When Qiao Yu and Lu Wanqing saw the girl's righteous appearance, they thought it was extremely funny. What is the mentality of these upper-class nobles? You killed their father and brother, and now you have become Tsering and ungrateful!
Lu Wanqing took a few steps, hugged the excited Tsering, and glanced at the girl: "It was obviously your family who killed her relatives, how could you confuse right and wrong like this!"
Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't feel guilty at all, but became more confident: "They are lazy and steal our things. It is natural for them to be punished. They brought it on themselves. I saved her with good intentions, so she should be grateful!"
"How do you know they are lazy? Besides, even if they steal some livestock feed, do they deserve to die? Is this a capital crime?"
When the little girl saw Lu Wanqing's expression, she was a little angry and a little scared, but she still held out her chest and insisted: "This is a centuries-old rule. They are all untouchables and slaves. Everything they have is given by us."
Yes! This is God’s will.”
"From now on, there is no god here, only the law. Everyone is equal before the law, and there will be no aristocrats anymore!" Qiao Yu saw that the little girl looked confident and kind, and he became more and more angry in his heart. It was not directed at this ignorant person.
Girls, but against this perverted slavery system.
Treating people as adults, the upper class will always look condescending. They have nothing to do wrong, everything is the fault of the slaves. Until later generations, there are still a small group of people who are trying to summon souls for this system, and the descendants of the nobles are also going around recalling the memories of those who once owned them.
In the beautiful era, what they pursue is the feeling of being superior to others, and what they pursue is the happiness of treating others as slaves and humiliating them at will.
The rules that have been practiced on the snow-covered plateau for hundreds of years should indeed be changed. Qiao Yu only stayed in Batang for five days, and news of the Sichuan Army on the northern front also came. Zhu Qinglan and his army had retaken Qamdo.
This gateway into Tibet was regained and more than 2,000 rebels were wiped out.
With both the northern and southern fronts successfully secured, Qiao Yu hurriedly mobilized the armies to unite and then march towards Lhasa. Just as the Sichuan army was advancing with great success, the British could not sit still anymore. They tried every means to split China and swallow up Tibet. Who would be willing to watch?
The Chinese army successfully suppressed the rebellion, but at this time the British did not have much power at their disposal. Although the British still had some colonial troops in India, their combat capabilities were limited. Especially because of the special geography of Tibet, it was difficult for the British army to fulfill its role.
Some fighting ability.
And the most important thing is that the confrontation between the two major European groups is getting more and more serious at this time. Although the great powers are still not sure when the war will break out, everyone knows that the war is not far away. Under this situation, it will be difficult for the UK to mobilize its power.
Plunge into the Far East.
However, the British Minister Zhu Erdian did not think so. In the Far East, just a sign of the British Empire was enough, and the British had too many cards, so Zhu Erdian went to visit Yuan Shikai with confidence.
At this time, Lao Yuan was actually not feeling well. The disarmament work in the south had not yet been completed. The treasury was empty and he was living on loans. What made Lao Yuan even more worried was that many of his generals had begun to have their own plans. Now Beiyang
After taking control of the world, it's time to take credit and receive rewards. Although you can't make your wife a wife, you still have to give everyone some sweetness. But where did Lao Yuan come from with so many big gift packages?
The power of the Central Democratic Party in the south is not small, and the Liberation Association is also actively expanding. Beiyang is not yet able to do whatever it wants, and it is far from the time to reward the world. Lao Yuan is always asking himself why his subordinates and he are not of the same mind.
.….
Of course, there was also a good thing. Qiao Yu led the army to rescue Batang and Qamdo. At this time, he had already begun to march towards Tibet. He marched quickly and quickly put down the rebellion, which made Lao Yuan very proud.
Soon, major newspapers began to praise Lao Yuan for his decisive handling.
Just when Lao Yuan was happy, Zhu Erdian came to visit. Lao Yuan suddenly felt a thump in his heart. This Supreme Emperor was definitely up to no good, but Lao Yuan still wanted to see him. He invited Zhu Erdian to Huairen Hall and divided them.
The guests and hosts took their seats.
Zhu Erdian smiled at Lao Yuan: "Your Excellency, the President, in principle we agree with the loan matter discussed between your country and the four-nation bank group, and we are also willing to carry out comprehensive economic cooperation with your country and help your country develop its economy!
"
In fact, since he came out, Lao Yuan has known that whether it is to pacify the South or to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, everything is inseparable from money, and the best way is to borrow money. Therefore, Lao Yuan has borrowed money from the Four Nations Bank Group several times, relying on
It is only with these loans that Beiyang can survive to this day. This is where Lao Yuan is smarter than Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun almost sold his pants, but he still couldn't get much funds.
But now the problem has arisen again, that is, the dismantling of the southern army will cost a lot of severance expenses. Tao Chengzhang has been busy with this matter since he took charge of Nanjing. Tao Chengzhang also reported to Lao Yuan several times and repeatedly requested financial support, and
He asked for 20 million taels. In fact, this was the result of Tao Chengzhang's careful calculation. In the original history, he asked for 30 million taels.
However, Lao Yuan could not get out any money at this time, and even the prime minister Tang Shaoyi turned pale with worry, so he had to borrow money from foreigners again. Due to the huge amount of the loan, the matter was not clear yet, but today Zhu Erdian suddenly told Lao Yuan that Yingying had agreed
How could I not make Lao Yuan happy after getting a loan?
But Lao Yuan is not a fool. Why should he give you such a big benefit? Of course he wants the benefit. Lao Yuan is also smiling: "It is an honor for Yuan to get help from your country. I just don't know that Mr. Minister is still here."
Do you have any requirements?"
"Your Excellency, the British Empire can provide you with a loan of 10 million, with an interest of 4%, paid at 90%, repaid in forty years, and mortgaged with customs duties and salt taxes. What do you think?"
When Lao Yuan heard this condition, he immediately became excited. This was a much better deal in the past. The interest on the previous payments was more than 5%. When did the British become so generous? Lao Yuan also had some thoughts in his heart.
The British must have additional conditions.
"Mr. Minister, I am very grateful for your country's generosity. I am very grateful, but please tell me all the conditions!"
The smile on Zhu Erdian's face grew wider: "Mr. President is really a smart man. We only have a small request, that is, the Sichuan army must withdraw from Tibet, Tibet implements local autonomy, and China promises not to send any officials or troops to Tibet!"
When Lao Yuan heard Zhu Erdian's conditions, his face became a little ugly. The British wanted to turn Tibet into an independent kingdom. If he agreed, he would be known as a traitor. If he didn't agree, he would have to
How to maintain the loan? Lao Yuan suddenly fell into a dilemma.
"President Yuan Da, the British Empire has always supported you. I also very much hope that China and Britain can establish a more friendly relationship. As long as you can agree to this, the British government will do its best to deal with you and provide help!"
Zhu Erdian continued to offer attractive terms, and the battle in Lao Yuan's heart became more and more intense. After a while, Lao Yuan said: "Mr. Minister, this matter is of great importance. Let me think about it first!" Zhu Erdian also knew not to push too hard.
