Chapter 297: Huaxia Daily
It didn't take long for ten bicycles to arrive in Cam Ranh Bay.
Gao Junshan opened the package and looked, this kind of bicycle is indeed not easy to ride, the front wheel is small, the rear wheel is particularly large, not an acrobat really can't ride this kind of bicycle, Gao Junshan himself can't ride, let alone run a bicycle class.
Because oil had not yet been widely developed at this time, there was no butter as a lubricant for bicycles, and bearings had not been studied, so bicycles could only look like this.
Because the rear wheels are so large, the cyclist has to be in a very high position to be able to ride the bike, and no one wants to ride the bike without the skills of an acrobat.
Gao Junshan can only look at the car and sigh.
They had to give up the production of bicycles, and in the future, they could produce bearings and refine butter, and then guide them to develop the bicycle industry.
A few days later, Zheng Zhilong, who was in Nagasaki, sent a telegram to Gao Junshan, before that, he asked Zheng Zhilong to inquire about the situation of the naval warships of the island country, and Zheng Zhilong telegraphed back to report that the island countries in the Edo period adopted a policy of closing themselves to the outside world, they did not have a decent navy, and the ships they owned were some Otaku ships of no more than 1,000 tons, which could not compete with the navy of Huaxia at all.
After reading Zheng Zhilong's call, Gao Junshan was a little disappointed, it seems that this First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle cannot be fought, because it is impossible for the other party to organize a decent fleet to conduct a First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle with Huaxia State.
It was only a day after the disappointment that the engineers of the Food Research Group of the Academy of Sciences had successfully developed canned fish and biscuits.
With these two things, it plays an immeasurable role in promoting the long-distance combat and navigation development of the troops. Gao Junshan ordered the food research team to immediately start developing vegetable biscuits and canned beef. At the same time, he also telegraphed Bailisha to immediately put into large-scale production, and included these two food production plans in military production, so as to increase and speed up production.
The good news that came next was that Gao Junshan received the first newspaper of Huaxia, which was called "Huaxia Daily".
"Huaxia Daily" was issued by the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court, and the daily newspapers of later generations were the same size, with a total of four pages, the first page is the imperial court section, which is the imperial court promulgating decrees, policies, as well as the publication of relevant official dynamics and various data; The second section is the section of the three courts, which respectively publishes some military and economic developments that people are concerned about, as well as relevant reports on the judicial organs' fight against crime; The third section is the local section, which reports on local administrative measures and local construction trends; The fourth section is the Chongwen section, which is a place where hundreds of schools of thought in the academic world contend.
Gao Junshan got the inaugural issue of the Huaxia Daily, which was issued on January 1, 1654. The whole newspaper is in vernacular, Gao Junshan has been teaching in Chongwen College for many years, and he is teaching in vernacular, so all the disciples of Chongwen use vernacular to communicate and write, and only a very small number of court veterans are still full of mouths in the court.
The front page headline published Gao Junshan's speeches on cracking down on corruption, these speeches were spoken by Gao Junshan when he summoned Liu Fangliang and Tian Fang, the content was abridged, the text was expanded, some vivid action descriptions were added, and there were also scenes and tone of polish, which shows that the author used a lot of thought, and the writing form of this speech is a bit like the reportage of later generations.
This speech was written by Duan Fuxing, the editor-in-chief of Huaxia Daily, who was the eldest brother among Chongwen's disciples and the first generation of Gao Junshan's students.
Gao Junshan read the second edition again, and the headline on the second page was an article issued by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, titled "Behind Niu Xiaowu's Corruption and Fall", which is an article against corruption officials, and the Niu Xiaowu referred to in the article is the son of Niu Jinxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
In this edition, there is also a report by the Military and Political Yuan on the Combined Fleet in the Persian Gulf, which introduced the location of the Combined Fleet, Bushehr, which at this time was a small fishing village, and because of the presence of the Combined Fleet, Bushehr quickly developed into a small town.
At the same time, the article also introduced the Chinese steam engine battleships, and further clarified the significance of our Chinese fleet's entry into the Persian Gulf. The article points out that the establishment of China's naval base in the Persian Gulf will provide a reliable guarantee for China's advance into the Atlantic Ocean and its crossing of the Mediterranean, and in the future, a railway will be built from Yuz Province to Persia's Bushehr, and in this way, Bushehr will become a port city of China's China.
Another article in this section was drafted by the Civil Affairs Academy, and Gao Junshan passed through it, mainly introducing the development of Yuzi and Xijiang provinces, especially mentioning the development of Xichang and Vladivostok.
Xichang is not the Xichang that launched satellites in later generations, but Yekaterinburg in later generations, Xichang has now become the provincial capital of Yuzi Province, the largest emerging city in Kazakhstan, and an important industrial, transportation, trade, scientific and cultural center of Yuzi Province.
Xichang is located in the eastern foothills of the Ural Mountains, on the banks of the Iset River, on the dividing line between Europe and Asia, with an area of 491 square kilometers. Due to its high geographical location, Xichang City has long days in summer and short days in winter.
Xichang is the military industrial production base of China, with 56 large factories, manufacturing plants, and hundreds of small workshop-style private factories, and is the location of the headquarters of the First Army Corps.
The region is rich in mineral resources, which have been identified by geologists as oil, natural gas, coal, uranium, ferrous and non-ferrous metals (iron, chromite, manganese, copper, zinc, bauxite, nickel), precious metals (gold, platinum) and non-metallic mineral raw materials (asbestos, talc, graphite, magnesite, kaolin, etc.).
Vladivostok is an important port city in Western Xinjiang Province, located at the southern tip of the Amursky Peninsula in Muravyov on the Pacific coast.
Vladivostok is a highland to the north, bordering the Gulf of Ussuri to the east, the Great Peter Bay and the Amur Bay to the east, south and west, respectively. The city and port area are located on the shores of the Golden Horn at the tip of the Amur Peninsula. The Golden Horn Bay stretches from southwest to northeast into the interior and is about 7 km long. The entrance bay is about 2 kilometers wide and has a water depth of 20~30 meters, while the inner bay is less than 1 kilometer wide and has a water depth of 10~20 meters.
The south side of the Golden Horn is separated by the East Bosphorus, and the bay is surrounded by low mountains and hills, and the situation is dangerous. Vladivostok has a winter freezing period of up to 100~110 days (from early December to mid-to-late March of the following year), and it is foggy in summer and autumn, of which there are foggy days for an average of one and a half months in June ~ August, and sometimes heavy fog affects ships entering the harbor.
Vladivostok has a humid temperate continental climate, or a cold temperate continental monsoon climate. Summers are cool and comfortable; Autumn is the best season in Vladivostok, with sunny weather, long duration, and occasional typhoons.
The article also describes the current development of Vladivostok, because the Fifth Fleet is stationed here, Vladivostok's development is also very fast, there are 300,000 immigrants in the past ten years, mainly engaged in fishery production, there are also many factories, the shipbuilding industry is also very developed, and there is a large steam engine manufacturing plant.
It has close trade ties with North Korea.
Gao Junshan read most of the content of the second edition, and then turned the newspaper to the third edition, the third board is the local section, because it is the first issue, this edition introduces the past and present of the capital.
