Chapter 55: Initial Results
The signing room of the Wuhu Military Advisory Branch is always an endless case document, and Chai Dongliang read it from dawn to noon, before stretching his already stiff body and feeling pain in his lumbar spine.
Under the supervision of the soldiers of the new army, in order to keep the black yarn hat on their heads, the officials honestly handed over the surplus land in exchange for a more or less stack of bonds and stocks, but the resistance of ordinary landlords was very serious. Especially in the Anqing area, there are even powerful people who collude with bandits to resist land reform by force.
The soldiers of the Wuhu regiment opened fire, exterminated the two powerful bandits, and shot the leaders who resisted the land reform after a public trial, and the situation was only slightly reversed, but the landlords and rich peasants still had great resistance to the land reform, and the phenomenon of concealing land and making false reports to people was extremely common. At present, a total of more than 300,000 mu of land has been exchanged for stocks and bonds from Anqing and Wuhu, and there is barely enough land to resettle the eliminated patrol battalion soldiers, but there is not much land to distribute to those homeless people who are eager to wear it!
Chai Dongliang had no choice but to set up porridge farms everywhere in the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction, so as to give these people a bite to eat. Then he selected a group of strong people from the displaced people to repair water conservancy, clean the streets, and do some chores to mix the whole family's chewing, but it was also a drop in the bucket, Wuhu and Anqing were still full of beggars in unclothed clothes.
The patrol battalion's training work is quite effective, and these green battalion masters, who were originally doing small business while holding one tael, four coins and five salaries, have been training very hard for the sake of Long Yang's face of five yuan a month, and even exceeded the strength of the new army, and some people fainted on the training ground every day.
Anqing and Wuhu have 28 patrol battalions, and although they are insufficient, there are more than 10,000 people. Chai Dongliang turned some of the old and weak into patrol police to maintain law and order on the ground, and the rest carried out regular military training and cultural literacy to eliminate the ruffian habits in them, and then carried out systematic technical training, and then gave priority to work in the industrial park. During the training period, he received a salary of five yuan like the new army. If the industrial park cannot be resettled temporarily, some land will be allocated to them to go home and cultivate. But most people don't want to leave, Lai is in the industrial park and Wu Jintang and others soaked mushrooms, after all, facing the loess with their backs to the sky in the soil to eat, they may not be able to earn five foreign dollars, being a worker is still much stronger than being a mud leg!
The reorganization of the new army into the Anhui Revolutionary Army went relatively smoothly, the training of the new army was originally relatively formal, and these young people had a kind of vigor that was extremely lacking in later generations; almost everyone thought that they were heroes and heroes who conquered the world, and everyone dreamed of making the country rich and the army strong.
That's a rarity!
The 4,000 new armies in Wuhu and Anqing were reorganized into one brigade with three regiments under its jurisdiction, Kuang Haishan and Lu Kai were the commanders of the second and third regiments respectively, and the first regiment was the teaching regiment, which was responsible for the training of middle- and lower-level officers, and Chai Dongliang personally served as the regiment commander. An artillery battalion, a cavalry battalion, and an engineer battalion were also set up directly under the brigade. At the time of Zhangde's autumn, Yu Xiaobao, a sharpshooter who had competed with German instructors, served as the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, and the battalion commander of the cavalry battalion was the bearded He Tianshou. The Anhui Army Primary School was renamed the Anqing Non-commissioned Officer Military Academy, and after installing a group of political instructors of the revolutionary party, it began to carry out the rapid training of non-commissioned officers.
The shooting range resounded in the sky every day, and the bullets moved from the Anqing armory were consumed rapidly, and the internal repair station was temporarily unable to produce due to the relocation, so Chai Dongliang had to set aside a million money to buy it urgently from a foreign bank. Among them, 500,000 are to buy bullets and shells, and the remaining 500,000 are to buy machines needed for the production of weapons.
For a time, the river was full of ships of various navies, especially the German Navy, which aimed its guns directly at the Xiaogushan Battery, and the soldiers of the First Brigade were angry. Chai Dongliang strictly ordered that the first cannon should not be fired first, otherwise the military law would severely punish them, and the blood-soaked artillery had no choice but to watch these navies flying the flags of various countries show off their might on their own territory.
Chai Dongliang was also angry at the arrogance of the German Navy, but the current limited strength was not the time to start a head-on conflict with the foreign powers, and he had to endure this evil anger if he didn't want to!
Three years, three years at most, and three years later is the First World War, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for China to rise when Europe is broken.
In another time and space, China missed this opportunity in vain because the warlords had their own ghosts and the endless civil war of the gods and goddesses, although it barely squeezed into the ranks of the victorious countries with the blood and tears of 100,000 people, but it was coerced by the great powers to give Germany's privileges on the Jiaodong Peninsula to Yueben!
Absolutely not this time, such a humiliating history will never allow it to happen again!
If you don't smash all your king's shells into the sea and give them to the Dragon Lord after three years, Lao Tzu will not be surnamed Chai!
Chai Dong angrily smashed a few cups in the signing room, biting his lower lip and secretly gambling curses!
Despite the anger against the Germans, the final order was given to a German foreign firm, which could not be helped. First of all, the quality of German goods is very good, and more importantly, the guns used by the new army are all imitation German series. In order to ease this evil breath a little and not suffocate his lungs, Chai Dongliang ordered Wu Jintang that no matter which German foreign firm wants to act as an agent for the sales right of the three-core socket in Germany, the deposit and advance payment must be doubled!
Looking at the German foreign company Taipan's pouted mouth and bitter face, Chai Dongliang still felt a lot of pain in his heart...
The infrastructure of Wuhu Industrial Park has also taken on some shape, with two rows of factories rising from the ground and are in the tense capping stage. The Anqing Repair Institute has also basically completed the relocation work, and most of the machines have been transported to Wuhu by water, and are undergoing intense installation and commissioning. However, Chai Dongliang is very skeptical about the three-core socket project, which is crucial for the start of the industrial park, even if the simple belt assembly line is used, the production scale of 5,000 sets can meet the huge demand in Europe and North America.
In this era, although the popularity of electrical appliances cannot be said in the same way as in the 21st century, most middle-class families in Europe and the United States already have a few electric fans, electric toasters and other electrical products.
It is not realistic to build a large-scale production line at once, first of all, it is too late to order machines from foreign companies, not to mention that it will take a certain amount of time to train a large number of skilled workers. After Chai Dongliang and Wu Jintang discussed, they contacted several businesses interested in the industry, and asked them to set up a supporting branch factory in the industrial park to produce brass gaskets, screws, celluloid shells and other spare parts, and then sell them to the "Guanghua Electric Appliance Company", and the main factory was only responsible for the assembly line installation.
Chai Dongliang set up a technical school in the industrial park, and invited an experienced master to teach the retired soldiers of the patrol battalion, although the technology of producing sockets is relatively simple, but to train these Qiu Ba, who can only dance knives and guns and sell along the street, into skilled technicians on the assembly line, it will not be possible without three or two months!
Guanghua Bank finally issued its own currency, and the new foreign money minted by the Silver Dollar Bureau and the Copper Yuan Bureau was white and bright, and the bright gold, with the more than 800,000 US dollars obtained from the sale of the three-core socket agency right, Guanghua Bank printed 3 million banknotes. Basically, it is issued at the equivalent of the dollar reserve value of the inventory. The small merchants and vendors in the market are accustomed to foreign money and copper plates, and they are very worried about paper tickets. It was Wu Xingzhou who ascended to the top and shouted, and launched the head of the Anhui Chamber of Commerce, using the credit of the Wu family as a guarantee, asking large merchants to collectively use paper money, and Guanghua Bank is open for business twelve hours a day, ensuring that paper money can be exchanged for silver dollars, copper yuan, and even US dollars at any time!
With the strong support of the Anhui Chamber of Commerce, the banknotes issued by Guanghua Bank have initially established credit in the market, and merchants have also begun to use these paper notes printed with the eighteen-star flag.
Good news also came from Nanjing, the Yangtze River Naval Division blocked the river to isolate the north and south, and bombarded the Qing army's forts, the Soviet-Shanghai coalition finally took Tianbao City after a hard battle, and Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, secretly escaped to Shanghai overnight on a ship while negotiating with the revolutionary party about surrender. Zhang Xun, the governor of Jiangnan, was beaten and lost his armor and fled all the way north to Xuzhou's lair.
Nanjing, this Six Dynasties has finally recovered!
After approving the documents and hastily eating lunch, Chai Dongliang endured the pain in his spine, turned on the computer and sent out 6,000 words, which can be regarded as a slight pause.
Looking out the window, it's already sunset!
The things that should be busy are almost busy, Chai Dongliang is pacing in the signing room, and for a while, in the name of visiting his subordinates, he went to the hospital to communicate with the little beauty Mo Xiaolian about his feelings? Or is it an excuse to discuss the construction of the industrial park, go to Wu's house and Wu Meiqi to further deepen understanding?
That's a problem!
Mo Xiaolian is He Tianshou's sister-in-law, if she doesn't do it well, she will hurt her image among her subordinates, and the brigade commander will harass the female dependents of his subordinates, once this reputation spreads, it will deal a heavy blow to the soldiers of the First Brigade who have just returned to their hearts! His aura as a revolutionary leader in the hearts of the soldiers is completely ruined!
Wu Meiqi is the daughter of Wu Xingzhou, and the Wu family is the president of the Anhui Chamber of Commerce, and has a great influence in the business world. If the scale between him and Wu Meiqi is a little late, the relationship between himself and the Wu family will be difficult to get along!
Chai Dongliang walked around the house a few times, always undecided. Mo Xiaolian, Wu Meiqi, two delicious little Lori, all belong to themselves, but they don't dare to move their mouths!
Two fresh and tender little cabbages were sent to the mouth, but they didn't dare to arch, Chai Dongliang, you are too unmanly!
Just as Chai Dongliang was fighting, he saw Gao Ming running in in a hurry: "Dudu, Sun Wen is back!" ”
Chai Dongliang was stunned for a moment, speechless for a while.
Sun Wen returned to China? This name once made Chai Dongliang look up, and it was also used by him, and it was a huge shadow on his head!
What is due will come!
What will he do to me when he comes back? Could he really order himself, the envoy of Xibei Goods, to give up everything that the First Brigade, the Industrial Park, Guanghua Bank, etc. already have?
The fat that I have eaten makes me spit it out, and the king of heaven does not give face!
Mr. Sun, you are a great man, your idol for many years, don't force me to do things that trample my idol under your feet to prove that you are tall!
For the time being, I don't want to be so tall yet... Of course, only temporarily!
