Chapter 190: King Xu joins forces
?? Fee Chapter (12 points)
Because Xu Lanzhou no longer hindered the expansion of the Chinese Bank, and also actively invested in shares, he accelerated the construction of the Chinese Bank, and soon established 100 branches in the whole province, and with the support of senior officials in the four northeastern provinces, 150 branches were established in Jilin, Fengtian, and Rehe. The Chinese Bank also became the largest bank in Northeast China in a leap from the initial 30 million yuan, and in the later period, other senior officials successively invested, and the cumulative capital was 40 million silver dollars, and when it was announced, it was declared that 70 million silver dollars, and the small amount of RMB issued also increased to 10 million silver dollars.
Because of the increase in savings, in order to carry out currency unification, Jilin, Rehe, and Fengtian have successively promulgated a series of laws and regulations to encourage and support the use of small amounts of RMB to replace copper coins and broken silver, which has greatly developed the RMB promotion cause of the Chinese Bank.
Of course, at the beginning, Liang Shiyi and other important members of the Beiyang Transportation Department naturally made money, but the money earned was dividends given by others, what is this? Our Bank of Communications is much stronger than any Chinese bank, so we can kick them out and do it ourselves.
So Liang Shiyi arranged for the Bank of Communications to print banknotes, and at the same time learned from the success of the promotion of the RMB, the Bank of Communications banknotes were called silver dollar bills, and issued five-point, two-point, one-point, five-point, two-point, one-point, and six-point banknotes. Because the four northeastern provinces were occupied by the RMB issued by the Chinese National Bank of China, Liang Shiyi issued the banknotes issued by the Bank of Communications in Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Jiangsu, Suiyuan, and Shanxi. Therefore, Yuan Shikai obtained sufficient capital before becoming emperor, and Wang Maoru also indirectly helped Yuan Shikai to solve the problem of funds.
The Chinese banks are booming, Wang Maoru's money is also rolling in, and Fang Hongxin sent a telegram from the United States saying that because the European war is in full swing, the orders of the EAT light weapons company are now in short supply, and the E1 rifle, which was not popular in Europe before, although there are such and such shortcomings in the European war, but the Europeans' demand for arms is now far greater than the pickiness of weapons, and the EAT company has accepted orders to change the E1 rifle to a sniper rifle and a short rifle in addition to the E1 rifle.
The Europeans, despite their tall stature, found the length of the E1 rifle too inconvenient in trench warfare, and the triangular spur was a major headache for the dagger-accustomed Europeans - the reason given by the European military was that your Mitsubishi spur made it impossible for our soldiers to shave with daggers.
The Eat's weapons research department reduced the length of the modified E1 short rifle by 140mm compared to the E1 rifle, and the E1 short rifle was designated the E1 rifle. (Does it feel similar to ine and ine)
The Sniper Rifle has some improvements over the E1 rifle, such as the addition of an inner spiral in the barrel to make it more accurate, the addition of a scope, and the addition of a baseline. On top of that, the sniper bullet was secretly produced by the British War Office, and the EAT sniper rifle that accompanied the sniper bullet was named the E2 sniper rifle.
Among these two rifles, the E1 type was accepted by the British and French side for large orders, and the E2 sniper rifle was also very popular with the British and French military, and received some orders. The reason why the E1 rifle was not popular in Europe was that in the trenches of the European War, the E1 reached an astonishing length of 1180mm, which allowed the enemy to easily spot the position of the enemy soldiers from the muzzle of the gun, thus making it easy for the soldiers to attract the enemy's artillery to focus on the attack. The E1 also reduced the weight of the E1 rifle by 0.4 kg by shortening the barrel and butt, replacing the triangular bayonet with a long dagger-style bayonet.
So now, in addition to the production of E1 rifles, most of which have begun to produce E1, except for some production in order to supply Wang Maoru. Although the E1 rifle is bound to be higher than the E1 rifle in terms of firing range, effective distance and stability, it is destined to become a test and eliminated rifle in the European war because of its inconvenience.
Wang Maoru immediately telegraphed Fang Hongxin to ask how much E1 rifle he still had in stock, and whether he had any economic talents, preferably Chinese, in the United States, and he urgently needed them here.
Fang Hongxin sent a telegram back, there are still 20,000 E1 rifles in stock, and they have now been loaded on ships and shipped to China, and at the same time, some of the company's scrapped old machines are also transported, hoping to help the boss build a gun repair shop, accompanied by two Chinese talents, it is estimated that they will arrive by the end of the year, and one of them is still their old acquaintance. Fang Hongxin said, I know that you are already a general, boss, so I will definitely try my best to help you, but I also hope that I can return to China and serve as a senior official in the government department. Wang Maoru sent him a telegram that there was no problem, if I were the president, you would be my prime minister.
In the telegram between the two of them, the Double Tenth Festival in 19 was originally a statutory National Day, but Yuan Shikai prepared for a few years to become the emperor, so he canceled the Double Tenth National Day. People of insight spoke one after another, but Yuan Shikai was already waiting to be crowned emperor at this time, and he completely ignored him.
At this time, although the Qing Empire abdicated, it still retained the temple name, the emperor name, which was a small world in the Forbidden City, and although the Han people did not care about the emperor, the Manchurians and Mongolians, many places in Tibet, still respected the emperor. The clan's power is still huge, and some of them still hold important positions in the military. Yuan Shikai wants to be the emperor, and naturally there are no two monarchs in the country, and he can't allow the other to save for the emperor. So Yuan Shikai sent Liang Shiyi and Jiang Chaozong as special envoys to force Emperor Puyi of the Qing Dynasty to remove the name of Emperor Qing and become Emperor Yuan's servants.
At this time, Emperor Puyi was only nine years old, rolling iron hoops every day, kicking leather balls, flying kites, that knew the name was not famous, the palace was originally presided over by the Queen Mother Yulon, and the Queen Mother Yulong because she signed an abdication agreement, announced that the Qing Empire was changed to the Republic of China, consciously decided to the ancestors, and then died of illness under sadness. At this time, the people in charge of the overall situation in the palace are Concubine Jin and Concubine Yu, and they are even more unthinkable. So Liang Shiyi and Jiang Chaozong forced the Qing family to remove the emperor's name, and the children of the Qing family went to the Forbidden City to discuss matters and cried. Among them, the oldest Prince Qing Yixuan was angry and died, and many children of the clan thought that they could live in peace, but they were forced by Yuan Shikai and felt that they should not be controlled by others. As a result, some radical clan disciples fled Beiping and came to the northeast, where they contacted people loyal to the Manchus, which eventually led to the rebellion of the clan party in the northeast.
Yuan Shikai was called the emperor, and his subordinates were separated, even the number one fierce general Duan Qirui also said that he couldn't get sick, and Li Jingxi, Zhao Erxun, Zhang Jian and others resigned and went home, and the old Yuan was out of sight and out of mind, and he was happy to concentrate on being the emperor.
Since Yuan Shikai has no intention of dealing with trivial matters, the people below will naturally not report everything, there is an Emperor Yuan above, and the people below are all little emperors.
The new Heilongjiang overseer and patrol envoy Bi Guifang has not yet arrived in Heilongjiang, Xu Lanzhou can't sit still, for Wang Maoru he is jealous of his financial resources and rise, but after all, Wang Maoru is still young, even if he is capable, according to the practice of the central government, he is just a small local warlord, he can't be on the stage, and he can't pose a threat to himself.
And Bi Guifang is different, first of all, Bi Guifang is a flag person, and first of all, he can win over old friends from all banners in Manchuria. Secondly, Bi Guifang served as the consul general of Vladivostok, dealt with the Russians, and was appreciated by the Russians. Clause... It was he who briefly served as the overseer and chief of civil affairs of Heilongjiang for five months before Zhu Qinglan arrived in Heilongjiang, and the current chief of civil affairs is still Bi Guifang's sons and daughters. The last point is that Bi Guifang was from 20 to 40 years old, and he was an official in Heilongjiang Province for 20 years, and he bought a lot of contacts, so to speak, Zhu Qinglan came to Heilongjiang with a bare ass, and Bi Guifang returned home with his ancestors.
Although Xu Lanzhou was a martial artist, he also knew who his biggest enemy was, so he immediately sent his chief of staff Li Jinglin north to Hulun City, Hulunbuir, to explain to Wang Maoru about Bi Guifang's various threats, and said: "Zhishuai (Xu Lanzhou's character Zhitian) is from Hebei, Xiushuai is returned from abroad, and they all belong to foreigners here in Heilongjiang, but Bi Guifang is a native of the banner. Xiushuai, this is not the time for personal righteousness, Zhishuai sent me, and it was also a decision made after weighing the pros and cons. If Bi Guifang is an overseer, Zhi Shuai Xiushuai will never have a bright future. "It's quite a taste similar to McDonald's KFC, no matter how dry it is, it will never make Tex up. Let's beat us, but if someone shows up, kill him first, and then we'll fight again.
Wang Maoru laughed and replied to Li Jinglin: "I have very little ambition, I can only settle in Hulunbuir, as for who is the overseer, I don't care, as long as he doesn't hurt my interests." It is not impossible for me to support Zhishuai, there is one condition, I want Sibutha, and what I have lost, I will get it back. ”
After Li Jinglin reported to Xu Lanzhou, he discussed that Xibutha runs through the Daxinganling area, which is inhabited by ethnic minorities, and the land is barren and difficult to travel, so it is not a fertile land, so he decided to return Xibutha to Wang Maoru.
After that, he manipulated the Heilongjiang Provincial Civil Affairs Council to decide that the five banners of Xibutha would be assigned to Hulunbuir and under the control of Wang Maoru. The Fourth Cavalry Brigade of Heilongjiang left the Zhalantun garrison and withdrew to Bayan garrison, and Wang Maoru quickly transferred troops to accept the new territory at the same time, and transferred Zhao Qingbu of the Fourth Independent Infantry Regiment to Zhalantun to garrison against Xu Lanzhou.
When Wang Maoru and Xu Lanzhou reached an agreement, Bi Guifang's staff Chen Ning also came, and the two met when they were in Qiqihar, and the two sides can be said to be old acquaintances. Moreover, this time Chen Ning also brought Tang Baoqi over, Tang Baoqi worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a year and participated in the entire negotiation of the Sino-Russian-Mongolian agreement, and he lost a lot of weight. Wang Maoru was very happy when he saw it, but he threw Chen Ning aside and took Tang Baoqi to ride the Hulunbuir Prairie. (To be continued.)
