Chapter 1 Going to Shanghai (Asking for Subscription)
Yang Xiaolin was seizing the time to rest, Japan and Russia also needed respite, and after the war, every side involved in the battle was exhausted, and there was a rare calm in the northeast.
Yang Xiaolin reorganized his troops and established a force of 15,000 men and a militia of 20,000 in western Liaoning, with Li Debiao as the commander of the detachment in western Liaoning. The quota of the North Manchurian detachment was set at 20,000 people, 30,000 militia, and Qian Yao served as the commander. And 15,000 people and 30,000 militiamen in the eastern Liaodong region, Sui Bing served as the commander of the detachment.
After this expansion, the Volunteer Army has a force of 50,000 men, which is a little heavier for a population of 600,000 women and men, but it is still within the scope of bearing. Yang Xiaolin never expected to use the little grain that the people dug out of the ground to exchange for money to dominate the world.
Another gain of this battle was that it stimulated the development of heavy industry in the base area, and at the same time trained many skilled Jishu workers for the base area. It was a valuable possession, and it was immediately useful as soon as contact with the outside world was opened up after the end of the Russo-Japanese War.
Those overseas Chinese were surprised to find that Yang Xiaolin had not been defeated by the artillery fire of the Russo-Japanese War for more than a year, but had become stronger than before. And Yang Dagui seems to be more mature.
What the former Lunshan needed was their sponsorship, which was unpaid, unrequited. But now it is completely different, Yang Xiaolin clearly told them that if they are really patriotic, they will collect a certain profit when they come to invest in the construction of the factory.
Commander Yang has clearly realized that although the previous model of only letting people pay money and not letting people make money can solve the urgent needs of the moment, it is not conducive to the healthy development of the entire economic system in the base area.
His performance in the economic field clearly did not match his nickname. Those old Maozi who had looked a little wrong with the situation and ran away came back to find that their property was actually counted back for them, and they were all unexpectedly moved.
The purpose of the businessmen's zuihou is to make money, and they also come to the Northeast to make money, and when they are sure that Yang Dagui will not touch their money, they more or less increase their own investment.
And the Japanese.
Yang Xiaolin's loose economic policies also attracted some of the more courageous Japanese businessmen. Although the Japanese emperor is still there to denounce Yang Dagu, the footsteps of Japanese businessmen have stepped into Yang Xiaolin's territory. For those who follow, Yang Xiaolin's attitude is no different from that of the Russians, as long as they do business honestly, their doors will always be open.
All this has stimulated the economic development of the base areas. The lives of the common people are changing day by day, not only in Liaodong, but also in the new base areas of western Liaoning and Jilin, and the common people have also seen tangible benefits.
However, Yang Xiaolin was not satisfied with his current situation of letting the villagers be fed and clothed, and he knew very well in his heart that if he did not have enough comprehensive strength to deter the Japanese and Russians, they would never take their eyes off him.
Don't shoot thieves to steal. I'm afraid that the thief will remember, but this sentence is not false at all.
If you want them not to worry, you must develop a little faster, catch up with them, and at least stand on the same level as them.
It's just that I started too late. The foundation is too weak, and the environment is too poor. In this case, it will take at least five years to catch up with the level of Japan and Russia. He was sure that the Japanese and Russians would not give him five years, so he could only take the more convenient path and make himself develop faster.
People have no windfall and no wealth, and horses have no night grass and no fat. This is very true. The only way to do business is to establish a sound economic system and prepare for future development. And now, he has to rely on the night grass. Rely on windfall to make yourself grow faster! …,
Even though the war is over, the motors of the Volunteers in the Tonghua Arsenal are still running day and night. Yang Xiaolin held a cigarette in his mouth, stood still under the sign that said "Ming Ban Fireworks", looked at the pile of machine guns, and had a smile on his face: "Is the number enough?" ”
Chen De followed beside him and said, "Commander, don't worry. A thousand, a lot of one! ”
Yang Xiaolin walked over and picked up a machine gun: "This commander asked the Russians and Japanese to borrow equipment before. Someday they're going to come to us to buy weapons! Now as it is, the Russians want a thousand machine guns, and it is estimated that little Japan will come soon! ”
Chen De smiled: "Commander, if the Japanese come, shall we sell it or not?" ”
Yang Xiaolin glanced at Chen De: "Sell!" Of course sell. Sell the old to them so that we can make the new. ”
He picked up the machine gun and made an aiming motion, the corners of his mouth trembled and a little soot fell, Chen De hurriedly caught it with his hand: "Commander, be careful, smoking is not allowed here!" ”
Yang Xiaolin realized that he may have been used to smoking under the sign prohibiting smoking, and now he has habitually made mistakes. After listening to this, he hurriedly put the cigarette in his mouth and took two puffs, then threw it on the ground and stepped on the cigarette butt.
Yang Xiaolin continued: "You all quit these parts of the arsenal on the surface, and you don't want to get involved in this kind of business in the future." As for the money, I'll give it to you. ”
Chen De was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Yang Xiaolin meant. The arms business is a desperate business, and those who buy arms and those who sell arms are basically outlaws, and Commander Yang had no way to cooperate with them before, but now that the situation has improved a little, his safety was immediately taken into account.
This made Chen De feel that Yang was very righteous in fighting ghosts, of course he was not worried that Yang Xiaolin would hack his part, because Yang Xiaolin didn't need it at all, and he wouldn't do that.
"Hey! Commander Xiexie! ”
Yang Xiaolin glanced back at the machine guns: "Put these guys away for me, and give twenty rounds of ammunition to the Russians in each machine gun to test the gun. ”
The two of them came out of the workshop as they spoke, and saw Nyerere running from the front: "Commander." We've been looking for you. ”
Yang Xiaolin hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Nyerere shook his head: "There is no accident, but two telegrams were sent together, and the above matters have to be decided by you personally." ”
After Nyerere finished speaking, he took out two telegrams from his pocket and handed them to Yang Xiaolin.
To be honest, Yang Xiaolin has a respect for Nyerere. To put it mildly, people came from Beijing with them, and now they can be regarded as veterans of the base area, and they talk about international righteousness. Bigger. In the future, if you really succeed, you will be an international friend who dedicates herself to the cause of the Chinese revolution!
During this military reorganization, he asked Nyerere if he would like to be the commander of the detachment, and if Nyerere was willing, he would choose one of the three teams. Yang Xiaolin believes that he will be able to do it.
But Nyerere himself refused this request, saying that as long as he took the special operations team that Yang Xiaolin handed over to him, as long as Yang Xiaolin could support him like he did in the future, he would be very happy.
A foreigner helps himself to this extent, Yang Xiaolin really has nothing to say about it.
Taking the two telegrams from Nyerere's hands and looking at them, Yang Xiaolin's brows furrowed. A telegram was sent by Sun Wen. Sun Wen said: As for the things that were said before about merging the Xingzhonghui, Huaxinghui, and some other small institutions with the aim of building a brand-new China into one large organization, we have now done almost the same. …,
Originally, they planned to hold a meeting in Japan, but considering the Japanese emperor's current attitude towards Yang Xiaolin, Yang Xiaolin may not be suitable to go to Japan. So they set the meeting place in the French Concession in Shanghai.
Sun Wen hoped that Yang Xiaolin would definitely participate, because as the leader of the Volunteer Army, Yang Xiaolin now had enough weight. His participation can make the organization appear to be more than just words, and it can increase the prestige of the organization.
At the same time, Sun Wen said that he felt really lost and had some problems during this period of time. I want to discuss it with Yang Xiaolin. Of course, if Yang Xiaolin can't go to Shanghai, he can send someone to go. In the future, he can come to Liaoping and Yang Xiaolin to discuss.
The second telegram was sent by Robert. Yang Xiaolin has been waiting for Mr. Robert to come to the Northeast, and then discuss with him how to make his arms business break out of Asia and go to Shijie.
You must know that Japan and Russia were also two poor countries in this era, and they could not make much money selling weapons themselves.
But now Mr. Robert said he could not come, and he had said he was going to pick up Mr. Hamilton, but now his business in Shanghai was in a bit of a problem. Moreover, after Yang Xiaolin unconditionally released those European military observers, he no longer worried about Mr. Hamilton's safety. He probably felt that his business was relatively important, so he asked Yang Xiaolin to find a ship to send the English earl to Shanghai.
Yang Xiaolin put away the two telegrams. Robert obviously didn't know what he was going to do with him, and Yang Xiaolin didn't say anything in the telegram. If he says it, I believe that this scoundrel, who has now entered the British high society, will definitely come.
Because even if he wears a suit now, he's a hooligan.
Yang Xiaolin put the telegram away: "It seems that I have to go to Shanghai." ”
Yang Xiaolin felt that he really needed to go to Shanghai, first of all, he had to meet with Robert, and the arms sales channel had to be opened, and the issue of the distribution of profits could not be clearly explained in a few words.
There is also about Sun Wen, Yang Xiaolin knows the value of the alliance that Sun Wen is about to form in history, regardless of whether they do things well or not, but these people did do it, and the imperial system was ended by them, and no one can deny this.
Now he is going to participate in the formation of the alliance, and he wants to reach a consensus with Sun Wen and let Sun Wen support his methods.
Can he change Sun Wen? Yang Xiaolin has no confidence in this, because Sun Wen is persistent.
Let's talk about it first, it would be better if we could cooperate, and I believe that things will go more smoothly. There are many people, and Liliang is always bigger.
I don t know weishenme, a face suddenly appeared in front of yang xiaolin's eyes, and the face was still clear, her name was shen dan, and this name yang xiaolin thought for a while before remembering.
