The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

With the help of Jiang Yu, spn quickly gained absolute administrative power in Zhejiang, and quickly pushed out other forces.

Zhejiang has become a situation under the joint management of the East China Chamber of Commerce of the Restoration Association. Of course, it is mainly the Restoration Association, and the East China Chamber of Commerce does not overly participate.

The East China Chamber of Commerce is more about absorbing elites from all walks of life, and bringing out some interests that seem to be many, but are actually just a drop in the bucket for the Chamber of Commerce to bind them together.

However, in terms of system construction and supervision, the system formulated by Jiangyu is adopted, and naturally it is inseparable from the guidance of the Lianghuai Administration.

The Restoration Association was gradually infiltrated and absorbed by the East China Chamber of Commerce, which also provided greater convenience for Jiang Yu to develop a shipyard in Hangzhou, and also provided many business opportunities for the East China Chamber of Commerce in Zhejiang. [

Zhejiang businessmen also began to join the East China Chamber of Commerce under contact.

East China Electric Power Company, Water Supply Company, Post and Telecommunications Bureau, Telegraph Bureau, and department stores all began to enter Zhejiang in a large scale, and various industrial products of East China Group also began to enter Zhejiang.

East China Railway Company, East China Highway Company, East China Real Estate Company, and East China Construction Company also began to enter Zhejiang, and many projects were soon confirmed.

The Zhejiang local government established by the Restoration Association also began to invest in the construction of water conservancy projects. Coupled with the determination of railways, roads, housing, and power projects, it brought a lot of jobs to the people of Zhejiang.

In southern Jiangsu and Shandong, the situation is similar, but Jiangyu's direct operation is more efficient.

Jiangyu transferred the machinery manufacturing industry to Shandong, and Shandong's agriculture mainly focuses on planting cotton, peanuts and other crops.

At this time, Jiangyu's territory has already controlled Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong, and the eastern part of Henan, which is equivalent to completely controlling China's largest cotton-producing area.

East China Bank began to provide low-interest loans to cotton farmers to encourage them to adopt advanced planting techniques.Of course, the land reform will continue, and agricultural reclamation companies have also begun to enter Shandong and enter the cotton planting field.

Jiang Yu reached a consensus with Yuan Shikai and defeated the Nanjing Provisional Government. At the same time, he formed an alliance with the Zhejiang Restoration Association, and his position became more and more stable.

The Nanjing Provisional Government had to pay the bill for that impulsive attack, and the 500 million taels of compensation made Sun Dapao feel distressed and trembling.

The Nanjing Provisional Government has almost become the participant with the biggest loss, but for Yuan Shikai, there is not much loss. The Guards and the Braided Army themselves belong to the kind of military forces that may bite him back at any time. They were wiped out by the Renaissance Army. Let Yuan Shikai be at ease.

Of course, Yuan Shikai lost the territory in Shandong, but it will not have any impact on his finances for the time being.

On the contrary, the Nanjing Provisional Government lost troops and money, and lost the rich land in southern Jiangsu. At this time, Nanjing was like an isolated island, and the surrounding area became the territory of the Lianghuai Administration.

At this time, the Qing court abdicated, the military conflict between the Renaissance Army, the Beiyang Army, and the Nanjing Provisional Government also came to an end, and the national situation began to develop in a stable direction.

The President of the Nanjing Provisional Government began to urge Yuan Shikai to go south to take office as the first President of the Republic of China.

Sun Dapao naturally had his own wishful thinking. He was willing to give up the position of President because he planned to set up a cage in Nanjing to keep Yuan Shikai, a fierce tiger, in the cage.

However, Yuan Shikai was superior in skills, and immediately complained of illness to the outside world, and refused to go to Nanjing to take office. On March 3, the Beiyang Army mutinied in the north.

Cao Kun led the Beiyang army to loot and smash the streets, and opposed Yuan Shikai's going south to take office.

Obviously, the mutiny launched by Cao Kun was directed by Yuan Shikai behind his back. [

In order to stabilize the situation in China, foreigners naturally did not want to see China fall into chaos again in order to cause losses in China's interests, so they forced the Nanjing Provisional Government to agree to Yuan Shikai's inauguration in Beijing, and Sun Dapao's wishful thinking fell through.

Regarding Sun Dapao's wishful thinking, Jiang Yu can only say that they are stupid and naive.

Yuan Datou is so easy to fool?

The Lianghuai Administration is not at all interested in the inauguration of the president. Jiang Yu is mobilizing manpower, material resources, and financial resources to digest the territories in southern Jiangsu and Shandong.

Sunan's land is not too big, and it is very rich, so it is easier to digest it.What is difficult to digest is the territory of Shandong. There are too many bandits in Shandong.

Bandits in Shandong are the predecessors of bandits in Northeast China. In Shandong, there are two to 3000 large gangs and three to five hundred small ones. They kidnap and rob everywhere.

"Marshal, my subordinates suggest that a large-scale bandit suppression operation be held in Shandong, which will not only eliminate banditry, but also achieve the effect of military training." Jiang Fangzhen suggested to Jiang Yu.

"Well! It is true that these bandits should be dealt with harshly, but the banditry problem cannot be completely solved by military means. We also need to establish a complete militia system in various towns in Shandong, and spread garrisons in areas where the banditry problem is particularly serious. Form a large network with bandits on one side and support from all sides." Jiang Yu said that the reason why bandits are difficult to deal with is because bandits will run away when the regular army advances.

When you stop suppressing them, they jump out again, just as difficult to deal with as psoriasis.

So the focus is still to build a large bandit suppression network.

Jiang Yu then instructed everyone: "In addition to suppressing bandits in Shandong, we also have to ban smoking in Shandong. Anyone who sells tobacco and soil must be severely punished without mercy. The public security, criminal police, anti-narcotics team, and garrison must jointly fight to win Shandong will not see any smoke within a year."

"Yes."

……

On March 3, Yuan Shikai officially took office as the No.25 President of the Republic of China. Jiang Yu sent Sun Zhendong as a representative to attend Yuan Shikai's inauguration ceremony.

According to Sun Zhendong's reaction, Yuan Shikai's expression was very tense when he read the manuscript, which was a little intermittent.

Then when they took a group photo, they pulled two foreigners, Eston and Hua Lei, to his side. Afterwards, Hua Lei happily said to his wife: "President Yuan is so polite, he actually arranged me by his side."

Hua Lei's wife smiled and said, "Yuan Shikai is very afraid that others will throw bombs at him. You and Eston are actually his shields."

~!

It can be seen that Yuan Shikai is still very nervous.

As a military attache who was born in the army, he was naturally nervous that he could climb to the position of the current president.He was particularly afraid that the old and young of the Manchu Qing Dynasty or the revolutionary party would throw bombs at him, which is why the scene of pulling two foreigners to his side as human shields happened.

On the same day, Jiang Yu renamed Huaiyin as "Huai'an County" in Huaiyin, and moved the administrative center to Suzhou, a water city. This is a poetic city. Water and gardens are the soul of this city. It is the best administrative center. up.

In Huaiyin, Wuhu and other places, it is good to develop industries, but it is not suitable to put administration there, and Suzhou is not far from Shanghai, which will be the financial center of China in the future. [

After nearly two years of preparation, the Huai'an Military Academy was formally established.

On the day when the Huai'an Military Academy was officially established, nearly [-] literati applicants participated in the establishment ceremony after several months of advertisements in newspapers and sending people to various colleges and universities to promote it.
