After meeting with colleagues at the Xinhua Association, Song Biao took a train back to Fengtian City at night. At this time, embassies in various countries believed that Song Biao was going to be undertaken by the railway and decided at one time the second except Russia

The big partner, competing for railways is only one aspect, and assisting Song Biao in governing the entire three eastern provinces and obtaining more benefits from it is the real focus, and this kind of competition becomes even more intense.

Italy, Sweden, and Belgium were eliminated first. Japan thought there was hope, but in fact it was difficult to get a contract with a screw. The United States had no intention of directly competing with any country and continued to maintain a neutral attitude. In the end, there were only Britain, France and Germany.

Britain, France and Germany could not form an alliance to run against Song Biao, and the situation was increasingly favorable to Song Biao.

However, the railway dispute between the three eastern provinces was just a bait for Song Biao to win financial dominance. He actually didn't care much about who the railway was purchased to whom he ended up handing over.

After reaching an agreement on financial reform in the three northeastern provinces with France and Russia, Song Biao quietly took a train to leave the Liaodong Peninsula and returned to Fengtian City two days later.

In the past month, the three northeastern provinces have had a very fast personnel filling rate. Under Yinchang's leadership, more than 60 new officials have taken office in Fengtian Province and the other two provinces. The most important of them is that they are the same as the governor of the three provinces.

Tang Shaoyi, the Minister of the Reclamation Supervision of the Three Northeastern Provinces.

After the Zhao-Song dispute ended, Song Biao had almost captured the power of the three provinces. Yinchang, Zengyun, and Cheng Dequan all dared not compete with him, so Tang Shaoyi naturally dared not. He heard that Song Biao returned to the Fengtian Army in the early morning.

In the morning, Tang Shaoyi immediately arrived at the Dongling Military Headquarters in a carriage accompanied by Yinchang. He came to pay homage to Song Biao.

During the previous few days of negotiations with Yinchang, Song Biao and Yinchang made a new agreement on the planning of Fengtian City, and divided Fengtian into Beiling, Heping, Shenyang, Xicheng New District, Shenyang New District, Dongling, Su

Jiatun, Shennan New District.

Dongling and Sujiatun are both part of the camp, plus Zhujiatun and Qipanshan. These are the four major garrison camps of the New Army in Fengtian Prefecture, and are unified under the jurisdiction of the New Army Headquarters of the New Army. Such four major camps are also collectively known as

It is the military headquarters camp.

The Qing government basically no longer dared to have any restraint on Song Biao. The only restriction was that Song Biao abides by the organization of the new army in the three eastern provinces and four towns. The extrajudicial grace was to add four towns to the headquarters of the Northeast New Army, which was the highest count as five.

Town. The Beiyang Army in Zhili was six towns, which gave the Qing government some psychological advantages.

Previously, when Yuan Shikai divided the six towns, the Jinzhou area that originally belonged to Fengtian Province, was also included in the Beiyang Army. Although he had not had time to send troops to garrison, he had already levied a lot in the Jinzhou area to raise military funds. Now, I would like to give Yuan Shikai a brave man.

I don't dare to continue doing this.

Song Biao and Yuan Shikai communicated about this in the telegram, and both sides were very polite. Yuan Shikai no longer continued to pay taxes in the Jinzhou area, while Song Biao would station a town in Jinzhou.

Among the four camps of the headquarters of the Northeast New Army, Dongling District is not only the headquarters, but also the largest total area. From the east second gate of Fengtian City to the east, to huā Mountain, the area is equivalent to the entire old Fengtian City area.

It is six kilometers away from the Fengtian Governor's Office to the Dongling Military Department. You have to take a carriage from the two places. Tang Shaoyi and Yinchang arrived in a carriage.

At this time, Song Biao was preparing to inspect the Far East Non-commissioned Officer School. At noon, he planned to squeeze out time to negotiate with Shu Gaoli and others from the Far East Printing Bureau. In the afternoon, he went to the camp to inspect the second phase of the training of each unit. The schedule was very closely arranged. I heard that Tang Shaoyi and

Yinchang came, and Song Biao still squeezed out time to meet them in his office.

Because there were too many affairs, Song Biao stopped picking them up. He sent Jiang Fangzhen and Jiang Yanxing to greet them, while he continued to process various official documents in the office.

Song Biao has not returned to the military headquarters for a month, and various documents and orders to be signed are piled up. After Tang Shaoyi and Yinchang arrived at the office, before they could come forward to meet, Song Biao waved his hand and signaled them to sit first.

Waiting next to him for a while, let him deal with the things in his hands in advance.

All the urgent matters to be handled are the logistics department. The Russian army has basically evacuated during this period, and there is no need to transport a large amount of waste materials back, such as quilts. When in Dalian, Song Biao and Xie Yenisji were the prime minister.

After discussing this, Song Biao bought it at one time because the price is very low.

As the new army expands, all kinds of materials have to be redistributed. The weather is getting colder and colder now. Whether to repurchase new military uniforms or continue to use Russian winter clothes is also a question.

After browsing all the plans formulated by the Second Staff Office, Song Biao thought for a moment and decided to continue wearing the Russian military uniform. Although there were certain political risks, saving money and keeping warm was the first priority.

He re-annotated the alternative plan he had formulated in the Second Staff Office, requiring the Logistics Office to select suitable Russian winter clothes for modification, appropriately cut some of the m1885-style Cossack infantry sea blue military uniform materials, and renovate the original m1881-style conscript gray large military decoration

, the collar was changed to a sea blue turtle collar, and the cuffs were also changed to Polish V-shaped double-layer sea blue cuffs. The hem was uniformly cut 3.5 inches short. This style was the m1905 New Army infantry winter clothing, and the cavalry uniformly used m1887 cavalry tops.

In addition to the urgent winter clothing problem, the number of 75mm artillery shells reserved by the headquarters is insufficient, and the Japanese army's second batch of materials exchanged cannons has not yet been produced. The existing reserves not only cannot guarantee the emergency preparations, but also cannot meet daily training.

The artillery training plan was forced to be interrupted and changed to conventional combat training.

The Second Office of Staff has appointed Jiang Yanxing to order with the French side urgently. The French Schneider Weapons Company is willing to supply the missile for a long time, but the price for production equipment is still high.

After reading the quotation provided by the French side, Song Biao commented on "Purchase some artillery shells first to respond to emergency, ensure training and preparation reserves. If the Japanese army is unable to supply according to the contract, the third batch of exchange materials will be suspended, and the production of 7.5% grenades will be produced.

The equipment and machine tool supply plan will be temporarily shelved, and will be renegotiated later. "These two urgent matters will be handled in advance.

Song Biao transferred the two reports after approval to Jiang Fangzhen and asked him to go and handle them immediately. Then he got up and invited Yinchang and Tang Shaoyi to sit in front of him and said, "Sorry, the military has too much backlog of official duties."

Tang Shaoyi hurriedly said: "What is the mistake of the Governor? It is the mistake of the subordinates who are rashly seeking a meeting. I don't know that the Governor is so busy with military affairs. I hope the Governor will forgive you!"

Song Biao had no expression on his face and asked them to sit down first. After the orderly soldiers brought the tea, he said to Yinchang first: "I have already negotiated with various countries about the establishment of the Northeast Bank in the three eastern provinces. In addition to the Russian lease area and

In addition to the Japanese rented land, all the three eastern provinces are allowed to use Northeast currency. The temporary reservation policy is that Northeast Bank has the only metal currency issuance rights and the issuance rights of silver and copper coupons, while other licensed banks are in Northeast silver coupons.

On the basis of issuing silver coupons. Currently, except for Northeast Bank, only Far East Bank and China-Russia Daosheng Bank have the right to issue the silver coupons. In order to get Britain, Germany and other countries to agree to this clause, we may also allow the Yingde Bank to issue silver coupons later.

The only thing that can be used for bonds, copper round coupons and metal currency issuance rights must be firmly controlled in the hands of Northeast Bank, which is the fundamental basis for controlling the financial dominance of the three eastern provinces."

Yinchang was overjoyed and said, "If it can be done, then our three northeastern provinces will have enough financial support to implement the new policy. I just don't know who the Governor intends to send to host the Northeast Bank?"

Song Biao already had a suitable candidate in his heart, but seeing that Yinchang's expression seemed to be someone who wanted to recommend it, he said, "I'm still thinking about it for the time being. I don't know if there is anyone who can choose Lord Yinchang?"

Hearing that Song Biao was still considering it, Yinchang smiled and said, "The officials thought that the Tongshang Bank was supervising, and Sheng Xuanhuai, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Works, was quite appropriate. I don't know what the emperor wanted? The officials had heard that Mr. Yuan, the governor of Zhili, talked about this.

People are quite loving, and they must be a suitable candidate!”

Song Biao said disapprovingly, saying, "This person is a half-baked person. He has the ability to do business. He basically doesn't understand how to handle modern financial affairs. I have many more suitable candidates than him."

Yinchang seemed a little surprised and said, "Since there is someone else who chooses, the subordinates are worried. However, Governor Yuan heard that the three provinces planned to set up official banks and was quite interested in recommending this person."

Song Biao sneered and said, "It's not the turn of Lord Yuan to worry about the affairs of the three eastern provinces. I appreciate his love, but Sheng Xuanhuai's level is indeed not enough to handle such things. I am on the Liaodong Peninsula this time and

Zhang Kangren met. He had previously graduated from the Law Department of Columbia University and worked in the San Francisco Branch of Yokohama Bank in Japan for many years. He was familiar with the financial regulations and banking business of various countries. I have decided to invite him to serve as the director of the Northeast Bank. In addition, I plan to do so.

By the way, he was asked to serve as the general director of Far East Bank."

As soon as he heard this, Yinchang no longer dared to suggest others, and immediately said, "That's the most suitable one."

Song Biao turned to Tang Shaoyi and asked, "What do you think?"

Tang Shaoyi replied cautiously: "Zhang Kangren is a very talented person, proficient in Western laws and is also versed in banking business. He is indeed the best candidate."

This is a very smart and smart person. He knew that the reason why he could become the chief minister of the three northeastern provinces was mostly due to Song Biao's gift. Song Biao's strong reference to his old classmates now seems to have also shown a lot of things.

Song Biao looked at Tang Shaoyi keenly and said, "The matters of the three provinces' reclamation are of great importance. If the number of unemployed people in Zhili and Luyu can be stable within three years, the Northeast will definitely be much more stable.

The people can still have taxes, and only with taxes can they have military and political affairs. As the Minister of the Reclamation Office of the Three East Provinces, you have an important task. Lord Yinchang and I considered more than ten people in the position of Minister of Reclamation Office, but in the end they decided to

The court strongly recommends you to take charge, and it is precisely because this matter is of great importance and only you can do it. I just don’t know what plans do you have for this matter?"

Tang Shaoyi replied cautiously: "The lower officials should obey the order of the Governor. As for the matter of land reclamation, the lower officials think about the same as the Governor. First, set up the reclamation bureau in each prefecture, and measure wasteland in various places, and first set it as

The official camp is divided into places for each garrison, and the people are selected to settle a hundred households as one garrison, and after five years of reclaiming, they will be owned by the people. In addition, I think that when planning, you must consider it thoroughly. Set up a town for every ten garrisons, first

Establish a town and set up a town. Each town builds a road and connects it to the county. Each town has a security chief, and each town has a job as the head of the town. Each town has a gate chief, and each town has a gate chief, and a gate manager."

Song Biao thought about it and found that the first one was basically his idea, and the next one was Tang Shaoyi's idea. It should be said that this idea is quite good.

After thinking for a while, Song Biao and Tang Shaoyi discussed: "I don't worry about anything else, but I'm worried that there are many people in Baojia, the quality is uneven, and the law is corrupt. Do you think this is feasible? First, recruit suitable security officials from various places in Zhili and Shandong.

The candidates are based on knowledge and knowledge, and are included in the official system, and are supervised by local reclamation bureaus. They are uniformly trained in Fengtian Province. Those who pass are selected and those who fail are eliminated. You have another group of people who are responsible for inspecting the reclamation departments. If they are corrupt, you will be corrupt.

Those who deduct are strictly investigated. I will also send another group of people to randomly check. If you do not find out the other party's corruption, deduction, or are rampant in the village, and I find out, I will ask you, and you will go find it again.

The various suggestions from the Reclamation Bureau are asking, if the other party can take the blame, you will be lucky and cannot bear it. I have to report to the court to replace people. I hope you can understand that it is important for the three eastern provinces to belong to our country. You and I will bear it.

There is no need to be any infamous. If I lose the three northeastern provinces in the hands of the three of us, if I have family and children, I can only kill my children and then kill myself, and apologize to the people of the world for death."

Tang Shaoyi felt cold when he heard this, and he could only grit his teeth and said, "The officials must investigate strictly and never dare to neglect them at all."

Song Biao continued: "The reclamation is also related to the removal of bandits. The reason why the bandits in Kanto cannot be calmed down for a long time is that there are many bandits in various places because the three provinces are rare and there are many barren mountains and ridges. If they can be closely connected with the local garrisons.

Contact us, I asked the police bureaus to arrange personnel to train civil defense teams in the local area. There are twenty people in one village and two hundred people in each town. This can effectively cooperate with the New Northeast Army to eliminate bandits from all over the country and give the people in three provinces a peaceful life.

I personally send someone to supervise and handle this matter, and you also need to cooperate closely, especially in Jilin Province, so you must do your best."

Tang Shaoyi immediately bowed and said, "The official understands."

Song Biao nodded and said, "Then I have nothing to worry about. Lord Yinchang and I understand your abilities very well. Since you are asked to handle this matter, you will naturally feel at ease with you.

I came to work in the three provinces. As the governor of the three provinces, I should have welcomed you immediately, but I just came back from Liaodong. There are all things in the military camp, and I have to hurry up and handle more things. Let's do this, I just invited Li Enfu as the first to serve as the first.

My translator, you must have been classmates studying in the United States together. I asked him to entertain you on your behalf. You will first reminisce about the past, and I will come to welcome you at noon to save this time. I must go to the Logistics Office and the Military Academy."

Tang Shaoyi was overjoyed. He thought it would be great to meet him, but he didn't expect that he would meet again with his old classmates. He immediately thanked Song Biao and left with the governor of Fengtian Yinchang.

Song Biao stood up and sent them to the office, and then took them to the logistics department to check the winter supplies of Xinjun.

Since the callback to Shenyang in July, the capital in hand has been sufficient. Song Biao has been investing money and manpower to build the camps of the Shenyang Military Department and surrounding camps, import boilers from Russia, Germany and other countries, and set up bathhouses to ensure that all camps are

If you can use hot water, there will be more room for adjustment in training, but the coal consumption is not small.

Fortunately, I have Fushun Coal Mine in my hand. Although there has not been a large-scale mining of Fushun Coal Mine, the amount of local coal mining is still enough for the new army to use.!~!
