Fengxian Jiangshan

"Well, to be specific."

"Of order." Shen Hua cleared his throat, put on a posture of a storyteller, and said with a smile: "Most of the things that the Japanese can sell here are small gadgets, as well as rickshaws, silk muslin and so on. As for other cars, cameras, kerosene, etc., they are all sold by Western powers. Our workshops can produce those gadgets, and the quality is not inferior to that of the Japanese. Buy Japanese stuff."

"As for the Japanese silk and fine cloth, which look gaudy and beautiful, but are not strong at all, they are much worse than our cloth quality. They are sold well because their prices are low. But now I heard that their prices are not good either. If you don’t mention it, the common people will naturally not want to buy it.”

"Aren't they poor quality, why dare to raise the price?"

"I inquired, and they have nothing to do. Our freight company is boycotting them. All the carriages are used to transport Chinese goods. Even if some are allocated to the Japanese, the price has increased several times. The transportation cost has risen, and the price is natural. You need to improve. Commander-in-Chief, your move is too clever, I think if this continues, the Japanese industry in the three northeastern provinces will collapse."

Zhang Tinglan shook her head with a smile: "This can indeed hit the Japanese, but it won't kill them. We should add fuel to the fire and let the Japanese enjoy it."

While talking, the Japanese Consul General Akajiri Masasuke found Zhang Tinglan with a dark face. When he met him, his face was completely ashen. He tried his best to suppress his anger and said to Zhang Tinglan: "The imperial government has important interests in the three eastern provinces, but In the recent period, you have been deliberately sabotaged by Fengtian. You have used administrative means to interfere with normal economic and trade, and spread the idea of ​​confronting the empire everywhere. Regardless of the friendship between the two parties, the imperial government is very dissatisfied. You must change this wrong practice. .”

Zhang Tinglan snorted coldly: "Chijiri is helping the Consul General. Is there still friendship between Fengjun and the Japanese? Don't you know what you have done? Why do you still have the face to criticize Fengjun? Are you Are you telling me what shamelessness is?"

Zhang Tinglan's words didn't show mercy to the Japanese at all, and directly exposed their hypocrisy. Akajiri Masasuke's expression also kept changing, which was very ugly.

However, this guy's skin was so thick that he continued to say: "Zhang Sang, I don't understand what you said at all. The imperial government has always attached great importance to the relationship with Fengjun. As for some rumors and rumors, they are completely groundless accusations, especially Zhang Sang. You also said some inappropriate things, I think this is very bad, everything must pay attention to evidence, you can’t frame the imperial government, this is a very dangerous malicious act.”

"You can rest assured that the evidence in our hands is rapidly increasing. Daisaku Kawamoto knows more than you can imagine. There are many things in it that you will be very interested in." Zhang Tinglan said with a sneer, and Akajiri Masasuke's heart is After a while, Jinsuo was caught alive by Feng Jun. This is the last thing the Japanese want to mention. His face was solemn, and he said for a long time: "There are some misunderstandings, we can talk slowly, but you must stop encroaching on the empire's economy. Interests, re-sell food and supplies to the empire, otherwise the Japanese government will take decisive measures to sanction you."

"We are cautious in making any decision, and we will never back down just because of your words. Fengjun is not the Qing government, and no one can force Fengjun to do anything!"

Chijirizhengsuke saw Zhang Tinglan's resolute attitude, and he also knew that this kind of innocuous threat was useless at all, so he also smiled ferociously: "Zhang Sang, don't think that the empire has no way to take Fengtian, the empire has There are too many methods, as long as you take out a little, it is enough to kill the three provinces in the Northeast!"

Facing his threat, Zhang Tinglan smiled contemptuously: "Please do it!"

Akajiri returned to the Consulate General with help, and immediately reported the situation to the Japanese government. The Japanese government also found that the international environment was not good for Japan and could not rashly start a war.Fengjun can play economic means, and the Japanese can also play. Akajiri Masasuke immediately made arrangements.

"Zhuoyan, the Japanese are not weak in imitation, just look at their methods."

Zhang Tinglan took the proclamation from Yang Yuting, and after a few glances, he knew the situation. The Japanese announced that the South-Manchuria Railway would be overhauled and all freight transportation would be stopped. At the same time, Dalian Port was also closed.

"Humble words, the South-Manchuria Railway and Dalian Port are the gateways and arteries of the Northeast's external relations. Now that the Japanese have cut them off, our economy will also be in trouble. If you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred!"

"Linge, if I'm not ready, I wouldn't dare to act rashly. I won't do things that hurt both sides."

A thought flashed through Yang Yuting's mind, and he hurriedly asked, "Zhuoyan, is the Jifeng Railway going to be open to traffic?"

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Ningge, Mr. Da Chao is here, just to talk to me about the progress of the railway, now invite him to tell us about the situation." rs! .

Chapter 461 I'm Not Here

"Mr. Da Chao, you have worked hard during this time."

Zhang Tinglan's words were definitely not out of politeness, but out of feeling. Zhan Tianyou was much older than a year ago, and there were already gray hairs on his sideburns. Covered with wind and frost.

According to the original memory, Zhan Tianyou had already passed away with full of regrets at this time. However, although Zhan Tianyou was aging at this time, his mental state was still very good.After meeting, he smiled and said, "Zhuoyan, the Jifeng Railway has been repaired faster than expected. Give me another month, and the entire line will be almost complete!"

a month?Hearing the news, Zhang Tinglan immediately became happy.Breaking the constraints of the South-Manchuria Railway and using our own railway to connect the three eastern provinces is not only an economic issue, but also a need for national defense and security. Now that the fruits have finally been reaped, how can we not be unhappy.

Yang Yuting was even more so, and said with a smile: "With the Jifeng Railway, you don't have to be controlled by others. In fact, from the assassination of the commander-in-chief, we should have seen how dangerous it is to let the Japanese manage the railway and garrison troops around the railway." The thing is that the Japanese have put their lives in the hands of the Japanese. Now that we have our own railway, our safety can be guaranteed, and military transfers can be made more convenient, which is really a great joy!"

Zhan Tianyou also said with a smile: "Ji-Feng Railway has a total length of 420 and three kilometers. It took less than two years from planning to completion of construction. This is a miracle in the whole country. This is inseparable from Fengjun's sufficient The financial resources, strong mobilization ability, and industrial production level. From sleepers to rails, from locomotives to carriages, every screw is produced by ourselves. I have already gone to Harbin, and the rail vehicle company that Kuang Jingyang is in charge of has produced steam The performance of the locomotive is comparable to similar foreign products. It has always been Zhan’s dream to run his own train on his own railway. He never thought that at this age, he finally saw it, and he was so happy that he couldn’t express it!”

Zhan Tianyou's eye circles were already red during the conversation, and he said with a choked voice: "From the beginning of the construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, I have been looking forward to building a preliminary railway network for China in my lifetime. By then, China will be completely connected. The national strength has doubled, and I no longer have to fear the invasion of the great powers. I can also smile at Jiuquan. How could I have imagined that after the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was completed, it has been wasted. It took a full ten years to change from the Manchu Dynasty to the Republic of China, and the industry did not improve much. .There is no progress in the construction of the railway, and the lifeline of the country is well controlled. It is in the hands of the big powers. My heart aches!"

For most scientific researchers and engineers, the age of 50 is the peak of experience and physical strength, and it is also the time when it is easiest to achieve results.From 1905 to 1909, Zhan Tianyou spent four years building the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, which was the first railway completely independently designed and constructed by the Chinese.After the railway was built.Zhan Tianyou had also reached the peak of his life's prestige, and just as he was gearing up for a big fight, he ushered in a long silence.

Until he was invited to Fengtian.Zhan Tianyou was in charge of the construction of the Jifeng Railway again. At this time, he was already 58 years old, and he was very old. Zhan Tianyou was already very relieved to be able to complete the Jifeng Railway.

"Humble words, it took four years to build the [-] kilometers of roads in Beijing and less than two years to build the Jifeng Railway for [-] kilometers. In addition to the strong strength of Fengtian industry, I also adopted many new methods , especially when building railways, a set of strict construction specifications was established. With this set of specifications, there will be rules to follow when building railways in the future.”

Any industry needs regulations, especially railway construction, which must be completely consistent in all regions, so that the railway network can be connected smoothly, and it is also conducive to maintenance and safety.With the norms in place, it became much easier to do anything else. Zhan Tianyou not only built a railway, but overcame obstacles and opened up the road for future generations.

Zhang Tinglan knew the value of it very well, so she couldn't help bowing deeply, and then said: "Thank you, Mr. Da Chao, the great development of the railway industry in the three eastern provinces in the future will be due to Mr.'s credit."

Zhan Tianyou quickly waved his hand: "I just did a little bit of duty. If you don't go to the Northeast, you don't know the wealth of the Northeast. If you don't go to the Northeast, you don't know the dangers of the Northeast. Enterprising, serving the army to defend the country, I am also full of hope for the three eastern provinces. Over the past year, I have invited many former friends and students to serve in the three eastern provinces. Efforts have been made to train a group of young engineers. Even if Zhan can't repair the railway, they have learned all their skills and can continue to work."

The Ji-Feng Railway has been regarded by Zhan Tianyou as the final work of his life. When building the road, he has consciously handed over key tasks to young people, vigorously cultivated various talents, and left a complete set for Feng Jun. Railway design and construction talents.

Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting were very moved by this painstaking effort, and they were full of gratitude to the old man. Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Dachao, the Japanese just threatened me to cut off the South Manchuria Railway, close Dalian Port, and deport us to the outside world." The road to contact was cut off, and you sent me such good news, I really want to thank you!"

When Zhan Tianyou heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Commander-in-Chief, the Japanese took the initiative to cut off the South Manchuria Railway. They are trying to kill themselves. The most important thing about railway transportation is reliability. If they close it at will, it is equivalent to smashing their own brand. Whoever dares to use the Japanese railway has already won before our Jifeng Railway is opened to traffic."

"That's right, they killed the commander-in-chief on the railway line, and now they have cut off the railway. How can all businessmen have confidence in Japan's railways. In the past, they had no railways of their own and had to rely on them, but the situation has changed now. , simply let the Japanese railway become a dead end, and no one will walk on it!" Yang Yuting said with a smile.

Zhang Tinglan also agrees with this proposal very much. The South-Manchuria Railway can bring 5000 million income to the Japanese every year. It can be said to be a golden road. Incalculable economic and military value.

If you want to use the South Manchuria Railway directly, you are declaring war with Japan. There is no doubt that Fengjun does not have this strength yet.However, it is possible to reduce the transport capacity of the Nanman Railway through a roundabout way, thereby reducing profits.

Railway maintenance is a lot of money. If it reaches the point where it can't make ends meet, let's see how the Japanese can maintain it. This is like stabbing people with soft knives, which can also cause heavy losses to the Japanese, and the pain will go deep into the marrow!

"Mr. Dachao, Jifeng Railway has a lot to do with it, and it all depends on you."

"Don't worry about Zhuoyan, Zhan will complete it satisfactorily." Zhan Tianyou said, took out another document from his purse, and handed it to Zhang Tinglan.

"Humble words, these are several railways I planned, including the railway lines from Fengtian to Fengcheng, Jilin to Harbin, Fengtian to Chengde, etc., and there are also several railways connecting Dongmeng with Taonan as the center. If it can be completed, it will not only connect the railways in Northeast China into a network, but also connect Mongolia. With the connection of railways, the regional economy will be integrated. If there is an opportunity, Outer Mongolia will also be included. The whole northern Xinjiang will be safe."

An excellent railway designer must not only understand economics, but also understand strategy.It is obvious that Zhan Tianyou is an excellent railway talent, and he has already paid attention to the problems of Outer Mongolia.

It can be said that this is also a sore spot in the hearts of Chinese people of later generations. With the loss of Outer Mongolia, China's strategic space has been greatly suppressed, and the security situation in the north has been unprecedentedly severe.

But if you want to change this history, you can’t solve it with a passion, you must have supporting projects. Russia relies on the Siberian Railway to transport troops to Outer Mongolia. Compared with China, it is much more convenient.If China wants to fight, it has to build more dense railways and throw economic and military power into Outer Mongolia.

With a big stick in one hand, teach those treasonous princes a lesson, and with a carrot in one hand, win over the bottom farmers and herdsmen.Only in this way can Outer Mongolia be completely brought back, otherwise it is just a fantasy.

Zhan Tianyou sent this plan to Zhang Tinglan, in fact, it was his earnest hope that Fengjun could take on the mission of defending the country and guarding northern Xinjiang.

"Mr. Dacháo, don't worry, I will implement this plan as soon as possible. In the future, not only the northeast will be covered with railways, but the whole of China will be covered with railways, so that every province and city will be closely connected!"

After chatting with Zhan Tianyou for a while, Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting were particularly excited. The three eastern provinces have invested heavily in construction, and now they are beginning to bear fruit, and they are also full of hope.

At this time, Chang Yinhuai also came to Zhang Tinglan's office, and she couldn't hide her joy when she saw Chang Yinhuai.

"Zhuoyan, there is good news again. The first batch of goods and personnel transported by Xia Han and his procurement team have arrived in Huludao."

When Zhang Tinglan heard the news, he suddenly stood up. He had high hopes for Germany's bottom-buying this time. This was a rare opportunity for Fengjun to catch up with Japan technically.If the expected goals can be achieved, within three to five years, Fengjun will not have to be afraid of the Japanese at least in terms of the army.If it cannot be realized, I am afraid that it will be postponed for ten years, and there will be no such opportunity until the Great Depression.

After all, some industrial technologies and key equipment are the housekeeping skills of Western countries, and no matter how much money they have, they cannot buy them.Especially when Fengjun had just experienced turmoil and was in urgent need of recovery, Zhang Tinglan was overjoyed to be able to transport the machinery and equipment back.

"Zhuoyan, this is called Wu Ji Tai Lai, a rebellion brought Feng Jun to a low point, and now it's time to climb up quickly!"

"Ningge, let's go to Huludao right away to see what treasures there are."

Zhang Tinglan rushed to Huludao secretly, and it was Kuang Rongguang who came back with the boat. Although the old man had been wandering at sea for a long time, he was very energetic. After meeting him, he grabbed Zhang Tinglan's hand and said with a smile: "Zhuoyan, I This time, we transported back the equipment of two iron and steel factories, with a total production capacity of 50 tons. As long as we build, our strength will more than double in one fell swoop!
