Discerning things and walking ahead of others is the patent of the traverser, and Chen Wenqiang is no exception. ：／

The Danish Madsen light machine gun, launched in 1902, is equipped with a bipod, can shoot from the shoulder, weighs less than 10 kilograms, and is very reliable, with a variety of calibers and structures to adapt to different user requirements. Between 1903 and 1914, Russia alone purchased one and a half thousand Madsen machine guns from Denmark for use in the Russo-Japanese War and World War I.

Although the price of the Madsen machine gun is high, Chen Wenqiang is not ready to buy it all, imitation is his ultimate goal. What he didn't know was that in fact, in 1908, the Guangdong General Ordnance Factory would begin to imitate the Madsen machine gun, which was called the "light machine fast gun" at that time, and there were also imitations in the Kaifeng Arsenal and other places, but the number of these imitations was not too large, and it was not equipped in large quantities in the squadron.

As a firearms expert, Chen Wenqiang chose the American Springfield 1903 and the German Mauser 1898, which is for double insurance and walking on two legs. Seizing the favorable opportunity of completely controlling Yazhou now, we cannot choose only one kind of express transportation or multi-transportation. Moreover, both rifles are quite good in terms of performance.

Rush to ship weapons and ammunition first, and then buy production lines. This is also Chen Wenqiang's idea that has not been formed for a long time. The purchase of large quantities of weapons and ammunition is not recognized by the government, but the production line belongs to mechanical equipment, and with those officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how can they discern what it is for?

Compared with Romai, Karls, the German, was much less trusted, and the weapons and ammunition he bought were usually handed over on a desert island off the coast and transported to the dock by the shipping company's ship, so that he did not know the exact place of receipt.

But this did not hinder Kars's enthusiasm, Chen Wenqiang bought such a large amount of weapons and ammunition, and the temptation to make a fortune and soon become a rich man made him excited and excited, and he was doing his best to meet Chen Wenqiang's request.

The foundation for building the army is becoming more and more solid, and Chen Wenqiang's cooperation with German companies and enterprises is also being carried out on a large scale. The smelting equipment and technical personnel of Krupp AG are the key factors in the construction and production of qualified rails in the joint steel plant as quickly as possible; Siemens' power equipment is being sold to various parts of China as the business of United Power Engineering Co., Ltd. expands. Suzhou, Wuxi, Guangzhou, Kunming, ......; The newly built glass factory in Yazhou not only introduced a full set of optical manufacturing equipment from Germany, but also directly hired seven optical experts from Munich, the optical capital of Germany, to come to the factory for consulting and guidance, and organized eight international students led by Cai Yuanpei to go directly to Germany for advanced optics. At the same time, it also established a branch of the Renaissance Association in Germany to receive international students who will enter Germany in the future......

Winter in Hainan is actually spring in the north. It is the most beautiful time of the year. There is no howling cold wind, no snow, and the ground under your feet is scorching. The wind blowing in front of this face is warm.

"It's too cold in Shanghai in winter, so it's better to be here." Jin Sanye patted his knee gently, "When people are old, this problem will come, and the pain here is much lighter." ”

"The air is good, so it's a great place to recuperate." Chen Wenqiang smiled faintly and said, "Shanghai has not been quiet recently, so it's good for senior brother to stay here for a while." ”

The kidnapping of the four giants of the Opium Merchants Association for extortion is really a big case that has caused a sensation in Shanghai and even the whole country. As the largest and strongest gang in Shanghai, Xingyitang is the hall. Naturally, it is indispensable to be suspected and scouted. After the success of the mission, the manpower of the mission had already avoided the limelight, either to Qiongzhou or to Nanyang, so that the Huayang patrol in the public concession could not find any clues.

"I'm not afraid of foreign devils." Jin Sanye defended stiffly, and said with emotion in the slow rotation of the ceiling fan above his head: "Senior brother, I have obeyed you." How much does it cost to spread a big stall anywhere? ”

"It's really a pile of money." Chen Wenqiang did not deny it, and said with his fingers: "Nearly three million have been spent." I account for one-third, the joint venture bank accounts for one-third, and the rest of the shareholding merchants account for one-third. It is estimated that another 3.5 million people will be able to basically settle the people who have moved here. It's all up to me to pay for. ”

"Those guys, it's not like you're almost doing a good job and making a profit." Jin Sanye pursed his lips with some contempt, and did not forget to remind: "Some businesses that make a lot of money still have to be in their own hands, so as not to let outsiders get rid of them." ”

A business that is clearly profitable. Everyone is willing to take a stake; If the future is unclear, you will have to pay more for it. Chen Wenqiang knew that Jin Sanye's words were unreasonable, but he didn't argue, he just smiled and nodded.

"For example, this pharmaceutical factory." Jin Sanye was still unsatisfied, and continued: "There are already three new medicines, right? In Asia, it is still an exclusive production, and it is not a price that is set at what price. ”

"Holding is necessary, and it is okay to give up some shares and absorb more funds to expand production." Chen Wenqiang smiled: "As long as we have the final say, this is just a trivial matter." By the way, isn't Jin He going to study in Germany? In another month, I will send someone to Germany to study shipbuilding and military affairs, and he can go with him. ”

"Germany is far away!" Jin Sanye frowned slightly and shook his head, "It's convenient to go to Japan." Besides, what is wrong with learning, learning military? Is it going to be a war after that? Guns don't have eyes! ”

"It's up to you, senior brother, you can just control it." Chen Wenqiang was not reluctant, got up and said, "I'll go to the beach, senior brother, will you go?" ”

"I'm not going." Jin Sanye waved his hand and said, "I'll go find someone to fight a few rounds." There are female foreign devils bathing (swimming) on the beach, which are immoral and will cause eye diseases. ”

Chen Wenqiang shrugged his shoulders, smiled indifferently, turned around and walked out.

…………

On the flat beach, wave after wave surged up silently, softly disappearing into the fine sand. The setting sun burned the sky red on the horizon, and the sea was dyed red, giving it a satin-like sheen as the waves undulated.

There are not many swimmers, and Caifeng has resisted from the beginning to loving the sport, and this time, she didn't get out of the water until twilight approached.

Swimwear became a specialized clothing originated at the beginning of the twentieth century, both after 1900. At that time, the prototype of swimwear was nothing more than a short dress, which was not much different from everyday dresses. In fact, at that time, most people did not prepare special swimwear when playing in the water in public baths.

Caifeng wears a tattooed chest and shorts inside, and a half-sleeved one-piece silk dress with a tight waist and knee-length length on the outside. This style became popular all of a sudden, and it was scrambling to buy by those foreign devils in Yazhou. Even the breast tattoo was original and peculiar at the time. After its launch in Fashion Magazine, it quickly replaced the petticoat worn by European noblewomen, and the use of small corsets by working-class women and peasant women. Tie at chest.

Chen Wenqiang handed over the big bath towel, put it on Caifeng, and said with a smile: "When your injury is healed, you don't have to sit here." Isn't it hard? ”

"It's beautiful to look at the sea and the sunset." Chen Wenqiang did not tell Caifeng that the injuries he had suffered in the secret training base of Wuzhi Mountain had healed earlier, mainly because he was afraid of scaring her, and the speed of healing actually surprised him very much.

From spiritual discovery to physical recovery. Chen Wenqiang felt that he had a tendency to become a monster. Maybe it's a reward from heaven to make yourself more capable of saving others? Or is it a hint from heaven that you are on the right path?

"Let's go, Lily should be in a hurry." Caifeng shrugged the bath towel upward, gently grabbed Chen Wenqiang's arm, and said happily: "I'm so happy that she is willing to call me 'Mom'." ”

"I have a daughter." Chen Wenqiang smiled and said, "Lili is very smart and very ghostly. Very good at looking at other people's faces. It's okay this way, when you are unhappy, she will not bother you, but will come to coax you. ”

"Well, it's a sensible kid." Caifeng nodded yes, paused, and said, "Then you will live here for a long time in the future?" I'm fine, Lily is afraid I'll miss her little friend. ”

Chen Wenqiang thought for a while and said: "She will have this endurance, and the environment in Shanghai is not suitable for her development at this age." It's too messy there. If I don't have something to do and I really don't want to go back, I think it's good to die here. ”

"Quiet and peaceful. The people are simple, the air is good, and the scenery is beautiful. Caifeng nodded in agreement: "Well, according to what you said, Lili will get used to it." ”

If the revolution had been launched in Qiongzhou as planned, it would naturally not have been confined to one place. The first goal should be to attack Liangguang, and Qiongzhou has become the rear. The resulting revolutionary wave could spread throughout the country, and Shanghai would experience a turmoil.

This is just one of the reasons why Chen Wenqiang hopes that Caifeng and Lili will stay in Yazhou, and the environment and chaos in Shanghai are indeed not suitable for Lili's growth.

On the other hand, Yazhou has not only stabilized its foothold under the frenzied investment, but also has a tendency to expand to the surrounding areas. A large number of immigrants from Shanghai, Huaibei, and Liangguang will not only become a force for the development and construction of Qiongzhou, but also a force for army building and expansion. This is not counting the enthusiastic young people recruited from home and abroad.

Within a year, 100,000 people were immigrated and placed in Yazhou, Lingshui, and Wanning, although the cost was huge, but there were potential conditions for forming an army of 10,000, and there was also the capital to firmly control the whole Qiong. You must know that after the Opium War, the population density in the south and southwest of Qiongzhou was less than 50 people per square kilometer, and Dongfang County even had only 17 people per square kilometer, and the total population of Qiongzhou was less than 2 million.

As long as these four support measures are implemented, not only will the livelihood of migrants be guaranteed, but the living conditions of the indigenous people will also be greatly improved.

Launched from Qiongzhou, and tried to hold out in the mountains and forests for a long time; To the development of immigrants, the training and construction of troops, the stability of control of the localities, with the aim of completing the whole battle in one battle, and then using Qiongzhou as the base, to attack the two Guangzhou. Chen Wenqiang's thinking is gradually changing.

The invention of the new antimalarial drug chloroquine a month ago not only broke the monopoly of quinine by the Dutch, but also paved the way for the development and establishment of Qiongzhou. Compared with quinine, chloroquine is not only eight to thirty-two times more effective, but also solves the problem of the source and cost of antimalarial drugs, and is the world's first mass-effective antimalarial drug.

A few months ago, it was announced in a high-profile manner, saying that it would produce results quickly, and it really came true. Chen Wenqiang once again shocked the world, and his reputation is skyrocketing. The positive effect is the investment enthusiasm of many businessmen such as Wang Hongtu and wealthy businessmen in Nanyang. The pharmaceutical factory in Shanghai suddenly tripled, and not only did it greatly increase its production capacity for new drugs, but it also purchased patents or production rights for drugs such as aspirin and began manufacturing.

At the same time, Chen Wenqiang also asked the pen of the Fuxing Association to write on his behalf, and published signed articles in Shanghai newspapers, calling for reform and advocating constitutionalism. Obviously, this smokescreen was so successful that Chen Wenqiang branded himself as a constitutionalist, which was recognized by most people, including Cen Chunxuan.

At this time, around the compilation of the official system and the constitutional reform, the Qing court formed two major groups, Yixuan and Yuan Shikai were a group, and the contradictions with the faction headed by the Minister of Military Aircraft Qu Hongzhen had been completely clear, and the two sides were already incompatible, and they both wanted to go to each other and then quickly. Qu Hongzhen's weak strength attracted the well-known Cen Chunxuan as an Olympic aid, and Cen Chunxuan regarded Chen Wenqiang as an important candidate to help him improve his reputation and increase his political capital.

It is also reasonable for Cen Chunxuan to have such an idea, and judging from the article published under Chen Wenqiang's signature, as well as his relationship and contacts with Zhang Jian and other constitutionalist businessmen and industrialists, there is no doubt that he is a constitutionalist. With his personal fame and achievements in business and commerce, Chen Wenqiang will definitely be a banner to be set up by the constitutionalists. Zhang Jian's moral dignity is high, Chen Wenqiang's youth and promising, and the constitutionalists want to strengthen their momentum, so they naturally want to support these two.

Therefore, although there are some outrageous places about Chen Wenqiang's development and construction in Qiongzhou, Cen Chunxuan's energy is trapped in party disputes, so he turns a blind eye and fools the past. This did play a great role in Chen Wenqiang's establishment of a foundation in Yazhou in a short period of time.

The Yazhou base is becoming more and more stable, and Chen Wenqiang wants to keep Caifeng and Lili here, which is a normal idea. After all, the focus of his work has changed, and he will spend most of his time in Yazhou in the future, and he will spend very little time in Shanghai.

When Chen Wenqiang and Caifeng returned to their residence, a movie was being shown in the open space of the residential area. And Lili, accompanied by the maid Ah San, sat in the front row with a few foreign children, watching with relish.

The current film has not yet departed from the traces of its birth, and it makes people feel new with its juggling and magic gestures. For example, films such as "The Train Arrives at the Station", "The Man Who Walks on the Knees" to "The Water Dragon Goes Out", "The Water Dragon Fights the Fire", "Extinguishing the Fire", "Saving the Victims" and so on. But this kind of realistic naturalistic film can easily make people's interest so much that in the end no one cares about it.

"I'll just say, Lily will have new friends and adapt to life here." Chen Wenqiang said as he spoke, constantly nodding and greeting a few foreign devils.

"That's fine." A smile appeared on Caifeng's face, and she laughed even more heartily when she heard Lili's crisp laugh.
