Fengxian Jiangshan

Therefore, those princes of the Eight Banners who committed minor crimes and paid money more happily, all received the money and were released. Only a small number of diehards remained, and they would continue to be squeezed. In addition, all the people in the Forbidden City were dismissed. Everyone gave Dayang 20 yuan and allowed them to bring some of their own clothes, and then they were all dismissed smoothly.

In addition, guys like Eunuch Liu who have committed crimes on their backs must be carefully interrogated to recover all their property.In the end, Concubine Jin and a dozen people, together with the little emperor Pu Yi and a hundred thousand oceans, walked out of the Forbidden City step by step.

The soldiers and reporters witnessed the last emperor leaving sadly, and all gave out heartfelt cheers. The last garbage of the old era was finally swept out. The Forbidden City is no longer exclusive to the royal family, but has become a The Palace Museum is accessible to all citizens.

Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Xueliang entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and found out the emperor's dragon robe. Anyone can wear it, and then sit on the dragon chair to feel the incomparable imperial power of the past.Most of Fengjun's soldiers were from poor families. This entry was an eye-opener, and now they can wear dragon robes again and enjoy the emperor's addiction. They are so happy.

The majestic and sacred Hall of Supreme Harmony was full of laughter, everyone was unscrupulous, and the reporters were also taking pictures frequently, preparing to choose the one who laughed the most and publish it on the newspaper. After all, an era is over like this.

The expulsion of Puyi raised the prestige of Fengjun to a new level. All major newspapers are talking about this matter, and they also praised Zhang Tinglan, praising Fengjun as a real new-style army, which is the same as the old feudal army. The era is completely cut, and Zhang Tinglan is a young general and an idol of the era.

The newspapers are lively and lively, and the biggest benefit is that the number of young students who followed Feng Jun to go outside the customs has increased sharply, with a total of more than 1000. This is not the era when college students in later generations travel everywhere. Nowadays, only a handful of people who can read and write are rare. Moreover, many of these more than 1000 people are still very valuable college students, and there may be a lot of talents among them.

Arranging these students to go north, Zhang Tinglan reported the situation of the Forbidden City to Lao Duan at the same time, and asked Duan Qirui to send someone to manage the Forbidden City.

In fact, the old Duan was both happy and somewhat dissatisfied with Fengjun's expulsion of Puyi. He was happy that Puyi was driven away, and Beiyang could save a huge sum of 400 million yuan every year. In his eyes, the expulsion of Puyi was such a big event that he was not notified in advance at all.

Fortunately, these annoying Fengjun were finally leaving, and Lao Duan was really a little scared, wondering what tricks these beards would come up with again.

When handing over the Forbidden City, Zhang Tinglan had already ordered his subordinates to take away all the main gold, silver and jewelry, and some valuable cultural relics. It's still not safe to leave things to Beiyang, and maybe they will face the danger of theft afterward.

A simple estimate shows that the funds and treasures taken from the Forbidden City are worth more than 200 million. As for the cultural relics, there is no way to measure them, they are all priceless treasures.In addition, about 300 million yuan was knocked out from those eunuchs, and these eunuchs also stole a lot of palace treasures, all of which were chased back by Feng Jun and fell into their own pockets.

After everything was almost settled, Zhang Tinglan took his subordinates and left the capital with a generous income.Of course, there was one more person to deal with, and that was the famous Kang Youwei. Ever since he was blackmailed, this Kang Sheng had been extremely decadent, crying and laughing at times, as if he was crazy.

"Zhuoyan, if you want me to say it, I will shoot Kang Youwei directly. Anyway, this guy has low character and dirty behavior, and he is also one of the culprits of the restoration. It is a waste of food to keep people like him alive. Why bother to return him?" Give it to Liang Qichao, save a dog's life?"

"I also want to shoot him, not only Kang Youwei, but also Zhang Xun, the old bureaucrats who were restored together, and the army that harmed the people in Beiyang. These are the dregs of the old era. If they are not cleaned up, this The country cannot be reborn."

Zhang Tinglan sighed: "At the end of the day, we are still weak. We cannot completely declare war on the old era. We can only get as much wealth as possible. However, after we have this money, give us another five years, and Fengtian will be able to turn the world upside down." After ten years, we dare to challenge the big powers.”

"People often say that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, so let's work hard for ten years to make Fengjun stronger." Zhang Xueliang said: "Zhuoyan, can you help me and tell my father that I am going to manage the air force."

"Hanqing, Fengjun's air force has not been formally established yet, and flying is very dangerous, so you better not get involved!"

"Zhuoyan, you don't know, that day when I saw He Shilong and the others flying in the air, I was extremely envious at that time. Maybe this is fate. I have been thinking about this for the past few days. I am sure enough to manage the air force. good."

Seeing his firm attitude, Zhang Tinglan smiled and said, "It's rare that the young commander has such an idea, I will definitely help!"

After leaving Beijing, Zhang Tinglan and the others did not rush back to Fengtian, but went to Tianjin first. The first thing Zhang Tinglan wanted to see was the Dagu Shipyard. According to the agreement with Lao Duan, this shipyard also belonged to Fengjun, and is now preparing to Moving out of the customs.

However, relocating a shipyard is not a trivial matter. Fengtian has set aside a section of coastline in Jinxi City for the shipyard to use. The so-called Jinxi City is the Huludao of later generations, and it is also the best condition for the development of the shipbuilding industry in the Northeast. It is one of the best areas. Historically, Fengjun's sea power also used this as its base camp.

In the three northeastern provinces, the best conditions for the development of shipbuilding industry and naval power are in Lushun and Dalian, but it is a pity that Lushun is still controlled by the Japanese, and Fengjun has no way to get involved. This is also Zhang Tinglan's heart disease. As long as the Dagu Shipyard is in control, the horn of Fengjun's development of sea power will be blown. Sooner or later, the Japanese will be driven out from the three eastern provinces. The Nanman Railway and Luda Port are all things that Fengjun must get!

On the way to Dagu, Zhang Tinglan's thoughts kept diverging, but after arriving at the Dagu factory, Zhang Tinglan was a little disappointed. The whole Dagu factory did not have the prosperity that the shipyard should have. Extremely depressed.

The factory area is dilapidated, with weeds everywhere, and the machines can be seen from a distance are rusty and lifeless.After arriving in front of the factory, there were only a hundred or so people waiting here. The leader was a man in his 40s, who was Wu Yulin, the director of the shipbuilding institute.

He once studied in Germany and is proficient in shipbuilding and mechanical maintenance. He is a rare naval talent. One can imagine the hardships involved in advertising, undertaking various projects, earning money by oneself, and maintaining the operation of the factory.

Only a few days ago, Wu Yulin learned that the Dagu Shipbuilding Plant had been transferred to Fengjun and became Fengtian's property.

Hearing that Fengjun was going to send someone to inspect, Wu Yulin could only bring his workers to greet him early.Zhang Tinglan also noticed these so-called workers. They were all in ragged clothes, and some of them were wearing thick ragged cotton clothes. They couldn't tell the color at all, like beggars and refugees.

"Everyone, it's the first time we meet, and you will be under the command of Fengjun in the future. There is nothing to serve as a gift. Starting today, each worker's salary will be doubled, and each worker will be given a ten-dollar bonus!" RS! .

Chapter 369

Wu Yulin imagined many ways to meet each other, but he never expected that Zhang Tinglan would give everyone a wage increase and a bonus as soon as they met. This was simply too unexpected. It took a while for all the workers present to understand what Zhang Tinglan said. , the bosses opened their mouths one by one, not knowing what to say.

"Everyone, don't you think that the wages are low?" Zhang Tinglan said with a playful smile: "I can tell everyone that as long as you do a good job, the wages and bonuses will increase exponentially. A university professor can get three to four hundred a month." It's a big ocean, the senior technicians among you can completely surpass the university professors, of course, if you want to get such a high income, you must first prove that you are worth the money!"

Relying on money to motivate may sound like a very vulgar thing, but for these ordinary workers, there is nothing more real than money. There are old and young in the family, and the shipyard has been operating poorly in recent years. Arrears of wages are already commonplace. How many people haven't bought new clothes for several years, and haven't eaten any meat for several months. At this time, a large bonus suddenly fell on their heads.

And well done, there will be a substantial increase in the future. These workers are almost crazy, and everyone cheers instantly, with joy from the bottom of their hearts.

The same is true for Wu Yulin. Originally, he was still worried about the future of the shipbuilding institute. Now that he saw Feng Jun's generous actions, he immediately put his heart into his stomach. The wages are not bad, and the funds are not bad. He is the director You don't have to live on your fingers anymore.

"Director Wu, give everyone a bonus first, and then give the family a half-day vacation to make the family more comfortable, and then you can accompany me to look at the factory. Since Fengjun has taken over the factory, we can no longer live half-dead!"

"Everything is under your arrangement, I'll do it now!"

The bonus was distributed quickly. These workers were all smiling and went home together. Everyone was thinking about buying a pair of shoes for the child, a new dress for the wife, and a few catties of meat. Generous boss, there is hope for the days to come.

Almost all the workers had left. Wu Yulin accompanied Zhang Tinglan and walked around the factory. As he walked, Wu Yulin introduced: "When the Beiyang Navy was first established, it purchased a large number of warships from Britain and Germany. In order to facilitate the maintenance of these warships, Li Hongzhang Prepared to build the Dagu factory. Selected an area of ​​110 mu as the dock site. At first, there were only eight active machine rooms, one motor, one boiler, and one steam hammer. The factory equipment was very simple. Later, [-] machine tools, power machines, and water pumps were purchased from foreign countries. , one horizontal boiler each, and began to build turbine workshops, power rooms,

There are six docks and more than 600 workers. "

Wu Yulin briefly introduced the history of the Dagu Factory to Zhang Tinglan. The Dagu Factory can be regarded as the earliest shipbuilding enterprise in northern China. Production of small caliber fast guns.

This is already quite rare in Chinese factories. Later, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the Russians looted the factory, lost a lot of machinery and equipment, and most of the workers lost their jobs. Speaking of this, Wu Yulin was also very sad and indignant.

"During the construction of the Dagu factory, it was no worse than the Japanese shipyards of the same period. What hindered the development of the factory was the problem of funds. If it could not get enough funds, it would not be able to produce enough products. As a result, after the Sino-Japanese War, Beiyang water The entire division was annihilated, and the Dagu factory became a dispensable chicken rib, and then it was destroyed by the Russians. If there were no such misfortunes, maybe the Dagu factory could produce more than a thousand tons, or even thousands of tons. Tons of warships, China will not have no defense at sea, let others bully!"

Speaking of this, Wu Yulin was also very sad and indignant, and Zhang Tinglan was also aware of the difficulties involved. Looking at the vicissitudes of the factory, he felt very uncomfortable.

"Reminiscing about the past is what literati like to do. Those who really do practical things must base themselves on the present and keep chasing after them. Without machines, we will find ways to buy them. Without talents, we will search and train them. Sooner or later, the Dagu Shipyard will surpass the Japanese. The shipyard produces giant warships to defend China's waters."

"You are the leader of our boss. If you have confidence, we have confidence. The Dagu factory can be moved to Fengtian, which is a new life of the factory, and it will definitely achieve results."

"Well, funds, technology, talents, machines, all of these will find ways to help you solve them as much as possible. There will be at least 50 investment per year, and more will be added in the future."

During the Qing Dynasty, the annual expenditure of the Dagu factory was only about 5 taels, and Zhang Tinglan increased it tenfold, which made Wu Yulin particularly excited.

"General Zhang, there used to be many craftsmen in the Dagu factory. Because they had no jobs, they all changed jobs. Now that the factory is going to be relocated, I suggest that these people be recruited back, and then recruit more shipbuilding talents, so as to put them into production quickly!"

When Zhang Tinglan heard this suggestion, she immediately nodded and agreed: "This idea is very good. A factory worker is the most important thing. Machines can be purchased, but experienced workers can only be trained step by step. Everyone tries to recruit them back. Their moving expenses I will pay for everything, and I will allocate 1 yuan to you first, and complete the relocation as quickly as possible!"

It is easier to do things if you have money. Tianjin is also the first door to open in China. It has brought together talents from all walks of life.

In addition, Wu Yulin hired a few western technicians. The level of these people is not very high. After all, those who are really capable are not willing to take risks in China, but with their ability, it is still possible to produce ordinary cargo ships.
