The train departed from Beijing, at Zhengzhou Station, and Henan Provincial Governor Tian Wenlie discussed Henan's development plan on the train, for Tian Wenlie's proposal, hoping to introduce Shandong industry, Yang Chao did not object, but stressed that metallurgy, chemical industry, these heavy polluting industries are not suitable for Henan.

Because Henan is in the middle of the world, Henan pollutes the Yellow River and will affect the downstream. Yang Chao suggested that Henan should focus on the development of light industry and the exploitation of local minerals, although light textiles also have pollution, but compared with chemical industry and metallurgy, it is not a thing, and it is not necessary to eat.

Henan is close to Shandong, although it has not been vigorously promoted, but the modern industrial model has slowly penetrated in, the British mining has led to the development of many coal mines in Henan, the old wealth, rich businessmen, and large landowners have invested in the mining industry, they purchase equipment, and carry out industrial mining.

There are also a few students and businessmen who have seen the world, bringing the industries from other places back to their hometowns, although they are relatively scattered, this county has a flour mill, that county has a spinning mill and so on, but it is always a fire, as long as these industries are suitable for development in the local area, the spark can start a prairie fire, and then a regional industrial center appears.

There is also a kind of machine introduced from other places to process local agricultural products, which is more and more complicated, some investors have seen similar things in other places and think that they can do it in their hometowns, and some are traditional crafts in learning from modernization, such as some oil mills bought diesel engines instead of their donkeys.

In short, Henan's economy, which has not been interfered with, presents a natural, slowly penetrating general development, and is groping towards industrialization.

Then I went to Hubei, and the local government of Hubei also made some communication, Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge has not yet been opened to traffic, from 1913 to repair, the construction period of 10 years, is still early.

The governor of Hubei Province is Wang Zhanyuan, like Tian Wenlie, he started with Yuan Shikai, and after suppressing the revolutionary party in Hubei, he became the overseer, and then became the governor.

Tian Wenlie and Yang Chao are not talking about any development plan, Tian Wenlie is still familiar with some affairs, Wang Zhanyuan is a pure soldier, and he doesn't know these things at all.

So Tian Wenlie was very unpopular, and he also tried to bribe Yang Chao, but Yang Chao rejected with a smile.

Then several parliamentarians under the guise of a development plan also came to visit Yang Chao, and their purpose was very simple, hoping that Yang Chao could remove Wang Zhanyuan.

"Haha, the president doesn't have the power to remove local officials. This is unconstitutional. ”

Several parliamentarians couldn't help but be disappointed.

Some of these are wearing suits, some are wearing green shirts, and there are obviously Chinese characters and Western characters. But they are obviously dissatisfied with Wang Zhanyuan.

"Since you don't accept this governor, you can use other means, such as impeachment in the upper parliament."

Several parliamentarians smiled bitterly: "The president doesn't know that the whole parliament is Wang Zhanyuan's henchmen, who will impeach him." ”

I asked some more about the situation, and found that these people were all local rich businessmen and capitalists, as well as big landlords, Wang Zhanyuan's looting in recent years made them very dissatisfied, but they were very helpless, so they wanted to take the opportunity of Yang Chao's visit to Hubei to get the president to remove the governor.

"It's a pity. The big president is imaginary, and he can't interfere in the place. You can only rely on your own efforts, and you can't go through the parliamentary process, but you can also go through the legal process. If all else doesn't work, can you still use the pressure of public opinion? ”

The parliamentarian continued to smile bitterly: "This Wang Zhanyuan doesn't care, the newspaper can't do anything to him every day, and he also asked the parliamentarians to read those articles that accuse him of corruption in front of the parliament, not ashamed, but proud, and laughed with a group of parliamentarians." ”

This is a typical warlord.

But Yang Chao can't move him, this is constitutionalism, all parties can play, but they need to abide by the law.

Hubei's economic development in recent years has been quite good, because it is located on the main road of the Yangtze River, the geographical location is second only to Shanghai, and there are also the Beijing-Hanzhou Railway, the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, and the north-south thoroughfare, Wuhan is an undisputed big wharf.

The other is the Zhangzhidong Westernization Movement left a family foundation to Wuhan, although the heavy industry marked by the Hanyang Iron Works failed, but many Shanghai capitalists came to Wuhan to invest, the first is that Wuhan has a good geographical environment, the second is that the Westernization Movement left a large number of talents, Wuhan is now the only city in China with 100,000 workers in addition to Shandong and Shanghai.

The reason why there are hundreds of thousands of workers in Wuhan is because there are many workers here. Of course, the vast majority of the workers in Wuhan still rely on commerce, and a large number of workers are employed in industries such as aquaculture, silver and building industries, miscellaneous grain stores, foreign oil stores, and hardware stores, and the transportation industry is also a large enterprise, but there are not many real manufacturing industries, and only a few iron factories and ship repair factories have skilled workers.

However, Wuhan is enough to develop and grow by commerce alone, and the number of wealthy merchants here is second only to Shanghai along the Yangtze River, and the group with the most rich merchants is the Ningbo Gang, many of whom expanded to Wuhan after the success of their business in Shanghai, and they transplanted Shanghai's transportation, commerce, banking and other industries to Hankou, and they are ashamed to say that Hankou is a colony of Shanghai.

These people are outsiders, so they naturally have to be bullied, Wang Zhanyuan is particularly ruthless in looting these people, but these people are not easy to mess with, they have the absolute right to speak in Shanghai, and Shanghai is the center of China's printing industry, where the publishing and other industries are extremely developed, even Shandong can't compare, so Wang Zhanyuan was scolded by the newspaper, and his reputation is very bad.

It's just that businessmen have only learned to scold, and they haven't learned to beat people, so they can only scold, and when it comes to getting serious, they still hope that high-level figures like Yang Chao will directly take down Wang Zhanyuan, but unfortunately Yang Chao also disappointed them.

After that, Yang Chao took the Ninghan Railway, which was extended by the Sichuan-Han Line, all the way to Nanjing.

"Great President!"

Hei Niu looked gloomy, and quietly lifted the curtain for Yang Chao to take a look.

Nanjing Railway Station is full of traffic, pushing the cart to do business, shouting loudly, getting on and off the train, carrying burdens, carrying bags, very busy.

"Is Nanjing very prosperous?"

Yang Chao said with a smile, the black bull snorted, Yang Chao knew why the black bull was dissatisfied, because there was no martial law at the Nanjing Railway Station.

Since the assassination of Li Yuanhong, Yang Chao's travel is not only mysterious, but also low-key, and is heavily protected along the way.

Yang Chao's special train has no signs, but he is not worried about being recognized, and no one cares about the people outside.

But there was still a group of soldiers waiting at the station, and there was no one around them, because each soldier was heavily armed and had a serious face.

"Go and ask Cai Zhenhua what's going on?"

Yang Chao asked Hei Niu to get out of the car to investigate.

Watching the black bull get out of the car, Yang Chao quietly walked to the back of the car, followed closely by two guards wearing black coats and leather shoes on their feet.

"You two, open the door."

There were also two guards at the door, and the two looked at each other and did not dare to move.

Yang Chao said with a cold face: "What? I want to rebel! ”

These two are veterans from Shandong, and they are Yang Chao's old guards.

The two hesitated.

"Black Bull can't control you, he's the commander of the capital garrison, you don't have to count on him. Open the door! ”

Yang Chao urged again.

The two reluctantly opened the car door, and Yang Chao immediately jumped off the train.

Seeing this, the four guards behind him didn't dare to wait for the black bull to come back, so they hurriedly jumped out of the car, only chasing Yang Chao, leaving behind the more than 500 presidential guards in the car.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Nanjing garrison of 30,000 troops was dispatched to surround the Nanjing station, and each entrance was guarded by soldiers, prohibiting entry and exit, and then checking one by one.

The officers looked nervous and had a very arrogant attitude, which made the common people very dissatisfied, but they were panicked and did not dare to argue.

Nanjing used to be Feng Guozhang's territory, and after Feng Guozhang's army was absorbed, Yang Chao sent Cai Zhenhua to bring three divisions here to change the defense.

These soldiers have good military discipline, never spare their lives, the army and the people are safe, but there is no conflict, and this blockade of the station is only the first large-scale military operation.

"What are you eating? You can lose the president, a big living person. ”

"You Tama said Lao Tzu, what are you eating, I ask you, why don't you have martial law."

This is Hei Niu and Cai Zhenhua, the two have been arguing since Yang Chao disappeared, when Hei Niu went down to find Cai Zhenhua who was waiting at the station, and then the two waited for the train together, but found that Yang Chao was missing.

Now I was in a hurry, and the search for the entire station, Cai Zhenhua was even a phone call, and the army was pulled over.

"What can I do, the parliament does not agree to martial law, and the governor does not agree, saying that it disturbs the people. Can I do it on my own? ”

Cai Zhenhua complained.

Hei Niu said angrily: "Are you eating the president's salary or Nanjing's salary, I think you were bought by Nanjing, did they give you any benefits, I heard that they are going to engage in some guards, are you allowed to be a big official." ”

"You fart, Lao Tzu is not a proper military commander, be a fart guard. Isn't it still the president's order that there must be a local decree, otherwise troops cannot be transferred? ”

The two of them almost fought several times, and the guards of both of them were nervous, thinking about whether they would also express themselves when they grew up.

"Nanjing's group of cowards, it's not good to fight, a group of obscene embryos, they will do these things like stealing chickens and dogs!"

Black Bull's culture has improved in recent years, and he can also say a few idioms.

He couldn't get angry, and suddenly pulled out his gun, which scared Cai Zhenhua's subordinates, and they also pulled out their guns.

Cai Zhenhua scolded them with a cold face, they were soldiers in Qingdao together, and they went south and north with the president together, and they didn't use guns.

Of course, the black bull was not against Cai Zhenhua, he was on fire and said angrily: "I went to copy the bird council, will you go?" ”

Cai Zhenhua's face changed, do you really want to copy the Nanjing Council? (To be continued.) )
