Chapter 120

Time slowly entered May, during this period, the land of China is still surging, the anti-Qing forces in various places are developing rapidly, on the surface, the edifice of the Qing Kingdom is still standing. However, in this calm undercurrent, the end of the Great Qing Kingdom is gradually approaching.

In April, the League staged another uprising in Guangzhou, this time known as the Huanghuagang Uprising. The uprising was organized and planned by Huang Xing, Hu Hanmin and others after nearly half a year. Originally, the momentum was quite huge, but in the process of the uprising, due to personnel organization and management and various accidents, the uprising was not very smooth, and even in the end, it failed miserably as always.

After the Huanghuagang uprising, the congregation of the League was hit again, and for a long time, it could only slowly recover.

The failure of the Huanghuagang Uprising also had an impact on Zhang Bailin in Guizhou, and their actions were more secretive, and the speed of development became faster and faster.

In such a solemn and urgent atmosphere, in Yanjing, far away from Guizhou, on 8 May, the first cabinet of the central authorities was also reorganized from the Military Aircraft Department, and the cabinet members were basically half of the royal members. As soon as the cabinet list was announced, it sparked a great protest and was ridiculed as the imperial cabinet.

In the midst of this protest, the regent Zaifeng and others ignored it, and instead formulated a proposal to accelerate the collapse of the Qingguo Building, "Nationalization of the Railway", in the first cabinet meeting that followed.

As soon as this proposal was announced, it triggered protests from private capital.

The reason is that the railway at this time originally belonged to the commercial office, not to the political axe department. The construction was carried out by raising funds from the private sector, and the railway bureaus in various localities also used various methods to extract hard-earned money from the vast number of peasant households in order to build the railway, and the vast number of interested shareholders were peasants. However, the lack of technology to build railways in this period and the fact that such a large amount of money was managed by the Chinese themselves, this problem was great.

Originally, the budget of the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway needed more than 70 million yuan, but only more than 10 million yuan was raised in half a year, and then, before the construction of the railway began, the more than 10 million yuan raised by the railway evaporated several million.

The number of bad debts and confused accounts cannot be counted, and the more than 10,000 kilometers of railways that were originally planned to be built were only built by foreigners and foreign capital. The rest of the remaining railways, built by the Chinese themselves, were built less than a kilometer.

And the construction of this kilometer of railway cost tens of millions of silver dollars.

It can be said that the Qing government axe saw clearly the problem of the Chinese people building the railway themselves, and during this period, only foreigners could repair the railway, and it was basically impossible for the Chinese people to succeed. Although it may seem a bit of a betrayal and insult to nationalize the construction of railways and then borrow money from foreign capital to build railways, the benefits of the construction of railways by the Chinese will definitely be at most.

Moreover, in the later generations, the country owes money to foreign countries, and that is still called ability, the United States is so powerful, doesn't he also owe money to the whole world? So it's not a bad thing that the Qing government axe has some fiscal deficits.

But the bad thing is that in the understanding of the Chinese during this period, they felt that handing over the railway to foreigners again was an insult, and they would rather die than hand it over. Therefore, within a week after the proposal for the "nationalization of railways" came out, a rally of 10,000 people broke out in Changsha, Hunan Province, to protest against the nationalization of railways.

Next, all parts of the country responded to it to a greater or lesser extent.

Naturally, there were those for and against this proposal. In favor, Guizhou counts as one. Because Guizhou during this period did not have a railway at all, opposition and favor had little impact on Guizhou. But Sichuan, a neighboring province of Guizhou, is different, and under the propaganda and agitation of the elder associations such as the elder brothers, plus the alliance, the masses are indignant.

Compared with the various protests in China at this time, Guizhou and Pingyue are much quieter and more abnormal. When the news of the nationalization of the railways came, Chen Liqing was still in the fields inspecting the cultivation of fish and rice in the rice fields.

In May, but during the rice planting season, other provinces made trouble, the railways were nationalized, and there was no half-dime relationship between the people of Pingyue and Vietnam, so they concentrated on planting rice in this busy farming season.

"Liqing, there you have it, the thing you predicted is out!" When Chen Liqing was watching the organized and large-scale rice planting of the production team, Chen Liqing suddenly heard a voice on the ridge.

Turning his head, Chen Liqing saw his second brother Chen Liqun coming over waving a newspaper in his hand.

"What's there?" During this season, Chen Liqing concentrated on guiding the agricultural planting plan, which was related to the grain output in the second half of the year, so he forgot the time, and when Chen Liqun came over, Chen Liqing was still a little puzzled.

"That's it, the policy you said about hastening the end of the Qing court has come out, and the nationalization of the railways has come out!" Chen Liqun hurriedly opened the newspaper in his hand: "You see, the Southwest People's Daily published the news in Suyuan. "

"The people of Hunan have risen up to resist!"

Chen Liqun's face turned red, and then he looked at his little brother's expression as if he was looking at a fairy, as early as a month ago, Chen Liqing asked Chen Liqun to pay attention to the news in this regard, and predicted the first proposal of the Qing court after the formation of the cabinet in front of Chen Liqun.

Unexpectedly, when the time came, these developments turned out to be similar to what the younger brother expected.

"Nationalization of railways, really came out!" Chen Liqing ignored Chen Liqun's excitement, looking at the news in the newspaper, he suddenly rushed over and quickly flipped through it.

While watching, Chen Liqing's small fists clenched.

It's done!

Time and space remain the same!

Chen Liqing's hanging heart, when he saw the news, he was relieved to fall into his stomach.

At first, he was a little worried that the things he made in Pingyue and Shanghai would hinder the wheel of history and affect development. But history is always history, and it cannot be changed. As soon as the proposal for the nationalization of the railways came out, it really foreshadowed the end of the Qing political axe.

This proposal is simply the fuse of change in the country.

Having embarked on this road, the Qing Zheng axe can be said to have entered the grave with half a foot.

Chen Liqing ignored the rice planting in the field and the planting of rice field fish, and after getting the news, he immediately arranged other things.

Three days later, the Chen family.

Huo Yuanjia was called over by Chen Liqing from Weng'an.

"Master Huo." In the room, Chen Liqing looked at Huo Yuanjia and said, "Call you over this time, I have a task to hand over to you." "

Since Huo Yuanjia escorted guns and ammunition for Chen Liqing and them at the end of last year, Chen Liqing has temporarily stayed in Guizhou and Pingyue.

In the past few months, Huo Yuanjia has been busy opening a Jingwu school in Weng'an, with the help of Chen Liqing and their uncle's family. This school specializes in recruiting disciples to learn martial arts. After eating Zhu Guo, Huo Yuanjia at this moment is completely a martial arts master, and it is most suitable for him to open a martial arts hall and train special forces for Chen Liqing and them.

Huo Yuanjia knew Chen Liqing's identity, knew that Chen Liqing was a disciple of Mrs. Zhang, and since he ate Zhu Guo, Huo Yuanjia knew his life, and Chen Liqing saved him. That's why he willingly came to Guizhou to help Chen Liqing.

"Say, Liqing, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not shirk it!" Huo Yuanjia didn't brow, and waved his hand directly in agreement.

After getting on Chen Liqing's thief ship, Huo Yuanjia also knew what they were going to do, anti-Qing, he was also a hot-blooded man, and he had long seen that the country was uncomfortable.

"Master Huo can definitely do it, I believe Master Huo also knows about the nationalization of the railway carried out by the Qing court this time, and the people of Sichuan reacted very enthusiastically. So, this time, I hope that Master Huo can bring some people to Sichuan to help Brother Yu and Brother Huang. "

"To Sichuan?" Huo Yuanjia was a little surprised.

"Yes, Sichuan, Brother Yu and Brother Huang have good mobility, but sometimes they are too disregardful of their bodies. So I think Master Huo, you can go and protect them. Chen Liqing said.

When he left Shanghai in January, Chen Liqing had already arranged for Yu Peilun and Huang Fusheng to go to Sichuan in advance to wait for the road protection movement brewed by the nationalization of the railways. Now, this matter has started as scheduled, in order to prevent any accidents from happening, Chen Liqing sent Huo Yuanjia, a master, over with no worries.

Originally, according to the fate of history, Yu Peilun would have become a martyr of Huanghuagang in the previous Guangzhou uprising, but due to Chen Liqing's thousands of instructions, Yu Peilun did not participate in this uprising. So he managed to escape his mortal fate.

Now, they are secretly organizing the Confederacy and the Elders to carry out secret riots, and who knows what will happen in the course of these violent movements. In order to ensure that the road protection movement can flourish, Chen Liqing has to be cautious.

It was because of this road protection movement that the new army in Hubei would go to Sichuan to help, and because of the transfer of the new army, the Wuchang uprising would be successfully successful. Therefore, this road protection campaign is of great importance. It is a good opportunity to kill the Qing political axe with one blow, and there must be no accidents.

After explaining various precautions to Huo Yuanjia, Huo Yuanjia counted out the twenty members of the Jingwu Society, plus Chen Liqing's ten personal soldiers, and after two days of preparation, they went to Sichuan in a mighty way.
