Fengxian Jiangshan

"Big beard. You are not young anymore. Do you still have the strength to indulge?"

"It's good to have a look." Horvath said with a smile: "Recently, there are many young girls in China who want to go outside to make a living. I think they have the habit of collecting beautiful things. As long as we cooperate happily, I can definitely give them to you. several."

Zhang Tinglan smiled calmly, obviously his mind was not on these Maomei, but calculated the situation in Russia from this side.A large number of Russian girls have even reached the point of selling their lust. This country is indeed disappointing to the extreme.

"Let's talk about the gold mine first. The Jiapigou Gold Mine has a vein of about 6 kilometers, and a large amount of gold is buried in it. During the Qing Dynasty, [-] taels of gold could be mined a year, which is absolutely unprecedented in China. It is one of the few large gold mines. I have sent experts to inspect it. If mechanized mining mode is introduced, the annual output of gold can reach about two tons."

Listening to Zhang Tinglan's introduction of the gold production, Horvath felt his blood swell and his breath became short of breath. This number is really astonishing, so he couldn't help being tempted.

"Zhang, how are you going to cooperate?" Horvath couldn't help but licked his lips, looking very greedy.

"Of course it's half of one person. I've always been fair in doing things, and I won't treat my friends badly."

Half of it is a ton of gold, and you can enjoy a ton of gold in a year!Horvath just felt as if a one-ton gold cake had hit him on the head, making him dizzy. This gold is more attractive and intoxicating than vodka.

"Zhang, tell me, what you need me to do, I will do my best to cooperate with you!"

"It's very simple. I need mining equipment. It's best to find some professional workers for me. I heard that there are many gold mines in the Far East, and there are also second-hand gold panning ships and other equipment in them. Bring me three or five sets. Don't worry, I will pay for these machines."

"I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult. The control of gold in China is very strict, and gold mining equipment will not be exported easily. I'm afraid I can't do it."

"It's not me." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I will do some activities, contact those mines with small gold production, let them take the initiative to scrap the machine, and then you can ship the machine to the mine in the name of buying scrap iron. Come here, there will be no problem at all."

When Horvath heard this plan, he couldn't help nodding in his heart. Although it was undoubtedly a moth of Russia and harmed the interests of the Tsarist government, Horvath couldn't care less about a ton of gold every year. up.

"Okay, I completely agree. We need to cooperate and transport the mining equipment over as soon as possible." Horvath has already rolled up his arms and sleeves and is ready to do a big job.

"Big Beard, now there is only one problem left, which is those Russian gold diggers. You must know that half of the gold they took away belongs to you. You can figure out how to deal with it!"

Zhang Tinglan kicked the ball to Horvath again. This is indeed a troublesome matter. Before 1 minute, these people were Russian businessmen whom Horvath wanted to protect, but now they have become opponents who robbed him of his interests. Old guy Can't help but feel embarrassed.

"Zhang, what do you think of recruiting them into our subordinates, gold mining always needs manpower."

"Do you want them to know the secret that Russia's scrap iron has turned into gold mining equipment in an instant?"

Zhang Tinglan stopped Horvath with a single sentence. He cooperated with Zhang Tinglan to poach the corners of Russia. Naturally, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. Moreover, because of Horvath’s greed, he was unwilling to let others share the benefits. If it wasn't for Zhang Tinglan holding his handle, the development of the gold mine would also be inseparable from Zhang Tinglan's help, and he even wanted to monopolize the gold mine.

"Zhang, you have always been the most resourceful. Tell me about your tricks."

"It's not a good idea, but it's actually very simple, just kill them all, and that's the end of it."

"No!" Horvath jumped up as if his tail was stepped on, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Zhang, there are hundreds of Russians in the gold mine, and they have connections with the country. If they all die in If we leave China, the country will definitely investigate, and if the truth is found out, it will be over for both of us.”

Since the Opium War, the lives of foreigners are very precious. The Japanese killed hundreds of people in two muddle-headed ways in Fengtian, almost causing Japan to go to war with China. If this happens in Jilin, the Tsarist Russian government will definitely shout and kill of.

"Big beard, killing Russian businessmen will attract the anger of the Russian government, but killing some people who oppose the tsar, will the Russian government still be dissatisfied?"

Horvath's mind is not slow, and he quickly understood Zhang Tinglan's thoughts. He tentatively said, "Do you mean to treat them as political prisoners and kill them?"

"Political prisoners, together with militants, conspired to use Jilin as a base to oppose His Majesty the Tsar. Hasn't this happened once? They also robbed the Japanese train, rampant to the extreme, and now the opposition in Russia is rampant Activities, if you can kill some people, not only will there be no trouble, the Russian government may even reward you!"

This is Zhang Tinglan's so-called best-of-both-worlds approach. Fake Horvat, kill the Russians in the gold mine, and then pretend to cooperate with Horvat to get the urgently needed machines to mine the gold mine. After a few months, Russia When the government is over, Zhang Tinglan will come and wipe it all out, and Horvath can't even catch a hair.

Of course, Horvat would not let Horvath know about Zhang Tinglan's vicious intentions, and Horvath would not believe that the Tsar would be finished in a few months.He kept weighing Zhang Tinglan's proposal in his mind. There was nothing special about this approach. In fact, it was the Russian version of killing the good and pretending to be meritorious. When suppressing the Russian peasant uprising, the tsar's army did not seldom do this kind of thing, Horwath It is also a familiar road.

"Zhang, can you guarantee that the news will not be leaked?"

"Of course it can be guaranteed. In fact, among the expatriates who fled from Russia to the Northeast, many people escaped because of political reasons. I will help you get real evidence, which is enough to stop the mouth of the Russian government, and even I will help you apply for the Tsar’s Medal, all you need to do is to nod your head, and you will have all the fame and fortune, so it’s up to you to choose!”

Horvath suddenly took a deep breath, shrugged, and said with a smile: "Zhang, do you think I can still refuse? I suggest that for our cooperation, let's have a toast together!"

While talking, Horvath called over two maids, who were different from the one at the beginning, but they were still hot, and filled them with strong vodka, Zhang Tinglan and Horvath both drank full One glass of wine, and a deal is done.

Zhang Tinglan settled Horwath, and the Jiapigou side can start. Zhang Zuoxiang asked Sun Anhu to lead the team in person to be on the safe side. A whole regiment of people sealed off the mining area, and all the Russians inside were arrested. In a valley, there are soldiers all around, staring at them with loaded guns.

These Russians never thought of such a day. Unless the Chinese are crazy, would they dare to do something to the people of His Majesty the Tsar? Over the years, only the Boxers have done this!

The Russian government will not ignore them. The great Governor Horvath will intervene. At any time, there will be Russian troops rushing towards the tide. Just when they were full of expectations, finally those Chinese soldiers took action , they rushed into the valley, and the crisp gunshots rang out immediately...

Chapter 268 Business Opportunities on Ice

There were endless gunshots in the valley, and every sound meant that a Russian gold digger was shot dead. Outside the valley, hundreds of Chinese workers gathered. They all stood here with solemn expressions, and some of them were still dragging spirit cards in their hands, crying Can't stop rolling down.

There have always been conflicts between the Chinese workers and the Russians surrounding the gold mine. Just this year, more than [-] workers died tragically, and the most was [-] people. Facing the rampant Russians, The anger of the Chinese workers has accumulated to the extreme.

But now this gang of vicious Russians are all being slaughtered in the valley like lambs, leaving nothing behind. These usually honest workers have no sympathy, only resentment. These beasts should have died a long time ago up.

The crisp gunshots became more and more urgent, and there were faint and miserable screams, which were heart-piercing. These workers couldn't help but clenched their fists tightly. They never thought that the squadron would have such a With courage, they can make decisions for them, and they will not worry about Russian revenge at all.

This simply overturned all their previous impressions, as if the sky had changed in an instant, everyone's hearts were under unprecedented shock, and the gunfire gradually stopped. From the valley, more than 200 Fengjun soldiers They came out one after another, and their bodies still smelled of blood and gunpowder smoke.

The soldiers came out silently, and the workers lined up into the valley. They had to sort out the Russian corpses and then burn them all.The workers who entered the valley could only see corpses all over the ground, densely packed, scattered all over the place, some had their heads beaten into rotten watermelons, some had huge blood holes in their chests, and their internal organs could be clearly seen.There were pools of blood on the ground, and the thick stench irritated everyone's nostrils.

Most of the workers saw this kind of scene for the first time in their lives, and many of them couldn't help retching, even if they didn't vomit, their faces were pale and they were at a loss.

The workers holding the spirit cards were different from the others. Some of these dead bodies were animals that killed their relatives. The blood and hatred made them forget their fear, and they kept searching for the corpses one after another to find the culprit.

Seeing the extremely arrogant murderer in the past.Turned into cold and hard corpses, they couldn't help crying bitterly, the resentment accumulated in their chests seemed to flow out with tears, and their loved ones in the sky must finally be able to rest their eyes at this moment.

After a long time, these workers recovered from the shock.They also put away their grief, and they silently piled up more than 100 Russian corpses in one place.Then sprinkle with kerosene.Then it was ignited, and the flames flew up. In a blink of an eye, the fire devoured all these dirty corpses, and they were burned together with another era. The Russians don't want to run wild on this land. Brand new opponent.

After going through this.The status of all the workers has changed greatly. They finally straightened their chests and finally had a sense of belonging to the government. The army no longer only knows how to deprive and deceive them.It will also provide them with protection and help them deal with the most vicious enemies.

Taking advantage of this good opportunity, Fengjun selected a hundred young and strong workers among the workers and asked them to form a militia guard team. Their task was to patrol and guard this place. It's still a Russian old man, as long as he dares to step into this land without permission, he will be punished.

Of course, the existing workers are far from enough. The Fengjun removed another 5000 people from the immigrants in the pass, and enriched them into the gold mine. Including the original manpower, the total number exceeded 6000. Among these people, A total of [-] militiamen were selected, all to receive military training and equipped with guns.

These militiamen are usually responsible for patrolling and combating theft. In times of war, they are also the first group of people to be mobilized. Not only the gold mines, but also the mines are also forming mine protection teams and providing weapons and equipment.

Zhang Tinglan also has his own calculations in implementing this strategy. Currently, he and Horvath are in a cooperative relationship, but after the new year, their cooperation will end, and the two sides will become enemies, or tit-for-tat enemies.

Since Tsar Peter, the Russians have been seeking to obtain an ice-free port. The Crimean War marked the failure of the Russians' efforts to obtain the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea. The Russians had to turn their attention to the east. The double-headed eagle stretched its claws to After entering Northeast China, they obtained Lushun Port, one of the best military ports in the Far East.

Immediately during the Russo-Japanese War, the Russians lost Nanman and Lushun Port, leaving only the Middle East Road, but the Russians never stopped their ambitions for the Northeast. In history, during the Yalta Conference, The bearded man still misses Lushun.

For Feng Jun, the Middle East is determined to win, and the Russians will not let go easily. The contradictions between the two sides are irreconcilable, and there is bound to be a time when they turn their faces.Zhang Tinglan had already figured it out, relying on the strength of the garrison division, it would be difficult to fight against the Russian railway garrison, let alone eliminate them quickly.

Therefore, expanding the army and preparing for battle became an inevitable choice. However, at this time, Fengjun's financial resources are limited, and the attitude of Zhang Zuolin and the Beiyang government must also be considered. Jilin must not expand the army wantonly.

After much deliberation, we had to change a strategy and increase the armed forces in the name of militia, mine protection team, police, and armed police.

Zhang Tinglan has already made a plan. The workers must be armed, and the immigrants outside the customs must form a large number of militias and receive militarized training. Of course, Zhang Tinglan must find a better excuse for his actions. The banner he played is armed immigrants!

Bandits in Jilin are rampant. If the immigrants can gain a foothold, they must be armed so that they have a certain ability to protect themselves. Moreover, Zhang Tinglan also made a request to Zhang Zuolin, hoping to form a border police to patrol the Sino-Russian border.

These are also normal measures, and Zhang Zuolin has no objection. He just requires that the border police must be organized in a unified way, and that Fengtian and Heilongjiang must also be deployed in a unified manner, and they must also coordinate in a unified manner.

After obtaining Zhang Zuolin's permission, the entire operation to expand the force began, and the whole province of Jilin was busy.
