Chapter 63 Chapter 17 There is no shortage of police in China

Empress Dowager Cixi Luan drove back to Beijing. Halfway through the walk, the old lady suddenly rolled around and started making a fuss. Who messed with her again?Foreigner, or foreigner! It turned out that the Empress Dowager Cixi had finished her "investigation" in the northwest region and was going back to Beijing. She was too embarrassed when she came. In the humiliating treaty that China and the big powers just signed, Tianjin will never allow China to garrison troops. That is to say, if the Empress Dowager Cixi passes through Tianjin, she must sneak past like a thief... How can the Empress Dowager Cixi tolerate?On the spot she got into a fuss.

Seeing that the old lady was making a scene, Rong Lu hurriedly called Yuan Shikai: Akai, I entrust you with a glorious and sacred mission to deal with the foreigners in Tianjin for the old lady. As for how to settle it, Ronglu doesn't care about it. So Yuan Shikai left Shandong and set out to take over Tianjin from foreigners. When we arrived at the place, the foreigners brought out the accounts: This is the financial and tax account when we took over Tianjin. How much money has been collected these days, how much money has been spent on maintaining local law and order, and there is still 5,500 taels of silver left. Please check it.

Yuan Shikai took the money bill with a smile, put it in his arms, and then waved back. Five hundred Qing soldiers in strange clothes rushed up, and the foreigners were furious: Yuan Shikai, how dare you violate the international agreement? Yuan Shikai was at a loss: Where is it? Foreigner: Why not?It is clearly stipulated in the treaty that you Chinese are not allowed to station troops in Tianjin. Yuan Shikai: Yes, I did not bring troops here either. The foreigner was in a hurry: why not, what happened to the hundreds of soldiers behind you? Yuan Shikai shook his head: Talk nonsense, don’t think that you can talk nonsense because you are a foreigner, I can sue you for defamation if you talk nonsense like this—these people behind me are not soldiers, they are policemen.

The foreigner suddenly fainted: ... what, where did you get the police from China? Yuan Shikai: Nonsense, we lack everything in China, and there is no shortage of police, just wait and see. This is the origin of China's first police force. Yuan Shikai, who pioneered China's police patrol system, stunned all the foreign devils. So all the ministers entered the palace one after another and said: Don't you have people who understand in China?Leaving Yuan Shikai alone, I said, are your brains flooded? The Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head and sighed: This Yuan Shikai is no match for Li Hongzhang. Although the two are equally capable, Li Hongzhang has read too many books and is more stupid. That's why he keeps his head down and does his best for the Qing Dynasty. But this Yuan Shikai... ...He doesn't study... The ashes are not cold in Shandong, and Liu Xiang doesn't study... Since ancient times, how can anyone who doesn't study be reliable?

Rong Lu: Then... what should we do? Empress Dowager Cixi: What else can I do?Let's add officials and promote them, and control their use. Who let the 450 million wastes of the Qing Dynasty snack, just such a sensible person? Under the imperial decree: Yuan Shikai was promoted to Minister of Beiyang and Governor of Zhili. This official ranks third among the 450 million people in China. The Empress Dowager Cixi is the eldest, Emperor Guangxu is the second, and the third is Yuan Shikai. As an official, his promotion was really too fast, too fast for the people to accept.
