Chapter 607: Educational Significance
Not all the people wearing the uniforms of Northern Manchukuo are wise and martial, they are also ordinary people, such as the two young policemen in front of Li Erhei, these two are very confused. For fear that confessing his hometown would expose him, and he didn't know what kind of joke to make up, Li Erhei stumbled and only said the word "Guangning", and then before he could continue, the police had already ignored the second half of his sentence and wrote down his hometown Guangning. Li Erhei should really be grateful to the Mantian God and Buddha, Fengtian just happened to have a place called Guangning, and it was also in Liaoxi.
After completing the registration, the police issued Li Erhei and Ergazi temporary ID cards, and informed them to go to the police station within 15 days to take photos and register and apply for official ID cards, and then the two policemen left in a daze. Everything is so wonderful, two wanted felons who committed unpardonable crimes in Mukden have an official identity in North Manchuria, and they have changed their names and surnames very legally.
Fengtian still searched for Li Erhei and Ergazi throughout the province, but Huang Di and Wang Ye worked as laborers in Vladivostok, the fundamental stronghold of Manchuria. Boss Zhang is also a group of people who have just become rich, and he has no share in big business, and he went to Mongolia and Outer Manchuria to open up, and he didn't have the courage to do a little distribution work in his hometown. Boss Zhang's sale is not a new invention, but it has to be considered a new thing, after all, there are not many people in China who have drunk soda in this era.
During the Qianlong period, the British invented soda, but it was very late when it was transmitted to China, and the taste of sparkling sugar water is just like that, and it does not become Dutch water in Guangdong. The soda in North Manchuria, which is not a foreign product, but is independently developed, is one of the early projects of the 100 projects, because the general Guo Xinga wants to drink. The soda developed by Guoxinga, which is occasionally drunk by the high-level people of North Manchuria, does not taste very good, and it is still within the category of sugar water. It wasn't until the rise of the Northern Manchurian aristocratic consortium that extravagance became more and more prevalent, and this thing was perfected, and a whole host of flavors such as lemon and orange were also developed. Chaebol managers can find huge business opportunities in small projects such as socks, toothbrushes, and toothpaste, and of course they will not let go of the new gadget of soda. Nowadays, the soda industry in North Manchuria, there are several big brands such as "Ice Cui", "Dongyang", and "Yuanhai", which have become one of the foods exported by North Manchuria, together with instant noodles.
Boss Zhang is one of the wholesalers of Yuanhai soda in Vladivostok, and he and his brother-in-law go out every day to run business orders, and Huang Di and other four people are in the warehouse for loading and unloading. Huang Di and Wang Ye did not have an easy time moving and resisting every day, but fortunately, the food was good, and they were not tired. However, people who have been emperors and princes, and they are always uncomfortable in their hearts when they live like this again. Huang Di thinks about why he lost every day, and he has not given up his plan to fight for the world with Guoxing.
Wang Ye occasionally thinks of the happy life he had in the days when he was the prince, but he is more curious about some new things around him. There are too many things out there, he can't study them, and he has time to study the soda that he has to deal with every day. The delicate and transparent glass bottle was something Wang Ye had never seen in Mukden, and the water in the bottle was colorful and sparkling, so he was even more curious.
"Brother Fugui, what's in this? Why do so many people buy it every day? After the delivery of the goods in the afternoon, everyone was relatively leisurely, and there was time to get together to chat, Wang Ye asked a question that puzzled him for more than half a month.
"It's soda, it's drinking, maybe it's like honey water! The children and women at the table can't drink alcohol, so they drink this thing. It's hot in summer, and Manchurians also drink chilled stuff to relieve the heat! Wu Fugui replied very carefully, but unfortunately he didn't come long ago, and he hadn't drunk soda, otherwise he would have spoken more carefully.
"What does this flower smell like?" Wang Ye was a little greedy, and the Manchurians drank it, and he wanted to taste it too.
"I don't know, it must be very delicious, otherwise why so many people drink it!" Wu Fugui was also a little greedy for being seduced by Wang Ye.
"We've got paid, let's try it too." Boss Zhang said that he would pay the settlement at the end of the month, and Wang Ye calculated.
"Don't think about those useless things, you only have thirty yuan a month, this thing costs a piece for a bottle, and it costs a day's wages to drink saliva, and the days are over!" Boss Chen also wants to drink, but he wants to live a good life even more.
"It's so expensive!" Wang Ye doesn't have any concept of Manchurian money, but he still has a deep understanding of the concept of a day's wages, because he has to sweat a lot every day.
"Such an expensive thing, Manchurians are still willing to drink it?" Huang Di has never liked to talk, but after hearing that soda is so expensive, he still asked.
"People don't earn 30 yuan a month, so they earn a lot! Besides, the Manchurians have hardcore crops, the factory pays them when the day comes, and the elderly are in charge of medical treatment and school with their children, so they don't have to save money, so they can spend it as they please! "Boss Chen has only seen the merchants and workers in the city, but he has never met the peasants of Manchuria, and although those peasants are better than them, they have to buy soda on an important day.
"What a good time they're doing!" Huang Di finally figured something out.
Since ancient times, it was the poor who rebelled, and the rich did not have to worry about food and clothing, so they naturally did not kill their heads. The Manchurians are all rich, and if there are no poor people, naturally no one will go crazy to rebel. Fighting for the world is fighting for people's hearts, even if the poor follow Huangdi, the rich will still follow Guoxinga, Manchuria is rich, and Huangdi will not be able to fight Guoxinga. There are many poor people who can't eat, and they are willing to follow Huangdi to rebel, but there is an old saying, that is, the poor do not fight the rich. The Mukden people, who were poorly clothed and hungry, would definitely not be able to defeat the well-fed Manchurians, so Huangdi was driven down from the throne without even seeing the enemy. Huang Di couldn't turn the Manchurians into poor again, so he had to find a way to make the rich people willing to rebel against him. The reason why Huang Di is not a thief is because he has always believed that he is the true son of heaven, even if there will be a little doubt, the prince's sneaky words Your Majesty will once again strengthen his thoughts. Huang Di thought of people's hearts, but he ignored the army and weapons, etc., but after all, some people still thought of these, such as a group of military ministers in the Qing Dynasty.
Guoxing A thundered angrily, and the Liaoxi people immediately disappeared, which gave a great shock to the Qing court, of course, they didn't think of problems such as people's hearts and minds, what they saw was machine guns and fast artillery. After many analyses and discussions on the civil rebellion in Liaoxi, Yi Xin and others have made huge gains, and they seem to be able to solve a problem that has plagued the feudal dynasty for thousands.
Since Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, the Central Plains Dynasty has changed several times, and the peasant uprising has been like a spell that has always plagued the imperial court. The Qin Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and the Western Han Dynasty were directly destroyed by the rebel army, and although the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Jin Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty did not completely fall under the sword of the rebel army, they were almost all finished without the rebel army. Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Chimei, Huang Turban, Wagang, Huang Chao, Song Jiang, Fang La, Li Zicheng, just the rebel army that made a lot of noise was enough to write a version, and if it was enough to speak, it was enough to pull out a list of thousands of people. The Qing Dynasty was also very uneasy in this regard, the White Lotus Sect, the Tianli Sect, the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Twisting Army were almost endless tosses, and the imperial court was exhausted but had no way at all. The imperial court did not have a way to keep everyone fed and clothed, but they found a way to make the people unable to make trouble from this Liaoxi civil uprising.
The biggest characteristic of the peasant rebel army is that the equipment is not good, and when the first incident started, the main weapons were often agricultural tools, and then there were some swords made secretly. Officers and soldiers armed with knives, guns, swords and halberds to deal with hoes, nail rakes, and dung forks, although there are certain advantages, but hand-to-hand combat is still unavoidable. The dung fork against the red tassel gun, killing the red-eyed rebel army, may not be able to defeat the weak official army. Even the current Huai army, Hunan army, and Chu army will inevitably use some cold weapons, and they will often be forced to flee in embarrassment without hoeing.
Guoxing's way of suppressing the civil rebellion in western Liaoxi opened the eyes of the imperial court, and the machine guns, fast guns, and dung forks of Yishui could not move forward at all, and the rebel army without firearms and equipment had only a dead end except surrender. The rebels could build their own swords, but the common people could not make machine guns and cannons, and they had no power to fight back against the regular army with cold weapons. The officers and troops of the imperial court were certainly not comparable to the Manchurian army, but as long as they could shoot, they could suppress the peasant uprising. Anyway, the hoe can't reach them, it's like hunting, it's such an easy thing, the Eight Banners soldiers in the Beijing camp are no problem.
Su Shun is very old-fashioned, so Yi Xin is engaged in the Westernization movement, and he has been dismantling the stage. But this time, after seeing the results of the civil uprising in western Liaoning, Su Shun also had a lot of changes, although he still did not cooperate on the whole, but in the area of ordnance reform, Su Shun also raised his hands in favor. If the officers and soldiers could also have the same equipment as the Manchurian Army, the current scourge would be quickly flattened, and there would never be a civil uprising again in the future. Even if there are individual rebels, they can be suppressed quickly, and there is no chance for them to become bigger. As for improving the people's livelihood and cutting off the possibility of civil unrest at the root, the Military Aircraft Department is thinking about it every day, but they have no good way to do it for the time being.
Things are quite clear, but the court can't do what they think, they don't have so many guns. Zeng Guofan's Anqing Ordnance Institute and Li Hongzhang's Jiangnan Machinery Bureau have been working hard to imitate Manchurian-style equipment, and they have indeed made some. However, they can only copy the Manchurian army's replacement equipment such as Schneider and Zhongzheng Yishi, and the quality of the imitation is not as good as the original Manchurian one, but the cost is much more expensive, it is better to find Guoxinga to buy it directly. After thinking about it, the military aircraft department could only buy cheap Guoxinga again and purchase futures from North Manchurian in large quantities.
The imperial court did not send a special person to undertake the procurement of this matter, but directly asked the Shengjing general Tepuqin in Fengtian to undertake it. Guoxing'a will officially settle in Shengjing in three days, and Tepuqin is arranging the official handover with Guoxing'a in Shengjing, and it is appropriate for him to do it.
