I would like to thank His Majesty Su Beipo and the monthly ticket reward of the Lord who is looking for the lost footprints, and the lower officials will work hard to update it and live up to the high expectations of the officials!

The history of the naval battle in the Sea of Japan has long been written in the history books, and Wu Chenxuan does not care about classic battles such as Dongxiang's "Great Turn in front of the enemy". is like a brain-dead idol drama that knows the ending, there is really no need to pay attention to it to bury your appetite.

When the two main fleets of Japan and Russia worth more than 100 million yuan were fighting to the death in the Sea of Japan, Wu Chenxuan, who had been hiding in the Modern Hotel, was drinking tea with a slightly restrained young businessman in the VIP room at the moment.

"By the way, Boss Wu, I haven't asked you for words, I've been calling him by his name, it's too disrespectful, right?"

"Where, where, adults can remember the cheap name, the grass people are already fortunate for three lives. The grass people have never been to school since they were young, so they don't have a font size, so please ask the adults to greet the small cheap name. The young businessman wanted to stand up again, but Wu Chenxuan hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for him to continue sitting and drinking tea.

"Boss Wu, you are doing good, good, good will be rewarded, and you will be lucky in trouble. Why don't I give you a word, it's called "Baixiang", do you think you can still make it? ”

"Baixiang, Pepsi auspicious, good, good" The young businessman stood up, took two steps and knelt on the ground, kowtowed, "The grass people thank the adults for giving the word, and the grass people will be called Wu Baixiang from now on." ”

"It's good if you're satisfied, Baixiang. Will your business be smooth after our army enters the city? ”

"My lord is tolerant, the army entered the city with strict discipline, and there was no crime in autumn, and the people all praised it. Businesses have also opened one after another, but most of the Russians' business that they used to do has not been straightened out for a while. However, with adults in charge, after a while, it will naturally be better to come to the market. Don't hide it from the adults, the small ones and a few proprietors feel that this multinational co-management is a good opportunity, and the business travel is not much more expensive, as long as the merchants have frequent exchanges of goods, the market will naturally prosper. So the little ones learn that foreigners plan to set up a department store together, and I heard that the number one prosperous place on the ground in the Qing Dynasty is the Daguanyuan shopping mall in Jinan Mansion, and they plan to go to Jinan Mansion to steal a teacher, hehe. ”

The guards behind the "flutter" almost laughed, and the young businessman didn't dare to look back, so he quickly lowered his head and wondered if he had said the wrong thing.

Looking at the nervous Wu Zuoshan, Wu Chenxuan also laughed at himself, daring to love this person who only knew one thing but didn't know the other, and only knew that he was the commander of the new army, the lord of Shandong Domain, and the actual poinsettia top of the imperial court, but he didn't know that he was still the chairman of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, and the Grand View Garden was his own industry. This thing said in front of the master's family that he was going to steal the teacher, which was too witty, no wonder the guards who came out of Jinan Mansion with him sneered.

"It's a great idea to run a department store. If you want to learn the management of the Grand View Garden, you don't have to, so I will say hello to the other owners of the Grand View Garden, and let you go to the shopping mall supervisors for three or two months, and they will still give me the majority shareholder this face. As for the factory, don't give up, I think the way of the front store and the factory is quite applicable, in fact, there are a lot of products of the Grand View Garden, and there are more than a dozen factories on the three major roads and four major roads alone, and most of the daily necessities are produced in these factories, and they can also make some small repairs and small changes according to the needs of customers. There is also the seasonal purchase in the village is also very important, the people who go to the mall to buy things are mostly rich children, the taste is not ordinary, such as tea, you sell him is local coarse tea, no matter how good it is, it is useless, he wants Longjing, we can purchase from Hangzhou Zhuzhuang to the Ming Dynasty, he wants oolong, we can purchase the first-class red robe from Fujian Zhuzhuang. As for personnel management, we should also be careful, workers, wages can not be low, the key is to keep up with training, and we must be willing to spend money to educate and retain talents. As for the senior staff, it is necessary to learn the Shanxi ticket number, not only to have a high salary, but also to have stocks, dividends, and to tie the interests of these backbones to the shopping mall, not afraid that they don't have to think about it. There is also this promotion, giving gift certificates, which can not only collect customers, but also use funds for free, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. In addition, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, this shopping mall publicity must keep up, advertisements, color pages, leaflets, what we have, we have to come to Harbin to feel that if you don't go to your shopping mall, even if you come to the mall in vain. By the way, and in terms of inventory control, I think you can explore economic inventory, that is, you can't run out of stock too little, and you don't bet on funds......"

Wu Baixiang began to hear that the Grand View Garden he planned to steal from the master was actually the property of this red-topped adult, and he was almost scared. However, Master Wu's trick of opening a shopping mall made Wu Baixiang fascinated, and he only hated that he didn't bring paper and pen for fear of missing anything, so he had to stare at the beads and forcibly memorize, while memorizing and pondering. In the end, Wu Baixiang simply knelt down again, kowtowed three times, and performed a master-apprentice ceremony.

Wu Baixiang, who is nearly 30 years old, was born in He Xinzhuang, Leting County, Hebei Province, and studied in the village for 5 years in his childhood. Due to the poverty of his family, he could not afford to continue his studies, so he went to Changchun with his father at the age of 14 and studied in a grain and rice store. Twenty-four-year-old Wu Baixiang came to Harbin alone and began his entrepreneurial career. He first started a small business in the streets and alleys, and later worked as a street vendor, during which there were also ups and downs. This year, Wu Baixiang, with the help of his cousin Zhao Chantang, scraped together 500 rubles and was planning to start running a commercial department store again. Unexpectedly, the Wuyi New Army that occupied Harbin was invited to the Modern Hotel in Harbin, and as if sleepwalking, he saw the commander of the Wuyi New Army, Wu Chenxuan, who was the top of the second grade, and he didn't expect that he, a little-known little person, would be added to the blue eyes of Lord Wu and teach himself the way of management.

However, since Wu Baixiang can become a business tycoon in Harbin in the future, his mind is naturally very bright. In addition to being excited, he also had some guesses about Lord Wu's purpose. But soon Wu Chenxuan put it up straight to the point. Because the Chinese directors in the joint management committee are too old and mediocre to be of great use. Therefore, he planned to let Wu Baixiang join in, naturally representing his interests Wu Chenxuan. As for the steward of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce in Zhuang, he cannot participate in the management because of his status, otherwise it will inevitably arouse the disgust of the locals. As for Wu Baixiang's industry is too small, it is not a problem at all, Wu Chenxuan contacted the Shandong Chamber of Commerce in Zhuang, secretly transferred 100,000 taels of silver into the shares, so that Wu Baixiang accounted for 30% of the shares, and claimed that it was Wu Baixiang Holdings, and on the same day raised capital to expand shares and set up a "Da Luoxin" department store. Wu Baixiang is a smart man, and he knows everything well, so with the secret assistance of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, a young Chinese business tycoon rises in the ice city.

In October of that year, the "Da Luo Xin Global Department Store" on Central Street was officially opened for business, and a series of combinations were brought down, and great benefits were achieved that year. The following year, a large shopping mall that exceeded the scale of "Da Luoxin" was built in Nangang District - Tongji Shopping Mall. Tongji Shopping Mall has been open for one year, with a turnover of more than 800,000 yuan and two silvers, ranking first among Harbin firms. Tongji's chain factories have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, Tongji hat factory, Tongji iron factory, Tongji shoe factory, Tongji pastry factory, and even soon developed to Tongji travel agency, Tongji insurance club, Tongji power plant, etc., it can be said that Harbin wants to find a ground without Tongji, and as the richest man with assets, Wu Baixiang soon became the chief director of the joint management committee, and became the loyal agent of Shandong Chamber of Commerce and Wu Chenxuan in Northeast China.

In this war, although the Russians still pinned their hopes on naval battles, they naturally suffered losses on land. The stupid bear of Tsarist Russia has never suffered such a big loss, so naturally he wants to find a way back, and if he can't beat the Japanese little pigtail, he will find the stubble of the big braid of the Qing Kingdom. Of course, in this matter, the Great Qing Kingdom is not a blank slate. The Great Qing Kingdom, which declared neutrality, was actually deeply hostile to Lao Maozi, after all, Lao Maozi was the most ugly to eat, not to mention the land of the Great Qing Kingdom that he swallowed, and also occupied the land of Longxing and the last retreat in the Northeast, if it were not for the Japanese to take the initiative to provoke, most of the Great Qing Kingdom would have lost the ancestral mausoleum. In this case, it is understandable that some of the Qing courtiers who were already pro-Japanese had some small actions.

Before the outbreak of the war, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters dispatched the Japanese army Osa Aoki Xuanjun, who had been an instructor of the Beiyang Army, to come to China urgently in the capacity of deputy military attache of the embassy to discuss with Yuan Datou the joint organization of intelligence agencies and the recruitment of "horse thieves" in Northeast China with Yuan Datou.

Later, Aoki Xuanchun and Yuan Shikai reached an agreement on espionage cooperation, and Yuan Datou selected dozens of capable non-commissioned officers from the Beiyang Army to form a joint detective team with them. Most of these Beiyang officers graduated from military schools such as the Surveying and Mapping School, so their work was quite effective. Originally, there was Wu Peifu, who later became the leader of the direct warlords, he was originally an officer of the staff office of the Beiyang Supervision and Training Office, after participating in the espionage activities of the Japanese army, he went in and out of the northeast several times, and his work was well received, during which he was captured by the Russian army, but refused to confess, and escaped by jumping out of the car after being sentenced to death, and was promoted to the rank of captain after the war, and the Japanese army awarded him a medal. However, now that Wu Ziyu is already the rule of a town, and he led the army to capture Harbin, he will not die for the rank of captain for the sake of the Oriental people.

At the same time, the Zhili Governor's Office also transmitted information on the Northeast and Mongolia to the Tianjin Garrison Headquarters every day through Lao Yuan's Japanese adviser Sakanishi Rihachiro. In addition, the Japanese army's intelligence work in Yantai, Shandong Province, was also supported by Yuan Shikai and his Beiyang Army.

In addition, the Qing army provided explosives and financial assistance to the Japanese army's "special task squad" to attack and harass the Russian army. A surviving member of the fourth squad of the "special task squad" recalled that when they were carrying out the task of sabotaging the Tieling and Changtu railways, they received help from Ma Yukun, the governor of Zhili, who led the army to defend the neutral zone in western Liaoning. Admiral Ma Yukun provided him with "a large amount of explosives" and several thousand taels of silver for his activities, and the two sides also agreed on a code so that the members of the special task force could escape into the Qing army barracks and obtain shelter in case of danger. Admiral also promised to send officers to assist him in recruiting horse thieves, etc. Of course, all this may be because the evil deeds of the Japanese have not yet been exposed, and Lao Maozi's three-year rule in the Northeast has long been angry and resentful, and God is disgusted with ghosts.

Since the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, in addition to the more than 30,000 soldiers of the Wuyi New Army who directly participated in the front line in the name of the Manchurian Volunteer Army, more than 20,000 Qing troops have been transferred to Fengtian. As for the local regimental training, its duty is mainly to defend the township, and at this time when the hometown is in a tragic situation, it is natural that it cannot stay out of the situation. As soon as the Russo-Japanese War broke out, there was a "rumor that the local regimental training in Jidongyu in the Liaojie region would help Japan suppress Russia."

On May 7, 1904, the Russian army accused "the Chinese team south of the Xingjing Hall of the Chinese army to attack the Russians with the Japanese." The appearance of the Chinese ** forces on the battlefield of the Russo-Japanese War made the Qing government very panicked, so it strongly denied it, and Zengqi immediately asked the Russian army to provide the following exact information: "The Chinese team stationed south of the Xingjing Hall belongs to a certain county, what is the name of the place, what is the name of the leading officer, and how many people are there?" He also said: "There must be solid evidence, and it is not allowed to speculate on things with doubts, and generalize them." ”

On December 28, 1904, the Russian minister sent a note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Qing government: "On November 18, 200 Japanese troops and 300 Chinese attacked the Russian army at Taipingling. The Qing court designated the Fengtian authorities to investigate, and the result simply replied with "all the searches in the territory of Kuandian, and there is no place name in Taipingling". In the end, the defeated Russian army had no choice but to suffer a loss.

As for the Wuyi New Army, which hung the brand of the Manchurian Volunteer Army, because of its brave combat and advanced equipment, it was deliberately ignored by the Russian army as a Japanese pretending to be a Qing Chinese and carrying out a plan to sow discord. At that time, the volunteers entered the war in Korea and fought for more than three years, with hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides, and China insisted that the soldiers were all volunteers to participate in the war, which was a civilian action, not a state act, and China and the United States did not declare war on each other until an armistice agreement was signed in five or three years.

Moreover, from beginning to end, no one in the Wuyi New Army was captured by the Russian army, so the Russian army has no evidence that the Wuyi New Army officially participated in the war against Russia, and in the end it had to be confused. Of course, this vicious bear is not much bigger than the Japanese with a small heart, and it is difficult to say whether it will trouble the Qing people again after recovering from its injuries in the future.
