In many cases, it is not the constraints of science and technology, but the limitations of thinking, so that many things are not invented or discovered.

For example, the mortar is a relatively similar structure to the mountain cannon and mortar cannon at that time, as long as some improvements are made according to Chen Wenqiang's requirements, it is not very difficult to create an appearance close to his impression of later generations.

There was also the airship, which was still in its infancy at that time, and the use of airships to carry bombs for air strikes was obviously a more unexpected and original way of playing.

Therefore, although military command is not Chen Wenqiang's forte, there are still many strategies and tactics that have changed because of his thinking. In order to play the role of new weapons and equipment, the troops must adapt.

"If the situation develops on the current trajectory, the revolution will most likely succeed in two years, and no more than three years at most. Therefore, we must be patient, carry out both revolution and construction, reform and accumulate defects, and learn and improve in the course of implementing the new policy......"

When Song Fuhua once again announced that he would push forward the timetable of the revolution, in fact, even he did not know why Chen Wenqiang was so confident. But such an announcement would be a milestone on the long road that would uplift and excite the revolutionaries who were rushing towards their goal, and cheer at how close the goal had come.

The strength of the base areas has also been greatly improved because of Chen Wenqiang's help, which is mainly reflected in the creation of the military industrial system.

Chen Wenqiang, who gradually seized the power of the Guangdong naval division, gave the Qing court a fold, boasting that he had blocked the sea surface of Qinzhou and Fangcheng. After the bad relations with Macao and Portugal, they made alarmist remarks, so that the Qing court, which did not want to expand the situation, did not send the Beiyang naval division south.

In this way, when to patrol and send a few warships, Chen Wenqiang is the main arrangement. The external access of Qinzhou and Fangcheng was almost unaffected. The machinery and equipment moved from the Hubei Gun Factory to Yazhou, as well as the related technicians, entered the base area in such a grand manner.

Tank steel factory, smokeless medicine factory, nitric acid factory, sulfuric acid plant, copper melting factory, gun and ammunition factory were established one after another, and the production equipment of Hanyang-made and Krupp land fast guns was also debugged and started production.

Although the factories were initially built, the production and manufacturing capacity was not satisfactory. But it relieved Chen Wenqiang's tension and relieved the pressure on the Yazhou Arsenal.

Copper and tin ingots from Yunnan and antimony ore from Guangxi were shipped out, bringing funds to the revolutionary military government and income to Chen Wenqiang; The steel from Yazhou, the 75-millimeter tube was brought in, strengthening the combat strength of the revolutionary army.

Shipped in and out. Coupled with the base's own production and manufacturing, Chen Wenqiang breathed a sigh of relief. A basically self-sufficient system, although there is still a long way to go without his support and funding, has also enabled him to have more abundant funds to expand his own business.

Organize and train a new army, suppress bandits and clear townships, build railways, and attract investment. Agricultural transformation, factories and enterprises started construction. The salt administration has been reformed in depth and the scale of production has been expanded......

If the New Policies of the late Qing Dynasty were not perfunctory and false as some people claim, then in Guangdong, the reform and construction led by Chen Wenqiang was the most powerful and successful in the whole of China. The most vibrant province.

With the end of the conflict with Macao and Portugal, the demarcation of Macao ended with the victory of the Chinese side, and the direct force possessed by Chen Wenqiang also reached a new level. In Guangdong, thousands of police officers are under his direct command, and their strength is already unmatched.

Not the Governor. but better than the governor. Chen Wenqiang's multi-tasking role is now finally manifested, and the orders issued by various yamen are just a formality with the governor Yuan Shuxun, and even reported here, and the implementation has begun there.

Relying on strength is also becoming more and more arrogant, and all the officials he can manage, as long as the implementation of the new policy is not effective, he will immediately take it down and clear the obstacles. Do you think that the dismissal of officials has to go through a set of procedures stipulated by the imperial court, Chen Wenqiang does not have that time, the new officials escorted by the police quickly grasp the authority, and the dismissed officials can only go home and wait for the court to deal with it!

Okay, you still have to go to the door, and you have to find the court officials, or the governor Yuan Shuxun to say Xiang, then Chen Wenqiang will use his tricks to cut off your money and food, and cut off the Yamen's money, and follow you to drink the northwest wind.

One is the guarantee of force, the other is the control of money, as long as these two tricks are in hand, the governor Yuan Shuxun also has to be polite and bow his head to show weakness.

Impeachment of Chen Wenqiang? Yuan Shuxun has already written several letters, but he can only use them as a vent, and he dare not send them out when he collects them.

There is no way, there is a rebellion in the southwest, and the stability of Guangdong is the overall situation that the imperial court wants. Now Chen Wenqiang has full fledgling, and his fame, power, army, social resources, etc., can no longer be taken down by a holy decree. The imperial court probably can also see it clearly, and while thinking about restraint, it can only be appeased first.

Yuan Shuxun didn't want to be used by the imperial court as a bargaining chip to appease Chen Wenqiang, and he was even more worried, that is, the more Chen Wenqiang pushed him harder, the more he was able to do big things that made people's jaws drop. In the unlikely event that Chen Wenqiang threw himself into the Revolutionary Party, Guangdong would almost be in the pocket of the Revolutionary Party. Regarding Chen Wenqiang's power in Guangdong, Yuan Shuxun is also well aware of it, and he is not confused at all.

But who is to blame for this? I can only complain that in the chaotic situation, no one has the ability to stabilize Guangdong and organize and train the new army.

And it was precisely this chaotic situation that gave Chen Wenqiang the opportunity to show his strength, and gradually seized political, economic, and military power. The so-called heroes in troubled times, Chen Wenqiang can have the strength he has today, it is not a fluke, but he does have real talent and courage.

"My lord, the governor of Fujian and Jiangxi provinces impeached Chen Wenqiang and asked him to stop the salt policy reform and prevent Guangdong salt from entering through smuggling. In addition, officials from Sichuan, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang also appealed to the imperial court, and Chen said that Sichuan salt and Huai salt had been affected, and demanded that Hunan and Hubei provinces ban Guangdong private salt and only use Sichuan salt or Huai salt. ”

Yuan Shuxun rolled his eyes, waved his hand without looking, and said, "The headquarters doesn't want to take care of it, and it can't be managed." Since they are playing to the court, it is up to the court to decide. ”

"The imperial court doesn't want to make a decision explicitly before passing it on to your lordship." The staff said with a wry smile: "Most of the funds for the formation and training of the new army come from the salt administration, if it is stopped or changed, Chen Wenqiang only needs to stop the salary, and the military chaos can really be worried." ”

"Hmph, I want this evil thing to be done by the main department, and the main department will not do it!" Yuan Shuxun snorted, stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

The staff waited for a while, and when they saw that Yuan Shuxun still didn't speak, they said tentatively: "My lord, it's better to let Chen Wenqiang argue, after all, it was he who caused the trouble." ”

Yuan Shuxun blinked his eyes and sighed, "This guy, who are you afraid of, I guess I don't have any good words." Okay, just let him go to the top, and the headquarters doesn't care! ”
