Chapter 254: The Industrialization of the Qing Dynasty

After receiving the military compensation from Alaska and the United States, and handling everything well, the Huaxia Army escorted thousands of transport ships obtained from the United States and evacuated the ports of the United States in a surging manner, returning to Panama, Guantanamo, Puerto Rico and other places.

Hu Zhen returned to the Panama Canal Zone, inspected the construction of the canal in depth, and found that the Panama Canal project was progressing smoothly.

However, Hu Zhen knew that his performance was just icing on the cake, and it could not play much role in the construction of the canal.

So Hu Zhen hurriedly passed the Panama Railway, entered the Pacific coast from the Atlantic coast, boarded a warship in the port of Panama City, and left the Americas to return to the South Seas.

In the vast Pacific Ocean, Hu Zhen spent the Spring Festival of 1890 on a warship, and when he returned to the Pontianak pier in Nanyang, it was February 4, 1890, which was the Lantern Festival of the first lunar month.

But when the warship docked at the pier, the pier suddenly made a noise of gongs and drums, and the welcoming crowd sang and danced on the pier to welcome the return of the heroes who had traveled thousands of miles overseas.

"It's finally back!"

Hu Zhen has not been back for more than half a year since he went to the Americas, and when he looked up, he saw that many brand-new buildings had been added near the Pontianak wharf, and it seemed that the construction of Nanyang and Pontianak had not stopped for a moment.

"Husband, it's good that you're back!"

When Hu Zhen walked down the trestle, Princess Kaorani rushed over and hugged Hu Zhen's neck, and the cherry mouth was sticky, and she didn't want to let go after kissing it.

Han Yuqing and Zhong Ling, who were dressed up, saw Hu Zhen walking off the trestle, and they still had a little bit of a young woman's reserve. One step behind and seeing Princess Kaorani holding her husband in such a wild way in public, I couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to do.

The crowd behind them was even more dumbfounded. Fortunately, this land of the South Seas is very influenced by foreigners, and it is not as conservative as in the Qing Dynasty.

Hu Zhen only felt that his mouth was full of aroma, and he was kissed fiercely by Caorani more than a dozen times.

But he saw the crowd around him calm down. Feeling quite embarrassed, she gently pushed Caorani away and said, "You are a noble lady, you can't be too out of place in public!" ”

"Well, what's that? You're my husband, so what's there? ”

Hu Zhen's face immediately changed, and he said in a low voice: "Okay, go home, I'll close the door and teach you a heavy lesson on the bed, see where you are still going?" ”

Listening to Hu Zhen say this, of course Kaorani knew what was going on on the bed. Suddenly blushing, he lowered his head, followed behind Hu Zhen, and immediately turned into a fair lady, slowly walking towards the crowd.

Han Yuqing and Zhong Ling stepped forward to say a traditional Chinese blessing, and said sweetly: "Husband, you are back!" ”

Hu Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, I'm really happy to see you!" ”

Han Yuqing and Zhong Ling didn't know how much they had to say to their husbands, but when they saw the crowd coming up from behind, they didn't want to say much. Hurriedly flashed behind Hu Zhen and followed him to entertain the people who came to greet him warmly.

One by one, the elders of the Huaxia Guild stepped forward to greet Hu Zhen.

After the elders, Hu Zhen saw a man dressed in the clothes of a railway worker, and Hu Zhen's eyes lit up. Finding out that this was Zhan Tianyou, he couldn't help but ask strangely: "Mr. Zhan, you are here too!" ”

In Hu Zhen's thoughts, technicians like Zhan Tianyou are not interested in this kind of scene, and I don't know why he came here today.

"Hello Chief, I. I ...... "Zhan Tianyou seems to have something to worry about."

At this time, the car that greeted him on the dock slipped away for a long time, and Hu Zhen took Zhan Tianyou's hand and said, "Okay, you get in my car and go together!" ”

After getting into the car, Zhan Tianyou said to Hu Zhen: "Chief Executive, I want to resign!" ”

"Resign? What are you doing this for? Hu Zhen was very surprised, he thought about it a little, and didn't think of any place that neglected Zhan Tianyou, an engineer and technician.

"Thank you for summoning me from Guangzhou and giving me Zhan Tianyou an excellent opportunity to realize my ideals, but I have to go!"

"What's going on in your house?"

"It's not! It was the Qing Dynasty that summoned me back to build the railway! I was sent by the Qing Dynasty to study at Yale University in the United States, and quietly went to Nanyang to build a railway, and now the imperial court has an order to go to China to build a railway, and I have to go! Seeing Hu Zhen looking at himself intently, Zhan Tianyou continued in order to reassure Hu Zhen: "Now Nanyang, there are many talents who have returned from studying in Europe and the United States, although everyone is very young, but after practical training, a large number of engineering talents have grown, and my departure will not have any impact on the construction of the Nanyang Railway Project!" ”

After hearing this, Hu Zhen smiled: "I thought something big had happened, but it turned out to be such a good thing!" If you go back, you're building our hometown! I gave you the go-ahead to go back! ”

Zhan Tianyou listened to Hu Zhen's words, and turned from the anxiety just now to the wonder: "Chief Chief, aren't you afraid that the strength of the Qing Dynasty will become stronger and stronger?" ”

In everyone's mind, Hu Zhen will inevitably take the Huaxia army across the ocean and fight back to Huaxia mainland, Zhan Tianyou is one of them, he is also worried that the Qing Dynasty after industrialization will quickly become stronger, and Hu Zhen will command the army to secretly destroy the railways and industrial and mining enterprises built by the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, the driver had already started the car forward, Hu Zhen raised his hand and shook it, and said:

"It's okay, when we go back to China, we will inevitably have to build railways and countless industrial and mining enterprises, and now let the Qing Dynasty build it, sooner or later it will be ours, what is there to worry about? No matter how much industry the Qing Dynasty built, with those backward bureaucrats and systems, I am afraid that most people only know what to do, and they don't know anything about modern industrial construction, can such people be able to hold it? When the time comes, it will not all fall into our hands, and after you go back, you will build it as you want, just like the Nanyang Railway, and strive to build a local railway in China! ”

Hu Zhen knew that with the current strength of the Huaxia Guild, the Qing Dynasty could be overthrown at any time, but overthrowing the Qing Dynasty was not a problem, so the European powers would definitely not allow themselves to smoothly unify China and grow into the world's number one power.

Therefore, in his plan, the reason why he delayed the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty was to accumulate enough strength to defeat the combined forces of all the European powers, and he would inevitably overthrow the Qing Dynasty.

In the close monitoring of the Chinese mainland by the Ministry of Intelligence, Hu Zhen knew the situation of the Qing Dynasty well, and the current rulers of the Qing Dynasty were stimulated by the victory of the Nanyang Huaxia Guild, fearing that they would lose the hearts of the people, so they picked up the Westernization movement again, and secretly learned from Nanyang to vigorously build industry and build railways, so as to achieve the purpose of accumulating strength to resist the erosion of the Nanyang Huaxia Guild.

The industrialization of the Qing Dynasty was actually just to accumulate strength for the future of China.

In this regard, Hu Zhen did not mean to destroy at all, on the contrary, he also asked Fan Qianhai to secretly use the names of different businessmen to mobilize huge funds to help China carry out industrialization construction.

Seeing that Hu Zhen was so confident, Zhan Tianyou said with relief: "Ah, that's good, that's good!" ”

"Mr. Zhan, you went back alone, your strength is too thin, I will decide now to send a hundred engineers and technicians to follow you back, increase the engineering and technical strength of the construction of the local railway in China, and the list of personnel will be determined by you, is this good?"

Hearing Hu Zhen say this, Zhan Tianyou was suddenly a little incoherent with excitement, he understood from this moment that the Chinese mainland under the rule of the Qing Dynasty would change the day in a short time, and all his efforts were worth it.

The next morning, before dawn, Zhan Tianyou took a hundred railway engineers and technicians to board a ship at the wharf and go back to China to build a railway. (To be continued.) )
