Chapter 118: The Heavenly City

The train was speeding along the Jingfeng Railway, and Ge Yunfei saw Sheng Huaixuan shaking his fan constantly in the private room, so he opened the window a crack, and a cool air rushed in. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info"General Ge, beware of the cold. "Mr. Sheng, I am young and strong, there is no problem." "This year's Futian is particularly hot, and the old man is a little unbearable. This time I went to Mukden, the general looked calm and seemed to be confident, so confident that I was reassured. However, the old man was still worried about Zhang Zuolin, and said that he was a live bandit. ā€

"Mr. Sheng, my understanding of Zhang Zuolin is like a stream in the bottom, you might as well let me show off one or two. Zhang Zuolin was born in ??????怂 Ge Yunfei gave a detailed introduction to Zhang Zuolin's development trajectory and finally said: "Don't look at Zhang Zuolin as a grasshopper, but this person has extraordinary vision and is good at strategy. Last year, he made meritorious contributions, supported Yuan Shikai, and then obtained military power in Fengtian. In the capital, this person performed well, eliminated Yuan Shikai's suspicion of him, and preserved his career. ā€

"General Ge, the old man heard that Zhang Zuolin is very close to the Japanese?" This was his wise side to consolidate his power. As far as I know, Zhang Zuolin is using the Japanese, and he may not really take refuge in the Japanese. In fact, the steel mill is still nowhere to be seen, and Yicheng shares may not let him help, so I prepared another meeting gift. "Greeting gift?" I'm going to give him 5 heavy machine guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition. I reckon the guns and bullets have already reached Mukden. In fact, Ge Yunfei still has a big gift, he will let Zhang Zuolin obey, but he can't tell Sheng Xuanhuai.

Sheng Huaixuan pinched his fingers and said in surprise: "General Ge, when the old man didn't come to Jinan, you started to operate, so you had long expected that the cooperation between us would be successful?" "Mr. Sheng, if there is no cooperation between you and me, I will also visit Zhang Zuolin. Northeast China is rich in products is a treasure land, and my cooperation with Zhang Zuolin in the future is intended for mutual benefit. This time, I am not very sure that I can successfully cooperate with Mr. Sheng. To tell the truth, if Mr. Sheng refuses to cooperate, I will also lobby Zhang Zuolin to co-establish Fengtian Iron and Steel Company. ā€

"General Ge, the old man doesn't understand, the general is so powerful, why did he give me this great benefit?" "To tell you the truth, for the operation of a steel company, the official is a doorman, and there are no professionals under his command. Mr. is different, not only is he experienced and familiar with how to run a steel company, but the key is that he has a large number of talents. What is the most important, talent is the most important, this is the key point of running a business. "General Ge, no wonder the dog adores you, a rare young talent."

Sheng Xuan said with feelings: "In just a few days of contact, the old man felt a lot of emotion. In the general, I saw a sense of righteousness and vigor, and the old man seemed to be young because of his infection. Although the old man is in his twilight years, his ambition to save the country through industry has not changed at all. The dog's evaluation of you convinces the old man, so then work hard for him for a few more years. "Mr. Sheng, the ancients, the old man is a long time, and his ambitions are thousands of miles, I firmly believe that Mr. Sheng will be able to make his wishes come true."

It was nearly dusk when the train arrived in Mukden City, but the heat wave was still rolling in. Ge Yunfei and Sheng Xuanhuai, including two guards, found a hotel near the station to stay. Due to the fatigue of the journey, he rested early, did not speak all night, and the next morning, after breakfast, a man in a strong suit came to visit. Ge Yunfei and the man in the suit were alone for a while, and then let the two guards get acquainted with the man in the suit. The man in the suit and the two guards muttered for a while before taking their leave.

According to the plan, he went to visit Zhang Zuolin first, and the guards called two rickshaws, and the two got into the rickshaws and went straight to Zhang's mansion. The scene on the street is refreshing, the establishment of the Republic of China has brought free space for the people, and now the number of immigrants and merchants who have migrated to Kanto is increasing, and Mukden City has begun to be lively. The streets are bustling, and the accent is southern and northern, highlighting the characteristics of the foreign population. Ge Yunfei looked at the lively scene on the street and thought to himself: if the Anshan Iron and Steel Company is completed in the future, it can play a role in promoting the process of industrialization in Northeast China.

In this way, it will attract immigrants and talents to the hot land of the Northeast. The key is that the rapid formation of an industrialization pattern in the northeast will make the national government pay more attention to the northeast, which is very conducive to consolidating the frontier. Meeting Zhang Zuolin this time, to let him really understand how important it is to this treasure land of feng shui in the Northeast, Ge Yunfei really got Zhang Zuolin's killer feature, which is to use cooperation to develop the Songnen Plain oilfield. In the future, Zhang Zuolin will have a cash cow, and he will take more care of his "territory" and strengthen his determination to resist the Japanese. Ge Yunfei's second step strategy is to use Zhang Zuolin to open the curtain of confrontation with Japan in the Northeast in advance.

It is conceivable that if the Japanese could not take advantage of Shandong, in view of the great temptation of the Angang and Songnen oil fields, the Japanese would turn around and aim at the northeast. Zhang Zuolin has huge interests, and he is bound to fight to the death with the Japanese, which is the result that Ge Yunfei wants most. In addition, his ability to effectively resist the Japanese army in Shandong will also give Zhang Zuolin great confidence. Ge Yunfei thought that if it was wrong, the rickshaw stopped in front of Zhang's house. Ge Yunfei got out of the car with Sheng Xuanhuai in a cloth suit, and the guards stepped forward to negotiate at the gate.

The gate guard was shocked to hear the identity of the visitor, and did not dare to slack off and hurriedly reported it, and soon the captain of the guard hurriedly came out to greet him. At present, Zhang Zuolin was appointed by Yuan Shikai as the Minister of Military Training outside the Guanwai and concurrently served as the commander of the 27th Division, and his strength has not yet swelled to the point of lawlessness. Shocked to hear that Shandong overseers Ge Yunfei and Sheng Xuanhuai had visited, they hurriedly came out to meet the guests. "General Zhang, the capital has been absent for more than half a year, and my brother has come to visit this time, please bear with me!" "Haha, General Ge is hypocritical. You are a distinguished guest, I can't invite Lao Zhang if you want to! ā€

"General Zhang, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Sheng Xuanhuai!" Zhang Zuolin's eyes widened in surprise and said, "It turned out to be Master Shan, see you below!" "General Zhang, he is now a grass man, and he doesn't dare to condescend to the honorific title." "Sheng Daren is famous all over the world, even if he no longer holds important positions, he is also noble in the eyes of the lower officials. It is an honor for the grand people to come to the humble house. Haha, today I Lao Zhang can be described as auspicious! General Ge, Master Shan, please come in! ā€

Before the guests were seated, Zhang Zuolin shouted loudly to invite the guests. Intuitively, Zhang Zuolin is bold and has no city government. If it weren't for Zhang Zuolin's "glorious achievements", this situation would really be fooled by him. Not long after the guests and hosts sat down to greet each other, the captain of the Zhang Mansion Guard hurriedly came in to report: "Zhang Dashuai, there is a carriage outside, and the things pulled on the carriage say that it is a gift from General Ge to Dashuai!" "General Ge, this is too polite, bring the gift in."

After a while, more than a dozen large wooden boxes were carried in, and the boxes felt very heavy when they landed. Zhang Zuolin glanced at Ge Yunfei, and when he saw that the other party nodded, he ordered the guards to open the box. When he was dazzled, the box revealed five Maxim heavy machine guns and glittering bullets. "General Zhang, 5 heavy machine guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition, a small gift is not a tribute!" Ge Yunfei understated. "General Ge, how is it good to be so polite to me, I guess General Ge has something to ask for, please speak up. As long as I can do it, I will help you. ā€

Zhang Zuolin reacted very quickly, and Ge Yunfei gave such a heavy gift for no reason, which was by no means a whim. Ge Yunfei knew in his heart that Manchurian Iron successfully obtained the right to mine Anshan iron ore because of Zhang Zuolin's help. Originally, Manchurian Railway operated the government through the Qinghe Company controlled by Manchurian Railway, and obtained the prospecting power of Anshan. Things seemed to be going well, but the Japanese did not expect that the Manchu Qing would suddenly fall and the Republic of China would be established. The Japanese had to find a new successor in vain.

At present, Zhang Zuolin is just a small division commander, but the shrewd Japanese began to pay attention to him, not long ago the Japanese-controlled Qinghe Company has sent people to contact Zhang Zuolin, because Zhang Zuolin has limited power, he only verbally promised to help, but Ge Yunfei did not know about these circumstances. "General Zhang is quick to talk, and he is not hypocritical. The Republic of China has emerged and Vientiane has been renewed. Mr. Sheng came to Mukden this time and was going to open a steel plant in Anshan, so please ask General Zhang to help? ā€

Zhang Zuolin was stunned when he heard this: "Master Shan's move is commendable, but Xiaguan is just a martial artist, I'm afraid it will be difficult to play a role." The slight change in Zhang Zuolin's face was captured by Ge Yunfei and thought, about the Anshan iron mine, it is certain that the Japanese have been in contact with Zhang Zuolin. Zhang said this obviously out of interest: "General Zhang is now the Dinghai Divine Needle in Fengtian, and his future is immeasurable. The grand body sympathized with the general's hardships, and planned to decide that the steel plant would be completed in the future and given to the general a share! ā€

"The good intentions of the grand lord are under the order, but such matters must be decided by the governor Zhang Xiluan!" Zhang Zuolin played haha and pushed the ball back, obviously Yicheng shares couldn't get into his eyes at all. There is no doubt that the benefits promised by the Japanese are much higher than those of Ichisei shares. But Zhang Zuolin is telling the truth, and his ability is indeed not able to do it at the moment. The Japanese are long-term investments, but the successful acquisition of mining rights by Japan's Manchurian Railway comes precisely from Zhang Zuolin's planning. Zhang Zuolin is scheming and good at planning, and he has a proposition in such a short time, obviously he is waiting for the price to sell.

Ge Yunfei knew that it was not a big problem to deal with Zhang Xiluan, and he must have had a relationship with Yuan Shikai that was enough for Zhang Xiluan to help. But Zhang Zuolin is a local snake, without his participation, there will be big trouble in the future, and it seems that he can only use a killer weapon to get him. Since Zhang Zuolin said this, Ge Yunfei couldn't say anything, especially in front of Sheng Xuanhuai. Zhang Zuolin would not let the scene be embarrassed, and ordered the wine and food to be served to the guests to wash the dust.

In the afternoon, after Ge Yunfei and Sheng Xuanhuai said goodbye, Zhang Zuolin instructed his subordinates to immediately tell the news to the Manchurian Japanese. Zhang Zuolin knew in his heart that Sheng Xuanhuai personally went out, obviously Anshan Iron Mine will inevitably form the focus of contention, don't think I'm so foolish, at this time, I won't be able to fish for profit, and I must not let go of the opportunity.
