    First of all, I would like to thank you all for your continued support of this book. However, due to some reasons, "Xinshun: The Steel Age" ends here. The following is the remaining outline of the book. I hope you will continue to support Chris Webber's new book in the future.  , whether it is on the Chuangshi Chinese website or elsewhere, Weber cannot do without everyone's support.  The remaining outline of the book "Xinshun: The Steel Century" is planned to be divided into the following volumes.  The subsequent story development of "The Wind Rises from the South, Leviathan, Golden Age, Twilight of the Gods, and World War" is as follows: After the outbreak of the Shun-Russian War, the Shun army led by Shi Huaisha severely damaged the Russian Pacific Fleet through a surprise attack and began to besiege Fu  Ladivostok, attempting to destroy the Russian Pacific Fleet in the port.  The rest of the Russian fleet crossed Vladivostok and headed for the Japanese port, which was a neutral country at the time, and were detained by the Japanese.  The siege was intense, and the domestic bourgeoisie, represented by Chen Zaixing and Liu Qingyang, and the British banking group took the opportunity to engage in military supplies and national debt transactions, making huge profits.  Although the Russian army in the Far East tried their best to support them, they were unable to provide sufficient assistance to the defenders of Vladivostok due to their limited strength. Finally, in early 1896, Vladivostok was captured, and the defenders and injured  The Russian warship was captured by Shun, and the first phase of the war ended.  While the war was going on, the Japanese side had been negotiating with the Russian side about the detained Russian Far East Fleet and participation in the war with the backing of the United Kingdom. On the one hand, the Japanese side was actively preparing for the war, and on the other hand, it was bargaining on the price of participating in the war.  Finally, in early 1896, after the fall of Vladivostok, Russia had no choice but to recognize Korea as Japan's sphere of influence and provide a subsidy of 75 million rubles in exchange for Japan's participation in the war.  Immediately, Japan launched a surprise attack on the Shunfang garrison in North Korea under the pretext that Shunfang massacred Japanese nationals during the suppression of the Dongxuedao Uprising. The Shunfang-Russian War entered the second stage, the Three Kingdoms War.  Shunfang had to launch general mobilization and issue special treasury bonds. In order to encourage domestic capitalists to buy bonds, the imperial court announced that it would carry out constitutional reforms after the war, establishing consultative bureaus in each province to discuss government affairs, and establishing a constitutional committee in the center to invite society  The wise men participated in the establishment of the constitution.  As a result, the war ended at the end of 1896. After spending a lot of blood and money, Shun, Russia, and Japan signed the Treaty of Yokohama. Russia lost Vladivostok and its surrounding Far Eastern Maritime Provinces;  The Far Eastern Maritime Province, which gained the Russian side, recognized North Korea as a joint trusteeship between Shun and Japan. This also paved the way for the Far Eastern battlefield of World War I almost twenty years later.  "Leviathan" ends.  "Golden Age" After the Three Kingdoms War, the old Dashun bureaucrats headed by Qi Zhiti and Hu Keqin stepped down, and Shen Hongmao became the new cabinet leader.  Both Chen Zaixing and Liu Qingyang also entered the new Constitutional Committee. They jointly demanded the abolition of the tax-free privileges of the gentry, the abolition of local levies, the promotion of new education, the encouragement of private business enterprises, the establishment of a central bank to issue banknotes, and the granting of political rights based on the amount of taxes paid.  , the two also gained huge capital and prestige in promoting these reforms, and became rare giants in Dashun's government and opposition parties. From 1897 to 1908, Dashun's industrialization process greatly accelerated. By 1908, Dashun  China's steel production, coal production and other indicators have exceeded Japan's five times, becoming the undisputed number one in the Far East.  "Twilight of the Gods" As the conflicts between Britain and Germany, France, Germany, Russia and Austria and other great powers intensify, the conflicts between Shun and Russia, Japan and England in Burma are also becoming increasingly fermented.  In order to curb Dashun's hegemony in Asia and protect its colonies, Britain and Japan formally signed the Anglo-Japanese Alliance in 1908. Its imaginary enemy was Dashun, and Russia also signed a secret treaty with Japan, stipulating that in the event of war, Russia would  The Far East Army and the Pacific Fleet will operate with Japan under the command of a joint general staff.  In order to cope with the pressure of the great powers, Shun Ye finally gradually moved toward an alliance with Germany. In 1912, he signed the Qingdao Treaty with Germany and leased Qingdao Port to the German Navy in exchange for German technical assistance in the navy and army.  , the source of war in the Far East gradually emerged.  Within Dashun, there are also conflicts between the southward movement and the northward movement. These two sides not only represent the contradiction between the army and the navy, but also represent the large number of unemployed farmers in Dashun who are eager for surplus land and the emerging assets who are eager for new raw material production areas and product markets.  Class contradictions.  As the war approaches, the entire Dashun and even the entire world are shrouded in the haze of the destruction of the old world.  In order to attack Russia from the side, Chen Zaixing established certain contacts with the Russian Socialist Revolutionaries through his relationship with Bunge and gave them a large amount of financial support.  "World War" The war broke out, and Dashun joined the Allied camp. There were two main battlefields in the Far East: the Shun Army in the north against the Russian and Japanese troops in the Far East, and the Shun Army and the Burmese Army in the south against the colonial forces of Britain, France, and the Netherlands.  and part of the Japanese army.  In the third year of the war, the October Revolution took place in Russia, which announced its withdrawal from the war. The Russian Socialist Revolutionaries rose to the top of power.Feng, put forward the slogan that all power should belong to the Soviets.  Shunfang took the opportunity to occupy Central Asia, the Far East and North Korea.  However, after the United States entered the war, the Japanese army and the British colonial army withstood the Shun army's final offensive against India.  Due to the long-term blockade and war, Shun finally suffered a total economic and social collapse in 1918. More than 8 million young and middle-aged laborers were lost in the war. There were a large number of deserters in the frontline army. The army no longer obeyed orders. The navy refused to leave the port to fight. The emperor  He had no choice but to announce his abdication. Due to the influence of domestic socialists and Russia's release of returned prisoners of war, a large number of deserters from the Northeast and Central Asian fronts declared an uprising and established the Red Army.  They occupied cities and rural areas, distributed land and property to poor peasants and workers, declared that the workers, peasants and soldiers associations representing the interests of soldiers, workers and peasants were the masters of the country, and demanded an immediate ceasefire, allowing the people to obtain land, peace and food, and abolishing the old  restrictions on property and education, immediately granting universal suffrage and the right to be elected to all adult male citizens, and nationalizing large capital groups that had made huge profits in the war.  Countless Dashun workers who had suffered greatly during the war went on strike and revolted in response to the Red Army.  "The private property system, the foundation of the country and society, is on the verge of destruction." (Chen Zaixing's original words in the book) Faced with all this, the asset tycoons and government heads headed by Chen Zaixing and Liu Qingyang immediately declared an armistice with the Allies in order to give up  On the condition that all the land acquired during the war and control of the colonies in Southeast Asia were obtained, a large number of weapons and surplus materials provided by the Allied Powers and a large number of released prisoners of war were obtained, a new army was formed, and a brutal civil war broke out with the Red Army, and in 1921  Completely annihilating the Red Army and establishing a republic, he himself became a military dictator. For this reason, Chen Zaixing was called "Pi?sudski of the East" and "the greatest orientalist of the early 20th century" by the Western world.  "!  The novel is finished.
