In the midst of many court discussions, the situation in Baotou made it clear to Bala, even if the Qing Dynasty was in its infancy, even if he was no longer able to control this huge empire, more than 300 years of foundation plus some inertia, maybe some things would be missed, but as long as they paid attention to it, the huge bureaucratic system and some potential things still made them find a lot of things about Baotou.

In that year, when Baotou was in the Wuhan Industry Persuasion Conference, when he shined, someone mentioned yì and set a separate tax system for Baotou, after all, it was only on the surface, Baotou sold so many things, saying that it was a tax system, but in fact, it was shearing sheep, drying up and fishing, an output of tens of millions, no matter how much you fish, you can make a profit.

It's a pity that in 1909, it was the most turbulent Qing government, even Yuan Shikai was brought to his hometown, the contradiction between Beiyang and the central government, must have intensified on Cheng dù, Baotou is not compared to others, there is still a new army of the Association, at this time the Qing government regretted it incomparably, if you don't give Baotou a new army to build the right to build, a certain Cheng dù, Baotou is muddy, in the Beiyang turmoil, in the hands of the Qing court center, there are not many troops that can be used, can only watch, and even some people with a heart, This issue was not brought to the top.

Now, the headlines of the major newspapers and periodicals have completely detonated the news of Baotou, coupled with the impetus of the great powers, so that more and more people have seen this piece of fat, and when all kinds of forces are concentrated together, even the Beiyang system, which confronted the Qing court, also put forward tendentious opinions under the instructions of Yuan Shikai, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the bureaucracy of the Qing court began to operate rapidly.

Yang Yuanzhao has always thought that on the side of Baotou, slowly develop, gradually accumulate strength, when the strength is great, you can ignore a qiē, but Yang Yuanzhao does not know that the market he occupies, perhaps in the beginning, is only a market owned by the small peasant economy, with the gradual spread of Baotou products, and gradually penetrates into various places, especially Jiangnan, which is almost the traditional sphere of influence of foreign forces, and their products are dumped. The sales of various products have decreased sharply, with the high-quality and inexpensive Baotou manufacturing, who else to buy foreign expensive and bad products, at the beginning, the powers did not notice this, but with the rapid increase in the strength of Baotou, the output is becoming more and more abundant, Baotou began to occupy their market frantically, its own strong foreign bank, also Baotou's combination of punches, when some of the parry, starting from cotton, matches, daily necessities, soap, cement, steel products, etc., etc., A series of defeats were defeated.

In 1910, the annual output value of Baotou reached an astonishing 10 billion yuan, of which more than 8 percent of the market, were taken away from the hands of the powers, the current powers, from light industrial products to machinery and equipment, can not be sold, the only thing to do, is the arms business, which is a very big blow to the powers, the powers are also very frightened of China's development, and finally let the powers pay attention to it, or that time cotton crisis, although Britain and France also sheared wool in the world futures market, but in China's feathers, Exiting the cotton cloth market of more than 1 billion yuan a year, and even in other aspects, the losses are extremely huge, and Baotou has become a smelly and hard stone, which must be moved.

The tyrannical forces of the late Qing Dynasty all had great ties with foreign forces, and Britain and France had the greatest influence in China.

Itself, Yuan Shikai is not ready to move Baotou, he knows very well that a strong industrial base, for the benefits of China, Baotou has not shown Xiàn to develop in the military field, just a co-ordination, even if it is strong, it can be strong across the Beiyang, in his opinion, as long as he goes out of the mountain again, Baotou can be included in his banner.

But I couldn't stand the joint requirements of the Qing government and the powers, offended the Qing government, and I was not very afraid, but if I offended the powers, it would be completely unfavorable to the Beiyang Army, and maybe, the military strength of the Beiyang Army would be completely turned into a burning stick because of the lack of ammunition, so with the permission of Yuan Shikai, the war weapons of the entire Beiyang began to move, and the fifth and sixth towns began to move, and began to think about the periphery of Baotou and moved over.

Although, just from one side of Beijing, to the other side, from Zhangjiakou, there are at least hundreds of miles, China has no secrets, especially the Beiyang Army, as the focus of Baotou's prevention, the Beiyang Army is the focus of their monitoring, especially in the newspapers and periodicals promulgated Baotou's headlines today, any action, will attract attention, once they move, soon, at the fastest speed, was fed back to Yang Yuanzhao here, including Cai Yi, all the army's high-level leaders, as well as the principal of the military academy Jiang Baili, came to the war room at the same time, At the same time, in the war room, there are also the core personnel among the shareholders, Liu Shu, as well as Hou Jinsheng and some Jin merchants.

Yang Yuanzhao himself does not want to be at this moment, with the Beiyang Army, but the sky is not as good as people, the development of Baotou has become a huge butterfly, affecting the process of the whole world, Baotou made, has not only in China, some high-quality and inexpensive products, bulk exports abroad, the beginning of the leading time Harpy, in addition to the sale of tungsten, began to open up the German and European markets, unexpectedly, the market response is strong, high-quality and low-cost products, anywhere is welcome, Therefore, China has opened the market in Europe and the United States, and the sales volume has been rising on the basis of the original, and Baotou manufacturing has occupied a lot of the market, with an output value of more than one billion yuan, and it is a dollar, converted into pounds, there are also three or four billion, plus other small factories in China, which have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the whole world seems to be different, China has changed from a barren and backward agricultural country overnight, a country that can only become a dumping ground, and has become an industrial exporter.

One of the most strongly hit, is Japan, Japan itself attaches more importance to the Chinese market, silk weaving, textile industry, has always been the pillar of Japan, Japan won two wars related to the fortune of the country, its own small and barren show, their war dividends are not too big, but the continuous development of the textile industry and silk weaving industry, all of a sudden, let Japan begin to slowly recover, since 1909, China began to exert force, a large number of cotton textiles, wool textiles and silk also hit the market, Japan has been hit far-reachingly, especially by the cotton crisis, and in addition to the tens of millions of pounds that were directly swept away by Britain, the direct competition is simply broken.

In 1910 alone, there were more than 4,000 textile and related industries closed, and the accumulated economic losses amounted to billions of yen, which was a far-reaching blow to the Japanese economy that had just recovered after the Russo-Japanese War. These are all things captured during the Russo-Japanese War, and some of them have been returned.

This batch of munitions, in Baotou's view, is rags, but in Beiyang, it is a treasure, and there has always been a planned expansion of the army, which seems to be on the agenda.

Different from the previous dragging, the central court discussion, it only took about a week to determine, first of all, the tax card, has been clear, will be set up on both sides of Baotou, each tax card will be according to the price of the goods, 3 percent, and they are also required to pay a special tax of 60 million silver dollars.

Don't mention the depressing figure of 60 million, just say that it is thirty percent, this is almost a tax burden like peeling and cramping, it is certain that Baotou will never endure it, this point, the Qing court is probably very clear, and they do not intend to let Baotou agree, and the real decision is still the fifth town and the sixth town of Beiyang.

The news of the Beiyang troops was quickly summarized, Liu Shu was slightly panicked, he knew that it turned out that in China, money is not a qiē, there is not enough protection, money can not bring guarantees, but it is the head of the Jin merchants, they are well-informed, accustomed to these battles, directly faced Yang Yuanzhao, and said: "President Yang, are you sure!" ”

"It's no problem to hold Baotou, and it's no problem to even annihilate the enemy outside, the key lies in the people's will, if the people's heart is turbulent, then the gains outweigh the losses!"

"People's hearts!" The head of the Jin merchant was stunned for a moment, and some understood, the current Baotou is no longer the original, the small peasant economy, with the simple relationship between farmers and landlords, merchants and men, among the millions of residents, the vast majority of them are workers, Baotou can show strong strength, and the manufacturing industry is extremely developed, the reason is that many workers, unlike farmers and guys, workers are difficult to cultivate, if this group of workers is turbulent, then all are finished.

Obviously, Yang Yuanzhao never considered whether he would fail, and he couldn't even resist the possibility of Beiyang, he never thought about it, he was just thinking that once the sword soldiers started, it would affect the industrial production of Baotou.

Liu Shu looked at Yang Yuanzhao and asked in surprise: "Yuanzhao, haven't you ever been worried, we will be attacked by the Beiyang?" ”

"Don't worry, don't believe you ask them!" Yang Yuanzhao pointed to Feng Yuxiang and the others who were standing calmly in the war room, it can be said that their faces were calm, yes, the new army, there are so many troops in Baotou, but the prestige of Beiyang has been erected in more than ten years, and it is worthy of the strongest army in China.

"No problem!" Feng Yuxiang said with certainty that among the new army, the one who has the most contact with the outside world is the actual controller of the new army, and Liu Shu is also familiar with him, knowing that he is a very strict person, and without eighty or ninety percent certainty, he will not make an assertion at all, when the strength of the new army in Baotou has grown to the point of fighting against the two towns of Beiyang.
