The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

This year of spn is definitely a year full of drastic changes for Chinese society.

With the advent of agricultural mechanization, a large number of rural populations have been freed from land production, and at the same time, many rural populations have applied to become industrial populations to enter cities.

The first to perish is the rural natural economy.

The commodity economy of the Westerners has already had a severe impact on China's rural natural economy, but it is the urbanization of the population that has really brought the rural natural economy to its demise.

The labor force in the countryside is going to the cities, and the commodities in the cities are going to the countryside. The natural economy in the countryside with low production efficiency has been wiped out in some provinces. [

For example, in the Jiangsu area, the rural natural economy basically no longer exists.

A large number of workers have invested in various construction activities, among which the Beiyang government has passed a large number of construction projects, and this year's railway stocks are almost a myth.

The gentry and common people in various provinces bought a large number of railway stocks, forming a frenzied herd effect.The madness in railroad stocks created a lot of jobs.

The emergence of a large number of jobs has also stimulated the prosperity of commodity consumption.

In China at this time, as long as you have a lot of strength, you can earn a living.For those who have no strength, the government also has shelters.

This system has been popularized to all provinces in the country through Congress this year.

And Jiang Yu bought a large amount of grain, which fully ensured the supply of grain. Although the price of grain was a little more expensive, he could buy as much as he wanted.

The stable food supply makes it basically impossible for people to starve to death in Chinese cities at this time, and in rural areas as long as the labor force is willing to transfer to the cities, it is impossible to starve to death.

Railways, highways, mines, and mines have been built at a rapid speed under the construction of a large number of laborers, among which the construction of railways is the most crazy.

Within one year, the total length of China's railways rose to 68 kilometers.

However, in this year, many provinces still retained their original development speed, because the railway had not yet been repaired, and the administrative officials had not been completely replaced.

In the appointment of local administrative officials, the East China faction still has the upper hand.Jiangyu has the right to directly appoint officials within its territory, and the local officials that the central government can appoint are Sichuan, Zhili Province, Henan Province, and the three eastern provinces.

Before the administrative personnel came to the local area, it was natural for them to mobilize the local people to carry out construction independently.

Jiang Yu's second daughter was also born this year, and Brita gave birth to another daughter for him. Jiang Yu's mother was extremely disappointed by this.

Regarding the birth of the second daughter, Jiang Yu actually likes her daughter very much, but Brita blames herself very much, thinking that she failed to let the Jiang family pass on the family line.

Britta, who has been influenced by Chinese culture for several years, also understands the importance of a boy to a family, because in China boys are regarded as the continuation of their will, and everyone hopes that their children and grandchildren can continue their will.

Brita even began to encourage Jiang Yu to marry another woman back. Faced with his wife's tolerance, Jiang Yu was very pleased, and the last worry in his heart was thrown to the horizon.

Maybe this world can really realize his dream of having three wives and four concubines.

Yinmu is sexually violent, but it is also Sanyang Kaitai.

For China, this year may be Sanyang Kaitai, but for Westerners, this year will be the beginning of a tragic war.

The time entered June 1914, and Archduke Ferdinand, the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was still regarded as an abandoned son by the Austro-Hungarian Empire as in history.On the way to Saraje, the capital of Bosnia, he was assassinated by Serbian youths.

This so-called assassination was actually planned by the Allies themselves.

Because the German-Austrian alliance has already supported the high arms race, and its military budget has reached 140 billion marks, both countries feel that they can start a war immediately.

Every war needs a fuse, so you can find trouble if you have nothing to do!Sacrificing one or two important and seemingly important pawns is already insignificant in the face of the interests of the Allies.

The death of Archduke Ferdinand gave Austria-Hungary an excuse to launch a war. On July 1914, 7, with the support of Germany, Austria issued an ultimatum to Serbia, including arresting the murderer, suppressing anti-Austrian activities, and dismissing anti-Austrian officials. , Cyprus agrees to everything except those related to internal affairs.However, Austria still escalated its actions.At the same time, Germany was aware of Russia's military mobilization, and the Kaiser demanded that Russia stop and quickly prepare for war.Given the countries' tough diplomacy and pride in their national military might, war was avoidable.

On July 1914, 7, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia. On July 28, Russia mobilized and sent troops to aid Serbia. On August 7, Germany declared war on Russia, and on August 30, on France. On August 8, Germany invaded Belgium, which remained neutral, and Belgium declared war on Germany; on the same day, the United Kingdom considered the importance of Belgium to its own homeland security, and earlier signed the "London Treaty" in 1 to ensure Belgium's neutrality , and declared war on Germany. On August 3, Austria-Hungary declared war on Russia, Serbia declared war on Germany, and Italy declared neutrality. On August 8, Britain declared war on Austria-Hungary.World War I broke out.

Allies: Austria-Hungary, Germany, Ottoman Empire (Turkey).

Allies: Serbia, Russia, France, Belgium, Great Britain, Japan.

When the news spread to China, Jiang Yu was eager to see through it. Sure enough, as he expected, the First World War broke out.

Even if his appearance changed some history, the First World War is something that the general trend is, and it cannot be controlled by individual activities.

The Chinese Beiyang government reacted quickly and issued the "Declaration of Neutrality" on August 8, announcing that China remained neutral and would not participate in any party in the war.

China's neutrality did not attract much attention from both sides of the war. At this time, both the Allies and Allies felt that they could win the war quickly.

Therefore, it has not yet reached the middle and late stages of the war, frantically seeking other countries to join their camp.

The war began. Germany formulated a Schlieffen plan in 1905, but it was modified by Moltke, which weakened the right-wing offensive ability.

The result of the German-Austrian alliance, which was the first to start the war, is still the same as history. It failed to quickly solve France and end the battle on the Western Front, leaving Germany in an unfavorable strategic environment where it was attacked by enemies.

From this moment on, Germany was doomed to lose the war.

And because Germany is the offensive side, the battlefields are all fought on the land of other countries. Therefore, even if Germany loses the war, its domestic industrial base is still not destroyed, which provided the basis for it to launch World War II.

……

In the first few years when Germany occupied Qingdao, Japan did not dare to act rashly. Few people went to Qingdao for activities. It seemed that Japan had no idea or interest in Shandong and Qingdao.

This superficial method of psychological calm has long concealed Japan's ambition to occupy Qingdao. From 1913 to 1914, before the outbreak of the First World War, Japan suddenly became active, expressing unusual attention and interest in Qingdao, and frequently dispatching military and political officials. Party members went to Qingdao to investigate, spied on the situation of the German army in Qingdao, and waited for an opportunity to replace Germany's "lease" of Qingdao to establish a bridgehead for aggression and expansion to East Asia. This strong possessive desire prompted Japan to act intensively. [

On August 1914, 8, World War I finally broke out in Europe.All European countries have shrunk their front lines and devoted their energy and forces to European affairs, leaving little concern for the colonies of other countries.There are only a few thousand troops in Jiaozhou Bay. This situation is in the hands of Japan, so the Japanese government feels that the opportunity to take advantage of it is ripe. They are ready to fight with the German troops stationed in Qinghai, taking advantage of the situation to replace the Germans' possession of Qingdao. , Turn the coveted Qingdao into a swallow.

At this time, Germany had realized that Qingdao, which had only a few thousand troops, could not be defended, so it began to propose to Yuan Shikai to return the Qingdao Concession.

But the Germans didn't want to lose money. What Kaiser Wilhelm II meant was to ask the Chinese government to pay for Germany's construction in Qingdao, and at the same time choose a suitable port for Germany.

When the Beiyang government sent this condition to Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu said with a smile: "This is just a trick for the Germans to get out of their shells, and the conditions are not at all disadvantaged."

Yi Ruizhi asked Jiang Yu: "Then how do we reply to the President?"

"Tell him, there's no need to pay attention to the Germans now, it's enough to be perfunctory. When the time comes, the Germans will naturally come to us again." Jiang Yu said calmly, while reaching out his hand secretly on Yi Ruizhi's buttocks After patting it, Yi Ruizhi blushed slightly, gave Jiang Yu a white look, and cursed softly: "Damn ghost."

Jiang Yu smiled from behind, for the Yi sisters, they have their own styles.The chic and capable sister has a very attractive temperament. Not long ago, Jiang Yu was very excited that some of his small movements were acquiesced, which made his small movements bigger and bigger.

At this time, Yi Weijun came in from the outside. At this time, she didn't know the ambiguity between Jiang Yu and her sister, so she went straight to Jiang Yu and said to Jiang Yu: "Marshal, this is your sister today." Travel plan. During the day, we will inspect the arsenal and aircraft factory, and at night, we will go to the dinner party held by the East China Business Association in Huai'an."

"Well! That's the itinerary for today." Jiang Yu nodded, stood up and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the arsenal to inspect now."

……

In the Xinhua Palace in Beijing, Yuan Shikai looked at the proposal documents from the Germans, frowning and thinking.

From Yuan Shikai's point of view, the terms of the Germans were indeed not cheap, and they even had to pay a sum of money, and even if they agreed to the terms of the Germans to take back the Qingdao lease, the means were dishonorable, after all, it was a redemption.

At this time, Yuan Shikai was waiting for Jiang Yu's opinion. On such a major diplomatic matter, Yuan Shikai still felt that he was not as qualified as Jiang Yu to handle it.

After all, Jiang Yu has stayed abroad, been to Britain, France and Germany, and has established a certain relationship with German high-level officials in Germany. No matter from which point, he should be consulted.

Tang Shaoyi could only wait on the sidelines. At this time, Tang Shaoyi did not become the prime minister of the cabinet because Song Jiaoren was not dead, but became the first foreign minister of the Republic of China.

This time the Germans were looking for Tang Shaoyi to discuss the German Concession.

At this moment, a telegram came in.

Yuan Shikai quickly opened the message and read it, then stroked his beard and laughed, "Hehe! Although the Germans have a good relationship with this kid, it is obvious that this kid is not so easy to fool."

While talking, Yuan Shikai handed the telegram to Tang Shaoyi, and said to Tang Shaoyi: "Just follow the meaning above and talk to the Germans, and then tell the Germans that we really want to take back the Qingdao Concession, but we don't have money, and we can't find it for a while. To what suitable port." (to be continued)
