Chapter 146: Standing and Earning Money
Yuan Shikai agreed so quickly to let the Jianghuai army go north to recover Mengjiang, which was somewhat unexpected by Chai Dongliang. With his understanding of Yuan Shikai, there must be something wrong within Beiyang, and Gao Chuguan and Gu Weijun's analysis is also such a result, transferring a part of the Jianghuai Army to recover Mengjiang, although it can make Chai Dongliang gain fame, but it also separates part of the Jianghuai Army from the Anhui base camp, and a lone army goes deep into Mobei, and the military expenses and materials consumed alone will be an astronomical amount, which also indirectly weakens Chai Dongliang's strength.
Yuan Shikai's idea was to kill two birds with one stone, causing the Jianghuai army to be thorned in the back to maintain the unity of Beiyang, and so that Chai Dongliang could not take care of each other, and the army that recovered Mengjiang was always under the threat of the superior strength of the Beiyang Army. In the future, if there is a change in the world, the north and the south will fight, and this will become a hostage in Yuan Shikai's hands!
This abacus is not not precise, but Yuan Shikai would never have dreamed that the relationship between Chai Dongliang and Jin Merchants is so close, and the largest "Dadetong", "Shengchang", and "Weizi Wulian" among the Jin Merchants in Guanghua Bank all have shares in it, and Jin Merchants and Guanghua Bank are both prosperous and loss-making. The foundation laid by the Jin merchants who operated in Mongolia and Russia for hundreds of years provided strong support for Chai Dongliangguang's restoration of Mongolia. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court conveyed the holy decree to the Mongol princes, and always sent telegrams directly to the semicolons of the Jin merchants in Baotou, Kulen, and Kyakhta. It can be seen how deep the foundation of Jin merchants is here!
Moreover, the Russian demon monk Rasputin, who had just been expelled from the Russian court back to his hometown in Siberia, was also contacted by Chai Dongliang, this guy was at the moment when he lost power and was most lonely, Chai Dongliang sent someone to give him a huge sum of 50,000 rubles for him to squander in his hometown in Siberia.
Yan Weifan, the treasurer of Dadetong, found Rasputin cowering in a chapel, who was fooling around with a few local village girls, drinking muddy barley wine and boasting about the luxury of the court and the empress's esteem for him. When he saw boxes of high-quality Ukrainian vodka and the huge sum of money with his drunken eyes, his eyes almost fell out of his sockets. And the village women, who were skeptical of his words, were also impressed by Rasputin, believing that he was indeed a big man.
If history doesn't change, in two months this guy will be back in St. Petersburg and once again the most powerful figure in Russian politics.
When a person is in trouble, the kindness of a porridge and a meal will make him never forget, and the effect of burning a cold stove is a hundred times stronger than the icing on the cake. Chai Dongliang is still very clear about this truth, so he made a full set of favors, not only gave him money and wine, but also gave him a huge cross with gold and rubies, and a set of priest's robes carefully made by French tailors. Yan Weifan is the chief shopkeeper of the West Gang, that mouth can say straw into gold bars and live dead people, every word almost speaks to Rasputin's heart, making him feel like eating ginseng fruit, all 360 acupoints in his body are opened, and every pore is full of comfort.
Chai Dongliang also asked the translator to write a letter to Rasputin, in which he told him that after calculating, Rasputin would regain the trust of Tsarist Russia in the ninth month of the Russian calendar, and if a telegram was sent from Poland to inquire about the condition of the Russian crown prince, he could directly return to the tsar, and the crown prince's condition would be alleviated, God bless Russia!
For a god like Rasputin, it would be the best means to let him witness the appearance of a little miracle! Chai Dongliang used the information provided by the book friend and also played the role of a prophet.
With the foundation laid by the Jin merchants, and the internal support of the Russian court, this lone army stationed in Mongolia will become an important chess piece, laying a solid foundation for the future control of Manchuria! Chai Dongliang believes that in the near future, he will be able to monopolize China's supply of arms and other strategic materials to Russia, and he will also be able to obtain nickel ore and other important mineral resources needed to smelt special steel from Russia.
Chai Dongliang has rarely been in the book friend group and book review area recently, although this has given him great help and endless warmth in the initial crossing day, but recently he even deliberately wants to avoid communication with book friends.
Most of the book friends in the group are post-80s and post-90s, and there is no social chaos or material scarcity in their memories, and they regard politics as an online game, fantasizing that as long as there is enough force, they can solve all problems, and they don't even care whether this force has a foundation or not. However, daily routine updates are still indispensable, and Chai Dongliang also needs to get help from the book friend group in science and technology, politics and economics. Readers are accustomed to the massive production of advanced weapons in every book, regardless of whether the economy can support it. What makes Chai Dongliang even more ridiculous is that many of the heavy industry enterprises run by the protagonists in the book do not make anything except weapons??? You don't even have raw materials, and you can produce weapons out of thin air?
There has been a lot of scolding in the book review area recently, accusing Chai Dongliang of being a saint, and many people even said directly that what is boiled and constitutionalism is bullshit, and they are all tools used to fool others, and only the barrel of a gun has power. Some book friends also said that Britain's strength is built on the basis of an invincible navy, and the strength of the United States is also built on the basis of aircraft carrier formations.
Chai Dongliang didn't know whether to be sad or ridiculous. This kind of regent Zaifeng once said a few years ago. When Zhang Zhidong was dying, the love of dogs and horses was attacked, and he persuaded Zaifeng to establish a constitution as soon as possible to alleviate the people's grievances, and at the same time pay attention to the people's livelihood and suffering. Zaifeng said indifferently: "It's okay, we have soldiers!" Only a year later, Wuchang went off the rails, and the behemoth of the Qing Dynasty collapsed after a month's effort.
At that moment, the barrel of the gun seemed so weak and powerless!
Sometimes Chai Dongliang really wants to argue with his book friends, the first year of the Republic of China is the time when the whole country highly respects the establishment of a republican system and the maintenance of constitutionalism. Yuan Shikai has such great strength, and in the first year of the Republic of China, he also has to pretend to have great respect for Ming Cook and Constitutionalism.
The Qing Dynasty died in opposition to the constitution, how could Yin Jian, as a latecomer, not be greatly shocked? The people lost confidence in the constitution and the legal system, which was after countless blows such as the assassination of Song Jiaoren, the war to protect the law, the second revolution, and the warlord melee, and in the first year of the Republic of China, it was the time when people admired the legal system and the Ming Cook the most, and even to the point of some superstition.
Which of the European and American powers did not take constitutionalism as a premise to become strong? Although it is indecent for parliamentarians to quarrel in parliament, it is many times better than a warlord deciding the fate of a country and a nation with the barrel of a gun. The examples of Yangzhou and Anqing are in front of us, and it took Chai Dongliang half a year to restore the stability and prosperity of the city after only one day of destruction. This is just a group of chaotic soldiers, if it is a warlord melee and artillery fire, I really don't know how far the situation will collapse.
The reason why readers criticize Chai Dongliang is that China in the 21st century cannot come up with constitutionalism, and it can be done in the early years of the Republic of China? The only tool for maintaining order is violence.
What is the logic of this? Because I tried it once and didn't succeed, I said that these things are not suitable for China's water and soil. The feudal dynasty doesn't know how many times it has been overthrown, why can [***] still be entrenched? Could it be that the day the Qin Dynasty fell meant that the centralized rule in China had completely failed? Then why is there still the Han and Tang dynasties with great power and the two Song dynasties with splendid culture?
If the two parties in the United States speak with guns every day, and if London's Downing Street is inhabited by people who intend to use force to maintain domestic order, will there still be a British Empire that has ruled the world for 300 years? It doesn't take too long, it only takes ten years of civil war to destroy this empire, and the war with the deadliest people in American history is the Civil War, which has made Americans reflect for more than a hundred years!
Do you really think that Civil War is an online game? Each protagonist can have nine lives, and after a while, they can recover with full health?
The longer he has been in this world, and the more he has come into contact with the real side of this world, the more Chai Dongliang feels that the distance between himself and his book friends in the 21st century becomes. Many people in the book friend group have suggested that we should vigorously develop traditional Chinese medicine, but Chai Dongliang's personal experience is that a water factory and an urban sewer network require more than 10,000 famous doctors. Clean drinking water is much more important to people's health than training a few famous doctors and digging out a few secret recipes. Since the tap water was opened to Anqing and Wuhu, there have been no outbreaks of epidemics such as cholera, and common diseases such as pediatric diarrhea have also decreased significantly. Chai Dongliang is planning to promote cowpox cultivation throughout Anhui Province and Jiujiang Province, and completely eradicate the smallpox virus that has plagued China for thousands of years in his own area.
In the 21st century, book lovers sitting in air-conditioned rooms surfing the Internet cannot imagine what a difficult living environment the Chinese were in a hundred years ago. In the same way, in the harmonious society of the 21st world, the young people who have become crazy because they are overwhelmed by the mortgage cannot imagine the ardent desire and enthusiasm of the students and intellectuals for constitutionalism and republican a hundred years ago.
Chai Dongliang finished a chapter with a turtle speed code, opened the author's area and sent the manuscript out, and then opened the book friend group with the habitual surname, I haven't seen the deputy moderator Ma Xiaobraid for a long time, Chai Dongliang needs him to provide some information about the manufacturing industry. This guy has been doing things abroad, and I don't know if it's done well.
As soon as I opened the book, I saw the iron-blooded mad knife and said excitedly: "Mr. Hou is powerful!" I didn't expect Shanda to have such a bloody surname! ”
"Yes, this time Yao Chen, Feng Xiaogang, and Han Han are all supporting Li Dayan!"
"Some departments are too bastards, and in the 21st century, they are still engaged in the nine clans, which is really bullshit!"
Seeing the discussion among the readers, Chai Dongliang was a little curious, and asked casually: "What's wrong?" ”
"I love little wolf dog" saw Chai Dongliang on the line, and hurriedly typed a red lip pattern: "Big, I miss you to death, kiss one!" ”
"Get out!"
"In the past, when I was basking in the moon with others, I called them Xiao Tiantian, but now the new people replace the old people, and I tell them to get out!"
"You can die!" Whenever Chai Dongliang thinks of the embarrassing stubble and acne on his face of "I love little wolf dogs", he can't help but feel his stomach turn upside down.
"There's a love affair!"
"It's not annihilation, it's sentiment!"
Other book friends have coaxed, it seems that they have also seen through the true face of "I love little wolf dogs", and no one mistakes him for a woman anymore.
Seeing Chai Dongliang going online, the Iron Blood Knife hurriedly asked: "Da, why did you let the protagonist put the industrial base in Shanghai, it is not the protagonist's own territory." ”
Chai Dongliang explained with a wry smile: "Anhui and Jiujiang are not suitable for building large shipyards, and the 10,000-ton giant ship cannot travel on the Yangtze River when the water dries up in winter. I'm not building a hovercraft! ”
The iron-blooded madman said worriedly: "Then put the industrial base in Shanghai, and you are not afraid that other warlords will rob it?" After all, it's not the protagonist's territory. ”
Chai Dongliang couldn't cry or laugh, but he couldn't help but explain: "Brother, that's Shanghai!" The head office of Guanghua Group is also a private industry, and Yu Qiaqing and other foreign bank executives have shares here, which warlord has eaten the leopard and dared to drive the army into Shanghai to rob private industry? Not to mention the warlords, during the Russo-Russian War, the Russian warships that were scattered fled to Shanghai, and the combined fleet did not dare to chase them, and during the 128 Anti-Japanese War, he said that he was too fierce in Shanghai, and the British Far East Fleet directly transferred the warships from Singapore to Shanghai, and the political axe of the Japanese was immediately soft??? Shanghai is the porcelain shop of the great powers, the interests of all countries are entangled here, and it is much safer to put the heavy industry base here than in Anhui! ”
The iron-blooded madman sent a helpless avatar, and then typed out a line of small words: "What you say may be reasonable, but the problem is that readers are difficult to understand, they think that things that are unreasonable, even if they are real historical things that have happened, they will not believe it, the most important thing as a writer is that what is written seems reasonable and credible, not true." ”
Chai Dongliang was speechless, so he had to change the topic and said, "What did you just say?" So lively? ”
The old book-eating mouse replied, "Oh, we're talking about Li Dayan's candidacy for the district people's congress." ”
Chai Dongliang's eyes lit up: "Oh, now you can read the power to run?" ”
The Iron Blood Madness Knife said in an extremely disdainful tone: "Tang Yuan, you won't really be in the early years of the Republic of China, right?" Reading power candidacy? This is the Celestial Empire, where do you think it is? Li Dayan was afraid that his son would be hit psychologically, and begged the sponsor to PS his appearance in the newspaper, even if it was PS into a trash can or a tennis racket, but the sponsor and the newspaper said that even if PS became a dog, he couldn't be in the newspaper??? The relevant departments, the most mysterious unit of this dynasty! ”
Chai Dongliang was once again unsurprisingly disappointed, it was so difficult to run for a small district people's congress deputy, and he could still get the matter of the nine tribes of Zhulian, no wonder the Chinese in the 21st century did not report hope for the constitution, but he was still a little puzzled: "Then what does this matter have to do with the grand Hou Zong?" ”
The mouse who gnawed the book became excited: "Mr. Hou is still very powerful, and he replied to Li Dayan on Weibo: These people are too shameless!" Feng Xiaogang, Han Han, Yao Chen and others are all supporting Li Dayan, Feng Xiaogang and Han Han want to sponsor Li Dayan's son, saying that if this child can get ahead in the future, don't forget to thank Chinese racing and Chinese movies??? Hehe! ”
Chai Dongliang felt a little helpless, and typed a line of words: "Send Li Dayan's blog post to the group to share, let me take a look." ”
After reading this article, Chai Dongliang felt inexplicably sad, Li Dayan has always been a guy with a pen tip sharper than a knife, and this time, in order to prevent his son from feeling social injustice since he was a child, he was almost begging newspapers and sponsors, but naturally there was no follow-up. Newspapers and sponsors were called by the relevant departments to severely reprimand, demanding that the sponsorship of Li Dayan's son be revoked and all advertisements withdrawn.
At the end of the article, Li Dayan posted this paragraph: "When I voluntarily ask to be a dog or a racket, I can't protect my child's self-esteem, what else am I afraid of." Civilization must move forward, and I humbly tell you, you can stop a fierce train, but you can't stop a tenacious ant father! ”
A father, in order not to be hit by his son's dreams, would rather let his image become a dog??? But even so, it can't be satisfied, and being a dog has become a luxury.
Li Dayan's situation is almost predictable, and it is extremely difficult to emulate Zhang Mazi in "Let the Bullets Fly" and earn money while standing in China. If you want to make money standing up, you will lose even the opportunity to make money on your knees.
However, God gives people a backbone, not when they are used to kowtow as a spring, the word "person" is born to stand!
Chai Dongliang remembered a sentence that I didn't know where I had seen it: "Don't think that kneeling is safe, even if you kneel lower than anyone else, you may be kicked twice inexplicably!" ”
When writing hand-coded words on the Internet, you have to worry about whether the article will be hijacked by aliens at any time, when the peddler pawn exchanges tears and sweat for a few change, he may be beaten by the city management and break his tendons, when the Shengdou Xiaomin sits at home behind closed doors, he will face the forced demolition of the house, and the era when 80,000 people will be taken away for a Universiade??? To ridicule constitutionalism and the rule of law as bullshit is a level of consciousness that future generations will use to ridicule our ignorance. It's like we laugh at the self-proclaimed invulnerability of the Boxers, and use their magic skills to resist foreign guns and artillery.
"Civilization is bound to move forward, and anyone who tries to drag this power backwards will surely be nailed to the pillar of shame of history to serve those who come after it??? I, Chai Dongliang, solemnly swear, I will make all compatriots realize the dream of making money standing in this world, and no longer kneel to anyone, whether it is Chinese or foreigners, they cannot let them lower their noble heads! For this goal, I will do everything I can to pay any price, even my life! ”
At this moment, Chai Dongliang's eyes were full of tears!
