Only those who have experienced it personally can understand the shame. The Benxi coal mine illegally exploited by the Japanese was originally taken back by the Qing Dynasty, which was normal. However, the Japanese were unreasonable and unreasonable. They could only get back half of the shares, and China also ate half of the shares.
A big loss.
Kuang Rongguang personally went to evaluate the value of the coal mine. He priced it at 450,000 taels of silver. As a result, the Japanese did not recognize it at all. In the end, the coal mine resources were only valued at 350,000 taels of silver. Looking back on the past and talking about the tyranny of the Japanese, Kuang Rongguang
Also very sad.
"Honestly, I have been inspecting Benxi during this period. When the Japanese first established the factory, they only obtained the mining rights of Benxi Lake Coal Mine and Miaoerjie Coal Mine. With the outbreak of the European War, steel prices skyrocketed, and the Japanese ambitions
It is also expanding. They have already targeted Lishugou, Wolong Village, Waitou Mountain, Daijin Valley, Malugou, Qingshanbei, Luotuobeizi, Wangzigang, Bapanling, Taizi Riverside and Tongyuan Fort in Benxi.
12 iron mines, and we have bribed the Beiyang government to get 12 iron mines. Now in Benxi, only Master Tian Coal Mine has not fallen into the hands of the Japanese. We must make an idea.
"
Generally speaking, it is the Benxi mining area, but it is also divided into many specific parts. The Japanese are constantly encroaching on it and want to get the entire mining area. At the last moment when the Japanese are annexing coal and iron resources, Fengtian takes back control.
Quan, the action against the Japanese was nothing more than a blow to the head.
Zhang Tinglan immediately understood the importance of the matter. Since the Japanese have not yet completed their layout, Fengtian must not miss this opportunity. For a country, no matter how high the position of steel is, no matter how high it is, almost everyone in later generations will know that domestic production
The total value can measure the degree of development of a country. I am afraid that few people know about another more convincing gold standard, which is the per capita possession of steel.
As long as the per capita possession of steel reaches eight tons, it is a truly developed country. In addition to houses, roads, home appliances, cars, pots and pans, the place where the most steel is accumulated is the factory. Each of the huge production lines is a giant steel dragon.
It is the representative of a country's production capacity and a symbol of national strength.
To put it bluntly, steel is the backbone of a country. The more steel, the stronger the country. On the contrary, the country will be deficient in calcium and become osteoporotic. And the situation in China is even worse now. The modern steel industry is almost zero.
Just like the Hanyang Iron Works, which is known as Asia's leading factory, but control also fell into the hands of the Japanese.
Without the steel industry, China has become a piece of fat meat without bones, free to be eaten by people. Even the third- and fourth-rate countries in Europe can bully the mighty China. This has become the deepest scar in the hearts of all Chinese people. Now Zhang Tinglan heard that Benxi
The coal mines and iron mines have not yet completely fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and I am still a little happy that it is not too late after all.
Zhang Tinglan keenly felt that this was a good opportunity to restrict the Japanese, so he hurried to the commander's residence with Kuang Rongguang.
At this time, the Marshal's Mansion was also full of guests. In addition to Zhang Zuolin, Wang Yongjiang and others were also present. The Beiyang government had just promulgated new official positions and formally established the system of military governors and provincial governors. Lao Zhang was naturally the military governor of Fengtian. He was in charge of military affairs.
, and Wang Yongjiang became the governor and the head of the civil service.
Governor Wang, who had just taken office, was reporting government affairs to Lao Zhang. After Zhang Tinglan arrived, they naturally turned the topic to Zhang Tinglan. Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "Sorry, you gave the Japanese another five million yuan.
We also got our equity back, which is really gratifying.”
"Governor Tiegong, I just feel ashamed. If we are strong enough and the Japanese dare to play assassination, we can declare war on them and drive out all the bullshit Mantai. Now we even ask the Japanese government to apologize to us.
We can't do it, we can only get some financial compensation, and we have to make some concessions to the Japanese, which is quite helpless."
The high-profile assassination incident was finally blamed on Kawashima Naniwa. It was only said that it was a personal grudge between Kawashima and Zhang Zuolin. Kawashima Naniwa also committed suicide by caesarean section in his apartment, and Lao Zhang also took Date Junnosuke and others.
The confessions were handed over to the Japanese side, and the case was considered closed.
But it was just an explanation to public opinion. A deep thorn was buried in the hearts of both sides. There will definitely be no shortage of conflicts between Fengjun and the Japanese. It just depends on how the two sides practice Tai Chi.
"Sorry, don't be aggrieved. At least we have obtained real evidence, and the Japanese have lost their wives and soldiers. Now we have a steel factory and an arsenal. After ten years of development, we will have a small and medium-sized army."
The devil has the capital to settle accounts. As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Damn it, I will never let the Japanese go!"
When Zhang Zuolin said this, he slammed the table and shook the teapot and tea bowls. It was obvious that the anger in Lao Zhang's heart had not weakened at all, but had only been temporarily suppressed.
"Commander, Mr. Kuang told me about the situation in Benxi. I found that we still have a chance to continue to kill Okura Kihachiro. There is nothing we can do to the Japanese government, so we started with this old guy. Okura bribed him some time ago.
We defeated the Beiyang government and obtained the mining rights for twelve iron ore mines in the Benxi area. Now that we are the company's major shareholders, we can use the name of a thorough investigation of the company's accounts to uncover the shady behind these transactions, and then punish Okura.
.In addition, the Master Tian Coal Mine has not yet fallen into the hands of the Japanese. We must resolutely protect this coal mine. In this way, we will no longer mix up the iron ore mines. We also have coal and iron in our hands. As long as we get the machinery and equipment,
We are also building a steel plant in Benxi."
From the perspective of resource utilization, Zhang Tinglan should never build a second steel plant in Benxi. However, in order to compete for resources with the Japanese, it is necessary to build another steel plant. After all, no matter how good the joint venture is, it cannot be as good as
Sole proprietorship, what Fengtian needs is a steel factory where the royal power is in its own hands.
After Zhang Tinglan expressed his thoughts, Wang Yongjiang said at the side: "Commander, I also know a little about the issue that I said. Yu Chonghan came to me a few days ago and asked me to agree to hand over Master Tian's coal mine to the Japanese.
Well, but now things have changed and the situation is different!"
Yu Chonghan, the consultant, was a chess piece planted by the Japanese. Everyone in Fengtian knew it well, but they just had to use it. Lao Zhang thought about it and said: "My humble suggestion is very timely. Steel is related to making guns and cannons."
These big things really need to be in your own hands. Minyuan, just do as I said, we will send an investigation team over to dig out all the Japanese tricks."
"Commander, to handle this kind of thing, you must have the right people. They must be able to withstand pressure, be decisive, and have a clear mind." As he spoke, Wang Yongjiang cast his eyes on Zhang Tinglan. It was obvious that
Wang Yongjiang planned to ask Zhang Tinglan to run errands again.
Zhang Tinglan also knew that he had made suggestions and it was his duty to do so. Therefore, he had no objection. It happened that at this time, one of his subordinates came in in a panic with a telegram and delivered it to Zhang Zuolin.
After Lao Zhang took a look, his brows suddenly wrinkled, and he sighed and said, "Everyone, Yuan Shikai is dead!"
As soon as this sentence fell, everyone present fell silent. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai has been a representative of power. Many heroes in the world have been applauded by Lao Yuan. The founder of the Beiyang New Army buried the Qing Dynasty with his own hands.
Dynasty, overwhelming the Revolutionary Party, Lao Yuan personally brought Beiyang to the pinnacle of glory.
However, it prospered and then declined, and Lao Yuan made a mistake at the last moment. He ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and everyone rebelled against their relatives. The originally unified country fell into complete collapse and war. Now Lao Yuan is dead, and what he left behind
How the chaos will end, no one can give an answer yet.
In fact, since announcing his abdication in March, Lao Yuan has reached the end of his life. He is full of worry and anger, and his body is getting weaker. Death is only a matter of time. However, everyone in Beiyang looks at Yuan Shikai with complicated emotions, especially his successor.
Prime Minister Duan Qirui.
When Lao Yuan ascended the throne, Duan Qirui strongly opposed it and even broke up with Lao Yuan. However, seeing that Lao Yuan was about to reach the end of his life, Duan Qirui felt very uncomfortable.
Duan Qirui is what he is today, all because of Yuan Shikai's promotion, and even the entire Beiyang was created by Lao Yuan. Without Yuan Shikai, they would not be where they are today. If Lao Yuan is leaving, will the Beiyang group prosper or decline?
, no one has any confidence, the more it is about to be lost, the more it is worth cherishing.
Only now did Duan Qirui and other Beiyang elders realize that Yuan Shikai was irreplaceable. In Yuan Shikai's last days, Duan Qirui visited Yuan Shikai almost every day to see if Yuan Yuan had any last words.
On the morning of June 6th, Duan Qirui went to visit Lao Yuan again. At this time, Yuan Shikai suddenly woke up and asked his men to help him get up. Duan Qirui initially thought that Lao Yuan had recovered.
, but he immediately noticed the abnormal flushing on Yuan Shikai's face, and Duan Qirui immediately knew that Yuan Shikai was having a comeback.
"Gongbao, if you have anything else to say, just tell me and I will definitely do it for you!"
Yuan Shikai's old eyes also shed tears, and his lips trembled for a long time before he said: "Zhiquan, I misheard what Shuzi said. One step I made was wrong, and every step was in vain. The good world is torn apart because of me. Yuan
I am ashamed of the world!"
"Gongbao, please don't say that. No one can make mistakes without being a sage, but your health is more important. Don't be too sad."
"Hey, my time is limited, so I will tell you a few words from the bottom of my heart. China's biggest enemy is Japan. Since the late Qing Dynasty, Japan has been the base camp of the Revolutionary Party. All the riots were the result of the Japanese behind the scenes.
This time Cai E is no exception. The Revolutionary Party is just a puppet of the Japanese. After you take power, you must beware of the Japanese!"
When Lao Yuan said this, he grabbed Duan Qirui's arm tightly with a firm look in his eyes. At this time, Yuan Keding, Yang Shiqi and others also rushed over. Lao Yuan had tears in his eyes and suddenly his throat was blocked.
, speechless.
"Get the ginseng quickly!" Duan Qirui shouted, and Lao Yuan's concubine hurriedly gave him a sip of ginseng soup. Speaking of which, this ginseng was given to Lao Yuan by Zhang Zuolin.
Laoshan ginseng has extraordinary effects. Yuan Shikai finally recovered and continued: "The revolutionary party must be wiped out. Fengtian Zhang Zuolin is very good at dealing with the Japanese. You can only win over them, not become enemies. Remember this!"
After explaining this, Lao Yuan's spirit completely weakened, and he said intermittently: "After my death, the Yuan family will handle the funeral by themselves. I still want to return to Huanshang Village..."
At this point, Yuan Shikai's voice was extremely weak, and he could only be heard muttering: "Destroy Japan's enemy and watch China rebuild its republic."
The hero's end, but that's it, everyone present shed tears. Yuan Shikai's body suddenly twitched, and he barely raised one hand, as if pointing at someone, and uttered two words: "It's him, it's him...
"Then Lao Yuan's eyes widened and he breathed his last.
Duan Qirui immediately arranged for people to send messages to all provinces, and Zhang Zuolin was naturally among them. Now Zhang Zuolin was holding this telegram and said to everyone: "Everyone, tell me, what should we do?"
"Respect Yuan, honor Yuan Shikai with the most solemn ceremony. All newspapers are mobilized to continuously publish Yuan Shikai's achievements. They write to Duan Qirui and request that Yuan Shikai be given the title of Father of the Nation!" Zhang Tinglan said loudly. (To be continued, request to be continued.)
