Zhang Jian nodded silently and didn’t talk. He was in high spirits when he just drove.
After three days, Jinzhou equipment was transported to Shengjing and then to Xinmin by manpower, and Zhang Jian began to formally set up a cotton mill.
Zhang Yi’s cotton mill has a vulgar name, Xinghua Cotton Mill, which means to revitalize China. However, Zhang Jian regarded it as a treasure and greatly praised Zhang Yi. He said that Zhang Yi was ambitious and he definitely lived up to the word Xinghua!
Zhang Yi has only a few days left to follow Zhang Jian before and after running to make preliminary preparations for the cotton mill. The factory building of ICBC China Cotton Mill was completed a month ago. What needs to be done now is to install the equipment in the factory building and build the whole cotton mill management team to recruit cotton mill workers. Now the most important thing in Shengjing is that people will soon complete the staffing. Zhang Jian recruited more than 2,000 people into formal workers in one breath, and hundreds of them will expand to recruit apprentices in the future.
When they are mature, it is time for the future expansion of cotton mills.
Zhang Yi is very supportive of Zhang Jian’s idea. Zhang Jian is a good hand at doing things. He has just thought about the expansion of skilled workers in the future since his establishment.
Zhang Yi handed over the military and political affairs of Shengjing to Liang Dunyan when he was busy with the cotton mill. Zhang Yihu left for the United States himself.
As soon as Zhang Yi left Shengjing, someone had already handed out the news quickly.
First of all, the Russian and Japanese spies directly returned the information to the country.
Nicholas II of Russia, the Japanese emperor, and the military department all got the news.
Yamagata Aritomo, the Japanese military department, looked excited. Now Yamagata Aritomo has succeeded Ito Bowen as the new prime minister, and the Minister of the Army has been handed over to ōyama Iwao.
Yamagata Aritomo said, "Gentlemen, now that the Chinese tiger has left China for the United States, I think it will be difficult for Zhang Yi to return to China in three or four months. We should make this period good while he doesn’t have to open the northeast gate!" ōyama Iwao is also excited. "Well, now that Ito Bowen Pavilion has arrived in the Great Qing Dynasty and succeeded in trying to get the position of consultant to the Qing Dynasty, we can naturally think that more intelligence personnel in the Great Qing Dynasty are more favorable to the Great Qing Dynasty. If we fail to fight the Japanese imperial state policy, Ito Bowen Pavilion will also take the opportunity to provoke the reformists of the Qing Dynasty. When they are in trouble and eventually fall into chaos, we will have a lot of opportunities." Shanxian County.
Some friends laughed. "Well, let’s not miss this opportunity to give the Russian minister a hand to lobby the tsar when he can hurry. We can act together. The Northeast Fengjun was trained by Zhang Yi. We must make preparations again!"
Chapter three hundred and forty-one Shouting tsar Nicholas
When the dark tide of Japan surged, Russia was also not calm. When Tsar Nicholas heard the news, this slutty guy was hugging a woman to commit adultery during the day. When Nicholas heard the news, this little sprint became even crazier, shouting, "That’s it! Ha ha ha! Great! It’s so fucking cool that this little guy finally left! Die you … "
Nicholas was crazy about loosening the maid in front of him and screaming wildly. Finally, Nicholas ejected a shuttle into the maid’s body and shouted, "Great! Let him be the commander-in-chief of the Far East of the Russian Empire in Vladivostok. He will be responsible for all the wars in Heilongjiang. The Wusuli River area will start to watch the movement of the Qing government and be ready to invade Heilongjiang. This time, I will not only take Heilongjiang, but also the whole three northeastern provinces. I want the Mongolian Plateau! Linevich, commander of the Siberian Army, was ordered to give me 50,000 Cossack cavalry ready to cross the Mongolian Plateau and occupy all the important cities in Mongolia in January, bypassing Mongolia from the hinterland of Mongolia and preparing to go straight into the edge of the Loess Plateau to strike Beijing. This time, we must see what Emperor China looks like in Beijing! Hey! "
Nicholas II has been waiting for today for several years. Today, he finally got such an opportunity. When Zhang Yi left Fengtian to visit Germany, it was difficult for Nicholas II to get an opportunity because the Qing court had just won the Sino-Japanese War.
This one
Nicholas II finally waited for the opportunity. Now the Qing emperor is carrying out reform and reform, and there has been a large-scale turmoil in the provinces of the country. The disputes among the reformists and conservative bureaucrats in the imperial court are becoming increasingly fierce. There is no room for reconciliation. This antagonistic situation will become increasingly fierce. No matter which side wins, it will bring violent turmoil to China. It will take a long time for the DPRK to stabilize. This gap is just a good opportunity to start work. Now Nicholas II is like a keen hound, and he is sensitive to the political situation in his southern neighbor.
Gorchakov, the foreign minister in charge of intelligence, said, "I think we should hold a cabinet meeting to make good arrangements for this matter so that we will have the greatest chance of winning."
Nicholas II disdained, "Why are you still afraid that our Cossack warriors are no match for China’s yellow-skinned monkeys? Even the Chinese tiger can’t resist the future. We will attack 100,000 troops from north to south. This time, we will end it together with the bottom of the Chinese tiger, and let him draw water from a bamboo basket. Without him, our forces should have entered the three northeastern provinces a long time ago. This hateful guy! Last year, when I thought he sent a note to discuss the lease of Dalian Bay, he directly blew my messenger out of the general’s office. It’s time for us to wash it! "
Gorchakov said, "We must never despise China’s Tiger Day. It was because we despised the Chinese tiger’s military ability in the Korean War that we lost again and again, and finally lost."
Today, Zhang Yi’s army is far better than that of Huai Army two or three years ago. According to our intelligence, Zhang Yi’s army now accounts for more than 60,000 out of a total of 120,000 troops in the three northeastern provinces, all of whom are elite divisions coming from the battlefield. In addition, the 30,000-town border troops that we once fought against are not easy to handle. Today, our Far East military force has only 100,000 people in Vladivostok, which is really powerful. The army has less than 60,000 people. The strength of the Qing army in the three northeastern provinces is just equal
Nicholas II laughed. "Gorchakov, you’re too cautious. Didn’t I just say that I’m going to make 30,000 to 50,000 Cossack cavalry in Siberia to fight against the Qing court in the northeast? When I was attracted to the northeast, I launched a raid and crossed the Mongolian plateau, forcing the Qing government to sign a treaty of cession compensation, and then the Cossack cavalry continued to attack the north and south from the legal possession of the three northeastern provinces. Don’t say that Zhang Yi is not loyal to heaven, even if he is proud, what strength can resist more than 100,000 lions in our Russian empire!"
Gorchakov knows clearly that he secretly despises Nicholas II. You didn’t come up with such a plan, and I don’t know which minister offered you such a superb plan. Ni Guangguang thought about the Qing court war. Don’t you think about the Korean Japanese army on the border of the three northeastern provinces?
The day has long been right.
The Mongolian Plateau in the three northeastern provinces is salivating. If it weren’t for Zhang Yi, a Chinese tiger, now the three northeastern provinces have already been included in the Japanese name. Now let’s go and grab the three northeastern provinces, not to mention whether the powers have any opinions. Even if the Qing court kills you, it will definitely not stop. What’s worse, if we let the Japanese sit quietly and watch the tiger fight until the last day, we will add the Qing country to clean up together. This reckless idiot is possible!
It’s Gorchakov who dare not say it directly with Nicholas II. This is the cost of losing his head and destroying his family. Nicholas II just exiled a big noble in Petersburg a few days ago because that big noble accidentally said a word that annoyed this guy.
Gorchakov said carefully, "It’s natural for you to make a strategic deployment by Britain and SHEN WOO. But now the Japanese army in the east of the three northeastern provinces has been eyeing the three northeastern provinces. We will take such a big risk to do it. It’s better for us to let the Chinese fight until they are in full swing. Let’s send troops so that we can clean up all the Japanese together!"
Nicholas II’s eyes flashed and asked, "Isn’t Gorchakov’s envoy to St. Petersburg?"
Gorchakov hurriedly replied, "The pursuit of the current minister Xishan Ling is still very slick in St. Petersburg."
It’s expensive to make friends with our empire everywhere, "Nicholas II asked." Then what’s this Xishan Order doing running around? " Gorchakov replied, "Xishan Ling is now lobbying everywhere to persuade our empire to send troops to Heilongjiang and want us to send troops together to carve up the whole three northeastern provinces!"
Chapter three hundred and forty-two Each with her own gizzard
Nicholas II narrowed his eyes after hearing Gorchakov’s words and thundered, "Dream! It’s me in the three northeastern provinces and the Mongolian Plateau! Why should those yellow-skinned monkeys carve up the three northeastern provinces with us? They can still eat without them! Old people won’t even leave a hair to them! "
Gorchakov nodded again and again. "Yes, yes, yes, you are right. The Japanese are not qualified to get the three northeastern provinces. Only our Russian empire has such qualifications. Since the Japanese are willing to send troops together, why should we refuse?" We can use the Japanese as guns to make it clear that when the Qing Dynasty is defeated, we will just blow the Japanese away. The idea that we will send troops together is just a slap in the face and let the Japanese sell us hard work. Hey hey … "
Nicholas II nodded with satisfaction and smiled. "Well said! Gorchakov, you say it’s great. Let’s let Xiao Ri give us slow and stupid strength. Hey, hey, that’s a good idea! I will officially meet with the minister of Xishan in the Kremlin one day and ask the ministers to accompany us to see how to play tricks on the Japanese … "
The next day, Gorchakov accompanied Xishan Ling and the Counsellor of the Japanese Embassy in Russia to the Kremlin to see the Tsar.
Xishan Ling bowed deeply to Nicholas II and said, "Respect Nicholas II, the emperor of our Japanese empire, and let me give you my regards!"
Nicholas II snorted and said, "Well, I also ask you to convey it to you for me."
There is not much nonsense about the emperor’s greetings. Now China is on the verge of turmoil, and now the Chinese tiger has just left the three northeastern provinces for an official visit to the United States. This opportunity is what your emperor most wants to see. I want to hear your opinions on the matter of governing the emperor. "
Xishan Ling replied, "Nicholas II’s land in China is now over 10 million square kilometers, with fertile land and abundant products, and a large number of coal mines and iron mines. A powerful country is salivating at him. Now the Qing government is in a daze and does not deserve to occupy such a vast land. We are interested in your country’s alliance. At the right time, we will jointly send troops to your country to cross the Wusuli River and March across the Yalu River in Heilongjiang and Jilin. Even if the Chinese tiger sits in the sky, it will be absolutely difficult to resist the north-south attack and defeat the Chinese tiger. By then, the whole three northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin will
Nicholas II snorted and was about to speak when Gorchakov coughed, which means that Nicholas II’s main speech strategy must win over the Japanese.
Nicholas II changed his smiling face and said, "Mr. Xishan Ling is very interested in your plan, but I don’t know how we can send troops. I think Toyota Jilin in North Korea is only separated by a river from Pyongyang to Yanbian, but it is only two or three hundred miles away. Naturally, you should attack first."
What do you think of Russia’s subsequent war in Heilongjiang? "
Laughing all over the hill, Nicholas II’s face turned stiff. Why did this stupid and manic Nicholas become smarter today?
Don’t you know that North Korea’s Mukden is just separated by a Yalu River, and a lot of fine elements have invaded North Korea. If our Japanese empire is slightly afraid, it will make the Chinese tiger observe the trouble when it is ready, so it will be much more difficult for us to defeat the Chinese tiger again. Nikolai I think your country, Heilongjiang, should take the lead in sending troops so that our attention will be drawn to the front line of Heilongjiang at this time. It will be a short period of time, and heavy troops will suddenly launch a storm in Fengtian. Once Shengjing falls, the entire three northeastern provinces will be in great turmoil. When your army is difficult, where will you stop your fighters? "
Nicholas II cried to shine at the moment. Yes, I first forced the Qing army in the three northeastern provinces to pay attention to Heilongjiang, and then a raid on Xiaori could take Shengjing, the important town. At this time, the whole three northeastern provinces naturally did not occupy the chaos, and then they invaded the south and entered Jilin Heilongjiang at their fingertips, and then their Cossack cavalry went out from Beijing North and then even Xiaori was destroyed. Then Fengtian would be pocketed and Xiaori could look on without doing anything.
law
Nicholas II laughed. "Please pay tribute to the Imperial Emperor of your country. I agreed. He suggested that we form an alliance for the time being and wait for the opportunity to carve up the three northeastern provinces together. Now I will ask Commander Kuropatkin of Vladivostok to tie up his troops and be ready to invade Heilongjiang!"
Gorchakov was about to speak when his face changed.
Xishan Ling was the first to say, "We have a deal, and we will sign an alliance later. I hope that the Russian Empire and the Japanese Empire can form an alliance forever to jointly deal with the persecution of other countries."
Xishan Ling is already happy. Divide up the three northeastern provinces? Dream on. Now, the Imperial Department of Japan has completed the completion of 100,000 troops. In the past three years, the empire has plundered 450 million yuan worth of silver materials from North Korea and Taiwan Province. Now, the empire has completed 100,000 soldiers and has already invaded China. It is ready to land in North Korea at any time. Once the invading army of Fengtian is completed, it can also land in large numbers with the help of the Japanese joint fleet. Then, more than 100,000 Japanese troops will take victory in Weibei to raze the three northeastern provinces first, and then it will be difficult to capture Zhili. Half of China will be Russia? Let this worthless tsar dream of the Spring and Autumn Period. Anyway, it is difficult for his European army to be transferred to East Siberia for a while. They are not rivals of the Great Japanese Empire just by virtue of the Siberian army in Vladivostok. Nicholas II laughed. "Good Xishan Lingge, we can sign an alliance treaty today."
Come to the signing of the treaty, you can negotiate with my foreign minister Gorchakov and the army minister Tolchenkov. I won’t participate in this. You can start negotiations immediately. "After saying that, Nicholas II turned to leave the banquet and left everyone in the hall.
Chapter three hundred and forty-three etiquette qi Summer Palace
The Japanese Tsarist Russia conspired to invade China jointly, while the Great Qing Dynasty continued to fight.
During this period of time, Emperor Guangxu has successively launched the New Deal. In just over two months, dozens of imperial edicts have been made, and the scope of reform has been involved in politics, economy, people’s livelihood, military affairs, diplomacy and other fields. The conservative officials have completely panicked, so that all their interests can not be guaranteed.
Without a will from Emperor Guangxu, the hearts and hearts of these officials will twitch with pain. This is their flesh.
In the end, Emperor Guangxu not only reformed the Manchu Banner, but also extended his hand to the Prime Minister’s yamen. He wanted to integrate most of the Prime Minister’s yamen Beiyang, Nanyang military and foreign affairs into the central imperial edict. Not only did he bear the brunt of Rong Lu’s anger, but he also quit along with Nanyang Minister, Governor Liu Kunyi of Guangdong and Guangxi, Governor Zhang Dong of Huguang, and now Minister Li Hongzhang, the General Office of the Prime Minister’s yamen. Together with foreign interests, these people have paid for their trust in the Qing officialdom in recent years.
Li Hongzhang made suggestions to Emperor Guangxu one after another, asking Guangxu to suspend the implementation of the New Deal and stabilize the political situation of the imperial court first. As a result, Guangxu was furious and removed Li Hongzhang’s position as prime minister of the yamen General Office. He only kept the title of a university student in Wuyingdian, and he took care of Lao Li, but it was also unambiguous to directly admit illness and could not afford to leave!
