Chapter 209: The battle situation changes, and Zhang Zhidong will meet again

In old Shanghai, apart from the stock exchanges run by British and American businessmen, no exchanges set up by Chinese businessmen appeared in the securities market. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Foreign businessmen in the Shanghai securities market "anti-customer-oriented, overstepping the way to replace me" naturally made Chen Wenqiang feel dissatisfied, and besides, he also coveted the "good soup" of Shanghai's securities industry!

However, the real difficulty is not only a matter of funding, but also the fact that China has not yet issued a Securities and Exchange Law, and there are no specific provisions and regulatory procedures, which makes Chen Wenqiang feel at a loss.

Of course, there is no way to circumvent it, that is, to open an exchange in the concession and take the name of a foreign businessman. Although this may only be a faΓ§ade and can actually be controlled by Chinese businessmen, there are hidden dangers in the end, and people cannot but feel worried.

Neumann was actually just a bridge, and I am afraid that even he did not know the specific composition and ultimate purpose of the Jewish consortium. As for Chen Wenqiang, naturally he will not find out too much information, and caution is inevitable.

Not everyone's money can be spent and can be used. Chen Wenqiang sent Neumann away, and thought carefully for a long time before going to bed.

In Shanghai, Chen Wenqiang had been staying for several months, whether it was his own industry or a hidden business, it was almost done, and he set off for Hankou.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The French Revolution was fought in 80 years, and I don't know how much blood flowed during it. In the initial stage of the revolution, we should not hesitate to shed blood to irrigate the fruits of the revolution. I am ready to shed blood and sacrifice, Brother Wen Qiang does not need to be concerned, and I hope that the revolutionary comrades behind me will not be miserable and have the idea of retreating......"

Chen Wenqiang's subordinates sent to Anqing to deliver the secret letter brought back Xu Xilin's reply, and the telegram that came almost at the same time was the news of the failure of the Anqing uprising.

Enming is still dead, Xu Xilin is still arrested, and Zhu Shaokang, Wang Jinfa and other Jianghu Hui parties are still defeated. History has changed, but only in general, not in all. Some things are still happening and developing according to the original trajectory.

Chen Wenqiang sighed helplessly and regretfully, according to Xu Xilin's family background and qualifications, if he had not participated in the revolution, he could have been a person with fine clothes and food and a bright future. But he gave up his family for the sake of national righteousness and became a radical revolutionary who never looked back.

Regardless of whether it was done properly or not, regardless of the impact of the uprising. This passionate person will definitely go deep into history!

Undoubted! Chen Wenqiang closed his eyes and let out a long breath, and on the slowly moving boat, he tore up the telegram paper in his hand and scattered it. Fragments of white paper were fluttered one after another, carrying his sorrow and reverence, and also paying tribute to the heroic souls of the revolutionary aspirants.

……………

The morning mist dissipated by the sun's banishment, and the earth hummed sullenly under the trampling of horses' hooves and big feet. The long line, followed by large and small vehicles, creaked and creaked forward.

Anti-Qing Dynasty and Restoration of the Ming Dynasty, this slogan can be said to have a long history and far-reaching spread. Hundreds of years later, there are still many people who think so. It may be an exaggeration to say that it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the events of history do tell some questions.

For example, the current Liu Enyu. Although I listened to some revolutionary propaganda and reasoning, I still thought in my heart that this was a change of dynasty. The slogan of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty was shouted louder and more resonant with the common people.

Sanna Ruins were occupied, the county seat was breached, and just when the Qing army was arranging and approaching the siege of the revolutionary army on the left and right rivers, a great chaos broke out in Qinlian Prefecture in Guangxi.

The so-called Sanna Ruins. It refers to the three "ruins" of Nali, Napeng and Nasi under the jurisdiction of Qinzhou, the meaning of the word ruins is similar to that of villages and towns, in short, it is not too densely populated industrial area, which is mainly produced sugar, and the local people are living by planting cane sugar.

Late Qing Dynasty. The officials continued to raise the sugar tax, and the people were miserable, so they elected a few representatives to petition the prefect's yamen to ask the government to reduce the sugar tax. After the deputies went, they never returned, and were sent directly to prison by the government.

The people of Sannaxu were extremely angry, organized the "Ten Thousand People's Association", elected the wealthy Liu Enyu as the leader, and invited Liang Jiankui and Liang Shaoting to Longzhou and Gaoping to contact the revolutionary army.

After receiving the plea of the representatives of the people who resisted donations, the headquarters of the revolutionary army immediately dispatched a battalion led by Wang Heshun and a guerrilla detachment operating in the 100,000 mountains to help the people resist the donation and oppose the Qing Dynasty. As a result, the mass struggle against donations developed from a petition to an armed insurrection.

Liu Enyu is a well-known wealthy family in Sannaxu, and his family has purchased many new rifles and raised many families, faintly confronting the local government. The local people secretly often compare him with the Tota Tianshan Chao Gai in "Water Margin", also known as the Tota Heavenly King.

The support of the villagers and the help of the revolutionary army made Liu Enyu full of spirit, gathered two or three thousand people, and occupied Sanna Ruins. He personally led the men and horses, with the assistance of the revolutionary army, to enter the county seat and rob all the representatives of the people.

At this time, the price of millet soared just in time for the shortage of grain in Qinlian and other state capitals. After the revolutionary army broke through the county seat and swept the surrounding areas, it not only opened official warehouses to stabilize the price of grain, but also called on the rich gentry to sell their grain at a reasonable price, which won the hearts of the people and the army expanded rapidly.

There are a thousand people, and the earth is up to the sky; There are 10,000 people, and there is no boundary. Although this is an exaggeration in the commentary, in Liu Enyu's eyes, the mighty of 3,000 soldiers and horses still makes him fascinated.

"Uncle-" Liu Xianming is Liu Enyu's nephew, and he is also his right and left hand, at this time he showed a little uneasy, "This is so big, and it is the same as the government, if the great cause is not successful, our family is afraid that it will be affected......"

"Wealth is sought in danger, but in troubled times, it is also an opportunity to erect." Liu Enyu unceremoniously interrupted the young man's words, his eyes widened, and he turned his head suddenly, with an irresistible majesty.

Liu Xianming grinned, speechless by his uncle's rhetoric.

"The world is going to be in chaos!" Liu Enyu shook his head slightly, his tone slowed down a bit, and said, "It's been a few hundred years, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's qi should be exhausted." I think this revolutionary army can become a climate. After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Of course, we also have to leave a way back and send our families and money to Vietnam first." Well, then there are no worries. ”

"Uncle is clever." Liu Xianming thought for a while and said: "Then we might as well guard the Sanna Ruins, and let the revolutionary army do this matter of attacking the city and plundering the land, killing officials and soldiers." In the future, maybe there will be room for turning around with the government. ”

"You're always a little less ruthless." Liu Enyu counted a few sentences, but nodded in a deep voice. "Okay, our fellow villagers, it's good to have fewer casualties. It's just that this meritβ€”"

"Uncle don't worry, this credit will have opportunities in the future." Liu Xianming smiled and explained: "Look at my nephew." The government will definitely send troops to attack, and it is safest to see what the result is, and then make a decision. ”

Liu Enyu bowed his head slightly, although he did not express his position clearly, but he already recognized his nephew's opinion.

Although those who participated in the revolutionary movement had their own ideas and aims, it was inevitable at this time. Liu Enyu led the people to retreat to Sannaxu, but Wang Heshun led the revolutionary army to continue to fight in Longyan, Chentang, Nayi, Maluxu, Liulu, Fenggang and other places in the three Fuzhou counties of Qinlian and Shangsi.

On 3 May, the revolutionary army arrived at Xiaofeng. After defeating more than 600 Qing troops, Guan Band (battalion commander) Yang was killed, and only more than 50 people escaped.

On 5 May, the revolutionary army encountered another battalion of the Qing army, and the Qing army was defeated, with more than 100 dead and wounded.

On May 8, the revolutionary army arrived at the bridge, and two battalions of the Qing army came to fight. The Qing army was defeated again. One "battalion officer" was killed. On 11 May, the revolutionary army was deployed at Madu Mountain. Ambush the three battalions of the Qing army that came to attack. The commander of the Qing army, Long Guanband, was hit and fell from his horse and died. Another battalion officer, Liao Ding, abandoned the army and fled, and the Qing army was defeated.

In half a month, the revolutionary army won four consecutive victories and captured more than 1,000 rifles, while only 21 people were killed or wounded. Subsequently. Wang Heshun led more than 3,000 men and horses to the west to make a feint attack first, threatening western Guangdong, and after mobilizing the Qing troops in Fangcheng and Qinzhou, he suddenly turned back to the north and approached the city of Nanning. The main force of Lu Rongting's subordinates, who were operating around Baise, also threw off the Qing army after receiving the order. Concealed southward, the starry night and the mountains and rivers were wading, and suddenly approached Nanning from the north.

The two divisions of the revolutionary army converged, and more than 6,000 men and horses stormed Nanning. A day later, the western city wall of Nanning collapsed in a banging explosion, and the revolutionary army swarmed in, Nanning was broken, and more than 3,000 defenders were annihilated, and a huge amount of materials were seized in the official treasury.

The important town of Nanning was lost, Guangxi was shaken, and the Qing court was shocked.

………….

There is a circular window on the courtyard wall, through which Chen Wenqiang can see the boulder in the courtyard next door.

"The window is like a picture frame, and the boulder is the picture in the frame. Doesn't it look beautiful and harmonious? Ah Xuan leaned comfortably in the bamboo chair and asked with a smile.

"It's beautiful, it's harmonious." Chen Wenqiang echoed the praise, in fact, he felt that the effect of using this parallax was to make those idle people have fun and amusement, but in such an environment, he couldn't help but feel a rare comfort and peace.

Next to it is a pond where frogs are chirping in the water. He and Ah Xuan were on a belvedere by the pond, with a view of the courtyard attic, and the nine-curved corridor winding through the wooden bridges and stretching out to the rockeries made of strange stones. These stones have been deformed by the impact of flowing water over an unknown number of centuries.

And this is the back garden of the Wuchang Liangjiang Governor's Palace, Chen Wenqiang and Ah Xuan came to visit Zhang Zhidong, Zhang Zhidong was receiving officials, and they were led here to have fun. It can be seen that Chen Wenqiang's position in Zhang Zhidong's mind is extraordinary.

"If we also have such a garden in the future, Sister Caifeng and I will accompany you leisurely and happy, how good it would be." Ah Xuan was a little intoxicated, or she was engaged in Shanghai, which filled the girl with happiness and longing.

"Sooner or later, there will be times when you get tired of seeing the same scenery." Chen Wenqiang smiled faintly, walked behind Ah Xuan, stretched out his hands and stroked his fiancΓ©e's face, "I will take you to see the scenery of various places, which is more beautiful and wonderful than this man-made scenery!" ”

"Do you have that much to spare?" Ah Xuan obediently enjoyed the warmth of the man's big hands, and said with a smile: "I don't think so, you, just think about it." ”

"In a few decades of life, as long as you think and do, you will always have time to live for yourself." Chen Wenqiang paused and said with a smile: "You, don't think of me as a noble person with lofty ideals. Actually, I'm a lazy guy, but I can't be lazy yet. ”

"How can anyone devalue themselves?" Ah Xuan held Chen Wenqiang's hand with slight disgust, and gently rubbed it on her face, "Look at what the outside world is saying about you, and then look at your achievements, it's not at all!" ”

"Hehe, that's true." Chen Wenqiang leaned down and kissed Ah Xuan's forehead lightly.

"Nature is true." Ah Xuan likes this kind of intimacy, and said in a proud tone: "Engaged in Shanghai, but it makes many people envious and jealous!" For example, Yezi, she doesn't say it, but I can see it. ”

Leaf? Chen Wenqiang was stunned for a moment, and the face and figure of a girl flashed in his mind, but then disappeared again. A person he meets by chance in his life can't make him forget.

"Someone's coming." Ah Xuan's ears were sensitive, and she gently pulled Chen Wenqiang's hand away and stood up from the chair.

Zhang Zhidong, accompanied by Gu Hongming, walked over unhurriedly, and Chen Wenqiang hurriedly greeted Ah Xuan.

"I've seen adults." Chen Wenqiang didn't wear an official uniform, but he pretended to be a thousand.

Zhang Zhidong shook his head angrily and funny, but solemnly stretched out his hand to signal to Ah Xuan, who was saluting normally, "No courtesy, Miss Dong quickly and no courtesy." ”

Gu Hongming squeezed his eyes at Chen Wenqiang, and Chen Wenqiang smiled in response.

"My lord, the folk girl goes around and looks at the scenery, and you talk slowly." Ah Xuan sensibly avoided it and walked slowly away along the nine-song corridor.

"It's all going to be a family person, it's still not stable enough." Zhang Zhidong sat down in the chair and reprimanded Chen Wenqiang before he spoke: "Wenqiang, your trip to Europe, the governor is paying attention, you win glory for the country and the Chinese, and the old man is also very pleased." Well, the Hanyang Iron Works and the Hubei Gun Factory are doing well, and the progress of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway is even more admirable. ”

"Entrusted by adults, Wen Qiang did his best and didn't dare to live up to it." Chen Wenqiang stretched out his hand and gestured, sat down with Gu Hongming, and said in a deep voice: "As for the European trip, nothing else matters, it can be said that it has gained a lot in Germany." ”

"The Kaiser received the reception, the crown prince banquet, it is indeed very beautiful!" Gu Hongming joked with a smile: "If I want to guess, the harvest that Brother Wen Qiang said must be more than that." ”

"It's one of them!" Chen Wenqiang nodded lightly and began to tell in detail about the investment promotion in Germany and the cooperation with German industrial and commercial enterprises.

"This synthetic ammonia-" Zhang Zhidong tapped his palm with a fan uncertainly, "Fertilizer, that is, fertilizer!" ”

"It is mainly the function of fertilizer, and it can also be the raw material of other products." Chen Wenqiang replied simply: "If it is popularized, grain production can increase significantly." Haber is therefore known as the genius of chemistry who rescued the world's food crisis. The production equipment has been shipped to the state, and I estimate that it will be assembled and debugged in more than a month. ”
