Chapter 36: Fengtian (2)

If you want to get rich first to build roads, after Xu Shichang took charge of the Northeast, with the maturity of basic industries such as the central group ash factory, it also promoted the construction of highways, after all, this highway is simpler than the railway, and the highway is repaired, and the communication of the entire Northeast is convenient.

As for the basic industry, Xu Shichang is even more proud, even the Qing court has vigorously praised this matter, with the leader of the Zhongxing Group, coupled with Xu Shichang's efforts to attract businessmen from all over the world to set up factories in Fengtian, plus Xu Shichang promoted soybean planting along the railway, as well as the promotion of corn planting, increased grain production, and reduced the pests and diseases caused by the large number of sorghum planted by farmers in Northeast China in the past, Fengtian not only came out of the government deficit within two years, but also was responsible for the annual government deficit in Rehe Province.

Through the new glass windows of the Governor's Mansion by ZTE Group, Xu Shichang looked at the brightly lit night outside, Xu Shichang saw the hope of the Northeast, and he once again found his value in the Northeast.

"Your Excellency!" Wang Huaiqing shouted in a rough voice.

Xu Shichang looked at Wang Huaiqing, who was covered in sweat, and smiled slightly, this Wang Huaiqing really looks like a rural man, on the surface, he looks a little honest, but in his heart he is a ghost, which is why Xu Shichang has always kept him by his side.

"Mao Xuan! What makes you happy like this! Xu Shichang waved his hand.

"My lord, there is news from the side of Gartu, Fengtian right and back two patrol battalions have killed more than 1,500 Mongolian bandits!" Wang Huaiqing wore his sleeves all the way, revealing his thick arms, and handed the battle report from Galtu to Xu Shichang.

Xu Shichang looked at the battle report of this Gartu, while holding his beard, he couldn't help but smile: "Kill 1,500 Mongolian bandits, Feng Delin of the left patrol battalion in the previous section also sent me a report saying that the Mongolian bandits were killed, more than 2,000 people, these old road patrol battalions before and after, the number of Mongolian bandits reported before and after, the Mongolian bandits in the area of the Zhelimu League alone have been killed tens of thousands, it seems that this Mongolian bandit is still not finished?" ”

"Haha" Wang Huaiqing on the side echoed and laughed: "After I came to Fengtian, I found that this Fengtian patrol battalion is not good at fighting, but bragging is first-class, the number of Mongolian bandits is not more than 10,000 people, and the largest number of Taoke Taohu has been exterminated in the first town under the control of He in Taonan, only thousands of people want to flee for their lives in Mount Suolon, this Zhelimu League's Yashi bandit gang plus Baiyin Dalai can't withstand this Taoke Taohu, this patrol battalion can really lie about the war exploits, if these old troops are really capable, Just like He Tong, he recovered a city in the area of the Jelimu League. ”

Wang Huaiqing was full of disdain for the commanders of these patrol battalions, of course, because after the commander of the middle road patrol battalion of He Tianci's department was expanded into the first town of the new army, Wang Huaiqing was promoted to the commander of the middle road of Fengtian, and also applied to go to the Zhelimu League to suppress bandits, wanting to prove his chance, but considering the safety of Fengtian, Xu Shichang still left this of his cronies in the provincial capital Fengtian, but Wang Huaiqing had opinions on the commanders of other patrol battalions because of this matter.

And then there is He Tianci in order to please the most trusted person around Xu Shichang, when he left Fengtian, he also sent the water Lianzhu captured in the Russian War to Wang Huaiqing's middle road patrol battalion, although this Wang Huaiqing is Xu Shichang's henchman, but the policy of the imperial court is to give priority to the new army of weapons and equipment, so this Wang Huaiqing is very happy to see these treasures, as the saying goes: "The mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of taking people are short." This Wang Huaiqing naturally spoke from God.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Shichang, the old fox, but when he heard it, this Wang Huaiqing was inclined to He Tianci, and it seemed that his henchman had reaped the benefits of He Tianci, holding his beard and saying: "Mao Xuan!" Why do you speak like this, I'm afraid you have a personal relationship with him. Xu Shichang stroked his beard and said.

"The Governor's eyes are like a torch, and he does have some personal relations with He Tianci, but Mao Xuan also sees that the Governor admires him a lot, and this person is young and promising, and the Lord is also in his eyes, not to mention, since the Governor took office, he first defeated the Rì army in Yanji, which is the solution to our urgent need, and then the old army has recently eliminated a small group of Mongolian bandits, to say that the big merit is still the eleventh town, and it is only half a year to go to Taonan, but it has recovered Taonan Mansion, including one government and four counties."

"As for the other patrol battalions, if they really have the strength, they would have exterminated the three thousand Mongolian bandits of the Zhelimu League long ago, why bother to kill how many traitors on the one hand, and at the same time ask the imperial court to increase the troops of the Zhelimu League, and humiliate that if you want to exterminate the rebels of the Zhelimu League, you still have to rely on the eleventh town under the control of He, I think He Tongzhi may also be accumulating strength in Taonan, and He Tongzhi is also relocating the herdsmen in Taonan Prefecture, listening to the people who came from Taonan, Taonan and Fengtian, Jilin The commercial transactions have resumed to rì prosperity, Moreover, He Tianci has a good relationship with local businessmen, and many factories have been established in the Taonan area, and many herdsmen have given up their nomadic life and chosen to work in factories. ”

"This matter is of great significance to the stability of the Dongmeng area, I think the consciousness of the court and the adults is also to stabilize the Dongmeng, not only limited to the extermination of the Mongolian bandits, but also between the lowly positions, this is the first choice to stabilize the eastern Mongolia!" Wang Huaiqing was not embarrassed by Xu Shichang's explanation, and said with a smile.

Although this Wang Huaiqing looks like a mountain village man, but this mouth is still very good at talking, so it is also quite liked by Xu Shichang, Xu Shichang nodded again and again after hearing this, this Wang Huaiqing said that he was inclined to He Tianci, but it is also reasonable, He Tianci is also in Taonan, Xu Shichang also knows, especially He Tianci asked about his brother in Taonan, which also made Xu Shichang look down on He Tianci even more.

Of course, Xu Shichang not only looked down on He Tianci, but also in this matter, Xu Shichang, the old fox, also faintly felt that He Tianci was not ambitious, although he liked He Tianci, but He Tianci was not Xu Shichang's cronies after all, so Xu Shichang also left a hand in this matter, that is, he originally planned to transfer He Tianci to Fengtian after exterminating the bandits, but after seeing He Tianci's behavior in Taonan, Xu Shichang was more and more worried that He Tianci would one day threaten his position. Even if there are no bandits now, Xu Shichang also wants to place He Tianci in Mengdong and prevent He Tianci from threatening his position.

At this time, Xu Shichang didn't say a word, which made this Xu Shichang's henchman Wang Huaiqing elusive, but through Xu Shichang's eyes, he could see that Xu Shichang's feelings for He Tianci were very complicated.

Xu Shichang really admired He Tianci as a talent, but through the past two years of getting along, he found that He Tianci was too ambitious, and his power in the Northeast was also like rì Zhongtian, and he was worried that He Tianci would one day jump out of his control and threaten his status.

"Maybe I'm really old! Young people's path, let them go on their own! Xu Shichang sighed helplessly, all he could do was this, as long as He Tianci did not threaten his status.

"Mao Xuan! Let's go down, and by the way, send a telegram to He Tianci, telling him the news that the patrol battalion has exterminated more than 1,500 Mongolian bandits in the Gartu area, and let his eleventh town speed up the progress of suppressing bandits, and exterminate the rebels of the Zhelimu League before the coming year. ”

After entering June, the rain on the grassland began to increase, a gorgeous rainbow over Taonan, across the blue sky and white clouds, the air after the rain is exceptionally fresh, He Tianci breathed fresh air, looked at the red bricks and green tiles of the houses, and rushed to a trace of relief, although there is no news about Ma Zhanshan of the Zhelimu League, but this Taonan has settled down.

The dry weather in the grassland in the summer has improved, but there are more big mosquitoes on the grassland, most of these soldiers brought by themselves are from Mukden, and even many non-commissioned officers are southerners, who are very afraid of these mosquitoes on the grassland.

But fortunately, after half a year of training, the soldiers of the first town have gradually adapted to the life of the grassland, of course, the director of the logistics department Li Enyi is also actively improving the living conditions of the soldiers, the barracks of the barracks in the past half a year have been basically completed, in Li Enyi's own words, it is better than his own house, but then again, for these Northeast soldiers who are used to living in hot kangtou, it is not suitable to live in a yurt, so for these Northeast soldiers, as long as it is a house, it is more comfortable than a yurt.

My lord, here is a letter from Fengtian. The herald hurried to the front, then dismounted and handed it over.

He Tianci opened the letter and saw that it was a joint signature of Zhang Chuanwen and Zhang Yong. Want to invest in the Shanghai stock market? He Tianci vaguely remembered that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Shanghai financial rubber stock market was indeed crazy for a period of time, and nearly 100 million taels of silver were taken away by British speculators, and the serious financial crisis accelerated the collapse of the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, in this biography and Zhang Yong's letter, they also wrote about the origin of Zhang Yong's cousin Zhang Zhao, as well as his understanding of the stock market, as well as some of the current situation in the stock market.

He Tianci thought for a while, okay, this million is not much, according to the letter, this Zhang Zhao is not an ordinary person, and it doesn't matter if he loses one million in the stock market, his own activity funds can be tens of millions, plus these fixed assets, the factory must have hundreds of millions, and if this matter is in Li Enyi, he will directly agree, but Zhang Chuanwen is different, Zhang Chuanwen has always been unsure of things not to do, so he will ask He Tianci.

He Tianci raised his head and said to the stupid roe deer beside him: "Roe deer, you go and let the dispatcher send a telegram to the Zhongxing Group in Fengtian, and then it will not affect the industrial plan, and you can make your own decisions." (To be continued.) )
