Chapter 253: The Dragon's Tooth of the Northern Kingdom (Part II)

@@@@

In the early morning, a lot of smoke rose over the city of Harbin, and Harbin under the occupation of Tsarist Russia used the Eastern Railway to build a number of sweatshop factories, most of which were institutions serving the Russian Far East.

The General Plant of the Eastern Railway (Harbin Rolling Stock Factory) is one of the largest factories in Harbin, where four trains can be overhauled and maintained at the same time, which used to be done in Vladivostok, but with the opening of the Eastern Railway, especially after the defeat of the Russo-Japanese War, Russia has strengthened the construction here, and has more than 2,000 Chinese workers and skilled workers from all over Russia.

In addition to strengthening the control of Harbin and the Northeast, another reason for expanding the area instead of building it in Vladivostok was that Chinese laborers were cheap, and with some bread and sauerkraut, with rifles, they could have a large number of coolies who could work more than ten hours a day.

In terms of exploitation, Tsarist Russia and Japan are undoubtedly the most cruel, in the Japanese and Russian factories in the northeast, Chinese workers must work up to 16 hours a day, and the slightest slack is to be punched and kicked, and even executed, on the contrary, the British, French and German factories in Shanhaiguan are slightly better, at least the workers can get a monthly wage equivalent to the local standard of living.

The 27-year-old Qin Jian walked towards the main factory with his cotton jacket tightly wrapped in his tall stature and full beard, which made him look a bit like a Tatar, and it was this appearance that made him disguise himself as a Tatar descendant who wandered in Xinjiang. On his resume he was an ordinary maintenance worker, but in fact he was one of the agents of the National Security Agency, and he had been on a mission to leave Shanghai six months ago, arriving in Vladivostok under the pretense of being a Tatar refugee, and from there he returned to Harbin, where he was soon found a job because of his training at the Hanyang factory.

Months of lurking allowed him to see a picture that could not be seen in the south, where the brutal Russian invaders were reckless, oppressing and enslaving the Chinese here, occupying almost all known mines, and plundering the wealth that belonged to China with machine guns and artillery.

This time, he accepted the task of "Hiding Teeth", which is more difficult than Hidden Teeth, because this character is like an orphan who has been scattered and needs to blend into various industries of society, and then work and live like an ordinary person, and integrate into the target world, until one day it is activated, and perhaps it will never be activated.

This is the most difficult and challenging task, at the beginning of the establishment of the Ministry of Security, many people did not like to be a "Tibetan tooth", until a founder of the Security Bureau also took the initiative to be a Tibetan tooth, everyone was moved by the kind of blood and loyalty to the country in his body, and began to accept this kind of task.

Qin Jian's goal was very simple, to do everything possible to contact and integrate into the Bolshevik leadership, and there were many people who accepted the mission with him, and everyone disappeared in the vast northeast and Siberia in various occupations, and no one knew whether they would be able to get together in the future, let alone know if they would lose their faith and loyalty to the country in the process of "hiding their teeth".

He was undoubtedly fortunate in comparison with his more integrated companions, not only did he come to the general factory, which was said to be full of Bolshevik ideas, but he also became acquainted with many Bolsheviks, and he himself had joined the Bolsheviks a month earlier. Of course, this is not enough, they are all small fish and shrimp, and his dream is to become the head of the Bolshevik Harbin Liujin and Shumyatsky's most trusted person.

However, it is very difficult to achieve this, not to mention that the Bolshevik ideology is everywhere, but the organization is very tight, and everyone knows who the top leaders are, and the Tsarist authorities are very strict with them, and people are often taken away and disappear.

Originally, he was still a little anxious, it was too difficult to rely on the strength of one person, but at this moment he got the news that someone came to cover him.

With the cooperation of partners, it means that the future will not be the same ()!

Qin Jian walked quickly into the general factory, and several Tsarist Russian soldiers lazily stopped him, with a thick Tatar accent in Russian and documents, so that he could avoid being searched.

Several Russian trains waiting to be overhauled were parked side by side on the tracks, and many workers like him were busy around them, forging presses, gear machines, crankshaft machines, etc., hundreds of machines roared endlessly, and in the semi-enclosed factory shed next to it, there were two half-assembled steam locomotives.

Qin Jian's job is to assemble and manufacture steam locomotives, in fact, this factory is not fully capable of producing locomotives, the most important of which is that it is unable to produce supporting boilers, but the great Lieutenant General Horvat felt that it was too wasteful to let Chinese workers knock and beat every day, and there were many Russian technicians assigned here, so he forcibly asked to assemble and build locomotives, and also called it to build a factory in the Far East that could produce fifty locomotives per year for His Majesty the Great Tsar. Solve the situation of insufficient transport capacity in the Far East.

He is boasting, the two locomotives in front of him have been built since Qin Jian entered the factory, and they have not been completed for half a year, so the annual output of fifty locomotives is just a joke, but the distant St. Petersburg took it seriously, and also transported more than 200 machine tools, two metallurgical furnaces with a daily output of 10 tons, and funds worth 300,000 pounds into his private pocket!

This batch of machinery that was still stacked in the factory and unopened also caused Qin Jian's eyes to blush, and he also sent a message back to inform him that there was a large number of idle machinery here, so that the partners could find a way to buy it and expand the domestic industrial strength.

After the previous mechanical training, coupled with half a year of work and study here, the "efforts" of His Excellency Horvath are still very valuable in Qin Jian's eyes, as long as the problem of boiler manufacturing can be solved, this factory will definitely have the ability to produce 10 locomotives per year.

"Ivan, don't be stunned, be careful of being seen by those overseers."

Qin Jian's thoughts were interrupted by a Russian holding a drawing not far away, Mir-Ivan was the Russian name he gave himself, which sounded like a member of the famous Ivan family of Tatars, although in fact he had nothing to do with Tatar, but because of his appearance, name and hard work in learning Tatar Russian, everyone regarded him as a Tatar descendant ().

The Russian in the distance was a train designer, a man who was definitely a great talent in Hanyang, but he was slandered as a traitor and exiled here because of a trivial matter with the aristocracy, which made him a member of the Bolsheviks.

Qin Jian cast a grateful glance at his Russian partner, to say that the Bolsheviks treated the Chinese workers quite well, and the set of things they preached was also very inflammatory among the Chinese workers, and some of the ideas in it were even similar to those of the National Society, but he would not be fooled by appearances, as the commander-in-chief himself said during the training, Russia is the country that has caused the most harm to China in hundreds of years, and there is not even one of them! The character of the Russians is barbarism, recklessness and betrayal, these things in the bones cannot be changed, and the Bolsheviks co-opted and incited the Chinese workers because they are currently in an absolutely weak position, and it is up to the Chinese to hide and survive in this land, and without the support of the Chinese, they will be easily exterminated by the Russian army.

In normal times, Qin Jian would definitely accept the advice to work hard immediately, but today he lazily picked up the wrench, slowly knocked on the iron wheel and crankshaft and pretended to check, this lazy work attitude was soon seen by the two Russian overseers with leather whips, and the corners of his mouth rushed up with a smirk.

"Smack."

Without waiting for Qin Jian to make any preparations, the whip slammed into his back, and in an instant, a blood mark appeared on his clothes: "Damn pig!" Hurry up, do you want to die? ”

Qin Jian endured the pain, turned his head and pretended to be extremely scared: "My lord, I am a little unwell today, maybe I am sick." ”

"Sick? Yes! Haha, I'll give you a good check. His expression of pity and helplessness did not provoke sympathy, but made the Russian overseer more rampant, as if seeing the best toy, and the whip fell on him once more.

"Sick! Bang bang that's great! I'm going to smash your hands and feet so you can be sick forever! The overseer snapped his leather whip, making Qin Jian feel hot and painful every blow, if it weren't for pretending to be pitiful and attracting the sympathy of the Chinese workers and Bolsheviks around him, he really wanted to kill these two guys directly.

The deliberate loud screams were in vain, and the Chinese workers and Bolsheviks who heard the voices all around rushed over, shouting: "Stop! Don't hit people indiscriminately! ”

"Varik, you butcher! Ivan is a technician! ”

"You lackeys of the capitalists, butchers!"

The main factory had the largest working class in Harbin, and was one of the fastest growing places in the northeast for the Bolsheviks, who would have hated them if not for Qin Jian, the Russian overseers who represented evil capitalism.

Seeing that there were more and more people around, the overseer was also a little flustered, especially when he saw that the other party had a guy in his hand, he was so frightened that he stopped pumping and pulled out his revolver and threatened to shout: "Damn, give me back to work, otherwise all of them will be arrested!" ”

When it came to the arrest, some workers began to be afraid, but Qin Jian, who saw a few blood marks on his face lying on the ground, gritted his teeth and continued to insist on confrontation.

The grim police post made the workers' faces change slightly, the army is not an overseer, the ferocity of the Tsarist Russian soldiers is famous in the Northeast, and they will peel off their skin if they catch it and don't die! The shouting of taps and running starts to make everyone nervous, and that's when it's right! Qin Jian, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up, and shouted while pounced on the two overseers: "Disperse quickly!" This is my business, don't bother everyone! I'm fighting with you! ”

Because all the overseer's attention was attracted by the worker, he didn't expect that Qin Jian, who was beaten half to death, would suddenly burst out, and before he could pay much attention to his wrist, he was hit by a wrench, and the two pistols fell to the ground at once.

Qin Jianyan quickly snatched the pistol, shouting and waving for everyone to leave, while rushing towards those soldiers.

The Russian soldier who ran at the front saw that Qin Jian had a gun in his hand, and he couldn't help but say that he would raise his gun and shoot, and the sound of the gun suddenly made the factory explode, and almost at the same moment, the workers who heard the gunfire grabbed the tools around them and rushed out of the factory.

In the Russian ** battalion next to the maintenance plant, Liujin was pulling a worker in blue cloth overalls and talking softly: "Comrade Xilin, you must be very careful when you go back, the evil tsar will definitely not let you go easily." ”

Sirin is Shumyatsky's pseudonym, arrested in 1906 for organizing and leading an armed uprising of workers in Krasnoyaysk, after the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, Russia urgently needed to expand the industrial power of Harbin, so hundreds of skilled workers, including him, were sent here, and he also hid as a lathe technician under the pseudonym Silin. Upon his arrival, he quickly became the leader of the Bolsheviks here, and quickly established a well-established organizational structure, especially the general factory, and with his efforts became the stronghold of the Bolsheviks in the Far East, but today he had to say goodbye, because he was allowed to return to Europe after serving his sentence.

The man in front of him was called Liukin, and after Shumyatsky was gone, he would become the continuator, continuing to be in charge of the Bolshevik workers' organization in Harbin.

"Dear Comrade Liujin, thank you for your concern, I will be careful." Shumyatsky shook hands with Liujin and exhorted: "Harbin already has a very good foundation, I hope you will lead your comrades to continue to work hard, pay attention to the development of more Chinese, only by uniting the Chinese here, can the tyrant's ruling base here." ”

Ryukin was a very cautious man, and in fact Shumyatsky felt that he was not suitable to be a leader, because he lacked decisiveness, but the Far East was too lacking in far-sighted comrades compared to Europe, so he could only hold the post for the time being, and when he returned to Russia, his comrades would discuss whether to change people.

"Comrade Xilin, please rest assured, I will be careful." Liujin didn't feel that Shumyatsky didn't really agree with him, he understood the importance of developing the Chinese, but there was one thing he was more worried about: "Although our ideas have been recognized by many Chinese workers and have a certain foundation here, I am worried that China's reunification will interfere with our development." ”

Although the revolution led by the Kuomintang succeeded in overthrowing the rotten Manchu government, it was disturbed by a young man who suddenly appeared and the Kuomintang Party, and the recent Northern Expedition laid the foundation for the Kuomintang to unify China in one fell swoop.

What impact would a unified capitalist China have on the development of the Bolsheviks in the Far East?

Shumyatsky could not predict it, and said very frankly: "Comrade Liujin, I don't know what to do about this matter, but please believe me, when I return to Europe, I will contact the organization as soon as possible and send someone to contact the Chinese government to test their attitude." ”

Liujin knew that there was only so much to do, and got up to see Shumyatsky off, but at this moment, fierce gunshots suddenly rang out outside! The faces of the two suddenly changed, what happened?

A moment later, a member of the Bolshevik Party rushed in: "Comrade Xilin, Comrade Liujin, there is an accident at the factory!" ”

"Something's wrong!"

Shumyatsky looked excited, the development of the general factory into such a way is his painstaking efforts for many years, if this place is cleared by the Tsarist government, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the development of the Bolsheviks in the Far East.

When they heard that Qin Jian was beaten by the flesh and blood, they angrily grabbed the gun and the soldiers fired at each other, and killed several people and fled, their faces suddenly became solemn.

Mir Ivan?

Shumyatsky frowned: "Is it Ivan Tatar who came here from Xinjiang?" ”

"Yes!" The visitor nodded: "He joined us last month, Comrade Shumyatsky, we should save him, otherwise he will be killed by those lackeys." ”

Shumyatsky glanced at Liujin, who thought about it and said: "It is impossible for him to escape from the city after being wounded, but it will cause trouble if we go to find him in person, so it is better to find Comrade Ren Fuchen, who has a good relationship with the Chinese police in the police station." ”

"You can do this and try to rescue Comrade Ivan." Shumyatsky thought about it and said: "I went to stabilize the mood of the comrades in the factory, the armed uprising is not ready, and nothing can happen yet." ”
