In fact, in this era, constitutional monarchy is the best choice for China. The Chinese people need an emperor. Whether they admit it or not, this is a fact. A hundred years later, if you are still cheering for the inspection of the Eight Prefectures, you know that the emperor has never existed.
The Chinese people have been excised to the core. Although we have been bewitched by various ideas for a hundred years, in the end we have not actually left our expectations of the Lord, saints, ministers and virtuous people. This is a kind of sadness, and this is also a kind of helplessness. Since
So Yang Feng simply shouldn't let them take those detours at the cost of hundreds of millions of lives.
Just give them an emperor!
In the same way, a constitutional system can also meet the expectations of those capitalists. Of course, it is a true constitutional system, not a constitutional system that uses the Constitution as a footclothes. It wants to turn China into an era of plutocrats. Then again, which one in the world has
Isn’t the country controlled by plutocrats? You can’t rely on the great consciousness of the proletariat to promote economic development, right? That’s a joke! As for those representatives, members of the parliament are just a game, just like celebrities smearing their faces thickly
The only difference between cosmetics is how scary they look after the makeup is removed.
Not only is he worried that some people will resist him, the Chinese people in this era are still very simple. They are far from being deceived by the countries around them with ulterior motives and their pets, who use various slogans. The capitalists just want a free development.
On the platform, the common people just want to have a holy master who will not take away the food they need to feed their families, and he can give them all this.
Of course, this matter will have to wait for a while. Yang Feng has to wait for another trouble to happen in Beijing, so that he can go and take over the city as expected. As for what will happen, it is hard to say. Anyway, with so many contradictions gathered together, anything can happen.
, for example, there was a murder just yesterday. Tan Sitong, the core figure of the reformists, was shot to death on the way to court, and the murderer escaped. What's more important is that the patrol police under the control of the emperor, in the process of hunting down the murderer, actually met with Zai Zhen's subordinates.
The city defense troops clashed, and the two sides even fired guns. It is conceivable to what extent the contradictions intensified.
Prince Yang does not need to care about these things. He can just watch the excitement from a distance. His main focus now is on the Philippines. The first combined fleet of the Chinese Navy has assembled in Mawei. Together, Yang Fengcai noticed that the size of the navy has actually increased.
Not too small. Because this time it was of a deterrent nature, naturally all the battleships came out in full force, including Dingzhen Eryuan, which had just completed its refit.
The two battleships were equipped with four 3,000-horsepower steam turbines and new boilers. However, the weapons did not change much, except for the addition of four 152mm single-mounted guns produced by Bofors.
Two guns, plus two guns at the head and tail, can also have eight main guns available on the sides at the same time. As for the 305 guns, they have not changed, but they have been replaced with the latest explosive-piercing shells, plus a rangefinder.
The combat effectiveness of the two old ships has increased dramatically. They can even compete with the first-class battleships, and their speed has also been greatly increased to 19 knots. At this time, ordinary cruisers are only so fast.
With these two battleships as the core, the Far Beiyang Navy, except for Pingyuan, the other modified Zhijing Jinglai Jikai Zhu Qiyuan gathered together again. As for Pingyuan, Prince Yang felt that it was not worth refitting, so he simply retired it.
When I went to the Naval Museum, there were also the Marauder and the four ships of Matsushima, Naniwa, and Takachiho that had not been renamed. A total of 13 old warships were organized into the combined fleet, commanded by Ding Ruchang, and two ships, Hosho and Soryu.
The new cruiser was the core, plus twelve high-speed destroyers to form a fast fleet. Commanded by Liu Buchan, the entire combined fleet of twenty-seven warships first conducted a review at the mouth of the Minjiang River, and then escorted a total of sixteen landing ships south to the Philippines in a show of force.
.
Yang Feng's landing ships will maintain the size of these sixteen ships for the time being, and there will be no new construction plans in the future. In this way, his ability to seize the beach is limited to one reorganized division, while the ability to land at simple ports can guarantee two divisions. As for the main force
Warships are still being built continuously. The first two destroyers at Mawei Shipyard have been completed, but they were sold to the Spanish. The two destroyers at Dagou Port will also be completed soon. There are now slipways in both places.
There are also two destroyers and two 4,000-ton armored cruisers each under construction. In the newly built dock in Mawei, two 10,000-ton diesel battleships have also started construction. Eight 10,000-horsepower diesel engines provide surging power for them. Two
A total of ten 240mm rapid-fire cannons, three in a row, two in a twin-ship, provide it with powerful firepower. This is the template for the future battleship that Yang Feng described for the great powers.
Regarding Yang Feng's intervention in the Philippines, the Spanish government did not even take any action to obstruct it except a few words of verbal protest. Montojo's fleet was huddled in Cavite and shivering like frightened quails! Although
There are also people in their country clamoring to bring the main fleet over, but it is obvious that it is just a clamor. Now is not the time of the Invincible Fleet. Besides, even the Invincible Fleet has no confidence to challenge three powerful enemies. At this time, sending a fleet to the Philippines is a good idea.
To say it is to protect one's legitimate rights and interests, and to say it in a bad way is to say that one is impatient with life.
The huge fleet moved southward under the complicated gazes of the naval soldiers of Britain, France, the United States, Italy and other countries along the way. All the islands it passed along the way were decorated with marble tablets that had been prepared long ago. On it were engraved with Chinese characters the six characters of the territory of the Chinese Empire.
, and so on until they arrived at Huangyan Island. Yang Feng even ordered the construction of an outpost here. Although no troops were stationed to guard it, it was solemnly marked with the name of a certain department of the Chinese Navy. Anyone who dared to move would be an act of war.
After declaring sovereignty, they continued southward through the Mindoro Strait and landed at Iloilo, the southern port of Panay Island. It is still in the hands of the Spanish, but it is being attacked by an insurgent army led by Bonifaxiu.
During the siege, there was only one battalion of Spanish troops stationed here. The battalion commander led by it had no idea that the Chinese would come. When he saw a large number of warships suddenly appearing on the sea, he thought it was reinforcements from the main fleet from China, so he excitedly boarded a small boat in person
He came over and was dumbfounded when he saw Huang Longqi.
"Major Marcos, you want us to help?" Yang Feng looked at the Spanish commander who was brought to the Nautilus with confusion. He could see that this guy was really having a hard time. He still had injuries on his arms and two eyeballs.
My eyes are almost blood red, and I don’t know how long I haven’t slept.
"Your Highness, please, for the sake of God, please help us. Those damn monkeys are going crazy. They are massacring all the towns they captured. They will not let any of me go."
Compatriots, even those women and children will not be spared. The atrocities against women are especially heinous. This is our last stronghold. There are still more than 2,000 civilians who have not been evacuated. Originally, we were waiting for Manila to send a ship.
, but I haven’t seen it yet. This city is about to fall. If you don’t help, those innocent civilians will be killed by the monkeys." Major Marcos begged.
"That's right, but we are a neutral country and have no right to intervene in your conflict." Yang Feng said awkwardly.
"Your Highness, I think at this time, we don't need to worry about these things anymore. I can ask the Governor of the Province to ask you, as the highest governor of the Kingdom of Spain in Iloilo Province, to invite you to help expel the monkeys." Marcos
At this time, the major could not care about anything else. If he couldn't find anyone to help him, he would have to die here with his wife and children. When he thought of the torture suffered by those women who died in the hands of monkeys, he just wanted to let him know.
Even if Yang Feng is the King of Spain, he will not hesitate.
"No, no, no!" Prince Yang shook his finger, driving his hope into the abyss.
"I said, we are a neutral country and cannot intervene in your war, but I can provide you with humanitarian assistance, such as taking you away from Iloilo, and then arranging a ship to take you to a place you think is safe." Yang
The prince continued.
Marcos immediately understood what he meant and drove all the Spaniards out of Panay Island. This must be the territory of the Chinese. He immediately showed an embarrassed expression. If he just invited the Chinese to come ashore to help, then after fighting off the monkeys
, the Spanish government can still guarantee the ownership of this place, even if there is only one Spanish soldier here, then whatever the Chinese want to do, as long as he does not allow it, it is illegal, but if there is no Spanish, the nature is different.
"Major, if you don't want to, I won't make it difficult for you." Prince Yang looked at him and said with a smile.
Major Marcos thought to himself, I have the right to refuse. As long as you stay here for two days to watch the excitement, those monkeys will kill us all. You can do whatever you want. After thinking about this, he can
There was nothing to hesitate about. He gritted his teeth and said, "I will persuade the provincial governor to agree."
He hurried back to the shore and said it, and the provincial governor agreed after hesitating. Then he took a small boat to the Nautilus and signed a formal agreement with Yang Feng, inviting the Chinese as the governor of Iloilo, the Philippine colony of the Kingdom of Spain.
The first team landed to provide them with humanitarian aid and the rest was easy.
At this time, the monkeys were almost entering the city. Tens of thousands of monkeys were in a dark mass, waving swords, bamboo spears, and of course a small number of various types of guns spanning decades. The chaos was like a group of people who had seen blood.
The mad dogs were howling one by one, waiting to rush in and find those Spanish women to show their independence and freedom. At this moment, they suddenly saw countless lightning exploding on the distant sea, in the dark clouds where the sea and the sky met.
, and then like the raging waves of a tsunami, countless fireballs exploded among them in an instant. (To be continued...)
