Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 203 Going South to Suzhou and Hangzhou
In the dark, Guan Xuqing seemed to have a strange feeling, wondering whether such blatant research and manufacturing of aircraft in the capital would be discovered by the Germans.After all, the Germans now have many technical talents in the airship company in the capital, and people will understand what the Wright Brothers are doing there at a glance.In fact, he didn't know what happened in the capital, and he was thinking about whether he could find other excuses to cover up or simply put the research and development work in a remote village.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Kang has an urgent call from the capital." Wang Shang interrupted Guan Xuqing's thinking by passing the telegram.

Guan Xuqing brought his thoughts back again, and asked, "Well, did the prefect of Zhengzhou confess?"

Wang Shang said cautiously: "It seems that the foreign ambassador from the capital came to ask something."

Guan Xuqing took the telegram in doubt and looked at it carefully.

Sure enough, what he was worried about finally happened.It turned out that Germany did not contact the imperial court directly, but instead accused the United States of providing technical support to the Qing Dynasty in private, violating the cooperation plan signed by the two countries.

The Americans directly asked the Qing Dynasty how the two Americans entered the Qing Dynasty, what technical support they provided, and asked the Qing Dynasty to provide the recently developed content.

"Hmph, it's too deceiving. Who do I use to develop what content, do I still need to report it to foreigners?" Guan Xuqing threw the telegram aside and cursed angrily.

Wang Shang hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed his head to the ground, and tremblingly said: "The emperor calm down."

Guan Xuqing said to Wang Shang: "I want Kang Youwei to reply to the American ambassador, saying that the two foreigners they mentioned are not Americans. They are Germans. In the Qing Dynasty, they only assisted the Qing Dynasty in developing airships. Specifically, The content can let them ask the German ambassador. In addition, let Kang Youwei immediately transfer the Wright Brothers to Xinjiang. Find a place with flat terrain and few people for research and development, and let Nie Shicheng send a regiment to guard. All Tsinghua University that participated in the design and manufacture before The students also all went."

"twitter."

Although on the surface, all alliance agreements signed by the Qing Dynasty with Germany or the United States are equal agreements.There is no such humiliating and unequal treaty in history, but in fact the great powers still only regard the Qing Dynasty as a newly grown country, and they do not put the Qing Dynasty on the same level of equality as themselves in the true sense .For example, the great powers need to know clearly what the Qing Dynasty is developing and what weapons it has, and what it is developing itself does not need to let the Qing Dynasty know. Get lots of orders and silver.

The grenades and mortars invented by the Qing Dynasty have shocked the whole world. They will not let the same thing happen again. In other words, they hope that all the new weapons developed by the Qing Dynasty will have their own participation.Only in this way can we continue to have more initiative when cooperating with Daqing, and Daqing will have greater dependence on itself.The effect that William II wants to achieve now is that once the Qing Dynasty leaves Germany, it will not be able to obtain more and more advanced weapon resources, which is tantamount to losing the combat effectiveness of the troops.Only when the Qing Dynasty could not leave Germany and was too close to Germany, the alliance between Germany and the Qing Dynasty could be unbreakable.While cooperating, Germany can also have more initiative.

After dealing with the affairs in Henan, Guan Xuqing continued to go south overnight.It was a rare trip, and he didn't want to stay in Kaifeng for too long.Besides, Guan Xuqing had also learned that the temporary porridge shops were all paid for by the prefect of Kaifeng himself.The purpose is just to divert the refugees and consider the emperor's safety.The money spent every day is like flowing water. If he stays for another month, the magistrate will probably go bankrupt.Once he leaves, he will definitely use other methods to exploit the money from the people.So Guan Xuqing decided to go south immediately.

"Qichao, once I leave, the livelihood of these refugees will become a problem again! You draw up a charter, and the imperial court allocates some money to repair the levee as soon as possible and rebuild their homes. In addition, I am willing to go to Myanmar and Vietnam to farm Yes, the imperial court will give the land. Try to divert as many refugees as possible." Guan Xuqing instructed.

"Cha, I'll do it now." Liang Qichao turned and left.

Guan Xuqing continued to say to Wang Shang behind him: "Tell Feng Xianghua and Luo Ming that we will set off overnight to Hangzhou."

"Cha." Wang Shang hurried out.

Guan Xuqing and his party left Kaifeng overnight. Originally, Guan Xuqing wanted to go to Shandong again.There must be many officials who were corrupted in the breach of the embankment there, but if so many officials were dismissed at once, let alone the newly appointed officials are not necessarily clean officials, even if they were, they would not be able to find so many people to make up for it all at once. With so many vacancies for officials, there may be problems with normal local management at that time.Therefore, Guan Xuqing could only open one eye and close one eye.I went directly south to Hangzhou. I hope that the affairs of the governor of Henan and the prefect of Zhengzhou will sound the alarm for officials everywhere!

Along the way, he received many telegrams from the imperial court one after another.

Since the United States itself has not provided any technical support to Qing Dynasty at all, it believes in Qing Dynasty's words even more, and no one has seen the two Americans mentioned by Germany so far.However, the airship manufacturing plant jointly opened by Germany and the Qing Dynasty has aroused considerable interest in the Americans.

Although Heinze reported everything he saw in the capital to Wilhelm II, but only one day later, the place was empty.An empty no-man's land was restored.

In addition, Zhao Guangsheng, the prefect of Zhengzhou, finally confessed the whole thing in the Ministry of Industry.The money issued by the imperial court to repair the river embankment and Cai Kang, the governor of Henan, were all separated.As for the troubles caused by the refugees, they didn't know anything about it. No matter how much Kang Youwei tried to lure him, he couldn't learn more from him.

This matter has come to an end, Zhao Guangsheng was betrayed and cut in half.All family property was confiscated, but the family was not affected, and all moved to Myanmar, where the imperial court gave the land to be farmers!
After half a month of trekking, he finally arrived in Hangzhou. Guan Xuqing's determination to build a railway was also strengthened during the bumpy journey!

Since this was a private visit on Weibo, the arrival of Guan Xuqing and his party did not alarm the local officials, and they only rested in the local inn!And the guard group, which had already been disguised as ordinary people, surrounded the entire inn three times, in order to protect the safety of the emperor.Luo Ming even brought the reminder team of the guards to the inn, and the reminder team was responsible for all the meals for Guan Xuqing and the queen.

After arriving in Hangzhou, I really felt what it means to have heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below.Being in the city of Hangzhou, Guan Xuqing was integrated into the atmosphere of the city.Due to the geographical location of Hangzhou itself, in the era when the heavy industry in the southeast region was very prosperous, Hangzhou's shipbuilding industry and gun bureau were also very popular. In addition, silk, porcelain, tea and other things were special products.Guan Xuqing tasted the authentic Longjing there, which was more mellow than the one in the palace.
