Welcome to:.

A huge incident was suppressed silently. Except for a few people who knew the inside story, most people just thought it was a less successful rebellion by some old people and young people from the former Qing Dynasty who didn’t know the heights of the world.] Whether it was Beiyang

Internally, the top management of KMT knew it tacitly, and they joined forces to deceive the matter in both houses of Congress, and killed a few unlucky people in accordance with the law. After arresting and imprisoning a group of people, it didn't take long.

The matter gradually subsided

Among them, Yang Yongtai made great contributions. Without his efforts to deal with and persuade all parties, resolving the matter would not have been so easy. Especially Yuan Keding was able to switch sides at the critical moment. It was Yang Yongtai's ingenious arrangement.

As a result, the face of Yuan Shikai and his son was saved, and Song Jiaoren and others had the basis for implementing constitutional government. It can be said that everyone was happy.

As for Liang Shiyi, due to his special status, he was sentenced to three years on charges of corruption. After a few days in prison, Yuan Shikai pardoned him in the name of the president and exiled him abroad. In fact, for Yuan Shikai, this was not a good idea.

Liang Shiyi is also the best result. Liang Shiyi has followed Yuan Shikai for so many years and made great contributions from the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. And although this time it was selfish, after all, he made a stupid move to promote Yuan Shikai to the throne.

It is very simple to kill Liang Shiyi, but such a killing will chill the hearts of everyone in Beiyang. Now with this arrangement, Yuan Shikai's behavior can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous in the eyes of outsiders and outsiders.

Before banishing Liang Shiyi, Yuan Shikai also made arrangements for Yuan Keding. Yuan Shikai, the eldest son who had always had high hopes in the past, had completely given up this time. Such an unsatisfactory dog ​​did things with high ambitions and low abilities, and had no strategy. He almost lost his mind.

To be honest, Yuan Shikai didn't hate his son for doing such a thing, but hated him for not having the ability to do things that were simply impossible. If Yuan Keding was really like Li Er of the Tang Dynasty

In terms of ability, what if Yuan Shikai really becomes Li Yuan? It's good now, but he almost got into trouble before it was done. Looking at Yuan Keding's depressed look now, the anger in Yuan Shikai's heart can't be expressed at all.

Yuan Shikai is older and his health is indeed not good, but that does not mean that his mind is really confused. Some things can be hidden from him for a while, but they will never be hidden from him for the rest of his life. After being awakened by Fang Zida, Yuan Shikai gradually understood that this world is no longer what it used to be.

In the era of emperors and ministers, the wheel of history can no longer be turned back. After the founding of the Republic of China, the feudal monarchy was gone forever.

In the end, Yuan Keding was quietly sent to the United States by Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai completely gave up the idea of ​​becoming a leader. He was already old and could no longer withstand such a toss. He only hoped to spend his last days in peace and keep his old age.

The descendants of the Yuan family are just prosperous and wealthy.

While the political situation in China was quietly changing, the Japanese government in the east was struggling. It turned out that the outbreak of the European War gave Japan an excellent opportunity to seize the Allies' colonies in Asia through the European War and establish Japan's image as a real power in the world.

But who would have thought that before Japan could take action, China first took back Qingdao, and then took back control of Outer Mongolia through the business cooperation of Tsar Nicholas II. For a while, the Japanese did not get any benefits or land.

It was as if the boxer who was well prepared held back his breath but punched the air. Don't mention how depressed he was. Then, the Japanese government sent agents to try to disrupt China's political situation, but just after they took action, they suffered a major blow inexplicably.

For a long time, I didn’t even know who was behind the scenes. Fortunately, the business cooperation with China has achieved some practical results. Taking advantage of the European War, the Japanese business community also ushered in many business opportunities.

However, after all, Japan is different from China, which is a neutral country. Shortly after the war began, the Japanese government followed Britain and joined the Allied camp. In view of the provisions of the Allied Powers, Japan can only conduct business with the Allied Powers or neutral countries. Among the Allied Powers, the United States is far away in terms of historical tradition and industrial scale.

Far beyond Japan, the Japanese have tried their best to just follow the United States and grab some scraps. They cannot be like China and do business with other countries unscrupulously. For this reason, the Japanese business community is extremely concerned about the Japanese government's decision to join the Allied Powers as soon as possible.

Dissatisfied that joining the Allied Powers did not bring any political or military benefits, and it also blocked the way for Japanese businessmen to do business with the Allied Powers. As the war continued, this dissatisfaction became more and more serious. Several large financial groups

It even showed strong dissatisfaction with the existing government, causing a huge headache in the cabinet.

These things have troubled the Japanese government enough. Who would have thought that a large number of counterfeit banknotes suddenly appeared in circulation in the country some time ago. These counterfeit banknotes are exquisitely made and difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake. Anyone who is not a strictly trained professional would not be able to tell.

I don’t know exactly when these counterfeit banknotes began to appear and where they came from. By the time the Japanese government discovered the problem, the consequences were extremely serious. These huge amounts of counterfeit banknotes greatly damaged Japan’s economy and caused domestic inflation in Japan.

, countless small businesses became impoverished overnight, the Japanese yen's international exchange rate plummeted, and its purchasing power and credibility plummeted. What made the Japanese government extremely angry was that those friends from the Allied Powers actually took advantage of Japan's economic turmoil.

Opportunities arose one after another, and they joined forces to turn Japan upside down, causing public dissatisfaction to boil over.

Okuma Shigenobu is a veteran Japanese politician, known as an evergreen figure in Japanese politics. The current cabinet is the second time in his life that Okuma Shigenobu has served as Prime Minister to form a cabinet. But just before his second term as Prime Minister is about to expire, the Japanese economy

Such turmoil has occurred, making Okuma Shigenobu feel unprecedented pressure.

"Baga, these British and American devils are all bastards."

Looking at the documents sent by Taketomi Tokitoshi, the Minister of Finance, Okuma Shigenobu shook his body after just a few glances. He leaned on the table and cursed through gritted teeth.

Taketomi Tokitoshi's face was extremely ugly. This information was compiled by the Ministry of Finance. As Minister of Finance, he had already seen it earlier. Due to the counterfeit banknote incident, Japan has suffered a huge economic blow. According to statistics, direct and indirect losses are as high as 2.5%.

billion yen, and because of the actions of the financial institutions of the Allied Powers, Japan's economy is in a depression, and it still suffers losses of several million yen every day, and this loss is still getting worse. It can be said that if left unchecked, the Meiji Restoration

Years of hard work will be in vain

"Your Excellency, please come up with an idea as soon as possible." Taketomi Tokitoshi wiped the sweat from his head. As the Minister of Tibet, he is most aware of the weaknesses of Japan's economy. Although Japan is known as the strongest country in East Asia and is working hard to become one of the world's great powers, it can

Compared with Western countries, Japan's industrial base and economic base are far inferior. The fragile Japanese economy cannot withstand such a storm. Moreover, due to economic turmoil, social order has gradually become chaotic. The Japanese have always been able to defeat the superior.

Once this behavior cannot be stopped, the consequences will be disastrous

"How much more money can the Ministry of Finance use?" Okuma Shigenobu asked with a frown. As a veteran politician, he certainly knows that the key now is to stabilize the situation, and the best way to solve the problem of finance is financial means.

Tokitoshi Taketomi hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and spoke a number. Okuma Shigenobu couldn't believe his ears. Why did Japan's Ministry of Finance have so little money left?

"Where's the money? Where did all the money go?" Okuma Shigenobu asked with red eyes.

Taketomi hurriedly explained that the Ministry of Finance still had a lot of funds last month, but the economy declined sharply, and all the funds in the Ministry of Finance were used to stabilize the situation. In addition, friends from the Allied Powers were tossing around Japan. Although the Ministry of Finance

Efforts were made to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall, but still could not meet the needs of all places. Moreover, as Japan's economy became more and more turbulent, not only the Allies, but also some neutral countries and even the Allies swarmed in like cats smelling fishy smell.

Facing this situation, Taketomi Tokitoshi's Ministry of Finance cannot support it at all, and the national treasury is almost empty.

"Baga Baga"

Okuma Shigenobu was so angry that he swept everything off the table to the floor. The anger in his eyes could almost burn Taketomi Tokitoshi to ashes.

"Your Excellency, you are humble and incompetent..." Taketomi Tokitoshi's head almost hit his pants. Okuma Shigenobu stared at this once most powerful subordinate, his chest heaving and breathing heavily.

"It's over, it's completely over..." A thought flashed through Okuma Shigenobu's mind. Now Okuma Shigenobu regrets that he became the prime minister. If he had known this, why would he have to become the prime minister for the second time? But he has forgotten that he was the second prime minister in his life.

When I became prime minister for the first time and formed the cabinet, I was so high-spirited and proud.

He simply cannot explain the current situation to Emperor Taisho and the Japanese people. The situation has deteriorated to such an extent that it seems that there is only one way left for him, which is to have a disembowelment to thank the world. He glanced at the ribs hanging on the wall, Okuma

There was bitterness on the corner of Shigenobu's mouth. Is this the only way he can go in this life? I wonder if he will be able to bear the pain when the blade cuts into his belly.

"Your Excellency... Your Excellency..."

Taketomi Tokitomi saw something was wrong with Okuma Shigenobu's expression, and he was keenly aware that the other person's eyes had moved to the wall, and of course he could clearly see what was hanging on the wall. His face turned pale as soon as he brushed the floor.

Tokitoshi didn't want to die like a fool like those brainless samurai. Of course, if Okuma Shigenobu did this, he might not be able to escape this ending. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Tokitomi Taketomi boldly shouted a few times,

Bringing Okuma Shigenobu back to reality

"Your Excellency, there is actually nothing we can do about it," Taketomi Tokitomi rolled his eyes and said softly.

"Oh...that's it..." Okuma Shigenobu looked a little dazed, and subconsciously replied casually, but as soon as he said the words, he suddenly remembered something, and his eyes widened like a drowning man who had found a life-saving straw and asked urgently: "

Nani, what did you just say? Is there a way? Is there any way?" To be continued)
