Fengxian Jiangshan

The reason why British investment can make Zhang Tinglan excited is not only the opening of the European market, but also the introduction of British power, which can at least contain Japan, and if necessary, the introduction of American power. Feng Department is too disadvantageous.

"Seventh Lord, we should also prepare to return to Fengtian to show our talents."

"You are not afraid that Yuan Shikai will keep you in Beijing."

"Of course I'm not afraid, Lao Yuan doesn't have the guts anymore." Zhang Tinglan smiled and brought a stack of newspapers to Lao Zhang: "If Lao Yuan keeps me in Beijing, won't the accusations of those literati be confirmed? I will replace him." Charged into the battle, Lao Yuan rewarded him for his merits, and at that time, the loess mud fell into the crotch, and it was either shit or shit."

Lao Zhang also glanced at the newspaper, frowned, and sighed, "Mr. Yang Jingzhen asked me to study with him for free, and I learned to read and gained a lot of knowledge. I respect these literati from the bottom of my heart, but What happened in the past two days really disappointed me!"

"Everyone has his own self-interest, and these literati are no exception. When their self-interest conflicts with the development of the country, they will, like ordinary people, take into account their self-interest and drag the country's hind legs, and return to Fengtian in the future. Don’t take this group of people lightly.”

Lao Zhang nodded and said yes, this job report is almost over, and Lao Zhang is also preparing to leave Beijing. When they came to Beijing, there were only a few people plus guards, and the team going back was much larger.

First of all, there are still workers in Song Zhongyi's factory. After receiving Zhang Tinglan's support, he transported all the machines detained at Tianjin Port, put them on the train, and shipped them directly to Fengtian. The machines in the factory were also dismantled and shipped. By Fengtian, Song Zhongyi already knew the news that Zhang Tinglan had reached an agreement with Britain.

Therefore, he felt that time was pressing, so he asked his family to stay in Beijing temporarily to deal with the property at a low price. He then rushed to Fengtian with Zhang Tinglan. Attracted by the high salary, more than 300 workers in the factory agreed to go. Working in Fengtian, just moving these people and machines to Fengtian will cost [-] yuan in relocation fees.

But both Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Zuolin were willing. With this factory, Fengtian's textile industry has changed from a hand spinning wheel to a large-scale mechanized production.

Kwong Rongguang also agreed to go to Fengtian. Originally, he wanted to deal with some matters and waited until the settlement was almost settled before going there. However, because the debate happened in his home, Kwong Rongguang also suffered a lot. Many people called him Yuan Shikai’s lackey and cooperated with acting In a fit of rage, Kuang Rongguang also followed Zhang Tinglan and the others back to Fengtian, hiding in peace.

Bayuzao will also go to Fengtian, personally select a few suitable apprentices, and then bring them to the United States to study together. Zhang Tinglan also needs to arrange the management personnel of the overseas study fund.

In addition to them, the UK also sent several representatives. On the one hand, they wanted to discuss the specific procurement catalog with Fengtian, and on the other hand, they also arranged for experts to help Fengtian build a power plant and expand the factory's production capacity.

Just when the preparations were almost over, the Presidential Palace sent a letter of appointment, appointing General Zhang Zuolin Shengwu, the commander-in-chief of bandit suppression in the three eastern provinces, to be fully responsible for local security work.

The appointment of Lao Zhang was not surprising. Both Yang Shiqi and Yuan Keding notified Zhang Zuolin in advance. The two provinces of Heilongjiang became the highest military officials in the Northeast.But this proposal was strongly opposed by Liang Shiyi. Liang Shiyi even put on the table the matter of Zhang Zuolin's gift to Yang Shiqi in front of Lao Yuan.

Faced with Liang Shiyi's questioning, Yang Shiqi was not to be outdone. He asked Liang Shiyi to give an estimate of the authentic work of Zhou Yue, and now he also asked Liang Shiyi.Speaking of it, this thing is too interesting and unique in the world, but it is not well-known in the painting and calligraphy circles. Those who understand the value think that it represents an important part of art history and is a priceless treasure. Those who don’t understand Zhou Yue are nameless. His generation can't compare to a romantic talent like Tang Bohu.

Even Yuan Shikai was very surprised, this little bandit leader in Fengtian really had some good people around him, he was able to find this kind of treasure, and he bought Yang Shiqi right away. He had never seen Yang Shiqi work so hard for others.

When Yang Shiqi and Liang Shiyi were fighting each other, another confidant of Lao Yuan, Yang Du, spoke up. He stood by Liang Shiyi's side, thinking that Zhang Zuolin seemed rude, but in fact he was deeply scheming. Such a person could be used, but he should not be trusted blindly.

Yang Du suggested promoting Zhang Zuolin as the commander of the bandit suppression first, and let him calm down the place. If he did well, it would not be too late to let him manage Fengtian.But right now is the critical moment for ascension to the throne and proclaiming the emperor, and the three eastern provinces are the rear of Beijing, so a crony must be dispatched to take charge. Yang Du also recommended Lao Yuan's confidant, son Duan Zhigui.

Lao Yuan was suspicious at first, but Yang Du's words reached his heart. In addition, when Lao Zhang entered Beijing, the Japanese Minister Hiki Masaki also greeted Yuan Shikai, and the Japanese also warned Yuan Shikai not to let Zhang Zuolin be the governor of Fengtian. .

After weighing again and again, Lao Yuan did not hand over the governor of Fengtian to Zhang Zuolin.It's just that Lao Yuan's control over Beiyang has been greatly weakened at present, let alone Zhang Zuolin, a local powerful faction. If Zhang Zuolin is not appeased, there may be turmoil in Fengtian. After several considerations, Lao Yuan decided to appoint Zhang Zuolin as the three eastern provinces. Commander-in-Chief.

At the same time, Lao Yuan allocated [-] rifles to Zhang Zuolin and authorized him to form the Fengtian Independent Brigade, which was considered a small sweet date for Zhang Zuolin. As for the military affairs of the three eastern provinces, they were handed over to Duan Zhigui, whom Lao Yuan trusted more.

"Master, this appointment has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that we can extend our hands to Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. The disadvantage is that we still cannot directly control Fengtian, and there is Duan Zhigui as our immediate boss." Yuan Jinkai who came with him analyzed some situations.

"Damn it, Fengtian and Feng Delin and others, we haven't even stabilized our family, so how can we get involved in Jilin and Heilongjiang!" Zhang Zuolin frowned after receiving this appointment, obviously very unhappy. He came to Beijing with the heart of a feudal lord, but Lao Yuan only sent him away with the Commander-in-Chief of the Bandit Suppression, and Lao Zhang was immediately filled with anger.

"When we return to Fengtian, let's immediately expand our army and strengthen our strength. Your Highness Duan Zhigui, the Yu'ergan, don't want to sit on the throne. I, Lao Zhang, must drive him out!" Zhang Zuolin called Zhang Tinglan over again, and said to him: "Tinglan, Do you have a way to get more arms on the Middle East road?"

"It's absolutely fine, we have bought Tsarist Russia, and soon we will be able to use the name of Russia to order a few bullet production lines. In addition, there will be a large amount of arms going through the Middle East Road in the near future, and even large-caliber heavy artillery. We can find a way to intercept them! "

"Okay!" Zhang Zuolin patted the armrest of the sofa vigorously, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes: "Since Mr. Yuan won't hand over Fengtian to us, let's grab it back with a cannon!"

Lao Zhang is worthy of being the king of the Northeast. He really has a lot of power.Zhang Tinglan is also full of enthusiasm. Don't look at Yuan Shikai's failure to hand over Fengtian Governor to Zhang Zuolin this time, but it can also be seen from the appointment that Lao Yuan has no ability to control the place.

In order to appease Zhang Zuolin, he even authorized him to form the Fengtian Independent Brigade, and gave him [-] rifles. This was undoubtedly a bribe for Zhang Zuolin, and it also proved Lao Yuan's weakness. After seeing all this, Zhang Zuolin was no longer willing to go dormant.

Of course, before returning to Fengtian, I have to go to Yuan Shikai for this trip, and by the way thank President Yuan for his kindness. Zhang Tinglan also went to the presidential palace with him. Zhang Tinglan knew that in two or three months, this place would become the Xinhua Palace. Yuan Shikai, a hero, had a dream After waking up, we will completely step off the stage of history. Next, China will enter an unprecedented chaotic moment, and of course it will also be a huge stage for heroes from all sides.

This time when Lao Zhang entered the presidential palace, Yuan Keding greeted him in person. Obviously, he was more polite than last time. He even dragged Zhang Zuolin to meet Duan Zhigui. Determination.

Later, Lao Zhang brought Zhang Tinglan to meet Yuan Shikai. Although it was the first time that President Yuan saw Zhang Tinglan, he had been hearing about this young man for the past two days.He first slapped Liang Shiyi in the face at the dinner and reached a cooperation agreement with Zhu Erdian.

This made Lao Yuan look at his economic ability with admiration. You must know that Yuan Shikai's subordinates are short of such talents. he.

After reading it, Lao Yuan was also very surprised. This young man understands economics, culture, and the West. He is also quick-witted and eloquent.Lao Yuan really intended to keep him in Beijing, but Lao Yuan also knew that Zhang Tinglan's words were equivalent to digging up the graves of those scholars, exposing their despicable thoughts to the broad daylight, and completely offending these people to death. Leaving Zhang Tinglan behind will only cause big trouble.

"Ting Lan, it's not wrong for young people to show their sharpness. You go back to Fengtian first, and then come to Beijing after a while. I value your talent very much. The government urgently needs a large number of capable young people." Lao Yuan said a few words Encouraging words, and then asked: "Ting Lan, do you have words now?"

"President, not yet."

"Well, then I'll give you one." Lao Yuan thought for a while, and then said: "Just use the word "clumsy words", you are quick-witted and fickle, which is a good thing, but you must never forget the golden mean, reconcile yin and yang, and be clumsy. Words are to remind you not to forget the ancient saying that too many words are lost, and you will become a pillar of talent as soon as possible."

It is definitely an honor for Lao Yuan to personally bestow the characters. Zhang Tinglan doesn't care much about them, but with characters, it will be much easier to address them.

Lao Zhang bid farewell to Yuan Shikai, and returned to Fengtian with everyone. When Lao Zhang saw the people accompanying him back, the unhappiness in his heart had long since disappeared.

"Even without this official position, just a textile factory and an order of 50 pounds from the UK are worth it. This trip is worthwhile!"

Their train was full of workers, and they rushed to Fengtian along the Beijing-Fengtian Railway.

When passing through Shanhaiguan, a large number of soldiers with live ammunition suddenly appeared inside and outside the station, and stopped Zhang Zuolin's train. A tall and strong officer came straight to Zhang Zuolin's special train with his bodyguards.
