Play it as an imperial edict, discuss in detail the urgent task of coastal defense, respectfully, confide in one's heart, and pray for the holy precept: In the thirteenth year of Tongzhi (1874165438+1October 7), on September 29th, the minister of military affairs received a secret telegram: "Serve the imperial edict:' Prime Minister, all countries. The defense along the Yangtze River, with the prime minister's state affairs and the existence of the king, the general and the governor are ready to go out at any time, but there is nothing to rely on for defense. The urgent task is to highlight the strength, and Qi Xin should work together, be down-to-earth and persevere, so as to solve the current urgent problems and enrich the country's long-term plan. Wang's training, streamlining equipment, shipbuilding, salary increase, personnel selection and durability are all very important and timely. After detailed discussions by Li Hongzhang and others, the law will be implemented item by item and will be implemented repeatedly within one month. In addition, there are other reasons, that is, to fight together, instead of filling the blame with empty words. Respect this. "Xuan also approved the throne of the Prime Minister's yamen and continued to draft the first paragraph of Article 6 of the Naval Charter. Please remit it to the yamen as a prelude, make proper preparations and repeat it together. Zhu Feng approved: "According to the discussion. Respect this. "I admire the court for thinking about prevention and self-improvement, and I admire it without rhyme or reason. I checked, the treaties of various countries have been made and it is difficult to change them. All the rivers and seas have opened their doors and become a common place for me and the enemy. Nothing is cohabitation and infidelity, and suspicion is inevitable; If there are policemen, I will cheat, which is even more difficult to deal with. In this case, there seems to be no defense. But the things involved are more and more complicated, and the clan can get into trouble now by coercion. Since westernization, repeated judgments and repeated cases are nothing more than a compromise. Up to this year, when the Japanese army mobilized in Taiwan Province Province, Wang, the Prime Minister's yamen and the special envoy made a series of statements, but he was not sure about it. He still relied on the sages to take the lead, repeatedly urging ministers in Xinjiang to make strict preparations, mobilizing troops to assemble ships, buying sharp weapons and building forts. Although he is not sure, he is a little stronger in vain. Tusi was afraid of public opinion and military power at home, so he gradually followed suit, which did not hinder the national movement and people's feelings, and it was not necessarily the power of those in power who could save him. At the beginning of the Taiwan Province incident, I sealed the Prime Minister's yamen, saying that the Ming Dynasty was a draw, the Yin Dynasty was a war preparation, and peace could last for a long time. Foreigners talk irrationally about the potential, and pressure each other with the potential of soldiers. My first wish is to win with pen and tongue, which is not allowed. When the husband is in danger, he is caught off guard; If we get ready first, Japanese soldiers won't dare to come. Wu De said that defense can be delayed for one day! The Prime Minister's yamen has put forward six requirements, which are the urgent task at present and the long-term plan in the future. The industry has been fully covered and needs to save time. What is not easy to be washed away, talent is rare, capital is difficult to raise, and territory is difficult to change. Therefore, it is difficult to get rid of ambition and change it. Although the Japanese affairs are fortified, cakes are still being painted. However, today's urgent task is to try to break the stereotype of reality. Why is there still a long way to go? Most of the frontiers in the past dynasties were in the northwest, and their strength and the shape of the guest and the host were suitable, and there were still differences between China and foreign countries. Today, the southeast waters of China are more than 10,000 miles long. Countries are free to trade and preach, gathering in the hinterland of the capital and provinces. In the name of reconciliation, one country makes trouble and other countries fan the flames, which has never changed for thousands of years. Ships and telegrams are fast! The essence of military equipment and machinery is a hundred times stronger; Cannonballs are invincible, land and water are connected, and there is no restriction. They have never been strong enemies for thousands of years. The ride of foreign invasion has changed so much, but I still want it to become a legal system. For example, when doctors treat a disease, they will throw it into the ancient prescription, but they have never seen its effect. After Gengshen (the tenth year of Xianfeng, 1860), barbarians were introverted, and Bohai was labeled as ethics, so they were angry and generous, and they fought and expelled. Outside the bureau, I don't know the difficulty in the bureau; Ask for self-improvement again? How do you defend yourself? Then there is no basis. Since ancient times, there have been no successful people who don't know each other. If his strengths and weaknesses have not been discovered and understood, but he wants to be desperate, isn't that a joke for the motherland? Although I am stupid, I have been in the army for more than ten years and dare not back down, but I am willing to worry about my father. However, westernization has been involved for a long time in history, which is widely heard and deeper than its own length. Huan is willing (1) to have talented people who are paid for their work all over the world, not being caught, but being detained in the law, and being led by the audience. Although they want to be excited, they have no motivation. Yi said, "If you are poor, you can change, and if you change, you can pass. "Don't change the cover, by playing by keeping, peace can't last long. I would like to draw up detailed and feasible measures for the original proposal of the Prime Minister's yamen, with my humble opinion. Slightly extended. Ding Richang's works can be collected and submitted to the nuclear program as a humble contribution. Please discuss it in detail in court, and ask the king to decide. In short, there is no other way to rectify coastal defense, give up political reform, and choose talents and appoint people. I pray that my emperor cares about the importance of the country and people, and the times are extremely difficult. He is always dissatisfied, saves redundant expenses, demands military reality, trains talents, and does not have to stick to the rules; In particular, talent is the most important thing, so that people with lofty ideals in the world do not understand westernization, and training, manufacturing and shipbuilding can be gradually improved. If you are sincere, you can do it, especially if it takes you several years to be late. At present, it is necessary to protect and draw, and it is not appropriate to launch self-defense. The other tribe may add up to ten thousand rudeness, but it must not be ignored. All the reasons for following the instructions are discussed in detail, and the details are introduced in detail. The article and the list of preparation tools will also be discussed for your reading. Fu Qi, the emperor's sacred command. Really play.
