Chapter Seventy-Four: Sun Ge
A large amount of military and political information was gathered in Luliang through the Investigation Bureau, and after reviewing and giving instructions one by one, it was distributed to the responsible persons of various departments. More than a year has passed, and Lu Liang still maintains his enthusiasm, but physical exhaustion inevitably appears. Although the specific implementation is handed over to the loyal genetic people, documents need to be approved, orders need to be signed, factories and troops need to be inspected, political parties, administration, propaganda, culture, agriculture and other aspects need to devote a lot of energy, and even municipal construction itself has to dictate. Many of his dissatisfaction in the future generations have to be changed through the present, and some very small things have to be recorded by the assistant when they are occasionally remembered, and fed back to the department. For example, urban planning, bridge height, underground pipe network, etc. in municipal construction, you can't cross it once, and you have to face the helplessness of urban water accumulation, ships on rivers blocked by bridges, etc.!
Fortunately, most of the people in charge are genetic people, and the people who deal directly with Lu Liang are also genetic people, otherwise they would have to be annoyed to death by him. Facing rigid genetic people all day long, and the data in his head is full of data, even the pleasing female genetic people such as Lu Min can't make Lu Liang feel relaxed. After consulting Wu Yue, Lu Liang transferred her to his side as the life secretary of the Prime Minister's Office Secretariat. Wu Yue is not happy about this, but she is not resistant, as the deputy of the education department, she has been tired but fulfilled for more than a year, and she likes this job from the bottom of her heart, and tens of thousands of girls have enjoyed the right to education. As she was ambitiously formulating her 1902 education plan, Lü Liang's words made her realize that her mission was to become Lü Liang's wife, and that the job of life secretary could facilitate this process. When he thought that he would leave his career forever and return to the traditional road of husband and child, Lu Liang keenly felt Wu Yue's low mood, of course he didn't mean that, the life secretary was just a temporary job for the two to cultivate their relationship, and it was also a good way to relieve Lu Liang's stiff brain.
The Provisional Government did not attach much importance to the actions of the imperial court, except for the strengthening of armaments, and its focus was still on internal integration. Guangdong is the foundation of the Party for the revitalization of the country, and through construction in all aspects, Guangdong will become the most solid foundation and a firm backing for the revolution to be pushed to the whole country in the future.
In January 1902, when the anti-bandit campaign in the province reached its peak, the news of the arrival of Sun Ge and others in Guangzhou also reached Luliang. Regarding the revolutionary forces represented by Sun Ge, Lu Liang has always been very entangled in his heart. The rich historical news from later generations let Lu Liang know that many of Sun Ge's shortcomings can even be said to be shameful, whether it is character or others, but he has to face up to this force.
"Welcome home, sir! If you're tired from the journey, let's go and take a rest first. Zheng Shiliang has been staying in Guangzhou, and in the past, he still needed to hide in Tibet in the face of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but after the Zhenguo Party gained power, he was able to come out and act openly. After receiving the news of Sun Ge's departure, Zheng Shiliang went to Guangzhou Port to meet Sun Ge and his party according to the date.
Seeing that the ice on Sun Ge's face after Zheng Shiliang finally melted a little, Sun Ge had a gloomy face along the way, and Chen Shaobai and others didn't dare to say more, in fact, they knew in their hearts that the first righteousness of the revolution was actually obtained by an unknown landlord, which was very unfavorable to the future development of the Xingzhong Society.
"Shiliang, I've worked hard for you, has Lu Liang been unfavorable to you during this time?" After Sun Ge got off the boat, he asked while looking at the novelty around him, and the other people accompanying him were also full of interest in the surrounding scene.
Zheng Shiliang said at the right time: "The Zhenguo Party is friendly to us, and Lu Liang once sent someone to say that if Mr. arrives in Guangzhou, he can go to the Prime Minister's Office for a while. Speaking of this, seeing that everyone's eyes were still elsewhere, Zheng Shiliang had no choice but to explain to everyone: "Many actions of the Zhenguo Party are incomprehensible, they have money, food, and troops, but after occupying Guangdong, they have not moved for nearly half a year, but they have stationed heavy troops in various passes, and they seem to be satisfied with the small territory of Guangdong. On the contrary, they spent a lot of energy on factories, railways and highways, water conservancy projects, urban reconstruction, and the suppression of bandits and farming, but their efforts were not without results, and great changes took place in Guangdong in a short period of time. Sir, look at the trucks and construction sites, it is the second phase of the Guangzhou Port project under construction, which is the name of the provisional government. Also, Mr.'s hometown of Xiangshan heard that there is also a gray road, a lot of factories have been built, and the railway line is also being extended there. ”
"Lu Liang learned from Gaozu!" Chen Shaobai opened his mouth, and several people walked and talked, and boarded the bus into the downtown area of Guangzhou. Shaobai's words made Sun Ge, who had a better face, fall into contemplation again, the ambition of the Zhenguo Party will never stop in Guangdong, such a spectacular construction scene, a fleet of vehicles that cannot be seen at a glance, and a smooth and smooth gray road, even in Japan and Honolulu, can not be seen, and trucks are unheard of! The Zhenguo Party is unfathomable, and Lu Liang is by no means as simple as a rich man!
Before he came, Sun Ge had the idea of cooperating with Lu Liang, but after he really arrived in Guangzhou, he suddenly found that he had nothing to show for it, perhaps this time he came back a little abruptly, he should continue to integrate various revolutionary organizations overseas, develop branches in the hinterland, and expand the civil base of the Xingzhong Society, and there would be no substantial progress in meeting with Lu Liang. Sun Ge is no longer stunned, and the revolution is also in order, so he must make long-term plans for the future. He is not a man like Washington, and after the republic, he must have his own place, and that position needs to be fought for now. In order to achieve his goal, he could ignore the financial support provided by Japan, which had caused great harm to the country, and even sign a secret agreement, and he had convinced himself and others that everything was for the republic, everything for the revolution!
"Sir, stay here tonight." Sun Ge nodded, smiling and expressing satisfaction. This is an old-style hotel, of course, not as good as the newly built high-end hotels and guesthouses on the roadside, but unfortunately there is a lack of funds that can be used by the Xingzhong Association, and Zheng Shiliang can only choose such a one.
After a simple meal, a wash, and a send-off of everyone, Sun Ge asked his bodyguard Wu San to guard the door, leaving only Chen Shaobai alone in the room. Sun Ge wiped and wiped the stool with a handkerchief, and then sat down, Chen Shaobai smiled helplessly in his heart, this chairman is actually very dissatisfied with this hotel, and he is also self-inflicted, who let him embezzle funds to buy real estate in Japan! Speaking of which, the mother and daughter in Japan haven't seen each other for a long time.
"Shaobai, the Zhenguo Party is making waves in Guangdong, the power is monstrous, I am afraid that this time I will come back in vain, our focus is still on overseas, the funds are too small, and the source of funds must be expanded. Compared to the Zhenguo Party, we are too shabby. Chen Shaobai has followed him for many years, and he has no scruples about saying many things to him.
Chen Shaobai knew Sun Ge very well, and he saw that Lu Liang's career was unbalanced. This gentleman has a firm ambition to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and establish a republic, and he also has great talents, but sometimes he is a little angry.
"Sir, the Lu Liang family has a big business, and we may not be able to look down on our Xingzhonghui, but after all, we have the same goal. We can state difficulties to him, as a comrade, this rich man will not leave it alone, it can be money, it can be weapons and ammunition, in short, we cannot go home empty-handed! Chen Shaobai figured out Sun Ge's thoughts, Sun Ge couldn't help nodding after hearing this, since cooperating with the Japanese government and the Chinese gang, Sun Ge's face has obviously thickened a lot, and it is not much shameful to turn into a relationship with the Zhenguo Party.
Lu Liang had not yet attached importance to Sun Ge's Xingzhong Society to the extent of kneeling down and begging him to join, and the Zhenguo Party was self-contained, with genetic people as the framework and pillar, the army as the guarantee, and the support of the emerging bourgeoisie and the broad masses of beneficiaries, Sun Ge and others were actually in a dispensable position. The main reason for inviting them is to respect the revolutionaries of this era, if they still don't know the current affairs and make trouble, Lu Liang doesn't mind abandoning his cooperation with them, and now his focus is still on his own strength.
Due to the lack of natural conditions in Huizhou Port, a larger-scale shipyard was selected in Zhanjiang Port. Although the demand for shipping in Guangdong is not very large, which is mainly due to the blockade of Guangdong's products by the Qing court, most of which are digested internally, but in the foreseeable near future, Guangdong's main mode of transportation will be shipping, as well as military use, so it is necessary to vigorously expand the scale of ports and shipyards now. In addition to Zhanjiang, the construction of the port of Shantou has also begun, and together with the ports of Huizhou and Guangzhou, Guangdong will be the main mode of transport before the railway is extended to other provinces.
Zhanjiang Shipyard, according to the plan, will be civilian ships as the main products. The first phase of the project has been completed with five slipways and four sea vessels under construction. Although the skills and proficiency of the workers were scarce, the construction time of a ship was expected to be three months, and then further reduced to the level of the United States in World War II.
The construction of military ships is still located in the Huizhou shipyard, which is closely connected to the steel base, with the highest secrecy, and the distance from the Huizhou heavy industry base is close and convenient for transportation. Lu Liang is inspecting here, and since October last year, the shipyard has launched three Guangzhou-class destroyers to complete sea trials, and in January this year, the second Nanhai-class cruiser, the Donghai, also sailed out of the dock of the steel base and is undergoing sea trials.
