Chapter 69: A Trip to Shanghai

A few years ago, Yan Jiakang arranged for Shan Feng to go to Tianjin, which was called a gift to Yang Shixiang, but in fact, the real purpose was to spy on his physical condition. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Shan Feng did not see Yang Shixiang, and his subordinates refused on the grounds that the adult was not in good health, which confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with his body.

A year later, Yan Jiakang went to Zibo to meet the prefect Song Shiyuan, told him that he was going to Shanghai, and lied about buying steel from the United States. Nowadays, Yuan Shikai has gone to the field to "go to the wheat city", and the Song Dynasty is far more and more important to Ieyasu, so naturally there is no doubt.

At the beginning of March, Yan Jiakang instructed Zhang Qing to take his subordinates to Shanghai by land, and he, Shan Feng and Hu Boyong took a train to Qingdao first, and then took a boat to Shanghai. The train is running on the suburban plains, and in the box, Yan Jiakang is in a good mood, looking out the window at the spring-filled wilderness, full of red light, and his heart is full of ape. Hu Boyong was in a gloomy mood and said: "Master Ge, this time Brother Shan didn't see Lord Yang when he went to Tianjin, which means that there is something wrong with his body, and it will be difficult for this big tree to enjoy the shade in the future." ”

"Mr. Hu, there is no need to worry about the sky. Frankly speaking, if Lord Yang has three longs and two shorts, it may not be bad news for me! "My lord, Yuan Shikai has been relieved of all duties by the regent and returned to his hometown, and now the big tree you rely on is probably going to fail." "Mr. Hu, what you see is a superficial phenomenon. Galeries Lafayette and Guangxu both passed away, and the Manchu Dynasty is bound to enter an eventful season, and the opportunity I am waiting for has come! "How so?" "As an important minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the regent Zaifeng's qualifications and abilities cannot control the government."

"Although Lord Yuan was dismissed, his tiger power is still there. In the past, important officials of the imperial court were dismissed and dismissed, and one of their veins would be purged. But how powerful Yuan Shikai's Beiyang system is, Zaifeng knows very well in his heart. The prefect Song Shiyuan's safe and easy life is the best illustration. At present, the southern provinces are unstable, and the important generals of the Beiyang New Army are Yuan Shikai's descendants. Once there is a wind and grass, the world will inevitably change greatly. ”

"Are you saying that Yuan Shikai is advancing by retreating and waiting to see the changes in the world?" Hu Boyong was confused. "Nowadays, the Xingzhong Society, headed by Sun Wen, has formed a climate. Although he is in Japan to conduct remotely, there is no doubt about his appeal. I can assert that the edifice of the Manchu dynasty was bound to collapse, and what we had done before was not in vain. If Yuan Shikai came out of the mountain again, the Manchu Dynasty would come to an end. "Lord Ge, could it be that you have already made a prediction?" Hu Boyong was taken aback when he heard this.

"Shall I say that you believe it in a prejudgment?" Yan Jiakang teased. "Mr. Hu, I believe in Brother Ge's predictive ability, the first time I met Lord Yang 3 years ago, Brother Ge said that his physical condition was not good. A few years ago, I went to Tianjin to give gifts, and Brother Ge said that if Lord Yang did not show up, it would mean that his condition had worsened, and this year would be his limit. I found Lang Zhong, who treated Lord Yang through special channels, and confirmed that Lord Yang was terminally ill. "Shan Feng tells the truth." So you have reciprocated Yuan Shikai? Hu Boyong was confused.

"Mr. Hu, to tell you the truth, I have integrated into Yuan Shikai's system." "Master Ge, the old man is ashamed, I can't be your master anymore!" "Mr. Hu, this is a bad statement. The contemptible person just has a sober prediction at a strategic height, and my husband's rich life experience and officialdom experience make up for my shortcomings. Take the example of the sea wolf's attack on the Japanese trading company in Yantai, and you can immediately see the bad consequences, which is what I lack. Hu Boyong hugged his fists and said: "The old man asserts that in the future, adults will become a generation of heroes." ”

"Mr. Hu, Brother Shan, I can't hide it, my ambition is to gain more power. The official concluded that the world would be in chaos within two years, and the time limit of the Manchu Dynasty had arrived. "My lord's meaning is that once there is chaos, quickly control Shandong, and use Yuan Shikai to become the overlord of Shandong!" Hu Boyong said the mystery. "That's the purpose!" "But the old man doesn't understand, what does it mean to go to Shanghai this time?" Yan Jiakang stood up and said with a solemn expression: "I dare not forget the country's worries, and the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband." ”

Yan Jiakang continued: "As a descendant of Yan and Huang, I have the responsibility and obligation to sacrifice everything even my life for this calamitous family and country, this suffering nation. Japan is our worst enemy now and in the future. The British, the Americans, the Germans, what they need is the interests in China, and the Japanese need our land, whose ambition is to annex the whole of China. This is the national strategy of the Japanese, and herein lies the terrible part. All the power we have stolen is aimed at dealing with the Japanese. ”

"Mr. Hu mentioned why the layout in Shanghai? To put it bluntly, it was also to deal with the Japanese. At present, Shanghai has shown the prototype of an international city, and will become the most prosperous city in the Far East in the future. The first step is to build an underground force in Shanghai to create conditions for the industrial products produced in our Zhou Village to land in Shanghai. The second step was to limit the economic expansion of the Japanese in Shanghai and use extraordinary means to create problems for the Japanese??????。 ”

"This plan is very good, I approve of it." Hu Boyong clapped his hands. Shan Feng said: "Brother Ge, according to the information we have, at present, the Japanese overseas Chinese have to live in the public concession, which is the former British and American concession. These Japanese are mainly engaged in petty trading and running brothels, and the number of Japanese expatriates is about several thousand. "I'm not an executioner, I'm not going to kill. My aim was to make it impossible for the Japanese to gain a foothold in Shanghai and force them to get out. ”

Hu Boyong said with a smile: "There are many ways to make it impossible for Japanese expatriates to gain a foothold in Shanghai, such as not buying Japanese goods, not doing business with Japanese, making it impossible for Japanese people to make money, and so on. Yan Jiakang smiled: "This is the purpose of my decision to join the Shanghai Youth Gang, and it is most suitable for the gang organization to do this kind of work." "Brother Ge, you proposed to look for a character in the Shanghai Youth Gang, our people are secretly screening in Shanghai, and this character is not easy to find." "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get to Shanghai."

In fact, Yan Jiakang has already had a candidate in his heart, but he can't say it. If Du Yuesheng's name is said at this time, it is too unbelievable to justify itself. "Mr. Hu, you are familiar with the Shanghai Youth Gang, give Brother Shan a detailed introduction?" Hu Boyong stroked his beard and said, "The Green Gang first appeared in Caoyun??????。 When the train arrived in Qingdao, Qiu Ying's uncle Zhao Renjing went to the station to pick him up, and then took the group to the restaurant. Zhao Renjing's restaurant has been renovated and has become more magnificent.

"Niece and son-in-law, thanks to you, my days are getting more and more prosperous. I heard that my unsuccessful son quit smoking and is now a squad leader in the gold mine guards. Zhao Renjing showed his servile appearance respectfully, and now Yan Jiakang is no longer what it used to be, and Zhao Renjing is extremely restrained. The group was introduced into the restaurant and settled down. The next day, the three of them came to a high point in the city, and the scenery of the city was unobstructed. "I haven't seen Qingdao for a few years, Qingdao has become more prosperous, I remember that it was an open space, and many factories were also appearing!"

"Those factories are all run by Germans, it's awkward to think about it!" Singlet is dismissive. "What's awkward, the more the Germans invest, the better, they bring money, technology, advanced industrial equipment. Not only that, but I also want to help the Germans build more factories in Zhoucun and Jinan. The shame is temporary, and one day the Germans will be in our pockets, as you will see. "I take your word for it!" "If the old man sees that day in his lifetime, he will be blind to death!"

"Brother Ge, look, that barracks is the Chinese team formed by the Germans, and the current number is 300 people. The 30 people trained by Wang Kun and Qiu Ying successfully entered the Chinese team in December last year, and one of them was named Xue Jian, who had already served as the deputy captain of the brigade by virtue of his outstanding military qualities, and our infiltration plan was a great success. "So the commander of the Chinese team is a German?" "Yes!" Yan Jiakang took out his monoculars and looked at the barracks, only to see the Chinese team on the playground wearing German military uniforms and practicing.

"Brother Ge, have you met this person named Xue Jian?" "There's no need to meet, but you have to keep in close contact with him and keep track of what they're doing." "Master Ge, the old man is confused, why do you want to deal with the Germans?" "I said to plan ahead and scatter a few idle chess pieces to use when you need them urgently." "Mr. Hu, Brother Ge's scheming is not something you and I can guess, let's just do it." The group went down the hill and wandered through the street until dark before returning to the restaurant.

The next day, the three boarded a passenger and cargo ship bound for Qingdao at the wharf. The boat exited Jiaozhou Bay and headed south along the winding coastline, a white navigation trajectory forming a long tail. At dawn the next day, the boat entered the Wusongkou River and dissolved with the seawater, forming a clear dividing line. Ships entered the Huangpu River, and the number of cargo ships increased significantly. Standing on the deck, sweeping the scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River, Pudong and Puxi seem to form two very different worlds.

"I haven't been to Shanghai for many years, and I didn't expect that Shanghai would be more prosperous and there would be more houses." Hu Boyong was moved. "Mr. Hu, I haven't been home for many years, let's go home and have a look!" "The things of adults are big things, and the things of old men are small things, I don't dare to make a mistake." "Mr. Hu, ruthlessness may not be a true hero, I stayed in Shanghai for a month, some things are in a hurry, I order you to go back and see!" "Alright! It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, the old man depends on you. ”
