"As our army goes north, the supply of military supplies to the Manufacturing Bureau cannot be cut off, so brothers left a regiment behind to supervise production." After Fang Jianxiong finished speaking, Chen Qimei, although still very angry, could only accept it calmly.

Departing the army was no small matter, and Chen Qimei had to continue to contribute. Chen Qimei sent troops to requisition all the trains that could be found on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway. The equipment and personnel of the Anhui Army were put on the trains in an orderly manner according to the plan, and they were driven to Nanjing one by one.

When the first train pulled out of the station, Chen Qimei finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Anhui army had finally left. Shanghai finally had the final say. The only regret was that Fang Jianxiong refused to occupy the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

, Chen Qimei was helpless.

Although Fang Jianxiong was desperate for money, he had a good reputation and kept his word. Chen Qimei felt that as a person who wanted to do big things, he could still tolerate this.

When the Anhui army was powerful in the southeast, Hubei was facing a great dilemma. After Yuan Shikai personally went to Xiaogan, Hubei to supervise the battle, Feng Guozhang led his army to storm Hankou. The civilian army retreated into the city to fight in the streets. Seeing the heavy casualties, Feng Guozhang ordered a fire. The fire

After burning for three days and three nights, Hankou fell.

The Hankou military branch government retreated. Leaders Zhan Dabei, He Haiming and others had been at odds with Sun Wu for a long time. Fearing that they would be killed by Sun Wu when they returned to Wuchang, they moved to Anqing in an attempt to seek support from Wu Yanggu.

Hu Ying also held a secret meeting during the fierce battle at Hankou, saying that if Hankou was not defended, other routes should be sought. On the night of October 30, Hubei's first associate commander Song Xiquan, who was guarding Hanyang, together with Wang Xianzhang, led his troops to evacuate Hanyang towards Hunan.

Then he left. Li Yuanhong called Hunan and killed Song Xiquan. His head was sent to Wuchang for public display. Wang Xianzhang was imprisoned, and was later released by Jiang Yiwu and others.

These two incidents, at the most superficial level, are a manifestation of the contradiction between the Literary Society and the Joint Advancement Association. At the most profound level, they reflect that on the battlefield of Wuchang, the first revolutionary movement, under the current situation of the formidable enemy, it is impossible to

The top and bottom are unanimous, but they are still fighting among themselves.

After these two events, Li Yuanhong further took control of Hubei's military and political power through Sun Wu.

The fire in Hankou aroused indignation across the country. Li Jiaju, president of the Qing Zizhengyuan, said in the memorial: "On the 13th (November 3), I received a telegram from a group in the southern province. In Hankou and nearby areas, the officers and soldiers killed them indiscriminately, and the

Women and children were burned down in the streets. For more than ten miles, there were rapes, plunders, and plunders everywhere. People's anger reached its extreme."

On the one hand, the Qing government stated that it would compensate the people for their losses, and on the other hand, it would reward those who had made meritorious service in the war. After the Battle of Hankou, the war in Wuhan was suspended.

There was another dispute within the Hubei military government. The Tongchenghui and the Literary Society advocated for Huang Xing to be the governor of Hubei and Hunan or the commander-in-chief of the southern civilian army in order to unify military power. The Tongjinhui, the constitutionalists and the old military officers firmly opposed it, believing that there was a wartime

Commander-in-Chief is enough. After the war, you will automatically be dismissed as Commander-in-Chief. Don’t take yourself too seriously.

The dispute was fierce. Later, Song Jiaoren mediated and adopted the latter opinion. This should be regarded as a victory for Li Yuanhong. On November 3, Li Yuanhong set up a platform to pay homage to the generals, giving Huang Xing the face of "Commander-in-Chief Huang"

Taking the stage. I really don’t know where Commander-in-Chief Huang got the confidence to command thousands of troops to fight. He probably thinks he can do anything.

The Qing government was certainly happy about the victory in Hubei, but unexpectedly, Fang Jianxiong came out from the southeast, took Anqing, went to Jiangning, and then swept across the Shanghai-Nanjing line. The most prosperous area ruled by the Qing government was reduced to nothing in a few days.

The Qing government ordered Ni Sichong, the admiral of Henan Province, to go south quickly. Ni Sichong telegraphed that he was short of weapons and wages, and he would not move away if he wanted this or that. In the end, Yuan Shikai spoke up, and Ni Sichong was awarded the title of Chief Secretary of Anhui. Then he led his troops to set off.

Ni Sichong led 5,000 people out of Zhoukou, Henan, and first occupied Taihe County. Then he stormed Yingshang, killing more than 1,000 Huaishang officers and soldiers. Then he occupied Fuyang and massacred more than 5,000 people. He was extremely arrogant.

The process of restoring production in the manufacturing bureau is not that simple. The workers in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau have good skills, but their work methods are more traditional and the production efficiency is low. Fang Jianxiong’s focus in Shanghai is to reorganize the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. Wuhu officials

The incoming manpower was stationed in the manufacturing bureau, and the technical leader of the Chinese staff was Tian Sanjin.

This simple man, who had been kicked out by the manufacturing bureau, took the initiative to sign up and ask to come back when he learned that important people from Shanghai were coming to rectify the situation.

Fang Jianxiong left other matters to Zheng Quan and others, and personally accompanied the people from Wuhu to have a meal. In the past two years in Wuhu, Tian Sanjin has made further progress in technology and improved in management. Wuhu is the same.

Tian Sanjin has basically mastered relatively modern production management methods.

Fang Jianxiong was impressed by him, so he shook hands with everyone and said, "This is Master Tian Sanjin, right? I remember that you went to Wuhu from Shanghai, and you also asked to come back this time?" Fang Jianxiong did a good job in his homework.

Yes, these technical seedlings cannot be exchanged for gold. In front of them, Fang Jianxiong must be as hypocritical as he is friendly, but these people must be completely committed.

This was the first time that Tian Sanjin had such a close encounter with the big boss Fang Jianxiong. He was very excited and very uneasy and said: "I did come from Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau back then. It's a little selfish for me to take the initiative to come back this time."

"Oh, what are you selfish about?" Fang Jianxiong asked with a smile. Tian Sanjin looked at his right hand uneasily. He just shook hands with Commander Fang, and his palm was all sweaty.

"One is thinking about my old brother from the past. Thanks to the commander, life is better now, and I want everyone to understand that if you follow the commander, you can live a good life. The other is to let everyone see what I am doing.

How about it." What Tian Sanjin said is the truth. The saying that wealth and honor do not return to one's hometown is like walking at night in brocade clothes. This is the most simple human reaction.

Fang Jianxiong burst out laughing, patted Tian Sanjin on the shoulder and said, "If I let you go, how long will it take to complete the rectification and resume production?"

Tian Sanjin was really good, and he soon stopped being nervous. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "It's enough to have a ten-day or eight-day worker. The machinery and equipment are all ready-made. The key is to tell everyone the roads in Wuhu."

It’s clear. It’s not difficult at all. I’ll go from house to house and explain things clearly one by one. Then I’ll just call everyone together and discuss it.”

Fang Jianxiong was keenly aware that although Tian Sanjin's method was a bit stupid, the effect must be the best. People in this era still do this. So he immediately said to the chief engineer Gio Sting: "Jiangnan

Tian Sanjin will be responsible for the technical transformation and production recovery of the manufacturing bureau, and your task is to formulate management methods. Tian Sanjin will serve as the newly established production director, and he will be fully responsible for future production matters."

Georgin said he had no objection, but raised an opinion: "What should be done with the original technical staff?"

Fang Jianxiong smiled and said: "Don't change the basic framework. Just change it according to the position in Wuhu. The original technical staff must be given adequate treatment and low status. If a technical staff leaves, I will deduct your year-end dividends."

."

"Oh, no, no, no!" Georgin shouted. He had a 1% share dividend in the arsenal.

After dinner, Fang Jianxiong called Geos and Tian Sanjin to the office to drink tea and talk. His main concern was how much production capacity could be achieved after introducing a batch of new equipment with the equipment, scale and personnel of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau?

Georgin didn't have the habit of firing cannons, so he said he didn't understand the situation when he arrived and needed to do some research. At this time, Tian Sanjin's role came into play, and he answered without thinking: "What the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau lacks is a reasonable

As long as the system is straightened out and the relationship is straightened out, the production capacity will not be lower than that of the Wuhu Manufacturing Bureau."

These words shocked Fang Jianxiong. This ordinary-looking man could actually say such a truth. It seems that the previous judgment was correct. This Tian Sanjin is not simple.

"What level has the current production capacity of Wuhu Manufacturing Bureau reached?" Fang Jianxiong asked Georgin this time. Comrade Chief Engineer immediately said: "The 7mm caliber modified K98 rifle is the focus of production. After adopting the method of outsourcing minor components, currently

It has reached a monthly production level of 6,000 pieces. 82 and 60 caliber presses.

The monthly production of cannons has reached 100 guns. The monthly production of Bren machine guns is 100, and the monthly production of Maxim machine guns is 50. The monthly production of pointed bullets is 10 million. The current raw materials are completely imported, which is not a long-term solution.

The key is when Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Plant can produce qualified steel. Only with sufficient raw materials can we consider imitation of 75 gun and other equipment."

When it comes to the steel plant in Ma'anshan, Fang Jianxiong is eager to return home. The preliminary project in Ma'anshan is basically ready, and the steelmaking equipment imported from the United States should be installed in the near future. This matter is being handled by American George, who doesn't know

There has been no clear report on how the work went. It is estimated that the war also had an impact. Although sufficient preparations were made in advance, the equipment and other equipment were shipped to Wuhu a few days in advance.

When Fang Jianxiong was somewhat distracted, Duan Feng came in to deliver three urgent telegrams.

The first one was a telegram from Li Yuanhong, saying: Brother, tens of thousands of troops swept across the southeast and shocked the Qing court. Yuanhong sent this telegram to congratulate him. Hankou has fallen and Wuchang is in difficulty. He hopes that brother will send reinforcements like a long drought. Brother.

If you come to Wuchang, you should be treated as a marshal of the revolutionary army!

The second telegram was from Dou Yijue. It said: The Hubei military government initiated a congress of representatives of the southern provinces and asked the commander to determine the appropriate representatives. In addition, Ni Sichong killed more than 5,000 innocent people in Fuyang, and the Northern Expeditionary Army stalled in He

The people of Fuyang cried blood and prayed to the commander to punish the people and expel Ni Sichong. Perhaps history was distorted and the event was brought forward. (The author, Ni Sichong went to Taihe on December 10 and fell into Yingzhou on the 15th.)

The third telegram was actually from Sun Dapao, saying: Brother Fuguo will cleanse the southeast and boost the national aspirations of the Han Dynasty. He also said sincerely: When the Republic of China is established, brother will be the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army.

The two telegrams from Li and Sun are quite painful, and they are essentially deceptions. The former is already burning his buttocks, and he refuses to shed any blood. He wants to rely on national justice to deceive people into risking their lives. It is a waste of time. Fang Heizhai is here.

Not to mention doors, there are no windows. The latter is even more painful. I just want to go to Europe for a loan.

You rely on your sharp tongue to persuade the European powers to recognize you. As everyone knows, foreigners are the worst bastards and the most practical. How can they buy your account? You have hit a wall with foreigners, and it is even more impossible to fool Fang Jianxiong. Wuhan is going to

I’m going, but not now. Once I get to Wuhan, I won’t be ready to leave. (To be continued.
