Chapter 108: Examination (5)
The investigation in Tianjin City was basically over, and Qin Zheng immediately led everyone, still protected by Luo Yue, and returned to the concession.
At this time, the reserve army and naturalized people who came by land had set up more than forty tents in the Victorian garden, and the size of the camp had also expanded several times, and some reserve soldiers had begun to guard in the concession under the assignment of Qin Yuhai, because there were more people now, so the pressure on the army had also been reduced a lot.
After Qin Zheng came back, Qin Yuhai first reported to Qin Zheng that he had notified the British people in Gordon Hall, asking them to pack up their things tonight and prepare to move out of Gordon Hall tomorrow, and announced to the residents gathered in Gordon Hall that they would be interrogated and registered tomorrow, and then they would all be put back to their residences to live. At the same time, Qin Yuhai ordered people to be stationed in Gordon Hall, and sealed all the warehouses and warehouses of Gordon Hall.
Originally, the people living in Gordon Hall at this time were a little panicked, not knowing what would be the outcome waiting for them, Bi Jing now had no power to resist, and could only be slaughtered by others. And after listening to Qin Yuhai's announcement, although they were still skeptical, they were somewhat relieved.
After listening to Qin Yuhai's report, the two accompanying engineers, Tang Ruqun and Liu Hao, also reported to Qin Zheng.
On the way to Tianjin, the two people have carried out an inspection along the road, according to the results of the two examinations, the road leading to Tianjin from Dagukou is basically made of soil compaction, only a few sections are paved with gravel, which can only be equivalent to the four-level highway in the old time and space, and the road surface quality can only be regarded as low-level, and the width can only be regarded as two lanes. In this way, the road is acceptable for horse-drawn carriages and small cars, but if you want to pass large vehicles, it is obviously unqualified.
So the couple proposed that the road be rebuilt, but still based on the original road, with potholes filled, then recompacted, and widened on both sides to a width of four lanes, with a shoulder to protect it. And in the case that there is no cement, asphalt and other pavement paving materials at present, the pavement can be paved with gravel concrete clay, lime and other timber villages, re-compacted, and the local damage is seriously damaged in the area needs to be renovated and redone, so that the construction period can be reduced, the cost is saved, and although it is still the standard of the four-level highway after completion, the pavement quality can reach the level of the intermediate road. In addition, cement or asphalt can be produced later, which can be paved directly on the road surface and upgraded the road to a secondary road.
Therefore, Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng, and Xu Jichao immediately recruited other executive members and alternate executive members to discuss the management and construction plan of Tianjin City and the concession.
Before dinner, the final result of the discussion was reached, starting with the determination of five major principles:
1. Announced the formal establishment of the provisional government of Tianjin, managed the administrative affairs of Tianjin, recovered the Tianjin concession and Tianjin customs, and belonged to the crossing group.
2. The Gordon Hall of the Concession was confiscated as the administrative office of the Crossing Group in Tianjin, and the Gordon Hall was modernized, mainly laying circuits and installing power supply equipment in the Gordon Hall.
3 began to recruit troops in Tianjin to expand the military force of the crossing group, and the detailed arrangements were discussed and decided by the military committee.
4. Set up a special shelter to appease the fugitive former Tianjin residents to return to Tianjin to settle down, help the returning residents find job opportunities, let them support themselves, and take the opportunity to redefine the administrative area of Tianjin, establish and improve the administrative institutions at all levels of the crossing group, and redistribute Tianjin's land and property. Establish a tax system and customs tax system belonging to the crossing group, and give due consideration to the establishment of a number of factories and industries in Tianjin, so as to support and improve the circulation economy in Tianjin.
5. According to the suggestions of Tang Ruqun and Liu Hao, the road from Dagukou to Tianjin was rebuilt.
In addition, the management plan for the concession is:
1. Immediately start the examination and registration of the personnel in the concession, and those who pass the examination can be immediately released to live in their homes. The night ban is implemented on the concession, and during the period from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., you can move freely in the concession, if you need to go out for work reasons, you need to apply for a temporary night permit, and if you find that you are out of the night ban and there is no temporary night permit, you will be arrested and punished.
2. The hospitals, waterworks, urban cleaning and telegraph offices in the concession will be opened first, while the rest of the shops shall declare their assets to the crossing group and be examined, and the corresponding business licenses will be issued after approval, and they will be allowed to open for business. All churches in the concession are temporarily closed to the public.
3. At this stage, it is forbidden for concession personnel, boats, and vehicles to go out, and if someone needs to go out, they need to apply to the government, and the government will issue a temporary travel permit before they can go out, otherwise they will be arrested and punished.
4. Plan the construction of the concession and gradually begin to improve the building and public facilities in the concession.
The management plan for Tianjin City is as follows:
1. Review and register the personnel in Tianjin, and establish a sound household registration system and urban management system.
2. Clean up the construction waste, abandoned and dilapidated houses in Tianjin, and build new houses appropriately according to the return of the population.
3. Improve the drainage, sanitation facilities, and public facilities in Tianjin, and establish a sound sanitation system to force residents to develop hygiene habits.
Subsequently, Qin Zheng, Wang Yunpeng, and Xu Jichao jointly sent the formulated management and construction plan for Tianjin City and the concession to Dagukou and handed it over to Xia Bohai, Xiao Jianjun, and the executive committee members and alternate executive members who remained in Dagukou for discussion.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the Dagukou side replied to Tianjin, basically agreeing with the results of the discussions on the Tianjin side, but believed that the establishment of the provisional government of Tianjin and the resumption of customs should be delayed for the time being.
Because these two articles are too sensitive, if we talk about the recovery of Dagukou, Tianjin, and the concession, or even the abolition of the concession, the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, and other institutions, it can still be said from the perspective of China. However, if the establishment of the provisional government of Tianjin and the recovery of the customs, it is tantamount to self-reliance as the king, if the establishment of the provisional government of the Tianjin area can also be explained by expediency, then the recovery of the customs is unjustifiable, although at this time the customs of the Qing court are controlled by foreigners, but in the name of the customs is still an institution belonging to the Qing court, and the foreigners working in the customs are theoretically employees of the Qing court, so if the customs are taken back now, it is obviously unreasonable.
Although the ultimate goal of the time-travelers is to overthrow the rule of the Pure Court and establish a republic, at this time, it is not possible to make this goal public. Because the traversers still need the fig leaf of Chunting at the moment to occupy the Daimyo Wound.
On the other hand, although the traversers have achieved a lot of victories at present, including the Battle of Tianjin, which is a crucial victory, the crossing army has not yet achieved overwhelming military superiority, because the Eight-Nation Coalition has not hurt its vitality, and now the German fleet is coming, so the Eight-Nation Coalition still has considerable resistance ability. It was only after the crossing army defeated the German fleet that the illusions of the Eight-Nation Coalition were completely dispelled, and the military superiority of the crossing army reached its peak at that time, and it was almost the time to announce the establishment of the provisional government in Tianjin and take back the customs. After all, at that point, the traversers can do whatever they want.
Therefore, the Dagukou side believes that the provisional government of Tianjin should not be established for the time being, and that the concession area should still be managed in the name of the provisional executive committee. Ignore the customs for the time being, and only restrict the actions of the customs. Bijing Tianjin is a circulation-oriented economy, and now the crossing group has cut off Tianjin's external contacts, which basically cut off the business of the customs. Anyway, I'll leave it alone for the time being, and wait until the German fleet is defeated.
As for the construction of the concession and the city of Tianjin, the Dagukou side believes that in addition to rebuilding the road from Dagukou to Tianjin, it is not appropriate to carry out other large-scale construction and investment, because it is a construction investment that is technically difficult and consumes a lot of resources, and only some small projects such as the renovation of Gordon Hall or indispensable supporting facilities should be carried out. Because the resources currently at the disposal of the crossing group are limited, and Tianjin is only a temporary station in the plan of the crossing group, even if Tianjin will not be abandoned in the future, it will not be used as a formal base, so there is no need for large-scale construction at this stage.
However, the road from Dagukou to Tianjin is very important, because Tianjin is a circulation-oriented economy, and although it has been cut off from the outside world, it will definitely be reopened after defeating the German fleet. Although Tianjin has the advantage of Haihe River navigation, the Haihe River is a small river after all, and the transportation volume is limited, so the construction of a high-quality highway to complement the navigation of the Haihe River, whether in terms of economy or military, is completely necessary for the current crossing group. Moreover, it is not very difficult to build a fourth-class highway with an intermediate-quality pavement, and the resources used can also be easily obtained, and now the number of captives passing through the group has reached more than 5,000 people, and it would be a pity if such abundant human resources are not used.
However, although the construction can not be carried out, but the planning of the Tianjin area can be carried out in advance, after all, only planning does not occupy any resources, just need to feast manpower, there are a lot of talents in this area in the crossing group, and now the vast majority of the crossing personnel have nothing to do, idle and boring, so it is good to find something to do for them.
After receiving Dagukou's reply, Qin Zheng and others immediately started a discussion overnight, and finally believed that Dagukou's proposal was more thoughtful and should be accepted. After all, the listing is just a name, as long as the traversers actually control Tianjin. Therefore, everyone immediately replied to Dagukou, expressing their basic agreement with Dagukou's opinions, and asking Dagukou to immediately organize relevant technical personnel and materials to prepare for construction.
