The whole room suddenly became quiet, and Hurd and his wife's brother Pei Shikai's faces became gloomy. Only Yang Shixiang was still smiling with a spring breeze on his face, as if nothing had happened.

Hurd raised his wine glass and gestured slightly, touched Pei Shikai. Then he drank a little bite. Everyone was chaotic and looked over.

As Hurd signaled, everyone sat down.

Heard still stood and said lightly: "I have been loyal to serving the royal family and this empire for nearly 30 years. Seeing the empire gradually stabilized and the exchanges with civilized countries in the world are becoming more and more normal. I feel very relieved. In the process of joining the civilized world, the empire needs a large number of people who understand the entire civilized society to participate in construction and management. Whether it is finance, politics, education, technology, or military... With the conscience of a foreign employee who served the Qing Dynasty, I have been urging and suggesting that the royal family send more international students and introduce more foreign personnel. But I am ashamed to say that due to various reasons, the results are very little.

Even in some places where foreign personnel have been introduced, besides our model customs, many places, the introduced figures are not the first-class talents in our civilized world. Looking at the local governors and vagabonds who do not know the military at all, the useless cannons introduced by the local area, and the rifles that lag behind the times. Looking at an apprentice who can become an advisory technician in the manufacturing bureau, I can only feel deeply heartache!

I know that the empire's desire to join the civilized world has natural respect for all people from the civilized world. But as an elderly person who has become a servant of the empire, my conscience does not allow me to watch these cheaters delay the precious time of the royal family and the empire!

A young man, a young man in his twenties, wrote a book composed of materials that can be excerpted from various public books. I have never heard of this person who was praised by the intersection of the civilized world... Maybe I have been away from home for too long... I am here, with respect, how many countries have you traveled to, how many great people in the civilized world, how much do you know about the civilized world? What insightful suggestions do you have for the current policies of the empire? The construction of the imperial army and navy is progressing steadily, and the relationship between the empire and civilized countries is gradually improving. Do you have your own unique suggestions for this process? As an old man, I listen here quietly with a humble mood."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Yifan.

Xu Yifan was holding a cigar in his mouth, and although his face was still smiling, his expression slowly sank.

The little butterfly swelled his wings and actually rolled up such a surging and deep undercurrent in the capital. His own book became the theoretical basis for the conservative Zhuanyu Banners in the Qing Dynasty to try to collect power. The Westernization School also began to fight back. The most influential foreigner, Hed, who had been honored and the Westernization School, had almost always been the same as the Westernization School, and he also went barefoot in battle like this.

Thinking about it, after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Li Hongzhang was in the position. Without the strong support of the leaders of the Westernization faction in this place, in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty's powerful people who were so stubborn that they almost refused any change, Hede had become an annoying figure. If he had not been a foreigner, he would have held the customs power that the Qing government would never dare to move, and was guaranteed by the great powers. He would have been in the position long ago.

However, his influence still declined greatly, and he no longer had the might of competing with Li Hongzhang and calling for the wind and rain. The Gengzi Incident was a counterattack by the Qing Dynasty, and Hede was in it, and he could not say a word. After the Gengzi, Li Hongzhang passed away. Yuan Shikai resurrected, and the Westernization forces that rose to the end of Xiantong were back. When Xuantong came to power and Yuan Shikai, the last official of Beiyang, was ordered to return to his hometown by the Qing Dynasty, the disheartened Hude suddenly left a note and resigned and returned to his hometown.

One end was the Westernization faction and the other end was the powerful and powerful Manchus. He could have deeply stirred up the mist and clouds of Beijing.

One side wants to collect power, the other side strives to fight back. As the initiator, he is caught in the middle. Hed and Yang Shixiang are so big that they want to criticize him, the Thai-Si East New Legend!

Both sides have not yet broken up, but they have focused on the firepower on him first.

The problem that had been circling in his mind for a long time suddenly came to an end, and he felt extremely light and he had to do it, but that's all!

He took off the cigar and sprayed a mouthful of blue-gray smoke in a brutal manner.

"Mr. He, your house in Potadan County, Northern Ireland is surrounded by the lake and water, and is very quiet. Your wife is also an angel-like figure. She has also been on the journey to Europe. Unexpectedly, when she arrived in Beijing, she saw you, the pillar of the foreign official.

My Qing Dynasty has been in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, and it was unchanged. Xian was in the rebellion of Hongyang. The world changed. Local governors and governors divided the power and each performed their own actions. When the Lijin was in hand, the central wealth would be gone. When the local camps and governors practiced and carried out their own actions. Then the central troops would be gone. When the tariffs were sent to the generals, the central authority would be gone!

I see that my pilgrimage and saints inherited the saints and replaced them, and the center is so weak. What is the good thing? Students look at the country that has risen later. Then there are Prussia, who has acquired the power of various states in Prussia, and thus formed a great cause of the empire. The Japanese people in the east also returned the documents and compiled the army that the Japanese emperor personally led. The power was in power and the country was strong. All education, industry, and finance were implemented according to the orders of the central government, and no one could destroy the government.

In the past, when Sino-French wars were invaded, the Nanyang Navy was destroyed. Where is the Beiyang Navy? In the future, the Beiyang will defend the enemy, who will be rescued? How can the local affairs of the central government be used to express their shortcomings?

Even if the adults have two or three things they will receive, they will listen to the students.

One is the refinement of the Beiyang naval and continental division, with foreign guns and cannons, and iron armored silos. It was a grand event for a while, but the land divisions did not belong to each other. The war in Taixi has been the main battle of hundreds of thousands of strong powers. Prussia has a general staff. It is trained and dispatched on weekdays and commanded in wartime. The equipment of each battalion is uniform, and it is a battle, which will achieve great success. The army of the Sixth Division of the Japanese Emperor also has a general staff, which is in charge of the central authority to train the recruitment. On the other hand, once the war begins, who will govern the mob of the hundreds of battalions? How can local governors and governors place their powers and pay attention to power in life and death? If they do not control the center of power and train the army in the world, how can the whole country be deeply and unshakable?

The Beiyang navy was guarding the sea gust and the territory was clearly distinguished. There were police officers in the South China, and they turned a deaf ear. Where is the navy in this country? What is the army in this place? Even if they spend huge amounts of money and purchase hundreds of ships, they are just dogs guarding the households, and they are not brave enough to traverse the sea. The naval yamen is just a useless thing.

Second, the model customs. Students look at an independent country, and there is no customs in charge of human hands! The Japanese are in debt, but there is no customs mortgage management. Even if Master He handles customs, the bad things are absolutely clear. Five percent of the tariffs per year are even worse than those of corruption! The British foreign goods arrive at the port only 5% of the tariffs. Our dynasty has a duty of tea, rhubarb, silk, and soybean ore. Students have carefully examined the Taixi tariffs, and the lows are 175% and the highs are as high as 46%! If the tariff rights are in charge of our hands, it is possible to pay off the goods in one go! Those who control their lifeline and have a reputation for benefiting our country will be foolish and rude, and have never heard of it!"

Seeing Xu Yifan talking there, many powerful people who attended the meeting applauded. The foreigners' faces became whiter and whiter. Hurd's wine glass was almost squeezing out of water.

Many people also began to look at the young man. There was no airtight wall in the officialdom, and it was not unaware of the summons of Mr. Weng and Yi Laoliu.

What are the plans of this kid?

Xu Yifan's thoughts that were circling in his mind at this time were not enough to be told by outsiders.

His expression was plain with a cigar in his arms, but the content in his words became more and more intense.

"... As for how many countries students have visited in Thailand, how broad they have learned and how deep they feel. These are just small matters in the last quarter. Students only know how to enrich the country and strengthen the army, not local affairs. Even in Thailand, how can they not worry about the deep worries?

As for Lord He’s mother country, Lord He’s origin, the separation of Northern Ireland was already in it. The British Empire’s national power had already reached its peak. Just over ten years ago, the dervish rebellion in North Africa. Da Ying was restrained by many parties and was in a dilemma. Da Ying also helped our dynasty to quell the Hong Yang Rebellion Sir Gordon, and he was destroyed here! The reinforcements planned by Da Ying actually contacted Ethiopia to send troops to rescue!

Germany was strong and rose to Central Europe. The Russian Empire expanded into the Far East and looked at the Central and Near East. The Boers in South Africa were rebellious and restrained from many sides, with hundreds of thousands of troops and navy spread all over the world, claiming that the sun was not set. In fact, there were only wars everywhere under their feet!

The so-called civilized countries in Europe still have great hidden dangers. In the next few decades, there will be major events that change the national system..."

Foreigners who know Chinese suddenly clamored. Pei Shikai saw that Hurd's face became increasingly ugly. He coughed and said coldly: "What are the hidden dangers in civilized countries?"

Xu Yifan smiled, but spoke in German: "A ghost, a communist ghost echoed over Europe..."

Yang Shixiang and Hed looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

This guy is really proficient in the art of Taisie!

Xu Yifan laughed a long time ago, picked up a glass of champagne and drank it all, bowed his fists and said, "Brothers have enough wine, say goodbye. Lord He, Lord Yang, thank you for seeing the summons. If you have any concerns, you must wait for the meeting at Xialiuyuguan City Friendship Escort Agency."

As soon as he finished speaking, he actually left like this.
Chapter completed!
