"Humble words, if you want to fight for the world, you must have the world in mind, even if you can't level a bowl of water, but you can't just take care of the three eastern provinces, whether it is the army, or the economy, you must have a national vision, otherwise you only know how to reuse your own people, it will cause centrifugal detachment, whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or the Beiyang, they have made fatal mistakes in this point, and they can't unify the world, and there will be more and more enemies, and they will emerge in endlessly."

Speaking of this, Wang Yongjiang smiled again: "Humble words, it's really good that you can realize this early." To tell you the truth, I'm really afraid that after you defeat Russia and Japan in a row, you will follow the path of the overlord of Chu. ”

I'm afraid that only Wang Yongjiang dares to talk to Zhang Tinglan like this in this world, Xiang Yuli can pull out the mountain, 72 battles, all of them are invincible, swept the world, embraced beauties, conquered the world, and was an example for many men, but he was defeated by Liu Bang, and there are too many things to think about.

For Zhang Tinglan, the most worthy reference is that Xiang Yu will only be an overlord, not a king, which is the reason for too much failure. The Feng army is also in this position now, and if it can't complete the transformation, no matter how powerful the army is, Zuihou will be exhausted.

It's like a certain prince who has an empty space before and after, and he can defeat the warlord every time, but on the contrary, the old warlord has not been killed, and a large number of new warlords have emerged. The entire history of the KMT is a history of constant vicious splits, and Zuihou has consumed all his limited strength.

"Mr. Min Yuan's lesson is that I am ready to carry out a major change of blood in the army and the government, especially some high-ranking officials in the three eastern provinces, all of whom must be transferred to Guannai to break the geographical barrier, and I am also ready to upgrade the border guards to the national defense force, and at the same time expand the strength to 32 divisions, in addition to the original troops of the Feng army. Ten more divisions were recruited from the Guannai to form a constraint. ”

Wang Yongjiang smiled and nodded: "I don't know much about the affairs of the army, but I think there must always be a mentality of embracing all rivers, although there are a lot of chaos in the direct army, but there are not many problems with middle and lower-level officers, you might as well let Baili come over and draw up a whole army." ”

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he also nodded frequently, Jiang Baili was the principal of Baoding Military Academy. The prestige is very high, and among the direct lineage, with the Baoding Military Academy as the backbone, if it can be retracted, it will be able to balance the situation of the Feng family's dominance. Definitely very haode recommended.

"I immediately sent a telegram to the chief of staff and asked him to enter Beijing immediately. But Mr. Min Yuan. Your development on the Kannai. I don't have any opinions, I'm waiting for you to come up with a plan for me! ”

Wang Yongjiang smiled slightly: "Humble words, I have indeed thought about this for a long time, from the current point of view, the area we can control is basically the three provinces of North China, including Zhilu and Henan, plus the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River." The other two Guang and Yunguichuan are a little beyond the reach of the whip. According to my thoughts, it is better to put these border areas on hold for the time being, concentrate on Liliang, and let the Central Plains and Jiangnan develop steadily. At that time, our industrial strength will at least double. It won't be too long, three or five years will be about the same, and by then the world will be unified, and it will be unstoppable! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Tinglan also nodded frequently, at present, whether it is financial or military strength, they are not ready, not to mention that there are enemies with the great powers, if the army is sent to the southwest, it will only make the Central Plains empty, and Zhang Tinglan has long wanted to recuperate, but the war has continued, and it has been delayed until now, the troops are exhausted to the extreme, and they should indeed recover well.

After some discussion with Wang Yongjiang, Zhang Tinglan's thinking has been very clear, the three provinces of Zhilu and Henan are the base camp of Beiyang, which developed very early, and also has a considerable industrial and educational foundation, including the Gongxian Arsenal and the famous Beiyang University, which are all foundations that can be used. Moreover, the north is relatively rich in iron resources, according to Jihua, here will focus on the development of heavy industry, the construction of three iron and steel plants, and at the same time vigorously exploit the coal resources of Shanxi, the establishment of thermal power plants, for use in North China.

Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai have long been the most dynamic areas in China's economy, and the development conditions are also very good, but there is also a problem, that is, the Yangtze River Delta is too close to the ocean, and China's navy is insufficient to protect it. In addition, there is a strong comprador group, which is a major obstacle to the development of industry.

According to Wang Yongjiang's idea, the areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will mainly develop light industries that produce quick results, gradually crack down on comprador groups, and wait until the national strength is enhanced, and then increase investment in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

When Zhang Zhidong served as the governor of Huguang, he invested in the Hanyang Iron Works, Hubei weaving layout, and supported the light and heavy industrial pattern.

Zhang Tinglan is also ready to use this foundation to invest heavily in Wuhan, of course, Wuhan also has an advantage, that is, it is located in the central region, and there is basically no need to consider security, and even compared with the three eastern provinces, this has an advantage, so it can establish a number of national defense industries without scruples.

"Mr. Min Yuan, it stands to reason that you are well-deserved Prime Minister of the Cabinet, but the Yangtze River, a water dragon vein, has a great relationship, and I don't feel at ease when I hand it over to others, so I can only let you go out in person, so I can only be wronged and hang the post of vice premier first."

Wang Yongjiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let Tang Shaochuan be the prime minister, in fact, it is better than me, at least it can reassure the people of Southern Province." In addition, I want to do something practical, and it doesn't matter if I'm famous. However, I would like to remind you that the task in North China is not lighter than that in Jiangnan, and the three provinces of Zhi, Shandong, and Henan are all provinces with large populations, many people and few places, and sharp contradictions. When the Republic of China was just established, there was a white wolf rebellion, and it was not so easy to govern the Central Plains, not to mention that there was a Yellow River that often flooded, but it was all a big trouble! ”

"Mr. Min Yuan is right, I am ready to implement a new land policy in these three provinces, so that landless peasants can obtain land."

Wang Yongjiang sighed: "The land has to be moved, but there is a wide range of implications, and the inside of the customs is not better than the outside of the customs. ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Of course I chose it, it's Yan Xishan!" ”

Wang Yongjiang was also taken aback when he heard this: "Humble words, you're not joking, didn't Yan Xishan just make a big mistake and almost lost the capital, are you still going to use him?" ”

"Do you have to make meritorious deeds! If he hadn't been guilty of this, I'd be afraid he wouldn't have worked. ”

When Wang Yongjiang heard this, he also slapped his palm: "This is right, Yan Xishan still has the ability to manage internal affairs, if he is really willing to do it, this Central Plains region can rest assured." ”

"Mr. Min Yuan, there is another important matter, I plan to refer to the civil service examination methods of the three eastern provinces, promote it to the Guannai, and recruit a large number of civil servants to fill the vacancies."

"Okay, this method is very right, all dynasties, as long as after the founding of the country, no matter how the world has not been completely unified, the imperial examination will be held, which is a good idea to win people's hearts. Especially when I had an unpleasant relationship with the academic community several times, admitting more young people can be regarded as easing the conflict. ”

Zhang Tinglan and Wang Yongjiang discussed the major matters properly, and the Beijing government, which had restored order, began to operate at high speed. The direct line completely collapsed, although the foreigners were called Huan, but they did not mean to send troops to declare war, and Zhang Tinglan ushered in another big victory.

Some people are foreseeing, and some people are aware of it, but no matter who they are, except for a very small number of people who are unconscious, everyone understands a truth, that is, the unification of the world by the army has become an inevitable trend, and no one can reverse it, not even foreigners.

If you don't make the right choice at this time, you will be a bastard, so after this storm, most of the officials who are not determined have been cleared out, and the rest of the people are all trembling and playing with life.

As a result of the hard work of these men, the Government was able to function quickly and efficiently, the scattered rebels were cleared, the Government quickly restored the devastation of the war, and a new system for civil service examinations was promulgated.

The media also reported on it one after another, and more importantly, with Wang Yongjiang entering Beijing, he took out another 50 million yuan from the Ministry of Finance and the Fengtian Development Bank. In addition, Zhang Tinglan signed a railway construction agreement with the Americans.

The Ninghan Railway and the Sichuan-Han Railway were to introduce American capital, which also marked the official extension of the Americans' hand to the Yangtze River valley, while the British were driven out. At the same time, a trade agreement was signed, which provided for the expansion of economic exchanges between the two sides and allowed the United States to invest in the Yangtze River basin. The American consortium that got this piece of cake was simply ecstatic, and they immediately provided Zhang Tinglan with a loan of 30 million US dollars.

At the same time, the U.S. government also actively stepped forward and played the role of a mediator, resolutely opposing Britain's clamor for the use of force, and the British were not fools, the chess pieces in their hands were all tossed and gone, and there was not enough liliang, so they could only sit down and negotiate.

In addition, the Feng army also held a group of British prisoners, including nearly 1,000 British sailors captured in two naval battles, as well as more than a dozen intelligence officers.

With these captives in their hands, the British were also rat-throwers. And what annoyed them the most was that the Japanese actually signed an agreement with Fengjun first, and hastily ended the matter of the Izumo.

In fact, this is not to blame the Japanese, their spies fell into the hands of China more, once it made trouble, it was unreasonable, and Zhang Tinglan was also very generous, saying that he could not pursue this incident, and still sell the ore of Maoshan Iron Mine to Japan, but the price concession was canceled, and Zhang Tinglan also promised to return the spies to Japan,

However, in exchange for Chinese working in Japan, the Japanese had to agree, and China had a large number of talents studying in Japan, and a large number of science and engineering talents returned to China and could not find employment, so they stayed in Japan.

This time, Zhang Tinglan returned all these people, a total of more than 400 people, plus their families, more than 1,000 people returned to China, and at this time, it was only five months before the Kanto earthquake...... (To be continued......)
