Hami, railway station.

With a long whistle, a train slowly left the platform, and then gradually accelerated.

In the specially made carriage, looking at Hami farther and farther away, Yi Zhixin couldn't help but feel a little helpless, this time he would turn back halfway from his tour of the northwest.

Zuo Zongtang did not respond to Feng Renxuan according to his instructions, but joined forces with Zhu Shanhai, while quickly stabilizing the turbulent situation in the prefectures and counties of Xinjiang and forming a situation of confrontation with Feng Renxuan, while sending people to negotiate with Feng Renxuan, in an attempt to promote the situation of peaceful unification of the two provinces, and then declare the independence of the northwest.

The benefits of this approach are clear – it is possible to avoid war in the two northwestern provinces and to maintain the prosperity of the two provinces.

Yi Zhishu naturally has to support and cooperate, after all, the situation in the northwest provinces can have today, it is completely the result of Yuan Qi's spare support, and he does not want to see the prosperity of the northwest ruined by the war.

Of course, in this case, there is no need for him to continue to stay in Hami, according to the normal reaction, he has to transfer troops to prepare to recover the northwest, otherwise this scene may be played out.

Looking at Huang Dianyuan on the other side, Yi Zhixiang said a little apologetically: "I thought that I would visit the two northwest provinces with Brother Yourong and have a good taste of the northwest scenery, but I didn't want to make such a big mess, so I had to go back to Shanghai." ”

Huang Dianyuan waved his hand disapprovingly, "Now it is convenient to travel to and from the northwest, and after you are stable, it is not too late to come." Speaking of this, he hesitated, but still considered it and said: "The northwest is the important place of China's land defense, and I am afraid that the northwest military system must be appropriately changed." ”

Yi Zhizu nodded slightly, "Yes, it has been changed, otherwise it will be easy to form a separatist trend." ”

"I'm afraid it's a bit of trouble." Su Shun interjected: "The northwest is remote, too far away from the interior, cable telegraphs and railways are easy to be cut off, and the remote area is the most important land defense area. If we continue to follow the system of not serving in the province in the hinterland, we are worried that it will be difficult for the officers and men of the province to adapt to the climate and environment in the northwest, which will affect the ...... combat effectiveness. ”

"The conditions in the two northwestern provinces are indeed a little worse, but not to the point where they can't adapt." Yi Zhixiang said unhurriedly: "I think it is better to serve in other places, and in the future, officers and soldiers will be transferred from inland provinces to garrison the northwest, and demobilized people will also return to their hometowns according to the system, and they will not be allowed to work in the local area and start a family."

As for communications and railway traffic, there is no need to worry, it will soon be improved, and wireless communications are now being developed, and it is very difficult for such a thing as this to happen again in the future.

There will also be a big breakthrough in transportation, and great progress has been made in the development of aircraft, and in more than ten years, it is possible to put into use flights and helicopters, which will greatly reduce the dependence on railways. ”

"Flying machines are evolving so fast?" Su Shun couldn't believe it.

Yi Zhifen said with a smile: "This is the industrial age, and the speed of industrial development is like this train, and the speed will get faster and faster. ”

Capital.

The newly built asphalt road is running with the latest cars, horse-drawn carriages, rickshaws and a huge number of bicycles, rolling traffic, bustling crowds, construction sites everywhere, new buildings, and factories springing up like mushrooms after the rain, making the Beijing Division more prosperous than in the past, not at all like a scene that has experienced a serious natural disaster.

For the change of Beijing, Yi is the deepest, in recent years he has spent a lot of energy in the reconstruction of Beijing, watching the transformation of Beijing little by little, the scale of the city continues to expand, the number of factories outside the city is increasing year by year, and the city is prosperous year by year, his heart is full of a sense of achievement.

However, the recent events in the northwest have made him very troubled, and Yi Zhizhi has returned to Shanghai, but the queen mother and the emperor are still deeply trapped in Gong Ning, what kind of business is this?

Although Su Shun called, he made the situation very clear, and repeatedly assured that the queen mother and the emperor would not be in danger, but how could he rest assured, after all, the queen mother and the emperor are still in the hands of the chaotic army, in case anything happens, as the prime minister, how can he, as the prime minister, explain to the people of the world?

The communications of the two northwestern provinces have been blocked, and only a handful of people in the government and the opposition know that there has been a rebellion in the northwest, but there is no impermeable wall in this world, and paper cannot contain the fire, and it is a matter of time before this matter is poked out, if the queen mother and the emperor cannot be rescued in time, once the news is leaked, it will inevitably be an uproar in the world.

What worried him even more was that Su Shun actually asked him to secretly investigate whether there were any nobles of the clan in Jingshi and the northwest during this time.

This meaning is self-evident, Yi Zhishu suspects that there are clan nobles secretly colluding with Zhu Shanhai, and suspects that this Northwest Rebellion is an attempt by someone to plot to restore!

The slightest carelessness in this matter may trigger a shocking change!

Seeing that his term of office was approaching, but such a bad thing came out for no reason, the depression in his heart can naturally be imagined.

As for secretly investigating whether there was a telegram communication between the nobles of the clan and the northwest during this period of time, he didn't dare to check it at all, anyway, if he was killed, he would have to be determined, without this, it would be absolutely impossible!

I'm afraid that there is really such a thing, in case Zhu Shanhai's bastard thing is defeated and captured, and he confesses, it will be a catastrophe, but he still doesn't dare to call the northwest, he can only be in a hurry, he never dares to touch his hands in this matter, even if there is a little mistake, it will be a catastrophe!

Shanghai, Securities Trading Hall, 3rd Floor Office.

"In recent days, there have been a lot of sell-offs in the Northwest sector." Steward Cao reported softly.

Selling stocks in the Northwest sector? Huo Qizheng frowned, this thing is really abnormal, the opening of the Eurasian Railway is imminent, Yi Zhishu and the Queen Mother and the Emperor inspected the Northwest together, which is a major positive for Northwest stocks, and stocks related to the Northwest have been rising some time ago.

That is, after the communication with the two northwestern provinces was interrupted, the upward momentum of this rise has subsided.

After pondering for a while, he asked, "Is there any news about the big shopkeeper recently?" ”

"Nope." Steward Cao shook his head, "Since the report of the big shopkeeper inspecting the Hami Sandaoling Coal Mine, there seems to be no report of the prince. ”

Something happened! Something must have happened! Huo Qizheng's heart sank, "Go to Hami immediately and try to see if you can contact the big shopkeeper." ”

He is really a little anxious in his heart, if there is really a mess in the northwest, the stocks in the northwest sector will inevitably plummet, and it will definitely cause the entire stock market to plummet, and may even trigger a new round of crisis, the question is, should he take measures to remedy it? And how can it be remedied? He couldn't mobilize a lot of money.

Just when he was anxious, Steward Cao went and returned, and said with a somewhat strange expression: "The big shopkeeper has called, and all the stocks in the northwest plate have been suspended." ”

After reading the telegram, Huo Qizheng couldn't help but sigh secretly, something really happened in the northwest!
