The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

The breakthrough of spn internal combustion engine technology not only made breakthroughs in aircraft and chariots, but also drove the performance of agricultural machinery and automobiles.

Especially for agricultural machinery, because of the reliable internal combustion engine, those previous designs have sufficient living soil, so that they can be realized.

A technological change is coming.

In terms of tractors, Jiangyu has developed a new tire design, which is a tractor tire full of bumps, and its grip has become extremely strong. Therefore, future tractors can be designed without crawlers and are more reliable.

One disadvantage of the track is that it is easy to wear and tear. With the current technical level, the track is relatively easy to break, but the tire has no such problem. [

Therefore, a new tractor factory was built, and the original tractor factory was converted into a chariot factory.

The Agricultural Machinery Research Institute immediately invested in the manufacture of new agricultural machinery, striving to produce various reliable agricultural machinery as soon as possible, and I believe that there will be fruitful results soon.

In terms of automobile manufacturing, since large trucks use diesel engines, large trucks with reliable performance can already be produced. In terms of civilian vehicles, Huadong Automobile Factory has also begun to develop new types of civilian vehicles. The performance requirements are higher than that of the Ford Model T , and the manufacturing cost should be similar to that of the T-model car.

During his busy schedule, Jiang Yu sent a telegram to his wife in Germany, describing the current situation in China. Britta was very happy after receiving his telegram, because her father Yukos knew that his son-in-law had already played a role in China. After a territory about the size of Germany, Britta has agreed to let Brita go to China after the situation in China has stabilized a little.

Brita sent a telegram back to Jiang Yu, telling Jiang Yu that their daughter could already be called mother. Brita, who was pregnant in October, gave birth to a baby girl, who was already one year old at this time.

After receiving this telegram, Jiang Yu suddenly realized that he was already a father.

His father-in-law, Yukos, also sent a telegram to Jiang Yu, congratulating him on his achievements in China, and conveying the attitude of German Emperor Wilhelm II to support Jiang Yu's attack on Shandong.

Obviously, German Emperor Wilhelm II wanted to seek greater benefits in China, which was essentially no different from Britain, France, Japan and other countries, but Germany had the fewest overseas colonies, and Jiang Yu knew that Germany was about to be defeated in World War I, so he was also willing to do so. Cooperation with Germany.

If Jiangyu conquers Shandong, it will be connected to the German colony of Qingdao, and the cooperation between the two parties will be closer and more direct.

"Dear father-in-law, now I have firmly controlled the administration and taxation of the two provinces, and have been able to ensure the development of industry and commerce in the military. I hope you can increase investment in China, especially the investment in arsenals..." Jiang Yu sent a telegram to Yukos, hoping that Yukos would come to China to invest in the arms manufacturing industry.

At this time, although Jiangyu's arsenal can manufacture a lot of munitions, the main thing is its own technology, and many munitions are still produced illegally.

So Jiang Yu hoped that his father-in-law would come to help him.

However, Yukos quickly replied to the telegram and expressed apology to him, because Germany's core military technology is not allowed to leak.

At this time, Jiang Yu's arsenal was able to be built smoothly, mainly because apart from those basic rifles and other munitions, other advanced munitions were developed by Jiang Yu's technology, so Germany did not block him.

However, Yukos still said that it can use funds equivalent to 35 billion silver dollars to invest in the industrial investment of Lianghuai. Although Jiangyu has not achieved the goal of comprehensive military technology, it is still very happy.

The investment of 35 billion silver dollars can enable the construction of many industries in Lianghuai. Although the 35 billion funds are not all from Yukos, there are also many shareholders of Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank. In fact, they all belong to Jiang Yu.

At the same time, Yukos also said that it can facilitate Jiangyu's commercial loans.

At this time, Germany's gross industrial product ranks second in the world, second only to the United States.The area of ​​the United States is more than ten times that of Germany. It can be said that Germany at this time is the most industrially developed place in the world.

And Germany is too small, the Germans have such a strong industrial capacity, and there are not many overseas colonies, the industry has begun to overcapacity. [

Jiang Yu has built a territory in China, which just solved the problem of excess industrial production capacity of some Germans.

Because Jiangyu's loan from Germany will be used to purchase shipbuilding and other equipment in Germany, and it will also be used to purchase ships, which can solve the problem of excess industrial production capacity in Germany.

Therefore, it is not difficult to borrow money from a German bank. Soon, German Emperor Wilhelm II personally approved a loan from the German KfW Bank to Jiang Yu, with an amount of 5 million silver dollars.

Obviously, William II wanted Jiang Yu to invest the money in the war and build a bigger territory in China.

……

On February 2th, Yuan Shikai transferred the Imperial Guards out of Beijing, and three days later he boarded a train and set off for Shandong. The leader, Feng Guozhang, they declared their allegiance to General Feng to the death.

It looks like a mourner is available.

Although Yuan Shikai felt that the imperial guards were overkill to deal with the revival army, but in order to deal with the revival army as soon as possible, he came to kill a chicken to show the monkeys. Yuan Shikai transferred the Beiyang army from the fifth town back to Shandong, and at the same time ordered Zhang Xuan's braided army to attack together. The revival army, which mobilized a total force of up to 5 people.

As for the Fuxing Army, only one Type A division with 15 people was transferred to Shandong to fight, and it had to face three times the strength of its own side.

The news was sent back to Huaiyin, but Jiang Yu did not continue to send more troops to the front line, but ordered Jiang Fangzhen in front to actively deploy. Jiang Fangzhen quickly sent back the battle plan formulated by the staff.

"According to intelligence, Yuan Shikai mobilized 2 imperial guards, 16 braided troops, and 13 fifth towns to attack our Shandong headquarters. However, Yuan Shikai's troops have not yet assembled. After discussion by the staff department, it is decided to attack Shandong tomorrow. Jinan, first annihilate the 6500 troops of the First Association in the fifth town, and then quickly maneuver..."

The Jining headquarters sent back the battle plan and asked Jiang Yu for instructions.

Jiang Yu responded with two words of approval!

……

The cloud of war has enveloped the entire Shandong. Yuan Shikai sent a telegram on February 2, requesting the revival army to withdraw from Shandong, so as to avoid irreversible misunderstandings.

The implication of its military threat is self-evident. At the same time, the Nanjing Provisional Government also issued a telegram, accusing the Renaissance Army of disregarding the overall situation of the peace talks between the North and the South, and arbitrarily starting the war. Now that the Qing Emperor has abdicated, the army should retreat quickly.

The British and French consulates also threatened the revival army, demanding that the revival army withdraw immediately.

At this time, Jiang Yu, the leader of the warlord, was caught in a political and diplomatic predicament, but how could he spit it out easily when he had the territory in his mouth.

This was unacceptable to Jiangyu. On February 2, the Lianghuai Administration issued a nationwide telegram.

"My revival army sent troops to Shandong to force the Qing emperor to abdicate and destroy the republic. Now that the Qing emperor has abdicated, our army is encouraged from top to bottom. However, the agreement of "preferential treatment of the Qing room" reached by the South-North peace talks is not in line with our army's expulsion. The purpose of the Tartars was to slaughter tens of thousands of my comrades in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and also to dim the Chinese civilization. How can we not avenge blood and blood? Moreover, the Nanjing Provisional Government has made a small contribution since the revolution, but has stolen a high position. Our army does not recognize it. Legitimacy. If the emperor of the Qing Dynasty lives in the deep palace, the disaster of restoration will be caused in the future. Our army should send troops to the Northern Expedition to expel the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, so as to borrow the descendants of the Yellow Springs. When the Han Dynasty is revived, it is hoped that [-] Comrades work together to avoid future troubles! I hope that our Han family will continue to improve and never recover from the misfortune of foreigners."

As soon as this telegram came out, the whole country was in an uproar.

This telegram is the second time since the outbreak of the Revolution of [-] that Jiang Yu was electrified across the country, and it was recognized by later generations as the beginning of Jiang Yu changing his previous nationality and entering the Chinese political arena. [

The Nanjing Provisional Government was in an uproar, and the Yuan Shikai Group in the north was also in an uproar. They looked at this telegram in disbelief.

"What are they going to do? Are they going to go to war with the North and the South at the same time?" Yuan Shikai said angrily. Seeing that the cooked duck was about to be eaten, this troublesome trouble happened again.

"Father, since they are looking for death, then teach them a good lesson. My son will go to Wang Zhaoming (Wang Jingwei) immediately and ask him to contact Nanjing and send troops together to wipe out the rebellious party." Yuan Keding sneered.

Jiang Yu's electrification not only refuted Yuan Shikai, but also offended the Nanjing Provisional Government. Yuan Shikai couldn't help showing a bit of indifference, and nodded to Yuan Keding.

Yuan Keding immediately went to contact the Nanjing Provisional Government and asked the Nanjing government to send troops to Anhui and northern Jiangsu.

As soon as Yuan Keding went to make contact, Yuan Shikai immediately received a telegram that more than a dozen sections of the Tianjin-Dezhou railway were bombed, and it would take at least six days to repair it.

However, the imperial guards were stranded in Tianjin and went south. Yuan Shikai couldn't help being a little upset, and immediately ordered his subordinates to rush to repair the railway and repair the bombed railway as soon as possible.At the same time, the imperial guards were ordered to march on foot and wait in place for six days. If they walked, they could rush to Dezhou to join the braided army in six days.

At the same time, in Jinan, Shandong, after two days of mobilization, the revival army brazenly launched an attack on the Second Association of the Fifth Town of the Beiyang Army outside Jinan on February 2.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sound of cannons shook the sky!

The light of the cannon pierced the night, and amidst the rumbling noise, the Beiyang Army's fifth town barracks fell into a sea of ​​flames.

Many Beiyang Army soldiers who were still asleep were blown to death before they could react.

When the soldiers got up from the bed in a panic, they saw that the barracks had fallen into chaos. In the dark night, soldiers basically couldn't find their generals or generals.

The fierce 75 rapid-fire guns showed their power. Hundreds of 75 rapid-fire guns poured hail into the Beiyang Army barracks at a speed of 15 rounds per minute. Under the attack of these hail, the casualties of Beiyang Army soldiers were one Tragic.

Mixed with the graupel was the high-explosion from the howitzer, which exploded with a bang. Even if you hid behind a bunker, you would still be shocked to death, bleeding from your orifices.

After 10 minutes of shelling, the Beiyang Army barracks had completely collapsed.

Nearly half of the soldiers in the fifth town of the Beiyang Army who were not prepared were killed or injured. After the shelling stopped, the revival army quickly attacked the barracks.

Many soldiers of the Beiyang Army ran away crying for their parents and mothers, and the officers led them to run away.

Beiyang Fifth Town itself became disorganized due to fierce struggles. The reason for this was that the Qing Dynasty used the revolutionary party to deal with Yuan Shikai and recruited Japanese students into the Beiyang Army.

As a result, Shandong became independent for [-] days. After Yuan Shikai launched a counterattack, he pushed out the revolutionary party officers, but the fifth town also fell into internal friction.

At this time, it was suddenly hit by such a violent shelling, and it was not surprising that they collapsed.

The fighting continued until dawn and ended at seven o'clock in the morning.The Second Association of the Fifth Town of the Beiyang Army was completely wiped out outside Jinan by the Renaissance Army. Only a few officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Army escaped, including Wu Dingyuan, commander of the Second Association, and Xu Shuyuan, commander of the Artillery Biaobiao.

In the Second Association of 500 people, more than [-] people were killed, more than [-] people were captured, and more than [-] people were missing.

The first one arrives!
