Just before Xu Shuzheng arrived, Zhang Tinglan had already sent a secret telegram to Sun Liechen, which highlighted these two conditions, which must be resolved by Fengjun. Once the agreement between Duan Qirui and Japan is signed, Fengjun will have to deal with it.
It is like having an extra sharp sword that can fall down at any time and will seriously affect Fengtian's economic construction, so it must not be passed.
As for the other two items, they are also what Zhang Tinglan covets the most. The aviation school is the foundation of the future air force, and its importance is self-evident. As for the Dagu Shipyard, it is one of the important factories that cannot be ignored.
The Dagu Shipbuilding Factory was built very early. Before the Beiyang Fleet was officially formed, the Dagu Shipbuilding Factory was established. It was mainly responsible for the maintenance of the Beiyang Fleet. It repaired a large number of Beiyang ships. Later, it began to imitate arms and had the ability to produce fast artillery.
Ability, during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, it also produced mines.
However, like all the factories in the Qing Dynasty, they were just temporary projects. Due to insufficient orders and insufficient investment, the factory's condition became worse and worse. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the Dagu Shipbuilding Station suffered an unprecedented disaster. The Russians occupied it.
After all the machines were dismantled in the factory, the number of workers dropped from more than 600 in its heyday to just over 180.
After a bleak operation, the scale of the factory continued to recover, and the Beiyang government also invested some funds. Just last year, Dagu Shipbuilding successfully copied the Maxim machine gun. It can be seen that the factory still has some accumulation. However, due to the lack of attention of the Beiyang government, Dagu Shipyard
Gu Shipbuilding can only survive by contracting some projects.
But it may not be anything in Beiyang's eyes, but Zhang Tinglan attaches great importance to the Dugu Shipyard, which is home to the earliest batch of shipbuilders in China, many of whom are old craftsmen from the pre-Qing Dynasty. Although they have fallen behind the times, they have been for many years.
Sharpen. They have many excellent practical skills, which are definitely very valuable assets.
In the field of technology, it is not just what is invented that counts. It is equally important to turn the things on the drawings into real objects. And to do this, what is most needed is the knowledge accumulated by workers from generation to generation.
The practical skills that have been drafted by these workers are a huge asset.
And if it can get the Dagu Shipyard in its hands, Fengjun will have the foundation of the shipbuilding industry, which can fill the gaps in the industry in the three eastern provinces. At present, the Dagu Shipyard can repair small and medium-sized warships, and can also produce cargo ships of several hundred tons. If it is added
With some machines, it is not a problem to produce ships of 1,000 tons. In this way, the military can produce warships such as destroyers, frigates, patrol boats, and torpedo boats on its own. This is also a great step.
In Zhang Tinglan's overall plan, the navy ranks at the bottom of the three armed forces. As a country with a vast territory, the army is the foundation of the country. The world of air force has just started. This is also when the gap between Fengjun and the world is smallest, and it must be firmly established.
bite.
Only the navy has fallen far behind its main rival Japan since the Sino-Japanese War. To vigorously develop the navy at this time is to use one's shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths. It is very unwise.
Of course, this does not mean that we should not develop maritime power. On the contrary, we must also invest a lot of energy. The mission of Fengjun's maritime power is to ensure the security of coastal areas and cooperate with the air force. Basically guarantee the control of the Bohai Sea. If the strength increases, we can focus more on it.
On submarines, underwater power threatens Japan's maritime lifeline. Finally, it develops aircraft carrier power to compete for China's overseas interests.
Zhang Tinglan has a very clear idea of naval development, but the starting point of these is the shipbuilding industry, and Dagu Shipbuilding is an indispensable part. Moreover, Dagu Shipbuilding also has the ability to build guns and can be integrated into Fengjun
In the military industry system.
China's industrial base is not good to begin with. As long as there are a few factories, if Fengjun wants to develop rapidly, he must not lose any of them and try his best to move them to the three northeastern provinces to quickly establish an industrial system.
When Xu Shuzheng heard Sun Liechen's offer, his expression suddenly changed. If the privileges of the three northeastern provinces were not sold to the Japanese, Japan would definitely not agree to the loan, which meant that the loan would be wasted. How could Xiao Xu's face look good? As for
The aviation school and the Dagu factory were also Beiyang's industries. If they were handed over to Fengjun, it would be like cutting off the flesh on the body, and he did not want to agree.
Seeing Xu Shuzheng's troubled face, Sun Liechen said with a smile: "Secretary-General Xu, a telegram has just been sent from the front. Fengjun has successfully repelled the counterattack of the Braided Army. Now the army is hoarding in Nanyuan. Just give the order.
We can blow open the city of Beijing. The reason why we didn't take action is because we don't want to make it difficult for Mr. Duan. If you are still unwilling to agree, then things will be difficult to handle?"
Sun Liechen's words were like a knife, piercing Xu Shuzheng's heart. After seeing the Fengjun troops, Xu Shuzheng knew that this was a very powerful force. If they cut off the arms supply, they could still defeat Zhang Xun, which would prove that they
It really has the strength to defeat Beijing.
If Fengjun rushes into Beijing, Li Yuanhong will definitely gain power, and Duan Qirui will never be able to clear his name, and he may never be prime minister again. Despite the harmony in Beiyang, it seems that everyone respects Duan Qirui, but what is the reality?
There is an account in my heart.
Take this revolt as an example. After Fengjun accelerated his actions, Wu Peifu, the top cadre under Cao Kun, the Zhili governor, also accelerated his marching speed. He was likely to rush into Beijing ahead of Duan Qirui, which made it clear that the Zhili people were in danger.
Lao Duan's struggle to seize class and power is actually a source of internal and external troubles.
After carefully weighing it again and again, Xu Shuzheng stamped his feet and barely squeezed out one word from between his teeth: "Okay!"
Seeing that Xu Shuzheng had given in, Sun Liechen also had a smile on his face: "Secretary-General Xu is indeed able to take care of the overall situation. Don't worry, I will send a telegram to Zhuoyan now to ask them to cooperate with your actions as much as possible. You are the first to quell the rebellion.
of!"
After the two parties negotiated the terms, Lao Duan hurriedly swore his oath and drove quickly to Beijing along the railway. Sun Liechen also sent a telegram to Zhang Tinglan and told the situation.
Zhang Tinglan was extremely happy when he saw that Lao Duan finally gave in. The main purpose of leading the troops into the customs this time was to gain various practical benefits. Now he has swallowed two pieces of fat, but for Zhang Tinglan, this is still just
It's just an appetizer, the real meal is yet to come.
When the troops were resting, Zhang Tinglan called Xia Han over.
"Zhang Xun was hit hard by us. I guess he won't be able to hold on anymore. You go and put some arms on him to let him hold on for a while, especially bullets and grenades. Try to supply them as much as possible, but there is a prerequisite. The price must be doubled several times."
That’s it!”
"Don't worry, I know everything in my mind."
Xia Han happily accepted this task, immediately left Nanyuan and sneaked into the city. At this time, the commander-in-chief Zhang Xun had just returned from defeat, his face was full of sorrow, and his subordinates also wanted to eat bitter melon, crying and crying.
The other old and young people, as well as the newly minted civil and military officials, were all in panic at this time, as if they were mourning their heirs. Most of these people were complete losers. If they had the ability, they would have already started struggling when the Qing Dynasty fell. Why bother?
Wait until now.
They have also felt a huge loss in the past few years. Although there is still a lot of money in the family, there is no power left at all. The bustling scene has disappeared, and they are sitting on nothing. After all, they are all distressed.
Zhang Xun's restoration finally gave them a chance to crawl out of the grave. Like zombies, they stretched out a hand from the grave and were about to enjoy the emperor's rain and dew. As a result, their only support was destroyed.
In the face of a disastrous defeat and seeing that Beijing is about to lose its security, how can they not worry!
"Don't look like a dead father. As long as I, Zhang Xun, still have three inches of energy left, I will ensure the safety of His Majesty. There will be no mistakes. Now the whole city is on alert. All troops are on guard and will defend the country to the death.
.
"Your Majesty, Duan Qirui has also pledged to send troops. In one day, Fengjun and Beiyang's three armies will meet under the city. Do you have any way to deal with it then?"
Faced with Kang Youwei's question, Zhang Xun shook his head and said loudly: "Yes, why not? I am giving an order now. All the Eight Banners disciples in the city must gather together. Everyone under fifty years old and above twelve years old will get guns for me."
When we go into battle, we must protect our master's empire even if we are bloody."
After listening to Zhang Xun's statement, Kang Youwei didn't say a word. As soon as he turned around, Kang Sheng went to the toilet and quickly put on ordinary clothes, patched up his court boots, wore a flower feather on his head, and a court pearl.
They were all rolled up together and thrown into the big cesspool.
Kang Shengren knew in his heart that Zhang Xun was a cornered beast and had no hope. It was time to wake up from his dream of restoring the Qing Dynasty. Whoever wanted to die would die. Anyway, Kang Shengren would not be left to be shot. He had already
After thinking about it, as long as he ran to Dongjiaomin Lane and took shelter from the foreigners, he could save his life.
This is how he escaped during the last Reform Movement of 1898, and he still takes the medicine according to the prescription. When he was escaping, he also looked at the costumes symbolizing the Manchu officials in the cesspit. With his last cruel move, he may be the same for the rest of his life.
Can't wear it anymore.
Kang Shengren was the first to run away, but Zhang Xun was not willing to give up and was ready to give it a try. He took out all the remaining arms and armed the braided army. However, what made Zhang Xun furious was that there were both guns and artillery.
He couldn't keep up with the bullets. How could he not be annoyed? He couldn't help scolding Gao Xiaoshan for being stupid. Why didn't he know how to buy weapons with all the bullets?
At this time, someone suddenly came to see Zhang Xun with a one-armed young man. After seeing Zhang Xun, this young man was not at all reserved. Instead, he smiled and spoke proactively.
"Prince Zhang, I heard that you are encountering some difficulties now. I happen to have a batch of arms to sell. If you want, I will send them to you right away!"
"Crazy man, do you think that arms can be used casually? Even if you have bullets, can you ensure that the caliber is the same?"
"Isn't it an eight-millimeter Steyrmann Lixia rifle? What's the problem? I have four million rounds of ammunition. I wonder if Prince Zhang wants it?"
Zhang Xun's eyes turned red when he heard this. This was exactly what he needed: "How much do you want?"
The young man waved his hand: "Five million, not a penny less!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
