496 Rescue Zhan Tianyou
Lin Fei said with a smile: "Since this divisive plan was thought of by you, then you can tell me, what is the specific method of division?" β
Xiyun pouted, "This strategy is too vicious, I can't bear to continue to think of a way." β
"Okay, you can go back first, I'll figure it out for myself." Xiyun is still too kind.
"But...... However, I can remind my husband that he can start from the Jinlu Railway. On the one hand, Xiyun couldn't bear to come up with a vicious strategy, and on the other hand, he wanted to help Lin Fei, and under the contradiction, he said this sentence in a hurry.
The Tianjin-Luzhou Railway starts from Tianjin and ends at the Lugou Bridge in the southwest of Beijing, which is the main road connecting Beijing and Tianjin, and was completed in 1897, when it has begun to operate.
Lin Fei was stunned for a moment and asked, "How to start with this railway?" β
Xiyun hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, I can't say it anymore, if I say more, I will be punished, but I can remind my husband that the person who presided over the construction of the Jinlu Railway is Zhan Tianyou, and this railway provides great convenience for your husband to attack Beijing." β
Lin Fei's eyes lit up instantly, "Okay, I understand, your method is too ingenious." β
Lin Fei said and asked Xiyun to go back, and then asked someone to find Zhao Zhenhua, and said to Zhao Zhenhua: "You go back to Beijing immediately now, and write a letter of thanks to Zhan Tianyou, saying that he presided over the construction of the Jinlu Railway, which provided great convenience for me to attack Beijing and capture Guangxu Xiao'er and Cixi's wife alive. β
Zhao Zhenhua frowned, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, this is a divisive strategy, this will make Zhan Tianyou's wife separated and his family ruined, Zhan Tianyou will definitely not be loyal to our Huaxia." β
Lin Fei shook his head and smiled: "What you said is too naΓ―ve, don't let Zhan Tianyou think that I asked people to write this letter, but let people feel that it was written by Zhan Tianyou's enemies, Zhan Tianyou is a person who is upright and upright, and he never colludes with the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the Qing court, and there must be countless enemies in the court." β
Zhao Zhenhua nodded, "I understand." β
Zhao Zhenhua immediately returned to Beijing, made such a letter of thanks in Beijing, and hyped it up, Zhan Tianyou's enemies saw the letter, and immediately reported it to the Imperial Historian of the Imperial Procuratorate, the duty of the Imperial Historian is to supervise the mistakes of hundreds of officials, they saw such a letter, and immediately presented it to Emperor Guangxu.
Emperor Guangxu was furious after reading the recital, it turned out that the construction of the Jinlu Railway was instructed by Lin Fei behind his back, and the purpose was to facilitate Lin Fei to take down Beijing, which was worth it!
Emperor Guangxu immediately issued an order, all the officials involved in the construction of the Jinlu Railway were dismissed and investigated, including even the Qing court officials who supervised the construction of the Jinlu Railway by name, Yin Hu Liao of Shuntian Prefecture, and a large number of technicians who built the railway, Zhan Tianyou, as the chief engineer, and the object of thanks in Lin Fei's letter of thanks, so he naturally wanted to be arrested.
More than a dozen arresters from the criminal department came to Zhan Tianyou's home with rattling shackles and bloodstained flails, Zhan Tianyou's daughter and son were frightened and cried on the spot, Zhan Tianyou's wife Tan Juzhen was born in a scholarly family, and she had the charm of a lady.
When the criminal department arrested the female prisoner, he deliberately touched his buttocks and grabbed her breasts, patted her face and pinched her feet, Zhan Tianyou's wife was born beautiful, and she was even more humiliated, Zhan Tianyou watched his wife being lightly humiliated, but he couldn't save it, he was so angry that his eyes were torn apart, and his pupils were filled with blood!
At this moment, suddenly there was a messy footstep outside the door, only to see more than a dozen masked black-clothed people broke in, those black-clothed people each held sharp knives, rushed into the courtyard without saying a word, rushed to the criminal department to arrest and cut quickly, the criminal department was quickly cut down seven or eight, and the others were so frightened that they cried and shouted for their mother, and ran over the wall.
Zhan Tianyou was stunned by the scene in front of him, he looked at the people in black in a daze, at a loss, at this time, the leader of the man in black walked a few steps to Zhan Tianyou, took Zhan Tianyou's hand, and said: "We are the subordinates of the Flying Emperor, knowing that the Qing court intends to harm Mr., we are here to rescue, Mr. Tianyou, the Qing soldiers of the brigade are coming in an instant, come with us." β
Zhan Tianyou shook off the hand of the man in black and said sadly: "I, Zhan Tianyou, am loyal to the saint, heaven and earth can be learned, I will not leave!" β
The man in black gestured to Zhan Tianyou's wife with his eyes, only to see her kneeling on the ground, her shirt was torn, her breasts were half covered, her fragrant shoulders were exposed, and tears were raining. β
Zhan Tianyou's face changed drastically, and the man in black pointed at Zhan Tianyou's daughter and two sons again, they were crying around their mother, and the man in black said: "Mr. Zhan Tianyou, you are a rebel, your daughter will inevitably be sold into prostitution, and your son may be castrated and enter the palace as a eunuch, can you bear it?" β
Zhan Tianyou's face was embarrassed, and at this time, two men in black went over to help Zhan Tianyou's wife up and brought him to Zhan Tianyou's side, Zhan Tianyou's wife cried and said: "Husband, save the slave family and the child...... The three children also kept shouting "Daddy save us".
Zhan Tianyou looked at his wife and child, and stomped his feet fiercely, "Let's go, let's go to Huaxia." β
The man in black came out of the courtyard with everyone and wanted to get out of the city, but found that at this time, the whole city of Beijing was under martial law and searched for Zhan Tianyou's family, and the man in black had to hide Zhan Tianyou's family in the Chinese Embassy.
The news leaked out, and thousands of Qing soldiers instantly surrounded the Huaxia Embassy, these Qing soldiers were all new troops trained by Yuan Shikai, and their combat effectiveness was not weak.
The embassy garrison immediately entered the highest state of combat readiness and entered the defensive position of the courtyard wall, and the two armies were tense for a while!
Although the Qing soldiers knew that Zhan Tianyou was hiding in the Huaxia Embassy, they didn't dare to attack, at this time Tianjin's Dagukou Fort was still in Lin Fei's hands, although Lin Fei withdrew his troops from Tianjin, but still left a regiment of troops to garrison the Dagukou Fort, and the dead face just didn't withdraw, what can your Qing court do to me?
Since the Dagukou Fort is in Lin Fei's hands, Lin Fei can attack whenever he wants, Tianjin without the Dagukou Fort is an infantry without armor, a cavalry without war horses, and only a share of being slaughtered.
How dare the Qing court provoke Huaxia and provoke Lin Fei?
The Qing court could only send Tang Jingsong, who had a deep personal relationship with Liu Yongfu, to persuade Liu Yongfu to hand over Zhan Tianyou's family, but sending Zhan Tianyou's family to Huaxia was Lin Fei's personal order, how could Liu Yongfu hand them over?
The two sides confronted each other in the embassy for three days, Britain, France, Germany and Russia intervened one after another, Germany and Russia protested against the Qing country's encirclement of the Chinese embassy, Britain and France actually sided with China this time, protesting against the Qing government's move, they knew very well that if they did not support Huaxia in this matter, then one day in the future, the Qing country may also besiege their embassy.
The Qing government was very soft in front of the foreigners, and when it saw that all the countries came to protest, it immediately ordered Yuan Shikai to withdraw the siege of the Huaxia embassy, and Liu Yongfu sent Zhan Tianyou's family to Huaxia.
Zhan Tianyou's father and mother, father and mother's brothers and sisters, and the children of brothers and sisters were all killed, and as many as 178 people died, resulting in the extremely famous "Jinlu Railway Case" in the history of the late Qing Dynasty, which was listed as one of the "Seven Major Cases of the Late Qing Dynasty" by later historians.
In the official history compiled by Lin Fei, the letter of thanks that caused a qiΔ was written by Lin Fei as "written by Zhan Tianyou's enemy", and the culprit was said by Lin Fei to be "a corrupt and incompetent Qing government", and none of the three people who knew the truth of history, Lin Fei, Xiyun, and Zhao Zhenhua, told the truth, and this matter, like many things, was drowned in the long river of history.
Lin Fei originally wanted to rescue Zhan Tianyou unconsciously, but he didn't expect to make such a big move and let the Qing government kill Zhan Tianyou's three clans, which made Lin Fei very guilty, but everyone is dead, and this guilt can only be made up for in Zhan Tianyou's body, Zhan Tianyou, who does not know the truth, hates the Qing court extremely much and swears allegiance to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei appointed Zhan Tianyou as the Minister of Railways of the Huaxia Empire and the President of Huaxia Railway University, teaching courses on railway construction.
After Zhan Tianyou's three clans were killed, the technicians and workers who participated in the construction of the Jinlu Railway with Zhan Tianyou were sentenced one after another, perhaps because they had killed too many people, the Qing court relented, none of these technicians were sentenced to death, they were all exiled to Ningguta, there were more than 200 of these people, Lin Fei decided to rescue all these people to Huaxia.
It is not difficult to rescue these people, as long as the escort official is given some silver, the messenger can release them, and then give some silver to the officials of Ningguta, and the receiver of Ningguta will not investigate in detail.
More than 200 technicians came to Huaxia, and Lin Fei immediately met them in person, and the technicians were all grateful when they saw that Emperor Fei actually met them in person.
Zhan Tianyou and his subordinate technicians, plus the railway technicians from Taiwan before, as well as the technicians trained during this time, the number of railway technicians in Huaxia has exceeded 1,000 people, coupled with the steady increase in the production of rail factories and locomotive factories, Lin Fei can finally build railways across the country.
On the islands of the Chinese Empire, Lin Fei planned to build a number of trunk railways and a large number of branch railways, and a railway network covering the whole country was in full swing.
Lin Fei originally wanted to build a railway in the Qing court to facilitate the transportation of ore, but after a little attempt, he found that it was too difficult to do so, because both officials and ordinary people regarded the railway as a flood beast, and they believed that building a railway was disrespectful to the land god and would cause great disasters.
Lin Fei had no choice but to give up the idea of building a railway in the Qing Dynasty and instead build a road.
When resources and talents were alleviated, an arms race in the South Seas quietly descended......
