Jagged Warlord

Three people and one force were very dissatisfied with this personnel arrangement.Three people refer to Feng Guozhang, Zhang Huaizhi and Zhao Ti, and one force refers to the Japanese.

The reason why Feng Guozhang was dissatisfied was because the governor of Jiangsu was Feng Guozhang himself, but the two important towns in northern Jiangsu, Xuzhou and Haizhou, were in the hands of Li Mohan.You, a Shandong governor, occupy the territory of Jiangsu Province, what do you mean?Li Mohan's explanation for this is that in addition to being the governor of Shandong, I, Li Mohan, am also a patrol envoy of the Yangtze River. Xuzhou and Haizhou belong to the Yangtze River Basin, so of course I have the authority to govern.

At this time, Zhao Ti, the governor of Henan, jumped out again, saying that you, Li Mohan, are the patrol envoy of the Yangtze River, and Xuzhou and Haizhou belong to the Yangtze River Basin, so you have the right to govern.So Shangqiu, which belongs to Henan, is not the Yangtze River Basin, right?Why do you still hold onto it?Li Mohan's explanation is that I have been in business in Shangqiu for many years, and I have a family and a business, so I can't just leave.There are so many pots and pans, even if you want to move, you have to give me time, right?Dujun Zhao, don't worry, I'll write you an IOU, and Shangqiu will count as my temporary loan, how about it?

Zhao Ti is so angry, this is basically Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou.But he was obviously not an opponent of the SS, even if Zhao Ti was furious, he could only vent it in Luoyang.As for Zhang Huaizhi, he was even more annoyed. Originally, the position of Shandong Governor was definitely his own, but Duan Qirui suddenly changed his mind, which made him happy for nothing.Zhang Huaizhi doesn't hate Duan Qirui, but only hates Li Mohan.

In addition, the Japanese are also very dissatisfied with Li Mohan's appointment as the governor of Shandong.In his telegram to Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma, Hiki called Li Mohan a very fanatical nationalist who harbored inexplicable hatred and hostility towards the Great Japanese Empire.If this person is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Shandong, the expansion of the Great Japanese Empire in Shandong will definitely be greatly hindered.

For this reason, Niichiyi put forward several suggestions to hinder Li Mohan's development in Shandong.The first is to obstruct the Chinese Revolutionary Party's army from accepting the current Chinese government's incorporation; the second is to buy the bandits in Shandong and create chaos in Shandong, creating the illusion that Li Mohan is not enough to maintain the order and stability of Shandong; the third is to use Li Mohan in Sanqiwu The landlord's rebellion caused by rent reduction and land redemption created a huge amount of public opinion and forced Li Mohan to surrender; fourth, to win over other people or forces who are dissatisfied with Li Mohan.

Okuma Shigenobu expressed his approval of Niichi Yi's suggestion, and hinted that he can let it go, and he will definitely support him fully to ensure Japan's expansion in Shandong.

At the same time, Li Mohan is also making intensive arrangements for his entry into Shandong.The first thing he did was to negotiate with Ju Zheng, the commander of the Northeast Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, and Wu Dazhou, the commander of the Shandong Guard Army. The content of the negotiation was naturally the fate of these two armies.

Li Mohan agreed that the place of negotiation between the two parties would be in Jinan, the representative sent by Juzheng was Lu Ziren, and Wu Dazhou also sent a representative to participate.But Beijing immediately expressed its opposition to such contentious negotiations.Duan Qirui believes that Li Mohan is only the governor of Shandong, and such negotiations should be made by the Ministry of the Army.

The generals of the SS army were a little angry at Duan Qirui's arrogance, and asked Li Mohan to resist.Li Mohan was not in a hurry to express his opinion. According to his memory, the issue of the deployment of the Northeast Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Party in Shandong had been negotiated for half a year. Hybrid brigade.The rest of the soldiers and horses who joined the Overseas Chinese Volunteer Team were directly dismissed, and most of them returned to foreign countries.Soon afterwards, Wu Dazhou was deceived by Duan Qirui to go to Beijing under the guise of Li Yuanhong, and was sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes such as lax military discipline. He died in prison less than a year ago at the age of 32.

After comprehensive consideration, Li Mohan decided not to participate in this matter for the time being, but to win over famous local business people in Shandong as his top priority.

After the Second Opium War, with the opening of Yantai, Qingdao, Jinan and other cities one after another, Shandong has strengthened its connection with the international market.Coupled with the Westernization Movement and a series of constructions of the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty, Shandong's industry and commerce have a good foundation.

In terms of mining, Shandong is hilly and rich in mineral deposits.According to surveys in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Shandong has a total of more than a dozen kinds of mineral deposits such as coal, iron, gold, silver, copper, lead, antimony, sulfur, diamonds, and magnetite. , The annual profit is 70, and the profit is 87.5%, making it one of the more successful coal mines.

In terms of military industry, there are two arsenals in Dexian and Jinan;

In terms of textile industry, Juzhou Guan Jianhou creates and weaves the layout, and the products are transported and sold to other places through merchants and contractors;

As for the silk reeling industry, there are four hand reeling factories in Linqu successively: Detai, Tianzengyi, Hengyu and Yongyuan.Among them, Detai has a capital of 4 yuan, 5 reeling machines, and an annual production of 40 catties of silk.Tianzengyi has a capital of 2000 yuan, 10 reeling cars, and an annual silk production of 60 catties.Hengyu has a capital of 3000 yuan, 8 reeling machines, and an annual silk production of 60 catties.Yongyuan has a capital of 2500 yuan, 3 reeling machines, and an annual silk production of 50 jin.The earliest silk reeling factory in Qingzhou was Yuxiangfu established in 2400 with a capital of 1909 yuan. In 20, three factories, Yitaichang, Lihengtai and Jufengtai, were established, among which Yitaichang had a capital of 1910 yuan, 3 reeling machines, and an annual silk production of 1.5 jin.Lihengtai and Jufengtai each have a capital of 30 yuan, 1400 reeling cars, and an annual production of 2 catties of silk.

Straw hat braids, lace and hair.Since modern times, due to the stimulation of foreign market demand and increased exports, emerging industries such as straw hat braids, lace, and hair have developed rapidly in Shandong.Straw hat braids are the raw material for making straw hats, which are made of straw.The straw hat braiding industry in Shandong started around 1862. It was limited to Yantai at first, and then gradually spread to many coastal and inland areas.By the end of the Qing Dynasty, straw hat braids had become one of the main sources of income for the people in central and northern Shandong. , about 1910 million yuan in 1300, most of which were sold to Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries.

Corresponding to it is the rapid rise of Lushang Group.Back then, after seeing the consequences brought about by the influx of foreign capital, Lu businessmen embarked on the road of developing national industry without hesitation.However, due to the limitations of Zhoucun, they had to turn their attention to Jinan after the opening of the port.Not only the national capital represented by Lu merchants, but after the opening of Jinan, it also attracted a large amount of foreign capital.Many foreign products have never been developed in China or have not been developed on a large scale. Such products have greatly stimulated the development of China's national industry.At the same time, advanced foreign production methods and management experience have impacted the limitations of Jinan's traditional economy...

All this has enabled Jinan to develop in just a few decades, and at the same time it has received strong support from national capital represented by Lu businessmen.In fact, foreign capital played only a supporting role in the economic development of Jinan after the opening of the port. What really dominated the commercial port of Jinan was the national capital represented by Lu merchants who were good at learning and came from behind.

In the early years of the Republic of China, with the renewal of the political system and the change of social atmosphere, the status of industry and commerce was further improved.In the face of foreign economic aggression, especially the pressure of Japanese capital, the economic nationalism consciousness of industrial and commercial people has been greatly strengthened, and people with lofty ideals in society have devoted themselves to industrial and commercial undertakings, and the concept of saving the country through industry has penetrated into the hearts of the people.It is against this background that since "the founding of the Republic of China, the industry and commerce have flourished, ... Jinan's industry and commerce has grown rapidly."The power of the bourgeoisie grows further along with economic development, and with the gradual entry of new industrial and commercial capitalists into the upper management of various guilds, while merchants adopt advanced management and management methods, their own quality and value concepts are also gradually improved and changed. It brings a wider field of view.

In August 1912, the Jinan Chamber of Commerce held a public vote in the Shanshan Guild Hall to elect new members.The upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce underwent large-scale adjustments. The original gentry and merchants were replaced by new businessmen. Shi Shaoxian, the Consul of Dayou Bank, was elected as the Prime Minister of the Chamber of Commerce. After the election, "Shandong Jinan Chamber of Commerce" was renamed "Shandong Jinan General Chamber of Commerce".

Since Li Mohan didn't want to give the Shandong business circles the impression that he was overpowering others, he asked Shi Shao, the prime minister of Shandong Jinan General Chamber of Commerce, to come and discuss with Mu Xiangyue and Wang Jiang in the name of the general manager of Huashang Company and Huashang Bank. Shandong's industrial and commercial development plans.

Shi Shaoxian's real name is Shi Pixu, and his nickname is Shaoxian. He is from Qianjing Village in Zhangqiu. Because he is the fifth among his brothers, others usually call him "Fifth Shi".Shi Shaoxian is 55 years old this year, with black and white hair and a strong body.When he received the post from Mu Xiangyue and Wang Jiang, he happened to be visiting relatives in Zhangqiu's hometown.Shi Shao took the post first, and quickly rushed from his hometown in Zhangqiu to Jinan.

Mu Xiangyue and Wang Jiang went to greet him outside the city in person. As soon as he saw the dusty Shi Shaoxian, Mu Xiangyue stepped forward to salute, "Fifth Master Shi, I'm really sorry for asking your boss to come all the way."

Shi Shaoxian laughed and said, "How much is this old bone of mine worth? If I can do a few practical things for colleagues in Shandong's industrial and commercial circles, I will die in peace."

Wang Jiang said with a smile: "Master Shi Wu is in the heyday of Spring and Autumn, how can you say such unlucky words about life and death? The major events in Shandong are still waiting for Master Shi Wu to assist you."

Shi Shao got out of the carriage first, and got into the car that came to pick him up.The driver drove very slowly and the car was very smooth.

Shi Shao first asked: "Which country's foreign car is this? It's very comfortable to sit on."

Mu Xiangyue replied: "You always don't know, this is produced by our Huashang Vehicle Factory. Except for the rubber wheels, they are all domestic products."

"Oh?" Shi Shaoxian opened his mouth into an O shape, "Many textile mills and silk reeling factories in Shandong use your silk reeling machines and textile machines made by Huashang. Now Guibao can make foreign cars?"

Mu Xiangyue said: "We can make a lot of good things. You are too busy that day, so I will take you to Shangqiu and Xuzhou."

Shi Shao smiled first, and said, "No hurry, no hurry. We'd better go see Lord Overseer first."
