as possible, and his business kingdom can also reduce some losses.Immediately said to Edmond: "Mr. Edmond's industry in Europe may have suffered a lot of losses in the war, right?"

Edmund's face froze, and then he realized that he had slipped the tongue just now, and was exposed by the other party face to face, so he could only reply: "Yes, but my support for China's military is entirely out of my respect for the empire and His Majesty's personal feelings have little to do with the family's business in Europe."

Guan Xuqing clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Haha... Even if you are worried about your European business, it is reasonable, as a businessman, if it is not for profit, you cannot be called a businessman. I have accepted the funds, and thank you for your generosity Good deeds, as for sending troops to the Nazis, it depends on the development of the current situation, but I can tell you that as long as the Nazis continue to do evil like this, the empire will use troops against the Nazis sooner or later."

When Edmund heard this, he felt reassured, "His Majesty the Great Emperor is really wise, and the people of Europe are looking forward to the early arrival of that day day and night."

Two days later, Guan Xuqing took Air Force No. 1 plane and brought Liang Qichao, Xiong Xiling, Zaifeng, Feng Xianghua, Wu Tingfang and others to Moscow for a visit.

At 3 p.m. that day, the special plane finally arrived at Moscow Airport.Knowing in advance that the weather in Moscow would be very cold, Guan Xuqing wore a long coat lined with fox fur, and Wang Shang also held a heater for the emperor at any time, just in case.This long robe is also bright yellow, similar in style to the dragon robe, the more striking difference is that the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the clothes is more powerful than before.In addition, there is a short knife hanging on his waist, which is the treasured Yebilong knife in the previous Qing Dynasty. For Guan Xuqing, this knife has no practical function, and its symbolic meaning of power is greater.

When Guan Xuqing, accompanied by Feng Xianghua and Liang Qichao, walked down the flight ladder in good spirits, a grand welcome song sounded in front of the airport, and the Soviet military band that had been waiting there welcomed the distinguished guests from afar in this way After the military music was played, thirty "Madam" (beautiful girls) dressed in Soviet army uniforms came to Guan Xuqing and others with flowers in their hands, presented bouquets to the distinguished guests, and gave everyone a warm hug. Passionately kissed the guest on the cheek.Most of the accompanying officials understood the etiquette of the Russians, but the "clear people in the New Deal" like Kang Youwei were really blushed by Madam's move. Kang Youwei grinned and said in his heart: These Russians are really uncivilized people , how he hugged and hugged in broad daylight, and actually kissed himself, if this was reported back to Beijing, wouldn't he, the majestic Minister of Education, be laughed out of his teeth by others?

Seeing Kang Youwei's embarrassment, Guan Xuqing specially smiled and said to Kang Youwei: "Guangsha, don't look dissatisfied with your face. It is."

"Ah! So I still want to kiss the other party? No way, absolutely no way." Kang Youwei shook his head while saying "No way", which made everyone laugh for a while.At this time, a group of Soviet guards in dark green uniforms saluted the distinguished Chinese guests. What surprised Guan Xuqing was that these soldiers wore the same military caps as the Chinese Army, and all of them wore Chinese-made Huaxia Type 98 pistols. Holding a Huaxia Type 98 rifle, he looks energetic, and on the surface it does not seem to lack combat effectiveness.

A very capable Soviet officer dressed in a Chinese-style officer uniform walked over. Unlike those soldiers, this officer had a gold collar badge with three golden three-pointed stars on it.It can be seen from the clothing standard that this is a general-level officer from the Soviet Union.

The officer smiled at the Chinese emperor and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, I am Zhukov, Vice Chairman of the Soviet Defense Council. On behalf of the Soviet People's Committee and the National Defense Committee, I would like to welcome you to Moscow."

"Oh, it turns out that this person is Zhukov. It's better to meet him than to be famous." Thinking of this, Guan Xuqing smiled slightly: "Thank you, I am also very happy to come to Moscow."

Zhukov went on to say: "Comrade Lenin's health is not very good, and now he is waiting for you in Moscow's Red Square, so he has full authority to come to the airport to welcome you." After speaking, he stretched out his left hand: "This way please!"

"All stand at attention!" Zhukov accompanied the Chinese emperor and others to leave the landing site, and the soldiers guarding the airport saluted them with guns at the same time.However, Zhukov did not take the Chinese guests out of the airport, but walked slowly along a red carpet to a simple reviewing stand about 20 meters away from the landing point, and then invited Guan Xuqing to step onto the reviewing stand, where a For a small military parade, about one company of soldiers marched through the reviewing stand.In the end, Guan Xuqing and the Chinese officials, led by Zhukov, boarded the pre-prepared car and left the airport under heavy guards.
