Are you really going to go to war with Portugal in Australia? Chen Wenqiang is not very sure, but he must be prepared......≦...≦

In Guangdong, Yuan Shuxun is weaker than Zhang Renjun, but the court's orders are followed. He is afraid of foreigners and is even more afraid of affecting his future. Li Zhun is also lacking in blood and dares not act rashly under autocracy. Wu Luzhen leads troops at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi, and is unlikely to draw troops back to Guangdong.

In this way, only Chen Wenqiang's armed police were able to fight against Portugal, Australia. This could only deal with the battle on land. If the navy needed cooperation, if he was not in the field, Li Zhun would not listen to his dispatch.

If Australia and Portugal really want to expand with force, then Chen Wenqiang can only fight back. Although he comforted Zhang Zhidong and promised not to act rashly, in fact, Chen Wenqiang had sent a telegram ordering the armed police in Guangdong to gather secretly.

Portugal, a small third-rate country in Europe, is thousands of miles apart. How many troops can it send for expeditions? Just because of the two or three warships in Macau that cannot be called strong and powerful, the less than a thousand garrisons in Macau, if they really fight, they will definitely not be the opponent of the Qing Dynasty. But in history, Macau and Portugal, with such a little force, created two major events: Luhuania and Junhai negotiations.

To resist foreign aggression, the Qing Dynasty was too weak and incompetent. After a long period of observation and the "Echen Wan" incident, Chen Wenqiang had completely lost confidence in the so-called court.

To go to war with Portugal alone, Chen Wenqiang was certainly not reckless, but relied on and planned. The biggest advantage was that he was a revolutionary party, and he secretly communicated with the Southwest Revolutionary Army, so that he could mobilize Wu Luzhen's men without worrying about the revolutionary army taking the opportunity to attack.

Of course, no one knows Chen Wenqiang's overall plan, nor does he understand how beneficial it will be for Chen Wenqiang to fight a war with Macau and Portugal.

A strong person is not only full of official positions, but also not only his economic strength and fame, but also his courage and courage to fight. Only in this way can he get the admiration of the United States, Germany, or more powerful powers, and get the stronger support of the United States and God.

Chen Wenqiang is very different from another great figure who once had a high position and powerful figure: Yuan Shikai's official position is higher than Chen Wenqiang and has greater power, but under the autocratic system, he is still a humble minister who can be abandoned or even executed at any time in the Qing Dynasty. Chen Wenqiang is far away from the center of the court, has his own retreat in Qiongzhou, and has an important strength in Guangdong. How easy is the Qing court to deal with him?

In other words, Chen Wenqiang and Wu Luzhen were threatened by the Southwest Revolutionary Army, a local powerful faction that the Qing court dared not easily touch. Yuan Shikai could advance openly and descend secretly and be transferred to the center; Zhang Zhidong could also use the same means to take down his governor of Huguang; Chen Wenqiang could be summoned but not accepted the order but did not obey it, and the Qing court could do nothing.

In fact, Chen Wenqiang had another bargaining chip to threaten the Qing court, which should be a test-and-era. But he didn't want to use it now. It was very simple. As long as he showed his dissatisfaction and expressed his intention to switch to the revolutionary party, the Qing court could only appease and stabilize the war in the southwest.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Zhidong, Chen Wenqiang immediately took the train to go south. He stopped in Changsha, Xiangtan, Hengyang and Chenzhou, Hunan, inspected and arranged various matters of the industry and the security forces. Then he entered Guangdong by water, took the bus from Shaoguan and returned to Guangzhou in a dusty manner.

…………………

Under Japan's "protest", the Qing Dynasty's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, together with Guangdong Governor Yuan Shuxun, strictly prohibited Guangdong merchants from boycotting Japanese goods. The Japanese Consul in Guangzhou also sent a note to the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, allowing the revocation of the compensation request for the "Echenmaru" case.

However, the Aggression Movement did not end due to official opposition, and even the scope was still expanding. The people's sentiment was still infuriating.

At that time, the movement to arriving in Japan was becoming more and more extensive and deepened, and it was no longer limited to Guangdong. However, the Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guangdong-Guang

Chen Wenqiang returned to Guangzhou and met with Governor Yuan Shuxun. He did not agree with his position, but did not say excessive words. He responded ambiguously and said goodbye. In the following days, he was in Huangpu, and while continuing to secretly support the arrival and arrival movement in Japan, he began to make arrangements for Macau and Portugal.

Although he was mentally prepared to fight, military was not the only means. Chen Wenqiang and the think tank formulated a plan to control Macau with "military and commercial".

In the military, Chen Wenqiang took over the Wanchai Fortress in Beishanling with armed police and strengthened it, making the two places support each other, and at the same time, additional troops were stationed at each pass; in the commercial aspect, Chen Wenqiang encouraged and supported Chinese businessmen to strengthen the construction of Xiangzhou Port with the official position of Quanye Road, and opened shopping malls in Wanchai, mobilizing Macau merchants to move to other places to open businesses in order to resist Macau business.

Xiangzhou is located on the coast of the South China Sea, on the west bank of the Pearl River Estuary, connected to Hong Kong in the east and Macau in the south. It is backed by the economically developed hinterland of the Pearl River Delta, and has a very advantageous geographical location.

What is even more attractive is the preferential policies announced by Chen Wenqiang, such as exemption from official tax for three years; the goods produced in Xiangzhou are reduced and exempted from lijin in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan; investment in infrastructure construction (building houses, power supply, water supply, access, communication, pollutant discharge, flood discharge, and leveling land) that reach a certain amount can be directly selected as the "Xiangzhou" Management Committee. In addition to maintaining public security and combating crimes, all daily affairs in Xiangzhou are handed over to the management committee for management, and the government will not interfere...

In short, Xiangzhou is similar to the special economic zones in later generations, and is more relaxed than the city autonomy in Shanghai at that time. Chen Wenqiang introduced various preferential policies at this time, one to curb Macau-Portugal business, and the second to welcome the invited Chinese business wealthy people from the two major Chinese business associations in the United States.

Foreign capital and overseas Chinese capital are the focus of Chen Wenqiang's investment promotion. Foreign capital is mainly based on moral capital because Chen Wenqiang has an unspeakable purpose; overseas Chinese capital is more safe and reliable for Chen Wenqiang.

From Southeast Asia to America, these two overseas regions with the largest number of overseas Chinese have been established. They can establish Chinese Business Associations and be invited by Chen Wenqiang to return to China for inspection and investment. It is not just the influence of Chen Wenqiang. The branches of the Revival Association in various regions have also received orders from the headquarters to call on overseas businessmen to return to China to participate in construction, and have done a lot of work for this.
