"After this battle, I'm afraid that the problem of money should be almost solved." Xu Jie sat in the captain's room that Lin Yongsheng gave up and whispered. Although the Beiyang side of this war can not be said to get rich overnight, but the debts and war expenses over the years must have been paid for, whether it is Beiyang or the merchants who maintain an alliance with Beiyang, they can get certain benefits from the war, and with the relaxation of the Qing center's private mining and factory establishment, these pioneers of national industry with funds and markets will definitely get better development.

Although the problem of people and talent is not as surplus as in the field of capital, after about five years of accumulation, Beiyang, Taiwan and Liangguang still have some reserves of new-style technical personnel, especially military personnel, and these officers and men of the navy and army who have experienced many bloody battles are definitely a fortune! As for other kinds of engineering and technical personnel, some have also been trained by Beiyang in the Tianjin Machinery Bureau and the branch in Italy. It is necessary to bring in technical personnel, vigorously develop education, and especially to emancipate the mind, but at the same time, it also takes time.

Then the rest is a matter of territory, in Xu Jie's plan, for the future development, Xu Jie needs the Beiyang Alliance to grasp more local administrative power, from the current point of view, Beiyang can really control only Zhili, Liangguang and Taiwan. Sichuan is also considered half. It's not easy to make a big deal out of this place.

In terms of the choice of "base area", Xu Jie's preferred place is the Northeast, which is good, rich in natural resources, and Liaodong is a place where Beiyang has been operating for a long time. Although Guanwai was regarded as a land of dragon prosperity by the Qing government, Han people were forbidden to enter. But I have to say that the times have changed, and this "ancestral teaching" should also be changed.

At that time, the Northeast was originally a wild land, except for a few large cities, the rest of the place was almost undeveloped, on the one hand, the Qing government's knowledge problem, on the other hand, the population of the Northeast was too small. And there is a lack of funds and technology, and it is impossible to develop it at all. Historically, after the Kanto incident, the population and development progress of the Northeast have accelerated. The situation in the Tohoku now is similar to history, but at the same time, it is somewhat different. As for the biggest difference, it may be brought by the Japanese army.

I have to say that the strength of the Japanese army in this plane is much stronger than that of his plane. Needless to say, the navy is also quite powerful. In the face of the Beiyang Army, which has been strengthened several times, Japan can still hit Jinzhou City! It shows its level. The Japanese First Army could not penetrate the Jinzhou defense line of the Beiyang New Army. However, it does not mean that the Japanese Second Army cannot defeat the defensive line of Ronglu and Iketanga. Just 3 days before the Japanese army launched its attack on Jinzhou, the military flag of the Japanese Second Army was finally planted on the gate of Liaoyang, and Liaoyang was breached! This is still under huge logistical pressure, and Liaoyang has been breached! In desperation, Rong Lu and Yi Ketanga could only retreat in the direction of Shengjing and made the most final preparations. If Sheng Jing loses it, these two people will directly decide it themselves!

Don't look at the Japanese army to invade the northeast for a few months, but the damage to the northeast is quite huge, the Liaodong Peninsula is not bad, Li Hongzhang can directly control it, and with the authorization of the Qing Dynasty center, the Beiyang Army can "act with a camera". Therefore, the evacuation that can be evacuated, and the strong wall that can clear the wilderness. So the loss is relatively small, after all, everything that can be walked is taken away. As for the houses that can't be taken away, the Japanese army can't all burn them all, right? The Japanese army still has to live in it!

But relatively speaking, Rong Lu and Iktanga's troops are miserable, Ronglu's northwest training army is better, but the situation of Iktanga's northeast local army can only be described as a tragedy. The Eight Banners army, which eats and waits for death all day long, is at most out to scare and scare bandits. When did you ever want to fight against a well-trained Japanese army on the battlefield? As a result, the performance of these Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was not as good as that of the temporarily recruited Orion, and they had at least seen blood! …,

What would be the result of such a force fighting the Japanese army when it was poorly equipped and had basically no fortifications? Ordinary people can't imagine it at all, if the Qing army and Japan fought without the relatively elite Beiyang Army in the First Sino-Japanese War in history, the exchange ratio was 1 to ten. Here, Iktanga's troop exchange ratio directly broke through the 100 mark! In the face of machine gun fire and artillery, the local army in the northeast and the reinforced Japanese army with insufficient ordnance training were simply sent to death.

In addition, because of the poor logistics and transportation. Coupled with the ferocious nature of the Japanese, this Japanese Second Army has completely turned into a "locust army!" "So much so that many years later. When people in the old Northeast mention the Japanese, they are most impressed by those unscrupulous guys who grab things! In order to raise enough supplies, the Japanese army can be said to have no grass everywhere, and they can starve to death rats! There is no way, the Japanese Second Army plus the government has nearly 80,000 people, plus the consumption of horses and livestock, this is a big number, and how many people were there in the Northeast at that time? How much arable land has been reclaimed? In addition, the banner people are supported by the state, and they are rarely directly engaged in labor, and the grain in the northeast is even less.

After months of fighting, the loss of strong labor in the northeast was huge, and the damage to food and infrastructure was even more serious, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the south of Liaoyang is basically white land. It is no exaggeration to say that the Northeast, the land of Longxing where the Manchus rose, has basically been emptied in terms of both manpower and financial resources after several months of high-intensity fighting. Without the intervention of external forces, this mess in the Northeast is really difficult to clean up!

This is a bad thing, but it also gives Xu Jie a chance! It is impossible for the Qing Dynasty to watch the Northeast rot like this. After all, this is the hometown of the Manchurians, and it is reasonable to give the locals a way to live! And now Japan is finished, but Russia is still there! The Russians' assistance to Japan in the war can be seen even by ordinary people that Russia is trying to clear the country! So armaments must need to be strengthened while restoring the economy! On this issue, Cixi and Guangxu are in agreement with Beiyang's views.

Well, who has the power and strength to clean up this mess now? Manchu people can't do it, although Rong Lu is also talented among the Manchurians, and Cixi also values it quite much, but it's really not good to let this person go to industry and economy. The center of the Qing Dynasty has opened an opening to allow private factories to be set up, so Beiyang will definitely not allow it to close again! And Rong Lu is definitely not suitable for this, on the issue related to the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, even if Cixi favors Rong Lu again, she will definitely not let a person who is destined to do something impossible to do.

Since the Manchurians can't do it, they can only be Han Chinese. Liu Kun of Nanyang is not good, this person is relatively conservative, and it is definitely not possible to engage in these new ones, and he is beyond the reach of the whip. He ruled in the South, how could he understand the North? In this way, the rest is Li Hongzhang's Beiyang. Although the Qing government will not honestly hand over the control of the Northeast to a Hanchen. But in the form of it, Li Hongzhang can gain control of at least half of the northeast.

In addition to the northeast, Xu Jie also needed to work hard in the south, and the Qing court's financial resources were in the south, especially in Zhejiang. The economy is already developed here. If this piece can be controlled, the power of the Beiyang side will be even greater. Especially now, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang is actually in charge of Fujian, Zhejiang and Taiwan. Historically, this year should be the time when Bian Baoquan took office as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, but history, history has changed, and Liu Mingchuan, who worked hard for the First Sino-Japanese War, should obviously "go further"! With the support of military exploits and political achievements in Taiwan, it should not be a big problem for Beiyang Nu to put Liu Ming in the position of governor of Fujian, Zhejiang and Taiwan, right? After all, Liu Mingchuan wanted to take over as the governor of Fujian and manage Fujian and Taiwan at the same time, and later at his request, Taiwan became a separate province, and he became the governor of Taiwan! …,

Relatively speaking, Liu Mingchuan's policy in Taiwan is more suitable for the development of national industry, and businesses in Fujian and Zhejiang are more likely to open mines and set up factories in Taiwan because of Taiwan's better policy. So in terms of public opinion, Liu Mingchuan has an advantage, as long as Beiyang dares to ask for it, the current weak center may still be unable to catch this world's largest powerhouse, right? Moreover, under the newspaper as a tool that can "control" public opinion, even Qingliu cannot say a word or two. In this war, Zhili contributed the most, followed by Taiwan and Liangguang. As the governor of Taiwan, Liu Mingchuan's rise to a higher level is still in line with public opinion.

As for Liangguang and Sichuan, because of the great victory in the First Sino-Japanese War, Li Hanzhang, who has made great contributions, can definitely continue to be his governor of Liangguang in Liangguang, and Liu Bingzhang of Sichuan? This person was originally born in the Huai system, and the relationship with Li Hongzhang is still good, although he doesn't know about Western industries, but for the sake of Lao Li's face, it is still possible to install some Beiyang people in Sichuan, after all, the current Huai system deployment is under the banner of Beiyang, with Li Hongzhang coming forward, everyone can unite and share some benefits, but if Li Hongzhang falls, it is estimated that everyone will not have good fruit to eat!

In this way, the Beiyang Alliance is afraid that it controls Zhili, Fujian, Zhejiang, Taiwan, Liangguang and Taiwan, plus part of the control of the Northeast! Such a situation, even when the Huai system was in its heyday, was it just like this? More importantly, Beiyang is now more united, and has the military and financial support independent of the Qing Dynasty government, after this war, it is not too much to say that Beiyang is already an independent kingdom! Of course, it will take some time to overthrow the rule of the Qing government, but if Beiyang can make good use of these resources, it is not impossible to resist the pace of Russian aggression.

It has been nearly 6 years since he crossed by himself, and in more than 2,000 days and nights, he has never relaxed, and the huge pressure of the nation and the country made him a little unbearable for a while, but now, he has finally survived. And now, in the darkness, he finally saw a glimmer of light. It's still very weak, but it's exciting! In any case, the Chinese nation has been extricated from the abyss of the First Sino-Japanese War, and now it is time to make great progress!
