I was stimulated by my words, so I took the time to write a chapter to refute it. In fact, when I wrote a book for the first time, I didn't know how to set up a lot of pits, so I wrote vaguely. It's normal that I didn't see it, you can leave a message to explain, but I don't agree with you saying that I'm smart or something. Writing a book is just for fun. How can you be happy if you don't have a chance? I agree that the appointment of the protagonist as the governor of the two northeastern provinces is indeed inappropriate. I really couldn't think of a better idea for the arrangement here. That's why the protagonist returned some of the treasures and funds of the treasury, and with the help of Li Hongzhang, he got the position of governor. Such a placement has been as reasonable as I can. The so-called clear person clears himself, if he understands, he will smile, and if he doesn't understand, he will abandon the book directly. You don't need to hack me, compared to Tang Sanshao's early gods, at least my arrangement is much more reasonable in my heart.

------------------------- dividing line----------------------

Several bigwigs in the capital came, but only Tang Shaoyi didn't arrive because of identity issues. Even Li Jingfang was invited by Hu Xiaoyan.

All we have to talk about is a 100,000-kilometer railway plan.

This plan was originally recalled by Hu Xiaoyan when he first saw Sun Dacang's letter. At that time, he thought it was very interesting, so when he met Komura Shoutaro in Shanghai, he had an idea and told the other party about this opportunity, so as to obtain the other party's goal of sending troops to the northeast to attack Russia.

Secondly, it is also the purpose of Hu Xiaoyan's self-respect. Only when Japan occupies the Northeast can Emperor Xuanwu, a shrewd guy, have to rely on himself more in the Northeast.

So Komura Shoutaro had to be fooled. Wang Tingjiao and Zhang Shao retreated to Liaoning under the first wave of Japanese attacks, ceding Jilin to the Japanese. Japan uses Jilin as a base to strike at Russia. However, Komura Shotaro did not attack Russia immediately at all, because he wanted Hu Xiaoyan to come up with evidence after the plan of the 100,000-kilometer railway plan was approved by the court, so he was willing to turn his face with the Russians. You must know that Heilongjiang Province has at least 1,000 kilometers of railways built and will be built by Lao Maozi! With these railways, Japan will be able to get a piece of the 100,000-kilometer railway plan.

But Hu Xiaoyan did not give Komura a chance at all, and he fooled the Russian prince, Admiral Yevgeny Ivanovich Alekseev, so that the arrogant prince took the lead in the attack.

His Royal Highness also had to attack first, on the one hand, there was no room for two tigers in the northeast, and on the other hand, the shame of his capture in the city of Beijing made him have no face to return to Moscow. So he wants to fight for merit! He was going to make it back to Moscow.

Alekseev is not a fool, he knows that Hu Xiaoyan is fooling him, but he just believes it, it is because of the ass that the head is decided. His ass position is unstable and needs to be stabilized.

The Russians launched an offensive but were annihilated by the Japanese god Dashan Yan at Caijiagou, and the entire Heilongjiang River was almost lost. If it weren't for the strong demand of Zheng Jun and others in Harbin to build a fortress to defend it, I am afraid that the Japanese army would have killed the Russians long ago.

It's not that the Russians can't defeat the Japanese army, but the Russian forces in the Far East, most of them died under the city of Beijing, and although the rest went back, their spirit was gone. The combat effectiveness has decreased a lot, and I fought with the Japanese for half a catty against eight taels, but there are too many Japanese troops!

In addition to the 50,000 Japanese troops defending the border of Jilin and Liaoning, about 100,000 others entered Heilongjiang, and now more than 80,000 Japanese troops are besieging Harbin and its nearby fortresses, while less than 40,000 are defending Harbin.

40,000 to 80,000, if it weren't for the Russians' ammunition and food in the fortress, the Russians would not be able to hold out now.

Dashanyan is a standard soldier, originally he and the staff of the base camp had the same idea, that is, to stop when they entered Jilin, but the situation is not subject to people's will, not to mention that Hu Xiaoyan is making trouble?

Now that the fight has started, Dashanyan's idea is very simple. Since it is fought, it is necessary to win the war and beat the Russians to fear! Otherwise, it would be impossible to obtain the railways of the three eastern provinces, and it would also provoke the powerful European country of Lucia (the Japanese name for Russia).

The 100,000-kilometer railway plan will take Nanjing as the central point to connect the east, west, north and south. The impact is palpable. Mongolia's leather products, ginseng and skin goods in the northeast, silk tea in the south, iron ore in the west, Shu embroidery and grain in Sichuan, etc., once the railways in these places are built, it is foreseeable for the economy of the whole country. And investors from all countries who have mastered railway transportation can at least make a lot of money!

This is the purpose of Komura Shoutaro to take the risk of war with Russia and take all the railways in the Northeast! As long as he has the Northeast Railway in hand, he can sell the specialties of North Korea and Northeast China to all parts of China. It's a lot more cost-effective than selling some cotton cloth and selling some rifles or something. As for North Korean goods? Anyway, the Japanese would not pay the Korean workers much, and as long as such low-priced goods were transported to the whole of China through the Northeast Railway, they would definitely be able to defeat the goods of the Qing Dynasty and European and American countries, and win good commercial interests.

After Hu Xiaoyan explained the causes of the Russo-Japanese War and the inducements of the Sichuan Governor, he began to ask the opinions of everyone present.

The 100,000-kilometer railway project, in fact, must have cost more than one billion taels of silver. The railroad tracks and workers' salaries alone are enough to stump everyone. This is also the reason why Sun Dacang was ridiculed by officials all over China after he came up with this plan. Sun Cannon is too idealistic, he has no strength in his hands but is pretentious. When he was still a small talent, he dared to submit a book to Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang just criticized a sentence of "scholar's opinion". This Sun Cannon actually went abroad to call for wind and rain, intending to bring down the Manchu Qing! If it doesn't sound good, Sun Cannon is naturally anti-bone.

At least Li Hongzhang, the prime minister of a country, also read your submission and approved your submission. From here, it can be seen that Li Hongzhang's instrument is extraordinary. If you don't believe it, go to another governor and see if he has a chance to see your letter and whether he will reply to your letter!

Sun Dacang's actions sometimes make people feel a little inexplicable.

As for the rails, Hu Xiaoyan is ready to ask the Ma'anshan Iron Mine in Anhui and the Hanyang Iron Works in Huguang to provide them. His steel mill has been raised for more than a year. The money spent is already in the millions. It shouldn't be difficult to get the rails right at this time. Not to mention that there are universities in Shanghai that can provide technical support.

The problem of sleepers, Hu Xiaoyan handed over to Zhan Tianyou, this old man has been building railways in various places in recent years, he should have a way.

Sure enough, Zhan Tianyou agreed to come down. I promise to report back after I get in touch.

Then there's the question of the technician. There are several people in the railway construction of the children's middle school in the United States, and Zhan Tianyou has proposed to be seconded. Hu Xiaoyan agreed. Neither Li Hongzhang nor Zaifeng had any reason to refuse this condition.

After that, it's time to take charge of the center.

Hu Xiaoyan looked at the few people seated.

Cai Yuanpei? He definitely can't, Hu Xiaoyan's Anhui University still needs him. He couldn't leave.

Zhang Binglin? He also has to deal with the government affairs in Ma'anshan, and he can't leave.

Yan fu? It is said that Emperor Xuanwu Zaifeng wanted to use him as the new Minister of Education. I can't leave.

Sun Lutang? Never mind.

Li Jingfang? This is a good choice. This person is generally not a pioneer enough, but he is more than successful. And this person's father is the eldest son of Li Hongzhang, the prime minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and I believe that no one will not give face.

With a big face and knowledge of foreign languages, he can communicate directly with foreign technicians and foreign financial personnel. And this man's ability is also up to the mark. It's you.

"Brother Li, the position of railway chief belongs to you."

Li Jingfang was stunned for a moment and pointed to his nose. was a little inexplicable, he was originally a little suspicious of Hu Xiaoyan's intention to invite him, and asked his father. Li Hongzhang just smiled mysteriously.

Now he knew what Li Hongzhang was laughing at again.

"Good!" Li Jingfang was also a little excited after reading the plan, and his father did not object, but was happy to see it come to fruition, so why did he refuse? This is a rhythm that will go down in history!

There is one less person in charge of money. However, Hu Xiaoyan was not worried and did not say much.

After a few more people discussed and perfected the plan, several people immediately left.

But Hu Xiaoyan couldn't go. After waiting for almost twenty minutes, Qin Yun walked in with a person.

"Hu, it's rare that you still remember my friend." Clint walked in and said humorously.

"If you don't think I'm an enemy, it's fine." Hu Xiaoyan smiled and pulled Qin Yun to sit beside him. With a beautiful woman by your side, even if you can't eat it, you can still nourish your eyes.

Clint shrugged his shoulders and did a good job.

"Can you give me a cup of coffee?"

"Sorry, it's only tea." Hu Xiaoyan gestured to Qin Yun.

"Black tea."

Black tea is not so troublesome. Qin Yun quickly rushed to the front of Clinde.

"Thank you, beautiful young lady." Clint smiled.

Qin Yun sat down beside Hu Xiaoyan with some embarrassment.

"I don't think you're just going to treat me to tea today. Excellency! Clinder pulled out his cigar.

"Of course, we haven't had tea together in a long time." Hu Xiaoyan looked serious.

"Well, you win. Wildly. Clinder took a nonchalant puff on his cigar.

"I don't know how many cups His Majesty the Emperor of your country smashed recently?"

"Not a single one. Your Majesty said that although it was somewhat unexpected, he was able to understand what Your Excellency was doing. Clint smiled slightly.

"We're old friends, so let's stop talking nonsense. It's a railroad problem. ”

"You're well-informed." Hu Xiaoyan was helpless. The Manchus did not have the concept of secrecy.

"Money, I guess. We are willing to go out of any country. As long as you, Governor Hu and Li Zhongtang, can sign and guarantee. I'm sure no one will object. Clinder put down his cigar.

"Then it's the problem that comes up in the construction of the railway. The technical problems will be solved by the British. What's the problem with Governor Hu thinking of me? ”

"Qin Yun, open the map." Hu Xiaoyan pointed to the scroll on the table.

The map of the Manchus has been drawn. It was redrawn with the help of teachers and students majoring in geography at Shanghai Chengxin University on the basis of past maps in the Manchu Imperial Library, plus Hu Xiaoyan's special arrangement for the rest of the airship troops to attack in all directions. At least this map of China is the most accurate map of China in the world.

"Here! Is Germany interested? Hu Xiaoyan pointed to the southerly location on the map.
