Chapter 389: Going North to Welcome Relatives in Distress (1)
Sun Yat-sen likes a hot-blooded young man like Liu Tong very much, for the country, for the nation, and for him Sun to be able to sacrifice his life for righteousness. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Maybe the victory of the revolution over the years is about to be realized, Mr. Sun has some pride and complacency in his heart, and he has not examined Liu Tong in detail, and his subordinates are now busy fighting for power and profit, and the only person who is wary of Liu Tong is Sun Yat-sen's 21-year-old son Sun Ke. But Liu Tong is just a small attendant guard, and Sun Ke can't fight at all, even if Sun Ke suspects Liu Tong's origin and identity, everyone just thinks that he is unfounded.
Moreover, Liu Tong slapped his horse, and even made Sun Yat-sen think that this kid could block bullets and explosives for himself, so he trusted him very much. The information sent by Liu Tong is that now Sun Yat-sen has gathered about 70,000 troops, but the various armies are not coordinated with each other, and they have not yet begun to fight Nanjing City.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty has not yet been overthrown, and the revolutionary army itself has fought for power first, Wang Yongan couldn't help but laugh when he got the information, if Zhang Xun knew, he would die of laughter. However, Wang Yongan was positive about Liu Tong's ability, and couldn't help but say: "This kid has some ability. In order to support Liu Tong, Wang Yongan ordered the newspaper to continue to positively promote Liu Tong's image as a revolutionary youth and completely whitewash him.
After the murder case of Liu Tong was dealt with, the murderer Liu Tong became a hero, and Wang Yongan turned his attention to his side. Now that the moon is cold and winter, there is basically no major event in Yangzhou City, so he is ready to set off to Shandong to welcome his relatives.
At this time, Chen Zhaotang returned from inspecting Jiangbei and brought back a person, this person was Zhang Renjun's former staff member Yuan Zhaofu, but at this time Yuan Zhaofu was seriously ill and had the ability to seek medical treatment from Yangzhou Military Hospital. Wang Yongan immediately made efforts to arrange a doctor to treat Yuan Zhaofu, Yuan Zhaofu was grateful, and then recommended his student, Bai Dequan, a native of Sichuan Province, to be Wang Yongan's secretary.
This Bai Dequan is low-key and doesn't like to talk, and at first glance he looks ordinary, but Yuan Zhaofu said that he never forgets it, and Wang Yongan said that Xiaobai is the strongest brain? So he took the school examination to see if he really remembered, so he asked people to take the twenty-four history, Bai Dequan said that there was no need to read it, he had already rolled the twenty-four history, Wang Yongan didn't believe it, and picked a book and said a topic, Bai Dequan thought about it for a while and began to recite it, word for word from beginning to end. Wang Yongan was shocked, so he appointed Bai Dequan as one of his secretaries, and said in his heart that although I don't have Brother Shui, I have at least recruited a Wang Feng in the late Qing Dynasty.
Chen Zhaotang replaced Wang Yongtai to inspect and supervise the county officials, dealt with many corrupt officials and corrupted officials, and offended many people, but fortunately Wang Yongan sent him army to protect him. Chen Zhaotang handed over some lists, these people all made small mistakes but did not commit crimes to death, and were escorted to Yangzhou by Chen Zhaotang and asked Wang Yongan what to do.
Wang Yongan asked those corrupt officials to be escorted to the Jiangbei Protector Army's Yamen, and then burned all the charges and evidence in front of everyone, saying: "Jiangbei belongs to everyone and is mine, I don't want anyone to smash my rice bowl, otherwise I will smash his rice bowl and make him unable to eat." Today I burned all this and protected you once, but I will never protect you a second time, because the second time I made a mistake, it was against me. ”
"We are wholeheartedly loyal to Lord Yun Shuai." The officials said in unison.
After everyone left, Chen Zhaotang smiled and said: "Yun Shuai is so courageous, now these people must serve you with death." ”
Wang Yongan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Now that there are so many illiterates, how can the country be governed if you kill these scholars." Alas, it's not that I don't want to kill them, but I can't kill them. Wang Yongan felt that Chen Zhaotang was very experienced and courageous in inspecting corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so he reported to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court would appoint Chen Zhaotang as the Jiangbei Patrol, but the report was typed and not approved, so Wang Yongan left Yangzhou. The men and horses of a cavalry battalion protected the safety of Wang Yongan and the welcoming convoy along the way, all the way to the north, and started from Yangzhou and ran directly to Weifang, Shandong, the road was not bumpy, and the weather was cold in winter, and the cold wind blew on everyone's face, freezing everyone uncomfortable.
Wang Yongan galloped on the land of Lianghuai, feeling proud, but the life of the old monk who drifted through the heart of Langya Mountain from time to time was no more than three, which really made him feel very distressed. Xiao Xiaoyue persuaded him, saying that he was a knot, but Wang Yongan didn't think so, maybe there were some things that the more elusive he was, the more jealous he felt.
After arriving in Haizhou (that is, Lianyungang in later generations), Shen Yunpei, the prefect of Haizhou and the three major industrialists of Haizhou and northern Jiangsu, hurriedly entertained him, Wang Yongan had long hoped to meet Shen Yunpei, although the two sides are now business partners, but Wang Yongan has been busy, and Shen Yunpei is also busy with business, and now although the two sides meet for the first time, they are very cordial and warm.
Shen Yunpei knew that Wang Yongan went to Shandong to propose, and he said that he would definitely go to Yangzhou to attend his wedding and give him a generous gift.
Wang Yongan smiled and said that Shen seniors can go to give themselves enough face, why bother to say anything big and small, after the banquet is about to end, everyone slowly retreats, Shen Yunpei seems to have something to say, Wang Yongan smiled and asked: "Mr. Shen, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it." ”
Only then did Shen Yunpei speak: "Don't hide it from Yunshuai, in fact, some people and I have recently been preparing to build a railway to benefit the people of Haizhou. ”
"Build a railroad?" Wang Yongan was a little surprised, building a railway requires a lot of silver, and the Qing government has no money to build the railway, which caused the rebellion in Sichuan Province and finally buried the Qing Dynasty. He immediately leaned out and asked, "Why would Elder Shen want to build a railway?" As far as I know, it takes a lot of money to build a railway, even in my Jiangbei area, there is only one section of the Jinpu Railway made by the imperial court, Shen Lao ......"
Shen Yunpei shook his head and said, "It's not that we build the railway alone, but to extend the imperial court's railway partially." Can Yun Shuai know the Bianluo Railway in Henan Province? After the opening of this section of the railway from Bianliang (Kaifeng) to Luoyang, the people of eastern and western Henan have no taboo traffic, and the lives of the people along the way have gradually improved, but the Bianluo railway is only 183 kilometers, and the grace is only a province of Henan. My idea is that if the Bianluo Railway can be extended to Haizhou and run through the east and west of China, it will make China's transportation and freight transportation more convenient. The goods of Haizhou can be directly transported to Luoyang, and the products of Henan can also be directly transported to Haizhou, and sold abroad by ship from Haizhou, so as to achieve the prosperity of the country's people. ”
Shen Yunpei was very active in the construction of the railway, he even did not hesitate to invest all his belongings for the railway, and he went to the capital several times to ask the imperial court to support the construction of the railway, Shen Yunpei proposed the method of official supervision and private administration to follow the example of Sichuan to build the railway, but because the Sichuan Rebellion was caused by the railway being nationalized, the imperial court was originally ready to put into construction, but it was stranded. Later, Shen Yunpei sought several times, but someone in the court reported that you Haizhou belongs to the Jiangbei region, and you should go to Jiangbei to protect Wang Yongan to ask for help - Shen Yunpei tried to find Wang Yongan's help, but he understood that it was too difficult to let a warlord build a railway.
