Chapter 229: The villain gets in the way
(5th Update)
The two are brothers-in-law, but they have not met, and they can't say how familiar they are, Zhang Yunliang likes to read and study, and in 1906 he was admitted to the Beijing Normal Translation School, and graduated with first-class grades last year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe so-called degree branch is the household department, that is, the famous Ministry of Finance, so the degree branch is a real oil and water department, and Zhang Yunliang has been in the replenishment stage - there is no vacancy at all. So Zhang Renjun transferred Zhang Yunliang to his side to help him deal with financial problems.
Since Zhang Yunliang had studied at the Beijing Normal School of Translation and was well versed in foreign knowledge, Wang Yongan talked to him about foreign literature and art, Zhang Yunliang was very familiar with foreign literature, but he preferred Chinese culture. Zhang Yunliang compared foreign literature with the Four Books and Five Classics, and then devalued foreign literature to worthless, which made Wang Yongan stunned.
After the two chatted abroad for a while, Zhang Yunliang said: "When I was making up for the branch, I learned that you actually made a lot of money when the rubber stock market crashed, but others don't know how much money you made." How could you have predicted a rubber crash? I've heard that you've been predicting in the newspapers that rubber stocks are going to crash, and you've had a big fight with you, and you've been criticized by scholars from all over the world. But in the end, you win them, but it's just a loss...... Alas......"
Wang Yongan sneered: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, rubber is not so valuable, Chinese people do not understand the relationship between market supply and demand, and always love to rob everything, which causes the price of rubber to be speculated into sky-high prices." European and American automobile wheels need rubber, but how many Chinese know the annual output of European and American automobiles, and how many people know the world's rubber production? No one knew, they were just looting. ”
Zhang Yun nodded his head, and said with a smile: "Now your bank is running well, there are more than 100 in the Liangjiang boundary, and there are six in Nanjing, which is extremely convenient." ”
Wang Yongan smiled at this time: "It's all Mr. Yu who is presiding, I'm just an idler." ”
Zhang Yunliang said: "The tree is a big wind, Jingyun, remember to remember." ”
Wang Yonganqi said: "Listening to what Brother Yu Lou said, it seems to mean something, can you make it clearer?" ”
Zhang Yunliang smiled bitterly: "You have formed a twenty-four association to dominate Jiangbei, and you occupy the world's salt tax Yangzhou, you know how many people are red-eyed." They don't say it, but they are resentful in their hearts, and they can't help you. ”
Wang Yongan sneered: "Who am I afraid of." ”
Zhang Yunliang said: "Open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, Brother Jingyun Xian should be careful." ”
Wang Yongan looked at him with a smile and said, "But someone wants to attack me at this anti-bandit meeting?" Everyone knows that my Wang brothers are not in the same place with Sun Bandit and others, and they dare to criticize me? ”
Zhang Yunliang sighed: "It's not because of this reason, firstly, Wang Yongtai killed too many people, and last year's corpse blocked the Huai River, and secondly, this year, your ministry went around suppressing bandits and became someone else's wealth." ”
Wang Yongan laughed and said, "Could it be that some bandits still have something to do with the local wealth? ”
Zhang Yunliang said: "Black, black, white and white, who can tell the difference, some people are really helpers of local big families, I didn't expect to be cut and killed by you regardless of who you are." Someone has impeached your ministry in the imperial court for killing innocents, I'm afraid this time ......"
"Thank you Brother Yu Lou for reminding me, I must be careful." Wang Yongan said with a smile.
After dinner, Wang Yongan and the others returned to the inn and learned that more than 100 soldiers of the guard battalion accompanied by Chen Zhaotang, a clerk from the Liangjiang Governor's Palace, had been arranged to rest in the new army camp in Nanjing, and now there were only ten henchmen left. Wang Yongan said that he understood that there were indeed a lot of people in this group with him, all of them were strong and unruly, but fortunately, with Shao Yongqin in command, the soldiers were still honest and quiet in the barracks of the new army.
Nanjing's new army is also part of the reorganization plan of the Beiyang New Army, and its name is the ninth town of the Beiyang New Army, but there are only 45 and 46 people, and the rest of the artillery and heavy cavalry are not equipped, and they are pure infantry, and the new army in the whole town is only 12 Makqin heavy machine guns. Originally, the Qing court planned to build a new army in 36 towns across the country like the new army of the six towns of Beiyang, but in the process of reorganization, the court found that the cost of the new army was too high, so it had no choice but to suspend the construction. In addition, the rise of the 24th Mixed Association in Jiangbei also more or less made the imperial court bias the money originally allocated to the construction of the Jiangsu Army to them, and also caused dissatisfaction in the Ninth Town, and the 45th Association Commander She Shoucheng said to Xu Shaozhen, the commander of the Ninth Town, and Liu Zhijie: "The people and horses of Jiangbei are all from our gold and silver, and now the meeting has sent a yellow-haired boy to come, and he looks down on Zhang Dudu on the surface, but actually looks down on my Jiangnan army. ”
This Xu Shaozhen is a native of Guangdong Province, deeply influenced by Sun Yat-sen, on the surface he is respectful and cautious to the imperial court, but in his heart he is extremely dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, is very strict against him, and many people in the army do not support the revolutionary party, so he has to endure it. Xu Shaozhen has long been dissatisfied with Wang Yongtai's brothers, and now it happened that Wang Yongan came to Nanjing for a meeting, and he intended to make Wang Yongan suffer some hardships, so he asked She Shoucheng to find that Zhang Xun and clamor Zhang Xun to attack Wang Yongan.
Zhang Xun is Zhang Renjun's confidant, and he has deep experience in the army, and no one in the entire Jiangsu Province has Zhang Xun who has fought in the army for a long time and has many qualifications, so all the officers call Zhang Xun the big brother. However, the twenty-four mixed association Wang Yongtai (due to illness) did not come to Nanjing to meet Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, let alone give gifts to the eldest brother Zhang Xun, which really made the eldest brother Zhang Xun resentful - you don't respect brother, brother is very angry, and the consequences are very serious.
That She Shoucheng slightly provoked Wang Yongtai and the two brothers to snub the governor of Liangjiang, Zhang Renjun Zhang, as Zhang Renjun's loyal servant, Zhang Xun suddenly became angry, and immediately shouted: "And wait for me to attack him tomorrow, little baby, dare to snub the old man so much." Can you support me? ”
She Shoucheng immediately said: "I am the only one in the ninth town, and General Zhang is the only one. ”
"Okay, listen to me tomorrow." Zhang Xun said confidently.
The convener of this anti-bandit meeting was Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, but the person who presided over the meeting was Zhang Xun, who was the governor of Jiangnan at this time, and led nearly 20,000 people including the patrol battalions, sailors, and police patrols of the two rivers. In addition, Zhang Xun also has a direct subordinate unit of the Yangtze River Defense Battalion, with more than 3,000 troops. The soldiers of this unit are all from Zhang Xun's hometown of Jiangxi Province, and they are Zhang Xun's descendants, and the unit is well-equipped, brave and good at fighting, and especially hated the revolutionary party, and if the revolutionary party on both sides of the Yangtze River falls into the hands of the Jiangfang battalion, most of them will not end well.
