As for Anshan's iron and steel resources, it is imperative to compete and the Japanese must not be allowed to succeed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In 1909, the Manchurian Railway sent people to carry out illegal and secret prospecting in the Anshan area, and successively investigated more than 10 iron mines such as Tieshi Mountain, West Anshan, East Anshan, Dagu Mountain, Cherry Orchard, Guanmen Mountain, Xiaolingzi, Gongchangling, etc., and discovered resources such as Dashiqiao magnesite and Yantai clay mine, and found that the Anshan area was a treasure land for mining and smelting iron and steel. Yujiro Nakamura, president of the Manchurian Railway, proposed a plan to plunder the steel resources of the Anshan area, and the big traitor Yu Chonghan and the Japanese Yasuke Kamada came forward to form a Sino-Japanese joint venture to revitalize the iron ore company. Nominally, it is a Sino-Japanese joint venture with half investment, but in fact, it is fully funded by the Manchurian Railway, and completely monopolizes steel resources.

Traitors! Damn it! Chen Wenqiang had murderous intent, but his face was silent, and he showed a kind smile to Yu Chonghan's subordinate Ma Mingpeng, who came to tell him.

Maybe it's based on patriotism, maybe it's hating Yu Chonghan's greed and harshness, or maybe it's ...... Chen Wenqiang detected a variety of emotions in Ma Mingpeng's heart. In any case, this famous friend should be rewarded and encouraged. Moreover, troops should be immediately sent to Liaoyang to control Anshan.

"Very good, Mr. Ma's patriotic fervor is admirable." Chen Wenqiang pondered for a moment and said, "Are you willing to serve as the police chief of Liaoyang County (Anshan is under Liaoyang County and has not yet been established as a city)?" In addition, I am going to send troops to arrest Yu Chonghan and his whole family, would you like to provide evidence to help convict Yu Chonghan of treason? ”

Ma Mingpeng was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chen Wenqiang to be so straightforward, and he was directly promoted to a police chief, and he was going to arrest Yu Chonghan directly. After hesitating for a moment, he hesitated and said, "Yu Chonghan has a Japanese backer—"

"Yu Chonghan is Chinese and a traitor." Chen Wenqiang interrupted directly and said: "Even if there are Japanese living in his house, he can't interfere with the government's arrest of criminals." This. You don't have to worry about it. ”

Ma Mingpeng's face was feverish, and he felt that he must have been underestimated by Chen Wenqiang, so he hurriedly straightened his chest and replied, "It's me who is cowardly." With an official like Lord Chen, such an official government, I will never be afraid of the Japanese in the future. ”

"If you are justified, you don't have to be afraid, now it's the Republic of China. Not the previously weak Manchu government. Chen Wenqiang admonished, turned his head to Yang Yuting and said: "The Japanese have a lot of power in Liaoyang, you choose to send elite soldiers and strong generals to go, and simply capture Yu Chonghan to Fengtian." There are also armed policemen, who must step up their training and formation, and be stationed in Liaoyang as quickly as possible. Well, there's nothing else to do, you take Mr. Ma down! ”

"My subordinates understand." Yang Yuting stood up and saluted, turned away.

Chen Wenqiang pondered quietly for a long time. Picked up the phone and summoned Chen Jianxiong, director of the Northeast Intelligence Bureau.

Based on Xingyitang and Longxingtang, selecting the good and eliminating the inferior, and adding many more reliable members of the Revival Society, the shelf of the Intelligence Bureau can be regarded as being set up. Although Chen Wenqiang has long used figures in the rivers and lakes to collect intelligence and set up many intelligence stations in various places, it is an indisputable fact that the work in the north is much weaker than that in the south.

And the intelligence work against Japan, Russia and other countries has just been arranged. Slips are inevitable. Chen Wenqiang summoned Chen Jianxiong not to reprimand and hold him accountable, but to ask him to strengthen his work. The focus was on the surveillance of Japan and Russia, as well as the punishment of traitors who colluded with Japan and Russia.

Starting from another purpose, Chen Wenqiang also wanted to take the opportunity to accumulate funds, and from then on he gave a clear warning to traitors and those who want to be traitors.

Although Chen Wenqiang did not blame Chen Jianxiong, Chen Jianxiong still had a fever on his face. Such important information was only known by someone who told the truth. And the activities of the Japanese people are so bold. There are too many omissions in the intelligence work in the northeast, and it is true that it should be vigorously strengthened.

"Find a breakthrough, and be secretive, make long-term plans, and don't try to be happy and startled." Chen Wenqiang knew that the Japanese were very good at espionage work in China. If you want to completely crack it, or give it a major blow, it is not the time yet, and there is not so much ability, "It is better to rebel or secretly arrest, if you can break in and lurk, it is better." If there's someone you can't be sure of, you can bring him to me. No matter how cunning you are, most of them can't hide from my eyes. ”

That's right, this is where Chen Wenqiang's advantage lies. Torture may not be able to obtain true information, but Chen Wenqiang can basically dig into the deepest secrets of his heart. Moreover, sometimes it may not be a face-to-face interrogation, and when dealing with the Japanese, Chen Wenqiang can also obtain a lot of information that is difficult to buy.

"The Black Dragon Society should be the right target." Chen Jianxiong said: "And there will be a close relationship with the alliance, maybe you can start here." ”

"The Black Dragon Society is all Japanese, and although it has a close relationship with the Alliance, it does not accept members of the Alliance into the Black Dragon Society." Chen Wenqiang shook his head lightly and said, "It's not advisable to start with the Alliance. Your main task at present is to develop, spread your eyeliner widely, monitor the foreign shops, warehouses, and shops of the Japanese, and pay attention to the whereabouts of the Japanese ronin, especially in some sensitive areas. The Black Dragon Society often secretly drew maps in China, North Korea, Mongolia and Russia, and was lonely, and could see the opportunity to secretly arrest and interrogate them. And then—" Chen Wenqiang made a downward gesture, "destroying the corpse and destroying the traces, so that the Japanese people can't find it." You have to choose absolutely loyal and reliable subordinates to do such things, and you must not leave a trace of them. ”

"Understood." Chen Jianxiong nodded vigorously.

"As for the breakthrough-" Chen Wenqiang thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, let's see if I can help you find it!" ”

……………..

When Kentaro Ochiai finally met Chen Wenqiang and talked with him for a long time, he did not see the legendary strength, but was polite and humble in his words.

"Your Envoy's concern about the Jinai Railway is not unreasonable, and on behalf of the Provisional Government, the interests of your country can be fully taken into account in the construction of the railway." Chen Wenqiang smiled faintly, but he was engrossed in exploring Ochiai's psychology, "This is a kind of respect, and respect is mutual, what do you think?" ”

"Yes, we also respect the fait accompli in the northeast that is controlled by the provisional government." Ochiai breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The entry of American capital into the Northeast will bring complicated changes to the situation in the Far East. I believe that this is something that neither you nor I want to see. ”

"When it comes to mutual respect, we can do it, but the Manchurian Railway Company in your country is very disappointing." Chen Wenqiang's expression became serious, and he said: "The Anfeng Railway was merged into the Manchurian Railway, whether it was the Qing government or the provisional government. They are all resolutely opposed. But the Manchurian Railway actually forced the work, is this an attitude of respect? ”

Ochiai's heart tightened, feeling that Chen Wenqiang might be about to turn his face, he replied cautiously: "The behavior of the Manchurian Railway Company does not represent the government of his country, if it is true, I will verify it." and deal with it accordingly. ”

Chen Wenqiang did not change his face as Ochiai expected, but nodded with a smile, but there was an implicit threat in his words, "The special interests of your country's northeast can be fully considered by our side, and we have no intention of changing it." But to go beyond the bounds, you have to react as you should. This is not empty words, but a series of countermeasures have been developed. I believe that the noble envoy has also seen that the national sentiment of the Chinese people is constantly rising. As long as you climb high and shout, it is not impossible that there will be a movement similar to the storm that arrived in the United States that year. ”

Ochiai did not care about this, the current provisional government had not yet been recognized by the foreign powers, the war with the Beiyang Army had no results, and the northeast was also preliminary, he did not believe that the provisional government would have any tough measures at this time.

"Another point is that the illegal surveying and mapping and surveying activities carried out by your personnel in Northeast China, Mongolia and other places should be stopped immediately." Chen Wenqiang stretched out his finger. "At the end of the day, this is Chinese land. The people who live there are Chinese, and now it is the provisional government that governs the Qing Dynasty instead of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so do not follow the wrong practices of the past. ”

Ochiai was stunned for a moment, and when he suddenly mentioned this, he immediately thought of the matter of prospecting in Anshan. Did the news leak out? His mind spun rapidly, examining Chen Wenqiang. I want to see some reality in my expression.

Chen Wenqiang raised his eyebrows and said, "In addition, some people in your country colluded with the Zongshe Party and wanted to mess up the Northeast. This is the most intolerable. I don't think it was a directive from your government, could it? ”

"Of course not." Ochiai's train of thought was taken away by Chen Wenqiang again, he felt that this was what Chen Wenqiang was most concerned about, and hurriedly said: "I'm afraid that some people have gotten closer to the Zongshe Party out of personal relationships, but they have no intention of creating turmoil." ”

"That's good." Chen Wenqiang lowered his eyelids, thought for a while, and said: "As for the loan right proposed by your envoy to build a railway in the northeast, I will report it to the government, and I will notify you after the government has discussed!" ”

Ochiai knew that Chen Wenqiang would not be able to agree immediately, but he had already expressed the Japanese side's view that he was opposed to borrowing foreign capital to build roads, and if he needed to borrow foreign capital, he should first consult with the Japanese capitalists. At the same time, as a kind of temptation, he also felt that he had achieved his goal, so he got up and took his leave.

Chen Wenqiang was the only one left in the room, and he couldn't help but sneer. The construction of Jinai with American capital was originally his bluff to put pressure on the Japanese. Japan and Russia will certainly oppose it, and he will be able to obtain the most favorable conditions from it.

Judging from his analysis, if the Northeast Railway is forcibly built with US funds, it will inevitably arouse great vigilance on the part of Japan and Russia, and the two rivals who hope to carve up China may join forces, which is not a good thing for China.

Since the Japanese were lured and made conditions, wouldn't it be possible to build railways without borrowing foreign capital? Chen Wenqiang does not think so, it is not impossible to raise funds on his own, build roads independently, and build railways and highways together to compete with the South Manchurian Railway and the Middle East Railway.

What's more, the Japanese are now in financial distress and have a shortage of funds, and even if they have the heart, they are unable to expand capital exports in China. Historically, it was not until 1916, after the outbreak of World War I, that the Japanese economy was greatly relieved, and the Anshan Iron Mine began to be listed and opened. Although Chen Wenqiang does not know this clearly, he still knows a lot about the financial situation of the Japanese government.

And Ochiai Kentaro's impression of Chen Wenqiang has not yet been accurately determined, and things have changed a lot, which makes him stunned.

Ma Longtan led a regiment of troops to suddenly move to Liaoyang, and the General Bureau of Patrol Police suddenly sent a large number of personnel from Mukden to set up bureaus and offices in various parts of Liaoyang County, especially in the Anshan area, and the number of police substations and police stations was astonishing. Yu Chonghan, a wealthy man in Liaoyang, was suddenly secretly arrested and escorted to Fengtian, where shops, fields, and family property were sealed, and his family members were detained.

The speed was unexpected, and when Ochiai in Mukden got the news and didn't come up with a countermeasure, Yu Chonghan, who had just been escorted to Mukden, had already been tried and sentenced, and was sentenced to treason. The announcement was then posted, and the incriminating evidence was made public to the media.

The gallows stood in the center of Fengtian Street, and Yu Chonghan's body was hung for a day before being cremated by the government. The family members were exiled, all their property was confiscated, and the first case of treason in the Northeast and even in the whole country was displayed to the world in such a fast way.

Immediately afterwards, Ochiai received an unofficial notice from the Northeast authorities, protesting against the Japanese for illegally surveying Anshan and the forced construction of the Manchurian Railway to rebuild the Anbong Railway, urging the Japanese to immediately stop the merger project.

This guy, under his modest appearance, has such a ruthless and decisive means, and Ochiai can be regarded as an insight. But at this time, he wanted to go to Chen Wenqiang's theory, wouldn't he have confirmed all the illegal deeds? Secretly ruthless, Ochiai issued instructions to the Manchurian Railway to continue to rebuild the Anbong Line, and asked for instructions from the country to fund the Zongshe Party, plan the independence of Manchu and Mongolia, or start unrest in the Northeast.

………….

The military confrontation between the north and the south will naturally have external enemies watching and internal traitors making trouble before the results appear.

But no one expected that a major war between the north and the south had come to an end.

Yuan Shikai put down the newspaper in his hand, the news from the Northeast spread quickly, and it must be some media secretly controlled by the Revival Society that is fueling the trouble. The measures taken by the Provisional Government in Northeast China, as well as Chen Wenqiang's toughness toward the Japanese, and Yu Chong's conviction of treason, undoubtedly gave the Provisional Government another moral high ground.

As for the Beiyang Army, Feng Guozhang's first army was reinforced by the Yi Army, which was considered to have stabilized its position, but when it was defeated, the heavy weapons were greatly lost, and the revolutionary army was greatly strengthened. The front is considered stable and enters a standoff.

Duan Qirui's Second Army encountered stubborn resistance from the revolutionary army in Shandong, and in the face of trench fortifications and the defense of the revolutionary army's machine guns, grenades, and artillery, the battle losses continued to increase, but little progress was made. According to Duan Qirui's report, the revolutionary army's defense line was very deep, with several fortifications in succession, and the Beiyang Army was caught in repeated battles, and some positions were in a tragic situation.

Wu Luzhen, Zhao Sheng, and Yuan Shikai knew that the military commanders of the two sides of the revolutionary army, one was a high-ranking talent in Japan, hidden under the Manchu system, and remotely commanded the war in the southwest; An officer who has been tempered and grown up in the new armies in Beiyang and the south, and who is known as being able to fight to the death in a tough village, has also gained rich experience in actual combat in the southwest. It's all hard to deal with! (To be continued.) )
