Chapter 20 Changing History, Beginning Today

Changing the past is also changing the future!

Thinking of the era he once lived in, Lin Yizhe couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh in his heart. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It was the best of times and the worst of times.

In such an organic environment, the values of each individual in it begin to change, and people's thoughts and behaviors begin to be distorted like cells becoming cancerous.

Aren't you a victim of it?

How many sleepless nights have he asked himself countless times, how can he change all this?

He couldn't find the answer, all he could do was make himself and his family better.

But now, traveling back in time, he can't even do that......

The thought of how his parents and wife would suffer from the loss of his own in the future made his heart feel as hard as a knife.

Xiaotong, for your sake, I also want to change this history! Lin Yizhe said secretly in his heart.

It's just that he didn't come over, since he has come to this era, let's do his vigorous career!

The shipyard is the cornerstone of the Chinese Navy, which is the best starting point for its own development in this era!

And the relationship between his wife Chen Wan and the Rothchild family in this era may not be able to be used for himself!

Lin Yizhe comforted Chen Wan, and then began to ask her about the Chen family's overseas family and the Luo family.

As Shen Baozhen told Lin Yizhe in advance, only a few days later, his "honeymoon" with his little wife ended.

On November 7, 1867, the second group of foreigners hired from France arrived at Mawei Port. On this day, Lin Yizhe went to the shipyard area with Shen Baozhen.

Considering the threat of typhoons and tidal floods, workers have driven wooden piles around the site to reinforce the shipyard, and dug canals on three sides of the land in the factory area to drain water and facilitate the entry of cargo ships. At this time, the workshop, school, yamen, apartment and other buildings have been completed.

Lin Yizhe accompanied Shen Baozhen to the Harbour Administration, and saw two stone lions standing in front of the head gate, and couldn't help but be in a trance for a while.

Because of this pair of stone lions, he had seen before.

It was also a trip with friends who love history, visiting the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Cultural Scenic Spot, and seeing the pair of stone lions in front of the shipyard engine workshop.

According to the tour guide's introduction, the pair of stone lions in front of the head gate of the Harbour Administration Office were ordered by Zhou Kaixi, who was in charge of the overall situation, in the early stage of the construction of the shipyard factory area, in the famous Hui'an stonemason family Jiang Yuancheng Stone Shop in Nanhou Street, Fuzhou, and originally stood in front of the head gate of the Harbour Administration Office. In the so-called "special historical period", Shishi was regarded as the "fourth uncle", who was knocked and knocked over, and his whereabouts have not been known since. In May 1986, cultural relics workers excavated and found it from under the railway embankment, and after restoration, it was displayed in front of the shipyard engine workshop.

And this pair of stone lions, who have witnessed the rise and fall of the shipyard, are still watching themselves as in the past.

Thinking of the dismal ending of the shipyard that cost countless people the hard work in history, Lin Yizhe's heart couldn't help but ache faintly.

In that absurd era in later generations, what did the people who fell into a state of madness do?

Lin Yizhe saw a pair of couplets inscribed on both sides of the head door of the government office, and couldn't help but chant softly.

"And Mandao has never seen it, unheard of it, this is the right moment, and it is a serious place to start; How can we keep improving, and seek secrets, we must leak from the house of ghosts and gods, and carefully ask our hearts. ”

Lin Yizhe knew that this was the couplet inscribed by Shen Baozhen for the shipyard. It was through this couplet that Shen Baozhen expressed his determination to build a shipyard and overcome all difficulties.

Inside the head gate, the couplets on both sides of the instrument door of the Harbour Administration made him even more agitated.

"With a basket as the foundation, there is nothing difficult in the world from ancient times; To the new law of the nine translations, there are saints in present-day China. ”

At this moment, Lin Yizhe felt for the first time that he was really in history.

The shipping officials had already arrived, and they all greeted Shen Baozhen. Shen Baozhen greeted everyone, and then took Lin Yizhe and others into the government office.

"Kunyu is here, hehe." A man dressed in a Taoist official uniform walked from afar, and after greeting Shen Baozhen, he greeted him with a spring breeze on his face and bowed his hand.

When Lin Yizhe saw him, he immediately recognized who he was.

"Brother Xueyan got up early, hehe." Although he was annoyed by Hu Xueyan's black hand on him, Lin Yizhe's face was also full of spring breeze, and he returned the salute.

"A few days ago, I heard that Kunyu was sick, and I was going to visit him, but there were too many things, so it was delayed. Seeing Kunyu's strong spirit today, my heart let go, hehe. Hu Xueyan smiled and took Lin Yizhe's hand and said kindly.

"Brother Lao Xueyan is really sorry to go." Lin Yizhe said with a smile, "I suffered a little bit of cold in those days, and I drank a few more glasses, but I lay down for several days." Fortunately, the wine woke up and sweated, but the wind chill disappeared. Now my body feels much lighter than before, hehe, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. ”

Hearing Lin Yizhe's relaxation, Hu Xueyan's originally weak heart was relieved. However, seeing that his poisonous plan failed, Lin Yizhe did not have any abnormalities, and he was still angry in his heart.

"Kunyu must not say that, it is still important to his own body." Hu Xueyan pretended to be joking and said, "The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, Kunyu has been asleep for three days and three nights, leaving the bride aside, I'm afraid I haven't given Kunyu a lot of face these days, right?" ”

Of course, Lin Yizhe understood why Hu Xueyan said this, and Hu Xueyan must have been thinking about whether he was in the same room with Chen Wan. He may think that although he woke up from the alcohol poisoning this time, he was also seriously injured, and he hoped that he would not be able to have a room, so as to give him a chance.

From this point of view, what Chen Wan said is absolutely true.

When Lin Yizhe thought of this, the anger in his heart rose, but he didn't care at all on the surface.

"What Brother Xueyan said is that thanks to the bride's clothes these days, she took care of her wholeheartedly, and the younger brother recovered as before, and the younger brother did not go out of the house these days, concentrating on comforting the bride, in order to make up for the lost Spring Festival in the past few days, and talk about repaying virtue, the bride is gentle and virtuous, fortunately, there is no sense of surprise."

Listening to Lin Yizhe's words, Hu Xueyan was like a hammer hitting his chest, and he was speechless for a while, but he kept a smile on his face.

Hu Xueyan's expression was in full view of Lin Yizhe, he knew that his words had worked, and he couldn't help but snicker in his heart.

The two gossiped a few more words, and Hu Xueyan excused himself and left.

Lin Yizhe accompanied Shen Baozhen to the scheduled shipyard area, at this time, the factory only built some simple shacks, slipways and other facilities have not yet been built. When Lin Yizhe saw such a scene, he couldn't help but secretly call luck in his heart.

Because he is familiar with modern Chinese history, he knows that the location of the shipyard has inherent shortcomings, which restricts the development of the shipyard.

Today's shipyard area is located on the river bank on the left side of Mawei Port, Mawei Port is located at the confluence of the Wulong River, Bailong River and Qinjiang River in the lower reaches of the Minjiang River, 30 kilometers away from the mouth of the Minjiang River, the water is abundant, and surrounded by mountains, and there are Langqi Islands, Matsu Islands and other islands outside the mouth of the Minjiang River as natural barriers, it is a natural harbor with good shelter conditions, sufficient fresh water supply, and no freezing and silting.

Although the riverbank on the left side of Mawei Port, where the shipyard is located, is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has abundant water and no siltation, the water depth on the shore is too shallow, only 5 meters, and it is neither possible to berth ships with a deep draft, nor can any ship with a draft close to 5 meters be built (even if it is built, it cannot be launched).

Even if a ship with a draft of no more than 5 meters is built, it depends on the mood of the river when it is launched, and it can only be successfully launched at high tide; Moreover, the soil in Zhongqi Township is loose, which is not suitable for excavating traditional stone dry docks. Because the soil here is too loose, it is easy to cause serious accidents such as water seepage or landslides, so the shipmaster later chose to use the "Labert" type tugboat dock, which is less difficult to construct. Although the tugboat dock owned by the Shipping Bureau in history was the first in the Far East and the second largest in the world when it was built, the largest could only allow ships of about 2,500 tons to be docked for maintenance, which objectively limited the tonnage of ships built by the Shipping Bureau, which is why for a long time, the ships built by the Fujian Shipping Administration rarely exceeded 2,500 tons, and this situation could only produce ships below 2,500 tons until 1893. The shipyard "Qingzhou Dockyard", which can accommodate 15,000-ton ships, was changed after it was completed and put into use.

A hundred years later, the Mawei Shipyard regained its vitality, and the selected site was located in the northwest of Mawei Mountain, the riverside area on the west side of Yingyu Mountain, not the original shipyard site.

Lin Yizhe, who is familiar with all this, intends not to take these detours again when the shipyard is created!

This will be his first step to this era and change history!

Although the old and new sites are not far away, this step is not so easy for him to take.

How could Shen Baozhen and the shipping officials be persuaded to agree to the relocation?

Shen Baozhen took Lin Yizhe and others to the completed foreigners' apartment, and heard that Shen Baozhen came to visit in person, and the two foreign superintendents, the Frenchman Riyige and Dirk, and all the French employees were greeted out.

Lin Yizhe is no stranger to Riyige, but this time, what he saw was not a historical photo, but a real historical figure, and he felt a different emotion in his heart.

The first foreign superintendent of the shipyard was originally a junior officer of the French Navy, participated in the Crimean War, came to China with the French army during the Second Opium War, and later served in the Changjie Army and the Chinese Customs. In the cooperation between Chang Jiejun and the Chu army to suppress the Taiping army, Riyige established good personal relations with Chinese officials such as Zuo Zongtang. Although Riyige does not know how to build ships, he is still favored and trusted by Zuo Zongtang.
