Chapter 54 Southern Tour 4

After departing from Guangzhou, the train did not stop in Xining. The train passed the Zhennan Pass and entered the territory of Annam Province, and everyone began to get excited again. Li Hongzhang looked at the mountains and mountains outside and said: "Annan has been incorporated into the Chinese territory, and the South China Sea has almost become our inner lake, and time is reincarnated. After the Han Dynasty, if Annam was about to leave, the Ming and Qing dynasties returned from several expeditions, and had to take Annam as a vassal. After the French ruled Annam, they completely broke away from the mother. Now Annan's return is a reincarnation. ”

Qin Fan said: "President, there is a question that has always puzzled me, I remember 20 years ago, when you spoke and spoke, you sneered at the Annan people, and today you are the same with the Annan people, what are you talking about?" Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "This is a precautionary move." Chinese culture has influenced them for thousands of years and has never been assimilated, while the French conquered by force, but they were submissive. This shows that they need iron and blood in their bones, otherwise it will be difficult to tame. The move is meant to be done once and for all. ”

Li Hongzhang said: "I agree with the president's measures, there is a good saying, poor people must have something to hate, this is a hundred-year plan, a thousand-year plan." It was the French who did us a great favor, and it was the right time to solve the Annan problem once and for all, and it can be said that the external and internal conditions were the best times. "Master Li is worthy of being a political elite, to the point, to solve the Annan problem, the French are indeed indispensable, we are almost at our fingertips, let the historians evaluate in the future, this responsibility is probably on the French, and it is we who have obtained huge benefits!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Li Hongzhang continued: "Ouyang Feng, Governor of Annan, I don't know this person. I heard that he has been in office for more than a year and has made remarkable achievements. President. Ouyang Feng, as your disciple, is probably the most vocal? Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Ouyang Feng, as a student of the first phase of the Tongren Academy, is not well-known compared with Lin Xu and others. However, he has made outstanding achievements in the position of vice governor of Anhui Province and belongs to the rising star. Ouyang Feng was strongly recommended by me to serve as the governor of Annan. ”

"It seems that the president has a full idea of Annan's future development," Li Hongzhang asked. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "It is a war period, and it is impossible to discuss many development plans in a centralized manner, so I can only go beyond the norm." Before Ouyang Feng took office, I summoned him in the capital. I gave him a detailed explanation of Annan's future development. Ouyang Feng took office at the beginning of Annan. He encountered the problem of large-scale migration, and the aftermath of the immigrants has been handled very well for more than a year, which can prove his ability. ”

Deng Zixuan continued: "Ouyang Feng is a role model. In the future, we will not rank officials on the basis of seniority, but will focus on promoting officials as long as they have both ability and political integrity and outstanding achievements. As for the direction of Annan's development in the future, I would like to express my thoughts in a superficial manner. Although the northern part of Annam is rich in iron ore resources. Considering the environmental pollution of Annam by industrialization. I decided not to build a steel plant in Annam, where the iron ore produced was mainly supplied to the Dongguan Iron and Steel Plant. ”

"The whole territory of Annam is located in the tropical and subtropical regions, and the main economic development in the future will be agriculture and tourism, and the focus will be on the development of tourism, which should complement the tourism industry of Hainan Island. With the rapid development of the domestic economy, the people who have become wealthy will spontaneously form a tourist army. In particular, the rapid development of our transportation industry has brought convenient conditions to the tourism industry. After the end of the war. We need to set up statutory holidays to promote the faster development of the tourism industry. ”

"The economic development of the empire in the future. It is necessary to make an overall layout according to local conditions. Taking Annam as an example, tourists from the inland will bring a lot of money to Annam in the future. The light industrial products and daily necessities produced on the mainland will not only boost maritime and land transportation, but also boost the growth rate of the mainland's economy. Within 10 years, the domestic demand of the empire will probably become saturated, and the overseas market will also mature at that time, and it is logical for inland enterprises to enter the overseas market on a large scale after experience. ”

Kuang Jiazhi said: "President, our Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has drawn up an agricultural plan for the next 10 years in Annan, in addition to the development plan of the planting industry, agricultural deep processing should also be put on the agenda. In addition, the South China Sea is rich in fishery resources, and marine fishing and deep processing of fisheries should also be studied. This time, I would like to go to Governor Annam to make a strategic plan for the development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and sideline fisheries, and to formulate a long-term development plan. ”|

Li Hongzhang said: "President, I am a layman in the economic field, and such a strategic layout can be called a big deal and exciting. Qin Fan said: "According to the president's idea, this time I came to Annan, I also want to carry out the layout of commerce and trade, and take advantage of the advantages of the Annan coast to quickly open up the sea transportation channel of Annan." Imperial Marine Transport Company is to build branches in the northern, central, and southern parts of Annam. At present, a shipyard in Guangzhou is about to launch two large passenger ships, all of which will be put into operation on the Guangzhou-Annam route, which will first make personnel exchanges more convenient, and then promote the development of the retail industry. ”

When it comes to the economic development of the empire, there is never an end to the topic of this topic. The special train passed through Liangshan, and the front suddenly opened up. The special train entered the plain area, and the speed was significantly accelerated. When the special train arrived in Hanoi, the gongs and drums were noisy at the station, and the news of the arrival of President Deng Zixuan and his entourage had already been hyped up through the media, arousing the appetite of the people. The special train slowly stopped at Hanoi Station, and was greeted by Ouyang Feng, Governor of Annam, and Liu Yongfu, Commander of the National Defense Forces of Annam, on the platform.

After getting out of the car, Deng Zixuan talked to Ouyang Feng's relatives. "Report to the president, meet your subordinates!" Liu Yongfu, the commander of Annan, saluted with a fat tank-like body, looking a little funny. Deng Zixuan stepped forward to hold Liu Yongfu's hand and teased: "Commander Liu, I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, but you are lucky again, it's time to lose weight!" "President, there is no way to drink cold water to gain weight!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this. Deng Zixuan said to everyone: "Annan's smooth return to the imperial territory is indispensable, and General Liu has made great contributions, so everyone must remember it firmly." "The last general does not dare to take credit, it is completely the wise leadership of the president." Liu Yongfu didn't dare to make a mistake.

When the motorcade entered the neighborhood, the crowd cheered, often causing traffic congestion. Wan'er sighed in the car: "I didn't expect the people of Annan to support us so much, just like the feeling of being in China." Wan Chuan, who was sitting in the front row, said: "Madam, at present, the number of Han residents in Hanoi has reached 70%, and it is normal for such a scene to occur. "I've heard about immigration, Zixuan, isn't it too inhumane to do this?" Wan'er questioned from a woman's perspective.

Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "This involves the long-term national policy of the empire, which looks inhumane on the surface, but in fact, it is for the long-term peace and stability of Annan." The absence of turmoil and the absence of soil for careerists to thrive is the greatest humanity. People need to live in peace, and that's all I have to do. Wan Chuan said: "President, do you have the idea of summoning King Annan?" "No, if King Annan wants to see me in the future, he can only go to the capital!" Deng Zixuan refused.

On the same day, Governor Ouyang Feng and Commander Liu Yongfu held a banquet to entertain Deng Zixuan and his party. At the banquet, Deng Zixuan said: "Everyone, the smooth return of Annan marks the integrity of the empire's territory, and the dreams of our ancestors are now realized in our hands, which is the trend of the times and the desire of the people." For more than a year, I have been very satisfied with Annam's effective management and proper post-war resettlement, and the next step for Annam will be a period of economic recovery and large-scale construction. At present, it is impossible for the central government of the empire to provide a large amount of funds to meet the development of Nanyang, which is driven by inland private funds. ”

"Regarding Annan's economic development in the next few years, the government has formulated a long-term plan. At present, the top priority is infrastructure construction, and my consortium has decided to invest in infrastructure construction in Annam, and several other major domestic consortia have also agreed to invest in Annam, which in turn will lead to private investment??????。 In the following days, Kuang Jiazhi, Qin Fan and the provincial governor began to discuss the economic development framework of Annan. Deng Zixuan and Li Hongzhang didn't have anything to do, they went downstream to play in the mountains and rivers accompanied by Liu Yongfu.

On this day, when the crowd walked in front of a chic temple, they saw a house with pillars in front of a long sliding door, and the stone steps in front of it looked very shabby. Liu Yongfu said: "This is the temple of Mrs. Annan Erzheng, the incense is not very prosperous, but there are also people who come to worship. Li Hongzhang said: "There are records about the Han Dynasty historical records of the second Zheng wife, it is said that the two sisters of the Zheng family were born in a family of generals in the Han Dynasty, and they were exposed to military skills and the tyranny of Han Dynasty officials since they were young, and they began to give birth to a heart of resistance. ”

"The two sisters of the Zheng family are called Zheng Bian and Zheng Er respectively. Zhengbian's husband was executed for opposing the assimilation and oppression of the locals by Han officials. In the sixteenth year of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty (40 AD), the Zheng sisters rose up and drove away local officials. The people from all over the country responded, and then took 65 cities from the Han people, proclaimed themselves the king of Zheng, and successfully maintained the regime for three years, known as the Zheng Dynasty in history. After that, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty sent Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo, and others to lead 8,000 Han troops and more than 10,000 Jiaozhi soldiers and 2,000 vehicles and ships. ”

Li Hongzhang is very familiar with the historical traces of the two Zheng sisters, and the explanation is also very clear. "President, let's go in and have a look!" Liu Yongfu asked. "There's nothing to look at, tear down this temple!" Deng Zixuan was thoughtful. The crowd was stunned. Deng Zixuan continued: "In the future, all traces of Annan's so-called heroic resistance to the mainland should be diluted, and they should not appear publicly in the media and books. It is necessary to vigorously propagate the positive energy of friendship and regain the history of Annan to its original appearance. ”

Li Hongzhang understood Deng Zixuan's intention and praised: "The president is a far-sighted hike, and no one can match it. Liu Yongfu was still confused, but Li Hongzhang didn't know that he couldn't ask in detail. During the dinner in the evening, Deng Zixuan said to Li Hongzhang: "Lord Li is a bosom friend, some things can only be metaphorical but not explicit, how to prevent people from making noise among the people is a long-term measure to stabilize Annan." "I understand the president's intention to fully adopt Chinese education in Annan, which is a top priority."

Deng Zixuan and his entourage stayed in Hanoi for 10 days, then boarded a warship in Haiphong and headed for the Republic of Lan Phuong. (To be continued......)

PS: If you want Annan to have long-term peace and stability, brainwashing is the top priority.
