Chapter Ninety-Four: The gap is widening
Chapter Ninety-Four
Fang Jianxiong's cognition of Xu Shuzheng has to thank some authors who write time-traveling novels. Let's put it this way, there are character chronicles in the official history compiled by the Academy of Social Sciences, but Xu Shuzheng's deeds of recovering Outer Mongolia cannot be seen on the cliff. Xu Shuzheng, who can appear in the official historical figures, must be a reactionary and traitorous Beiyang warlord. What colluded with Japan to betray national interests to form a war army, and what killed Lu Jianzhang, the uncle of patriotic general Feng Yuxiang. Eun, in the end, this guy let the patriotic general do it.
All in all, this guy is in the official history, and that is the negative example of pro-Japanese traitor. What historical merits will not be said in the official history. By the way, it was later set up.
When Fang Jianxiong faced Xu Shuzheng, he thought of the historical trajectory of another time and space, and then compared the official history with the record of this person. I can't help but sigh, history is really a bitch! Whenever someone needs it, go for it.
There is a hillside on the bank of the Yangtze River, and there is a pavilion on it. Tea and wine are set up in the pavilion, and the two stand side by side, and there are more than ten soldiers on guard.
The weather is good, and the scenery on the river can be seen in the hall, and the river water is like blue, stretching eastward. The sky is clear and there are a few white clouds.
The east wind blew on his face, looking at the great rivers and mountains in front of him, Fang Jianxiong couldn't help but sigh: "What a beautiful scenery!" How nice it would be if there were no warships flying foreign flags on this river! ”
A simple sentence stirred up some waves in Xu Shuzheng's heart. In history, the recovery of Outer Mongolia may be suspected of establishing the prestige of the Beiyang government, but its historical merits cannot be erased if some people want to. There will always be descendants to clear the fog of history. Seek the truth.
At this time, Xu Shuzheng was not the little fan of Premier Duan Qirui later. The low position or something is still far behind, and there is no shadow of the Anfu Club. Even compared to Fang Jianxiong, it is a face-saving thing to give him a chance to stand together.
"I have heard for a long time that the handsome man has the ambition of the world, and when I see it today, I know that it is true." After all, Xu Shuzheng wants to speak from the position of Beiyang. The protagonist's Wang Ba's anger is basically ineffective against him. Stance is something that cannot be changed by saying two words. Xu Shuzheng's personal interests are firmly linked to the interests of Beiyang as a whole.
"Again, go back and sue Yuan Xiangcheng. Don't come at me. If he can be the president in peace, it will be fine, if he continues to play some so-called tricks that cannot be put on the table, the day when someone will raise troops to the north is not far away. When Fang Jianxiong turned around and smiled, Xu Shuzheng was stabbed in the eyes and heart by a sharp gaze.
The young handsome man in front of him, a few years younger than himself, has actually stood on the stage of the country and made his voice heard, and can easily influence the overall situation. This point is a huge stimulation for Xu Shuzheng, who also has huge political ambitions. "I once heard Xiang Cheng's official saying: Giving birth to a son should be like a fang to support the country. The president treats the marshal as a marshal. ……。 ”
Fang Jianxiong waved his hand and interrupted Xu Shuzheng's words, which was somewhat rude. However, with Fang Jianxiong's current identity, it is not rude, and he can give Xu Shuzheng a chance to speak like this. It is a gesture of Fang Jianxiong. Unfortunately, this effort seems to have had little effect, so let's leave it for later.
Now Fang Jianxiong's mentality is very good, and he no longer has the mentality of being persuaded by Jiang Baili for the first time in Germany and regretting it for a long time. In fact, the reason is very simple, these people who have left their names in history. Which one isn't a great character? Which one is willing to convince people?
"Again, don't say these things that you don't believe yourself! Someday, you'll see, it's who is pushing this country. ”
After speaking, Fang Jianxiong raised his hand and pointed to the river flowing eastward: "Are you interested in taking a trip downstream with me to see where the future hope of this country lies?" ”
Xu Shuzheng restrained the surprise in his heart, and said indifferently: "Of course! ”
Fang Jianxiong looked back and saw a rebellious look in his eyes, and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Okay, then let's go together." ”
The guards brought the war horses, Fang Jianxiong got on the horse first, raised his whip and smiled: "Another Zheng, maybe a horse?" ”
Xu Shuzheng was unconvinced and got on another ride, and laughed and said, "Don't dare to lag behind with others." ”
The symbol of modern industry, when the scene of the huge chimney rolling up with thick smoke appeared in the eye, both the traverser Fang Jianxiong and the contemporary Xu Shuzheng were shocked by this scene. In fact, the smoke can already be seen at a long distance, and when you get closer, you can see the huge chimneys standing up, and you can really feel the magnificence of this scene.
Don't even mention any pollution! A country that can't even eat enough, a country that can't even guarantee sovereignty, a country that allows the great powers to trample on it wantonly, and pollute or something, don't need thunder from the sky to kill you, saliva can drown you.
Xu Shuzheng, who faced this scene in the twilight and sunset, looked at the scene in front of him in amazement. Fang Jianxiong raised his hand and laughed: "After more than a year of construction, this place is finally about to start, the first phase of the project has an annual output of 50,000 tons, and it is expected that by the end of 15 years, an annual output of one million tons of steel will be reached." Again, our generation must look up at the world, and even more so, bury our heads in development. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to keep up with the world. The way of scheming, in the face of absolute strength, is just a piece of shit! ”
After that, Fang Jianxiong rode his horse at a gallop, Xu Shuzheng was a little behind, and he rose up to chase, but the horsepower was not enough, and no matter how he chased it, he was a little behind. Seeing Fang Jianxiong fall into a gate and dismount in front of the building, Xu Shuzheng slowed down for a minute before getting off the horse. Seeing his ugly face, Fang Jianxiong couldn't help laughing happily: "Another Zheng, don't think so much." You only need to figure out one thing, and since you have come to this era, you should try to do everything you think you should do. ”
In May of this year, at the tail of spring, Beijing was still disturbed by the country's "major events", but the United Autonomous Region led by Fang Jianxiong was constantly making new moves. The first phase of the Maanshang Iron and Steel Plant was put into operation, and the so-called Hankou and Huangpo Special Economic Zones were launched in Hankou, the three towns of Wuhan, which relied on the Jinghan Railway and the Yangtze River Shipping, and all foreign enterprises investing in the Special Economic Zone enjoyed the same industrial and commercial rights as those in the concession.
The nascent cabinet is still negotiating with the Bank of Shikoku, and it is said that the negotiations on the aftermath of the big loan are quite smooth. After the interim cabinet was formed, the focus was on the general election. During this period, Yuan Shikai, as the president, issued several orders in succession. The most striking is the post of generalissimo, which, in view of the considerable opinions in the army, was suspended for a later date. Anyway, all kinds of undead hearts are enough. This was followed by continuous adjustments, separating the military and government from each province, and setting up provincial governors to manage civil affairs and supervising the army to manage the army.
This can be said to be a wave of feast, whether it is Beiyang or the Kuomintang, they are all enthusiastically engaged in it to compete for a mouthful.
When Xu Shuzheng walked out of the train station, he probably faced such a situation. It was the carriage sent by Duan Qirui who came to engage in the battle, and when the sound of Tatata's horses' hooves was remembered in this familiar ancient city, Xu Shuzheng subconsciously lifted the curtain and looked outside.
I remember the first time I came to Beijing, I was completely amazed by the grandeur of the city. After a long time in Beijing, the whole person was drenched in a kind of lifelessness. And it was quickly polished off the edges and corners and assimilated by the oppressive atmosphere!
After returning from a trip to the south, I had already felt very adaptable to the depression, but suddenly a new change was born. Suddenly, I felt like I had come back from another world. If you have to compare Beijing and Wuhu, it is not difficult for you to find that the small city on the Yangtze River is completely a vibrant world, and it shows relaxation, cleanliness and self-confidence. And the huge city of Beijing, wrapped in the thick city wall, is oppressive, twilight, and heavy.
Once the comparison found a huge gap, Xu Shuzheng's uneasiness in his heart became even stronger. The trip to Wuhu and Ma'anshan made Xu Shuzheng's confidence in all the traditional advantages of Beiyang completely gone. This is definitely not alarmist!
After a lot of thoughts along the way, I finally came to the presidential palace. When I got off the carriage, I saw Mr. Duan.
"Good guy!" Xu Shuzheng has always maintained enough respect for Duan Qirui in terms of face. Duan Qirui smiled and nodded: "It's hard work, the president is waiting for you, go in and talk." The two walked in together, Xu Shuzheng's face was abnormal, and it was not difficult to escape Duan Qirui's eyes.
"Again, what's wrong?" Duan Qirui asked, Xu Shuzheng sighed calmly: "Beiyang is too backward, we must face up to this reality, otherwise we will definitely lose in the future." Xu Shuzheng's position is still on the side of Beiyang after all. In fact, Fang Jianxiong didn't expect to impress him, subtle is the most effective.
Duan Qirui was a little disappreciative and said, "It's Zheng again, it's an exaggeration." Xu Shuzheng stood and raised his hand to the outside and said, "Zhiquan, you go and see what the people in the city are doing, and then go and see what they are doing in Wuhu, Wuhan." Fang Fuguo's steel plant in Wuhu has officially started, with an annual output of 50,000 tons of steel. The Wuhu Arsenal has an annual output of 20,000 rifles and tens of millions of bullets. This is not counting Hanyang, where it is said that the annual output of artillery pieces of various calibers is hundreds, and the output of rifles cannot be worse than that of Wuhu, right? And what about Beiyang? What's in Beiyang? What's there? Once a war starts, it can only rely on external procurement. Even if the Central Committee of the Republic of China is in power, it will be at least two years to organize 20 infantry divisions. The question is, did Fang Fuguo give us this time? We still have to face Sun Huang and his ilk, and we have to face the battle in Congress. Fang Fuguo said something that I agree with. We must look up at the world, and we must work hard to catch up. ”
Xu Shuzheng looked a little excited, and Duan Qirui couldn't help but be surprised: "Youzheng, why did you come back from a trip and be so pessimistic?" ”
"Zhiquan, it's not that I'm pessimistic, we didn't have any advantage in helping each other before, and now the gap is still widening. If we can't reach an agreement, how can we persuade the president to accept this reality? ”rq
