In September 1899, the East China branch of Lin Ji's intelligence agency submitted a worrying report to Lin Youde.
The reason why the riots in Lin Youde's memory did not occur in Shandong is because some people implemented policies similar to Lin's in rural areas of Shandong, improving rural living conditions while channeling and utilizing the anti-foreign sentiments of the masses.
The report submitted by Jinan Station shows that since the spring of 1899, more than 100 organized xenophobic incidents have occurred in areas near Jinan. However, the process and data on casualties and financial losses show a certain degree of restraint, which is different from the madness in Lin Youde's memory.
The unbridled Boxer Rebellion was very different. Correspondingly, the demolition of telegraph lines and railways only happened in some relatively remote places. The closer to a big city, the less common it was.
At the end of the report, Chen Tianhua, the head of the East China branch and one of Lin Youde's most protégés, gave his own judgment: There are various signs that this is all related to the Tongmenghui. Considering that the Tongmenghui has never had a stable source of funds, it can be used to initiate rural reforms.
It is most likely "aid from certain imperialist countries".
When Lin Youde pointed this paragraph out to Ba, the girl immediately asserted: "It's the Xingya Council. According to the information brought by the immigrants, this organization has been controlled by Ttech and now serves the Japanese militaristic government."
Although Lin Youde had more or less guessed what was going on, he still felt regretful. In the last time and space, Lin Youde had always dismissed those conspiracy theories and firmly believed that the main body of the early Tongmenghui was indeed a patriot, but he was just too naive. But this
In the Alliance of Time and Space, because Lin Youde integrated the patriotic forces in Guangdong, Hong Kong and overseas Chinese in the United States under the name of the Nanyang Army, the Alliance could only completely turn to Japan.
"Now," Lin Youde leaned on the back of his huge and luxurious leather chair, looked at the scenery of Subic Bay outside the study window, and asked in a low voice, "I met Sun Wen before, should I take advantage of her?
Withhold it? According to the current development of the situation, when we go to the Northern Expedition as planned, she will not be able to escape her reputation as a traitor leader. Isn't this a little too cruel for her?"
Ba was silent for a while and then replied in a low voice: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is an eternal truth. No matter what justice and truth the parties hold, what persistence they have, and what expectations they have,
When he becomes another piece of history, none of this will matter. We always hope not to judge heroes based on success or failure, but history only recognizes success or failure."
**
Lin Youde thought that things in the north would not have anything to do with him for the time being. Anyway, if the Revolutionary Party overthrew the Qing Dynasty, it would immediately establish itself in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, and then launch troops to invade a series of provinces such as Guizhou, Jiangxi, etc. Although they dare not say that they would control the entire Yangtze River and beyond.
South, but there is no problem in occupying several provinces.
It would be better if Sichuan could be occupied, but it is very difficult to enter Sichuan in this era. The so-called "difficult road to Shu" is not just used to express emotions in this era. Without support from Sichuan Province, the troops of Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian will have to
It is more difficult to break into Sichuan. However, Linji's expansion in Sichuan was blocked by Pao Ge's forces. The impact on business was not obvious, but the mobilization of grassroots farmers was severely affected. The rural grassroots organizations still have no airs.
Put it up.
Therefore, Lin Youde is not worried at all about the trouble caused by the revolutionaries. By 1905, the Nanyang Army supported by the United States will complete preparations for the Northern Expedition. By then, no matter whether you are a feudal Tatar or a revolutionary republic, they will be overthrown for you. Lin Youde
What is to be established is not a capitalist parliamentary state, but a unified, centralized capitalist state. The state itself is the largest capitalist enterprise and the final form of monopoly capitalism...
However, these were the grand blueprints that Lin Youde planned to spend his whole life to realize. In 1905, he started the Northern Expedition. Lin Youde expected that it would take him five years or more to complete the unification of the country, and then there would be the integration of resources and preparations for the war with Japan and Russia.
.
Now in 1899, what Lin Youde wants to do is to farm efficiently.
After the alliance, the situation in Nanyang stabilized. Xiang Qiyi came to Helang Yabo, met with Lin Youde in a low profile, and also gave Josephine a gorgeous undershirt cut by an old tailor. Visit Tesla
After the cannon attack, Josephine often wore Hanfu on the pretext that she wanted to follow the local customs. This girl really hated Western-style clothes, so she extremely preferred to wear unfettered, comfortable and pleasant underskirts and skirts, and of course kimonos. So Mrs. Lin liked Hanfu.
The news did not spread by itself. Many people who wanted to follow Lin Youde's path had the idea of giving them clothes, and Xiang Qiyi was no exception.
After Xiang Qiyi left Helanggabo and returned to Manila, several changes occurred within the Nanyang Army. First, Xiang Qiyi gave up the business of Heshengtang, and Heshengtang was integrated into Linji.
Suddenly became shareholders of Lin Kee, and the main leaders of Heshengtang all followed the boss and became shareholders of Lin Kee. Secondly, Xiang Qiyi still has administrative rights within the control of Manila and the original Nanyang Army Second Town, but
Modeled on the control area of the first town, a tax-free system was implemented, and the operation of the administrative department was maintained by Lin Ji. Thirdly, the second town of the Nanyang Army began to be reorganized according to the establishment of the first division, and the military supplies were completely transferred to Lin Ji.
took responsibility and allowed Lin Youde to send people to serve in the army in the name of supervision, but the key command positions were still held by people from the Xiang Qiyi faction.
By doing this, Xiang Qiyi not only showed Lin Youde that he had no second thoughts, but also ensured his factional power within the Nanyang Army system; accordingly, no one in the jurisdiction of Nanyang Second Town could stop Lin Ji's expansion.
It has become an established fact that he controls the entire Philippine economy, and Lin Youde no longer has to worry about someone plotting to stab him in the back.
The overall result is pretty good, but from now on it will not be easy for Lin Youde to get rid of Xiang Qiyi. The secret agreement with Xiang Qiyi, as a stopgap measure, can be said to have both gains and losses.
The international side has also stabilized after the alliance, especially France. Not long after Lin Youde revealed the inside story of Tesla Cannon to Josephine, France's attitude towards Lin Ji changed subtly. Lin Youde speculated for a long time,
I felt that the French really believed that they had super weapons this time, so their trust in Josephine soared again, and they began to let her attend Lin Ji's high-level meetings.
Now Lin Youde is waiting to marry Josephine into the family, and then let Bawai go to integrate the power of the Japanese overseas. The Kashima Taisha Shrine in the previous time and space was located in Miyagi Prefecture, northeast of Honshu Island, Japan, and its specific location was roughly in the current Aizu Domain.
The northern part of the country. But the Kashima Taisha Shrine in this time and space is in Kyushu, and it is one of several large shrines that guard the entire territory of Japan.
Since all the high-ranking shrine maidens from Kashima Taisha Shrine came to Lin Youde, the Japanese immigrants to Luzon included more Kyushu residents. Therefore, Lin Youde planned to form a mixed society composed of Japanese from Kyushu. Lin Youde's idea
In the future, the formation of the Nanyang Army will not be strictly divided by region, but there will be some special regional detachments, such as the Hailufeng Detachment. Now the Hailufeng Detachment has been packaged and promoted by Lin Ji, and has a trump card.
The airs of the army have also formed a sense of regional pride in the Hailufeng region.
Among the young people in the Hailufeng area who have been influenced by Lin Ji's continuous rural work in the past few years, those who are good at learning are all aiming to pass the identification test and be sent to the United States to receive officer training as their first purpose. Those who are not good at learning are all in
During the off-farm period, they worked hard to practice their skills in the military training. Every year when Lin Ji recruited soldiers, all the villages in Hailufeng celebrated the festival by beating gongs and drums. The young people who were selected were overjoyed, while those who were not selected shed tears and were scolded by their fathers. At the same time,
Correspondingly, the soldiers sent by Hailufeng are of extremely high quality, especially their ideological quality. The young people of this generation are used to living a hard life, and have witnessed with their own eyes the tremendous changes in the village after Lin Ji's arrival, and their thoughts are both red and red.
Specialize.….
The Japanese are ruthless, and their culture's admiration for sacrifice is rare in the world. Only the Japanese in the world can do such a thing as breaking a jade. The most frightening thing is that at the end of World War II,
, the Japanese people really intend to break up with the emperor and the country. When the emperor announced his surrender, it happened that the principal of the school lamented that the country would not be a country, and led some teachers and students to die for the country. Therefore, it is best for the Japanese to use it to organize the army.
But that's it.
Interestingly, when Lin Ji disclosed his intention to form a Japanese army to some leaders of the Japanese overseas community, the immigrants from Okinawa quit. They requested to form an army composed entirely of Okinawans. The reason was very simple.
"We are not Yamato people, they are invaders." "Yamato people can form a company, why can't we form a company?" Lin Youde had no choice but to give instructions. While starting to prepare the Kyushu detachment, he also started preparing the Okinawa detachment.
The construction and expansion of the army was only part of Lin Youde's first five-year plan. What was more important was the construction of industry. Lin Ji had already controlled most of the rural areas in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, so Lin Youde was not worried about the supply of food for the time being.
In large-scale, long-term wars, what is actually fought for is war potential. Lin Youde knows this well. The saying that after learning the operation of the brother, the rest is just A. This is a true saying in real wars. As long as the war
If it is delayed long enough, the side with the highest war potential will always win. In the past, the main manifestation of war potential was population, but in the past hundred years, it has gradually turned into industry.
As early as when Lin Youde went to the United States to abduct his daughter, Lin Youde signed a package agreement with American giants, including a steel plant. Now this iron plant has begun trial production and will be fully operational in 1900, which is Lin Ji's
The military industry provides steel. Logically speaking, the steel provided by this iron plant is enough to arm the Nanyang Army, but Lin Youde still signed an agreement with the Americans to continue the construction of the second phase of the project.
The Americans were very strange, saying that there are no iron ores in the Philippines, why are you building so many steel plants? Lin Youde laughed and said nothing, drew a circle in central Luzon, and asked Jiu Jinji to guess, and then Lin Ji had his own
The first large-scale iron ore mining site.
This incident also had an unexpected consequence. Jiujin Ji began to call Lin Youde the chosen one, and several other high-level witches also began to look at Lin Youde with strange eyes, who always made gains after specifying a divination position.
Only Lan used this title as a joke to tease Lin Youde every day.
But Lan is just an example, and her unintentional ridicule also accelerated the spread of the title given to Lin Youde by Jiu Jinji. Originally, there were some seedlings of personality cults in the area under the control of Lin Ji's system, and this only intensified the situation.
This kind of personality worship has different manifestations among people with different cultural levels.
Needless to say, the simple working people, roadside storytellers and calligraphers have all come up with images of emperors. Feng shui masters often suggest that when a house has a bad omen, the owner should set up a shrine with a portrait of Lin Youde to ward off evil spirits. Even more exaggerated
One time, Lin Youde took Josephine for a walk on the street, and then he was stopped by an old woman who insisted that Lin Youde touch her newly born grandson to give the child a little royal aura.
And for scholars, Lin Youde is a great sage, a great contemporary Confucian, a great poet, and a great musician.
It's easy to understand that great poets just copy poems. Tang poetry and Song lyrics cannot be copied due to age issues, but Lao Mao's poems can still be copied. During the Spring Festival of 1899, Lin Youde copied a poem "Yong Mei", which is "Wait until the time comes"
The song "She laughed in the bushes when the mountain flowers were in full bloom" shocked a bunch of people.
This is easy to understand for a great Confucian and a great sage. Lin Youde did not do much else in college and read a lot of books. People who are armed with the knowledge of a hundred years later will be ghosts unless they become great sages...
Where did this great musician come from?
When Lin Youde was upgrading, he suddenly discovered that although the ability of the art department, basic composition, was relatively low in the entire skill tree, it was a skill with no prerequisite skills. It could not be used before, probably because of Lin Youde's
There is also a hidden level setting for reputation, which cannot be clicked if the level is not high enough.
Then Lin Youde thought for a while that music could be used to gain reputation, so he clicked on it.
Although it was just basic composition, the problem was that Lin Youde was better at memorizing melodies in the previous time and space, and he could whistle many songs directly. After acquiring the basic composition ability, Lin Youde copied these songs.
The music score then naturally became my own thing.
For example, he copied the "Soviet March" and wrote a song "The Nanyang Army is Advancing". This song quickly received high praise after it was unveiled at the Queen's disembarkation ceremony. Therefore, in the reports of Western reporters, Lin Youde once again
There is an extra layer of halo, and then this halo flows back to the Chinese community through Chinese newspapers.
In addition to songs such as "Hundred Years of Sleep" that Lin Youde "composed" before, Lin Youde's identity as a great musician is determined.
In addition to these, among young people, Lin Youde also has the title of principal, because he likes to give lectures at the Nanyang Higher Preparatory School established by Lin Ji in Langgabo, and he also holds the title of honorary principal.
Lin Youde felt that there would be no problem in personality cults as long as the admired people did not get carried away or make mistakes. On the contrary, it would better unite the organization, so he didn't care about it. Anyway, there was no shortage of people in his staff who dared to point out his mistakes.
: Not to mention the two girls, Ba and Josephine, Chen Haihui will probably be a character who will jump out and beat him up when he makes a mistake when he returns.
In short, from 1900 to 1905, Lin Ji's timetable was filled with various construction plans, including steel plants, railways, rubber plants, machine manufacturing plants, electrolytic aluminum plants and supporting super-large power plants, etc. Among them, electrolysis
The specifications of the aluminum plant are the highest in the world. Because in this time and space, the overall development of electricity lags behind that of the previous time and space, so Helangabo is now the city with the most abundant and stable power supply in the world. Only Helangabo has the conditions to build a large-scale electrolysis
Aluminum factory.
In addition, due to the lag in the development of electricity, at the end of the summer of 1899, Sophie completed the world's first dry battery, and it was an alkaline battery with the best performance from the start, so the construction of a battery factory was also included in the plan.
At that time, the Nanyang Army will be equipped with a second-generation communication system, and the short-lived power generation troops will become history.
Just when Lin Ji was gathering all his energy and preparing to do something big in the new century, the revolutionary party in Shandong revolted.
