Chapter 166: Why don't you marry me?

@@@@@

Time passed quickly, one by one steamers arrived in Hankou at the same time, the country also entered a "period of peace", Tang Shaoyi's political earthquake in the north after the fall of the political earthquake quickly stabilized because of Lu Zhengxiang's decisive measures, in addition to not getting Han Yeping's profits, Yuan Shikai was even very glad to be able to drive him away ().

With the recovery of Han Yeping, the unification of the three provinces in the upper reaches of the Yangzi River was finally completed, and the anti-rebellion movement in the territory also came to an end, and a large number of ruffians and hooligans who were forcibly disarmed and arrested became free laborers. Yang Qiu would not sympathize with these people, and threw all these people into the construction of industrial and mining and railways, and carried out forced labor reform. The addition of more than 100,000 free laborers, in turn, promoted the construction speed of the three provinces, taking the Hanchuan line as an example, in addition to the slow speed of Guibei, the other three provinces and four sections (Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing and Chengdu) at an average speed of one kilometer per day for each section to advance rapidly, even Zhan Tianyou rarely made a bold statement, saying that the railway can be completed within five years.

In order to ensure that these people did not cause trouble, the National Guard took the lead in forming five light infantry regiments and began to take up their duties, and they will work with the police to maintain law and order in the three provinces, and at the same time serve as the second-line force of the National Defense Force.

Hanshui and Hanchen line after two months of planning, the two lines of the shared Wuchang to Hunan Changde railway line also from Changde and Wuchang at the same time to break ground, the construction of all the use of the newly formed railway troops, wearing military uniforms, to take the military treatment of the favorable conditions to attract a large number of young labor force in the three provinces to join, but outsiders do not understand why Yang Qiu is so big construction, he dragged his own hands and feet ().

After the integration of coal mine resources in Daye, Qijiang and Xiangtan, coupled with several proven mining areas to be developed in Pingxiang and Guibei in Jiangxi Province under remote control, Kuang Jingyang also made it clear that the coal mine output of the three provinces can exceed 3 million tons by the end of the year, which is only 2 million less than the annual output of 5 million in the five-year plan.

Pan Tianzhu, who went to Dangtu, also came with good news, not only locating the two iron mines of Nanshan and Taochong, but also finding out the famous Luohe iron mine in later generations under the guidance of Yang Qiu, but the Luohe iron mine is surrounded by complex waterways and difficult to mine, so he is only a suggestion whether to mine it. Although he could not predict the exact number as later generations, when the discovery of the iron ore inspired Pan Tianzhu and others, who dreamed of saving the country with steel, he immediately called Yang Qiu and asked for a huge amount of money to buy these three mines.

Yang Qiu also reacted positively, although the financial pressure was huge, but he still personally wrote to the Nanjing Left-behind Zhengfu, and also called Mr. Sun Wen, asking for the mining rights of these three major mining areas. After the reputation of industrial salvation was exaggerated in the newspapers, they had to turn a blind eye and sell three mines for three million. With such a low price, Pan Tianzhu, who had obtained the title deed and mining documents, could hardly believe it, and immediately brought the mined iron ore raw materials to the United States for testing, and said that he would recruit overseas Chinese iron and steel technical workers, and personally select steel equipment, so as to avoid the embarrassment that the ore and equipment did not match when the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant was first built, resulting in steel that could only be used for civilian use.

After the equipment and technical experts provided by the United States have arrived, the reconstruction of Hubei Iron and Steel Plant has officially begun, and Chongqing Steel Plant will not be able to enter trial production until at least the middle of next year due to the difficulty of transporting heavy equipment. And when the delivery of the steel coating plant equipment will also be at the end of the year, so in 1912 the steel dream has only started, but he has always been prepared for a rainy day, not to mention a secret identity, selected a group of young technical backbones, and imported a batch of oxygen production equipment from Germany, began to study the top blowing furnace steel method, this research technology was also included in the top secret together with engine and other technologies.

In order not to conflict, and in order to ensure the safe vacating of construction land, the steel pharmaceutical plant of Hubei Industrial Company was disbanded, the steel refining equipment for weapons was moved to the company's new factory, and the gunpowder factory was moved to Xiantao, which was sparsely populated and had relatively convenient transportation, and officially began to produce TNT yellow explosives using the three-stage manufacturing method of imported toluene (). At the same time, in order to reduce the import of raw materials, the new Hunan chemical plant was also put on the agenda and began to purchase equipment from Germany, and the Chongqing synthetic ammonia fertilizer plant was included in the five-year plan priorities, in addition, Yang Qiu also deployed the idea of using the phosphate rock in Xiaogan as soon as possible, and also loaned 3 million yuan to Song Weichen for the construction of three more cement plants in Sichuan and Hunan to supply the construction plan that could no longer meet the demand.

This series of procurement and construction plans, contracts and loans to domestic businessmen, made Germany and the United States smile crookedly, but also made the finances of the three provinces quickly dry up, and even the German loans that were originally intended for military spending had to be embezzled half, fortunately, the artesian well salt mine gave Yang Qiu a little hope, because of the full opening of the three provinces to the artesian salt merchants, and also let the army cooperate to open the markets of Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi, and after adopting the tax, it reduced the exploitation of intermediate links. For the first time, the already heavy salt tax reached 3 million per month. Shen Shukai also lost no time in auctioning off a large number of real estate in the Anmin Movement, and obtained a huge sum of more than 30 million yuan, which finally alleviated the financial pressure of excessive and too concentrated construction in 1912.

Compared with the construction and finance, the political construction is progressing more smoothly, especially the arrival of Tang Shaoyi made up for the lack of qualified civil administrators and political talents around Yang Qiu, Yuan Shikai angrily agreed to his resignation and appointed Lu Zhengxiang as the second premier, Yang Qiu also quickly appointed him as the chief of civil affairs of the three provinces. Tang Shaoyi also used his influence to attract many talents in civil affairs, and also expanded the three provinces administrative accelerated schools, which had been opened.

At the same time, the joint parliament of the three provinces officially held its first plenary meeting in Wuchang at the end of April, and more than a dozen parliamentarians from Guizhou became the hottest topic. Under the surging political tide, the National Social Democratic Party was formally established in Hankou, and this new party was dazzling as soon as it appeared in the party building in the early years of the Republic of China, not only sweeping the joint parliaments of the three provinces, but also Tang Shaoyi, Zhang Taiyan, Tan Yanhong, Deng Xiaoke, Pu Dianjun, Wang Zhengting and other figures who had important positions and connections in the three provinces also swore to join the National Socialist Party, and the biggest shock came from the Nanjing Guardhouse!

Li Yuanhong was wooed by Sun Wen several times, but finally quickly approached the National Socialist Party and became one of the executive members of the National Socialist Party! The party's chairman, Yang Qiu, was already China's biggest warlord, and when a vice president joined and became a member of the executive committee, the Kuomintang suddenly became the most dazzling party in domestic politics after the Democratic Party.

With the birth of the National Socialist Party, everyone's attention was suddenly focused on the parliamentary election at the end of the year, and even Liang Qichao, who had taken refuge in Japan, returned to China for the first time to form the Progressive Party, which attracted the second largest warlord in the southwest, Cai Yi and the Dian army, and filled the newspapers with competition, propaganda, and various political programs every day.

Militarily, Yang Qiu also did not relax because of financial difficulties, and the new rifle handed over to Germany for improvement was finally finalized with the help of Mauser engineers, and after it was named the 1912 type, he immediately placed an order for 50,000 and 5 million rounds of ammunition to Germany and the United States respectively, and the Hubei Industrial Company, which had completed the initial transformation, quickly abandoned the Hanyang manufacturing and began to manufacture the Type 12 rifle and the new 7.62*51 bullet. After Chen Qimei was forced to resign under pressure, the restrictions of the Shanghai Jiangnan Industrial Company completely disappeared, and Yang Qiu, despite the opposition of the government left behind in Nanjing, moved all the guns and equipment to Chongqing and incorporated them into the Sichuan Industrial Company on the grounds of private industry, and at the same time joined hands with the United States to carry out a major renovation of Jiangnan, expand the dockyard and introduce new equipment.

At the same time that Germany delivered the second batch of Krupp field guns, it also brought all the 300 7.62 mm Madsen light machine guns purchased on behalf of the company, which further strengthened the strength of the troops. The manufacture of mortars has also entered a peak period with the arrival of special steel pipes in the United States, which can deliver as many as 30 units to the army every month, and as for the Japanese Type 92 70mm light mountain gun copied in later generations, samples have finally been manufactured and tests have begun, and the speed will gradually increase after the arrival of the barrels ordered from Germany. Considering the increase in artillery firepower, Yang Qiu used the cooperation in the manufacture of French Snyder 75mm rapid-fire guns as bait, and once again exchanged 108 Krupp 1909 105mm howitzers with Germany, and at the same time introduced all the drawings for imitation.

The heavy and expensive "Miss France" Yang Qiu naturally didn't want it, and after the advent of the 70mm light mountain gun, he even wanted to withdraw Krupp, but its paper data made Germany ecstatic, you must know that this is a new technology that can change the history of artillery! Therefore, more than a dozen artillery experts were immediately transferred from Qingdao to Hanyang, preparing to turn the drawings into real objects as soon as possible, so as to test whether they could really reach the standard of 15 rounds per minute. The Krupp company even said that it would send people from Germany to meet this young genius with unparalleled ability in "artillery design" and comprehensively promote the cooperation between Krupp and Hubei Industrial Group. As for who will be stronger after the meeting of "Miss France" and "Miss Germany" two years later, this is no longer in his consideration.

The weather became as hot as the development of the three provinces.

In the small courtyard by the Wuchang River, Miao Luo just entered the house, and saw Rui Yao wearing a home shirt practicing her fists and feet, her moon-white underwear was tightly wrapped around her body, her breasts bulged out as if she wanted to tear her clothes, her long hair hung down to her waist like flowing water, and under her tight waist was her plump and smooth buttocks wrapped in pants, her strong and smooth legs made her eyes shine, and the spring light was looming between the opening and closing of her fists and feet, and she hurriedly exclaimed: "Senior sister, your body is not yet complete, how can you practice your fists and feet?" ()！ ”

"Where is my sister looking, I don't know which disciple I thought had touched my yard." Rui Yao closed her fist and looked at Miao Luo, seeing her looking at her body in a daze, she was also a little proud in her heart, twenty-four or five years of flowers, her body was ripe like a berry, and her whole body exuded an aura that made men covet, if it wasn't for the early death of her father who had to support the position of the head of the gang, I am afraid that she would have washed her hands and made soup a long time ago.

"The doctors said that it was okay, that they either slept or ate every day, and that they would gain weight if they were inactive." Rui Yao wiped her sweat, because there were still maids outside who were not afraid of outsiders coming, so she didn't put on her coat immediately, and after taking a sip of tea, the crooked crescent moon suddenly picked up, looked at the sky and smiled: "Sister, why are you back at this time?" Did he you off? Tell me, I'll help you scold him. ”

"Senior sister is talking nonsense, he made me angry." Miao Luojiao snorted, stomped her feet and said, "I'm here to pack my things." "Packing up? Rui Yao thought something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Why do you pack up your things? Didn't the old man promise you to stay here, and said that he would come to see him at the end of the year? ”

"Where does Senior Sister want to go, I'm going to go to Guizhou with him for a few days tomorrow morning."

"Oh." Rui Yao deliberately dragged out her voice after hearing this, but her heart was a little sour, and she smiled evilly: "It turned out that it was going to be a double stay and a double flight, great!" Finally, I don't have to look at my sister's sad face and sigh every day, which makes me, a senior sister, anxious with you every day, and I don't even have time to deal with help. ”

"Who sighed with a sad face?" Her wish came true during this time, where is there still a little freedom of the daughter of the rivers and lakes, the whole person looks more and more beautiful, hearing Rui Yao deliberately teasing, stomped her feet and said coquettishly: "Where am I bothering you to deal with help." ”

Rui Yao knew Miao Luo's thoughts best, and walked to the side and hugged her thin waist and smiled: "After taking photos together last time, who was sticking to the head of the bed?" Still hiding under the covers every day to watch? Who runs out early in the morning and comes back in the middle of the night? ”

"I'm going to work ()." Miao Luo's cheeks were dripping with familiarity, and he hurriedly hit back and touched Gao Long's place, and said with a smile: "I think it's also my sister who wants to see it, you see that you are so big." ”

"Dead girl, where do you touch it!"

The two laughed together, and they didn't notice that the maid walked in with Yang Qiu, seeing the two of you chasing me, the temples were messy, and Rui Yao almost leaked the spring light, not only the maid was startled, Yang Qiu also hurriedly coughed a few times and lowered his head.

"Ah~!" The high-pitched voice pierced the eardrums, and it seemed that the injury was completely healed. Rui Yao hurriedly hid behind Miao Luo, and said with a blushing face: "Yang Qiu! Why do you come into my yard casually! Chun Tao, didn't you let you guard outside? ”

The maid Chuntao also held the corners of her mouth, and hurriedly brought her coat and put it on for her and said, "Helper, I just shouted." ”

"Why didn't I hear that?" Rui Yao muttered angrily and twisted Chun Tao fiercely, she was finally at ease with her outer coat and body, but the plump breasts that were not tightly wrapped still completely exposed her curves. Yang Qiu raised his head and saw that she was already dressed, and said with a wry smile: "Gang Master Rui, I have already asked the maid to report just now, and. He looked around and said, "This seems to be my house." ”

Rui Yao was speechless, this was indeed the house that Shen Shukai gave him at the beginning, because he was worried that there would be more party to Jin Leprosy, so after being injured, Yang Qiu placed her here to recuperate, and Miao Luo also lived here after he came, so both of them regarded this place as their own home, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while. The body was not counted by him, and he bit back, so angry that Rui Yao's silver teeth gurgled, and he said strongly: "Even if we live in our house, how can we break into nonsense if there is a difference between men and women." ”

Miao Luo saw that Rui Yao had a great posture to rush people, so he hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Brother Yang, why did you come here suddenly?" What's the matter? ”

"I'm here to discuss the reorganization of the Yangtze River Gang with the Rui Gang Master, if it's inconvenient, forget it." As soon as Yang Qiu finished speaking, Miao Luo hurriedly pulled Rui Yao, and after instructing Chun Tao to pour tea, he said, "Since Brother Yang is here, sit down, Senior Sister just pounced ()." Thinking of the crazy appearance of the two just now, she unconsciously laughed: "Just now it was just for the convenience of practicing fists and feet." ”

"Practicing fists and feet? Rui Gang Master, you are in good health, try to do less strenuous exercise. Yang Qiu cared, but Rui Yao didn't appreciate it, especially listening to his help leader on the left and help leader on the right, he was obviously deliberately distancing the two of them, and sat down opposite with a light snort and asked angrily: "The fourth uncle told me about the reorganization, how to change it?" ”

Looking at Rui Yao, who was huffing, Yang Qiu also had to admit that this was a beautiful woman, with a height of one meter and six five, the proportions were very symmetrical, there was no such incongruity with long legs and short legs, and her figure was even hotter than a wide robe. However, although she is beautiful and matchless, and there is a little ambiguity between the two, today is really here to reorganize the Yangtze River Gang.

In fact, he has already sent someone to inquire about the details of the Yangtze River Gang, although the Yangtze River Gang is a gang, but under the management of the previous gang leaders, it is actually a bit like a transportation company in later generations, with nearly 100 large and small ships, in addition to Hankou, it also covers Chongqing, Changsha, Jiujiang and even Shanghai, and there are at least 10,000 coolies and boatmen under its jurisdiction.

Hubei has been a place of a hundred battles since ancient times, and if you want to hold it for a long time, in addition to a strong military force, you also need to really master this artery flowing with silver!

The total value of the trade in goods related to the waterway of the Yangtze River is staggering, with the annual trade volume of the three towns of Hankou alone reaching hundreds of millions, plus Hunan, Jiangxi and further afield, Sichuan, it is his greatest wish to control this wealth. Therefore, since the beginning of the Hubei War, he has always wanted to change the Yangtze River Gang into his own transportation company. He told Chang Si about this, but because Rui Yao was injured before, it was delayed, and as Han Yeping was taken back, more than a dozen transport ships belonging to Han Yeping needed to be led, so they came.

The two back and forth as if she was going to strip herself naked made Rui Yao a little unbearable, but the reorganization of the Yangtze River Gang involved the foundation that her father had worked so hard to lay, and Chang Si had also mentioned to her many times that the gang was inappropriate, so she didn't want to smash it in her own hands, so she could only bite her red lips and let Yang Qiu's "light" gaze rage back and forth.

After seeing the girl flustered, Yang Qiucai said: "Miss Rui, the Yangtze River Gang has a history of several decades, but now it is the Republic of China, and the management of the gang is no longer in line with the trend of the times, so I think we should start reorganizing as soon as possible." ”

Speaking of business, Rui Yao's expression recovered a lot, and Dai frowned lightly and asked, "How do you change it?" I have more than 10,000 gangs and boatmen in the Yangtze River Gang, plus no less than 50,000 or 60,000 family members. ”

Rui Yao's first thought was to help the people below, it can be seen that she also really wants to do something, Yang Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Miss Rui, the reorganization does not mean that the workers are no longer needed, I mean that you can no longer manage the workers in the loose mode of gangs, and you should change it to a transportation company." ”

"Transport company? You said it simply, running a company is not just a matter of mouth, it requires real money to operate, most of my Yangtze River gang are coolies, or they are short-distance boats, which are not as good as the big ships of foreigners, and they are not as rich as the Japanese, how to compete. ”

"The restructuring is precisely about enhancing competitiveness. You think, now there are many transportation companies on the Yangtze River, large and small, but they are too small and chaotic compared to the UK, so I want to change them. Yang Qiu knew what Rui Yao was worried about, so he opened his slap and deliberately shook it in front of her eyes, and said in a kind and tempting tone: "I'll take 1 million as working capital first, and count my shares." In addition, Han Yeping has more than a dozen large river ships that are responsible for transporting ore and coal, and I am also ready to hand them over to you, so that Han Yeping can specialize in production. I have also ordered more than 20 high-horsepower flat-bottomed river ships in Germany, the United States and Shanghai, and I have also handed them over to you, and when we have money in the future, we will buy ocean-going steamers to develop maritime transportation. Except for a financial manager who I want to arrange, everything else is up to you, how about we work together to make the transportation company stronger? ”

Rui Yao was so dizzy from that big hand that she couldn't grab it and bite it twice to relieve her hatred! 1 million can buy the broken ships in their own gang, not to mention that Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong smashed the pot and sold the iron in order to engage in Han Yeping, and the fleet composed of 2,000 tons of river boats, and also gave themselves the 20 flat-bottomed steamers they bought, so many assets are not enough to pack and sell the Yangtze River Gang, young and old! What the hell is this man trying to do? Does he want to, want himself?!

Thinking of this, Rui Yao felt as if a fire had risen under her lower abdomen, looking at the handsome, long, young but already powerful man in front of her, secretly wishing that it would be good to marry him, but how could she be worthy of her junior sister? She has been the leader of the gang for so many years, she is not a showman, and she frowned: "Your mind is good, but the British are very tight on the river transportation pipe, and I am afraid that there will be conflicts after our reorganization." ”

Yang Qiu nodded, and secretly said that this beautiful big gang leader is not stupid after all, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured of this, first, our current transportation is mainly based on the ore in the three provinces for the time being, and we will not move the big business of the British for the time being, and find a way to grab the business of the Chinese transportation company first, and then slowly dig business from the British when we are strong in the future." ”

Miao Luo is now focused on Yang Qiu, and also said: "Senior sister, what Brother Yang said is a good thing, I don't know much about Jiangshang, but in the United States, all the companies that can do shipping are large companies, and the profits here are very large, not to mention feeding 10,000 people, and it will not be a problem to wait for the business to grow by 100,000." Many transportation companies in the United States have hundreds of thousands of coolies and dock workers alone. ”

The two of you said a word to me Rui Yao nodded and agreed, in fact, she also knew that it was only a matter of time before the gang would die, just look at the fate of the robe buddies who have been rampant for hundreds of years, if it weren't for the Yangtze River Gang's efforts in the Hubei War, I'm afraid that the man in front of him would have forcibly annexed it without even discussing it. After solving the matter of reorganization, she suddenly burst into a smile, looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you are really, and you don't want to help your sister get more benefits, so you are in a hurry to help your man to annex our Yangtze River Gang, really." ”

"Senior sister!" Miao Luo's face was tender, that could be so funny, not to mention that Yang Qiu was still beside him. Yang Qiudao was not embarrassed, and smiled: "Luo'er go and pack up your things, and you will leave for Guizhou in a while." ”

"Now go? Isn't it tomorrow morning? Rui Yao's beautiful eyes dimmed, she still hoped to use the reorganization to stay with Yang Qiu for a while, but she didn't expect to sit for a while before leaving. Seeing Miao Luo happily going upstairs to clean up his things, he didn't know where he got the courage, so he suddenly walked to his side and glared at him fiercely: "After investing so much money and boats, aren't you afraid that I will be cheaper after I get married?" Why don't you marry my sister? ”

"Marry my sister." ……
