Chapter 112: The Sichuan Army is just messing around
There is no way to do this, and it is no problem for the military government to pull out a few accountants who can settle accounts, but it is extremely difficult to find talents who understand banking business and financial operations.
The Liu family is different, they themselves have talents in this area, and they also have channels and connections to introduce talents. Even if the Liu family in the United States turns their faces and doesn't recognize people, there is still Mrs. Liu's father, Chen Wenli, who can help.
"Young Marshal, what you said is true? I am also solely responsible for the restructured bank, both in terms of personnel and specific operations. Mrs. Liu asked in disbelief.
Wang Mo nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, unless the operation of the bank has a huge negative impact on the economy of the two provinces, I will not care about it under normal circumstances." As for the most important currency issuance, when it will be issued, and how much it will be issued, you will draw up it and submit it to me for approval. ”
In terms of finance, the Liu family is an expert. Wang Mo is self-aware, and he will not rely on his power to command outsiders, he only looks at the results and benefits.
While handing over full power to the Liu family, Wang Mo can also use the Liu family to cultivate his own financial talents and gradually control the situation. Moreover, as long as he has the gun in his hand, he really doesn't worry about the Liu family's ability to turn the sky upside down.
This is also not a bad thing for the Liu family, Yicheng shares may sound small, but this is the official bank of Sichuan and Hubei provinces. After the development and growth of this bank, Yicheng's shares are definitely more than ten times more than the current capital of the Liu family.
"That's good, I hope the young marshal will do it." Mrs. Liu still couldn't believe that Wang Mo would delegate power so much.
Wang Mo didn't care about Mrs. Liu's doubts, nodded and said, "Of course, time will tell." ”
Subsequently, the mother and son of the Liu family said goodbye and left, went back to rectify Huiyuan Qianzhuang, and began to prepare for the establishment of a new comprehensive bank across Sichuan and Hubei provinces.
After sending away the mother and son of the Liu family. Wang Mo was also greatly relieved. He understands what kind of metaphor "Zhang Fei embroidery" is, and when dealing with these complex and professional financial problems, he is really the first two big. Fortunately, in the future, the specific operation will be handed over to the Liu family, and he only needs to control it at the macro level.
Just when Wang Mo recruited the Liu family to set up a bank and rectify the financial industry in Sichuan and Hubei provinces, Wuhan welcomed several special guests one after another.
Hankow. Yangtze River port.
Since the recent incident in which a foreigner's gunboat was damaged by the Sichuan army, the shipping of ships here has not only not languished, but has become more and more prosperous, and countless cargo ships and passenger ships have come and gone almost every moment.
In the dock area, many people crowded to look at the Guishan Fort in the distance, wanting to see the rumored cannon that damaged the foreigner gunboat.
In the crowd, a middle-aged man pointed to the artillery on the Guishan Fort and asked the people next to him, "Runnon, those cannons with long barrels are the rumored artillery guns that damaged the foreigner gunboats, right?" ”
Leap farmers?
If Wang Mo is here. Hearing this title, Bao Zhun jumped three feet high with excitement. Because one of the three famous non-commissioned officers of this era, Zhang Xiaohuai's character is called Runnong.
That's right, this person is Zhang Xiaohuai. At the beginning of the war between the north and the south, he followed Huang Xing to Jiangsu to participate in the war against Yuan. After the defeat of Yuan's army, Huang Xing ran away and went into exile in Japan in a panic.
After that, Zhang Xiaohuai became a wanted criminal. Just as he was about to flee to Japan with his family. Suddenly, I heard that the Sichuan army was advancing eastward into Hubei and cutting off the Jinghan line. The news of completely turning the tide of the war put down the escape plan.
Later, when the news came that the Sichuan army had brazenly damaged the foreigner gunboats and forcefully broken the attempt to blockade the Yangtze River channel in Beiyang, Zhang Xiaohuai decided to go to Hubei to meet Wang Mo, the young marshal of the Sichuan army, and the Sichuan army that turned the tide of the national war.
It was no one else who questioned Zhang Xiaohuai. It was Yang Shukan, a member of the Sichuan Provincial Council who had negotiated with Wang Mo many times on behalf of the Kuomintang in Sichuan.
Zhang Xiaohuai and Yang Shukan only met by chance on the dock after getting off the ship, and the two are also old acquaintances of the alliance, so they naturally go together.
At this time, Zhang Xiaohuai also looked at the five cannons with long barrels on the Guishan Fort with a focused expression, and heard Yang Shukan's question. So he nodded and replied: "That's right, those five guns with particularly long barrels are the cannons that damaged the foreigner gunboats." ”
Yang Shukan looked at the five cannons and exclaimed: "The barrel of this cannon is so long, it is really extraordinary!" ”
"This cannon is specially designed to hit targets with armor protection, and if it is accurate, it is not a problem at all for two or three shells to sink a foreign gunboat." Zhang Xiaohuai explained.
"But Wang Mo really dared, he actually fired artillery and injured the foreigner gunboat, isn't he afraid of the foreigner's retaliation?" Yang Shukan shook his head, seemingly disapproving of Wang Mo's impulsive and reckless behavior.
"The foreigners can't help the Sichuan army, no matter how many gunboats with small tonnage come, they will be killed, and large warships and battleships can't drive in." Zhang Xiaohuai smiled coldly and said, "When I was in Shanghai, I heard that Zhu Erdian personally rushed to Shanghai to quarrel with the commander of the British Far East Fleet, Wartel, for several days, but he could not get the Far East Fleet to send ships to retaliate against the Sichuan army. ”
"In this case, it seems that the English foreigners have to swallow this loss." Yang Shukan admired Wang Mo a little, and he was able to retreat with a punch from the foreigner.
Afterwards, the two chatted about Wang Mo, the young marshal of the Sichuan army, and the affairs of the Sichuan army, and walked towards Wang Mo's temporary residence in Hankou.
When Yang Shukan and Zhang Xiaohuai came to visit, Wang Mo was enjoying the cool in the back garden of the temporary mansion, lying on a chaise longue alone, squinting slightly, lazily enjoying the caress of the autumn breeze and listening to the crisp birdsong in the garden.
Wang Erhu walked into the back garden, leaned into Wang Mo's ear, and reported in a low voice: "Young marshal, Yang Shukan and Zhang Yunong of the Kuomintang came to visit and wanted to see you." ”
"Yang Shukan? Let him wait. Wang Mo waved his hand impatiently.
What is the purpose of Yang Shukan's visit to Hubei, Wang Mo knows very well. Not to mention that it is impossible for him to agree, even if he really wants to agree, he has to dry Yang Shukan, otherwise how can he take the opportunity to scrape the oil and water of the People's Party?
Wait a minute!
Yang Shukan and Zhang Runnong?
Zhang Runong?
Zhang Runnong!
Wang Mo suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the recliner all of a sudden, and said with some joy: "Go, take them to the living room, and I'll go over to see them immediately." ”
Wang Mo's attitude changed quickly, and the contrast was great. The second tiger who was confused was dumbfounded.
The reason why there is such a change is because he just remembered that Zhang Yunong seems to be Zhang Xiaohuai, one of the three famous non-commissioned officers of the Republic of China.
This is an elite-level military talent that Wang Mo has coveted for a long time, and he can't even invite him, and now he takes the initiative to send it to the door, of course, it is worth being happy.
When Wang Mo came to the living room, Yang Shukan and Zhang Xiaohuai were already waiting in the living room.
"I've seen the young marshal!" Yang Shukan and Zhang Xiaohuai gave Wang Mo a salute at the same time.
"You're welcome. Have a seat! Wang Mo smiled slightly and sat down in the main seat of the living room.
Afterwards, Wang Mo instructed the orderlys: "Serve tea, go and bring the big red robe in my bedroom to brew!" ”
Knowing that Wang Mo was a soldier who liked to go straight, Yang Shukan didn't go around the bend, but asked straight to the point: "Young marshal, I'm here to ask on behalf of Mr. Sun, what does it mean for the young marshal to send that telegram?" ”
"What do you mean, isn't it very clear when you turn on the electricity?" Wang Mo said lightly. looked at the legendary non-commissioned officer Sanjie Zhang Xiaohuai, and asked, "Brother Runnong is also your representative of Mr. Sun?" ”
Wang Mo was looking at the legendary Zhang Xiaohuai, and Zhang Xiaohuai was also observing Wang Mo, the young marshal of the Sichuan army, who seemed to be too young.
Hearing Wang Mo's question, Zhang Xiaohuai replied: "Oh, no, I am not appointed by Mr. Sun, I just want to see what kind of force the Sichuan Army can defeat the Hubei Army, the Beiyang Army and the foreigner gunboats one after another. ”
"That's fine. As long as Brother Runong is willing, all departments of the Sichuan Army are open to Brother Runnong. Wang Mo readily agreed. He also wanted to see what the elite officers of this era thought of the Sichuan Army he had single-handedly created.
Zhang Xiaohuai was also very satisfied with Wang Mo's cheerfulness, and said with a smile: "I'm causing trouble for the young marshal." ”
"Brother Runnong, just call me Ziwen." Wang Mo drew the relationship between the two sides closer without a trace, and then instructed Wang Erhu, "Erhu, you can lead the way for Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang can go wherever he wants." ”
"Ziwen. Don't bother too much, I'll go to the Guishan Fort to see the artillery regiment and the troops stationed in Wuhan. Zhang Xiaohuai just wanted to figure out why the Sichuan army defeated one strong army after another, while the Kuomintang troops were defeated again and again.
After getting Wang Mo's permission, Wang Erhu took Zhang Xiaohuai to visit the artillery regiment of the Guishan Fort and the third regiment of the first division of the Sichuan Army stationed in Wuhan.
After Zhang Xiaohuai left. Yang Shukan couldn't wait to ask again: "Young marshal, just say it directly, what conditions do you need to agree to enter Jiangxi and annihilate the 2nd and 6th divisions of the Beiyang Army?" ”
Wang Mo shook his head and said, "Councilor Yang, since I have already sent a telegram calling for a truce, it is impossible for me to continue to provoke war. ”
"Young marshal, are you going to pay for the troops? Or is it the same as last time, a million oceans, how? Yang Shu thought that Wang Mo still wanted to extort a sum of military expenses, so he took the initiative to make an offer.
"It's not about the money." Wang Mo shook his head and said.
Yang Shukan raised the price again: "Two million oceans, how about it?" ”
Wang Mo still shook his head.
"How much does it cost, young marshal, you say it yourself, as long as you can afford it, we will smash the pot and sell iron for you." Yang Shukan gritted his teeth and said.
Wang Mo refused without hesitation and said, "I said, it's not a matter of money!" How to end this war, I hope that Beiyang and your Kuomintang Party, as well as our Sichuan army, will sit down together and resolve it through negotiations. ”
"Young marshal......" Yang Shukan still wants to say something.
Wang Mo interrupted Yang Shukan's words with a wave of his hand, and said in a resolute tone: "Okay, I will tell you Mr. Sun that I hope to see the tripartite talks held as soon as possible and smoothly resolve the dispute between the north and the south." ”
Seeing Wang Mo's resolute attitude, Yang Shukan had no choice but to leave and contact Shanghai.
In the evening, Zhang Xiaohuai, under the leadership of Wang Erhu, returned to Wang Mo's temporary mansion.
"Brother Runnon, how is it, do you have any advice?" Wang Mo asked Zhang Xiaohuai.
Zhang Xiaohuai's face didn't seem to look very good, and said, "Ziwen, do you want to listen to the truth or lie?" ”
Wang Mo replied without hesitation: "Of course it's true, Brother Runnong doesn't have to scruple about anything, if you have anything to say, I can still listen to the advice." ”
"Well, IMHO! In my opinion. Zhang Xiaohuai said in a deep voice, "The Sichuan army is just messing around!" (To be continued......)
