Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhang Tinglan laughed at himself, and then said: "In order to promote literacy, Fengjun used a lot of pinyin. How many literati have stood up and scolded the street, saying that abandoning traditional culture is stifling cultural inheritance. In fact, I have more radical ideas." The measures are going to be promoted, that is to gradually promote simplified characters, I am afraid that there will be more scolding at that time. But Mr. Shao, have you noticed that the group of people who are also scolding pinyin turned their heads and said that they should abandon Chinese characters and want to completely Westernization, the introduction of Western alphabets, can make such a suggestion, can they really love traditional culture?"

Faced with Zhang Tinglan's question, Shao Piaoping was dumbfounded. Originally, he didn't think about the problem from this perspective, but now that Zhang Tinglan said this, he suddenly came to his senses. Indeed, in recent years, there have always been some diametrically opposite things. The literati seem to be really schizophrenic, playing double standards to the extreme.

Shao Piaoping thought about it painfully, and then said: "Director Zhang, this may be the way of the old scholar-bureaucrats' empty talk to harm the country. Our big empire has too much dregs of traditional culture, and the poison is too serious. As long as we innovate the culture, maybe there will be more Hope for change."

"I'm afraid this is wrong. The same Confucian classics, there were the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the splendor of the Song and Ming Wenzhi, and finally fell to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and the country was on the verge of subjugation. The same Confucianism, how every dynasty is different, in fact It’s a question worth thinking about.”

"Wish to hear it!"

"There is no crime in culture, the crime is in those who inherit the culture, especially when a few people monopolize the culture, they are out of touch with the country."

How to look at traditional culture, this topic is also a very hot topic in later generations. There is even an upsurge in Chinese studies, and things like the Three Character Classic and Disciple Rules have been dug out. Whether it is Westernization or traditionalism has always been debated.

In fact, this kind of debate began in the Republic of China, and Zhang Tinglan was also trying to find the answer to this question. After repeated thinking, Zhang Tinglan had some understanding.

"Mr. Shao, in ancient China, the number of literate people would not exceed 5.00% at most, and to govern a huge country, it is necessary to select officials from among these very few scholars. Even if they cannot become officials, these literati can still Being a teacher, doing leisurely work like copywriting, living comfortably, even their descendants can follow their old ways and continue to be so comfortable, so they will despise manual labor and oppose the development of science and technology, because these are their benefit impact.

Especially when it came time to change the dynasty, these literati were actually very confident. Conquering the world depends on military generals, and governing the world depends on literati. No matter who is in power, they can continue to be officials and enjoy privileges.With this confidence, will they swear to resist foreign enemies? Therefore, whether it is the end of the Song Dynasty or the end of the Ming Dynasty, there are many traitors in the civil official group, vying to betray the country. The bigger the official, the happier the traitor will be.In order to solve this problem, the innovation of culture is a matter of life and death, and the most important thing is to popularize knowledge! "

Chapter 3 The Russian Army Invades

In fact, the situation in the Republic of China was not much different from that of previous dynasties. There were only a very small number of scholars, and their status was very noble. However, due to the chaos in the world, the actual power was held by the military leaders everywhere. Want to seize power.

In the past, they used the cloak of Confucius and Mencius, but now that China has been trampled under the feet of the great powers, the banner of Confucius and Mencius has lost its color, and these people have turned to the banner of the West, advocating a new culture and advocating total Westernization.

In fact, no matter whether it is westernization or sinicization, there can be a prosperous age. Zhang Tinglan does not deny this, but this change must be led by the majority. A small number of intellectuals can only play a leading role and cannot be controlled by these few people. .

"Knowledge and culture are in the hands of a few people, and they suddenly become noble, and they can live comfortably with only one mouth. I don’t want to drive away the big powers, and I don’t want to make the country truly prosperous and powerful, because as long as China changes, there will be a large increase in the number of scholars, which will be a huge impact on them. In society, some businessmen work for Westerners and live by foreigners. These people They are called compradors, and there are also some in the cultural field. They use the slogan of advocating Western culture to seek personal gain. These people should be called cultural compradors. Their purpose is not to eliminate poverty and backwardness, but to consume poverty and backwardness by Use this to maintain yourself a comfortable little life."

If he heard such words in the past, Shao Piaoping would definitely refute them immediately, and would continue to write articles denouncing them, but today, after he has witnessed something with his own eyes, he will go to confirm what Zhang Tinglan said, no matter how much he rejects it.He had to admit that what Zhang Tinglan said made sense.

Shao Piaoping hugged her head in pain, squatted on the side, and fell into deep thought silently. The reason why Zhang Tinglan was willing to talk to Shao Piaoping was because Zhang Tinglan knew that this person was different from those traditional scholars. He had a conscience and could speak up for justice. Hard bones.

Dealing with those rubbish literati is actually a very long process. Of course, Zhang Tinglan can't always be on the front line.Therefore, it is necessary to recruit some literati with conscience and use literati to deal with literati.Of course, the main purpose of doing this is to target the majority of young people, let them find the right path, avoid being confused by the garbage that monopolizes the right to speak, and then attract more talents to serve the Feng Faction.

As for those selfish literati.It is only worthy of being swept into the dustbin of history, and will be eliminated sooner or later.For a long time.Shao Piaoping finally stood up.He bowed deeply to Zhang Tinglan.

"The words of Governor Zhang are like Huang Zhong Dalu. In the past, Shao took a wrong path and didn't know it. I'm really ashamed!"

"Mr. Shao, there is no right or wrong in some things. The key is what position you stand on. This is especially true for news. You must stand on the standpoint of the nation, stand on the standpoint of the majority of the poor, and promote those A small person who really contributes to the country. Acting as the mouthpiece of the majority is the social responsibility of an excellent reporter.”

"That's right, thanks to Superintendent Zhang for your guidance. Shao's report will start to change from here. We will report on these soldiers and workers and praise their heroes and greatness!"

When Shao Piaoping said this, there was a trace of relief on his face, and they continued to walk inside, and came to the burn ward, where there were six burnt soldiers lying there, and beside the innermost bed, a A young female student wipes the face of a soldier on a hospital bed with a warm towel in her hand.

Her movements were very gentle and meticulous, for fear of hurting the other party, after Zhang Tinglan and the others arrived, the doctor also rushed over to change the soldiers' dressings.

Several conscious soldiers were very excited when they saw Zhang Tinglan coming, struggling to salute him, but Zhang Tinglan quickly waved his hands to keep them still.

"Everyone take good care of your wounds, follow the doctor's instructions, and recover your body quickly. Our Fengjun is expanding, and we need big guys!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Tinglan said to the doctor again: "How is the soldier's condition? Is it dangerous?"

"The condition of the other soldiers is basically stable. Only Lin Shuo in the innermost part is in serious condition. He has the largest burns and has not recovered yet. But I checked and found that his will to survive is very tenacious and he should be able to survive this test. .”

"He will be fine!" The female student said as if she was talking to herself: "He is a hero. Without him, more than a dozen of our classmates would have died in the sea of ​​fire. Heroes would not be so small Injured and defeated, doctor, don’t you think so?”

She asked suddenly, and the doctor nodded hurriedly: "It's okay, you will definitely recover, you are a good girl, and God will help you!"

Hearing the doctor's words, the little girl's face turned slightly red, and Zhang Tinglan obviously heard something strange. Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Yes, you must have confidence. After he recovers, I plan to award him an honor. Soldiers make meritorious deeds by killing people, and they can also make meritorious deeds by saving people. They kill the enemy and save their own people.”

Zhang Tinglan checked it, then backed out, called the doctor to her side, and asked, "Is there any difficulty in the hospital now? Tell me all of them, and I will try my best to solve it!"

"The main problem is medicine and doctors. Our hospital has treated a dozen patients at most in the past, but now the number has increased by dozens of times. It is really unbearable. The most important thing is that there is a serious shortage of medicines. Not enough narcotics."

"Since Fengtian has shipped a batch of medical supplies, including alcohol gauze and other things, it has arrived in Harbin and will be sent to the hospital immediately. Other medicines are also being purchased and will be delivered soon. Only the doctor is troublesome. , we have a shortage of doctors in the three northeastern provinces, and now almost all of them can be transferred."

Fengtian signed a supply agreement with the Allies. With the expansion of the number of goods, some medical supplies were also included, including alcohol, gauze, knives, disinfectant, etc. These things were originally intended to be shipped to Russia, but they are no longer needed now. It was given to the wounded of Fengjun.

Zhang Tinglan also actively fought for the authorization of drug production, but the big powers disagreed life and death. The drugs involved the chemical industry, and the profits were too lucrative.

"Supervisor, since Fengtian is so short of doctors, I will immediately write an article and publish it in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and other places, hoping to attract some doctors, and then encourage everyone to donate medicine. It can be regarded as doing something for the soldiers of Fengjun."

"Then I would like to thank you on behalf of these soldiers!"

"It should be, I have no strength to restrain the chicken, and I can't go to battle to kill the enemy. I can only do my best to make these heroes suffer less."

After leaving the hospital, Shao Piaoping left in a hurry. He immediately prepared to write an article. First, he wanted to report on the heroes who regained the Middle East Road, and second, he wanted to call on doctors from all over the country to go north to treat these heroes.

With such a large sum of help, there was a huge shock soon. More and more Chinese people knew that the Middle East Road was back in their hands. The Fengjun defeated the mighty Russians and safeguarded the sovereignty of the country. Especially those young students, they all fell into madness.

Immediately, some people organized demonstrations to support Fengjun's actions, demanding that the Beiyang government regain the right of way as soon as possible.There were also some students who saw the reports about those soldiers, and they were extremely excited. The image of Feng Jun instantly became taller. Some students simply packed their bags and headed northward, preparing to participate in the action of defending the Middle East Road.

Many people also stood up to donate urgently needed medicines. Several famous doctors from Beijing and Tianjin took the initiative to form a medical team and rushed to Harbin together. Suddenly, the Middle East Road became the most concerned issue of the Chinese people. Everyone urgently cared about it. A railway soaked in the blood and tears of the Chinese people, wanting to know the final ownership of the railway.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan had already led the army to Suifenhe. Just after Fengjun stabilized Harbin, the Russian side sent an alarm. The Russian army in the Far East, a total of more than 1 people, set off from Vladivostok and other places to prepare Attack Suifenhe, then seize control of the Middle East Road.

In addition, there is a partial division of the Russian army, starting from Chita and other places, trying to attack Manchuria. When there is a problem on the Middle East Road, the Russians are ready to dispatch troops as soon as possible. However, due to the chaotic domestic situation, the time for dispatching troops has been seriously delayed. , so it can only be delayed until now, Fengjun has stabilized the situation of the railway, and they dispatched slowly.

But since the Russian army invaded, Feng Jun must not be polite. Zhang Tinglan temporarily handed over the matter at hand to Yang Yuting, and then led the main force of the road guard army to rush over to Suifenhe.

When deploying troops now, the value of the Middle East Road is reflected. The Middle East Road is a standard-gauge railway with a strong transportation capacity. A train can carry more than 1000 people. After adding carriages, it can pull a regiment of people at a time. This efficiency is far from what those carriages can compare.

Sitting on the train, Sun Anhu said with a smile: "Commander-in-Chief, this train is just fine. A road of hundreds of kilometers used to take half a month on two legs, and I was so exhausted. Now it takes a day or two. , they arrived, and the soldiers were not tired, and when they arrived, they could immediately go into battle."

"That's right!" Jiang Dengxuan also said with a smile: "Not only can people be transported, but heavy artillery weapons can also be transported. How difficult it was to transport heavy artillery in the past, and they had to be disassembled, divided into a bunch of parts, and transported by horse-drawn carriage. Now put them into the carriage , there is no need to worry about anything, our heavy artillery regiment can move quickly, we must let the Russians have a good taste of our power!"

"Well, that's true. Once we fully control the Middle East Road, we will overhaul the railway. We have the Jingfeng Railway and the Middle East Road. We only need the section from Changchun to Fengtian. Now we have to go to the Japanese Manchurian Railway is controlled, sooner or later we will use our own railway to connect the two places, so that the overall situation in Northeast China will come alive!"

Chapter 3 Fifteen

The Middle East Road is regarded by the Russians as an important passage leading to the ice-free port. During the planning and construction, a lot of effort was spent, and the design transportation capacity is also very strong. However, after the Russo-Japanese War, the southern route is the most densely populated and the economy is the most developed. Part of it has reached the Japanese, so the capacity of the Middle East Road has been seriously affected.

Coupled with the poor management and serious corruption in Russia, the role of the Middle East Road traffic artery has not been fully utilized. Currently, there are only eight pairs of trains leaving Harbin every day. As for the number of trains to Suifenhe and Manzhouli, there are even fewer. Moreover, most of these trains transport Si cargo.

Now that Louis is in the Middle East, the relationship between China and Russia is tense, the black market trade has almost come to a standstill, and the transportation in the Middle East has been severely weakened.However, after Zhang Tinglan took over the Middle East Road, he formulated a new management charter and transferred personnel from the management of Jingfeng Railway to quickly take over the Middle East Road.

Zhang Tinglan has already issued an order to carry out comprehensive repairs and maintenance on the Middle East Road, spare no expense, and rapidly increase the transportation capacity of the railway.Of course, this is not just Zhang Tinglan's wishful thinking. The main reason is that the Middle East Road connects Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, and the potential transportation demand is huge.

Especially as a large number of immigrants enter the Northeast, this railway is even more important. The cattle, sheep and minerals in Eastern Mongolia and other places need to be transported to the inland, and the industrial grains in the inland also need to be transported to the border areas. The number of trains that need to run needs to be greatly increased.

It is conservatively estimated that there will be more than [-] pairs of trains running from Harbin every day, which is more than doubled than before. According to Zhang Tinglan's idea, this number should be doubled again to meet the actual needs. The lack of enough locomotives and no more carriages is already the limit, and any more will exceed the capacity.

The next big explosion of transportation capacity on the Middle East Road will depend on the Harbin General Factory. Zhang Tinglan has already ordered the general factory to be renamed the Harbin Railway Rolling Stock Corporation, and Kuang Jingyang has been appointed as the general manager. Climbing to a higher level is actually not just the Middle East Road. At that time, the three eastern provinces will also have their own money to build railways and manage and operate railways.

Anshan Iron and Steel Works produces rails, and then can produce locomotives. When the two are combined, the great powers can get out, and there is no need for them to insert railways.

"In the past, the Russians regarded the Middle East Road as an appendage of their Trans-Siberian Railway, but when this railway came to our country, it became the lifeline of transportation connecting the two provinces of Jihei. The positioning is different, and the development effect is also different. The Middle East The road is bound to shine in our world."
