Wang Dongcheng was the most scheming one. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before sighing: "Shunqing, when we established the company, I also coveted the benefits and wanted to join. However, Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun and others looked down on us. The benefits
They have all taken over it, but now it seems that this may not be a good thing, but once chaos breaks out in Sichuan, it does not seem to be of any benefit to us. The most important thing for doing business here is local stability. If everything goes into chaos, who will
It’s too much to bear!”
"Boss Wang has great opinions, so the most important thing for us now is to have a strong force. When the crisis comes, we can stabilize the place. The first point is to have a strong army. I have already made plans. Regardless of whether the court will
No matter how to deal with this rebellion, I am prepared to eat up the patrol battalion, continue to expand the original patrol, strengthen training, protect the trade routes, and at the same time firmly protect Chongqing. With Dongchuan as the foundation, no matter what happens
We can handle big things, but it all depends on the concerted efforts of all of you here. Further, we can maintain Chongqing's industrial base and develop better at the same time. We are still in the light industry stage.
I have already arranged manpower to search for minerals. I believe that after a while, we will be able to enter heavy industry.
Only by having our own heavy industry, producing our own steel, and manufacturing machines, can we completely get rid of the restrictions of foreigners and have the confidence to control everything. But if we take a step back, with the unrest in Sichuan, even the family business we have now will be lost.
It will definitely be preserved." Qiao Yu knew that the more critical the moment, the more he had to beat these businessmen so that they would follow him wholeheartedly. As expected, everyone present thought for a moment and expressed their support and stood firmly with Qiao Yu.
On a united front.
Once the understanding is unified, it will be easier to handle. The next step is to deploy manpower from various places and enter each county to supervise taxation. In addition, some remaining local green battalion soldiers must be dealt with. Originally, the green battalions have been eliminated and reorganized since 1906, and the establishment of
Patrol Army, but the efficiency of the Qing government cannot be complimented. There are still a large number of green soldiers remaining in the local area. Now Qiao Yu is ready to bring these green soldiers under control in the name of strengthening public security. After all, they are not successful enough.
, but the incident is still exposed. From now on, the troops on the ground in Chongqing can only have the surname Qiao, and everyone else will stand aside.
After making arrangements with the Chamber of Commerce, Qiao Yu went straight to the Daotai Yamen. Now that most of the matter had been dealt with, he still had to explain it to these officials. When old man Zhu Youji saw Qiao Yu, he came
, his face was livid, not to mention how ugly he was, and so was Niu Chuanshan. Qiao Yu didn't care about their attitude and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, Master Niu, now the rebellion in the patrol camp has been completely suppressed, but some bandit leaders have returned
During the escape, nothing was captured, but Chongqing has returned to normal. As for what to do next, please tell me!"
"Hmph! Why are you asking the old man? You, Qiao Yu, have taken care of it all by yourself. I think you are the leader of the rebellious party and a complete sycophant!" Zhu Youji said angrily, twisting his face, as if he didn't want to talk to Qiao Yu.
Yu Duo talked, but Niu Chuanshan didn't dare to do this. Zhu Youji and Qiao Yu's fathers had known each other before, and they had a close relationship. It was fine if the old man complained a few times. If Niu Chuanshan talks like this, then he's going to eat peanuts!
"Shun Qing, don't be surprised that Mr. Shun is a little tired. The market has settled down. Haven't any of the leaders of the rebellious parties been caught?"
"Sir Niu, a dozen houses were robbed last night, and several properties were set alight. However, the patrol police acted overnight and arrested more than 200 rebels who took the opportunity to cause trouble, as well as some gangsters. Now on the market
It has completely returned to normal, but it is true that none of the leaders of the rebel party have been caught. Your Excellency, you must also know that Sun Wen and others have launched many rebellions in recent years, and the imperial court has not caught them! Chongqing is the trading place of Kaifu.
, Chinese and foreigners live together, they escape to the concession, and then use the power of foreigners to escape, we have no way!”….
"Yes, yes! Does Shun Qing have anything else to do?"
"I came here just to ask how the patrol battalion should be handled. Should it be restored or should it be reorganized?"
Qiao Yu asked this, and Niu Chuanshan and Zhu Youji were cursing in their hearts. After an incident, there are now a large number of officers in the patrol camp missing, and people's hearts are floating. It is extremely difficult to restore the original organization. Naturally, it is not feasible. Then proceed
There is no doubt that the rectification will be handed over to Qiao Yu, and this power will undoubtedly fall into Qiao Yu's hands again. Will they still have a voice in Chongqing in the future?
But not agreeing is not enough. Not only Qiao Yu can't explain it, but the court is also the same. If such a big thing happens, just let it go! Zhu Youji and Niu Chuanshan looked at each other, and Zhu Youji said: "In this way, I
I'd like to inform the new Governor and ask him to make a decision. For the time being, we will allocate the best from the patrol police and combine them with the patrol battalion to form a patrol army. You will be the temporary leader. In addition, the original deputy commander of the patrol battalion, He Xinwei, will
If you are capable, I will be your deputy, what do you think?"
Qiao Yu secretly laughed in his heart. At this time, the old guy still didn't forget to add sand to himself, but it was good. This arrangement would avoid arousing suspicion from outsiders, so he nodded in agreement.
All major matters have been arranged, and all that is left is to step up implementation. The strength of the chamber of commerce must be strengthened. At the same time, the administrative power in the city must also be taken into hands, to form a community, firmly control the local area, and do a good job in coordinating with the local area.
To prepare for the struggle for power and to prevent the landlords from counterattacking, the most important thing is to store a large amount of arms and intensify the training of the army.
Time flies, it is already May, and the news of the failure of the Huanghuagang Uprising has also spread to Chongqing. The three young people such as Shi Yi, Su Ding, and Yu Jianxiong were shocked the most. It turns out that they have been feeling confused since they argued with Qiao Yu.
There is still a trace of dissatisfaction, but with the failure of the Huanghuagang Uprising, facts have once again proved the serious problems of the Alliance. Those patriots who died were indeed brave and fearless, sacrificing their lives for the country and the people, but
Their leadership was really bad. Organizationally and militarily they were bad to a certain extent. Apart from their fast escape and loud slogans, they didn't have much to offer.
The three people finally decided to let go of their burdens and fully devoted themselves to Qiao Yu's subordinates. They joined the newly formed patrol army. Starting from the most ordinary officer, Shi Dingzhong also let go of the big stone in his heart and began to devote himself to
Invested in the recruitment and reorganization of the army.
It was a sunny day, and the sun was shining warmly on my body. It was very comfortable. Qiao Yu, Bai Kuan and others were waiting for the arrival of the old man Qiao Guangyuan on the Chongqing pier. Since his sister-in-law Zhang Xia was kidnapped, the Qiao family
I began to worry about my situation. Although my hometown was good, the situation was becoming more and more turbulent. Bandits were rampant in the countryside. The most important thing was that I found a bandit spy at home. The person who betrayed Zhang Xia's whereabouts was a groom from the Qiao family.
Later, when he was sending a message to Chen Heihu and Feige, he was caught by Qiao Cheng. After this incident, the old man became more and more worried. In addition, his two sons were both in Chongqing, so it was not convenient for them to go back and forth. The two elders had people deal with him.
After taking care of the family property, I prepared to settle in Chongqing.
After all, it is a big family with many soft things, so we took the water route. We finally arrived in Chongqing on this day. The old man Qiao Guangyuan looked very energetic and got off the boat with Mrs. Bai. Qiao Yu and Qiao Cheng supported their parents and the two elders.
When I was about to go home, suddenly a little newsboy waved a stack of newspapers and shouted: "Extra! Extra! The cabinet list has been announced, and all seven of them are members of the royal family!"
The old man Qiao Guangyuan had a very bad ear. When he heard this, he hurriedly asked Qiao Yu to buy a newspaper. Qiao Guangyuan couldn't wait to take out his reading glasses, opened the newspaper and read it carefully!
After watching for a long time, the old man looked sad and sighed: "After all, you still don't trust us! Let's go and talk about it at home!"
