Chapter 531 Going to the Capital
Tungsten steel alloy is an important raw material in today's military manufacturing, such as large-caliber artillery, large naval guns, ships, guns and ammunition, etc., all need it.
Countries such as Europe and the United States are relatively easy to deal with and can buy them at high prices. Anyway, the Qing Dynasty is short of their Boxer indemnity, and the wool comes from the sheep.
But the Japanese island country is in dire straits. They purchase directly from Fengzhong Ore International Trading Company, but they don't sell it. They can only buy it from British companies at high prices. Especially the British person named Ian, who is very active and resides in the country.
He said that he and Chen Tianhua were old acquaintances and were seeking huge profits from them.
This made the Japanese very angry.
Chen Tianhua spent so much effort and sent a new army of more than a thousand people to make trouble here. What exactly did he want to do?
As a result, intelligence agents from various countries were dispatched one after another to infiltrate southern Jiangxi in various ways, and the Japanese island countries were the most urgent.
We have to figure out Chen Tianhua’s true face!
If he is trying to control the entire international tungsten ore market in the name of mining, then the problem will be huge!
Gannan Fengzhong Mining Corporation, Fengzhong Ore International Trading Company, etc. are really popular this time, and they are so red that they turn purple and purple turn black!
Hong Asi had been active in southern and western Jiangxi for decades. The Qing dynasty recruited him at that time and promised him a high official and generous salary, but it did not make him surrender, let alone eliminate him.
It happened to be a mining security team, and it didn't take much effort to force him to surrender. There must be something fishy about this!
After Ji Chunshuo used a dozen carriages to send Hong Asi and Jiaqi away, a training group of more than a hundred people arrived at Manxingdiao and began to retrain and assess the more than 10,000 people gathered here.
Whether you want to join the security team or work in the mines, training is concentrated here.
Manxingduo, the next step is for Fengzhong Mining to set up a training base in southern and western Jiangxi and build a relatively new military base on the same site.
"The principles for joining our mining security team are, first of all, if you are an only child at home, you don't want to. Your parents are still waiting to support you. Filial piety comes first. We don't do such unfilial things."
"Secondly, don't do it to those over forty years old, and don't do it if your body is not up to standard. This is also for your own good. Physical fitness and strength, speed and reaction are the most basic conditions for a soldier. If we relax the conditions today, in future battles
Not only will you lose your life, but you will also drag down your comrades."
"Besides, don't forget about those with a bad reputation. The security forces have strict discipline. Those who bully women, kill innocent people, and behave tyrannically will be shot. Anyone with a criminal record can take the initiative to confess to you, and we can give it to you.
If you have the chance to repent and make a new start, you can still go down to the mines and make a living on your own, but if you wait until we find out, you will be unlucky!"
Ji Chunsheng gave a special speech before the intensive training.
The chief instructor of the Huaikan Base Camp Special Training Camp is Rhinoceros. He is a member of the old team trained by Chen Tianhua and others and has rich teaching experience.
He personally leads the team and serves as the general manager and chief training instructor of Manxingdie Base.
With the rapid expansion of strength, most of the veteran team members now bear the important responsibilities of commanders and yamen general offices.
Any one of them has the identity of the military commander of the company-battalion combat team, which to a large extent also increases combat effectiveness and cohesion.
The salary as an official will naturally be much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.
After a month of picking and choosing, more than 10,000 people reluctantly gathered less than 2,000 people to form a security bidding group, named Gannan Fengzhong Mining Security Bidding Group No. 1, and divided into three battalion-level combat teams.
All platoon, company, and battalion-level officers are composed of soldiers and junior officers of the New Army of Zhejiang Province. Song Xiaoniu serves as the commander of the first security regiment.
He himself still serves as the leader of the Second Assault Battalion of the New Army. The Second Assault Battalion remains in southern Jiangxi. The Third Assault Battalion of the New Army has received orders from Major General Chen Tianhua and will be stationed in western Gansu after its rest.
According to Chen Tianhua's order, Ji Chunsheng also serves as the chief executive officer of the garrison in southern and western Jiangxi.
The remaining nearly 10,000 people were all converted into employees of Fengzhong Mining Company, half of whom were dispersed to work in the Danping, Tantang, Xialong and other mining areas of Xihua Mountain, and the other half were distributed to the Dajishan and Pangushan mining areas.
There are too many mining areas and mining sites in southern Jiangxi and the area is very large. The total population here is about two million, which requires a lot of manpower.
Hong Asi was sent to the base of Xihuashan Mining Company, a centralized villa community.
All senior officials from the mining base live here, and the environment is beautiful and elegantly decorated. He is very satisfied with this.
Ji Chunsheng allocated a European-style villa to Hong Asi, which can be said to be a rare favor.
This man has been a gangster for forty years, and his crimes are simply immeasurable. He may be able to repent, change his ways, disarm and return home, and he deserves forgiveness once.
After moving to his new home, Ji Chunsheng led the main leaders of Fengzhong Mining Corporation and the main commanders of the security forces to Hong Asi's villa for a drink and a long talk with him.
Ji Chunsheng forwarded a handwritten letter from Chen Tianhua to Hong Asi, making him happy and encouraged.
The next day, Ji Chunsheng announced the appointment of Hong Asi as a counselor of Fengzhong Mining Corporation, mainly involved in recruiting and surrendering other gangs and dealing with other local forces.
Hong Ah Si was still very grateful for the trust of the eldest young master and Ji Chunsheng.
To be honest, letting him stay at home before he is sixty years old is equivalent to a life sentence for a man who has been in the world for forty years.
…
The words are divided into two parts.
After Yin Zhiping's Green Camp was severely beaten by Fengzhong Security Team, killing and injuring more than a thousand people, he ran back to Nanchang and immediately reported the incident to Governor Nie Jiugui.
In the governor's office, Nie Jiugui summoned Xiao Xuan and other staff, and spent two days thinking like a trapped animal. He drafted several memorials, listed the charges, and decided to go to Beijing to file a complaint.
After thinking about it, Nie Jiugui decided to personally take Admiral Yin Zhiping, Chief of Staff Xiao Xuan and others to Beijing.
From Jiangxi to the capital, if you travel by land, it takes about a month by horse-drawn carriage, and more than half a month by horseback. It usually takes water.
It enters Poyang Lake from Zhangjiang, then turns to the Yangtze River, and then turns to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal from the Yangtze River to reach the capital, which takes about ten days by official ship.
But their movements were certainly not as fast as those of the New Army.
On the day of the bombardment, Ji Chunsheng sent a secret letter from the post officer to inform the Nanchang Station of the Military Investigation Department.
The General Telegraph Bureau of the Qing Dynasty was a commercial operation run by officials and supervised by officials. Sheng Xuanhuai was mainly the governor-general, and he was also the main shareholder.
The Nanchang Telegraph Bureau of the Military Investigation Department Nanchang Station has a special intelligence express channel. That night, a telegram arrived at Chen Tianhua's official residence.
The matter was so important that Chen Tianhua immediately led Xu Yunyuan, Gu Zhunian and others to rush to the capital.
