The problem that Yang Du is facing now is that this is a big business, the business of 300 million Chinese people, even if it is thirty silver dollars per person, it is an astronomical amount! Which bank will do the right thing?

None of China's own banks have the strength, even if they join forces. If they don't have the strength to take over this job, they may end up harming themselves and the land reform.

Let foreign banks do it? Getting foreign money into China's reforms? Even if Yang Huizi had the courage, he would not dare to make such a decision.

At present, the national sentiment in China as a whole is high, and even blind in some areas. Once people know that you have put all your land in a foreign bank, Yang Du doesn't care about infamy, but he knows that Lu Dao is likely to lose his life.

Yang Du sighed: "It's all about money." If we had traded hundreds of millions of pounds a year like the British, we wouldn't have to worry about it. ”

Sheng Huaixuan smiled: "Actually, when Commander Yang first told me about this plan, I knew that we might face a lot of problems, this is just the beginning, and we will definitely have more difficulties in the future." In fact, the solution of land is the simplest with Yuan Shikai's method, a paper order to go down, the land is re-measured, and distributed according to the capitation, and it is estimated that it will be done in two or three months. ”

Yang Du glanced at him and was surprised: "Elder Sheng, then you still support Commander Yang?" Are you still here with me to investigate? You're not here to relax, are you? ”

Sheng Huaixuan said: "How dare you, how dare you! I support Commander Yang sincerely, the reason, I only say four words: born of adversity. ”

Sheng Huaixuan is a typical representative of Chinese national businessmen, people like him have a broad vision, a more comprehensive understanding of the world than ordinary people, they hope that China can become rich and strong, hope that China can catch up with the West, and hope that they can go abroad in the future to trade with foreigners on an equal footing, and they are willing to pay their own efforts for this goal.

He compared the practices of Yuan Shikai and Sun Wen and Yang Xiaolin. Lao Yuan basically followed the means of changing the dynasty in China, although some modern elements were added to the system, but because of his feudalism, he did not change the medicine. It is precisely because of this that Yuan Shikai has thousands of years of experience on some issues that he can learn from, and according to his path, many problems in China can be solved in a short period of time.

Sun Wen is copying the experience of the West, and the policies of these two people have reference cases. Only Yang beat the ghost, and when Yang beat the ghost and said that set of plans, Sheng Huaixuan found that the implementation of that set of plans must be difficult, but Sheng Huaixuan still chose Yang Xiaolin. Because in his opinion, Yang Xiaolin is taking a small road. It's a path full of thorns.

China has been scarred by the bandits of the West, Sheng Huaixuan Zhizhi said, Yuan Shikai's policy and Sun Wen's method are very safe, because they are safe, so they can't catch up with the West at all, you are already a lot behind others, you can't continue to follow the original path, and you can't run behind others.

Now that China wants to catch up, copying a small path is the only hope. Maybe China will go wrong. Maybe the boat will capsize, but Sheng Huaixuan thinks it should be a gamble. If you can't catch up with the West, sooner or later you will be beaten by others.

And during this period of time, Sheng Huaixuan felt more and more that he had chosen the right one, and Yang's plan to fight ghosts was very immature. But the biggest advantage of these people in the Northeast is that they admit their mistakes and correct them as long as they make mistakes! With this attitude, no matter how many problems you face, you will not be terrible.

Yang Du obviously understood the meaning of Sheng Huaixuan's words, and Xiaoxiao didn't ask any further. After taking a sip of tea, he said: "First use our own bank, according to this idea to do a good job in this pilot area, and then promote it to the whole country, whether it is a foreigner's bank to do it or we will do it ourselves." Let Commander Yang decide. ”

Sheng Huaixuan snorted: "Okay." What are you going to do in Beijing? Sun Wen has already arrived at the barracks, is it okay to do it? ”

Yang Du shook his head slightly: "No, it's not the time yet. Seriously, I don't have a good impression of those guys, we have to wait for Yuan Shikai to drain their blood before we make a move, otherwise we may have to solve this trouble ourselves in the future. Sun Wen, I don't care, Xingtai is a brother for eight years, so I have to talk about friendship. ”

"Oh, so what are we going to do now?"

"Wait and see."

In the middle of March of the first year of the Republic, this period of time was really painful for the people of Beijing. China's political turmoil seemed to show no end in sight, with troops inside the city and troops outside the city continuing to confront each other, with Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai blaming each other across the walls. If this had only affected their lives before, with the Beiyang government's purge of democrats in the city officially began, the whole of Beijing seemed to feel some kind of fear.

Lao Yuan was really ruthless, and on the second day after he made his decision, more than 100 democrats were tried, and the scene of the public trial was really lively, and the fighters for democracy were brought up one by one, some of them debated in the courtroom with righteous words, and some wept bitterly at the scene of the public trial saying that they were wrong, that they were sorry for the president, sorry for the people, and they were all harmed by Sun Wen.

Then the police on the streets began to register from house to house, and those who had participated in the pro-democracy march some time ago were basically arrested and put in jail whenever they were reported. Lao Yuan even set up a reporting point and an anonymous reporting box, and anyone who reported the democrats hiding in Beijing was rewarded heavily.

This time it really exploded, the fate of the big guys has nothing to do with themselves, the people are just worried about themselves, did the neighbors report me? That guy had a fight with me the other day, will he go to the government and frame me as a democrat? No, I still have a wife and children at home, so I can't be arrested and sent to prison. Is it safest to report him first?

The hearts of the people are terrified, and they are deeply afraid that they will suffer unjustified calamity.

At this time, the people of Beijing feel that they need a force, a force that can quell this political turmoil. We don't want to participate in the competition of your big guys, but you have already affected our lives, and we don't care who is right or wrong, we just want it to end quickly.

The feeling was the same as that of the Russian army in Mongolia.

Mongolia in March was not too cold, the ice on the river had basically melted, some tender grass had sprouted, and the good weather had become more convenient for the supply of the Chinese troops, but for the surrounded Russian army, it had reached the point of exhaustion.

The encirclement of the Chinese had been compressed, and the Russian troops no longer had any hope of breaking out, and after ten days of fighting, all four armies of the Caucasian Army that had been cut out of the army were annihilated. As a result, Kizerosky not only had no ammunition, no supplies, but even had no advantage in numbers.

Medicines and food have long since run out, and a large number of soldiers die every day from hunger and disease, and the sanitary conditions are extremely poor, and many more healthy soldiers are also infected with diseases. Yang Dagui has now stopped attacking, and the Chinese troops have not fought the Russians anymore after they have been surrounded like iron buckets, but have let the Russians fight hunger and disease in such an unsurvivable situation.

Kizeroski looked at the troops around him, but what he heard in his ears was the voice of the loudspeaker on the other side:

"Fellow Russians! My comrades-in-arms! I am Captain Trotsky of the 157th Regiment of the Caucasian Front. I want to tell you. The Chinese are very friendly to us! They didn't abuse us, for the sake of your families, lay down your arms......

"Do you really think you're protecting the country? Compatriots, think about our lives now, where you are fighting for Nicholas II, but your families are subject to their exploitation! You are charging with your guns and your lives, but those noble generals are behind you with your lives to increase your ranks! While you are hungry on the front lines, they are still seducing women with food......

"Compatriots, our worst enemy is not the Chinese. It's the Tsar who treats us as slaves! Stop shedding any more blood for him, what you should do is rise up against the Tsar's rule! Put down your guns and stand with us! Here you will fight for your happiness and your family! ”

Kizeroski listened to the shouting from the other side, and he noticed that many of his soldiers were listening. As soon as the words of the fellows were spoken, he knew that these people were Russian revolutionaries. It is not surprising that Yang Xiaolin used this method. To his surprise, Yang Xiaolin actually found this group of people to cooperate! Their ability to demagogue is really much stronger than their ability to fight!

Is the revolution really so important? Is it important enough to give up the interests of one's own country and cooperate with a devil? Kizeroski sighed and didn't say anything, he really had a feeling that there was no way to heaven and no door to enter the earth.

He didn't want to hold on anymore because he couldn't see hope. He couldn't stand the torment. Just now he had sent a telegram to the Tsar, asking him to allow him to lead the surviving Russian forces to surrender. But Nicholas II still did not agree.

In fact, some of the operational concepts of the Russian troops are similar to those of us Chinese, especially on the issue of surrender. In many cases, it is equated with mutiny. Yang Xiaolin also did not allow the soldiers to surrender, so he said that the group of soldiers who surrendered in the Beiyang Army, although Lao Yuan gave them heroic treatment after returning to Beijing, Yang Xiaolin didn't say anything at that time, but later this group of people had been quietly transferred to the second line by him.

Commander Yang always believed that after a soldier surrendered once, he would choose to surrender again when he was in danger the second time.

Nicholas II told Kizerosky that he did not believe that the Chinese would treat Russian prisoners of war, so he preferred to hear that Kizerosky and his soldiers wanted to defend Russian honor with the most desperate wishes.

In order to keep Kizerosky alive, Nikolai also promoted him to the rank of marshal, from general to marshal. He demanded that Kizerosky hold out until one soldier and one shot.

Looking at the tsar's appointment, Kizerosky really had a feeling of crying and laughing. Grant yourself the rank of marshal at this time? It seems that there is no other meaning than to make the Chinese's results look more brilliant.

The clerk ran over from the front: "Report, the Chinese side has issued us another ultimatum demanding that we surrender unconditionally. ”

Kizeroski noticed that the officers around him were looking at him with a wistful look, and he knew very well what that look. (To be continued......)
