At the end of April, the Suifen River was completely civilized, the train hissed and roared to the west, the south wind blew to the north, there was already a bit of spring warmth, the stuffy tank car could not feel the spring breeze outside, the dirty air filled the cramped and narrow space, which was crowded with immigrants from Shandong, last year Shandong suffered a large area of disaster, the green and yellow season in the customs came to recruit the boss, the food and housing, the future will be divided into land, such a generous condition who can resist it?

No one can't, Zhang Ergou of Zhucheng County is one of them, from the Weihai Sea to Tianjin, and later changed ships, all the way to this place full of white mountains, it is said that this is Lao Maozi's territory, but now it has been beaten down by General Wu. Speaking of General Wu Zhang Ergou, he felt angry, what kind of person is a foreigner? Back then, Lafayette was beaten and fled for his life, but General Wu not only defeated them, but also set up a concession on their territory, which was relieved to hear.

"Brother Ergou, where are you going? I wanted to get out of the car, but I panicked. In the dark, a lean half-sized boy muttered a thick Shandongfang dialect.

Zhang Ergou slapped half of the child, "Stand up, you will eat and drink spicy food when you get to the place, you know?" ”

Half-size, smash it, smash it, crack your lips, and snort: "Zhong, I listen to you, but what if you don't?" ”

"Follow me, that's right, what so much nonsense."

I heard that the place called Suidong has a coal mine, and all that comes out are good white coal, and it is better to go to live than to starve to death in the place where the birds don't in Zhangzhuang, Zhucheng.

The harsh sound of metal friction outside the stuffy tank sounded for a while, and then the body stopped, and then the human voice sounded, and the sliding door of the carriage was slammed open from the outside, and the sun pierced Zhang Ergou to open his eyes, and a fresh air mixed with a chill came to his face.

Outside the carriage stood a heavily armed soldier, standing motionless, looking like statues, without blinking an eye. Half-sized, curious to pull a soldier's shirt, was slapped back by Zhang Ergou again. Then there were officers who organized a crowd to line up, and soon they received a brand new cotton coat, Zhang Ergou couldn't wait to put the cotton clothes on the filthy single coat, although it also snowed in the winter of Zhucheng, but the cold of Suifenhe still made him unacceptable.

……

Suidong coal mine, and is the best white coal, this news made Wu Xiaoliang excited for several days, has been in a state of excitement, nothing can be more exciting than the current resources, he comes from later generations, naturally knows the importance of resources. Most of the immigrants brought by Sun Jiayu were arranged by him to Suidong, and the remaining part stayed in Vladivostok to build a concession port. And there was an unexpected harvest, the merchants in the Suifenhe area heard that Vladivostok had established a Chinese lease, and rushed to ask to settle in the lease, and also to move their shops.

Since the Qing government ceded large areas of territory along the Ussuri River and Suifen River to Tsarist Russia, the Chinese merchants here have been bullied by the Russians, and their homes and property have been confiscated at every turn, and some have even lost their lives. Now that they finally have a backer, how can these businessmen not be happy. For these people who took the initiative to invest, Wu Xiaoliang did not refuse, accepted them one by one, and provided them with a convenient condition, they only need to pay a slightly lower than the market price of the land, and they can permanently own a piece of land of their own.

Almost overnight, the desolate concession land became a hot construction site, Sun Jiayu looked at the thriving scenery in front of him, and sighed with emotion: "Second brother, Ban Dingyuan is nothing more than that, recovering the lost land, you are a great hero of China." ”

Wu Xiaoliang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Big brother, this is only the first step, in the de jure Shanghai Senwei still belongs to the Russians, and the Suidong Army has returned the control of the city to the Russians, and our legal scope of activities is only to lease 3,000 acres of land. ”

Sun Jiayu regretted for a while: "Why do you pay them back?" If we occupy it, we will occupy it. ”

"Big brother doesn't know, everything pays attention to a name, the reason why we can occupy Vladivostok is to take advantage of the Russians and clam fighting, although their strength is not good, but the ability to protect themselves is still more than enough, the Cossack cavalry will return in an instant, the victory or defeat of the fight is unknown, and the Japanese, French, and British will definitely not sit idly by, the Russian territory is recaptured by the Chinese, and it will inevitably send troops to intervene, and then our Suidong Army will be in a dilemma."

Sun Jiayu listened attentively, for the first time he looked at the problem of reconquista from a new angle, but he did not expect that it would affect the situation of the whole world. Wu Xiaoliang continued: "So at first, we can only encroach little by little by the mildest means, as it is now, the Suidong army has taken advantage of it, and it will not cause foreign forces to interfere. ”

In fact, the reality is far more complicated than what he tells, and in his memory, the Japanese will intervene in the Russian Revolution in the summer, and then they will be on the seaside cities such as Vladivostok and Temple Street.6 This would have put a serious obstacle in his expansion plans, and now that he had established a Lend-Lease in Vladivostok as a stronghold of the Suidong Army, he would never let the Japanese succeed lightly.

Sun Jiayu sighed again, Wu Xiaoliang did something that he couldn't have imagined two years ago, earth-shattering events, and his grandson's Yuchang also became a well-known industrialist in the country from a wealthy businessman in Fengtian, all of which were given by the second brother.

"Second brother, what are the plans for the future, it's fun to talk about my brother."

"Expand!" Wu Xiaoliang said without thinking, he knew that once Petrov's Cossack cavalry regiment returned, the Suidong Army would face a great challenge, and if its strength was not squeezed, it might even be expelled from Vladivostok, and it would really fall short at that time. And there are also the Japanese who are eyeing the enemy, who are eager to try, so he must make the Suidong army have enough military strength to deal with future conflicts.

Sun Jiayu nodded, feeling a little cold, wrapped the black fine Ni windbreaker tightly, and said, "How do you need my brother to cooperate, just say it then." ”

"Big brother, do you remember the 20,000 catties of gold? It's time for them to come in handy. ”

Speaking of money, Sun Jiayu smiled confidently: "Second brother, don't say that there are 20,000 catties of gold, even if you don't have it, it is still more than enough for us to join forces with Liangda to build an army." Just make a list of what you need."

Wu Xiaoliang's heart moved when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Yuchang and Liangda had grown to the point of being rich and rivaling the country, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

The guards in the distance hurried to arrive, their faces full of anxiety......
