The last reason is that the higher salary of public officials allows officials to live a decent life without corruption. Officials are always high-income and middle-class people who can’t get through the dilemma without corruption. Therefore, although corruption has been exposed and eventually cracked down, it has not spread and has not formed institutional corruption.
The current tax system has made considerable achievements, from Hurd’s establishment of the sea to the promotion of the national tax system. Even in the world, it is still at a high level. It can be said that the tax system is no different from the western tax system, and its tax collection ability has never lost to the European and American levels.
The law has completed the construction of common law procedures, diplomacy has mastered the western diplomatic procedures, and military weapons and equipment have been built with the mainstream international powers in the military system.
All this not only makes Zhu Jinglun believe that Da Jing is on the right path, but also makes Da Jing take the lead in the whole Asian region. Even if he is carrying out radical reform and reform, he is far from the great power because of his own resources.
Can threaten a lot of foreigners’ forces approaching day by day.
Zhu Jinglun’s choice is more passive than foreigners’ taking advantage. It is better to take the initiative to cooperate with foreigners to take advantage of it. When you lose it, you can always get it back, but you will never get it back.
Zhu Jinglun is confident that he can take advantage of the geographical position in the competition with foreigners, but the Manchu Dynasty can’t. It happened that the transfer of benefits in the Qing Dynasty has long been a big interest in Zhu Jinglun’s eyes, and he is extremely reluctant to see the Manchu Dynasty transfer benefits to foreigners step by step.
There is no name and no power to stop foreigners from constantly taking the opportunity to grab benefits in Manchu.
Zhu Jinglun’s previous method is to block the channels for foreigners to obtain benefits before they get some benefits. He wants Qingdao, Dalian and other ports in the big hand because he is worried that these places with economic and strategic value will be blocked by foreigners in the future and foreigners may expand in these areas.
However, this passive defense method can’t block all directions and always leave a lot of opportunities for foreigners.
Just after the Japanese invasion of Taiwan, the British got a good opportunity to expand their interests in China. Ma Jiali, a translator of the British legation, was killed by local people in Yunnan when he went to Yunnan to meet a British expedition from Myanmar to Yunnan, China. The famous Ma Jiali incident broke out in history.
If the British don’t understand that this opportunity is to bite a piece of fat from Manchu, they will be really ashamed of their piracy.
However, this incident will also be greatly involved. The British Consulate made a proposal to the Ocean Department that the two countries should jointly build a railway through Myanmar to link India. The British call this railway the "British Bridge".
Section five hundred and fourteen Great Britain Bridge
Zhu Jinglun was surprised by the British minister’s discussion, and he was also surprised by this. He was from a diplomatic background. The ending of the Majiali case was very clear to Zhu Jinglun. The Qing government apologized, compensated and punished the murderer, and agreed that the British government would allow the British to travel to Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, Yunnan and other provinces to visit the trading ports of Biyi, Wuhu and Beihai. And expand consular jurisdiction.
其中最有实际意义其实就是让英国得到了深入中国陆机会而危害最深是让英国势力渗透进了中国控制薄弱又跟印度接壤藏区这导致了2世纪后半期中国和印度破裂
但记得并不包括修建一条铁路
不过倒是不列颠桥（ge）这个名字醒了朱敬伦朱敬伦记得19世纪后半页西方列强在非洲有庞大横跨大陆扩张计划比如英国英国制订了从普敦到罗所谓“二C计划”计划建立纵贯非洲南北大陆殖民帝国法国制订了从塞加尔到索马里“二S计划”计划横断非洲东西大陆德国制订了从东非洲到西南非洲斜穿非洲大陆计划
其实列强在中国也有类似计划比如德国人修建胶济铁路就是向打通一条从北方深入中国陆通道；俄国人修建了东清铁路意在谋夺东北；法国修建滇缅铁路要从印度支那殖民地北向云南和四川扩张
德法俄三国都有修建铁路渗透中国计划世界霸主英国人不可能没有类似计划
历史英国计划是打通香港和印度跨越缅甸和中国华南地区打造一座跨洋通道名字就叫做不列颠桥（ge）！
列强瓜分非洲影响很大英国人“二C计划”通过教科成普通人历史常识但是对于英国在中国制定不列颠桥计划所知人就不太多了主要还是因这个计划最后没有成功甚都没有真正施行最大原因不是修不起这个时代还没有大英帝国干不起事业主要原因还是因法国和英国利益冲突
英国计划通过缅甸和中国华南地区将印度殖民地和他们在中国据点香港连接起来其中缅甸后来成英国殖民地通过缅甸领土没什么问题如果真想要也有是办法从清政府手里夺取一条铁路英国最后所放弃这个计划主要还是在云南跟法国利益产生了冲突
当时法国认四川有矿产很富裕一心要从印度支那殖民地北向云南和四川扩张可这样一来英国和法国战略利益就在云南产生了交叉双方都要控制云南这块地方
英国当时殖民了缅甸跟云南地理位置相接有瑞丽江水路相同法国则侵占了越南有红河水道跟云南相通可说云南成了两国争夺焦点
最后经过各种暗中竞争、较量和暗中交易英国人放弃了争夺云南中国西南地区基成了法国势力范围而英国则力巩固在长江流域势力范围于英法私做出了什么样利益交易尽管没有确证据但基也能判断出应该是法国支持英国控制中国长江流域英国允许法国渗透中国西南地区
There is no doubt that Manchu could never keep Yunnan’s interests. Things can still be blocked in Qingdao and Dalian, but how can they be blocked in Yunnan? Those places in Qingdao and Dalian are connected with the sea, and the best ports are selected. Those local powers can also develop around these places, but Yunnan is different. Yunnan is not only bordered by Britain, but also connected with French colonial Vietnam. In this case, unless a Great Wall can be built in Yunnan, there is a way to stop two western robbers who are red-eyed in front of interests.
A robber in the Qing Dynasty couldn’t stop it, and it was even worse at both ends. But it was these two hungry wolves that burned down the high-level officials in the Qing Dynasty. They were impressed by this, and they absolutely didn’t have the courage to stop the two robbers from doing it at the same time.
Zhu Jinglun hesitated to protect Yunnan’s interests. He learned in detail about the incident, which was similar to the historical data in his memory. He still explored a route from Myanmar to the southwest border of China through the southwest passage of China. A delegation of 200 officers led by Colonel Braun set off from East India and crossed the entire jungle of Myanmar.
Ma Jiali, the translator of Beixun Consulate, started from Beijing and crossed the whole land of China to meet Yunnan, which is very doubtful. Theoretically speaking, Britain should start from Guangxi and be closer to Yunnan, but they just sent Ma Jiali from the sea via Hankou, Hunan, Guizhou and Yunnan, and arrived in Myanmar’s New Street Bailang on the tenth day of December and then entered Yunnan.
Along the way, Ma Jiali and casual people carefully collected the geographical situation along the way. If they put it in a big place, they might be arrested as spies.
However, it is obviously impossible for Ma Jiali not to be worried about being caught. I am afraid that the reason lies in Ma Jiali’s route. He arrived in Yunnan from the sea through Hankou, Hunan and Guizhou. Who can say that the British did not arrive in Hankou and Haimu from Yunnan through Guizhou and Hunan?
In contact with a larger scale, the British can really want to build a railway to Hong Kong, so they have all the more reason to build a railway to the sea, because Britain’s interests in the sea are ten times that in Hong Kong.
After analyzing the various attempts of the British, Zhu Jinglun couldn’t help but be surprised by the history of a cold sweat. If the British really did this, I’m afraid China would be almost as bad as India. It’s a coincidence that the British didn’t make up their minds to carry out such a huge plan. Fortunately, the Japanese once thought that Britain would expand its colonial rule wherever the Indian railway was built, and they were very active in building the railway themselves instead of letting Britain do it.
Now the problem comes. Zhu Jinglun feels that he has found out the history of the British people. Britain has little interest in building a super railway from India to China because of the expansion of its interests in China. However, due to the great rise of foreigners in this era, it is difficult to guarantee that history will not change. Zhu Jinglun has to guard against it.
The Japanese-built railway was also defensive in nature. Later, the Manchu government also discovered this situation and tried its best to recover a number of railways, such as the Jinghan Railway, the Yuehan Railway, etc. Now Zhu Jinglun found that it seems that to stop the British from building a railway before the British, and the most important place for this railway is China’s remote geographical area-Yunnan!
Take the lead in building a railway in Yunnan so that in the future, whether France wants to lead to Sichuan or Britain wants to lead to Hong Kong or Haidu will rely on this ready-made railway to build a railway on their own. The first possibility is that it will be too high. Second, Zhu Jinglun does not intend to give them this opportunity. He intends to demand the exclusive right to build a railway in Yunnan from Manchu!
It’s possible that the French are ignorant, because they have to get the German army out of France first, so as not to compete with them for Vietnam in the East. For the time being, the British may interfere, but doesn’t Britain want to build a railway to Hong Kong? Then they must pay the price.
"Tell the British that they intend to build a railway network connecting the great border. We agreed and told them that it is necessary to extend the railway to Yunnan in order to connect the railway between Britain and India. We will propose to the Qing government to build a railway in Yunnan and hope to get British support!"
This is an exchange of interests. If Britain wants to connect Hong Kong with India through its vast territory, they must accept the so-called support of building a railway in Yunnan. That is to say, if they don’t oppose it, they will try their best to get the railway power from Manchu.
Is Britain’s interest as big as connecting India with Hong Kong?
Zhu Jinglun understands the historical trend in the last hundred years, so that he can see the further future. He deeply knows how much China has done with countries such as Thailand and Singapore in Indo-China Peninsula to build a railway to the Indian Ocean in the 21st century. Now Britain has sent a door to build this railway, and in the long run, it is also building a passage to the Indian Ocean for China.
Therefore, if this railway is completed, it will not only be the British Bridge from India to Hong Kong, but also the Greater China Bridge from China to the Indian Ocean!
Connecting India and Hong Kong is of great interest to Britain in China, so Britain responded positively. They expressed interest in it. They are willing to support the construction of railways in Yunnan, but they made a request that the British Empire should be given excellent consideration if financial and technical support is needed in the process of railway construction in Yunnan.
The Englishman replied that Zhu Jinglun was eager. At this time, he did not have enough capital and technical ability to build the Yunnan Railway.
Section five hundred and fifteen Financial market imagination
In the new China period, the construction of the national system in chengdu-kunming railway was started in 195, and it was not put into operation until 197o. 1. The construction of the railway line from Nanning, Guangxi to Kunming, Yunnan was only started in 199o, and it took seven years for the technical and financial strength to connect the line in 199o.
It can be said that in this era, if there is no world-class capital and technical support, it is unthinkable to build a road from Guangdong through several karst landforms and various complex terrain into Yunnan.
Now, the British have offered funds and technical support. Even if they regard this as a good deal, it is still a pillow for Zhu Jinglun. But since the British believe that they can get more benefits from building this railway, Zhu Jinglun thinks that the British may have a higher price.
So he asked Wu Chongyao to agree to the British request, but on one condition, it can be financed through the British banking giants, but it can’t guarantee the repayment of the future operating income of the railway body, and it can’t let the big government finance guarantee this. It can hire British technical experts, but these experts must manage the construction of the railway in a big way rather than control the railway construction.
Later generations of China promoted high-speed rail abroad to the point where the other party was not allowed to guarantee. Other developed countries in China did not dare to play like this.
But the British agreed.
A few days later, someone suddenly found a middle-aged man in a suit and tie in Guangdong.
This man’s name is Yi Ting, which is not conspicuous in this era, but his background will be great in later generations. He is the cousin of Hong, the first overseas student in China, and he has passed on this son and grandson named Yong Dao, from which the word "Yong Dao" comes.
At the beginning, Hong was able to study in the United States. Relatively speaking, he had to put a lot or not so many xenophobic ideas. He was sent to Macao foreigner school as a scholar from an early age. Other Sun Yeji were like this. His brother had a large number of talents who knew foreign languages. This was a huge advantage in Guangdong and Hong Kong in the early days of the port, which made many comprador appear among his brothers.
Yiting is such a comprador. He is the second comprador of Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong and the first comprador of Standard Chartered Bank in Hong Kong is his father Liang. It can be said that he entered the history of this industry with his father’s contacts. His family has been comprador in Standard Chartered for four generations in a row.
Standard Chartered Bank is one of the few British banks that are not controlled by Zhu Jinglun at present. In 166, the financial crisis in the sea allowed Zhu Jinglun to go deep into the hands of a large number of British banks, but he failed to succeed. One is Liru Bank, the other is this Standard Chartered Bank. The common feature of these three banks is that they are all Hong Kong banknote banks. In fact, it was because of the last rescue of the British Hong Kong government that these two banks did not accept big capital holdings. Obviously, the British did not want to let big capital penetrate into Hong Kong’s financial sector.
In the history of China, the largest bank is HSBC, and the second bank is often Standard Chartered, but when it comes to the background, Standard Chartered is much deeper than HSBC. The word Standard Chartered means chartered by Queen Victoria, which is a multinational bank chartered by the Queen of England to establish the Oriental Trade Headquarters in London.
From a standard chartered bank to a cross-bank bank, the initial capital of more than 70 million pounds was not paid as much as a common joint-stock bank, but half of the capital was paid. Obviously, the strength is extremely strong. If there is no strong behind force, it is impossible.
