Chapter 155: Inspecting the Places
After three months of turmoil, the three islands in the South Seas have finally calmed down a bit, and most of their work is on track, at least on the surface.
Secretly there were still turbulent waves, and the Dutch were not willing to accept their own defeat, bribed and colluded with various princely states to cause rebellion, and even sometimes attacked the Chinese fleet by pretending to be pirates, hindering the normal development of the three islands in the South Seas.
Chen Xuan is naturally not easy to get along with, the Dutch are secretly making stumbling blocks, Chen Xuan also planned several armed uprisings in Java, the envoy of the Governor's Palace came to condemn Lan Fang, Lan Fang naturally denied it, and also sent the evidence of the Dutch colluding with the princes to rebel and pretending to be pirates to the Dutch envoy.
Naturally, the Dutch envoy also refused to admit it, but there was no accountability.
Moreover, with the cooperation of the special operations brigade, the pro-guard regiment pacified the five princely states with lightning speed, and thousands of native soldiers were captured and became cheap labor for the road construction team, and these indigenous nobles also had to change into gorgeous clothes and work day and night at various construction sites to pay off their debts.
Originally, the composition of the pro-guard regiment was to transfer elites from various military regions, as well as a large number of advanced equipment, and the welfare was also the best.
During the armed uprising, the pro-guard regiment has been undertaking security tasks, so it did not go to war, and there was a lot of talk behind it, and I had already held my breath in my heart.
"Marshal, under the fierce blows of the pro-guard regiment, these princely states have really converged a lot, and three of them have even been so frightened that they have to go down the mountain and surrender."
Chen Guofu got the battle report of the Guards Regiment and said happily to Chen Xuan.
"Telegraph the order of the pro-guard team to be a special operations brigade, stop the attack for the time being, see who comes first, and whoever takes the lead will hit whom, and the princely nobles who go down the mountain should not treat them badly, except for confiscating their armaments and reorganizing their army, do not move them, if they have the ability, they can even serve as Lanfang officials."
"Yes!"
A few days after Chen Guofu arrived at Chen Xuan's side, the new-style military salute was already decent.
The territory was temporarily settled, and Chen Xuan was also going to carry out his inspection plan, so he transferred a battalion of more than 400 people to the pro-guard regiment, and called Han Xu, Zhang Jian, Song Jiaoren, Tang Shouqian and Yu Qiaqing, and began to inspect various places.
Although Lan Fang is vigorously building roads, but such a large project is not completed overnight, most of the road sections have not been opened, so they can only travel on horseback, Nanyang Group has exchanged a lot of horses in Arabia with grain and industrial products over the years, and the suitable ones have been transported to China to be stallions, and the rest are left for military use.
The speed of the group is not fast, every day to travel 4-50 kilometers to stop, all the way to inspect the agricultural area, plantation and mining, the thriving scene is gratifying, under the organization of Liang Luyi and Bao Youting, the new officials are also working hard, the administrative efficiency is not bad, the work of each construction site is carried out in an orderly manner.
The arrival of Chen Xuan's team also provided a lot of help to various construction sites, and constantly corrected the previous plan deviations and improved these plans.
Stopping and stopping all the way, half a month later, I finally arrived at the place where Chen Xuan commanded the uprising and changed its name to Jinling, now Jinling is no longer a small manor, countless Chinese-style buildings have risen from the ground, and the central Dazheng Palace. Serious, it's just that some roads have not been opened and the information is not smooth enough, so Lanfang's leadership team has not moved over, but you can imagine what Jinling, which is planned to be the political center of the three islands of the South Seas, will look like in the future.
The crowd visited the unfinished Dazheng Palace, as well as the Martyrs' Shrine, the Confucian Temple and the Wushen Temple, which occupy a large area, as well as museums, libraries, science and technology museums and the Great Hall.
Zhang Jian, Tang Shouqian and others looked at the effect sand table in the center of the main hall of Dazheng Palace, and were very satisfied with the design of Jinling, and also put forward some suggestions for modification, adding buildings with Chinese cultural characteristics such as the City God Temple, making the new Jinling City more Chinese cultural atmosphere.
After three more days, arrived at the coastal city of Lin'an, the development of Lin'an is still amazing, many domestic businesses gathered in Lin'an, to Lin'an government. The government buys land, builds its own buildings, shops, cargo stations, etc., and Zhenhua's Nanyang Group, Changjiang Group, Hongyuan Automobile and so on also build their own commercial buildings here.
Yu Qiaqing's Siming Group, Zhang Jian's Dasheng Group, Pacific Department Store and many other big businessmen have invested heavily here, and a commercial and financial center similar to Greater Shanghai has taken shape.
New Lin'an is located in the center of several large islands, so the commercial development is not necessarily worse than that of Changjin (Pontianak), and it is not difficult to imagine what kind of metropolis it will become in the future.
Taking a boat in Penglai Port, Chen Xuan and his entourage went to Yingzhou (Sulawesi) and Abbot (New Guinea) respectively, the development of these two islands is still relatively slow compared to Lanfang, and the situation on the island is more severe than Lanfang.
Finally, I returned to Java and got off the ship in Phoenix, which had been developed for several years, became more and more prosperous, and a large amount of domestic and foreign funds poured in, and the city expanded and expanded, but it still could not meet the demand.
Unlike China, Nanyang is full of islands, so a large number of ships are needed, and now the Fujian Shipyard, Pudong Shipyard, Changjin (Pontianak) Shipyard and Phoenix Shipyard in the Baathist-controlled places are already operating at full capacity, but they still cannot meet the needs of development, and the orders have been scheduled until the end of the year, and Chen Xuan has to build a large shipyard in Penglai Port.
With the vigorous development of the shipbuilding industry, the shipbuilding technology of shipbuilding engineers has also made great progress, and after accumulating their own technology and poaching engineers from the world's major shipyards, the shipyards of the Baath Party have the ability to independently build merchant ships of more than 8,000 tons.
And trial production of warships of 2-3000 tons has begun, mainly escort ships and destroyers, and as for battleships, they are not yet capable of production.
After dealing with some things in Xiaochang'an, Chen Xuan returned to Crescent Village.
Before arriving at Crescent Village, I saw a large area of green rice seedlings swaying in the wind from a distance, and the heavy ears of grain swaying gently, a scene of harvest, Zhang Jian, who came with Chen Xuan, also liked it instantly.
The houses in Crescent Village are very beautiful, there are all kinds of them, but the architectural styles of the various provinces in the country, which also comes from the soldiers of the pro-guard regiment from all over the country, are basically two-story small buildings, probably thinking that Chen Xuan's lawn is very beautiful, so many residents also cultivate their own lawns.
The current Crescent Village has been expanded into Crescent Town, but it belongs to the control of the naval base, so outsiders can't come here without a recommendation, and Crescent Town has also reformulated the access system to restrict too many people from coming here.
Chen Xuan's home is not in Crescent Town, but about 3 kilometers from the seaside in Crescent Town, and now there are several more houses, namely Ma Xiangbo, Han Xu, Zhao Xuechu, Sun Zhiheng, Du Yuesheng, Xu Jingting (Xu Ruohan's brother, Chen Xuan's eldest brother) and Gu Weijun.
Chen Xuan originally joked with Ma Xiangbo that he asked Ma Xiangbo to be the principal of Crescent Town Primary School, but he didn't expect this old man to take it seriously, and after going around all over the place, he came back to preside over the teaching work of Crescent Primary School, and he didn't persuade him to leave.
As long as Han Xu comes back, he will be dragged over to be a guest teacher, sometimes Chen Xuan and his two wives can't escape, and the teachers of Crescent Moon Primary School are also selected by Ma Xiangbo in Crescent Town, not only to teach, but also to participate in Ma Xiangbo's night school training.
"Daddy, Daddy!"
As soon as Chen Xuan arrived at the door of the house, he saw two children, one older and one young, running over, his son Chen Gong seemed to be a little reserved, and hesitated when he ran closer, Chen Qi, who was already more than a year old, didn't care about this, rushed over and jumped into Chen Xuan's arms, and called Chen Xuan vaguely.
Holding Xiao Chen Qi in his arms with one hand, and holding Chen Gong, who had grown a lot, then walked home in the eyes of Zhang Youwei and Xu Ruohan full of joy, Zhang Youwei saw her father Zhang Jian, and she was also incoherent with joy.
"Gong'er and Qi'er seem to have grown up a lot?"
Chen Xuan said to Xu Ruohan.
"As soon as you leave home, it's half a year, can you not grow up!"
Xu Ruohan glanced at Chen Xuan and said angrily.
"By the way, didn't my eldest brother (Xu Jingting) also come to Nanyang, why didn't you see him?"
"You are embarrassed to say that you invited my brother to preside over the Nanyang Group, but there was no half of him to hand over, as soon as he arrived at Bai Xunjian, he left, everything had to be explored again, it took more than half a month to figure out the clue, and now it is three days and two heads do not return home, my sister-in-law has no less complaints."
"It's really hard for him this time, there is really too much work, and there are few useful people, so there is such a rush situation, he came here, what is his company doing now?"
"It's handed over to the family, now that Nanyang is developing, the family has also sent people to investigate, ready to build a factory in Penglai Port, there are a lot of cotton in Nanyang, and the price is cheaper than in China, and the family is very happy!"
"This is a good thing, Han'er, what about your car factory, it should have also been greatly developed, right?"
"Of course!"
Xu Ruohan was as proud as a little peacock.
"I have established a total of three large-scale factories in Northeast China, Shanghai and Fujian, and two have also been built here in Nanyang, respectively in Blue Lake City and Fangzhang Island, the factory on Fangzhang Island is expected to be put into operation by the end of the year, the 800,000 oceans you invested in me have become a group company with assets of more than 5 million oceans, and any of your group factories under Zhenhua is not as big as me, and there are not as many people as me!"
"Really? What about the Nanyang shipyards, but also the steel mills and machine factories? ”
"I hate it, I'm talking about pure civilian industry!"
Xu Ruohan gave Chen Xuan a big look.
