Chapter 438: International Influence
The impact of this war, in addition to affecting the intellectuals in the northwest itself and in China as a whole, also began to spread outward, especially in the south, which had been seeking to overthrow the Qing government and build a democratic republican revolutionary party. %
From the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Coalition in 1900 to the signing of the Xinchou Treaty, in the past 10 years, intellectuals who have opened their eyes to the world, and even some bureaucrats of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, have understood that the history of the Qing court for more than 300 years has come to an end of the road, and everyone is considering taking that road.
Japan, the location of the Alliance, because of the independent relationship of Baotou, let the hard-hit Alliance also see hope, especially the strong Beiyang Army, in a certain way, showing their true strength, it doesn't seem to be very good, a small Baotou, has shown a strong strength, against the four towns of Beiyang, with them dragging, it seems that other places, also have huge opportunities.
"Huang Xing, what's going on with the uprising!" Sun Yat-sen asked with a calm face.
Since the failure of last year's uprising, Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen, went abroad, Japan has now become the base camp of the League, a certain Cheng dù, with the help of Japan's support, slowly influencing the Chinese revolution, the so-called support, just to make China more chaotic, in fact, the real history, Japan succeeded, the Xinhai Revolution in 1911 not only did not really establish a new democratic republican government, but fought a civil war for more than 30 years, missing from 1911 to 1918. The most critical golden time and before World War I and World War II, that rare opportunity for development. Otherwise, China during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. It's definitely not that miserable.
The Xinhai Revolution in later generations must have developed from the inside out, first on the Wuhan side, because of the Sichuan Road Protection Movement, the Hubei New Army was mobilized to Sichuan, and the New Army left in Wuhan revolted, resulting in China's first uprising, but now, the emergence of Baotou. became a rafter that came out, so that the Qing government saw such a piece of fat and wanted to eat it directly, as a result, Baotou became independent, and the independence of Baotou made the new army and the Qing court a little vigilant, but the new military control in various places was more strict, and it was certain that the process was dù. China's revolution has fallen into a certain trough, and the only thing that stands out is the first righteousness of Baotou.
Because of the more and more eye-catching relationship, Baotou here. It has gradually become a focus of young revolutionaries, and some of them are anxious to come directly to Baotou for field investigations. I want to realize my desire for revolution with the help of Baotou.
Baotou is a predominantly industrial city, in the middle of this city. Industry is the mainstream and requires numerous resources. There is also a market for dumping products, because of the war, the export has been slightly affected, but when the four towns of the Beiyang Army have been blocked, some smart people began to secretly contact Baotou, Baotou the second batch of commercial support actions, also began, before, Wuhan Persuasion Industry Conference, Baotou is mainly external, is the textile industry, light industry, these are the money quickly, now, with the establishment of a number of heavy industry and machine industry, Baotou has the ability to export industry to China in more systems.
After careful consideration, Williams in the United States was contacted, and the Williams Room in the United States announced to the world that a huge steel complex with a new process and an output of more than 20 million tons was built in Baotou.
In fact, from 1909, the steel mill has been put into operation, to 1910, has completed the previous design, a total of more than 10 million tons of design capacity, Baotou in the gradual approach to the design capacity, to the middle of 1910, is the second phase of expansion, while expanding the blast furnace twice, although in personnel and training is not too sufficient, but in Baotou speed to promote, built a design capacity of 30 million tons per year of blast furnace, as for the annual output of steel, barely reached 15 million tons, just 5 million tons higher than the previous full capacity.
However, it did not delay Yang Yuanzhao to announce an annual output of 20 million tons, because as long as the personnel are sufficient, after half a year to a year of running-in, Baotou can definitely challenge 25 million tons.
For the leakage of oxygen blowing top technology, Yang Yuanzhao is not discouraged, he has mastered more advanced technology, China's steel output in later generations ranked first in the world, far higher than the latter combined, but China is neither the first power, nor the first power, steel, is only a part of the war potential, in the early 20th century era, the significance of the representative is great, but if you really want to calculate, how to turn the war potential into real strength, is the future focus of the place.
The news of Williams's real room, like a thunderclap, completely shocked the world, 20 million tons of steel output, what does it represent, represents the second in the world, even away from the first United States, not far behind, the second Germany is only more than 10 million tons, behind the United Kingdom, is still hovering within 8 million tons, when, China actually rose in heavy industry.
Knowing the news, Japan, with the help of the First Sino-Japanese War, with the help of the Russo-Japanese War, almost gritted their teeth, like pants, established their own steel industry, and even took several years to surpass the Hanyang Iron Works, and truly became the first in Asia, with an annual output of more than 200,000 tons of steel, but before he was much happy, China, which has always been coveted by them, put such a big satellite, 20 million tons, almost 100 times that of Japan.
Japan, which has embarked on the road of industrial development, knows too well the significance of 10 million tons of steel and steel, and if Baotou has the ability to transform into an arms industry, how many troops can be pulled up by the huge, 450 million Chinese.
No matter how shocked the powers were, the Northwest began to carry out the second batch of industrial support plans step by step, and a number of steel-related things began to be transferred, such as all kinds of iron parts, pots and pans, all kinds of knives, and some basic things in people's livelihood, such as woodworking machinery, etc., furniture is open to the outside, as for the tobacco industry, it is still Baotou control, some places suitable for planting tobacco leaves, Baotou will even send personnel to personally guide, compared with before, The activities of Baotou are more convenient.
A series of steel, such as rails, rebar, steel bars, seamless steel pipes, steel plates, etc., are all sold openly and even exported. Low price, extremely high quality, even on the first day of the exhibition, it attracted a large number of foreign merchants, orders as high as 2 million tons, only this one, Baotou once again recovered a large amount of foreign exchange, enough funds to support the overall transformation of the northwest.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, because of several layers of exploitation, the whole of China was in a very heavy burden, and if there was a slight disturbance, the tenants at the bottom would go bankrupt, and the sale of children and daughters was almost everywhere.
The people are always submissive, the bearing Cheng dù is very high, if there is no Baotou, many people will swallow their anger, now, Baotou and Jin merchants, when recruiting personnel in various places, are even more confident, almost describe an idealized country, autonomous government, light taxation, everyone has a job, and even children can go to school for free, what does this mean, this represents the land of hope, this represents an unimaginable paradise, ordinary people, what else to require.
For most people, the homeland is difficult to leave, but a certain number of people are really willing to leave, there are really not a few, a large number of people, began to move towards Baotou, towards Shanxi, for these people, Baotou can be said to be the one who does not refuse, now, the whole of China, there are about 400 million people, the vast majority, are concentrated in Henan, Sichuan, and even the southeast coast, the northwest personnel are very few, in order to have enough strength to confront the outside, population, this is an indispensable foundation.
The strength of many people is not only a slogan, but also in the course of the development of Baotou, gradually proved, Yang Yuanzhao is very glad that the place he crossed, although it is in the remote northwest border, is also on the land of China, not far from the densely populated places of Chinese, otherwise, even if there is an all-in-one machine, crossing to the sparsely populated Australia and New Zealand, he simply cannot develop so fast in two or three years, population is fundamental, manpower determines the economic and industrial scale, And how big is the scale of the industry.
This kind of understanding, not only Yang Yuanzhao has, the entire high-level is also recognized, for this Baotou every month, will be drawn out, a large amount of funds, specifically placed on the recruitment of personnel, accompanied by a large number of personnel, was recruited, now Baotou, should not say that the entire Northwest Commonwealth, the net inflow of population every month, began to show a huge rise, after the New Year in 1911, the net inflow of a month, still maintained at the number of 1.2 million, but in March, it reached 5 million, In May, it even reached an astonishing 12 million, such a huge number, so that the northwest has a huge human base, the rapid development of industry, the demand for manpower, almost endless, huge plantations and emerging city construction, the need for an endless population, after entering July, the entire northwest, the population will return from the current 35 million, reaching about 65 million, it is estimated that by the end of this year, the population of the direct control area will be 100 million.
100 million, this number on the population, any country has to look sideways, China has the world's largest population, which itself is the history of China's dividends, since 1840, China lagged behind, and did not take advantage of the population, in exchange for huge development, and Yang Yuanzhao such a traverser of the arrival, in advance to provide industrial dividends and demographic dividends, as long as the integration is completed, Baotou can burst out of the power, is the world's attention.
