Chapter 109 The Tsar is helpless
Yuan Shikai's request seemed a bit unethical, but after Xi Benxiong's report, he was approved by Wang Yi. In fact, it doesn't matter. The training methods of Da Shang are not worth keeping them confidential. They all say that they are institutionalized. Of course, the same set of things can be used to train elite soldiers and strong generals, but others may not be able to do it. Moreover, most people do not have the background of a chaebol like Da Shang, but in terms of bullet consumption, it is probably enough for a group of people to feel distressed.
Xiang Long is now the commander-in-chief of Vladivostok, with both navy and army in charge. Before fighting Vladivostok, the Russians left many warships. In the eyes of Wang Yi, they were all outdated things, but for those areas without navals, these ships are just a weapon to open the door.
In the Gatechina Palace in the suburb of St. Petersburg, the new Tsar Alexander III is talking about the Far East with the Secretary of the Army Dmitry Alexeyevich Miliukin, and his father's illegitimate son Yevgeny Ivanovic Alexeyev.
"Your Majesty, this is a secret letter sent by General Skobelev of Irkutsk. Please check it out." Miliujin submitted information.
After reading the letter for the emperor in his thirties, he was so angry that he slapped the table and cursed: "These bastards in the Northeast Republic are so unscrupulous in the Far East!"
Milikyong and Alexeyev did not dare to say much at this time until Alexander III calmed down again.
"Mi Liujin, what are you going to do? Are we going to send troops?" Alexander III was skeptical about this.
"This..." Miliujin paused for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, we are sparsely populated in the Far East, especially in the Magadan area and the Kamchatka Peninsula, and we are even weak. Even if we send troops, the other side has a navy, which can attack and retreat and defend. We can't do anything about it. Moreover, the climate in the Far East is extremely harsh, and even if we send large troops, we cannot maintain supplies in winter."
Looking at the map of his country, Alexander III knew that what his Army minister said was true.
Alexander III shook his head helplessly and said, "My dear, is there any solution?"
"Your Majesty, I think you'd better use the navy!" Alexeyev suggested at this time.
"Can our navy go so far? Besides, after the Battle of Vladivostok, our navy in the Far East was almost completely destroyed." Alexander III said worriedly.
"So I hope that His Majesty can approve the recent shipbuilding plan proposed by the Admiralty. Only when the navy is strong can we defend the Far East and not be invaded by others."
Mi Liujin thought about it and agreed.
Alexander III sighed and said, "That's it!"
Wang Yi was checking the map of the three eastern provinces, then turned around and asked, "Yazhi, where have we built the railway now?"
"The Ying'an Line has reached Dalian to the south. It went north to Liaoyang to Fengtian, and then to Benxi and Fengcheng to the southeast. It is currently being built to Andong. It is currently being built to Fushun. It is northeast to Qingyuan. It is north to Tieling and Siping. It is estimated that it can be built to Jilin next year. If there is sufficient manpower and the construction between Harbin and Changchun is started at the same time, the main railway lines between the three provinces can be completed within three years."
Wang Yi shook his head and said, "No, it's still too slow!"
"What do you mean?"
"Continue to increase labor recruitment from the Central Plains and North Korea to accelerate railway construction! At the same time, all North Korea and the Northeast Republic are included in the construction scope. The railways must be built to Vladivostok, Miaojie, Yaksar, Nibchu, Chita, and Pyongyang, Seoul and Busan as soon as possible!"
“How long will it take?”
"Three years of main line, five years of branch line!"
Chen Yazhi was so surprised that she couldn't speak. After a long time, she said, "If that happens, we may have financial problems."
Wang Yi walked to her, gently held her in his arms, and said, "No problem. We already have a large amount of gold mines in our hands. As long as we mine them properly, the Da Shang Silver Furnace will have enough gold reserves. By then, we will issue railway bonds within the Qing Dynasty and add some idle foreign funds, so there will be no problem at all."
The girl leaned relaxedly in Wang Yi's arms, and then said, "But the Northeast Republic is easy to say. It was our territory, but will North Korea agree?"
"What do you think?" Wang Yi smiled maliciously.
"You are too domineering!" Chen Yatou, who was hugged by Wang Yiheng, smiled in a coquettish voice. "Why can Queen Min hate you to death!"
"If you hate it, hate it! The little master doesn't care at all. She'd better stay honestly, otherwise I don't mind putting the Dayuanjun of our school back and let him taste the taste of being the king of Korea!"
While Wang Yi was laying out his power in North Korea, the French did not stay honestly.
In March 1882, the French government ordered Livier (Li Weiye), the commander of the Jiaozhizhina Navy, to command the invading army to invade northern Vietnam for the second time. In April, it occupied the Hanoi city walle and then used military ships to conduct reconnaissance, until near Shanxi, northwest of Hanoi.
Before Wang Yi implemented the North Korean strategy, he had already received news from Annan. Unfortunately, there was already beyond his control, so he could only watch coldly. However, it accelerated the production speed of ships in Dashang Shipyards and ships.
Now, in addition to the Yingkou general factory, Dashang Shipyard also has three branches: Lushun, Huludao and Vladivostok. At present, the Lushun factory and Huludao factory have been completed, and trial production has begun. Each has obtained construction orders for a Gentleman-class destroyer and three merchant ships. Vladivostok is still under construction. The six docks in the Yingkou factory are under construction at the same time. In addition to the dreadnought that has not been completed in the short term, Wang Yi has issued a death order to Zhang Jingxiao. In any case, at least two cruisers will be launched before the end of this year! The latest launch date for the remaining warships will be before the end of next year. One of the first batch of warships launched is for Dashang's own use, and the rest are all warships produced for the North and South Oceans.
According to Wang Yi's hope, he wanted to build a warship without sails for the North and South Oceans directly. Later, he found that if coal-fired power was used, it would be obvious that navigation would not last long. When using fuel power, in this era, except for the Northeast region, there seemed to be no possibility of producing and reserve fuel in other places, so it would be very difficult to replenish the supply. Later, Wang Yi had no choice but to choose the sail steam hybrid power. The cowhide of Xu Jianyin was vain.
Building such armored cruisers is not difficult for big merchants at all. Mature multi-swelling steam engine technology has been used on merchant ships, which can be improved and installed on warships. The advantage of this is to save water. Of course, the disadvantage is that the efficiency is a bit low. The other equipment is also steam-powered. There is a 12 6-inch triple gun, which has no power and can be loaded manually. There is a rangefinder, no torpedo pipes, and the conventional displacement is 9,100 tons. The maximum speed is 25 knots.
There are actually quite some complaints about the Beiyang and Nanyang without large caliber artillery, but Wang Yi pushed them back.
In addition to using a dual-axis turbine, the light cruiser built by Dashang has a speed of 31 knots, a radar, and a mast removed, the layout also uses a 12-door 6-inch triple main gun, and also has a rangefinder, but it needs to be advanced to the previous generation, with a displacement of 8,400 tons, and there are also many fragments.
This Tianwangyi was teaching medical students, but after class, Tu Xiaohua came to find him.
"Xiaohua, what happened?"
"Captain, we found some problems in western Liaoning." As he said that, Tu Xiaohua handed over a roll of materials to Wang Yi.
When you expand it, there are three words - Jindan Dao!
The great leader of the Jindan cult was named Yang Yuechun. He was born in Yangjiawanzi, Jianchang County, Chengde Prefecture, Zhili (now Shilihu Village, Gouliang Town, Aohan Banner, Zhaowuda League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region). It is said that when he was in his thirties, he met a Taoist priest named Guo, who learned some magic to refine alchemy and exorcise ghosts, so he began to use the weaknesses of the general superstitious people at that time to practice medicine and cheat money everywhere, and soon his family was rich. The main hall was set up in the remote mountain old forest Dahei Mountain. With the protection of abundant trees, he began to recruit believers in the name of practicing medicine.
To the west of Dahei Mountain is the "Zailijiao" (Qinggang) centered on Karaqin, Pingquan and Chifeng. To the east is the "Wushengmen and Golden Bell Cover" circulating in Jinzhou, Yizhou and other places. These two sects are also cults.
Yang Yuechun used the technique without hesitation, mixing the absurd sayings such as "in the principles and teachings" ban on smoking and drinking, and the "Warrior Saint Sect, Golden Bell Cover" and "Entering the teaching skills can avoid knives and guns" to form the so-called "doctrine".
However, compared with the two cults who have been operating for many years, they have already made their own "classics". Yang Yuechun was just a vulgar man who deceived him, so he could only claim to the believers that there are so-called "Dream First Sutra", "Gourd Sutra", "Writing and Exit Method", "Brahma King Sutra", "Guanyin Mantra" and other scriptures. However, since Yang "teached" Taoist priests, "Brahma King" and "Guanyin" were obviously Buddhism, which is just that they are not Taoism or Buddha. It is completely a characteristic used by cults to use orthodox religion to delude people's hearts. That's it, a cult organization known as "supremembering people to learn well" was released from the piece together. Its official full name is "The Supreme Door, the Golden Elixir Dao, a Stick of Incense", and another called "Holy Taoist Gate".
After reading the above introduction, Wang Yi was puzzled and said, "Xiaohua, there are many such evil ways except for ours. What do you care about this?"
Tu Xiaohua still had that ugly face, and she smiled in front of Wang Yi. Of course, laughing at others will probably be frightened and frightened.
"Captain, this man secretly provoked the relationship between the Han and Mongolian people, and created many rumors against the Mongolian people. If it is not stopped in time, it may lead to a disaster! It should be eradicated early!"
"Damn, is someone playing this now?"
