Chun Shisanniang's expression changed drastically. He waved his hand to let the other people in the room leave, and whispered, "Could it be...could it be that my sister came here with a secret order from the head of state?"
"Could it be that the head of state intended to let Zai Chun destroy Prince Gong's faction? Come to think of it, the biggest obstacle to the secret agreement between the head of state and Zai Chun is these conservatives. If we don't get rid of them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement the fortress plan!"
"No, sister, please don't make random guesses..." Cai Bixia smiled and waved her hand, "I just made random assumptions. I just made some deductions based on the existing situation. It's an occupational disease. Don't take it seriously! "
"Thirteenth Mother, let me tell you the truth! The head of state has actually made strategic adjustments to us Chinese people. If we say that when we were rising before, we could rely on our passion to bet on the fate of the country, and even the head of state could personally Go to the battlefield and fight!”
"Then after the Franco-Prussian War, we Chinese must never go back to the old path!"
"We must develop from a reckless start-up to a pioneering period that relies on science. What this requires is that we change our thinking!"
"Why does Emperor Tongzhi need our Chinese General Staff to formulate various plans when he returns to China? This is actually an important manifestation of using scientific methods to replace primitive human rule!"
"The combined force is always greater than the individual strength. No matter how talented the head of state is, I'm afraid it's not as good as the planning behind the scenes of a hundred senior staff members!"
"Shisanniang, you are the deputy director of the CIA. You have a transcendent status and you are the top leader in intelligence work in the capital... If the head of state has a plan to launch a mutiny when Zai Chun returns to Luang, then you will definitely see this plan. of!"
"Your power level is still quite high, don't have no confidence in yourself... Now that you haven't seen the mutiny plan, it means that the head of state himself does not want the Manchus to start killing each other now!"
Chun Shisanniang was relieved, and her expression suddenly became relaxed, "So that's it, I really thought too much..."
"Hey...it's not that my sister is overthinking, but that our head of state has changed too fast. In this era of great change that has not been seen in three thousand years, what will remain unchanged?"
"Just wait a little longer. After the head of state has inspected Annan and Luzon, and after the head of state meets with Naha, he will convene all the leaders of the Chinese nation to conduct a major training in Ryukyu!"
"When the time comes... if you have any questions, Thirteenth Mother will go directly to the head of state to ask questions. The head of state is still the same head of state, and has not changed at all!"
"No matter how powerful the Chinese become, his innocent heart will never change!"
Chun Shisanniang has never been a close official of the head of state. She has always stayed away from Xiao Letian and carried out intelligence work in the north of the Qing Dynasty. Now that the Chinese people are developing more and more rapidly, Xiao Letian can mobilize more and more talents. .
These old people, especially the officials who are not around Xiao Letian all year round, are a little panicked, for fear of losing their holy favor!
Thousands of years of feudal ideology cannot be changed in a few years. In the era of feudal centralization, the amount of power was only related to the distance from the emperor.
Are the feudal officials powerful? But being thousands of miles away from the emperor, in many cases it is not as easy to speak as a personal eunuch!
The first-rank officials gave gifts to the eunuchs and guards, and there were countless people who flattered them!
It is normal for officials like Chun Shisanniang, who has always been far away from Xiao Letian, to feel a little unconfident, but today, after Cai Bixia enlightened her like this, she felt much better.
"Sister...this time you are here to hand over the specific details of the secret agreement with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Do you have any plans?"
Cai Bixia smiled bitterly, "This job is not easy to do. Although Zai Chun signed the secret agreement, first of all, he has not yet personally governed, and secondly, his governance still relies heavily on his bureaucracy!"
"I'm just afraid that his orders won't be carried out!"
The fortress plan was an important national strategy in the late period of Xiao Letian's administration, and it was also the fundamental strategy to encroach on the Central Plains and finally win the country.
The fortress plan is just a confidential statement within the Chinese people. The public name of this strategy is actually the "Twenty-One Detailed Rules for the Qing Dynasty's Acceptance of Chinese Special Economic Zone Investments"
Referred to as "Twenty-one Secret Covenants"!
This set of treaties is very large and responsible. In the secret treaty, Chun promised to open to the Chinese: Zhenjiang, Jiangning, Anqing, Jiujiang, Hankou, Hanyang, Yueyang, Chongqing, Luzhou... all the way to Chengdu, ten cities along the Yangtze River.
These cities will all be classified as new cities and establish industrial zones dominated by Chinese people, imitating the Northern Industrial Zone in Tanggu.
After the opening of special zones along the Yangtze River, the second batch opened: ten coastal industrial zones including Jinzhou Lushun, Dengzhou, Jiaozhou, Haizhou, Chongming Haimen, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Xiamen, Shantou, Guangzhou, Qiongzhou...
These twenty industrial zones completely replicated the Tanggu model. The Chinese recognized that the Qing Dynasty had absolute sovereignty over the zones, and the Chinese only leased them for 100 years.
All special zones must build walls to separate them from the Qing army and civilians!
The special zone has independent judicial power, independent taxation, independent military and police systems!
After the opening of two batches of special zones, Twenty-One also involves the detailed rules for later railway construction!
Zai Chun agreed to lay a railway between the special zones to facilitate the exchange of goods and personnel. Specific railway construction details would require another round of negotiations.
The power of the foreign devils would definitely not give up when the Qing Dynasty built its railway network. The British also received the same promise from Zaichun, otherwise the British would not have given Emperor Tongzhi so much military assistance.
Even the United States, Germany, and France will not ignore it, and there must be shares among them.
Xiao Letian's plan is very big, but he is not in a hurry and is very patient. The construction of these special zones alone cannot be completed without ten years of work.
First, Emperor Tongzhi was forced to implement these treaties and build fortresses one by one to form industrial centers. As long as there are goods, logistics and capital flow, these fortresses will soon turn into emerging prosperous cities.
The ability of industrial cities to create wealth is unmatched by those primitive commercial ports!
As soon as these special zones start construction, it is conceivable that there will be a huge siphon of wealth!
If cheap industrial products are exported in large quantities, the original handicraft industry of the surrounding Manchus will be completely wiped out, and capital and logistics will continue to be concentrated in the industrial zones.
The first economic invasion is complete!
There are also coastal areas along the Yangtze River. If you put down these twenty industrial zones, they will be twenty water pumps for wealth!
How can primitive handicrafts compete with industrial power? Even the industrial products of the foreign devils are no match, because the local industrial zones also save logistics costs.
How much can local production save on freight costs alone?
It can be said that the fortress plan will make money from the beginning. The difficult part now is to get the Tongzhi Emperor and the Manchu bureaucracy to accept it.
There is bound to be resistance. Even if Zai Chun nods, it may not be easy. Those old stubborns will definitely hold back!
Cai Bixia had a headache just thinking about those die-hards. "Hey... we can't be too anxious! Let me wait a little longer. I feel like these people are about to fall out!"
"After they bite each other and the blood is dripping, it will not be too late for us to take action!"
