Volume 2 Chapter 29 The Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition (18)
"Our army went north, and the supply of the manufacturing bureau's munitions production could not be cut off, so the brothers left a regiment down to supervise production." After Fang Jianxiong finished speaking, although Chen Qimei was still very angry, she could only accept it calmly.
It is not a trivial matter for the army to be pulled, and Chen Qimei has to continue to contribute. Chen Qimei sent troops to requisition all the wagons that could be found on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, and the equipment and personnel of the Anhui Army boarded the train in an orderly manner according to the plan and headed for Nanjing.
When the first train left the station, Chen Qimei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the Anhui army finally left. Shanghai Beach finally has the final say. The only regret is the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Fang Jianxiong will not let it, and Chen Qimei is helpless.
Although Fang Jianxiong wants money to die, he has a good reputation, and his words are counted, Chen Qimei feels that he is a person who does great things, and he can still endure this.
When the Anhui army was in the southeast, Hubei was facing a great predicament. After Yuan Shikai personally went to Xiaogan, Hubei to supervise the battle, Feng Guozhang led the army to storm Hankou, and the civilian army retreated into the city to fight street battles. The fire burned for three days and three nights, and Hankou fell.
The Hankou military government retreated, and the leaders Zhan Dabei, He Haiming and others had been at odds with Sun Wu for a long time, fearing that they would be harmed by him when they returned to Wuchang, so they went to Anqing to try to seek the support of Wuyanggu.
In addition, Hu Ying, during the fierce battle in Hankou, held a secret meeting, saying that Hankou was not defended, and he should seek another way. On the night of October 30, Song Xiquan, the first co-commander of Hubei Province who was guarding Hanyang, and Wang Xianzhang led his troops to evacuate Hanyang and headed towards Hunan. Li Yuanhong called Hunan. Kill Song Xiquan. The head was sent to Wuchang for public display. Wang Xianzhang was imprisoned, and was later released on bail by Jiang Yiwu and others.
These two things, to put it simply, are the contradictions between the society and the Communist Association, and they are a way of expressing themselves. Going deeper, it reflects that on the battlefield of Wuchang, the first revolutionary uprising, under the current situation of the great enemy, it is impossible to be unanimous from top to bottom, and it is still fighting inwardly.
After these two incidents, Li Yuanhong passed the hands of Sun Wu and further grasped the military and political power in Hubei.
The fire in Hankou aroused the indignation of the whole country. Li Jiaju, president of the Qing Capital Administration, said in the recital: "On the 13th (November 3), I received a telegram from a group in Southern Province. In Hankou and the surrounding areas, officials and soldiers wantonly killed women and children, and burned down the markets. More than ten miles of Mianheng, rape and plunder, everywhere. The people's hearts are angry, reaching the extreme. ”
On the one hand, the Qing government said that it would compensate the people for their losses, and on the other hand, it commended the meritorious personnel in the war. After the Battle of Hankow, the fighting in Wuhan was suspended.
There was another dispute within the Hubei military government, and the League and the society advocated that Huang Xing be the governor of Hubei and Hunan or the commander-in-chief of the Southern People's Army, so as to unify military power. The Communists, the Constitutionalists and the old officers were adamantly opposed, believing that a wartime commander-in-chief was sufficient. After the war, you, the commander-in-chief, will be automatically canceled, don't take yourself too seriously. The dispute between the two sides is fierce. Later, Song Jiaoren mediated and adopted the latter opinion. This should be seen as a victory for Li Yuanhong. On November 3, Li Yuanhong set up a platform to worship the generals, giving Huang Xing enough face, and "Commander-in-Chief Huang" took the stage. I really don't know where this Commander-in-Chief Huang got the self-confidence to command thousands of troops and horses to fight, and he probably thinks that he can do anything.
Although the Qing government in Hubei was happy to win the victory, it unexpectedly killed a Fang Jianxiong in the southeast, took Anqing, went down to Jiangning, and then swept the Shanghai-Nanjing line. The richest area ruled by the Qing government. It was all over the place in a few days.
The Qing government ordered Ni Sichong, the governor of Henan, to rush south, and Ni Sichong said that he was short of weapons and salary, and he wanted this and that, and he would not move his nest if he wanted this. In the end, it was Yuan Shikai who spoke, and Ni Sichong won the official title of Anhui Political Secretary. That's when he set out.
Ni Sichong led 5,000 people out of Zhoukou, Henan, and occupied Taihe County first. Later, he stormed Yingshang and killed more than 1,000 officers and soldiers in Huaishang. Then he occupied Fuyang and slaughtered more than 5,000 people, and his arrogance was extremely arrogant.
The process of resuming production in the manufacturing bureau is not so simple, and the workers of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau are skilled, but the way of working is more traditional and the production efficiency is low. The focus of Fang Jianxiong's work in Shanghai is to reorganize the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. The personnel transferred from Wuhu were stationed in the manufacturing bureau, and the Chinese personnel and technical leaders were Tian Sanjin.
This simple man, who was kicked out by the Manufacturing Bureau, took the initiative to sign up and ask to come back when he learned that someone from Shanghai was coming to rectify it.
Fang Jianxiong left other things to Zheng Quan and the others to do, and personally accompanied the personnel from Wuhu to have a meal. In the past two years in Wuhu, Tian Sanjin has made further progress in technology and management. In Wuhu, a set of relatively modern production management methods, Tian Sanjin basically mastered it.
Fang Jianxiong had an impression of him, so he shook hands with him in the crowd and said, "This is Master Tian Sanjin!" I remember that you went to Wuhu from Shanghai, and this time you also took the initiative to ask to come back? "Fang Jianxiong has done a lot of homework, these technical seedlings, don't change gold. In front of them, Fang Jianxiong had to be as hypocritical as he was to be cordial, in short, these people had to die hard.
It was the first time for Tian Sanjin to have such close contact with Fang Jianxiong, the big boss, and he was very excited and uneasy: "It was indeed from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau back then, and it was a little selfish to take the initiative to come back this time." ”
"Oh, what selfishness?" Fang Jianxiong asked with a smile, Tian Sanjin looked at his right hand uneasily, he shook hands with Commander Fang just now, and his palms were full of sweat.
"One is the old brother who is worried about the old time, thanks to the commander's blessing, now that life is better, I also want everyone to understand the truth that if you follow the commander, you can live a good life. The other one is to let the big guys see how I'm doing. Tian Sanjin is telling the truth, the so-called wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night. This is the most simple kind of human reaction.
Fang Jianxiong laughed, patted Tian Sanjin's shoulder and said, "If you let it go, how long will it take to complete the rectification and resume production?" ”
Tian Sanjin is really good, he was not nervous soon, and he pondered for a while: "There is a ten-day and eight-day line, everything is ready-made, and the key is to explain the number of roads in Wuhu to everyone." This is not difficult, I walked from house to house, and explained it one by one. When the time comes, we will call everyone together and discuss and discuss. ”
Fang Jianxiong was keenly aware that Tian Sanjin's method was a bit stupid, but the effect had to be the best. People in this year still eat this set. So he immediately said to the chief engineer Gio and Sting: "The technical transformation and production recovery of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau will be handed over to Tian Sanjin to be responsible, and your task is to formulate management methods." Tian Sanjin assumed the newly established position of production director, and he was fully responsible for the production of future affairs. ”
GiAusten said he had no opinion, but made an opinion: "What should be done with the original technicians?" ”
Fang Jianxiong said with a smile: "Don't move the basic framework, just change it according to the position in Wuhu." The original technical personnel, must be given enough treatment and low position, go a technical person, I will deduct your dividends at the end of the year. ”
"Oh, no, no!" Giosten shouted, he had a one-percent dry stock dividend in the arsenal.
Fang Jianxiong called Gios and Tian Sanjin to the office to drink tea and talk after dinner, and the main concern was how much production capacity can be achieved after the introduction of a batch of new equipment with the equipment, scale and personnel of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau?
GiAusten did not have the habit of firing empty cannons, saying that he did not understand the situation when he first arrived, and he needed to do some research. At this time, Tian Sanjin's role was reflected, and he replied without thinking: "What the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau lacks is a reasonable system, as long as the relationship is straightened out, the production capacity is not under the Wuhu Manufacturing Bureau." ”
Fang Jianxiong was taken aback by these words, this ordinary looking man could actually say such a truth. It seems that the previous judgment was correct, and this Tian Sanjin is not simple.
"What is the current production capacity of Wuhu Manufacturing Bureau?" Fang Jianxiong asked Ge Austen this time, and Comrade Chief Engineer immediately said: "The 7mm caliber modified K98 rifle is the focus of production, and after adopting the method of outsourcing secondary components, it has now reached the level of 6,000 units per month. Mortars of 82 and 60 calibers have a monthly output of 100 guns. The Bren machine gun produced 100 units per month, and the Maxim machine gun produced 50 units per month. The monthly output of point-tipped bullets is 10 million. The current dependence on imports of raw materials is not a long-term solution. When Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant can come up with qualified steel is the key, and with sufficient raw materials, it can be considered to imitate 75 guns and other equipment. ”
When it comes to the steel mill in Ma'anshan, Fang Jianxiong has a heart like an arrow. The preliminary project in Ma'anshan is basically ready, and the steelmaking equipment imported from the United States should be installed in the near future. This matter is being grasped by the Yankee George, and he doesn't know what he is doing, so he has not made a clear report. It is estimated that the war will also have an impact, although sufficient preparations have been made in advance, and the equipment and everything have been transported to Wuhu a few days in advance.
When Fang Jianxiong was a little distracted, Duan Feng came in to send three emergency telegrams.
The first was a telegram from Li Yuanhong, saying: Brother tens of thousands of heroes swept the southeast and shocked the Qing court, and Yuanhong sent this telegram to congratulate him. Hankou fell, Wuchang was difficult, and the reinforcements of the brother were like the clouds of hope for a long drought. If you go to Wuchang, you should be treated as the marshal of the revolutionary army!
The second telegram was from Dou Yijue. He said: The Hubei Military Government initiated the congress of the southern provinces, and it is appropriate to ask the commander to determine the candidates for deputies. In addition, Ni Sichong killed more than 5,000 innocent people in Fuyang, the Northern Expeditionary Army stagnated in Hefei, and the people of Fuyang wept blood and begged the commander to hang the people and expel Ni Sichong. Presumably history was distorted, and the event was brought forward. (The author, Ni Sichong, went down to Taihe on December 10 and fell into Yingzhou on the 15th.) )
The third telegram was actually sent by Sun Dacang, saying: Brother Fuguo swept the southeast and raised the national morale of the Han Dynasty. And said earnestly: He was the founder of the Republic of Japan, and his brother should be the commander of the revolutionary army.
The two messages from Li and Sun were quite painful, and they were essentially fools. The former burned their butts, and they still refused to let out some blood, and they wanted to rely on national righteousness to fool people to send their lives to death, and when it came to working in vain, Fang Hei's house didn't talk about the door, and there were no windows. The latter is even more painful, and the commander of the bare pole wants to go to Europe for a loan, so he wants to rely on his incorruptible tongue to lobby the European powers to admit it. As everyone knows, foreigners are the most Nima bastards and the most practical. How will you buy your account? has hit a wall with foreigners, and it is impossible to fool Fang Jianxiong. Wuhan is going to go, but not now, when I go to Wuhan, I am not ready to leave. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
