Chapter 5: The Great Disappointment
It's really sad and lamentable! Are you tired? A group of old coffins in the late Qing Dynasty killed traitorous officials and pig slaves, and Ma Leng died. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIf there are a few more good officials like Xiang Wu Dayi, what are you afraid of the mad dogs and wild boar monsters of the eight countries, all of them will be killed and killed, cut to death, beaten to death, pumped to death, and suddenly killed. Don't say it, I'm angry, let's get down to business, or I might be sprayed.
This good official Wu Dashi was born in 1835 in Shuanglin Lane, Suzhou, because of the wedding of the Tongzhi Emperor, he asked for a reduction in the cost, and later said that the current affairs were difficult, and suggested that the Old Summer Palace project should be stopped. At the beginning of 1879, he was a member of Henan Hebei Province, Li Hongzhang recommended Wu Dashi to transfer to Jilin in the east, and during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, he had built a ship in Jilin, so the city was also called "shipyard", and it has always been an important military base to resist the invasion of the sand demon Lao Maozi.
Wu Dacheng, a good official, remembered that "the minister and Ming'an (Jilin General) sent Li Jinyong, the candidate prefect, to visit the lead and iron mines, and found a mine Dongshan iron mine, a Jiaohe coal mine, and a Lizigou lead mine. According to Li Jinyong's personal survey, the iron sample was sampled and the lead sample was collected, and the fineness was quite good. There are not only these three places for iron ore and lead mines, and it is necessary to dispatch personnel who are familiar with mining and hire workers to mine and refine, and they will be able to open up a wide range of profits. The iron goods of the three eastern provinces have always been trafficked from deer, and the value is extremely expensive. Now it is planned to use the western method to smelt lead and iron, and get a coal kiln nearby, which is enough for melting, which can be used by the people, can be used by the people, can be used to make weapons, and can be used to meet the needs. That is, the machine was purchased from the ocean, and the land route was a little trekking, and there was iron, lead and coal in this province, so it would be a pity to abandon it. This machine factory is indispensable. "Later, many prospectors were transferred to Kyrgyzstan and many available ore sources were discovered.
At this point, my hometown of Jilin, gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum, lead, coal and other military resources are all available, and the foundation for the construction of the bureau is ready, only the personnel and equipment and technology are missing. At that time, the surrounding area of Jilin is more dense mountains and forests, the timber resources are extremely rich, there are big trees and big forests everywhere, and the Songhua River flows the whole territory, it is a very few rivers that do not freeze, the logging enters the river and transports it along the water, it is extremely convenient to go to the riverside, the long trees are strung on the river surface, and the river goes down into the city, which is also a wonder of Jilin at that time. The slender man is accompanied by wood along the coast, the log on the river surface goes down the river, and the big wood is lined up and in a line, and the wood is transported in a mighty way.
When the good official Wu Dashi arrived in Jilin, he added a number of wharves and ferries along the Songhua River, so that the foundation of water transportation was integrated.
At that time, my hometown Jilin was extremely rich in grain, the Songhua River waterway was very deep, the river was wide and the water was large, the waterway was extremely convenient, the water flow extended in all directions, it could go straight out of the Tumen River estuary, the south could go to the Daliao River to the sea, and the north went to the sea from the Heilongjiang River. Therefore, Jilin City at that time also became the main processing and distribution center of the surrounding grain. Later, with the establishment of Jilin Bureau, its shipping capacity was rapidly enhanced, and there were many shipping retail merchants, putting wood and transporting goods, which was very busy and lively, so as to speed up the emergence of the metal industry, building materials industry (adobe ash, cement called ash), ceramics industry, wood industry, paper industry, grain industry, sugar industry, silk reeling industry, dyeing and weaving industry, boots, hats, cloth manufacturing, fur processing industry, etc., large and small, a variety of modern enterprises, such as spring grass after the rain, a few days of grass has been high general growth and development. Taking the traditional pot industry (brewing industry) in my hometown as an example, there were more than 40 pots at that time, and its production and sales were large.
Therefore, the urbanization of Jilin at that time was similar to the "enclave" type of expansion, and the new industry was also similar to the "jump" type of development, and the development of the new industry of urbanization also opened up the prosperity of my hometown in the northeast, the modern industrial base behind the scenes, dreaming of a new starting point in 1885, a new journey, a new rise, a new breakthrough, a new rise, and a new rise in 1885.
At that time, Jilin Bureau was the first modern machinery industry in the old Northeast China, it used basically all machinery and equipment, and ran the Biaozheng Academy (Machinery Manufacturing Industry College), which broke out of the ancient city of Jilin Frontier, which triggered a series of modern industrial development in Northeast China at that time, and triggered the development of various mineral deposits; It was the later period when the Machinery Bureau had a power plant, which triggered the establishment of the Baohua Electric Light Company; It was Zhou Fengchun of the Jilin Bureau who founded Jisheng Fire Mill Company and Zhiqiang Paper Mill in the later period, and they were the vanguard of Northeast industry at that time.
In 1880, the good official Wu Dashi received an edict and said in a letter to his old mother: "The Russians are only fighting with each other on the matter of the treaty, and there is no reason to provoke; And the border guards at all ports cannot but be prepared. Jilin is the northern barrier, which is quite important. With the humble position of Taoist, he was promoted to the rank of secretary, and added the title of assistant, and he had to be the counselor of the Minister of Command. ā
It can be seen from this that the good official Wu Dayi at that time understood the strategic position of Jilin. Wu "originally planned to return to his hometown and province, but because of the urgent affairs of Jilin, he did not dare to beg for leave", so he was praised by the Empress Dowager Ci'an: "Loyalty and filial piety are the same." After a little preparation in Beijing, the good official Wu Dashi left Beijing in May, left Shanhaiguan in June, and arrived in Jilin Province (now Jilin City) on the afternoon of the 24th.
At that time, the capital of Jilin Province was Jilin City, not the current Changchun City. The city of the same name in the province and city of the whole country, only Jilin City is the only one.
The introduction of advanced technology and equipment from the West was definitely an earth-shattering event for the relatively closed and backward Jilin provincial capital at that time, but there were many obstacles and difficulties. However, in the process of establishment, the good official Wu Dashi went through all the hardships and overcame the difficulties such as transferring personnel to build a factory, selecting craftsmen to purchase and transfer equipment. He was small enough to be a pioneer, a medium enough to rejuvenate a border city, and a large enough to increase national strength, and he created a precedent for modern military production in Northeast China. Wu Dashi, a good official, made great contributions to the establishment and development of the Jilin Bureau, to the defense of the border, and to resist the aggression of foreign forces.
The good official Wu Dashi is one of the few patriotic and capable officials in modern Chinese history. When he was ordered to be in danger, he made immortal achievements in developing the Jilin frontier to defend against the invasion of sand demons and defend the national territory. The establishment of the Jilin Bureau, as an important part of Jilin's national defense, aims to resist foreign aggression, and is the successful practice of the good official Wu Dayi adhering to the idea of "mastering the skills of the master to control the enemy". Although due to the limitations of the times and history, the role of the Jilin Bureau in the past was not completely correct and fully played, but after all, it was built and developed independently by the Chinese people after the introduction of advanced technology and equipment from the West.
In the face of the threat of invasion by the sand demon white-skinned wild boar Lao Maozi, when the good official Wu Dashi arrived in Jilin, the army of the Jilin general at that time Ming'an was mainly the Eight Banners Battalion and a very small number of local town officers and soldiers who trained the army, and there was no army specifically used to defend the border defense of Jilin......
