However, Cai Shaoji, the general manager of the Bureau of Reclamation, ran to the general’s office almost every day to ask for money. Iktangga’s head was so overwhelmed that he urgently asked the court for a decree to pray for the allocation of relief funds

The result was denounced by Cixi. It turned out that when Zhang Yi was in a position, Fengtian increased by six million farmers. Zhang Yi didn’t ask the court for a penny. Why did Iktangga ask the court for money just two months after he arrived in Fengtian? Last year, Zhang Yi took the lead in paying 15.6 million taels of silver to the imperial court. If you can’t do it, please give me a table and I’ll find someone else!
Iktangga was so bitter that he rushed around trying to calm things down and stop the policy of attracting people from Fengtian. As a result, the peasants quit as soon as the decree came to Fengtian, and they flocked to the general’s office to make it impenetrable.
This is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that a horse bandit, Liaoxi, suddenly hijacked a leather goods worth nearly one million taels in Qiao Zhiyong Dadetong, a Shanxi merchant. This is terrible.
All the Shanxi merchants in Fengtian jointly asked the imperial court, General Shengjing, to come forward to solve these Shanxi merchants. Last year, Zhang Yi came forward and invited the big businessmen to swear that they would protect their business. Juan, this happened only one year ago. What happened?
These Shanxi merchants have their own different ways in the DPRK, saying that the important officials in the DPRK are inextricably linked, and the Shanxi merchants put pressure on the DPRK ministers to resist the pressure and start impeaching Iktangga. Everything in Fengtian was out of control and the situation was in a mess.
Impeachment of Minister Shi Tai and other ministers laid out the case of Empress Dowager Cixi Guangxu one after another, which not only caused turmoil in Fengtian, but also affected the three provinces of Heilongjiang Anwai.
Cixi will break into a furious rage and scold Zhang Yi, Li Hongzao and others when Zhang Yi was in charge of Fengtian. All bandits were wiped out and disappeared. Now Zhang Yi has just left her job and just talked about the chaos in the three northeastern provinces for several months. You people from Fengtian and Jilin have never been civilized and the folk customs are tough. Can you be deterred as individuals? Now, nearly one million taels of silver goods from Shanxi merchants have been robbed. What should local farmers do if they complain? Who will clean up the situation? Iktangga has always been brave and brave, and now he is overwhelmed. Who can shock the three northeastern provinces?
Cixi denounced Li Hongzao’s fortitude and others until they blushed and dared not speak angrily. Cixi dared not provoke even Prince Gong to speak easily.
Li Hongzhang replied, "The best way for Lafayette now is to let Zhang Yi rule the Fengtian army again. You just said last night that the Fengtian folk customs are tough and the Fengtian army is proud and fierce from the Korean battlefield, and it will be really difficult if Zhang Jian doesn’t scare me."
Cixi said with a cold hum, "Little Tsuen, are you confused? The imperial court has just appointed General Kensei Shengjing as an errand, and in less than three months, the imperial court will appoint him back to General Shengjing again. What about the imperial court’s face? Where to put it? "
Li Hongzhang gave a wry smile and said that he was really old. He remembered that he wanted to restore his firm position, but he forgot about this quarrel. Isn’t this the best way for Lafayette to let her hit her face? It’s Lafayette. If you don’t resume your firm position now, you won’t want to resume it until the situation in Fengtian is out of control. Then it’s not just a matter of giving him a general Shengjing to get over it.
Cixi was quite stuffy, and Emperor Guangxu was livid. It was all these stubborn old people who made a good noise. This group of people can’t hide that Qing is a little better!
Cixi said stiffly, "Well, let’s do it first. The purpose is to ask Iktangga’s Ministry of State Affairs to return the tax money paid by Fengtian to 602,000 yuan to stabilize the situation in Fengtian. He asked Iktangga to find a way to solve the unstable situation in Fengtian himself!"
One side eunuch hurried to wait on the unlucky Iktangga, so he was put into the stove!
Chapter two hundred and thirteen Acquisition
While the Qing court was in turmoil, Zhang Yi had led the delegation directly to Hamburg, Germany.
Started the formation of a visit to Germany
Hamburg is a famous big city in Germany.
German William III has sent a special envoy to Hamburg to welcome Zhang Yi’s visit, but William III personally issued an invitation and received a very high standard. Gustav even personally came to Hamburg to meet Zhang Yi.
After Zhang Yi’s envoy met, Gustav couldn’t wait to say to Zhang Yi, "Dear General Jian, I can’t understand why an outstanding young general like you, an outstanding politician in the future, and the emperor and the queen mother of your country want to dismiss you. If you are German, I think William III Pavilion will definitely put you in the position of Chief of Staff of the Army. You are the most talented general in the East!"
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Gustav Pavilion’s resignation is not relegation, but promotion. It is not as serious as you think, Mr. Gustav. You filtered it."
Gustav laughed. "It’s you who left, but I heard that Fengtian is in chaos now, and bandits are rampant. Even our coal and steel complex has been hit. General Jian, you should exert your influence to stabilize the situation."
Zhang Yi questioned, "Oh, really? It’s really not clear that my land and sea countries have broken off all this way. What’s going on in Fengtian now? Lord Iktangga is a famous minister in Qing Dynasty.
There won’t be much problem. "
Gustav wry smile way: "General Jian, you are too optimistic. Now feng tian suddenly has more than a dozen bandits. Iktangga’s poor payment has been frustrated repeatedly, and the policy of attracting people has been suspended because of financial constraints. Now Fengtian has been the leader of the group. It still depends on you. You have a high prestige and a strong word. Without you, I’m afraid Fengtian is difficult to govern."
Zhang Yi was surprised and asked, "Losing again and again? How is that possible? Our army dare not say that natural enemies, at least the eastern world, are galloping and encountering opponents. How can they be defeated by bandits? “
Gustav replied, "General Jian heard that your soldiers haven’t paid salaries for more than three months in a row, but he complained that many soldiers have left the army. How can they win? General Jian, didn’t you get a huge loan from Germany? Why can’t you even pay salaries?"
Zhang Yi replied, "Mr. Gustav, I borrowed money to get benefits. Military pay is a method to recover expenses. I borrowed money and I have to spend on economic construction and infrastructure. Most of the borrowing money will be used to build railways and ports. The court should bear the expenses. Besides, if our coal and steel complex is attacked by bandits and suffers losses, I suggest that you should join the Americans to protest to the Qing court and ask the government to make a guarantee to protect your property from harm."
Gustav said, "yes, Mr. Jian, we are also accurate."
Prepare to contact the United States and think about your government’s pressure. Our property is sacred. "
Zhang Yi said with a smile, "We can discuss these later. Anyway, I have come to Germany to do things in China. Even if I try my best, I can’t do anything. Let’s just calm down and do our things."
Gustav laughed. "I know there are two people you can’t get around when you come to the German Empire. One is our German emperor and the other is the old Prime Minister Bismarck."
Zhang Yi said, "It is inevitable that I have full respect for them, but I want to ask you a favor before I go to Berlin to meet these two respected gentlemen."
Gustav asked, "What is it?"
Zhang Yi replied, "I also want to buy several factories in Germany this time. One is a large-scale factory in the research and development of gas turbines, and the other is a machine tool factory. These are all Fengtian development industries. Our complex Liaohe Oilfield must be transported from Germany or the United States to China. Just transporting it is a lot of money. I don’t know much about your market. I want to ask you to help me find one. Of course, you know that my funds are limited and too large. I’m afraid I can’t afford it."
Gustav eyebrows a wrinkly doubt way "buy gas turbine factory? You’re going to … Krupp, a heavy industrial giant, is the leader in gas turbine technology, and you’re going to buy a gas turbine factory. Are there any technologies that need to be solved with our support behind you? "
Zhang Yi laughed. "Gustav, I can’t always rely on it.
You Krupp support dinner, right? Everyone has dignity. I hope we can eat equally. I have no appetite, and I still have many ideas in my heart. I need a factory to come. I confirm that of course, no matter when the time comes, my Krupp group’s intimacy will not be weakened by half. We are close allies, aren’t we? "
Gustav nodded and said, "in that case, I’ll take a look at it for you, but how much money have you prepared to buy the factory?"
Zhang Yi replied, "I want to take a gas turbine factory back to China from equipment to engineering department for five million and two thousand silver."
"Five million and two thousand?" Gustav hesitated a little and said, "It should be no problem for General Jian to buy equipment and technology in a gas turbine factory for 5 million and 2 million yuan, but it is very difficult to buy it together with engineers."
Zhang Yi said, "That depends on Gustav leading me to wait for your good news."
Gustav nodded. "Well, I’ll try my best. We can focus on the factories with poor management conditions, so that we can hold certain words and take the initiative to lower the price appropriately."
Zhang Yi nodded and laughed. "Good Mr. Gustav deserves to be a business hero. That’s a good idea. I’ll please you. I’ll thank you and give you 2% of my shares. I hope Mr. Gustav won’t let me down."
Gustav heard the news, patting his chest with great joy, and made a pledge that his chest was broken with stones.
Zhang Yi will do a good job in this matter. Zhang Yi laughed at his heart. With this 2% stake, I don’t believe Gustav doesn’t work hard. After all, although the Krupp Regiment is a giant, after all, he is not alone. His own share is only 402,000 silver, and it is a share. This is a lot of wealth. Gustav hangs a piece of meat in front and he will run fast behind. This is human nature!
Chapter two hundred and fourteen Gathered together
There was a burst of laughter in the Chinese club in Hamburg. Tan Sitong and Liang Qichao, German students studying abroad, surrounded Zhang Yi, who was holding a welcome meeting.
Tan Sitong came here specially from London, England, and also brought Qiao Yingxia, who is studying in the UK, while Liang Qichao came from France. The head of German students was Lin Xu, a bunch of key members who had been studying abroad, who came to Hamburg one after another.
Zhang Yi, all of them, first made a polite talk, then made a generous parting, and then Tan Sitong started the study abroad. All of them were more than 60 people, all of whom were young people with blood and passion in Qing Dynasty, and they were full of talents when they raised their chests. This time, more than 30 people studied social sciences in foreign countries, and more than 30 people entered the Western Engineering University to study western engineering, technology and finance. In an instant, they have been studying abroad for nearly two years, and their learning experience in these two years has opened their eyes. It is no longer Wu Amon that year.
Tan Sitong said, "It is firmly established that some of us who study social sciences are close to graduation and will soon complete their studies. Once we return to China, we will vigorously mobilize the imperial court to reform and promote political reform in order to strengthen the country. I believe that most people in the imperial court still hope that the country will be prosperous and strong."
