Zhang Yi replied, "That is, the cotton mill must be set up in Fengtian. What do you need from our department? If you do it, what will hinder you? I will personally come forward. Before you settle it, the cotton mill must be set up in Fengtian, so that I can solve the problems when the cotton mill encounters. If you open the cotton mill in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even if I want to help you, I’m afraid I can’t do anything."
Zhang Jian slightly hesitated and said, "It’s not impossible for the general to open in Mukden, but it’s the lack of cotton mill workers in Mukden. I’m afraid this thing …"
Zhang Yi replied, "There is no problem for you to promise to come. We can go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to hire workers and technicians."
I’ll dig you up at any cost if I want you to name someone, and I want you to build a factory! "
Zhang Jian nodded and said, "Well, General, I promise your request. Several friends in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have already promised to take a stake. What if I set up Fengtian?"
Zhang yi laughed. "This is not simple? First of all, I sincerely welcome them to invest in Fengtian to set up factories, mines and shops, but the original conditions of those shares are still kept for them; If they really don’t want to come to Fengtian, then return the shares to them and double the interest of our bank. "
Zhang Jian finally agreed to come after worrying about it.
Zhang Yi asked, "Now that the matter is settled, I want to ask Ji Zhi how to solve your machines and equipment?"
Zhang Jian replied, "At present, there is still a backlog in the sea. Many people in Zhangdong bought spindles from the United States years ago, and there are about 50 thousand spindles. I want the Ministry to receive this foundation and start the factory first."
Zhang Yi waved his hand and said, "Ji Zhi, since he wants to be an industry, we should aim at the most advanced technology in the west and make China the best industry in the world. In the future, we will not only have Chinese textiles, but also have more fields waiting for us to enter this backlog of sea spindles. One is outdated, and the other is that the technology has been developed more than ten years ago, which is very unfavorable for the future development of our cotton mill. I suggest you go to the United States to purchase machinery and equipment in person. Anyway, we.
There are more than two million pieces of silver. I don’t worry about insufficient funds. I also have long-term US dollar loans from the United States, which also saves the exchange pain. I want to trouble you to go to the United States in person. "
Zhang Jian said with excitement, "This will prevent the general from having such ambitions. This matter has been done in this way. I will leave for the United States as soon as I am ready."
Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Good, it’s just that Shaochuan, they all came back from studying in the United States, and the United States has some contacts. You can just borrow one, which is also convenient for the United States to do things."
Zhang Jian said, "Well, then please, General."
Zhang Yi said, "Actually, we can’t just look at the textile surface. You can also go to the United States this time to see what economic fields have great development potential. We need to diversify our industries so as to better reduce the future market risks. You must know that the strength of those foreign countries’ yarn mills is far from ours, and the world market fluctuates greatly. If we start a spinning mill, we will be vulnerable to market risks."
Zhang Jian nodded and replied, "The general’s speech was very favorable, and my insights made me feel like an awakening. I have all these in mind."
Zhang Yi smiled and then said, "You’d better act late for a few days. You can look at the terrain near Shengjing again in these days, think about where to set up a factory site, and then decide on a good place before you leave. When you come back from the United States, I think I’ll finish building the yarn factory. Isn’t that twice the result with half the effort?" Zhang Jianxin
Touched by Zhang Yi, it was confirmed that he had done his best to know what was going on, and he never knew whether he could repay it all his life. Zhang Jian replied, "Good general, I will try my best to do this well. You will see, I am sure you will bring a huge business empire!"
Chapter three hundred Patrol Northeast Iktangga
Zhang Jian, accompanied by Shengjing officials, visited for three days, and finally chose the address of the cotton mill in the name of General Zhang Yi’s office near Xinmin Hall in Shengjing. Here, 300 mu of land was directly expropriated for the construction of the cotton mill, and at the same time, 4,000 mu of land near the cotton mill was industrialized, giving high compensation for the relocation of the farmers’ landlord department living here.
4,000 mu of land is close to the size of two villages. Zhang Yi took such a large piece of land and told Tang Shaoyi that after that, there will be priority for businessmen to invest in Shengjing. It will be the future Shengjing industrial zone and also a tax preferential zone. If you want to enter here, you must first pass the approval of the general office, strictly review the scale of the general office and engage in the industry before you can enter.
Zhang Yi’s purpose is to forcibly build industrial special zones for later generations by administrative means to promote the development of Fengtian.
After planning the site, Zhang Jian left Fengtian by boat with a group of businessmen and went to Tianjin for industrial procurement in the United States.
Zhang Yi threw the matter of the cotton mill to Liang Dunyan, the general manager of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, who was responsible for arranging special personnel to be responsible for the construction of the cotton mill.
He himself took Xu Huaijin and Tang Shaoyi and began to rush to Jilin and Heilongjiang to conduct a face-to-face inspection of the two provinces
Three days later, Zhang Yi and his party arrived in Jilin Province together.
Iktangga led a bunch of officials from Jilin General Office to greet Zhang Yiying into the General Office.
Zhang Yi said, "You adults are busy with public affairs, so the general won’t leave you. You can leave them with Iktangga’s adult envoy and inspector."
When they heard it, they excused themselves in the hall, leaving only a few people, such as Iktangga, plus Zhang Yi and Xu Huaijin and Tang Shaoyi, with less than ten people in total.
Iktangga said, "General, I don’t know if your visit to Jilin this time is mainly settled? Officials or make arrangements before. "
Zhang Yi laughed. "General Iktangga, we don’t have to mention it. Two years ago, we also joined hands with North Korea to fight against Japan. Friendship is more precious than anything else, isn’t it?"
Iktangga nodding in the heart is a sigh with emotion. When Iktangga first met Zhang Yi two years ago, he was just a commander in chief. Cang Lang battalion was in charge of the North Korean army. He was just a worm in front of him. Now, just a little over two years ago, this young man is already a general in charge of military and political affairs in three provinces. He has become himself. He has to look up to the great governor and is a pivotal figure in the Great Qing Dynasty. Things have changed like a white cloud dog.
Zhang Yi went on to say, "General, this official will take a bunch of people to visit Jilin to Heilongjiang to know the basic situation of the three northeastern provinces. It is not optimistic for us to see the situation in the three northeastern provinces with Russian tigers in the north and Japanese wolves in the east. I don’t want to experience a big war like North Korea. Now the court wants no soldiers and no money."
Iktangga nodded. "Yes, the officer first led the army in Heilongjiang, then promoted the general in Heilongjiang to guard Heilongjiang, and then transferred to Fengtian. It was only half a year before he went to Jilin. So it has been more than 20 years since he came here. Half a generation of hard work has been done in the three northeastern provinces. This is my root. Now Russia is pressing hard for a moment, but it has been worrying for these three provinces."
Zhang Yi replied, "Lord Yaoshan, you have always been loyal and brave in your country, which makes the ruling and opposition parties respect you very much. For you, the three provinces are worrying, so are the officials. I wonder how Lord Yaoshan felt about the present situation of Fengtian after he went to Fengtian for half a year?"
Iktangga primly said, "My Lord Iktangga is a warrior, but the quality of a local governance can still be seen. When my Lord went to Mukden just one year and a few months ago, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Mukden. The population alone has more than doubled, and factories have been built to rectify armaments. Although Mukden is not like an iron wall, tens of thousands of troops can make Russia and Japan dare not easily compete with each other. My Lord is indeed an unparalleled wizard, fearing that there will be a righteous man in the past hundred years, but it is a pity to be ashamed. Ah, after Mukden, the bandits were rampant. If it wasn’t for adults returning from the West to clean up this rotten stall again, Iktangga would be a criminal in the imperial court. "
Zhang Yi laughed. "Lord Yaoshan is really impatient. Mukden has dug a huge hole until now. Brother Shaochuan still blames me. During this period, it’s exhausting. There are holes everywhere. It’s already a great achievement that you can stabilize Mukden."
Iktangga is humble again and again.
Zhang Yi went on to say, "Lord Yaoshan, when the First World War in Korea lasted for half a year, you also participated in it yourself. Do you have any ideas about the gap between the two sides in this war? We can exchange ideas."
Iktangga said with a full look, "My Lord, to be honest, I used to be very proud of my town border army. This army has fought with Russia several times, but it was a pity that it didn’t experience any decent war in the past ten years, which led to the gradual relaxation of military discipline. I was busy with politics and neglected management. When I arrived at the battlefield, I found that the town border army was only left with a shell, and the Japanese elite was really extraordinary. It was not only my town border army, but even Li Hongzhang’s adult hand. The elite of the army is no match for Lutai Lianjun, which claims to be the fighting power of all the national armies. At first, it was a big loss. You were born in Lutai Lianjun, and you must know better than the official. If you hadn’t forged a strong army through your adult North Korea’s efforts, you would be afraid that we would really be unable to resist the Japanese attack. Our soldiers’ individual qualities and generals’ command ability all have a certain gap, which makes it impossible for us to avoid the ministers in the DPRK. We will be able to rest easy when North Korea repelled the Japanese army, but I don’t know that the Japanese are making greater efforts to consolidate
Zhang Yi replied with a sigh, "Lord Yaoshan, there are still people in our court who can see the current situation clearly. Aren’t you one?"
Chapter three hundred and one Heart-to-heart talk about new ideas
Iktangga looked at a face of firm Zhang Yi and had to sigh that when he was old, he would never see Zhang Yishen again. This young man just had bloody momentum.
Iktangga took a deep breath and said, "If you are not afraid of Iktangga’s fear, please be firm."
Zhang Yi replied, "Today, Toyota has set up four divisions, but it is not fully staffed. Once it is fully staffed, the number will reach 70,000. I mean to reorganize the four divisions of Jilin and Heilongjiang respectively, and the number will not exceed 60,000. I will transfer a group of backbones from the four divisions in Fengtian to supplement these four divisions. At present, the first step is to eliminate the redundant troops in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, eliminate all the old, the weak and the sick, and demote the generals with mediocre ability, or make them leapfrog the capable generals.
Iktangga frowned and moved too much. Iktangga said, "Sir Jian, you haven’t moved too much. What if there is a layoff and people make trouble? A bad handling will lead to great disaster!"
Zhang Yi replied, "Lord Yaoshan, is the situation I faced when I was just in the sky different now?" At that time, there was more resistance, not only in the military, but also in the place where there was great resistance. Now it’s different. Let’s stop? What’s worse, it’s not that they are left out of their current jobs and active jobs. The replacement and dismissal of the soldiers this time will be twice as much as that when Fengtian was reorganized. At the same time, everyone will also allocate them from two acres to twenty acres of land. They will farm and support their families. With these future life guarantees, I think they will be willing. If someone doesn’t want to, it’s not for nothing to call me a butcher nickname for those who dare to make trouble directly to engage in military law without mercy! Without the decisive means of war, we will never be able to achieve the whole military strength, and these people will bring bad atmosphere to an army! "
Iktangga sighed and said, "Well, Lord Jian, I don’t object to you doing this. I have to wake up. You must be careful not to buy too fast. I think you know this better than I do."
Zhang Yi went on to say, "I will transfer several senior generals from the Mukden army to take charge of the future reorganization training. During the reorganization process, the four teachers will report to me and report to you and General Enze respectively. At the same time, I have ordered Xu Huaijin, the chief of military staff in the three northeastern provinces, to be responsible for all training, mobilization, weapons, All matters such as the trench and the staffing of the four divisions in Jilin and Heilongjiang. In the future, the troops in the three northeastern provinces will never be allowed to eat salaries, and the soldiers who are greedy for ink will never be allowed to pay salaries. Once they are found, no matter which direct military method they are engaged in, neither you nor General Enze will interfere with Xu Huaijin’s military reorganization. Xu Huaijin graduated from the Berlin Military Institute in Germany, and he has outstanding talent. We must give him such benefits and let him give us a free hand to build a strong army! "
Iktangga hiss a drag on air conditioning Zhang Yi this is to seize the army? Such a big move is different from playing with fire.
Iktangga said, "Sir Jian, although I support your military reorganization, I strongly disagree with such a big move. Even if I agree with the court, I won’t agree with you. Don’t forget that the most taboo of the court is that the frontier etiquette army is too large and thus threatens the central rule. If you complete the military reorganization of the three provinces, the total strength of the three provinces will exceed 130,000. Do you think the court will be at ease if you have all the troops in your hands? Those bosses in the DPRK will be so reckless by you? Even in the heyday of Li Hongzhang’s adult, his troops were just over 100,000, and it was still necessary to count some of his non-main fighting forces, Wen Zhenggong. So much so in the heyday of that year. Is the prestige of these two adults what you can now compare with? Together with them, Wen Zhenggong has to disarm and protect himself. When dealing with Tianjin religious plans, it’s not white for you. It’s not easy to break down and decline, but it’s not easy to strengthen the truth through the ages. You’d better think twice. "
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Lord Yaoshan, you didn’t have me. North Korea was born two years ago. Can tens of thousands of Beiyang troops of Lord Li Hongzhang compete with the Japanese attack? “
Iktangga shook his head and said, "Don’t say it’s Li Hongzhang’s adult Beiyang army. Even if we add Wen Zhenggong’s legacy to Xiang, there is not much chance that the two armies will work together. In recent years, the decline of the two forces has been too severe. It is a great unknown to add energy ministers to lead most of them."
Zhang Yi replied, "Yes, you are right. Even the combined efforts of Huai Army and Xiang Army may not be able to compete with the Japanese army. At that time, the Japanese army had close to 200,000 elite soldiers, but now the Huai Army and Xiang Army together only have more than 100,000 people. How can they be Japanese opponents? However, if the two old men did not ask for disarmament and Zuo Zongtang left tens of thousands of soldiers in one place, at least not 200 thousand, but the Japanese army could compete with each other and win because of the large-scale disarmament of Lord Wen Zhenggong and Lord Li Hongzhang, which weakened their own strength, and the soldiers dispersed as if they were fighting against the Japanese Tiger Wolf Division? You don’t agree with me to expand my army. When Russia calls again in the future, I only rely on tens of thousands of troops in Fengtian, but there is no chance of winning. After all, it is still unknown how many people will be killed by the other side. "
Iktangga argued, "But we don’t only have a brigade division in Fengtian in the Qing Dynasty. Can’t we still defend a northeast with hundreds of thousands of troops?"
Zhang Yi Gherardini looked at Iktangga and replied, "Yaoshan’s adult, you are not deluding yourself. I am the military and political chief of three provinces, but I can’t command the national army. Now it is difficult to uniformly dispatch the troops in all parts of the country unless the emperor uses personal expedition. Do you think we can command the troops in other provinces like the Mukden army? The most taboo of an army is that the decree is unreasonable and there is no cohesion. The army is like a loose sand. We will stay like this and the army will fight against Japan and Russia? "
Excited Iktangga suddenly speechless …
Chapter three hundred and twenty Heart-to-heart talk new
Zhang Yi then said, "Is there anything wrong with Lord Yaoshan?"
Iktangga sighed deeply a long time ago and said, "The strong adult official admits that you are very reasonable. Indeed, as you have said, if the Northeast soldiers are still scattered, Russia and Japan will attack, then we are likely to be defeated by others. What can we do if we are ministers? In the imperial court, it’s extremely taboo for military attache to take charge of the army, and it’s even worse to be commander-in-chief of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of elite military attache like you, and your prestige is echoed. The imperial court is even more uneasy. Even if the emperor believes in you, those central diehards will not stand by. "
Hum! Zhang Yi snorted, "Lord Yaoshan, I don’t care if those stubborn old people want the emperor to believe me, then I will try my best to guard the gate. Those officials who want to come to the DPRK don’t care if these officials refuse to do anything because of choking!"
Iktangga ruthlessly said, "Well, since Lord Jian has decided that the officer will accompany Lord Jian to be crazy. I support you in this matter!"
Zhang Yi said, "No matter whether it is military innovation or other innovations, I will also introduce a large number of enterprises from western powers into our resources to revitalize the industry. How can we do it without factories and mines?"
Iktangga shocked way "strong adult this is involved in the national root things how can we …"
Zhang Yi replied, "Yaoshan adults wait for half a year.
