Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"I am." While speaking, Scarface slowly came out of the cabin, and strode up to the Japanese officer, with his chest raised high, and his eyes fixed on him.

The Japanese officer walked around the scarred face twice with a cold face, and finally said, "You guys, what are you doing here?"

"This is Lao Tzu's fishing ground. Of course I am here to fish. I would like to ask, what are you doing here?" Scarface didn't show any weakness, and instead overwhelmed the other party in terms of momentum.

The sailors kneeling on the ground all had bitter faces, sweating for their boss.

"This is your fishing ground? Who stipulated it?"

"Of course it's the Chinese government."

"But you have not obtained the permission of the Empire of Japan, and you have no right to fish here."

The scarred face seemed to have heard the funniest words in the world, and he laughed out of anger. The Japanese sailors next to him were so angry that their faces turned red, and they couldn't stop shouting: "Don't laugh! Bastard, don't laugh!" gone."

"What are you laughing at?" The Japanese officer asked sullenly.

"Of course I'm laughing at you. This is China's waters. Of course, I'm here to apply for the approval of the Chinese government to open a fishing ground. I have a shitty relationship with you."

The face of the Japanese officer changed first, and then he sneered twice: "This was originally the territorial waters of the Great Japanese Empire in history. It was just a few years of Sino-Japanese War, and you forcibly divided it from Japan. Now the Japanese government believes that It is necessary to take back here. This time, our fleet of ships was sent here for survey, and it is also responsible for preventing Chinese fishing boats from fishing here. In a short time, the Japanese Navy will conduct a military exercise here. I solemnly ask you A warning, this place will no longer be your fishing ground, and you should stop fishing."

Resurgence: World War II Chapter 386 Bird Harbor Incident

"Bah!" Scarface spat fiercely, and said, "Although I am not a scholar, I was born and raised in Keelung for decades, and I have never heard that the Bird Harbor area was once your Japanese territorial waters. If it is If you want to, tell me, which history book has it recorded? You can take it out now, as long as you can prove your words, I will leave immediately without saying a word!"

The Japanese officer was at a loss for words, hesitated for a long time but couldn't answer, and finally became angry from embarrassment: "Baga! You are nothing more than some tricky Chinese fishermen. I don't need to explain to you. In short, go back now!"

Scar took two steps forward on his face, staring at his eyes and said: "This is my place, I can do whatever I want, I advise you, if you are sensible, leave here immediately, otherwise, turn around and find out about the Taiwan government. When the warship comes, you can’t leave even if you want to.”

The Japanese officer swished out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Scarface's forehead, shouting, "Damn, hate! Now, immediately, kneel down!"

Scarface used to be the master of dawdling on the tip of a knife. He has never seen such a scene. Although he is not usually a patriot, but now facing the vicious Japanese, he suddenly feels a sense of pride. On the contrary, he became more calm, stretched out his arm to block the opponent's muzzle, and lightly pinched the opponent's wrist. The Japanese officer couldn't handle it, let go of his hand, and the pistol fell on the deck.At the same time, at the fastest speed, he pulled out his iron cock from his waist and pointed it at the back of the opponent's head.The iron rooster is a very primitive gunpowder gun, which shoots iron egg pellets, but this kind of gun is very powerful at close range. One shot will surely knock off half of the officer's head.

Seeing this, the other Japanese pointed their guns at the scarred face, shouting in panic.The sailors kneeling on the deck were stunned. For a while, no one knew what to do?

Scarface has been a water thief for many years, and he is very familiar with taking hostages. While coercing the officer, he warned him in a low voice: "Tell your people to retreat to the warship, or I will kill you right now!" It ended up your little life!"

The officer knew that he was not joking, and hurriedly ordered the sailors to retreat in Japanese.Hearing the commander's order, these sailors retreated one after another, but their guns were always pointed at Scarface and the Chinese sailors on the deck.At this moment, I suddenly saw a middle-aged officer striding forward from the Japanese warship. He seemed to be of a higher rank than the hijacked officer. He stopped the sailors aggressively, and said to Scarface in fluent Chinese: " Let him go, and I'll let you go."

Scarface sneered, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged officer said: "I am Lieutenant Commander Sato Shinichi of the Japanese Navy. This incident is purely a misunderstanding. If you let him go, I guarantee your personal safety, and the Japanese warship will leave Bird Harbor immediately."

"Why should I trust you?" Scarface is not a person who trusts others easily.

The middle-aged officer walked twice on the deck with his hands behind his back, and his heavy riding boots made a "kicking" sound. He suddenly turned around and pointed to the Chinese sailors kneeling on the deck: "It's up to them! You killed the hands The Imperial Japanese Empire only lost a lieutenant, but you, you, you, you, and you, all of you Chinese will be buried with him. And the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Empire are not afraid to make Anyone who sacrificed, Matsudaira-kun, let me ask you, are you willing to make sacrifices for the empire?"

The Japanese officer held hostage by Scarface nodded and said, "Hi. I am willing."

This situation made Scar look as if he was riding a tiger. If he let the Japanese officer go, maybe his fleet would still have a chance, but if he was killed, he would be nothing, but the accompanying sailors would He died in vain at the hands of the Japanese.Thinking of this, his hands began to tremble...

"Okay. You must keep your word, kid." Scarface pushed Songping to the other side of the deck.

Sato Shinichi patted Matsudaira's shoulder and nodded, showing an appreciative expression, then waved his hand, and the Japanese gun was raised again, aiming at Scarface and the others again.

Seeing this, Scarface immediately realized that he had been duped, and immediately scolded: "You son of a bitch, your words don't count, even if I die, I can't spare you!"

"Really?" Sato Shinichi said with a gloomy face, "It can only be blamed on your stupidity in China."

Matsudaira asked his chief in a low voice: "Sato-kun, what do you plan to do with these Chinese people, kill them or let them go?"

Sato Shinichi frowned for a moment and said: "Killing it will cause a huge diplomatic dispute. It will be cheaper for these Chinese people to let go. They will definitely report what happened today to the Chinese government when they return to Taiwan. I think... first Take them all into custody and let the Admiralty decide."

As soon as the sailors rushed forward, they wanted to capture Scarface, but Scarface didn't know where the courage came from. Although he was not a loyal and patriotic man, he only had one thought in his mind at this moment, that is, he would not be Japanese at all. captive.Seeing the Japanese rushing towards him, he raised his gun and shot at the sailor in front, only to hear a loud bang, and the iron egg ball made a bloody hole the size of a fist in the sailor's chest, and he didn't even groan , turned over and fell.But the iron cock in Scarface's hand is a primitive gunpowder gun, but after a bullet is fired, it needs to be reloaded with gunpowder and bullets. With a dagger, he leaned over and came to a sailor. The dagger swiped upwards, and it was wiped on the sailor's throat impartially, and blood burst out all at once.Before the sailor fell down, he jumped up and down, the dagger flew up and down, and pierced five or six transparent holes in the two sailors.

"Bang! Bang!" Two gunshots sounded, and Scarface felt his back go cold. When he looked down, he saw that he had been shot in the chest and abdomen.From his blurred vision, he saw that the two middle-aged officers were pointing pistols at him, with white smoke still coming out of the muzzles.At this moment, the guns of the other sailors rang out, and dozens of bullets pierced Scarface's body at the same time.His whole body trembled, and he slowly slumped to the ground. The moment he closed his eyes, he uttered three words: Damn it!

Beijing, three years has not brought much change to this ancient imperial capital. If there is any change, it is that all the roads here have been replaced with cement roads, the streets are wider, and the buildings in the city are getting more and more beautiful. As it gets higher and higher, styles become more and more diverse. More and more foreigners come here for business and tourism. Nancheng basically retains the unique street market style of old Beijing. Noisy and lively seems destined to become the eternal theme here.But in the west city, you can see all kinds of western-style buildings everywhere, and there is a sense of tranquility amidst the prosperity.Horse-drawn carts and donkey dung are rarely seen on the road, replaced by trams and cars.

In the Qianqing Palace, Guan Xuqing was listening to the state of the union speeches of the ministers.This year passed relatively smoothly. Although the world war has passed, the empire's arms sales during the war showed a blowout growth trend, which continued to stimulate the development of private industries in the post-war years, so that China's emerging national industries did not It has shrunk due to the war, but has expanded in scale. There are more than 5000 new factories and mines across the country.

In fact, developing China's industry and commerce is not easy, but it is not difficult. China now has a population of more than 4 million, accounting for more than one-third of the world's total population. Such a vast market can support a large number of factories even if it does not export. All that needs to be done is to create a loose and fair environment, and market rules will naturally eliminate those enterprises with redundant construction, poor management, and backward technology.Anyway, now Guan Xuqing holds only a dozen "state-owned enterprises" such as the Nine Major Arsenals, the Kaiping Mining Bureau, the Fengtian Railway Bureau, the Shanghai Railway Bureau, the Shipping Merchants Bureau, the Ma'anshan Iron Works, and the Liaoyang Iron Works, and most of them are In terms of military industry, the interference to the market can be said to be minimal. Unlike later generations, state-owned enterprises are all over the world. They need to be taken care of here and find ways to find ways there. Economic rules are completely replaced by human intervention. Withdrawing the share of state-owned enterprises in some industries, I really don't know how rigid the economic system will become.

Although the industrial development is very good, Guan Xuqing knows that this is not driven by the rules of the market economy. It is mostly stimulated by the purchase of military supplies. When the total amount of industry is not large, such macro measures can indeed play a role in promoting , but such means cannot be sustained, otherwise it will be counterproductive, and China's national industry will eventually have to face world competition.

These days, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has imported a large amount of equipment from the United States, most of which are high-precision machine tools, and as a technical exchange, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has also hired a group of foreign technicians to guide production. A group of Chinese experts in the shipbuilding industry were recruited.I have few factories in my hands, so I can concentrate limited funds to do big things, make a factory fine, big, and run well, without having to spread out a big stall, and everyone has a bun, and no one can eat enough in the end. Now Jiangnan The Manufacturing Bureau has been able to produce some simple lathes, grinders, milling machines and other machine tools, and has finally begun to move towards its goal of "a tool for making tools".

The country’s industry is in the ascendant, but due to the relatively weak industrial foundation, many things still need to be explored. Scientific research and technical processes all have their own styles. For example, Britain emphasizes simplicity, Germany emphasizes exquisiteness, and the United States emphasizes versatility. And tolerate its style, choose the best one to learn from it, and in the future can develop China's own industrial technology style.

However, when everyone was immersed in the new atmosphere of the prosperous development of the empire, an unexpected news came in suddenly!

PS: Although I can’t charge 15 flowers this time, I’m really grateful to see everyone’s love for me.Say nothing, a small explosion tomorrow.thank you all

Resurgence: The Second World War Chapter 387 The Imperial Conference

Guan Xuqing patted the armrest of the throne, stood up suddenly, his face was pale, and he said angrily, "How unreasonable!"

In recent years, the world has been peaceful and the people are happy. It is rare for the officials to see the emperor get so angry. Liu Buchan stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, after the incident happened, I sent you to the Ryukyu Islands to garrison A patrol boat went to find out what happened, but up to now, the patrol boat has disappeared like a stone, and there has been no news. I am afraid it is a bad luck. In my opinion, should I send warships to block off the waters of Taiwan... ..."

Lin Jianzhang, chief of staff of the Navy Department, said: "In my opinion, this is by no means an accidental incident. This incident is very likely to be related to the Japanese Navy Department, or even the Japanese government."

Guan Xuqing asked Feng Xianghua what he thought of this matter.

Feng Xianghua has been in charge of the imperial military for many years, he has already been refined into steel, and his experience is extremely deep, and his thinking on things has become more and more comprehensive. Seeing the emperor asking himself, he mused: "This matter is indeed not that simple. In recent years, Japan has developed rapidly. , has a tendency to rise again. A while ago, I went all over the world to visit and study, and had frequent contacts with Western powers. In addition, in recent years, the Japanese have been active in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. There are often some fishing boat fights, but these Most of the incidents are private actions, and it is inconvenient for the government to intervene. I did not expect that this time the Japanese would dare to send warships to openly violate our territorial waters. It seems that this was premeditated. But in general, international disputes should be stable rather than rash. We had better We can find out what the Japanese are trying to do through diplomatic channels first, if we rashly send warships to encircle and suppress those Japanese ships now, once things get serious, I am afraid it will not end well."

Guan Xuqing nodded: "It makes sense, a big country should have the demeanor of a big country, and you can't be like a shrew on the side of the road, fighting big because of a little thing. How about it, Wu Tingfang..."

"The minister is here!" Wu Tingfang stepped out of the class and cupped his hands.

"In the name of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I have raised a question with the Japanese government and asked them to respond to this matter within 48 hours."

"twitter."

Guan Xuqing rubbed a copy in his hand, and said: "This is a copy from Sichuan and Shaanxi. Now the development of all parts of the empire is very good, only Sichuan and Shaanxi are relatively lagging behind. Since last year, I have ordered to speed up the development of Sichuan and Shaanxi. The infrastructure construction in Shaanxi, Tibet and other places, but after a year, the effect is not very good, do you have any good strategies for this, I would like to hear."

Feng Xianghua said: "I used to only know the importance of military affairs. Now that I have followed the emperor's construction, I know the importance of industry and infrastructure. Even if we win a city and a place, it will not benefit the overall situation. We should focus on the Southwest strategy."

Liang Qichao, who was elected Prime Minister of the Cabinet last year, said: "I thought that more mine protection teams should be sent to Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. The mines in several provinces are not peaceful because of the large number of bandits, so it is justifiable for the Mining Bureau to have more armed forces."

"Hmph, since Xiliang became the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, the bureaucrats there have become more and more outrageous, but a few days ago, Xiliang was awarded the title of imperial envoy, after the governor of Fengtian, Jilin, and Heilongjiang, Li Jingxi will take over , this person can also be called an astonishing talent, but he is good at learning, but he always lacks a bit of majesty when he is an official. I think we need to strengthen our defenses in Yunnan and Guizhou, and we should not take it lightly." Lin Xu, Minister of Personnel, said .

Liang Qichao sighed: "Xiliang is upright, honest, diligent and pragmatic. He is a rare Manchu official with good political achievements, kindness, friendliness, and simple style. After Xiliang arrived in Yunnan, according to his backward education, financial constraints, and diplomatic We have vigorously rectified the difficult situation, focusing on the rectification of officials, the establishment of schools, the rectification of armaments, and the construction of railways, etc., and have achieved remarkable results. It seems that this National People’s Congress is available.”

Guan Xuqing nodded, and then said slowly: "Recently, Xiliang gave me a report, saying that Britain is eyeing Tibet, trying to enter the mainland of China through Tibet, open up a channel from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the lower reaches, and then control the entire China. The importance of Tibet's strategic position in China, the natural and man-made obstacles of the Sichuan-Tibet border directly led to the poor political, economic, and cultural exchanges between the central government and Tibet, as well as the ineffective communication of information, and it directly became the empire's influence on Tibet. Obstacles to implement effective control. In the past few years, the British made trouble behind the scenes, and Tibetan chieftains and other aristocrats frequently made trouble.

Everyone nodded together and said yes, they knew that the emperor was concerned about the economic construction of the southwest region, but the more important reason was that the southwest region was far away from Beijing, and the information was not smooth, which caused great obstacles to the management of the empire. This was a very difficult task. Due to the weak management of political issues, it is possible for foreign forces to collude with local forces.

Guan Xuqing also said: "Tibet is the hair of Sichuan and Yunnan, Kang is the skin of Sichuan and Yunnan. Tibet is the lips of Sichuan and Yunnan, Kang is the teeth of Sichuan and Yunnan, and the throat of Sichuan and Yunnan. In recent years, the empire has invested heavily in the Southwest. In fact, the British and border affairs It is the key, and local forces are not enough to cause trouble. You have to remember that preservation means protecting the two Sichuans, and protecting the two Sichuans means protecting the hinterland of the six provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Henan, Ningxia, and Jiangsu. It is not insignificant. In addition to building roads and building bridges, Zhao Erfeng changed the land to the local people, abolished the heavy serf labor, laid the Sichuan-Tibet postal line, and set up ponds and stations in various important places to garrison troops, and trained troops, established schools, mining, and land reclamation in the border areas. It can be done, and the future rule of Tibet will be a key foundation. I have ordered Zhao Erfeng to gradually take the local mining rights back to the government, and help to develop and establish schools. Both the mine protection team and the reclamation protection team must be trained by the government itself The armed forces. Dredging Sichuan-Tibet roads and postal services is the top priority. Cement plants, steel plants, steel rolling plants, and steel wire plants will also be set up there. It is to facilitate Sichuan-Tibet exchanges as soon as possible. If there are achievements in a few years and the funds are sufficient, I still want to build the Sichuan-Tibet Railway from Chengdu to Lhasa, and firmly control Tibet in my Chinese hands. Not only Tibet, Mongolia Xinjiang and the Northwest Frontier will be big troubles in the future, so we should plan ahead."
