Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Fang Bingsheng stepped on the trap of the Chung Jialiang Foreign Medicine Guild in the 1871 election.

    In order to break the railway monopoly of Song You Railway and Electric Co., Ltd. and share the huge cake of the Railway Great Leap Forward, the Western Medicine Association instigated someone from Song You to assassinate the American Pan Jinxing and framed the leader of the Liberal Party, Zhang Qijie. Unexpectedly, the Foreign Medicine Association would turn around again.  He went to the government to report that senior officials of Songyou Railway and Electric Co., Ltd. were plotting major crimes to interfere with the election.

    As a result, even though the assassination was not carried out at all, the whole group was captured.

    After a year of interrogation in this major case reported by the Western Medicine Guild, the killer Liu Yaomin was released due to lack of evidence. After all, he did not shoot or even take out the guy.

    Song You Tiedian is a powerful person no matter what. Stationmaster Lu, an "outsider" who "acted bravely for justice", was released on bail one day after Lin left his name to testify. Fang Bingsheng was escorted to the capital. A month later, through upper-level operations, he was also released on bail.  , the case ended without any illness.

    However, just as Zhong Jialiang predicted: Although he will not be directly brought down, Weng Jianguang's imperial favorite is a bit doomed. He actually wants to interfere with the election that the emperor has given great hope and hard work for his own personal gain. Which emperor would like such a person?  .

    And Weng Jianguang then received another heavy punch, and the emperor's favorite was completely finished.

    During the subsequent military exercise in which the army learned from Germany's railway mobilization, a group of big shots tried their best to stumble Song You Iron and Steel.

    Originally, it was not easy for railways to mobilize army baggage. It required the coordination of the entire route. The powerful railway system of France, a European powerhouse, was overwhelmed and paralyzed during the Franco-Prussian War, and it relied on mule and horse transport teams for emergency relief.

    The virtual scenario of this exercise is: "The clowns of the Qing Kingdom suddenly attack our empire's Gan Province. Our Holy Empire Army and the Knife Corps provide lightning support, and the Iron River leaps into Ganzhou."

    It sounds scary and domineering, but because the railway is too short, it is actually a matter of mobilizing troops from Haijing to Ganzhou. The tool is not a ship but a railway.

    Although the Song Dynasty Railway was as short as a short-legged puppy, with few nodes, it could only transport 25,000 soldiers and artillery baggage. Moreover, according to a fair agreement, the imperial court requisitioned all the railways to transport only military targets.  Closed to all civilian uses.  It doesn¡¯t look too stressful.

    However, the Army claimed that for the sake of "authenticity of the exercise", it was despicable and shameless to hand over the transportation list to Song You Railway and Electric Co., Ltd. just two days ago. As a result, Weng Jianguang stayed up for two days and two nights, watching his elites calculate and plan the transportation sequence all night long.  .

    Not only did they not give Song You Tiedian enough time to coordinate.  The Army also stumbled.  There are constant sudden changes or additional transportation requirements.  The inexperienced Song You Tiedian simply could not withstand the increase and capriciousness of the Army's several demands a day:

    The front line is in an emergency, so immediately throw away the baggage and transport the two battalions to Ganzhou with priority!  ¡ª¡ªThe sequence is invalid.  The elites in the dispatch room will rack their brains to re-order a new operations list;

    The troops and horses have not yet moved the food and grass, so go ahead!  There is not enough rations on the front line!  Transport rations into Ganzhou immediately!  Urgent! Urgent!  ¡ª¡ªAll of a sudden, this train was raised to the highest priority level, and the slower trains along the line immediately gave way, preparing for it to be pulled all the way to Ganzhou with the best locomotive;

    We, a thousand wounded soldiers in Ganzhou, urgently need to be transported back to the Haijing base camp - OK, hurry up and prepare a return vehicle for me;

    The war on the front line is urgent. We must immediately suspend the rations and baggage and transport the 5,000-knife regiment in advance - OK, allocate wagons to me and change the transportation sequence;

    There was a sudden heavy rain in Jiangxi, the roads were muddy, there was a lack of mules and horses, and the troops could not move forward. They immediately transported mules, horses and carriages - okay, the previous sequence was a waste of paper again;

    Three days after the exercise began, the Army's arch-rival, the Navy, actually came forward to make peace with the Army. They actually cooperated with the Army, "cheated" the emperor, and gained the qualification to issue orders to Song You Tiedian: The Fujian Nanyang Navy took advantage of our  As the army marches north, they sneak attack on our capital city, but have been repelled by our Royal Navy. Now we will immediately withdraw our 5,000 soldiers, prepare to ship to Xiamen, and cooperate with the army to carry out a pincer attack - OK, arrange for me immediately from  On the train from Ganzhou to Haijing, I will transport the men and horses you transported there yesterday intact.

    ¡­¡­.

    Originally, this was the first railway military deployment exercise in East Asia since the beginning of the world. Songyou Iron & Electric had no experience, but it also encountered the army and navy desperately looking for trouble. You know, even if it was as powerful and precise as Prussia, in the Franco-Prussian War, railway deployment was still difficult.  There was a problem, so that the front line only had soldiers and guns, but no rations. The rations were piled up in the train station behind!

    Prussia, which is recognized as the most efficient railway operator in the world, cannot achieve perfection with railways, let alone the small Song Dynasty Songyou Railway and Electric. They originally learned to imitate the French railways whose railway system was crushed and collapsed during the Franco-Prussian War.

    Not only did Weng Jianguang face the trap of traitors in the power arena, he also cut off his own hand: in order to escape from Longchuan??I can give iron and electricity to whomever I want, and there is no legal or ethical problem at all.

    In view of the poor performance of Song You Tiedian, they were serious state coordinators, so the emperor's heart gradually deviated from Xu Chuan's idea, and he was inclined to collect money from the people to build railways, but in this case he  They are also forced to hold the control and management of railways. Otherwise, how can stupid people raise funds to build and manage railways?  However, this model of private investment in government management does not differentiate between government and civilians, which can easily trigger civil unrest, because there will always be people who will take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

    He wants to prevent the "Road Protection Movement" in which the scum of the management with plundering and poor management incited the stupid people to protect their own interests. The "simple and kind" Chinese people are not easy to mess with. They are only allowed to make money for themselves. Once they lose, they will be punished.  If people are instigated, they will gather together and blackmail others in an act that is not punishable by the law. This is completely a bandit.

    Either the issuance of stocks is completely private, or the issuance of bonds is completely state-owned. However, railways are too important to the country's military economy and must be coordinated. If there are both state-owned and private companies, it will also involve the issue of grid connection. If the entire network is not deployed, the private route will  What should I do if a train crashes on a state-run route?  How to manage?  Who will manage it?  As long as the court dares to intervene, some people will dare to commit corruption, because there is too much money involved in the construction and operation of railways, and if there are hundreds of thousands of local shareholders, fools or mobs behind each railway, I guess this will cause a big disaster.  Rebellious!

    The emperor was very hesitant about this.

    However, although the emperor had not yet expressed his opinion, Weng Jianguang, who was a little disgusted by the emperor's loss of face in front of his son, was eliminated cleanly. From then on, he never had the chance to play mahjong with the emperor, nor was he even interviewed. In this way  The clear signal of disgust made the "treacherous ministers" celebrate each other, and Xu Chuanchuan had to alienate Weng Jianguang immediately in disgrace, and immediately returned the luxury yacht "lent" to his family by Weng Jianguang.

    No matter who gets the share of the newly opened railway leapfrog pie, Weng Jianguang, who was disgusted by the Poseidon Emperor, was kicked out of the circle of powerful people. Recently, the chairman of the Song Dynasty court said: The boss of Song You Tiedian has been changed.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
