Chapter 268: Sino-Japanese friendship?

Nanjing, Shimonoseki Pier. Japanese Minister Ijuin got off the ferry, and following him was Shi Zhongfufen, who was dressed in casual clothes. Once he set foot on Chinese territory again, Ishi Naka Futsu's identity changed and he was no longer a Japanese minister.

The attaché of the embassy is the special commissioner of the Cooperation Affairs Section with China recently established by the Japanese cabinet.

The most obvious economic losses brought to Japan by the Sino-Japanese War of Qingdao are astronomical figures for Japan. Thanks to the mediation of Britain, France and Russia, Japanese businessmen in China can at least have some capital left. But after many years of hard work,

The Chinese market seemed to be swept away overnight. China closed all economic and trade exchanges with Japan, which was a more serious crisis for Japan.

A heavy blow. The European War is still supporting the market, but what about the future? Once the European War is over, what will be the future of Japan? Japan, which does not have much industrial strength in the first place, relies entirely on the diligence and hard work of businessmen in the Chinese market.

Various means are used to slowly expand the share. Now that all of this has been uprooted, the Japanese government must do something. Otherwise, the Okuma cabinet will have to step down.

The task of how to get the Chinese government to open the door to economic and trade fell on Shi Zhongfufen. As for Ijuin, this time he played a supporting role. As a China expert, Shi Zhongfufen had a very deep understanding of China over the years. Before coming to China.

, he met his friend Kawashima Naniwa, a Japanese ronin, in Lushun. Kawashima Naniwa, who twice encouraged the Mongols to rebel, because of a Sino-Japanese war,

During the war between Japan and Japan, all his efforts were in vain. The Japanese army lost the war, and the Mongolian Manchu government in Kawashima Naniwa became a joke. The clan established by the benevolent elders who worked hard from Beijing

The Party has lost its voice in the past two years. A group of Manchu survivors, old and young, were trembling in the Japanese concession in Lushun, and the Manchu special forces also dispersed.

The two defeats of the Manchurian Army were a big blow to Kawashima Naniwa. But this Japanese Ronin can be said to be firm-willed and never forget Japan's mainland dream. So this time after encountering the stone in the stone in Lushun, he immediately gave up his hand.

The voice in the book followed him to Nanjing. On the way to Nanjing, Kawashima Naniwa and Ishizaka talked for two days and two nights. Both sides were deeply worried about the current rapid development of China. The more they understood the actual situation in China, the more they understood the actual situation in China.

This concern is getting worse.

But just worrying is not enough, something must be done. So Naniwa Kawashima proposed an idea, and Ishizaka Fufu was very interested in this idea. Let’s not talk about the specific implementation of this idea. At the moment, Ishizaka Fufu

For us, there are more important things to do. That is to persuade the Chinese government to fight against

Open the door to the market. How to do this? Just look at Ishizaka's position. He is the director of the China-Friendly Cooperation Section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Japan. The current Okuma cabinet is actually singing a high note of Sino-Japanese friendship. This

What an irony. Of course, the Japanese government has been singing the tune of Sino-Japanese friendship.

……………………

Nanjing became the capital of Jiangsu Province after the Republic of China. Without the two living ancestors, the Governor of Liangjiang and the Nanjing Provisional Government, the current Governor of Jiangsu is worthy of his name. So who is this lucky guy? The answer is Yu Yunkuan!

A former upright official of the Zhuang clan, he served as the prefect of Guangxi and the supervisor of the army cadre school. The original governor of Jiangsu, Cheng Dequan, escaped under the eyes of a pack of wolves. Yu Yunkuan was elected as his successor and served as a very qualified puppet for a period of time.

Yuan Shikai became the president, and Yu Yunkuan was kicked out. When the Second Rebellion broke out and Marshal Fang sent troops, Jiangsu was restored again. When the provincial assembly elected the governor again, there was no suitable candidate. There were originally a few

Individuals who have a good chance, such as Zhang Jian, Cheng Dequan, Zhang Yilu, and Shen Manyun. The problem is that the first two are now cabinet bosses, and Zhang Yilu has a Yuan character on his forehead. In the capital, this is not a problem, but in the capital,

Available locally

Not so reassuring. As for Shen Manyun, not to mention, he has an old relationship with Chen Qimei. He funded the Minli Daily, and Chen Qimei formed a business group to launch an uprising, and he also supported it. In short, it is not reassuring.

.

In fact, Shen Manyun is a very capable person. The problem is that the people in the Jiangsu Provincial Council are mainly constitutionalists. They don't like the Communist Party in the first place. In addition, Marshal Fang also captured Chen Qimei and imprisoned him. Here, the charge is that she embezzled 30,000 yuan to pay for prostitution. To put it bluntly, 30,000 yuan is also called corruption? The problem is that even though Chen Qimei was found guilty of this crime, she was not allowed to be released on bail pending trial.

So Shen Manyun had no chance, and finally selected the former puppet Xi Yunkuan. Xu Yunkuan was a passer-by in history, and was mentioned in the history books.

An old-school official from the former Qing Dynasty had been trembling for a while after becoming a provincial governor, and soon discovered that the Republic of China was different from before. As a provincial governor, he had real power in his hands, and he had no ancestors above his head. This life was nourishing. .

However, Xu Yunkuan is still capable of doing things and can be an official. The provincial government is located in the original Provisional Presidential Palace, and the Nanjing Military Region is located next to it. Therefore, in the position of provincial governor, Xu Yunkuan can still be regarded as an official. Competent and no mess.

When Fang Jianxiong went south, he didn't enter Nanjing at all and took a boat directly back to Wuhu. Yu Yunkuan, who was deliberately trying to curry favor with the commander-in-chief, was blocked by the guards without even seeing the commander-in-chief. Xu Shaoji saw him. After being attracted by Fang Jianxiong, he also went to Wuhu with him. Needless to say, this treatment was a given. Everyone knew that Xu Shaojie left Nanjing and went to Wuhan with a clear-cut flag.

This time Fang Jianxiong went to Shanghai and passed through Nanjing, the meaning was different. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are key areas for national taxation, and there is even more wealth along the Nanjing-Shanghai Road. It is not easy to be the governor of this place. Many people are watching. Here we are. In the past, the governor had no power, and the power was in the hands of the military governor. But now it is different. Soldiers are not allowed to interfere in politics. Xu Shaojie is in charge of Nanjing and does not care about local affairs. Except for the formation of security corps in various places, he will ask about it.

At this stage, the governors of each province are elected by the parliament, but starting from the next term, candidates, two or three, will be elected by the parliament, and submitted to the parliament for review and decision. This policy was only introduced recently, and to be honest, it still needs to be strengthened. If the central government were to centralize power in a Western country, someone would definitely make a big fuss, but in China there is not much resistance. If someone occasionally makes a fuss, it won't cause much trouble.

The introduction of this new policy is tantamount to putting a tight spell on all provinces. The cabinet continues to introduce new policies to stimulate industry and commerce. Recently, the Ministry of Transport has issued a new policy to encourage local businessmen in various provinces to raise funds to build roads. The Bank of China can tilt the loan policy , the local government can repay the loan for a fee.

All in all, the cabinet headed by Tang Hualong has adopted a series of policies on people's livelihood policies, all of which are aimed at stimulating private capital to enter the circulation market. The policies issued by the Ministry of Transport are only an outline. In the hands of provincial governors, these rules can be refined. . To put it bluntly, there is a saying here, and huge benefits are hidden. From a certain perspective, this is not a kind of compensation for the local government.

Recently, Xiu Yunkuan has been very angry about this matter. After the Ministry of Transport issued this policy, the entire southern Jiangsu business community was in a collective commotion. This was something that was unthinkable in the past. Tolls for road construction were so novel. .

Elderly people in some places have come out to speak out, saying that building bridges and paving roads is a meritorious deed, so why should they use blocks to pollute them? On the contrary, governments at all levels agree with this idea. Why? The answer is very simple. In the policy issued by the Ministry of Transport, Governments at all levels can use government credibility as a guarantee to raise private funds and bank loans to build roads and then pay back the tolls. The final approval authority for this toll road lies with the Ministry of Transportation. Before that, you must first go through the Provincial Transportation Bureau.

Because of this matter, the local governments have been thinking wrongly. Xu Yunkuan has a headache, but he does not dare to go against the central government, nor does he dare to suppress the "enthusiasm" of local road construction too much. Since the Republic of China, Lijin has been removed, and local governments have

Fiscal revenue is really at a huge discount. Otherwise, after the introduction of this policy, governments at all levels have paid attention to it.

After the policy was promulgated, all provincial governors saw the benefits, and naturally seized the power of deliberation in the first stage. It was very satisfying when they seized power, but the reports that followed were like the Yellow River overflowing, and Yu Yunkuan began to

Fire. After all, this is an elected government. If you want to seek re-election, you must first go through the provincial assembly. If you offend everyone, it will really be over. The problem is that every year, the Ministry of Transportation requires that this loan and private fund-raising have

It is a rigid ratio. If the loan is one million, the private financing must be two million. Once the transportation department messes up with this matter during the qualification inspection process, it will be a disaster if the Independent Commission Against Corruption finds out.

When the messy things in his mind lingered, Xi Yunkuan, who was standing on the dock, saw a gunboat appearing on the river. The domestic Jiangnan-class inland river gunboat was manufactured by the original Jiangnan Shipyard, which is now Jiangnan.

Shipbuilding Group.

There has always been a saying from the outside world that the Eurasian Group is particularly fond of doing this thing, and it often refers to a certain group. Jiangnan Shipyard calls it a group, which is really an exaggeration. So what is the actual situation?

In fact, the name of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group is quite objective. Because the group owns not only the original Jiangnan Shipyard, but also a Sino-German cooperation submarine production base. The original Jiangnan Shipyard can now build 5,000 tons of civilian submarines.

Ships can also be built as so-called Jiangnan class inland river gunboats.

It has a displacement of 1,000 tons, a steel-wood structure, a length of 72 meters, a main gun caliber of 105, and a maximum speed of 25 knots. This is the main data of the Jiangnan class. In fact, this is a very ordinary gunboat. If you want to talk about its meaning, it is completely different.

Except for the power equipment, which was imported from Germany, all other major components are made in China. This is a truly domestically produced gunboat. It is a product of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group that was specially rushed to meet Marshal Fang’s southern tour and delivered in advance.

There are two ships in the first batch. They have not yet been officially named, and there is not even a handover ceremony. They have been hurriedly taken over by the Second Fleet and sailed to Wuhan to welcome Marshal Fang to Shanghai to preside over the ceremony for this type of gunboat to officially enter the Navy of the Republic of China.

.

Officially because it was still in the trial stage, Fang Jianxiong regretted that he could not personally take a long-distance voyage on a gunboat produced by China. In fact, it is not impossible to do it, the fleet will just stop it. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature,
