    Chapter 166: Otherwiseyou marry me

    Time passed quickly. As ships arrived in Hankou, the country also entered a "peaceful period." The political earthquake in the north after Tang Shaoyi stepped down quickly stabilized due to Lu Zhengxiang's decisive measures. In addition to not getting Han Yeping's profits,  In addition, Yuan Shikai was even glad to be able to drive him away.

    With the recovery of Han Yeping, the unification of the three provinces in the upper reaches of Yangzijiang was finally completed, and the anti-revolutionary movement in the territory also came to an end. A large number of forcibly disarmed and arrested local ruffians became free labor.  Yang Qiu would not sympathize with these people and put them all into industrial, mining and railway construction for forced labor reform.  The addition of hundreds of thousands of free laborers has in turn promoted the construction speed of the three provinces. Taking the Han-Sichuan line as an example, except for Guibei, which is slow, the other three provinces (Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing and Chengdu) have four start-up sections (Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing and Chengdu) with an average of  The railway is advancing at a speed of one kilometer per day, and even Zhan Tianyou rarely made bold statements, saying that the railway will be completed within five years.

    To ensure that these people do not cause trouble, the five light infantry regiments formed by the National Guard took the lead and began to perform tasks. They will work with the police to maintain public security in the three provinces and serve as the second-line force of the National Defense Forces.

    After two months of planning for the Hanshui and Hanchen lines, the Wuchang to Hunan Changde railway line, which is shared by the two lines, also broke ground from Changde and Wuchang at the same time. All the newly formed railway corps were used in this construction, wearing military uniforms.  The favorable conditions for receiving military treatment attracted a large number of young laborers from the three provinces to join, but outsiders could not understand why Yang Qiu was carrying out so much construction work and holding himself back.

    After the coal mine resources in Daye, Qijiang and Xiangtan are integrated, and several proven mining areas to be developed are remotely controlled in Pingxiang, Jiangxi and Guibei, Kuang Jingyang also made it clear that the coal mine output in the three provinces can exceed 3 million by the end of the year.  Ton scale is only two million less than the five million annual output in the five-year plan. In order to promote coal utilization, Yang Qiu also thought of briquette technology and left it to them to study.

    Pan Tianshou, who went to Dangtu, also received good news. Not only did he locate the Nanshan and Taochong iron mines, but also the later-famous Luohe Iron Mine was found in advance under Yang Qiu's guidance. However, the Luohe Iron Mine was surrounded by  Complex waterways are difficult to mine, so he only made suggestions on whether to mine them.  Although it was impossible to predict precise figures like later generations, the discovery of Tu Iron Mine inspired Pan Tianshuo and others who dreamed of saving the country with steel. He immediately called Yang Qiu and asked for a huge sum of money to buy the three mines.

    Yang Qiu also responded positively. Although the financial pressure was huge, he still wrote a letter to the left-behind government in Nanjing personally and called Mr. Sun Wen to request the mining rights of these three major mining areas. Who would dare to do so at this time?  Offend this great warlord?  After the reputation of saving the country through industry was exaggerated in newspapers, they had no choice but to turn a blind eye and sell three mines for three million.  Pan Tianshu, who had obtained the land deed and mining documents, could hardly believe it at such a low price. He immediately took the mined iron ore raw materials to the United States for testing in person. He also said that he would recruit overseas Chinese steel workers and select steel equipment himself to avoid accidents.  When the Hanyang Steel Plant was first built, the incompatibility between the ore and the equipment resulted in the embarrassment that steel could only be used by civilians.

    After the equipment and technical experts provided by the United States arrived one after another, the reconstruction of the Hubei Steel Plant officially began. Due to difficulties in transporting heavy equipment, the Chongqing Steel Plant will not be able to enter trial production until at least the middle of next year. Fortunately, it is planned that the Chongqing Steel Plant is a special steel base.  , so there is no rush.  The equipment delivery of Dangtu Steel Plant will not be until the end of the year, so the steel dream in 1912 has just begun. However, he always prepared for a rainy day, not to mention having a secret identity, selected a group of young technical backbones, and imported a batch of manufactured steel from Germany.  oxygen equipment, and began to study the top-blown furnace steel-making method. This research technology was also listed as top secret along with engine and other technologies.

    In order to avoid conflicts and to ensure the safety of freeing up construction land, Hubei Industrial Company's steel powder factory was disbanded, the steel refining equipment for weapons was moved to the company's new factory, and the gunpowder factory was moved to Xiantao, which is sparsely populated and has relatively convenient transportation.  , officially began to produce TNT yellow ** using imported toluene and a three-stage manufacturing method.  At the same time, in order to reduce the import of raw materials, the new Hunan chemical plant was also put on the agenda and began to purchase equipment from Germany. It was included in the five-year plan focus along with the Chongqing synthetic ammonia fertilizer plant. In addition, Yang Qiu also deployed plans as early as possible  With the idea of ??utilizing the phosphate rock that Xiaogan is blessed with, he also loaned 3 million to Song Weichen to build three more cement plants in Sichuan and Hunan to supply the construction plan that could no longer meet the demand.

    This series of procurement and construction plans, contracts and loans to domestic businessmen made Germany and the United States smile crookedly. At the same time, it also quickly depleted the finances of the three provinces. Even the German loans originally intended for military expenditures had to be used for military expenses.  Half of it was misappropriated. Fortunately, the Ziliujing Salt Mine gave Yang Qiu a little hope. Since the three provinces were fully opened to Ziliu salt merchants, the army also cooperated to open Guizhou and Yunnan.? and the Guangxi market, the adoption of this tax has reduced the exploitation of intermediate links, and the already heavy salt tax has reached a monthly payment of 3 million for the first time.  Shen Shukai also lost no time in auctioning a large number of real estate properties during the Anmin Operation, and obtained a huge sum of more than 30 million, which finally relieved the financial pressure of excessive and too concentrated construction in 1912.

    Compared with construction and finance, political construction progressed more smoothly, especially the arrival of Tang Shaoyi, which made up for Yang Qiu's lack of qualified civil affairs managers and political talents. Yuan Shikai angrily agreed to his resignation and appointed Lu Zhengxiang as the second general.  After becoming Prime Minister for the second time, Yang Qiu also quickly appointed him as the Chief of Civil Affairs of the three provinces.  Tang Shaoyi also used his influence to attract many civil affairs talents, and also expanded the administrative crash schools in the three provinces that had been made public.

    At the same time, the joint parliament of the three provinces officially held its first plenary meeting in Wuchang at the end of April, in which more than a dozen members from Guizhou became the hottest topic.  Under the surging political tide, the National Social Democratic Party was officially established in Hankou. This new party was dazzling as soon as it appeared in the party building in the early years of the Republic of China. It not only swept away the joint parliaments of the three provinces, but also included Tang Shaoyi, Zhang Taiyan, Tan Yankai,  Deng Xiaoke, Pu Dianjun, Wang Zhengting and other figures with important positions and connections in the three provinces also swore to join the National Socialist Party, and the biggest shock came from the Nanjing caretaker government!

    After several efforts by Sun Wen, Li Yuanhong quickly approached the National Socialist Party and became one of the executive members of the National Socialist Party!  Party Chairman Yang Qiu has become China's largest warlord, and when a vice president joined and became an executive committee member, the National Socialist Party suddenly became the most dazzling party in the domestic political arena after the Democratic Party.

    With the emergence of the National Socialist Party, everyone's attention was suddenly focused on the congressional election at the end of the year. Even Liang Qichao, who had taken refuge in Japan, returned to China for the first time to form the Progressive Party, and won over Cai E, the second largest warlord in the southwest, and the Yunnan Army.  Once inside, competition, propaganda and various political platforms fill the newspapers every day.

    In the military, Yang Qiu also did not relax due to financial difficulties. The new rifle handed over to Germany for improvement was finally finalized with the help of Mauser engineers. After it was named Type 1912, he immediately ordered 50,000 rifles and 5 million rounds to Germany and the United States respectively.  After the order for bullets, Hubei Industrial Company, which had completed its initial transformation, quickly gave up making Hanyang and began manufacturing Type 12 rifles and new 7.62*51 bullets.  After Chen Qimei resigned under pressure, the restrictions on Shanghai Jiangnan Industrial Company completely disappeared. Yang Qiu ignored the opposition of the left-behind government in Nanjing and moved all the guns and equipment to Chongqing on the grounds of private industry and incorporated it into Sichuan Industrial Company. At the same time, he and the United States  They jointly carried out a major renovation of Jiangnan, expanded the dock and introduced new equipment.

    Artillery is also changing with each passing day. When Germany delivered the second batch of Krupp field guns, it also brought all 300 7.62 mm Madsen light machine guns purchased on behalf of Germany, which further strengthened the strength of the army.  The manufacturing of mortars has also entered its peak period with the arrival of special steel pipes from the United States. As many as 30 mortars can be delivered to the army every month. As for the later Japanese Type 92 70mm light mountain gun, samples have finally been produced and tested.  After the gun barrels ordered by Germany arrive, the speed will slowly increase.  Taking into account the increase in artillery firepower, Yang Qiu once again exchanged 108 Krupp 1909-type 105mm howitzers with Germany by cooperating in the manufacture of the French Snyder 75mm rapid-fire cannon. At the same time, he also introduced all the drawings for imitation. If he were not afraid of  To scare Germany, he even wanted to introduce two "Big Bell Towers" to add to the facade.

    Naturally, Yang Qiu didn't want the heavy and valuable "Miss France". After the advent of the 70mm light mountain gun, he even wanted to withdraw it from Krupp, but its paper data made Germany ecstatic. You know, this can change  New technology in cannon history!  Therefore, more than a dozen artillery experts were immediately dispatched from Qingdao to Hanyang to prepare to turn the drawings into physical objects as soon as possible in order to test whether the standard of 15 rounds per minute can really be achieved.  Krupp even said that it would send people from Germany to meet this young genius with unparalleled abilities in "artillery design" and fully promote the cooperation between Krupp and Hubei Industrial Group.  As for who will be stronger when "Miss France" and "Miss Germany" meet two years later, this is no longer a consideration for him.

    The weather has become as hot as the development of the three provinces.

    In the small courtyard by the Wuchang River, as soon as Miao Luo entered the house, he saw Rui Yao wearing a short shirt and practicing boxing. The moon-white underwear was tightly wrapped around her body.  Her hair hung down to her waist like flowing water. Under her tight slender waist was her plump and smooth buttocks wrapped in pants. Her strong and smooth legs made her eyes light up. When her fists and feet opened and closed, the spring light loomed, and she was immediately surprised.  He shouted: "Senior sister, your body is not fully recovered yet, why are you practicing boxing and kicking?!"

    "Where are you looking, sister? I don't know, I thought it was some gangster who came into my yard." Ruiyao closed her fist and rolled her eyes at Miao Luo. Seeing her looking at her body in a daze, she felt a little proud.  , twenty-four and five years old, in full bloom, with a body as ripe as a berry, and exuding an aura that makes men salivate. If his father hadn¡¯t died young, he would have had to support himself.The position of leader of a gang should probably be relinquished long ago.

    "The doctor said everything is fine. I either sleep or eat every day. If I don't move, I will gain weight." Ruiyao wiped her sweat. Since there were still maids outside, she was not afraid of outsiders coming, so she didn't put on her coat immediately and took a sip of tea.  The crescent moon at the back suddenly raised, looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Sister, why are you back at this time? Did he make you angry? Tell me, and I will scold him for you."

    "Senior sister, what are you talking about? He made me angry." Miao Luo snarled, stamped her feet and said, "I came back to pack things." Packing things?  Ruiyao thought something had happened, and asked quickly: "What happened? Why are you packing your things so well? Didn't the old man promise you to stay here, and also said you would come to see him at the end of the year?"

    "Sister, where are you thinking? Tomorrow morning I will go to Guizhou withhim for a few days."

    "Oh" Rui Yao deliberately prolonged her voice after hearing this, but she felt a little sour in her heart. She said with a bad smile: "It turns out that we are going to stay together and fly together. It's great! Finally, we don't have to watch it every day.  My sister is frowning and sighing, which makes me, the senior sister, worry about you every day and I don¡¯t even have time to deal with the help. "

    "Who is frowning and sighing?" During this time, her wish came true. She still had a little bit of the freedom and ease of a daughter of the world, and her whole person became more and more bright. When she heard Ruiyao deliberately making fun of her, she stamped her feet and said coquettishly: "Why should I bother you to deal with it?  Help."

    Ruiyao knew Miao Luo's thoughts best. She walked to her side and held her waist and smiled: "After we took photos together last time, who posted them on the bedside? And who hid in the quilt and looked at them every day? Who did it every day early in the morning?"  Just run out and come back in the middle of the night?"

    "I'm going to work" Miao Luo's cheeks were so ripe that they were dripping with water. He quickly touched Gao Long in retaliation and said with a smile, "I'm looking at my sister as well. Look at you."  ¡­ So big.¡±

    "Damn girl, where are you touching!"

    The two of them laughed together and didn't notice that the maid came in with Yang Qiu. When they saw the two of them, they were chasing after each other, their hairpins were slanted, and Ruiyao almost leaked her love. Not only was the maid shocked, but Yang Qiu was also shocked.  He also coughed a few times and lowered his head.

    "Ah~!" The high-pitched voice made people's eardrums feel hot. It seemed that the injury was completely healed.  Rui Yao hurriedly hid behind Miao Luo, her face flushed with shame and she shouted: "Yang Qiu! You why did you just come into my yard! Chuntao, didn't I ask you to guard outside?"

    Maid Chuntao also suppressed her lips, and quickly brought her coat to put it on and said, "Gang leader, I just shouted."

    "Why didn't I hear you?" Rui Yao muttered and pinched Chuntao hard. With the coat covering her body, she finally felt at ease, but her enlarged breasts, which were not tightly wrapped, still completely exposed her curves.  Yang Qiu raised his head and saw that she had already put on her clothes. He smiled bitterly and said, "Gang Leader Rui, I just asked the maid to report, and" He looked around and said, "This seems to be my home.  "

    Ruiyao was speechless. This was indeed the house that Shen Shukai had given to him. Because he was worried that Jin had diarrhea, Yang Qiu placed her here to recuperate after she was injured. Miao Luo also lived here after she came, so the two of them  They all regarded this place as their own home, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while.  Ruiyao was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said arrogantly: "Since we are allowed to live in this house, it is our house. How can we barge in if we are different between men and women?"

    Seeing Ruiyao rushing people away, Miao Luo quickly stopped her and asked, "Brother Yang, why are you here all of a sudden? What's the matter?"

    "I'm here to discuss the reorganization of the Yangtze Gang with Gang Leader Rui. If it's inconvenient forget it." As soon as Yang Qiu finished speaking, Miao Luo quickly pulled Ruiyao over and told Chuntao to pour tea and said:  "Brother Yang is here, please sit down. Senior sister just plopped." She thought of the crazy look of the two of them just now, and laughed unconsciously: "It was just for the convenience of practicing boxing and kicking."

    "Practice boxing and kicking? Gang Leader Rui, you are in good health. Try to do as little strenuous exercise as possible." Yang Qiu expressed concern, but Rui Yao didn't appreciate it, especially when he said "Gang Leader" on the left and "Gang Leader" on the right, it was clear that he deliberately distanced the two of them.  , snorted softly, sat across from him and asked angrily: "My fourth uncle told me about the reorganization, how to change it?"

    Looking at Rui Yao who was fuming, Yang Qiu had to admit that she was a beautiful woman. She was 1.65 meters tall and well proportioned. She didn't have the incongruity of long body and short legs, and her figure was not even covered by a wide robe.  Hot.  However, although she is unparalleled in beauty and there is a little ambiguity between the two of them, today she is really here to reorganize the Yangtze Gang.

    In fact, he had already sent someone to inquire about the details of the Yangtze Gang. Although the Yangtze Gang is a gang, under the management of successive gang leaders, it has actually become a bit like a transportation company in later generations. It has nearly a hundred ships of various sizes, and in addition to Hankou, it also covers Chongqing.  , Changsha, Jiujiang and even Shanghai all have certain powers and jurisdiction.There are at least 10,000 coolies and boatmen in ?. It can be said that as long as the Yangtze River route is used, except for foreigners and Japanese, basically no one can escape the sight of the Yangtze River Gang!

    Hubei has been a land of hundreds of battles since ancient times. In order to defend it for a long time, in addition to a strong military force, you also need to truly master this artery flowing with money!

    The total value of merchandise trade related to the Yangtze River Waterway is astonishing. The annual trade volume of the three towns of Hankou alone reaches hundreds of millions. Plus Hunan, Jiangxi and Sichuan further away, controlling this wealth is his greatest wish.  Therefore, since the Hubei War, I have been trying to turn the Yangtze Gang into my own transportation company.  He told Chang Si about this matter, but it was delayed because Ruiyao was injured before and was inconvenienced. With Han Yeping being taken back, more than a dozen transport ships belonging to Han Yeping needed someone to lead them, so he  coming.

    Rui Yao couldn't bear the two looks that were going back and forth, as if they were about to strip her naked. However, the reorganization of the Yangtze Gang involved the foundation that her father had worked hard to build, and Chang Si had mentioned to herself many times that the gang was no longer suitable.  , so she didn't want it to fall into her hands, so she could only bite her red lips tightly and let Yang Qiu's "frivolous" eyes wreak havoc back and forth.

    After seeing the girl in a panic, Yang Qiucai said: "Miss Rui, the Yangtze Gang has a history of decades, but now is the Republic of China, and gang management is no longer in line with the trend of the times, so I think we should start reorganizing it as soon as possible."

    Ruiyao's expression recovered a lot when she talked about the business. She frowned and asked, "How should we change it? There are more than 10,000 gang members and boatmen in the Yangtze Gang, and there are no less than 50,000 or 60,000 people including their families. If we change it, we will finally change it."  It won¡¯t work if they are all scattered.¡±

    Rui Yao's first thought was to help the people below. It can be seen that she also really wants to do something. Yang Qiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Miss Rui, the reorganization does not mean that the workers are no longer wanted. What I mean is that you can no longer use the looseness of the gang to  The model used to manage workers should be changed to transportation companies.¡±

    "Transportation company? You put it simply. Running a company is not just about words. It requires real money to operate. Most of our Yangtze Gang are coolies, or they are short-distance boats. They are not as good as the big ships of foreigners, and they don't have any  The Japanese have money, how can they compete?¡±

    "The purpose of reorganizing is to enhance competitiveness. Think about it, we Chinese now have many transportation companies, large and small, on the Yangtze River, but compared with the British, they are too small and too chaotic, so I want to change them." Yang Qiu knew  Ruiyao was worried about something. She opened her palm and waved it in front of her eyes. She said in a kind and seductive tone: "I will use 1 million as working capital first, which will be considered as my shareholding. In addition, Han Yeping has more than a dozen ships dedicated to transporting ore and coal.  I am also going to hand over the management of the large river ships to you, so that Han Yeping can focus on production. I have also ordered more than twenty high-horsepower flat-bottomed river ships in Germany, the United States and Shanghai, and I will also hand them over to you. In the future, we will have money.  , just buy an ocean-going ship to develop maritime transportation. Except for me to arrange a financial manager, everything else is up to you. How about we slowly make the transportation company stronger together? "

    Ruiyao was so shaken by that big hand that she felt dizzy. She wished she could grab it and take two bites to satisfy her hatred!  1 million can buy the broken-down ships in his gang, not to mention that Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong sold iron and steel in order to seize Han Yeping's fleet, which was composed entirely of 2,000-ton river ships.  Give him the wheel, so many assets are not enough even if the Yangtze Gang, old and young, are packed up and sold!  What does this man want?  Could it be that he wanted to, want himself?  !

    Thinking of this, Ruiyao felt as if a fire was rising under her belly. Looking at the handsome, tall, young but already powerful man in front of her, she secretly thought that it would be nice to marry him, but  How can I be worthy of my junior sister like this?  After being the leader of the gang for so many years, she was no show-off. She frowned and said, "You have a good idea, but the British are very strict about transportation on the river. I'm afraid there will be conflicts after our reorganization."

    Yang Qiu nodded, secretly thinking that this beautiful gang leader was not stupid after all, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured about this. First of all, our current transportation is mainly based on ores from the three provinces, and we will not move on the big business of the British for the time being.  The way is to grab all the business of the Chinese transportation companies first, and when we become stronger in the future, we can slowly poach business from the British."

    Miao Luo was now focused on Yang Qiu and said: "Senior sister, what Brother Yang said are all good things. I don't know much about Jiang Shang, but those who can do shipping in the United States are big companies, and the profits are huge.  Not to mention feeding a gang of 10,000 people, it will not be a problem to support 100,000 people when the business grows. Many transportation companies in the United States have hundreds of thousands of coolies and dock workers alone."

    Ruiyao nodded and agreed with each other. In fact, she also knew that it was only a matter of time before the gang died. Just look at the fate of the robe brothers who have been running rampant for hundreds of years. If the Yangtze Gang hadn't appeared during the Hubei War,  Without any effort, the man in front of me might have forcibly annexed it without even discussing it.  After settling the reorganization matter, she suddenly smiled, looked at the two of them and said with a smile:??Junior sister, it¡¯s true that instead of helping your sister get more benefits, you are just anxious to help your man to annex our Yangtze Gang.  "

    "Senior sister!" Miao Luo's face was so tender that he could not be teased like this, not to mention that Yang Qiu was still beside him.  Yang Qiudao was not embarrassed and smiled: "Luoer, go and pack your things. We will leave for Guizhou soon."

    "Leave now? Aren't you leaving tomorrow morning?" Ruiyao's beautiful eyes dimmed. She also hoped to spend more time with Yang Qiu due to the reorganization, but she didn't expect to leave after just sitting for a while.  Seeing Miao Luo happily going upstairs to pack things, he didn't know where he got the courage. He suddenly walked up to him and gave him a hard look: "You have invested so much money and boat, are you not afraid that I will give others an advantage after I get married?  How aboutyou marry me, my sister."

    "Marry my sister"
