In the Fengtian Governor's Mansion, Zhang Xiluan walked back and forth with the Fengtian Daily in his hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The INFO newspaper revealed the truth about the collusion between the Seiwa Company and the Japanese, and the facts were clear, with a photo of the Japanese businessman Shiki Ichiro, who controlled the Seikawa Company behind the scenes. This move was like a stick, which made Zhang Xiluan confused.

If this matter is known to the above, the result can be imagined. The crime of fornicating with the Japanese is small, but the crime of labeling oneself as a traitor is a big one. Less than half a year after accepting the appointment of the imperial court as the governor of Fengtian and concurrently serving as the minister of frontier affairs, he was in such trouble. At present, the Manchurian and Mongolian traitors are trying to implement independence under the instigation of the Japanese, and it is imperative to crack down on the Manchu and Mongolian traitors.

In such a situation, such a thing happened to Qinghe Company. He knew in his heart that although the Qinghe Company was a government-run company in the former dynasty, the purpose of which was to cooperate with the Japanese in the development of Northeast China, but after the Manchu Qing Dynasty stepped down, the name of the Qinghe Company's official office continued. If the Seiwa Company is really controlled by the Japanese, it will be responsible for its negligence. At this time, Zhang Xiluan was holding a newspaper in his hand like a hot yam, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"My lord, my subordinates suggest that the general office of Qinghe Company be arrested immediately, this move can clear up the relationship between the adults and the Qinghe Company, even if there is a problem with the Qinghe Company, it is not the responsibility of the adults." A subordinate contributes to the plan. Zhang Xiluan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "When the interruption continues, there will be trouble, you go and arrange it immediately." Shortly after his subordinates left, the head of the Mukden Police Department entered in embarrassment, "Report to your lordship, the Qinghe company was smashed by angry people. Upon receiving the report, the police were immediately dispatched, and hundreds of people have been arrested. ”

"Nonsense, release everyone immediately, and go and arrest all the people in Qinghe Company for me." The police chief thought he had misheard, and for a moment he was a little flustered. "Didn't you understand, I asked you to arrest the people of Qinghe Company!" "Subordinates obey orders." "Report to your lord, Shandong Overseer Ge Yunfei and Sheng Xuanhuai, the former Minister of Commerce, ask to see you!" A subordinate hurriedly came in to report. "Please, General Ge, Mr. Sheng." Zhang Xiluan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately ordered to pick up the guests.

After greeting the guests and taking their seats, Zhang Xiluan was puzzled: "General Ge and Mr. Sheng, the two of them were deeply surprised to come, and they didn't say a word in advance, which caught the old man off guard!" "Lord Zhang, the lower officials will come to visit as soon as they arrive in Mukden. The absence of prior notice is mainly for confidentiality reasons. "Master Zhang, there is no official in the subordinate, and now he is a grass people. This time he followed General Ge to come in secret, so he didn't dare to swagger into the market, and I hope that the adults will forgive me. Sheng Xuanhuai agreed.

Zhang Xiluan was silent and puzzled, Ge Yunfei went straight to the point and said: "Lord Zhang, at the beginning of the Republic of China, all kinds of waste were waiting to be revived, and we came to revitalize the national industry. If the Republic of China wants to rise, it must vigorously develop industries and enhance the strength of the country, which is also the national policy of Lord Yuan and the national government. At present, rich iron ore resources have been discovered in Anshan, Mr. Sheng is worried about the country and the people, so he sold all the shares of Hanyeping Iron Company and decided to invest in Anshan to run a modern iron and steel company. ”

A modern steel company, Zhang Xiluan is not surprised by Ge Yunfei's new term. During his stay in Beijing a few months ago, as a member of the Beiyang faction, he often visited Yuan's mansion and heard words praising Ge Yunfei several times in Yuan Shikai's mouth. Yuan Shikai was high-spirited and rarely praised his subordinates, but he looked at Ge Yunfei differently. Yuan Shikai not only let Ge Yunfei live in the mansion, but also handed over the beauty difference of minting new coins to Ge Yunfei (he didn't know the reason), what the relationship was self-evident.

Yuan Shikai's importance to Ge Yunfei far exceeds Yuan's bottom line in dealing with people, which shows how important Ge Yunfei is in Yuan's mind. Even if Ge Yunfei caused Yuan a lot of trouble during his stay in Beijing, he was also loyal and commendable. This time, Ge Yunfei accompanied Sheng Huaixuan to Fengtian suddenly to run Anshan Iron and Steel Company. There was no warning beforehand, could it be that Lord Yuan was aware of the intentions of the Japanese? Seeing Ge Yunfei's calm and calm face, Zhang Xiluan had a conclusion in his heart.

"General Ge, Mr. Sheng, Qinghe Company cooperated with the Japanese, and was preparing to handle the Anshan Iron Ore Mine, by chance, the scandal of Qinghe Company was exposed, and the official is severely punishing Qinghe Company for communicating with foreign countries, and the previous agreement between Qinghe Company and the Japanese was nullified. It is the obligation of the official to support the national industry, and the official can issue an announcement to requisition the land, but how to let the local people smoothly transfer the land, the official cannot use the force, and Mr. Sheng needs to come forward to negotiate to avoid causing public resentment. ”

Before Sheng Xuanhuai could speak, Ge Yunfei said: "Lord Zhang, please rest assured, as long as the government has a clear announcement, we will follow the wishes of the local people and buy it at the most reasonable price, and it will never cause a civil uprising." "General Ge, that's all the old man can do. Recently, the Mongol princes of Hulunbuir and the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, secretly instigated by the Japanese, attempted to become independent. President Yuan ordered a resolute crackdown, and it was difficult to distract his energy from his official duties, and he hoped that General Ge and Mr. Sheng would understand. ”

Ge Yunfei understood that this was a pretext, and Zhang Xiluan didn't want to offend the Japanese. "Master Zhang, it is an unshirkable responsibility to safeguard national unity and territorial integrity. If adults need to be contributed, there is no ambiguity. "General Ge's good intentions, this official understands it. There is no need to deal with a few small thieves, and the official is at ease. General Ge and Mr. Sheng are guests, and the old man should do his best to be a landlord, come to people, and place wine and food. ”

Ge Yunfei and Sheng Xuanhuai came out of the Overseer's Mansion and went straight to Zhang's Mansion to continue their discussions. Sheng Xuanhuai said depressedly: "Things are not as simple as we imagined, the local people in Anshan already know the value of iron ore, I'm afraid it will not be easy to do." Zhang Zuolin said: "If there is no Japanese participation, I will have no problem with Zhang Pingping, but ???! "It's difficult for the eldest brother to understand that the younger brother can only outwit this matter, not use it."

"Most of the iron ore storage areas are mountainous and not farmland, and the owners of the mountain land are landlords and squires, which is easy to do. It is nothing more than a relief of interests, since it is difficult to buy, we will pull them in, I will take out 3 percent of the shares for them to replace the land, there is no more attractive than the shares. "General Ge, how can this be done, or I will sell Yicheng shares." "Mr. Sheng, don't fight, it's so decided that there will be many dreams at night."

Ge Yunfei said to Zhang Zuolin: "Exchanging shares for land requires the eldest brother to operate secretly!" "Haha, those landlords can become shareholders, and it's not beautiful to have snot bubbles, this matter is on me." Everyone was overjoyed, and because Sheng Xuanhuai was old and frail and unable to drink, he refused Zhang Zuolin's hospitality and said goodbye and went back to the hotel to rest. At this time, Zhang Zuolin was still unsatisfied, and began to discuss the Songnen Oilfield again, and he was still in high spirits.

At this time, in the Japanese Consulate in Mukden, the Japanese consul Jiro Sato, the head of the Mantetsu Sumito Mukden Branch, Masao Higashino, and the intelligence officer of the Kanto Prefecture Kobayashi Kazunobu (headquartered in Lushun, the governor is Oshima Yoshimasa), are urgently discussing. Higashino Masao said: "Shimu, this bastard has failed, the general office of Qinghe Company, including the main employees, have been arrested, and our previous efforts have been in vain." ”

Consul Jiro Sato was dissatisfied: "The empire is operating and Mongolia is independent, aren't you looking for trouble." Zhang Xiluan, the governor of Fengtian, objected to me, and I prevaricated with Shimu's personal behavior, did this guy leave Mukden? "I have already ordered Shi Mu to leave Mukden and not allow him to come back for a short time." Intelligence officer Kazushin Kobayashi continued: "In the past few years, we have been cutting down forests on the right bank of the Yalu River, and our logging teams and companies have been frequently attacked by terrorists. ”

"So much so that our timber company was forced to move to the left bank for logging. Not long ago, the exploration personnel of the Manchurian Railway were suddenly robbed by bandits, and I felt very strange, as if an invisible hand reached out to us and deliberately caused trouble. What do you know is that the weapon used by the attackers on the right bank of the Yalu River is actually an advanced German-made 98K rifle, which shows that the enemy is acting in a planned and organized manner. Later, we sent people to investigate secretly, but there was no progress. ”

"When the new government comes to power, these anti-Japanese organizations will become even more rampant, and you must be on high guard and not let up. At present, the independence of Manchuria-Mongolia is the top priority, and the steel company in Anshan should slowly try to do so. Consul Jiro Sato reminded from a high house. Higashino Masao sneered: "The government of China also realized the importance of Anshan, and sent Sheng Huaixuan, a tycoon of China, to set up a factory here. Since we can't get it, we can't let them set up factories smoothly! ”

"Higashino-kun, you can secretly cause trouble, but you can't let the people of Shina seize the handle. At present, the Americans are trying to infiltrate the northeast and are currently vying for the management power of the Manchurian Railway. Since the people of China want to build a steel plant, let them build it, and if it becomes independent in the future, everything will be ours. Jiro Sato had a sinister smile on his face. Sato-kun is right, and the next step is to set our sights on the anti-Japanese elements?????。 ”

That night, Ge Yunfei said to Nian Qicheng: "We must divert the attention of the Japanese, you have an operation, and the goal is ??????。 After Ge Yunfei finished arranging the task, he took out a box and opened it, and a cylindrical paper object appeared in it and continued: "This is our newly developed tear gas, which will not hurt people after exploding, but it can make people lose the ability to resist, do you know how to use it?" "Understood, I'll go to Gaizhou right away!"
