Chapter 254: Passing through Yokohama
readx;
Since it takes time to repair the battleship and replace the boiler and gun, Lin Haijiang is not in a hurry to set off for a while, and now the overall situation of the Chinese Empire and the Qing court is almost equal to the pattern of dividing the river and ruling the country, except for the Qing army in Jinan, Xi'an, and Zhengzhou, there is still some troops in the rest of the place, and the rest of the place has almost formed a power vacuum, so that the bandits are rampant, so that the people in these power vacuum areas are almost miserable, according to this situation, Lin Haijiang decided to send a small force to the bandit forces as the target to carry out a 100,000-day all-army training activity, It is planned to dispatch a total of more than 10,000 companies in 100 days to infiltrate and clean up the operation!
Later, Lin Haijiang arranged the actual assessment of the Marine Corps and the actual assessment of the military police and special forces in this area, and Lin Haijiang has never been soft on bandits and underworld forces that disrupt social order, because in Lin Haijiang's view, if it is not an essential problem, he always thinks about leisure and hard work, there is no official coercion and civil rebellion in the power vacuum area here, because a large number of normal people have crossed the river and come to the Guangfu District to start a new life, and most of the rest are gangsters who want to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune and be idle!
What are the specific plans of the Qing court, Lin Haijiang has no desire to know, but the Russians dare to send 300,000 troops to Heilongjiang after the 200,000 armaments are completely annihilated, it is really a lot of courage, the Qing court must have miscalculated in this matter, the Russians' target is not their own Chinese Empire, but the soft underbelly of the Qing court, Heilongjiang, the Russians are not fools, Nikolai is not an idiot, can destroy his 200,000 elite soldiers, and naturally let his 300,000 temporary patchwork of miscellaneous fish be wiped out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Eliminating the 300,000 temporarily patched together Russia may not be a big problem for Lin Haijiang, but for the Qing Dynasty that lost its troops and lost its Beiyang, it is a boulder pressed on the chest, the Russians really can't afford to provoke it, Lin Haijiang can stop the attack in time, and now the Qing court doesn't know where to find the ancestors or the Bodhisattva is still willing to go!
Lin Haijiang didn't think that the Qing court and the Russians could still set off any storms, after all, his seven first-line imperial regiments were ready to fight north of the Yangtze River, and Lin Haijiang wanted to set up the defense line south of the Yangtze River and use the advantages of his inland gunboat fleet to consolidate the defense, but the Qing court's rapid retreat and the emergence of a vacuum zone made Lin Haijiang change his previous idea and set the entire defense line north of the Yangtze River with the gunboat corps as a support unit, which was also conducive to the strategic offensive in the future.
For Lin Haijiang, there are three most unforgivable things in the world, the first is to add ice cubes to the wine, and the second is not satisfied with the peaceful life without thinking about it before doing things!
For the empire, Lin Haijiang's visit to Wang Faren also added to the list of visits, for this, it can be said that it was beyond everyone's expectations, the imperial intelligence headquarters is now a huge machine that can operate normally, this machine analyzes and sorts out every day, summarizes a large amount of information and provides it to the General Staff and other relevant departments, as the ultimate basis for the empire to make strategic decisions, Wang Faren as the head of the intelligence headquarters can be said to have made indispensable contributions, However, the surname of the intelligence headquarters slowly deteriorated with the expansion of its power, and became an existence similar to the German Gestapo in World War II, which changed the color of the internal talk of the empire.
Therefore, Lin Haijiang deliberately took Wang Faren on a visit this time, so that the heads of the bureaus under him had an idea that they should not have before, just like the emperor or being a leader, no one wants their subordinates to be monolithic, and their subordinates are loyal to themselves, but the relationship between the subordinates is the same as water and fire, which is the supreme state of leadership.
On December 6, 1862, at the port of Guangzhou, Lin Haijiang personally led 17 large fleets with an average tonnage of 6,200 tons, including the battleships Zhenyuan, Dingyuan and Yanjing.
Lin Haijiang, who was standing on the bridge of the Zhenyuan, looked at the crowds of people on the dock, and then looked at the huge visiting fleet, it seemed that all the previous efforts and sacrifices were all worth it, and after several years of exhaustive military force, he finally built the world's largest quasi-modern naval ironclad fleet, Lin Haijiang knew that he could not maintain this honor, but he was also very unwilling, after all, he was the first person, and he was used to saying the previous sentence and suddenly wanted to say the next sentence, which seemed to make people feel very depressed and unacceptable. However, the national strength of the Chinese Empire could not compete with that of an old empire like Britain and France, and even a defeated France could easily come up with an indemnity of five billion francs, which is indeed appalling.
Lin Haijiang naturally knows why Britain and France and other powers are strong, and he also knows why the old powers such as the Netherlands and Spain are declining, everything is because of the colonies in Africa, with the large-scale blood transfusion of overseas colonies, the British and French can quickly recover their damaged combat strength, but the Chinese Empire cannot, the massacres and ethnic hatred caused by the chaos in the Indochina Peninsula have intensified, but it is impossible to see results without at least ten years of immigration and development when the Chinese Empire sends troops to clean up and develop. After all, the immigrants in Indochina were different from the Anglo-French, African colonies that allowed them to plunder at will.
Now Lin Haijiang's desire for overseas colonies is stronger than ever, and now the Americans have fallen into a large-scale civil war, and the warring sides have done their best to buy all kinds of new weapons, so that the United States has become a test ground for new weapons in the world, this time the south in the Chinese Empire to buy dozens of large-tonnage river gunboats is to fight against the north before the purchase of fifteen gunboats from the Chinese Empire, although the envoys of the north and the south have secretly protested to Lin Haijiang, but European countries except Britain is secretly supporting the north, The rest of the countries are strictly abiding by the non-belligerent treaty, but the Chinese Empire is not a party to the non-belligerent treaty, so Lin Haijiang can sell arms without any scruples and make the whole of Europe blush.
Lin Haijiang seems to think of the overseas colonies only the civil war is not stopped, but Lin Haijiang's positioning of the book is Penglai Province, when the Qin Emperor sent people overseas to find Penglai Xianshan, as a result, five hundred boys and girls were stranded on a desert island, so there was a later generation of the book said, Lin Haijiang also knew that this was nonsense, after all, the Qin and Han dynasties belonged to the history of the dynasties, there was no way to verify, but this legend gave Lin Haijiang theoretical support.
Lin Haijiang had already renamed Yueben and Dongyi as Penglai Islands in all the schools before, clearly pointing out that the so-called Yue himself was actually a descendant of China's pre-Qin Dynasty, etc., what is history doing in Lin Haijiang's eyes? It is to be distorted and serve one's own political goals, and later generations said that he had the second largest naval tonnage in the world, so he dared to provoke the United States, which was the first in comprehensive strength.
Only those who have strength can distort history to serve themselves, and if they do not have strength, they can distort history to find a draw! Now Lin Haijiang can be said to be very powerful, so he can make up the book without any scruples, as for how the empire will obtain overseas colonies, Lin Haijiang does not have a mature idea yet.
Because in Lin Haijiang's inherent consciousness, it is difficult for overseas colonies to resist the trend of the world after all, and the reading power still has to be read by the family, even if the control is to consume national resources and money, and in many cases it is synonymous with more than worth the loss, and the final result of the British colonization of India is still to end with India's reading power.
How did Lin Haijiang's so-called colonization eliminate its territory and the so-called native culture, the best thing is to engage in the extinction of his own race, after all, it is only 1862, the world's recognition of colonization and world values are different from later generations, and the massacre of African barbarians in the civilized world is regarded as an honor similar to hunting! Barbarians do not deserve to enjoy wealth, their wealth must serve the civilized world, so Lin Haijiang can safely carry out immigration encouragement policies throughout Southeast Asia, and when the proportion of aborigines in Indochina drops to less than five percent of the original, Lin Haijiang will send troops to carry out a law and order sweep, and then divide the area to plant rubber and other cash crops and rice, carry out a large number of immigrants, and the imperial political axe will issue immigrants land qualification use certificates to encourage immigrants.
What overseas colonies are Lin Haijiang? Only when the land is completely turned into China, and more than 75 percent of the total population there becomes Chinese, is it called successful immigration, and simple predatory economic aggression and oppressive colonization can no longer meet Lin Haijiang's requirements, and Lin Haijiang finds that he even surpasses the incomparably greedy Russians in his thirst for land?
Before the Chinese Empire had not yet penetrated into Yokohama, Yokohama was just a small fishing village on the shore of Tokyo Bay, and in 1859, under the pressure of European powers, Yokohama became a free trade port, with Tokyo Bay to the east, Yokosuka and other cities to the south, and Kawasaki to the north! The geographical location is very important, and there is a natural deep-water marina.
In 1854, the representative of the United States, Hayashi Kuniko, signed a treaty of peace with the United States, and in 1858, the U.S. Consul General Harris concluded the treaty of reconciliation between the United States, and then with the Netherlands, Russia, the United Kingdom, and France, Yokohama was scheduled to open on July 1, 1859, but after the end of the Great War in 1860, with the support of the Chinese Empire, the shogunate had abolished all the trade treaties, and everything was based on the customs treaty of the Chinese Empire.
The shogunate set up a place to live here, and the south was a foreigner's residential area, and the northern part was a personal residential area. It is said that the area where he lived was divided into five districts, named Yokohama Town, and each area was divided into a name, and the elders ruled the whole town.
