Beiyang reactionaries

Yang Xingfo came to Zhou Ren's bedroom excitedly.After Zhou Ren and Yang Xingfo inspected the blast furnace equipment in Japan, the equipment has been loaded on the ship.The first few batches have already set off, and the boat made by Yang Xingfo and Zhou Ren is the boat loaded with the last batch of machines.

During this period of time, Zhou Ren was really tired.

Zhou Ren is very careful.

I checked all these devices well, so I basically didn't sleep much these days.Immediately after the boat ride, I was tired and lay down.But after lying down for half an hour, Yang Xingfo ran in excitedly.

"Hongfu (Yang Xingfo), what happened?"

"The matter in Sichuan has been resolved. It has been resolved. The British Swire International Company compensated the crew and the Wanxian Special Zone City a compensation of [-] silver dollars. A press conference was held to make a public apology. Afterwards, General Duan and the British Consulate in Chongqing issued separate statements, saying that the conflict was a misunderstanding, and both sides will restrain their own people to avoid such things from happening in the future."

Yang Xingfo spoke very fast, and suddenly told Zhou Ren the news he got from the telegram.It's because I'm so excited.After so many years in China, it is rare for foreigners to apologize.

Zhou Ren was a little stunned at first when he heard Yang Xingfo's words.

Because Yang Xingfo was too excited and spoke too fast, Zhou Ren didn't even react.But soon Zhou Ren understood Yang Xingfo's meaning, and the fatigue on his body disappeared completely in an instant.Jumping to the front of Yang Xingfo, he said loudly: "Hongfu, is what you said true? Did the British apologize?"

"Yes. Britain not only paid compensation but also apologized."

"Unbelievable, incredible."

Zhou Ren kept turning in place, and kept turning.

Zhou Ren returned to China more than three years ago, and encountered obstacles everywhere in China when looking for a job.In particular, Zhou Ren wanted to join Han Yeping Company, but was rejected by Han Yeping Company, which gave Zhou Ren a great blow.Fortunately, Zhou Ren is a master's degree from Cornell University, so there is no place to go.Go to Nanjing Normal School to teach.

But this is completely different from Zhou Ren's idea.

Zhou Ren wants to do practical things.

So Zhou Ren was very happy to hear that Duan Xun wanted to set up the Sichuan Iron and Steel Works.But Duan Xun revealed such a big thing, Zhou Ren was really anxious.But when he heard that the matter was resolved, Zhou Ren couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

"General Duan, General Duan is really a god. General Duan bombarded the British warship, but the British endured it? Swire Pacific also publicly apologized? It's incredible, it's incredible. I really want to see what General Duan is like now. people."

"Yes. When we arrive in Shanghai to change a ship, we will be able to enter Chongqing in ten days. And we should enter Chongqing earlier and start to prepare for the installation of the first batch of equipment."

Yang Xingfo also spoke with a smile.

Yang Xingfo is the director of the newly established Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant, and Zhou Ren is the chief engineer of the Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant. They must rush to Chongqing as soon as possible.Before the first batch of equipment is transported into Chongqing, it must arrive in Chongqing, so that we can make preparations.

The speed of the ship transporting the equipment is slow, and when the two of them change to a fast ship in Shanghai, they will be able to enter Chongqing faster than the first batch of equipment.

"Yes."

Zhou Ren nodded.

After thinking about it, he asked again: "But General Duan is so busy, do you have time to see us?"

Zhou Ren is engaged in technology.

In present China, these warlords don't care about them.Zhou Ren has been back to China for so long, and he has never seen a warlord who takes them seriously.But Zhou Ren really wanted to meet Duan Xun, because Zhou Ren really admired Duan Xun in his heart.Zhou Ren thought about many possibilities, but he didn't expect such a result.Yang Xingfo smiled and said, "I think he will definitely meet us. He attaches so much importance to the construction of the steel plant, how could he not see the two of us."

"I hope so. I really have high expectations for General Duan, but I am afraid of being disappointed. But no matter what, I have made up my mind to devote myself to the construction of the Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant, and I must build this Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant well."

"Me too."

Yang Xingfo looked at the sky and said: "Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant, I hope that Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant can become a new page in China's iron and steel industry, and must not become another Hanyeping Company."

"let's work hard together."

181 The Forces of All Parties 7

"teacher."

"I dare not be."

Gu Pinzhen sneered.

Mengzi.

After the Dian army drove Tang Jiyao into Kaihua, they took control of Mengzi.But not long after taking control of Mengzi, Zhou Zhongyue, governor of Yunnan, sent people to start establishing a Mengzi government in Mengzi.This made Gu Pinzhen very angry.Because the Dian army managed to control Mengzi with great difficulty, it began to earn some income in Mengzi.But Zhou Zhongyue came over to set up a new government agency in Mengzi, that is to say, the Dian army was not allowed to collect taxes by itself.

Since Zhou Zhongyue became the governor of Yunnan Province, the military expenditure for the Yunnan Army has been less and less, and the total annual military salary is only 80 million.This military expenditure simply cannot support the Yunnan Army.For more than a year, the Yunnan army has not purchased any arms because they have no money in hand.

Zhou Zhongyue didn't let go of earning a little money in Mengzi with great difficulty this time.But Gu Pinzhen had no choice. Zhou Zhongyue's position became more and more stable after he became governor.Especially after the cooperation with Sichuan has become closer and closer, the policies of banning smoking, running universities, building roads, and supporting industries in Yunnan have all made the business, academic, and political circles in Yunnan give Zhou Zhongyue their full support.Of course, the biggest reason is that Gu Pinzhen is currently leading troops outside, and cannot influence Zhou Zhongyue in Kunming at all.So Gu Pinzhen watched Zhou Zhongyue establish a local government directly under the provincial government in Mengzi and took away the tax collection from Gu Pinzhen.

This time, it was Li Youxun who personally came to set up the Mengzi Police Station in Mengzi.

Li Youxun's position in the Yunnan government is also becoming more and more stable.Especially with the increasing cooperation between Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, the Yunnan provincial government is increasingly influenced by Sichuan.There are too many cooperation projects between the two parties, and there are also many exchanges between cadres.

Gradually, Zhou Zhongyue and the others were unable to continue to suppress Li Youxun, who was valued and supported by Duan Xun.Coupled with Li Youxun's ability, Li Youxun has officially become the director of the Yunnan Police Department.Of course, it was also a helpless decision of the Yunnan provincial government.

Li Youxun is almost the only one in the police department, and he can't be suppressed even if he wants to.

Mengzi is the seat of Yunnan Customs and the most important place in Yunnan.So to clean up the original police station here and rebuild the Mengzi police station, of course Li Youxun came to Mengzi to deal with it in person.After finishing his work, Li Youxun came to visit Gu Pinzhen.

Li Youxun was born in the Yunnan Lecture Hall and the Yunnan Army. There are countless teachers and classmates in the Yunnan Army.

"Director Li, everyone is here, what advice do you have?"

Speaking of which, Li Youxun is indeed Gu Pinzhen's student.Back then, Gu Pinzhen was a teacher in the lecture hall, and Li Youxun was his student.It's just that so many years have passed, and after graduation, Li Youxun has been following Tang Jiyao, so the relationship with Gu Pinzhen is relatively distant.Later, Li Youxun defected to Duan Xun again, which made Gu Pinzhen not like it very much.

Now Li Youxun is the director of the Yunnan Police Department, and he really has a high position and authority.Even in the current situation in Yunnan, Li Youxun is more powerful than Gu Pinzhen, the Yunnan governor.Over the past year or so, Li Youxun has reorganized the original police stations in every county in northern and central Yunnan, and now he has begun to extend his hand to southern Yunnan.The power in his hands is getting bigger and bigger.

"Teacher, I just came to see you."

"Then don't dare to do it."

Seeing Gu Pinzhen's cold attitude, Li Youxun didn't feel angry at all.In fact, with Li Youxun's current status, there are not many people in Yunnan, or no one has given him such a face.Zhou Zhongyue and the others had something to discuss with Li Youxun, and on the surface they gave Li Youxun enough face.

But Li Youxun didn't care about Gu Pinzhen's attitude.

Still smiling, he said, "Teacher, I know that you have opinions on me, but what I say is that the Dian Army went out. I have deep feelings for the Dian Army."

"Hehe, our Yunnan army can't afford to climb high."

"Teacher, you should have heard about this incident. The British apologized. Do you know the reaction in Kunming? Tens of thousands of students in Kunming are celebrating, and businesses in Kunming are setting off firecrackers. Even foreign firms that usually show off their power in Kunming The employees are honest and honest. General Duan’s student regiment in Kunming has been surrounded by students who have signed up, and they all want to join the army.”

Gu Pinzhen didn't speak.

Because it is not only those businessmen and students in Kunming who are celebrating, even Mengzi is the same.Mengzi is the seat of Yunnan Customs. There are British and French people here, and there are many foreign firms.

During this time, all of them were very low-key.

And not only merchants and students in Mengzi, but also grassroots officers of the Yunnan Army are also celebrating during this period.In fact, don't talk about them, Gu Pinzhen is also very happy.There are also those big bosses of the Yunnan Army, although they don't say anything, they are all very happy.

"Teacher, I came to Mengzi and met some classmates."

Gu Pinzhen glanced at Li Youxun.
