Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhan Tianyou also knew Zhang Tinglan's identity and status from Kuang Rongguang a long time ago. This young man can be said to have a lot of promises in the Fengjun, especially for things like railway construction. Zhang Tinglan's attitude is the attitude of Fengjun. Zhang Tinglan His will is the will of Fengjun.Zhan Tianyou has been working for the railway for many years. The word he feels most is difficulty. The resistance from all sides, especially from the big powers, without the support of a powerful government, the railway can never be built. The Fengtian government can Paying so much attention to road construction also gave Zhan Tianyou the hope of building a railway.

"Zhuoyan, does Fengtian have any specific plans for road construction?"

"Yes, I plan to build a main line on the east and west sides of the South Manchuria Railway, basically parallel to the South Manchuria Railway. The east main line connects Jilin and Fengtian provinces, and the west line connects Fengtian and Heilongjiang provinces. In this way, combined with the Middle East Road, Fengtian will be It can break the restrictions of the Japanese and have its own railway network."

When Zhan Tianyou heard Zhang Tinglan's words, his eyes widened immediately. To build two main railway lines is a grand plan. It is also a blessing for the country that Fengjun has such courage.Zhan Tianyou's mind turned quickly, and the map of the three eastern provinces flashed in his mind. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "Zhuoyan, I estimated that the eastern route will start from Fengtian, pass through Hailong, and go all the way. To Jilin, and then extended outward, can connect Changchun and Hulan and other places, and can also include Heilongjiang. The west line passes through Tongliao, Taonan, Baichengzi, and reaches Qiqihar, where Fengtian and Heilongjiang are connected. This is just Rough planning and specific routes need to be inspected on the spot before being finalized.”

Zhan Tianyou is worthy of being an expert in railway repair, and he roughly determined the route at once, which was similar to Zhang Tinglan's estimate.Zhang Tinglan became more confident about Zhan Tianyou's ability.

"Mr. Zhan, building the railway is a waste of money. Feng Jun's financial resources may still be a little difficult, so I plan to build the east line first, and then start the west line."

"Well, this is also a safe way. The terrain in the northeast is flat, and it is not difficult to build a railway. From Jilin to Fengtian. The east line is about 500 kilometers. I estimate that all the funds will cost at least [-] million. It is indeed not a small sum. The number!"

"Old classmate, you count too much!" Kuang Rongguang laughed at the side: "Fengtian builds the railway. There is no need to spend so much money, everything needed for road construction. Fengtian can produce it by itself. Even if it can't be produced now, it is very easy. It can be produced soon, and there is almost nothing to import. And judging from the conflict between the Fengjun and the Japanese this time, the mobilization ability of the Fengjun is also super strong, and it can organize a large number of migrant workers. The two add up. I guess there is 300 million can take this railway down!"

Kuang Rongguang's words completely surprised Zhan Tianyou. Being able to produce everything by himself is bound to be difficult for the whole of China.When did the little Fengtian, the bitter cold place outside the pass, have such industrial strength?To my ears, it was like a fairy tale, but Zhan Tianyou also knew that Kuang Rongguang would not lie, did Fengtian's strength really reach this level?

Seeing Zhan Tianyou's doubts, Zhang Tinglan took the initiative to explain to him: "Mr. Zhan, Fengjun is building the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant. If it is put into operation, it will be able to produce at least [-] tons of steel per day, and the production capacity still has great potential. The factory also has a supporting rail workshop, which can produce rails by itself. After regaining the Middle East Road, the Harbin General Factory has fallen into our control. Now it has been renamed Harbin Railway Rolling Stock Company. Locomotives and then the carriages. Fengtian can also easily handle the rest of the materials such as cement and building materials."

Zhan Tianyou listened to Zhang Tinglan's introduction very attentively. As he said, he nodded in praise. All the difficulties in China's railway construction are largely due to the fact that the industry is almost blank, and everything depends on the big powers. How can we not let people get stuck? neck!Now Fengjun can not only produce steel and rails, but even locomotives, why isn't Zhan Tianyou excited?

"Humble words, after producing the required things by ourselves, I don't know that the cost can be greatly reduced, and we can repair as we want, without worrying about other people's restrictions. If the supply is sufficient, I am sure that within two years, the East Main Line will be completed. Fix it!"

Zhan Tianyou is not a person who talks nonsense. He said so, which means that he has full confidence. Zhang Tinglan silently calculated in his heart, and the two years happened to be 1919.The factory equipment obtained also takes time to digest, two years is about the same, and at that time the Russian Civil War has not yet ended, Fengjun still has a chance, just use these two years to practice hard internal skills and lay a solid foundation for Fengjun, when the time comes Arms can be self-produced, and the railway network has also been formed. Whether it is facing Russia or Japan, Fengjun has enough confidence.

"Humble words, only materials are not enough to repair the railway, and sufficient funds are needed." Kuang Rongguang said: "It is calculated at 300 million, which is not a small amount of money. Can Fengjun get it? loan?"

Kuang Rongguang's words also reminded Zhan Tianyou and reminded him of one thing. At the beginning, Yuan Shikai rejected 21 partial clauses, and finally signed an abridged version of the Fourth Civil Treaty, which included restrictions on the construction of railways in South Manchuria. .Thinking of this, Zhan Tianyou also became anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Zhuoyan, can Fengtian solve the problem in terms of funds? Can the Japanese interfere?"

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly. For others, 300 million may be a lot of money, but for Zhang Tinglan, it is just a drizzle, especially after winning the Middle East Road, the seized funds alone are tens of millions, and Zhang Tinglan He also instructed Qiao Lanyun to help auction off the land along the Middle East Road. There is no doubt that it is another large sum of money, which is more than enough to build the railway.

In fact, building two main lines at the same time and borrowing them around is no problem at all, but on the one hand, we must avoid stimulating the Japanese, and on the other hand, we must train the construction team. After all, there is no skilled railway construction team in Fengtian. To a certain extent, it is for practice, to accumulate experience for the future overhaul of railways. "Mr. Zhan, Mr. Kuang, there is absolutely no problem with funds, and Fengtian does not need to borrow money. With its own financial resources, it can be completely solved!"

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "In addition, there is no need to worry about the fourth treaty of the People's Republic of China. When the Japanese signed the treaty, they never thought that Fengtian could build the railway by themselves. The railway needs the consent of the Japanese. But now the Fengjun is building the railway with its own strength, and the Japanese have no room to interfere. If the Japanese still want to make trouble for no reason, the tens of thousands of guns in the Fengjun are not vegetarians. Yes, we dare to fight the Russians, just as we are not afraid of the Japanese. Mr. Zhan, you only need to concentrate on building roads, and we will take care of all other matters, so you don’t have to worry about anything!"

Hearing this, Zhan Tianyou was completely confident. He patted his chest and said: "The Fengtian government has done everything that should be done. The following is the work of us technicians. I am willing to issue a military order. If the railway cannot be repaired, then Zhan Willing to be punished!"

Zhan Tianyou has spent his whole life building railways, but this time is the most satisfactory, so there is no need to worry about extra things.This is the benefit of having a strong government behind him. From Manchu to Beiyang, there was no such carefree feeling. Zhan Tianyou was particularly excited.

"Zhuoyan, I definitely can't rely on me alone. Now I will help you recruit talents, and then immediately inspect the line and strive for construction as soon as possible."

As the most famous railway engineer in China, Zhan Tianyou has amazing connections. Although China is very backward, such a big country always has some available talents. Zhang Tinglan is very happy that Zhan Tianyou can take the initiative to help recruit, as long as these When talents arrive in Fengtian, they don’t even think about leaving. The railways in the three eastern provinces are enough for them to work on, and after finishing the railways in the three eastern provinces, they also need to build the railways leading to the northwest and to the customs. In short, there will be countless jobs waiting for them. Woolen cloth.

"Mr. Zhan, everything depends on you!"

After sending Zhan Tianyou away, Zhang Tinglan hurried to find Wang Yongjiang. The railway needed funds, immigrants, migrant workers, and building materials. All of these could not be separated from the support of Feng Jun's pocketbook.After meeting Wang Yongjiang, Zhang Tinglan introduced the situation, and Wang Yongjiang was also very happy.

"Zhuoyan, don't worry, the railway is on my shoulders. No matter what is needed, I will fully support and ensure that the railway can be completed with quality and quantity. It is too important for Fengtian's development to have a railway network that is controlled by oneself. Yes, this is a good thing for the benefit of Sangzi, Wang is absolutely obliged."

"Mr. Tiekan, it's not enough to just build the railway. Can you allocate some funds so that we can overhaul the road?"

"Of course it needs to be fixed, but do you have any good suggestions?"

"Mr. Tiekan, a well-developed transportation network can allow the circulation of materials and economic prosperity in peacetime. In wartime, this is the guarantee for rapid deployment of troops and logistics transportation. Therefore, I suggest that all counties should have asphalt roads. , We also need to build gravel roads. Every village strives to be connected. The more connections we have, the tighter our control over the locality will be, and the more powerful we can mobilize. We must develop as soon as possible! "

Roads are the blood of a person. Only by connecting all regions can we make full use of all resources and integrate all forces. Otherwise, the country will always be divided. Wang Yongjiang understands the meaning of it very well, naturally Also agree with this proposal.

"Humble words, road construction starts from now, and invests at least 200 million yuan a year. It will be completed at the city and county level in five years, and at the village and town level in ten years. The three northeastern provinces will be completely connected!". )

Chapter 343 The world is in chaos

If you want to do a good job, it is not enough to just know how to spend money, and you have to spend every penny wisely. Although Fengjun is much richer than before, there are still too many places to spend money, 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 astonishing.

Zhang Tinglan just proposed a road construction suggestion. As for how to implement it and how to coordinate the work of all parties, it needs to be arranged by Wang Yongjiang.Wang Yongjiang is also worthy of being a good hand in internal affairs. He quickly drew up a plan. After getting Lao Zhang's approval, the three eastern provinces began to carry out large-scale construction projects.

Roads and railways need to be built, wells and canals in rural areas 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.

This is also the necessity of industrial development. If there is no ability to make troubles, the country must have no hope.In order to ensure the smooth construction of these projects, a total of more than 20 professional construction workers were invested in the three northeastern provinces, and more than 100 million people were mobilized from all over the country.

All the lumber yards and cement factories are running 24 hours a day. Now it is the end of spring plowing. The farm model has once again shown its powerful power. The labor enthusiasm of the people is unprecedentedly high. let's move.

A few neighboring farms can be regarded as a village, and all the labor forces are 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. Originally, Wang Yongjiang estimated that it would take ten years Being able to achieve results, looking at it now, it may be completed faster.

Wang Yongjiang was also shocked by the huge power hidden in the people. The Chinese people are the most industrious and kind-hearted people. As long as they can exert their power, they can have the power to change the world.

Facing this incomparable power, Wang Yongjiang is also more aware that the people's spirit can never be discouraged, and the people must not be disappointed. Therefore, Wang Yongjiang has formulated strict regulations. During the construction process, any malpractice for personal gain must be dealt with severely , no matter who is involved, absolutely must not condone rape.

Compared with Fengtian's focus 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 the governors of various provinces, Duan Qirui finally suppressed Li Yuanhong. To declare war, as long as the authorization of Congress is passed, this matter will be done.

But at this juncture, the Beijing News suddenly broke a big news, that is, Duan Qirui secretly borrowed 1 million yuan in military loans from Japan in order to declare war with Germany.

After this news broke out, the whole world was shaken, and the first to bear the brunt were two forces, one was Duan Qirui who was at the center of the storm, and the other was Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast who had just defeated Russia and was in full swing.The reason why Feng Jun was involved is very simple, that is, in order to obtain military loans from Japan, Lao Duan sold a lot of the interests of the three eastern provinces.

The gold mines and timber from Jilin and Heilongjiang, the steel from Fengtian, the power of road construction, and even financial interests were all sold to the Japanese at a low price by the old Duan. One can imagine.

In fact, there is another person who was shocked the most, that is Yang Yuting. This little Zhuge heard Zhang Tinglan's analysis not long ago, and Yang Yuting felt that it was very reasonable and reasonable.

The result was quickly fulfilled, and it is not difficult to analyze it, but it is not something ordinary people can do if it can be analyzed so accurately. Zhang Tinglan is definitely as smart as a monster, and it is almost the same as Zhuge Liang in the book. Now, at this time, Yang Yuting also had to admit that his thinking was simple, and he wanted to take part in the war to regain the sovereignty. This matter is definitely not simple.

Participating in World War I was indeed the best way for China to break out of being controlled by foreign powers, but good things must be done by good people, and the crooked monk can't read good scriptures.

Take the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty as an example, a lot of content was quite good, but in the end it only resulted in the fate of subjugation, and the same is true for Beiyang now.After the news was disclosed by the press, all the top leaders of Fengjun were shocked. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and gathered in the Tiger Hall. Even Zhang Zuoxiang, who was in Jilin, rushed over.

"Damn it, Duan Qirui sold us to the Japanese, everyone is talking about it, what should we do?"

"Marshal, according to my opinion, this matter is probably true. Duan Qirui has gone to the point of frenzy in order to obtain financial support from Japan. Fengjun absolutely cannot agree." Governor Wang Yongjiang spoke first, and Duan Qirui put The right to build roads and mines have been sold, and now Fengjun is engaged in heavy 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 in my heart? Can you not be angry.

"What the hell is Duan Qirui? We finally fought for sovereignty desperately under the pressure of the Japanese. In the end, his dignified prime minister didn't care and sold us all. Fengjun absolutely cannot admit it! "Sun Liechen also expressed his opinion.

Lao Zhang listened to the big guy's discussion, nodded his head, and said, "What the big guy said makes sense. Immediately call on Duan Qirui to ask Duan Qirui whether he has betrayed the interests of the Northeast!"

"Marshal, I think a hundred telegrams is not as effective as a single mobilization of the army. I suggest that a military exercise be held along the Beijing-Fengzhou Railway. Strong combat power!"

The Beijing-Fengyang Railway is the transportation for the Fengjun to enter Beijing. The purpose of conducting military exercises along the railway is very clear. The soldiers are pointing at the Beiyang Duan Qirui government.

When it comes to external affairs, silence often speaks louder than words, and no matter how fierce the protests are, it will have no effect, and they may even show their guilty conscience.But to mobilize the army and speak with silent steel, the effect will only be more astonishing.

Beijing and Fengtian are so close, and Fengjun is conducting a lot of exercises, so I let Lao Duan think about it by himself.Zhang Zuolin was also full of anger, and conducting military exercises was more exciting and deterrent than electrification. Old Zhang thought about it, and immediately agreed.

Not only agreed, Lao Zhang also sent an invitation to Duan Qirui, and the Beiyang government can also send people to watch the ceremony and have a look at Fengtian's mighty teacher.

The news that Fengjun was going to conduct a large-scale military exercise spread, and now it poured another barrel of oil into the lively dispute between the government and court. Various theories emerged one after another. Some said that Marshal Zhang was dissatisfied with Prime Minister Duan and wanted to lead troops into Beijing Duan Qirui was driven away, and some people said that Li Yuanhong had handed over the order of rebellion to Zhang Zuolin, and when Feng Jun arrived, he would take Duan Qirui together.

The person who made this statement probably read too much The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and regarded this incident as a belt edict, but the more unreliable news this is, the more market it has, and the public opinion was uproarious for a while, and everyone There is a lot of discussion, and constant speculation about various situations that may happen.

Duan Qirui's head also suddenly became big. It is true that he signed a secret loan agreement with the Japanese, and not only betrayed the interests of the three eastern provinces, but also betrayed a lot of other interests.The old Duan didn't think that he had done something wrong. The government was in trouble, so he needed money. If he didn't betray the country, where would he get the money?

But Lao Duan also knew that once this kind of thing was revealed, it would be difficult to deal with it.Not long ago, he swore in the Congress that there was absolutely no secret loan between China and Japan, but in the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face. Those congressmen were so angry that they asked Premier Duan to question him again.
