Li Xiang's horse boots are rustling on the gravel road. This is already Liujiamiao Station, and the gravel under his feet can be seen at a glance that it has just been paved. Lixiang couldn't believe that this was no longer the ruins of Liujiamiao Station. When they walked to Liujiamiao Station, it was already past noon, and the migrant workers had finished lunch and began to work. Li wanted to see these thousands of people under the sun, like ants, densely distributed on the vast construction site. Only when such a large-scale labor scene was concentrated in front of him did he know that it was shocking.

Li Xiang suddenly remembered the distant memory that was about to be forgotten. When he was a child, he built roads in the village without the help of modern machinery. Thousands of farmers danced hoes to build the road. The picture in front of him overlaps with the memory of his childhood. Li wants to deeply feel the greatness of the Chinese working people. No matter how difficult things they face, they can solve them with their hard-working hands. Their hard-working efforts are the foundation of their struggle to survive in this cannibalistic society. This is also the root of the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization that has been repeatedly invaded by foreigners, but they have always been able to keep the inheritance of civilization until now. In the ancient world civilization, only the Chinese civilization has been passed down for 5,000 years and is still there.

Li Xiang thought fiercely that even if China is so weak now, it is not the object that imperialists can humiliate. As long as a Chinese stand up and wakes up the Chinese people who are still sleeping, he will avenge this country.

Li Xiang was unconsciously in a daze again. Tie Gongqi came to say hello to him, but he didn't notice it yet. Tie Gongqi asked hello on the side. Seeing that Li Xiang did not answer, he was thinking about what he was thinking, and he did not dare to interrupt Li Xiang's thoughts, so he stood silently waiting beside Li Xiang.

Tang Yue was speechless on the side. In the past two days, he has seen Li Xiang inexplicably in a daze for many times. He is always like this regardless of the occasion. The construction site is bustling, and he can also wander around. Tang Yuewan really couldn't stand it. Tie Gongqi stood on the side, sweating non-stop. It seemed that there was something urgent to find Li. Tang Yuewan pushed behind Li Xiang and woke him up.

Li wanted to turn around from yy and looked at Tang Yuewan with a question mark. Tang Yuewan asked him not to look at me. Li wanted to turn his head again. Tie Gongqi didn't know when he stood beside him. "When did you come? What's the matter?"

Tie Gongqi took out a white handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, "Shal, I just arrived. It's a little troublesome. I really have no choice but to come to you for discussion.

"Say it." Li wants to talk while walking. He wants to take a good look at the project here first. The ruins of Liujiamiao Station have been basically cleaned up. Several mountain-like engineering materials have been piled up in the vast open space. Li Xiang took people and turned to the mountain-like materials.

Tie Gongqi followed Li Xiang closely, considered the wording, and said, "Now the British Consulate has known that Xinhua Ocean Bank is not the British Dutchman Jack. The British Concession Police Department requires us to leave the concession as soon as possible. In addition, the World Chamber of Commerce and the British Chamber of Commerce jointly revoked the membership of Xinhua Foreign Bank. We Xinhuayanghang can't do this shipping and foreign trade anyway.

The foreigner's movements were fast enough. Li Xiang thought about leaning against the box on the right hand side and said, "It's not just that shipping and foreign trade can't be done. It is estimated that the existing assets of Xinhua Ocean Bank will be swallowed up by them."

"Marshal, you can do this. I have a hundred ways to hollow out Xinhua and leave an empty shell for foreigners. But the foreign trade right is gone. What will Xinhuahang do in the future? Tie Gongqi is not bragging. He has the ability to do this in his industry. What he is most worried about now is foreign trade rights. The foreign trade rights in Hankou have always been in the hands of foreigners. All Li Xiang's Xinhua Yangxing will find a foreigner to be named. Tie Gongqi was so anxious that he was sweating. He also had shares in Xinhua Yangxing. Naturally, he was also worried about the future of Xinhua Yangxing.

Li Xiang and the foreigner tore his face, and this result was already expected. "Don't worry, since Xinhua Yanghang can't stay in the concession, it will withdraw its investment directly from Hong Kong and register with the Hankou Revolutionary Military Government. In my name, it has become Xinhua Group Company. In this way, it can stabilize the economy of Hankou and promote the economic prosperity of Hankou. It is also necessary to let the citizens of Hankou know that I have put all my money in Hankou and have the determination to coexist with Hankou.

"The commander-in-chief's move is indeed of great encouragement to all walks of life in Hankou, so that all walks of life in Hankou can unite as one to fight against the North Sea. But is the marshal ready to give up the hard operation of Xinhua Yanghang over the years, a very mature overseas trade network, and then vigorously develop the industry in China? Tie Gongqi never forgets the foreign trade of Xinhua Foreign Bank. The foreign trade in this era is huge profits, and no one is coveted. It is only when the business of Xinhua Yangxing has become bigger and bigger in recent years that it has attracted people's thoughts and found these ups and downs. There are many foreign trade companies like Xinhua Yanghang, which are actually controlled by the Chinese, in the concession, but they are all small companies, and the foreign adults just open one eye and close the other.

Li Xiang, who always tries to make a big deal of speculation, of course, will not watch large pieces of fat being robbed by foreigners. Li wanted to squint at the sun above his head, and immediately dodged again. The autumn sun was also dazzling. After thinking about it over and over again, he told Tie Gongqi the way he had recently found out how to deal with this. Foreign trade still needs to be done. The signboard of Xinhua Ocean Bank can't be used. Just find a few foreign beggars to put up a new signboard in the concession. But you can't do it like Xinhua Yanghang. If the business is too big, you will get careful attention. In order to split all the current businesses of Xinhua Yanghang, each new company is only responsible for one of the businesses. In this way, Xinhua Yangxing will be transformed into zero, and foreign trade will still be the same.

Tie Gongqi's eyes lit up. He seemed to have walked into a dead end. When he approached, there was still a way out at the corner. Tie Gongqi nodded repeatedly and said, "I think it's feasible for the general to do it. And it is also very in line with the consistent style of the commander-in-chief's management company and power restriction. These subsidiaries, which are secretly controlled by us, are dependent on each other and are restricted. As long as they are out of our control, they will not be able to survive. The subsidiary that we are fully mastered is a Xinhua foreign bank when gathered together.

Old people like Tie Gongqi said it was feasible. Li Xiangxin was a little more down-to-earth. Finally, he told Tie Gongqi, "You are fully responsible for the affairs of the Xinhua consortium. Let Feng Xiaoyu's political committee fully cooperate. When I go back to Hankou, I will see the results. You can let go of the General Logistics Department and General Equipment Department of the Military Commission. You can discuss it with Feng Xiaoqi and choose a safe person to be responsible.

It's the matter here. Tie Gongqi squirmed his fat body and climbed up the rail truck with the support of several people. At this moment, the empty rail truck went to Liujiamiao wharf to transport materials. The mountain of engineering materials piled up at Liujiamiao Station are transported by Xinhuayanghang to Liujiamiao wharf by water, and then to Liujiamiao Station by rail trucks. Tie Gongqi came directly to Liujia Temple by boat. No wonder he caught up with Li Xiang so quickly, and now he goes back to the dock by boat.

Li thought that this was much more comfortable than riding a horse. Tie Gongqi was quite able to enjoy it, but it was really difficult for him to ask Tie Gongqi's huge body to ride a horse. It's time to introduce internal combustion engines, that is, you can make transportation tools such as cars without riding horses and bumping buttocks; you can also make mechanized equipment such as tractors to replace animal farming, improve agricultural production efficiency, and liberate more labor to engage in industry; and you can also make war tools such as tanks. In the killing field of this era, it is simply invincible.

Li Xiang couldn't help sighing. All these wonderful ideas have a premise, which is to resist the offensive of the Beiyang Army, at least to defend Hankou. The most urgent thing at hand is to clean up the mixed association of Henan Zhang Xiyuan, who is staying in Xiaogan.

Zhang Xiyuan was going to run away, but he was excited by Zhang Biao and stayed. But he didn't dare to go to Huangpi and directly transferred troops into the city to guard Xiaogan. Zhang Xiyuan has run to Xiaogan's telegraph bureau. Listening to the ticking telegram in the telegraph room, he was even more anxious and restless. The telegrams were constantly photographed, urging the imperial minister, the imperial minister, to send the Beiyang army to the south to support. With the revolutionary army's thunderous means of winning the three bridges, the next is Huangpi, and then there is no doubt that it is filial piety.

The remnants of the Sandao Bridge have come to Xiaogan one after another. The revolutionary army did not kill again later. They released all the captured Qing soldiers and drove them to Xiaogan. These defeated Qing soldiers everywhere advocated the strength of the revolutionary army, and told the original story of the tragic battle last night. The Qing soldiers in Xiaogan's scalp were numb. If they fought with the revolutionary army, they were just looking for death. Li Xiping also learned Li Xiang's treachery. In one night, he developed a group of informers among these prisoners. These informers don't need to be loyal and reliable, as long as they cause chaos to the heart of the Qing army in Xiaogan. Now, looking at the effect, it has fully achieved Li Xiping's goal.

Zhang Xiyuan naturally soon found out that the soldiers retreated from the three bridges were shaken by the Qing army in Xiaogan City. Zhang Xiyuan immediately ordered the troops to disperse the defeated soldiers of these three bridges, block the gate of Xiaogan City, and not allow anyone to enter or leave. Zhang Xiyuan's orders made his Henan mixed association more flustered.

Those defeated soldiers of the three bridges did not enter the city gate after coming to Xiaogan, so they clung to the root of the wall of Xiaogan. These defeated soldiers had just escaped from the ghost gate and went to Xiaogan with only half of their lives left. They were hungry and tired, and they were not allowed to enter the city. Some people really have no strength, so they will lie down and bask in the sun on the root of the city wall to breathe slowly. Some people still have a little strength to scold at the root of the city wall. His eighteen-generation ancestors of Zhang Xiyuan were scolded to turn over from the coffin.

Zhang Xiyuan hid in the telegram and listened to the ticking. When he scolded outside the city, he didn't know anything. However, Zhang Xiyuan also scolded in his heart. Yanchang, you are two hundred and fifty. Zhang Xiyuan was not idle, urging the telegram to weed all the eighteen generations of ancestors of Yingchang.

At this moment, Yingchang is riding a horse outside the Beiguan of Zhangde Prefecture, Henan Province. Yingchang wears a hat and a raincoat. In the face of the drizzling and unlucky weather, he became more and more groaned and hummed his dream. But the drizzle in front of us is lingering, and a bay of Yuanshui flows quietly. There is a village on the waterfront like in the painting, and it has arrived at the famous Yuanshang Village. Yuan Shikai was ordered to "go home" and chose this good place. Yanchang couldn't help sighing, "What a paradise."

Yinchang and his entourage entered the village. Most of the village was surrounded by a high wall. There were several turrets outside the wall, and there were several machine gun dark castles inside the wall. The immediate shade was shocking. Yuan Shikai's longevity garden is stricter than some king castles he has seen in Europe. There are also two groups of cavalry patrolling outside the village, which is comparable to some European kings. With so many tricks, who is Yuan Shikai guarding against?

Yinchang was introduced into the longevity garden by the eldest son Yuan Keding. There is a villa and pavilion corridor in the garden, which reflects the green trees, which looks particularly elegant. After Yinchang entered the garden, he saw that in the continuous drizzle, Yuan Shikai wore a bucket hat, put on a raincoat, and sat and fished at the edge of the pool. Yuan Shikai's quiet and incompetent interest, such as the profound artistic conception of ink and landscape.

Yuan Keding wanted to call his father, and Yu Chang immediately waved his hand to stop him. He didn't want to disturb Yuan Gongbao's rare interest. Yinchang and Yuan Keding stood quietly behind Yuan Shikai and watched him fish in the rain. Yinchang's legs were numb. Yuan Shikai didn't catch a fish. Yinchang was extremely regretful. He had asked Yuan Keding to call his father here before, and he didn't have to accompany Yuan Shikai to pretend to be a famous man and suffer. Until when Yanchang was about to lose his patience, Yuan Shikai finally put away the fishing rod. When he saw that Yuan Shikai's hook had no fish and no bait, he thought the fish was fishing. Yan Chang sighed in his heart that Yuan Shikai's famous scholar was really good.

Yuan Shikai looked back and saw that Yanchang and Yuan Keding were still standing here. First, they pretended to be shocked, then scolded Yuan Keding for his poor hospitality, and then affectionately took Yanchang's hand and walked to the flower hall.

After a polite greeting between the two, Yinchang went straight to the point. After all, shade Chang and Yuan Shikai have always known each other, and they are still old friends when Yuan Shikai trained the new army in Tianjin. When Yuan Shikai was almost beheaded by the regent Zaifeng, the regent, he said a lot of good words for him.

Shady Chang didn't cover it up and said directly, "My imperial minister is at my disposal at all. My new first army, I really can't go on when I walk to Xinyang. It's all blocked at Xinyang Railway Station and messed up into a pot of porridge.

Yuan Shikai's right hand despised the short beard under the item, shook his head and smiled and said, "Huafu and Zhiquan should also know that my relationship is extraordinary, and they are all recommended to me by you. They won't even give you the face of Bole, will they? I really need to send someone to question it. Although the personnel changes in this army have changed for so many years, my words have not worked, but after all, they are the people who came out of my door.

Yin Chang hurriedly smiled and said, "Gong Bao's words are heavy. Although Hua Fu and Zhiquan are a little emotional, they are still willing to listen to the court. On the contrary, Wu Luzhen and Zhang Shaozeng, the cabinet ordered the sixth and twentieth towns to transfer one of my first army, and their battalions did not give them any soldiers. The plot of this social party is obvious.

"Zongshe Party! Wu Luzhen?" Yuan Shikai's eyes shot a fierce light, but it was just a flash. Yuan Shikai has heard of Wu Luzhen's name for a long time, but at this time, it sounds even harsher. He unconsciously read the name, Wu Luzhen? What kind of social party is that? Yuan Shikai has secretly received a lot of alliance members in Yuanshang Village. The name seems to have been heard since then, but he is not going to say anything about it yet.

After tasting a sip of tea, Yang Changqian said, "There are a series of urgent reports in Hubei. The bandit Li Xiang is very arrogant. In the past two days, he has gone to several cities in a row, and he is close to filial piety. Now the telegram sent to me for help sent by Zhang Xiyuan of Xiaogan has not been interrupted. I was also forced to be helpless, so I came to ask Gongbao for a response.

Yuan Shikai laughed, got up and went to the bookshelf to get a newspaper, handed it to Zhu Chang, and said carelessly, "Li Xiang was not well-known before, that is, the long-haired boxers, and the chaos will be returned. Fighting is just a moment of courage, which is not to be afraid. The person you really want to worry about is Li Yuanhong. He is a military general, which is not easy to deal with.

Shady Chang sighed secretly that he was not a piece of material to lead the army at all. In those years, he was worried about the chaos of boxing in Shandong. Li thinks that he doesn't need to be very good at it. As long as he has the ability of boxers in those years, it is enough for him to drink a pot. However, in the opinion of shade Chang, Li Xiang's ability is not only for boxers. This time, Gong Bao may really be a miss. In those years in Europe, he has received an orthodox Western-style education and knows what a national movement is. In those years in Europe, he has seen a lot of examples. In his eyes, what Li thought did was a national movement.

These things can't be explained to Yuan Shikai for a while, and he is too lazy to talk about it. Anyway, looking at the world, the flag man can't sit still.
