Yuan Shikai's request was a bit impolite to say, but after Xi Benxiong's report, it was still approved by Wang Yi. In fact, it doesn't matter, there is nothing worth keeping secret about the training methods of big businessmen. It's all institutionalized things, of course, the same set of things, big businessmen can train elite soldiers, but others may not be able to, and ordinary people don't have a chaebol background like big businessmen, but in terms of bullet consumption, I'm afraid it's enough for a group of people to feel distressed.

Xiang Long is now the commander-in-chief of Vladivostok, with the navy and land forces in charge, and before fighting Vladivostok, the Russians left a lot of warships. In the king's eyes, they were outdated, but for those regions without a navy, these ships were a good way to open the door.

In the Gatchina Palace on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, the new Tsar Alexander III was talking about the Far East with War Minister Dmitry Alekseevich Milyugin, as well as his father's illegitimate son Yevgeny Ivanovich Alekseev.

"Your Majesty, this is a secret letter from General Skobelev in Irkutsk, please take a look." Milyukin presented the information.

After reading the letter again, the emperor in his thirties was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded: "These bastards of the Northeast Republic are so unscrupulous in the Far East!" ”

Neither Ilyutin nor Alekseev dared to say much at this time, until Alexander III regained his composure.

"Milyukin, what can you do? Are we going to send troops? Alexander III himself was skeptical of this.

"This ......" Milyugin paused before he said, "Your Majesty, we are sparsely populated in the Far East, especially in the Magadan region and the Kamchatka Peninsula, and our strength is even weaker. Even if we send troops, but the other side has a navy, which can be attacked and retreated, and we cannot do anything about it. Moreover, the climate in the Far East is extremely harsh, and even if we send a large army, we will not be able to maintain supplies during the winter. ”

Looking at the map of his country, Alexander III knew that his War Minister was right.

Alexander III shook his head helplessly, and then said: "Aiqing, there is no solution. ”

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to use the navy!" Alekseev built a road at this time.

"Can our navy go that far? Besides, after the Battle of Vladivostok, our navy in the Far East was almost completely wiped out. Alexander said worriedly.

"So I hope that His Majesty will approve the shipbuilding plan proposed by the Admiralty recently, and only with a strong navy can we defend the Far East from being invaded by others."

Milyugin thought about it and agreed.

Alexander III sighed and said, "So be it! ”

Wang Yi was looking at the map of the three eastern provinces, then turned around and asked, "Yazhi, where are we building the railway now?" ”

"The Ying'an line has reached Dalian to the south. To the north passed Liaoyang to Mukden, and then to the southeast to Benxi, Fengcheng, and is currently being repaired to Andong. And to the east repaired to Fushun. The northeast direction was repaired to Qingyuan. To the north over the Tieling, is being repaired to Siping, it is estimated that next year can be repaired to reach Jilin. If there are enough manpower and the construction between Harbin and Changchun starts at the same time, the main railway line between the three provinces can be completed within three years. ”

Wang Yi shook his head and said, "No, it's still too slow!" ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Continue to increase labor recruitment from the Central Plains and North Korea regions and speed up the construction of railways! At the same time, the DPRK and the Northeast Republic will be included in the scope of construction, and the railways will be built to Vladivostok, Temple Street, Yaxa, Nebuchu, Chita, as well as Pyongyang, Seoul, and Busan! ”

"How long will it take?"

"Three years for the main line, five years for the branch line!"

Shen Yazhi was so surprised that she couldn't speak, and it took a long time before she said, "Then I'm afraid we will have financial problems." ”

Wang Yi walked up to her, gently took her in his arms, and said, "No problem, we already have a large amount of gold mines in our hands now, as long as we mine them properly, the Dashang Silver Furnace will have enough gold reserves." At that time, we will issue railway bonds within the scope of the Qing Dynasty, plus a part of foreign idle funds, and there will be no problem at all. ”

The girl leaned on Wang Yi's arms relaxedly, and then said: "But the Northeast Republic is easy to say, it is our territory, but will North Korea agree?" ”

"What do you think?" Wang Yi smiled maliciously.

"You're too domineering!" Shen Yatou, who was hugged by Wang Yiheng, laughed coquettishly. "That Concubine Min still can't hate you to death!"

"Hate as much as hate! The little lady doesn't care at all, she's better stay honest, otherwise I don't mind putting the big courtyard king from our school back and letting him taste what it's like to be the king of Joseon! ”

At the same time that Wang Yi was laying out his own power in Korea, the French did not stay honest.

In March 1882, the French government ordered the commander of the Cochinchina navy, Livier (Li Weiye), to command the invading army to invade northern Vietnam for the second time, and in April, invade and occupy the city of Hanoi, and then reconnoiter the Red River with military ships as far as Shanxi in the northwest of Hanoi.

Before Wang Yi implemented the Korean strategy, he had already received news from Annan, but it was beyond his control, so he could only watch from the sidelines. However, it has accelerated the production of large merchant shipyards and ships.

At present, the Lushun plant and the Huludao plant have been completed, and the trial production has begun, and each has obtained an order for the construction of a Junzi-class destroyer and three merchant ships, and Vladivostok is still under construction. The six major docks in the Yingkou factory were under construction at the same time, except for the dreadnought that could not be completed in the short term, Wang Yi had already given Zhang Jingxiao a death order. In any case, before the end of the year, at least two cruisers will be launched! The latest launch date for the remaining warships will be before the end of next year. Among them, one of the first batch of warships launched was for the personal use of large merchants, and the rest were warships produced for the North and South Oceans.

Originally, according to Wang Yi's hope, he wanted to directly build warships without sails for the North and South Oceans, but later found that if coal-fired power was used, it was obvious that the voyage would not last long. In this era, it seems that there is no possibility of producing and storing fuel except for the Tohoku region, so it will be very difficult to replenish the supply. Later, Wang Yi had no choice but to choose the sail steam hybrid. The cowhide to Xu Jianyin was blown in vain.

The construction of such armored cruisers will not be difficult for big merchants at all. The mature multi-expansion steam engine technology has long been used on merchant ships, which can be installed on warships after improvement, which has the advantage of saving water, of course, the disadvantage is that the efficiency is a bit low. The rest of the equipment is also steam-powered. There are 12 6-inch triple guns, which are out of power and can be reloaded by hand. There is a rangefinder, there are no torpedo pipes, a conventional displacement of 9100 tons. The maximum speed is 25 knots.

There are still quite a few complaints about the lack of large-caliber artillery in the North and South Seas, but they were all pushed back by Wang Yi.

In addition to the use of twin-shaft turbines, the speed reached 31 knots, the radar was installed, and the mast was removed, and the layout also used 12 6-inch triple main guns, and there was also a rangefinder, but it was advanced to the previous generation, with a displacement of 8400 tons, and a lot of fragments.

On this day, Wang Yi was giving a class to medical students, but after class, Tu Xiaohua came to find him.

"Xiaohua, what's wrong?"

"Captain, we've found some problems in Liaoxi." Saying that, Tu Xiaohua handed over a roll of materials to Wang Yi.

Unfold it, there are three words - Jindan Dao!

The great leader of the Jindan cult is named Yang Yuechun, who was born in the 21st year of Daoguang (1841) in Yangjiawanzi, Jianchang County, Chengde Prefecture, under the direct subordination (now Lihu Village, Aohan Qigouliang Town, Zhaowuda League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region). It is said that when he was in his thirties, he met a Taoist priest surnamed Guo, from whom he learned some alchemy and exorcism spells, so he began to take advantage of the weakness of the general superstition of the people of the time to practice medicine everywhere to cheat money, and soon his family became rich. The main altar was set up in the remote deep mountains and old forests of the Great Black Mountain, and began to recruit believers in the name of practicing medicine under the cover of abundant forests.

In the west of the Great Black Mountain, there are the "Zailijiao" (Qingbang) centered on Karaqin, Pingquan, and Chifeng, and in the east, there are the "Wushengmen and Golden Bell Jars" that spread in Jinzhou, Yizhou, and other places, and these two sects are also cults.

Yang Yuechun unceremoniously used the method to mix the pretense of banning smoking and quitting alcohol in the "Doctrine of Reason" and the absurd and insincere sayings of "Martial Saint Gate and Golden Bell Jar" such as "Entering the Sect and Practicing Techniques to Avoid Disasters with Swords and Guns" to form the so-called "doctrine".

However, compared with the two cults that have been in business for many years, they have already become "classics" of their own, and Yang Yuechun is just a vulgar person who is swaggering and deceiving, so he can only claim to his followers that there are so-called "Dream Sutras," "Hulu Sutras," "Wen Entry and Exit Methods," "Brahma Sutras," "Guanyin Mantras," and other scriptures. In this way, a cult organization that claims to "persuade people to learn well" has come out of the patchwork in this way, and its official full name is "Wumen, Jindan Dao, and One Stick of Incense," and it is also known as "Shengdaomen."

After reading the above introduction, Wang Yi wondered, and said: "Xiaohua, such crooked ways, except for our one-third of an acre of land, it seems to be a lot." What do you care about this? ”

Tu Xiaohua still has that ugly face, and she has a smile in front of Wang Yi. Of course, laughing with others will most likely be frightened.

"Captain, this person secretly stirred up the relationship between the Han people and the Mongolian people, and created many rumors against the Mongols. If you don't stop it in time, it is likely to cause a catastrophe! Eradication should be done early! ”

"Nima, is there anyone playing this now?"
