Zhu Kaishan, the master of Xiangtang, does have some connections.
After it was really launched, Zhu Chuanwen not only went a lot smoother in suppressing bandits in his own territory.
Taking advantage of Zhu Chuanshan's good popularity, Zhu Chuanwen had a good intelligence network throughout the country.
At least it can be guaranteed that in this era of limited information, Zhu Chuanwen will not react so slowly to outside information.
Before he trained his own professional intelligence personnel, Zhu Chuanwen's sources of information were mainly these business houses under the influence.
After combining these underworld information, it is much more comprehensive and profound than simply relying on superficial information collected by businessmen.
Having local connections also made it easier for Zhu Chuanwen to recruit refugees from within the pass to reclaim wasteland.
Although the land outside the customs will be a land of right and wrong for the next twenty years.
It seems that Zhu Chuanwen recruited people to migrate and put these people in a dangerous place.
But in fact, these people may not have a chance of survival if they stay in the pass.
The wars in Shandong are no less than what happened outside the customs.
And there will be a war right around the corner.
I have been jealous of Germany's interests in Shandong for a long time.
It is because of Germany's strength that it has never dared to explode.
Waiting for the war in Europe to start, they will be unable to help but attack Shandong.
Zhu Chuanwen did not feel any burden for the people inside the pass, most of whom were from Shandong, to move to live outside the pass.
These refugees who could not survive within the customs migrated outside the customs.
Zhu Chuanwen gave some grain and policy support, so whether these people were opening up wasteland for farming or working as workers in factories, at least food and clothing would no longer be a problem.
In addition, what Zhu Chuanwen needs to do is to recruit more talents.
Basic population needs, high-quality talents are even more needed.
Traditional scholars in the past could be regarded as literate and hyphenated, so they were certainly considered talents.
A force that has countless paperwork to do must be inseparable from these people.
But the most important thing is modern talents who have received modern scientific education.
Zhu Chuanwen was extremely lacking in talents in machinery, smelting, chemical industry, post and telecommunications, shipbuilding, education and medical care.
Although Chuanjie had gone to Bingcheng to recruit once before, but with the unlimited demand for talents from one force, the few people Chuanjie recruited were still a drop in the bucket and were far from enough.
"Chuanjie, please leave the factory matters aside for now. Just leave these things to others. You still have to go out."
Zhu Chuanwen still left it to Chuanjie to recruit talents.
If the territory hadn't just been taken over and the situation wasn't so stable, Zhu Chuanwen would have wanted to go out on his own.
Zhu Chuanwen can safely leave other matters to others.
But regarding the fundamental matters of power, Zhu Chuanwen trusted his own family the most.
"Brother, do you still want to go to Ice City?"
Chuanjie now serves as Zhu Chuanwen's commercial director.
But in fact, this is not in line with Zhu Chuanwen's expectations for Chuanjie.
Compared to the Secretary of Commerce, Zhu Chuanwen wanted Chuanjie to be his Finance Minister and Bank President.
It's just that there are no good candidates for the Commerce Secretary right now.
When the finances have not been rectified and the power is unstable, it is difficult to even inventory the acres of land.
The bank was only the prototype of several banks and had not yet issued currency, so Zhu Chuanwen did not pass Chuanjie over.
"I hope you will go to Fengtian. Although Bingcheng is good, it is still far inferior to Fengtian in all aspects."
Although Bingcheng has developed very well, it can only be regarded as the core of a province.
Compared with Fengtian, the core of the whole outside the pass, it is still quite different in many aspects.
So Zhu Chuanwen wanted Chuanjie to go to Fengtian and collect a handful of Zhang family's wool.
With the future "Northeast King" socialite's ability to maneuver between various forces, of course he maintains a superficial "brother" relationship with the newly rising Zhu Chuanwen.
Taking advantage of this period of peace between the two forces, it is the most appropriate period of time to let Chuanjie run away from Fengtian.
After a few years, when there was an obvious conflict of interests between the two parties, Fengtian became a place where Lao Zhu's family could not go.
"It's okay to go to Fengtian. I'd better go by train. It won't take too long." Chuanjie prepared to continue taking the train out.
Of course it is very convenient to have railways, but this railway was built by Mao Zi.
Half of it is in Maozi's hands, and half of it is in the hands of days.
The main function is to deliver benefits to Maozi and the country.
Of course it has certain benefits for the economy outside the customs, but in fact it only plays a small role.
Only by taking control of it can this railway truly contribute to economic development.
"There is a martial arts school in Fengtian. Please pay more attention to it. We need both teachers and students there. These people are more important than ordinary overseas talents."
Zhu Chuanwen never neglected the quality training of soldiers.
Most of the first batch of people who followed Zhu Chuanwen had no problem being junior officers in the platoon at this time.
This is also the guarantee that Zhu Chuanwen can expand his troops tenfold in a short period of time without losing control.
But there are quite a few senior officers on Zhu Chuanwen's side who are not in sufficient numbers.
After time and experience, Zhu Chuanwen's troops will of course be able to train a group of officers.
But since he was about to compete with Mao Zi, Zhu Chuanwen didn't have much time to cultivate slowly.
It is of course necessary to recruit a group of ready-made officers.
Not to mention, there are some top talents here.
Whether you have received systematic education in this area or not, there is indeed a huge difference in your success rate.
"Brother, don't worry. Even if I'm a fool, I'll fool a group of talents to come here for us." Seeing Zhu Chuanwen's solemn words, Chuanjie also assured with a solemn expression.
"Wherever this is needed, we still need like-minded talents to be willing to serve us."
It is definitely not easy to maintain a pure team.
But to have complete control, the team must be pure.
Only with complete control can Zhu Chuanwen be sure that his power will develop in the direction he needs.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, Zhu Chuanwen does not have no talents at all.
As a result of Zhu Chuanwen's initiative to contact progressive people, he came into contact with many members of the Tongmenghui.
This group of people has great merit, both in terms of their thinking and abilities.
But Zhu Chuanwen dared to let these people help him manage his internal affairs and develop his industry.
Zhu Chuanwen dared to deliver these things, but he just didn't dare to let these people infiltrate too many into the army.
Otherwise, as the army develops, Zhu Chuanwen's decision may not necessarily be his.
The time soon came to 1914. As the international situation changed, Mao Zi took action against Germany. He was shot hard by Germany and dragged into the quagmire of the war.
Zhu Chuanwen also started a plan to cannibalize Maozi.
Taking advantage of the concept that bandits and officers and soldiers do not separate from each other in the Northeast.
Troops disguised as bandits began to be sent out to destroy the railway lines.
There were two hundred people in an action team, and Zhu Chuanwen divided into one hundred teams.
On the one hand, it is to reduce the blood transfusion to Maozi outside the customs. On the other hand, it is to consume the Maozi soldiers stationed outside the customs.
Although Maozi's number of four to five million soldiers was considered terrifying in this era.
But those who can be invested outside the customs are actually the 48,000 people stationed along the railway.
and deployed 25,000 border guards on the border between the two countries.
When Zhu Chuanwen had silently raised his troops to 30,000, it was enough to fight against these idiots.
This is the difference between fighting across the border and fighting at home.
If Zhu Chuanwen had been more aggressive, he would have had as many troops as he had guns.
For those outside the customs, it can really be said that every time one of them falls off, there will be one missing.
"Guard, there is a call from Beiyang, asking why the riots in Northeast China are affecting the diplomatic relations and peace between the two countries."
After Zhu Chuanwen confronted Mao Zi's opponents, the first person to denounce him was Yuan Datou's Beiyang government.
The main reason why Zhu Chuanwen was able to dominate the Heilongjiang Province was that Beiyang simply did not dare to station troops in the Heilongjiang Province.
The governor of the Black Province actually has only more than 10,000 men at his disposal.
More than 10,000 soldiers control the huge Black Province. It can be said that except for a few large cities such as Bingcheng, other areas are basically ignored.
To say that the Governor of Heilongjiang Province was a feudal official sent by Beiyang to manage the military and political affairs of Heilongjiang Province, it would be better to say that he was a diplomat sent by Beiyang to communicate with Mao Zi.
The most important task of the Governor of the Black Province is to appease Maozi, who may be irritable and cause trouble at any time.
"Reply the call, what the bandits did has nothing to do with our division. Bandits are a natural occurrence in Black Province..."
Zhu Chuanwen had never received a dime of military pay from Beiyang, so naturally he had no actual subordinates.
The main reason for being willing to belong to Beiyang is for the principle of one China.
Of course, Zhu Chuanwen responded to Beiyang's telegram however he wanted.
Zhu Chuanwen was not particularly angry about Beiyang's weakness, it was expected.
This has been the attitude at home and abroad since decades ago.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Just remember this lesson deeply.
At this time, there is really no strength in the country to start a war with Maozi.
Although at this young age, he dared to bully Maozi casually.
But this has nothing to do with the fragile Beiyang government.
"Guard, Beiyang asked us to help Maozi inspect the railway and eliminate the bandits." After the adjutant came back from the telegraph room, he continued to report to Zhu Chuanwen.
The best communication tool in this era is the telegraph.
Although the telephone is good, it is impossible to connect a telephone line to the capital.
Therefore, for a long time, especially during the war, the most practical way of communication was the telegraph.
In order to ensure the smooth flow of information, Zhu Chuanwen also spent a lot of money to import several batches of telegraph machines.
Communicating with Beiyang is a trivial matter, but more importantly, it is convenient to command the troops at critical times.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Please report our difficulties to Beiyang. It has been three or four years, and we have not seen a single ocean that Yuan Datou moved over."
Of course it is impossible for Zhu Chuanwen to follow Yuan Datou's arrangements and do it himself.
Even after Zhu Chuanwen's preemptive strike, many bandits had already realized that Mao Zi was profitable.
One after another joined in the destruction and looting along the Maozi Railway.
It is no longer entirely Zhu Chuanwen himself who is causing trouble for Mao Zi.
But even many bandits are not Zhu Chuanwen's people.
Zhu Chuanwen would not go looking for trouble with these bandits.
As long as they are willing to do whatever they want, Zhu Chuanwen recognizes these people as his own.
Zhu Chuanwen is like many people, as long as his beard is willing to fight against foreign enemies.
Just accept that the bandits can be cleansed.
"The Presidential Palace said that it is willing to reissue this year's silver to us."
The adjutant continued, it was obvious that Beiyang knew what kind of appeal he had.
It was impossible for Zhu Chuanwen to do something without bleeding, so he directly promised benefits.
"Okay, let's report to the Presidential Palace. Our department will follow the instructions of the Presidential Palace."
Zhu Chuanwen's establishment was still one division, but in fact it was an establishment of more than 10,000 people.
There will be no surplus people in Beiyang.
Besides, 20,000 people were sent out by Zhu Chuanwen to make trouble.
What can actually be mobilized is actually a division of 10,000 people.
According to the ring set by Yuan Datou, the ring for 10,000 people per year is at least one million silver dollars.
To be honest, Zhu Chuanwen was really moved by this number.
This money is enough for Zhu Chuanwen to support his 30,000 people for half a year.
It's definitely not a small amount, if it weren't for the blood transfusions from the famous mines and factories.
It was impossible for Zhu Chuanwen to raise and equip 30,000 people simply by relying on the tax revenue from the area he controlled.
The annual tax revenue from Zhu Chuanwen's territory is less than two million.
This money should be used for administrative expenses, education, medical care, infrastructure and other aspects of investment.
If these investments are okay and the amount is not too large, then it can be said that military investments are not expected to come online for the time being.
Just the basic investment in military equipment and military equipment can put the Heidong region's finances under Zhu Chuanwen's control into a serious deficit.
Since he has so much money, let Zhu Chuanwen act in a play with Yuan Datou.
It's not a problem to deal with Mao Zi for a while. The money is enough to cover the appearance fees of Zhu Chuanwen's division.
"Guardian, shall I go back to the telegraph room to reply?"
"Call Yuan Datou back and the silver has arrived at the warehouse. We will take action immediately."
Without money, Zhu Chuanwen could not take action. As long as the army left, the cost would double.
Which of the horse chews can be eaten by a person for free?
In order to increase the mobility of the army, Zhu Chuanwen could only equip a large number of livestock since he could not afford the automobile industry.
Based on the current road conditions outside the customs, the mobility of livestock is no worse than that of mechanized troops.
After Yuan Datou was bleeding, Zhu Chuanwen cooperated with Mao Zi and played hide and seek along the railway line.
The cooperation between Mao Zi and Zhu Chuanwen can be said to have made it more difficult for him to suppress the bandits.
It is not realistic to say that Maozi can be completely driven out of the customs at present.
But Zhu Chuanwen was fully capable of causing Mao Zi to actually lose control of the railway.
Once the railway is under Zhu Chuanwen's actual control, it will become a matter of negotiation.
The domestic situation in Maozi was turbulent and a revolution was about to occur.
It is not impossible to get these things back from the negotiation table.
Zhu Chuanwen may not understand the details of the situation that well.
But compared to grasping the international situation, no one has a more comprehensive grasp of the international situation than Zhu Chuanwen.
Although Zhu Chuanwen's strength is limited, there is not much he can use.
But when it can be used, it is undoubtedly crucial.
In addition to being a disaster, war also always represents an opportunity.
