Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 408 I want to go to Fengtian

Ice city
After the plague was gradually brought under control, everything remained the same, except that there were more people in the family, which made Zhu Chuanwen scratch his head. Every day when he came home, he could see Xian'er's usual and Gong Ruomei's tenderness. Under the warmth, a kind of Zhu Chuanwen was a little fascinated by the feeling called "stimulation".

Hey, the inferiority of men, Zhu Chuanwen criticized himself more than once.

It's just that, occasionally, Gong Ruomei thought of her father. When the two people who were already close were discussing the countermeasures, she really felt that Gong Baosen was really hard to explain, but now that the raw rice had been cooked, Zhu Chuanwen had no choice but to retreat. .

Of course, these are internal conflicts within the family, and Hanyao's changes are still going on...

"President, Lan Yishan is here." Zhao Dong knocked on Zhu Chuanwen's office and said.

"Let him in."

As for Zhao Dong, letting Zhu Chuanwen catch a cold, Zhu Chunshan thought it was negligence at work.From the point of view of the parties involved, strictly speaking, it was not only Zhao Dong's fault, Zhu Chuanwen was also more at fault, who let the hot night open the windows, and let this matter go away with the wind.

But no one expected that in the secretary guidelines that Zhao Dong wrote later, he listed some precautions in detail, which became a regulation for Zhu Chuanwen's secretary in the future. You have to be careful too.

"Boss teacher!" Lan Yishan came in and performed the safety team etiquette.

"Yishan, what's wrong?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

Usually, Lan Yishan is the person in charge of the hunter in Shanhaiguan. In fact, he seldom meets Zhu Chuanwen in person to report things. It is regarded as the base camp where the Zhu family lived and lived.

So most of the time, Gong Yaodao conveyed it in the form of telegram.

"Teacher, recently hunters from all over the country have been reporting that Xiliang has evacuated many people who were watching at the gate of the security team. I have personally confirmed that it is true."

"Oh?" Zhu Chuanwen leaned forward slightly, looking very interested.

"According to the news from Fengtian, this matter should have been brought up by Chen Heng. He has been under the direct command of Xiliang and was ordered to monitor our insurance team."

"Chen Heng?" Zhu Chuanwen had only heard the name, thought for a moment, and reacted and said: "It seems that it is the right way to let the commercial firm contact the governor's subordinates in various places to sell guns. Heng's information."

To be honest, this period of modern history is not so close, but it is not far away. The continuous change of regime in just a few decades has caused many people to be replaced by more shining people.

This person is not well-known in history, but in fact, this person has made great contributions to Yuan Shikai's later stage.In ancient times, there was Zhuge Liang's three spirits of Zhou Yu, and in modern times, there was a "death-killing second Chen" who sent Yuan Shikai back to the west.Of course, this is something.

Success, Xiao He, failure, Xiao He, also because of being too involved with Beiyang, Chen Heng was left idle in the later stage, but he is also honest and honest, maybe because of congeniality...

"It's the Prime Minister." Lan Yishan moved his right heel to his left heel, and opened the documents in his hand. Before coming, he had prepared many things. "Chen Heng, 41 years old, according to the information collected by the hunter, he was inspected and inquired by the minister sent by the imperial court in May this year, and was officially appointed as the 5th town commander of the imperial new army at the end of the month. Recently, he had to go to the capital to report on his duties."

"Interesting, is it directly under the Qing court's military headquarters?" Zhu Chuanwen smiled.

In the entire Kanto, there are now four new armies directly under the Qing government, namely the No.20 town (division level) of the new army, which controls Chen Heng; All are stationed in Fengtian; the No.20 three towns of the New Army (controlling Meng Enyuan) are stationed in Kyrgyzstan Province;

These four teams are all directly under the Qing government's army yamen, and the main difference between the two Zhenxin troops compiled and trained by Zhu Kaishan is that the military pay is uniformly allocated by the Qing government, and the firearms are manufactured and distributed by the Shanhaiguan Internal Manufacturing Bureau.

The four teams of the New Army can be said to have built the foundation of Beiyang. When Xu Shichang entered the Kanto, he brought not only the third town of Beiyang, but also some personnel from the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth towns of Beiyang. skeleton.

After the Qing government unified and changed the army in 1910, these people also quickly established a new army.

If we divide it in more detail, the new army organized by Zhu Kaishan in the two towns of Kyrgyzstan Province actually belonged to the local financial appropriation and was directly under Xiliang. It was Meng Enyuan, a subordinate who followed Yuan Shikai during his military training at Xiaozhan.

Kanto seems to be peaceful, but in fact the forces are also intertwined.

The governors of the Qing court these days can actually be called reformers. After the seeds of reform were planted in the Hundred Days Reform, the top-down reforms failed. The governors, the backbone of the Qing court, set off a revolution. A wave of reform from the bottom up.

There are many smart people in every era, and the power, status and even means of production in their hands made the reforms of the governors of the Qing court a little cautious.If it is said that those people in the south want torrential rain, to destroy the dead, to make drastic cuts.

Then in the vast northern land, the reforms of these governors are actually a little wind and rain, step by step, and even intertwined, checking and balancing each other.

Zhu Kaishan's new army was established under such a situation. It has to be said that after the Zhu family had Hanyao and the insurance team, Xiliang firmly grasped the status of this kind of military business.

Closer to home.

"Yes, the head teacher, it is under the direct control of the military department of the Qing court." Lan Yishan put the document with the photo in his hand on Zhu Chuanwen's desk, and pointed to a photo. This is the army yamen of the Qing court. On the university campus.

"This is Chen Heng's photo and resume." Lan Yishan continued to take something from his file, and said the key points, "Chen Heng is a titan who was made by relying on military exploits.

In 1900, under the command of Ronglu in the capital city, he led a team of 300 people to resist the Russian and Japanese troops attacking Chaoyangmen. He was shot in more than a dozen places, and then led 85 people to break out.

Along the way, I picked up more than 10 taels of silver, which was said to be from the finance of Anhui Province, and all of them were handed over to the Qing court.After this matter was over, he was not reused by the Qing court and went back to his hometown in Hubei to find a job. In 1903, Cen Chunxuan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Xiliang, the governor of Sichuan at the time, were competing to recruit him as his staff. Finally, he followed Xiliang from Sichuan to Kanto. "

"What about your analysis?" Zhu Chuanwen asked Lan Yishan after reading his resume.

"The chief teacher can only say that this person is as honest and honest as Xiliang. Perhaps because of this, Chen Heng chose Xiliang as his staff. Being blocked so dead has nothing to do with this person.

The shopkeeper of Hanyao actually sent money tentatively, but they were returned.Maybe he was also afraid of the elder brother (Zhu Kaishan), but he did not less intimidate and lure those companies that dumped mines. "

"Interesting, do you think his integrity is for Xi Liang to see, or is it his nature?"

"The general teacher, this matter is not yet a conclusion, we can only continue to observe and monitor. It may be true to be honest and honest, but often, such people have great ambitions."

"That's right, that's what I mean too. Let's wait and see. If it's true, we can try to reveal some of Han Yao's thoughts." Zhu Chuanwen said.

"It's possible, but our people found that this person is often in contact with Wu Luzhen's subordinates. According to the communication with Shanghai Captain Wang Keren, maybe this person is still a member of the Huayuanshan Society."

"Kanto is really a broken pocket, and there are leaks everywhere. The governor of Kyrgyzstan finally sent Wu Luzhen to Germany. I didn't expect that there would be Chen Heng, and there would be Lan Tianwei under Chen Heng. Forget it for now, for us, Xi Even if Liang withdraws those who are watching, that means letting go of our vigilance.

It seems that I should also take this opportunity to meet Xiliang. I asked Zhao Dong to draft a letter. Let me pay a private visit. Fengtian and Kyrgyzstan have blocked some of our business contacts. This level of tacit understanding, see It's time to tear it apart. "Zhu Chuanwen said.

Regarding this, Lan Yishan actually didn't express his opinion, but after hearing about it, he sent a few caravans from Wangjiashan goods store to Fengtian.

……

Fengtian, Governor's Mansion

Xiliang and his staff member Chen Heng are talking to each other.

"Yangzhen (Chen Heng's word), this time when you go to the capital to report on your work, you should be extremely careful in everything." Xiliang said to Chen Heng with earnestness and sincerity. Brother, he has been an official for the Qing court for generations.Integrity is fine, but for Chen Heng, the Qing court in this era seems a bit different.

The two also have similar temperaments, and they have often been brought by their side these years to give him room to grow. Now it seems that Chen Heng's development is not bad.

"My lord, don't worry. Now that the situation in Kanto has been settled, Lao Zhu (Zhu Kaishan) is busy suppressing bandits in Kyrgyzstan under your command, which indirectly caused the insurance team to be much quieter this year. Little Zhu (Zhu Chuanwen) is also a Smart people, the Zhu family has already given in.

And with your recommendation, the governors of various places have begun to accept Hanyao's firearms one after another. , As long as we limit it to Heilongjiang province, there will be no big storms.

Xiaozhu's business talent is rare in the world, and Hanyao needs support. This is also my opinion. The industrial foundation of our Qing Dynasty is still too weak. There are people like this, who are more pragmatic than any bank.This is also the reason why I only monitored and did not take any action after hearing what Han Yao had done.

In my opinion, the workers in Bingcheng and the farmers in Zhu’s Grain Shop are both examples of Xiao Zhu’s arrogance to the people. Perhaps this commercial system is more suitable for Kanto. "Chen Heng talked about what he had seen and heard in Kanto for two years, and was amazed.

"Yes, because of this, Xu Shichang and I are pampering the Zhu family, but they are doing better than me." Xi Liang also said, the black province intelligence has always been the top priority on his desk, Even the matter of Zhu Chuanwen going to the dam before.

Throughout November, one good news and one bad news really made Xi Liang a bit sad and happy.

The good news is that Han Yao of the Zhu family has now started to sell firearms to various places at a price lower than that of foreigners, and he is pursuing his position as a mere businessman.In order to make the Zhu family submit, he, Xiliang, thought of many ways, and finally adopted Chen Heng's method of blocking various minerals.

And the bad news is the plague...

"Yangzhen, this time you come to Beijing, you will help me to find out again, how about my letter: "Borrow 30 silver dollars to help urgent needs, after the Anhui relief is completed, the extension period will be half a year, and it will be repaid with donations" Already?" Xi Liang sighed heavily, the disasters in Qilu, the stock market disaster in Shanghai, and the large-scale shortage of grain in Anhui Province indirectly caused turmoil in the two lakes, and the Qing court is really having a hard time this year.

The previous grain harvest in the Kanto region was a solution to an urgent need, but now, the plague in the Kanto region can be regarded as making Xiliang a little bit stretched. The money and grain were used to help Shanhaiguan, and now he is considered a landlord and has no food left.

After the plague, more than 60 counties in the three Kanto provinces suffered from plague to varying degrees. Although the Qing court followed his advice and sent people over, they were short of money now.

Xiliang also knows that without money, many things cannot be done, and there is no grasp.

For example, in his heart, he cares for the doctors who died due to the plague, breaks the concept of the Kanto people's corpses buried in the ground, purchases anti-plague supplies from Hanyao, and even allocates medical supplies from Shanhaiguan, etc.

Xiliang thought this way. He borrowed a total of 30 yuan from the Bank of the Great Qing Dynasty and the Qingting Bank of Communications, and then raised money from the Guandong officials and gentry groups after the plague eased, and then returned this part of the money.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, and even the Republic of China, all kinds of donations emerged in an endless stream. It can be said that we should inherit the will of the old man Shiquan, and at worst, take out some official positions. Xiliang can only do so now.

However, how did Xiliang know that the current Qing Ting Bank of Communications was affected by the rubber stock market, and the pressure was on the Qing Bank.

Whether the Bank of Great Qing can borrow or not depends on what the regent Prince Zaifeng thinks...

At this time, on the road from Bingcheng to Fengtian, Zhu Chuanwen and his party were marching. The plague was accompanied by decrees issued by the governors of various places to restrict the movement of people. Zhu Chuanwen wanted to see Xiliang, and this matter was also approved by Zhu Kaishan. agree.

Zhu Kaishan's idea is very simple, the plague situation in Chuncheng is also very serious, his new army has been dispatched to both towns, and Zhu Chuanwen is bound to talk about this matter when he enters Fengtian.

Old Zhu could guess what Da'er was thinking, and it was nothing more than taking advantage of the plague to benefit Han Yao. This was not because Han Yao wanted to make money from this disaster, but to get some convenience from the way of the government order.

It can be foreseen that Xiliang will definitely come to him in the future. As the leading manufacturing bureau in Bingcheng, Hanyao might as well take the initiative by himself instead of being asked for alms.

This time when he came to Fengtian, besides his secretary and guards, Zhu Chuanwen also accompanied Lan Yishan.It is more dangerous to take the train, so it is better to ride a horse, along the official road, starting from Bingcheng, the group walked slowly for four days, and learned about the plague situation along the way.

Cao Dezhong and Qiao Hongguo also arranged the plague prevention work of Zhujialiangpu. It can only be said that there is less movement of people between the countryside, which is much better than that in the county.

As soon as he arrived at Fengtian City, Zhu Chuanwen suddenly remembered something, and asked Lan Yishan beside him, "Yishan, is the No. [-] Mixed Association of the new army in the Black Province now?"

Lan Yi naturally understood what it meant, "Teacher, the mixed association in Hei Province is actually built from the skeleton of the Sixth Town of Beiyang. I also feel that this kind of work saves worry, those who are sent to the First Mixed Association, this is much better than other hunters who go out to make a living."

Zhu Chuanwen laughed when he heard that, this kind of mixed-in work is really worry-free, and it is much better than the hunters' inn business that often loses money. "That's good. The quality of Beiyang is still good. Of course, I'm talking about the old Beiyang who trained at the small station in Shanhaiguan, but with these skeletons, I'm afraid that this mixed association will cause trouble for me in Heilongjiang Province. If so It’s hard to say that Hei Province has finally settled down.”

Although the tone was relaxed, Lan Yishan could hear the chill in it. Zhu Chuanwen was reminding him that if the situation could not be controlled, he planned to strike ahead of time. During the plague period, maybe God was handing the knife to Zhu Chuanwen, and the machine The unmissable knife.

But for this, Lan Yishan is also full of confidence. It is a method that cannot be used if it is not necessary. It hurts Tianhe, "Mr. The first batch of hunters sent to the No. [-] Mixed Combination Association in the Black Province had a few talents recruited by Captain Wang Keren from Shanhaiguan.

Knowledgeable, with the identity of the Black Province, and with our promotion, it is actually quite easy to rise to the top.Moreover, the First Mixed Composition Association has not been fully recruited yet. I heard that it will recruit troops again at the end of this month. I still have personnel to send in. There is a man from Shanghai who is headed by Wang Keren, who is also a Japanese. International students. "

"Students from Japan?" Zhu Chuanwen was clearly interested.

"Speaking of which, it has something to do with Chuanwu." Lan Yishan made a fool of himself.

"what is it call?"

"Chen Zhen!"

"Chen Zhen?" Zhu Chuanwen's voice was obviously higher, and the figure of handing over and cracking the plaque of "Sick Man of East Asia" appeared in his mind.

"I always teach you to really know?"

Lan Yishan was a little surprised. According to Wang Keren's news, Chen Zhen and Zhu Chuanwu were friends, and he also knew Gu Ansheng. Such an intertwined relationship with Zhu's family is actually suitable for Bingcheng.

But this was when Chen Zhen was alone. Lan Yishan met Chen Zhen in Bingcheng, and this man's study in Japan was not in vain, and he brought back a Japanese wife.At the request of Zhu Chuanwen, Bingcheng pays special attention to the Japanese. Because of business activities, the power of Japan is also gradually infiltrating in Bingcheng. Lan Yishan is afraid of trouble, so he puts it in Qiqi City, the capital of Heilongjiang Province, but now ...

"How about changing it?" Lan Yishan asked, looking at Zhu Chuanwen's expression.

"No need, follow your arrangement. I heard Lao Gu mention this person." Zhu Chuanwen said casually.

"Yes! Instructor, but Chen Zhen is highly valued by Captain Wang Keren. He said that he is a good seed. He studied in Japan, learned mechanical manufacturing, and is very proficient in firearms. The captain asked me to ask for some information from the Firearms Research Institute. This matter is a bit big, I originally planned to report to you after a while."

"Okay, it's a good way. Let's give some general information of the firearms research institute first, then give me the status of an ordinary researcher, and then give me some money. I have a wife, and my heart is at ease. If you propose something in the future Useful suggestions, follow the treatment of the research institute." Zhu Chuanwen said, this is considered as special care for Chen Zhen, the hunter gets a share of money, the Qing court sends another share, and the researcher pays another share. Among the three shares, the research institute This is the highest.

Zhu Chuanwen is like this. Talents, there is nothing wrong with giving more money. After all, the basic life still needs to be guaranteed. Even Huo Yuanjia, doesn't he still have to rely on Nong Jinsun for medical business support?hero?Fame cannot be turned into gold.

"Your captain actually came up with a good idea. The design of firearms should be combined with practice and theory. I have to think about it when I go back." Zhu Chuanwen passed the topic back to the hunter, thinking in his heart, maybe It is also a good way to conduct military training organized by the researchers of the Firearms Research Institute.

The two said so, and the team arrived at Fengtian City.

　History is always strikingly similar. Ito Hirobumi wanted North Korea, and a righteous man Ahn Jung-geun came out!On this special Friday, there is a wave of celebration, may the world be peaceful!
