Ten minutes later, under the threat of a horsewhip, the riot was successfully quelled.A total of one recruit died, and more than 10 recruits were injured, many of which were caused by horses from the mobile brigade.But one of the little things can be mentioned, pretending to be honest, with an innocent face, trying to make himself look like Pinghu Ming Dahu was fingered by a leading officer, and then the base guards rushed up, arrested him on the spot, and stood aside Huang Dehu still wanted to stop him, but he was knocked unconscious by the butt of his gun, and Ming Dahu's whereabouts were unknown after that. . .

The End of the Wind and Rain in the Second Volume

Chapter 118 Peaceful Time

The hour hand finally crossed the New Year's Day in 1913, and the Republic of China entered its second year. The wheel of history is still stubbornly moving forward according to the original track.

Song Jiaoren started his plan to form a cabinet by popular elections. He first established the Chinese Nationalist Party, took Sun Yat-sen as the party leader in the name, and acted as the acting party leader himself, and started a nationwide lobbying.Under Song Jiaoren's lobbying, many social celebrities and local politicians joined the Chinese Kuomintang one after another. As a result, the party won 45% of the seats in the Congress and became the largest party in the Congress.

But the largest party may not be able to form a cabinet, because Yuan Shikai in Beijing is not a political idiot. Although Lao Yuan was born in the Qing government, it does not mean that he is not good at Western affairs.In fact, among the princes and ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai was the master of foreign affairs after Li Hongzhang.As the last governor of China stationed in North Korea, the founder of the New Army, and the Minister of Beiyang, Yuan Shikai could not understand Western affairs.

It's just that the winner and the loser, according to political needs, later generations forcibly portrayed Yuan Shikai as a Henan bumpkin and a gangster.

Yuan Shikai quickly organized the Progressive Party secretly by supporting Xiong Xiling and Liang Qichao, and then bought other parties. This basically ensured that although the Kuomintang was the largest party, it could not form a cabinet.

The situation in Beijing is complicated and confusing, but there is rare peace here in Anjiang. . .

The first news is also very important news. More than ten days ago, Wang Zhenyu's wife Ye Ziwen became pregnant.Although Wang Zhenyu thinks that his hard work is not considered hard work, it is still blossoming and bearing fruit.

When his mother told him the news, Wang Zhenyu had all kinds of feelings in his heart. It was difficult for him in later generations to even find a girlfriend, and it was even more difficult to get married and have children.Unexpectedly, in this life, getting married and having children will be a matter of course, smooth sailing, life, ah, is really hard to figure out. . .

Ye Ziwen's status in the Wang family has been rocketed since she had a baby. Her father-in-law, mother-in-law and a large group of servants circle around this daughter-in-law almost every day.This made the elder sister-in-law He feel a little jealous, and complained quietly to her elder brother Wang Zhenkun: "When I was pregnant with Jing'an, I never saw my parents being so attentive..."

Wang Zhenkun quickly covered his wife's mouth: "I think you are confused. Where is the future wealth of our Wang family now? It's in the stomach of the third sibling. If you really want to be good for Jing'an, stop talking nonsense. If you really want to toss If something happens, don’t blame him for divorcing his wife.”

As soon as He Shi heard that he wanted to divorce his wife, he immediately smashed Wang Zhenkun a few times angrily: "It's only been a few days since I put on this dog skin, and I'm thinking about changing my wife, you're doing well! If you dare to divorce me, I'll kill you." Dare to die for you to see..."

After all, Wang Zhenkun was a little afraid of guilt, so he quickly coaxed and lied to stabilize his wife.Recently, his life has been very comfortable. After the establishment of the Armament Department, Wang Zhenkun started working under his cousin Ma Xicheng and became familiar with the business. Then he became the major director of the Statistics Office, responsible for the inventory and management of armament materials. Recently, he was promoted The deputy director of the lieutenant colonel was assigned to be in charge of a batch of military equipment from Shanghai together with Ye Guoxuan, the eldest son of the Ye family.This is the equipment prepared by the Armament Department to prepare for the construction of the military factory, and it is of great significance, so Wang Zhenkun's errands are naturally done with extra effort. . .

In fact, Ye Ziwen didn't like having so many people around her asking questions about her health and well-being. The initial feeling was indeed happiness, but after a few days, she became bored to death.Wang Zhenyu naturally knew what his wife was thinking, so he hurriedly asked his wife what she thought.

Ye Ziwen thought about it for a long time, and felt that Ye Xiaoyue and her mother should be invited to live with her. As for Wang Zhenyu, it was optional.Wang Zhenyu, who was extremely depressed, had to be careful to accompany the smiling face. When he went out, he ordered Zhu Cihan to take his warrant and go to Fengshan Base in Jingzhou to invite Song Commander's wife. Of course, he also followed his wife's request. , issued an order to Song Haomin, asking him not to mess with flowers or steal snacks while Ye Xiaoyue was not at home.

When Wang Zhenyu handed the order to Zhu Cihan, he felt that he was about to cry without tears.No, he called Zhu Cihan back again, and added a sentence to the warrant: "Destroy after reading."

And Song Haomin's adjutant also recorded a very strange scene in his diary: On a certain day of a certain year, Song Haomin, the doll commander with a rare serious face, took a warrant from the commander-in-chief Zhu Cihan, and suddenly saw Kong Zangfang was crying and laughing, weird and inexplicable; what was even weirder was that he burned the warrant in front of Adjutant Zhu, uh. . .

In fact, Wang Zhenyu already knew about the brawl in the Jingzhou recruit camp through other channels, but he didn't want to point it out. He also believed that Song Haomin could handle it well.

Now that the Xiangxi Group has taken shape, it is no longer the same battalion as before. Some things that should be there and those that shouldn’t be will surface in accordance with the inertia of society. I don’t need to worry too much about it. As long as it is still within the controllable range, it is appropriate Close one eye.

Anjiang's business progressed fairly smoothly. With the help of the Belgians, the Jingzhou Cement Plant was completed ahead of schedule, and the Luyang Cement Plant project was launched.After these two projects are completed, the annual cement output in Wang Zhenyu's hands will reach 200 million tons.

The construction of the railway was progressing smoothly, but one of the tunnels collapsed during construction, and the five workers were honored.Wang Zhenyu, who came from later generations, ordered heavy pensions. At the same time, the children of the deceased went to school free of charge and arranged to join the army after graduation;Of course, if there is another accident, then I will order the killing unceremoniously, and I will just weigh the severity by myself.

Various industrial projects are also progressing rapidly, especially soap and matches.Liu Guojun's ability is indeed commendable. . .

The equipment of the power company also reached Anjiang through the operation of the Armaments Department. This power generation is necessary because Paul Wurth and Albert in Luxembourg have agreed to accept the project of the steel plant.They provide data on steel:

1高炉，一吨生铁，需要耗费1吨煤，1.5—2吨铁矿石（含铁量不低于50%）第二种说法，冶炼1吨铁需消耗：矿砂1550kg、溶剂220kg、保温剂等10kg、煤炭400kg、喷吹煤150kg、焦粉52kg、电耗158kw、水1.24m3、蒸汽10kg、氮气30m3、压缩空气13m3、氧气35m3。这是炼铁厂（包括高炉和烧结）铁水成本能源方面的全部消耗2炼钢炉，一吨钢材，需要耗费500公斤焦炭（煤燃烧最高温度为800度，而焦炭可以达到1700度），一吨水，一吨生铁，和其他金属（如钼）。第二种办法，每生产1吨钢材，进出的原材料、产品、废渣为5吨，平均要耗费20吨水、400度电而1吨煤大约可以发2777度电，所以每生产1吨钢材大概需要0.144吨煤3(2)生铁---含碳量介于2%---4.3%的铁碳合金!(3)钢材---含碳量介于0.03%---2%的铁合金!

In fact, Wang Zhenyu doesn't understand the above three things, but he does know one thing, whether it is railways, steelmaking, or even textiles and residential life, electricity is needed.

Anjiang, a model city, needs not only beautiful houses, spacious roads, good medical care, educational facilities and transportation, and excellent drainage channels; it also needs electricity, which is a must for a modern city.

This requires a generator. Facing the booming Anjiang, Hans of Lihe Yangxing has put aside his original idea of selling some old equipment here. He recommended to Wang Zhenyu a 6400-kilowatt steam turbine generator produced by Siemens, Germany. The price is a group of 50 yuan, including 3 boilers.

Hans also helped Wang Zhenyu do the calculations. It takes 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity and 4 tons of coal to make 15 million tons of steel, which is quite an astonishing figure.Wang Zhenyu needs to pay 400 million yuan for generators (eight sets of steam turbine generators) and 3000 million yuan for coal. Of course, the income is also very rich. For example, if coal is used, 50 tons of coking coal is needed, and the cost will be reduced As high as 80 million, and in fact, the annual coal production of the entire Pingxiang Coal Mine is only 10 tons, and the coking coal is only [-] tons. It is no wonder that the steel output of Hanyang Iron and Steel Works is so low, and steel is indeed a supporting industry.

According to the current market situation, the profit of such steelmaking is not high. The price of a ton of steel in the international market is only 60 yuan, while the production cost has reached 45 yuan. No wonder after the Republic of China, Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant stopped producing steel, and It sells pig iron, but the more it produces, the more it pays.For this reason, the German Hans sincerely suggested to our general Wang Zhenyu that it is better to spend money to buy the finished product than to produce it yourself. The difference is actually not much after deducting the freight, and it saves worry, effort and cost.

Wang Zhenyu is now sitting in a chair on the viewing balcony of the study, basking in the sun while looking at the small door, thinking a lot.

In fact, the problem is not as scary as the German guy said. There is actually a time difference here.According to Ding Wenjiang's information and the memory of his later generations, there is enough coal and iron in the Liuzhou area, and there is even a Liupanshui coal mining area in Guizhou.Then the question will look like this:

First, all the steel-making and iron-making equipment was in place, the training of workers was completed, and the formal production of steel was at least the end of 1914 and the beginning of 1915. You must know that the 240 mu of land in the current Anjiang Iron and Steel Plant has only been leveled, and the rest of the land has been leveled. None.

Second, from the current point of view, steelmaking is indeed not as good as selling pig iron. It is a matter of losing money. It is no wonder that private capital in this period has all kinds of industries, except that no one is involved in steelmaking. .But there is also a relative concept. When World War I breaks out, the price of steel will skyrocket tenfold. Is it still a loss?History textbooks compare this World War I to the spring of national industry and commerce.It is likely that the steel industry is not just spring, but summer. . .

There is nothing to hesitate, what to fight for the world depends on gambling, if you don't gamble this time, you will be a small local warlord at best, and you will do it.

Just as he wanted to understand this joint, Wang Zhenyu saw a cute little head sticking out timidly from the small door of the balcony, looking at him secretly. . .
