If you want to get things done, it's not enough to just spend money. You have to spend every penny wisely. Although Fengjun is much richer than before, there are still too many places where money needs to be spent, especially large-scale industrialization.
Construction costs money everywhere. No factory is created out of thin air, and the cost of supporting infrastructure is even more staggering.
Zhang Tinglan just put forward a suggestion for road construction. As for how to implement it specifically and how to coordinate the work of all parties, Wang Yongjiang needed to make arrangements. Wang Yongjiang is also a good hand in internal affairs, and he quickly formulated a plan.
After getting Lao Zhang's approval, large-scale construction projects began in the three northeastern provinces.
Roads and railways need to be built, rural wells and canals need to be dug, and primary and secondary schools in various places need to be built. If various factories are added, the three northeastern provinces will instantly become a large construction site. It really has the flavor of large-scale investment and construction for future generations.
This is also inevitable for industrial development. If there is no ability to make troubles, the country will definitely have no hope. In order to ensure the smooth construction of these projects, a total of more than 200,000 professional construction workers have been invested in the three northeastern provinces, and civilian workers have been mobilized from all over the country.
More than one million people.
All lumberyards and cement plants are operating around the clock. Now it is just the end of spring plowing. The farm model has once again shown its powerful power. The people's enthusiasm for labor is unprecedentedly high. In addition to large-scale projects responsible for the government, the farm model
Everyone also took action.
Several nearby farms can be regarded as a village, and all the labor force is organized together to build roads, dig wells and canals. In fact, they are responsible for the bottom part of the entire "village-to-village" plan, which Wang Yongjiang originally estimated would take ten years.
It can achieve results, and now I see that it may be completed faster.
Wang Yongjiang was also shocked by the huge power contained in the people. Chinese people are the most hard-working and kind-hearted people. As long as they can unleash their power, they can have the power to change the world.
Faced with this unparalleled force, Wang Yongjiang also knew better that people's morale should be encouraged but not vented, and the people must not be disappointed. Therefore, Wang Yongjiang formulated strict regulations. During the construction process, any private fraud must be severely dealt with.
, no matter who is involved, rape must not be tolerated.
Compared with Fengtian, which focuses on economic construction, other areas are more chaotic. The battle between Duan Qirui and Li Yuanhong has reached a fever pitch. With the support of provincial governors, Duan Qirui finally suppressed Li Yuanhong. Li Bodhisattva had to agree to be like Germany
To declare war, all it takes is authorization from Congress.
But at this juncture, the Beijing News suddenly broke a huge piece of news, that is, Duan Qirui secretly borrowed 100 million yuan in military loans from Japan in order to declare war with Germany.
After this news broke out, the world was shocked. The first to bear the brunt were Duan Qirui, who was at the center of the storm. The other was Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast who had just defeated Russia and was in full swing. Fengjun was involved, and it made sense.
To put it simply, Lao Duan sold out a large amount of the interests of the three northeastern provinces in order to obtain military loans from Japan.
The gold mines and timber in Jilin and Heilongjiang, the steel in Fengtian, road construction rights, and even financial interests were all sold to the Japanese at a low price by Lao Duan. Feng Jun didn't know anything, so he was packaged and sold by Lao Duan. Zhang Zuolin's anger
One can imagine.
In fact, there was another person who was most shocked, and that was Yang Yuting. This little Zhuge heard Zhang Tinglan's analysis not long ago, and Yang Yuting felt that it was very accurate and reasonable.
The results were quickly verified. It is not difficult to analyze, but it is not possible for ordinary people to analyze it so accurately. Zhang Tinglan is definitely as wise as a demon, and he is almost as wise as Zhuge Liang, who has no clues in the book.
Well, at this time, Yang Yuting had to admit that his idea was simple. He wanted to participate in the war and regain sovereignty. This matter was definitely not simple.
Participating in World War I is indeed the best way for China to break the pattern of being controlled by foreign powers, but good things must be done by good people, and a crooked monk cannot recite good things.
Take the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty as an example. Many of its contents were quite good, but in the end they only brought about the fate of national subjugation. This is also the case in Beiyang now. After the news was revealed by the press, the top brass of Fengjun were all shocked. Filled with righteous indignation, everyone gathered in the Tiger Hall.
, even Zhang Zuoxiang, who was in Jilin, rushed over.
"Damn it, Duan Qirui sold us to the Japanese. Everyone, tell me, what should we do?"
"Commander, I think this matter is probably true. Duan Qirui has gone to a crazy point in order to obtain financial support from Japan. Feng Jun will never agree." Governor Wang Yongjiang spoke first, and Duan Qirui said
The road construction rights and mines have been sold, and now Fengjun is engaged in construction. If the traitorous treaty is implemented, all the projects that Fengjun finally started will be stopped, and the plan that Wang Yongjiang just formulated will be invalidated. What is going on in his heart?
Can you not be angry?
"Who the heck is Duan Qirui? We finally fought hard to fight for sovereignty despite the pressure from the Japanese, but in the end, his dignified Prime Minister sold us all without caring. Feng Jun will never admit it!
"Sun Liechen also expressed his position.
Lao Zhang listened to the discussion of the big guys, nodded, and said: "What you guys said all makes sense. We will immediately send a joint call to ask Duan Qirui whether he has betrayed the interests of the Northeast!"
"Commander, I think a hundred power lines are not as effective as a single mobilization of the army. I suggest that a military exercise be held along the Beijing-Fenghuang Railway. The content should include long-distance attacks, firepower attack, cooperation between various armies, etc., to demonstrate our military strength.
Powerful fighting power!"
The Beijing-Fenghuang Railway was the transportation hub for Feng troops entering Beijing. The purpose of conducting military exercises along the railway was very clear. Bingfeng was referring to the Beiyang Duan Qirui government.
In foreign affairs, silence is often better than sound. No matter how fierce the protest is, it will not have any effect, and it may also show one's guilty conscience. But mobilizing the army and speaking with silent steel will
The effect will only be more amazing.
Beijing and Fengtian are so close, and Fengjun is conducting a large-scale military exercise. Let Lao Duan think about it. Zhang Zuolin is also very angry. Military exercises are more exciting and more deterrent than electrification. Lao Zhang thought
I thought, and immediately agreed.
Not only did he agree, Lao Zhang also sent an invitation to Duan Qirui. The Beiyang government could also send people to watch the ceremony and see Fengtian's mighty master.
The news that Fengjun was going to conduct a large-scale military exercise spread, and this suddenly added a barrel of oil to the lively dispute between the government and the Yuan. Various theories emerged one after another. Some said that Marshal Zhang was dissatisfied with Prime Minister Duan and wanted to lead troops to Beijing.
Duan Qirui was driven away, and some people even said seriously that Li Yuanhong had handed over the order of rebellion to Zhang Zuolin, and he only waited for Fengjun to arrive, so he cooperated internally and externally to capture Duan Qirui.
The person who made this statement probably watched too much Romance of the Three Kingdoms and regarded this incident as a belt edict. However, the more unreliable the news, the more market it has, and the public opinion was in an uproar for a while. Everyone was
There was a lot of discussion and speculation about what might happen.
Duan Qirui also suddenly became confused. He signed a secret loan agreement with the Japanese. It was true, and not only the interests of the three northeastern provinces were betrayed, but also many other interests were betrayed. Old Duan did not think that he had done anything wrong.
, when the government is in trouble, it needs money. Where can you get the money if you don’t betray the country!
But Lao Duan also knows that once such a thing is disclosed, it will be difficult to deal with it. Not long ago, he swore in Congress that there would be absolutely no secret loans between China and Japan, but in the blink of an eye, those congressmen were slapped in the face.
He was very angry and asked Premier Duan again.
President Li Yuanhong also seized this God-given opportunity, and his attitude became tough in an instant. What made Lao Duan most troublesome was Zhang Zuolin's attitude. Fengjun actually wanted to conduct military exercises. Wasn't this a way for him to get out of trouble?
"It's crazy. This Zhang Huzi, does he want to lead the army and break into the pass? I'll wait for him here to see who is stronger, Fengjun or Beiyang!"
Duan Qirui jumped on his feet and yelled, and Xu Shuzheng, who was very resourceful, was suddenly at his wits end. The matter in front of him was indeed too difficult. A congress is not scary, a bachelor president is not scary, and the princes of a place are not scary either.
But when these three forces were added together, the power produced was so amazing that Prime Minister Duan could not help but feel frightened and restless.
"Zhi Weng, the top priority is to prevent Zhang Zuolin and Li Yuanhong from colluding. Once the two cooperate, one holds the gun and the other controls the name. If the two merge into one, our situation will be dangerous."
Old Duan also calmed down. Xu Shuzheng's words made sense. It is indeed not appropriate to make too many enemies now. Old Duan thought for a moment and asked, "Zheng Zheng, do you have any opinions?"
"Zhiweng, the art of war pays attention to the virtual and the real. Zhang Zuolin was engaged in military exercises and shouted very loudly, but I think he would never dare to enter the pass. Fengjun had just had a conflict with the Russians and was at odds with the Japanese. He entered
Isn’t Guan afraid that his retreat will be taken? Let’s not say anything. If he wants to practice, he can practice. As long as he stationed troops in Shanhaiguan to intimidate Zhang Zuolin, there is no need to worry too much!”
"This is a way. Zhang Zuolin, the bandit leader, is very powerful. It is indeed inappropriate to have a head-on conflict with him. It is better to deal with the damn Congress and Li Bodhisattva first."
After thinking about the countermeasures, Lao Duan sighed again: "Zheng Zheng, now I finally understand the difficulties of Gongbao. The so-called democracy and republic are really not the same thing. Whatever you want to do, you will be subject to all aspects."
The constraints are that all major military and national affairs are left to a group of congressmen. What can they discuss and how much do they know? They are just a bunch of scholars who can only talk and talk, and they are of no use at all."
Lao Duan was full of anger. He could only cut the knot with a sharp knife and pass the bill declaring war on Germany as soon as possible. To this end, Lao Duan could only find Li Yuanhong again and ask Li Bodhisattva to order the dissolution of Congress.
In the presidential palace, Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui were sitting opposite each other. After Lao Yuan died, Li Yuanhong succeeded the president and Duan Qirui became the prime minister. Li Bodhisattva was a generous man and had a high reputation. Duan Qirui was upright and had a breeze on his sleeves.
These two people leading the country have indeed given many people a glimmer of hope that the country may be able to get better and better from now on.
But this is not the case at all. The gap between the president and the prime minister is getting deeper and deeper, almost to the point of tit-for-tat.
"President, in the Congress, the Democratic Party elements are causing trouble and obstructing the country's major affairs. I implore the President to issue an order to dissolve the Congress and hold a new election."
At this point, Lao Duan emphasized again: "The governors of all provinces also mean this!"
Li Yuanhong frowned when he heard these obviously provocative words, and the flesh on his big face trembled. He said slowly: "Zhiquan, it is reasonable for the parliamentarians to object, and among the governors of various provinces,
Among them, the attitude was also different. Zhang Zuolin, the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, Zhang Zuoxiang, the governor of Jilin, and Wu Junsheng, the governor of Heilongjiang, jointly submitted a letter asking for an explanation on the loan issue to Japan. At the same time, they also said that if they wanted to participate in the war at the cost of betraying national sovereignty, Fengjun officers and soldiers
Absolutely disagree!”
"President, why should you take the nonsense written by some newspapers seriously? How could Duan betray the country? These are all malicious slanders by villains."
"Well, I also believe in the Prime Minister's innocence. However, in order to set the record straight, I suggest that the Prime Minister take a break for a while until the matter is investigated clearly before resuming the work of the government."
