Although Wang Yongan did not disembark in Shanghai, Du Yuesheng, a general under Wang Yongan, disembarked in Chongming County in advance with some brothers, and then returned to Shanghai by boat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At that time, thanks to Wang Yongan's friendship, he led more than 300 Qinggang brothers to participate in the expeditionary force, but he did not expect to become famous, so after Du Yuesheng led the old brothers back to Shanghi, Du Yuesheng immediately moved to Shanghai Beach, and even Shanghi Overseer Chen Qimei also took the initiative to invite Du Yuesheng to serve in the revolutionary military government. In the past, Du Yuesheng was just a horse boy under Huang Jinrong, but now Du Yuesheng's identity is different, and his prestige even exceeds that of his godfather Huang Jinrong.

Patriotism, righteousness, and heroism are attached to Du Yuesheng, but his status suddenly became remarkable, and he was warmly welcomed by all parties, and finally gave up all the treatment of St. Lucas in vain, and the old brothers naturally smiled.

Du Yuesheng, an expeditionary general who was born in the Green Gang, retired after the victory, who dared not to give him face in the entire Shanghai Beach, who dared to embarrass Du Yuesheng, who wanted to become Du Yuesheng's disciple Sun can be sent from the Xuhui Catholic Church to the Huangpu River, what Huang Jinrong and what Zhang Xiaolin, at this time they have to tie up Du Yuesheng.

After receiving Chen Qimei's invitation, Du Yuesheng thought about it, to be honest, he didn't want to join the government, but considering that Wang Yongan might lead the army south to exterminate the revolutionary military government, and he would never be an enemy of Wang Yongan, he refused Chen Qimei's invitation and concentrated on being a green gang boss.

Chen Qimei was disappointed, but when he saw Du Yuesheng politely declined, he had to give up the invitation, and praised Du Yuesheng as "the first righteous brother of the Green Gang".

After Du Yuesheng returned to Shanghi, he became the underground emperor of Shanghi Beach, and everyone knows that Du Yuesheng is not only a national hero, but also represents Jiangbei Wang Yongan, and Jiangbei Wang Yongan has always been a boulder in the heart of the revolutionary party.

Chen Qimei was also anxious, he kept sending telegrams to Wang Yongan to ask about Wang Yongan's attitude, but he never got a reply, and he vaguely considered that Wang Yongan was very likely to attack the revolutionary military government in the future, so he organized the army on the one hand, and actively wooed Wang Yongan on the other hand.

At this time, Wang Yongan led the overseas Chinese army to stop at Chongming Island to rest for a night, although Chongming Island belonged to Shanghai in later generations, but it was also divided after the founding of New China, obviously Chongming Island in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China was still the area of Nantong County, Jiangsu Province.

Nantong is Zhang Jian's territory, so Chongming is Zhang Jian's territory, and the Qing army here does not know the imperial court, only Zhang Jian. Chongming Island is far away from Shanghi, the economy is not developed, the island grows cotton and other crops, and there are many farmers and fishermen. Fortunately, because most of the industries on the island belong to the Zhang family, and Zhang Jian is kind to the hired farmers, the life of the people on Chongming Island is comfortable and rich, so no one wants to make trouble with the revolutionary party, Chongming Island has not been affected by the storm of the revolutionary party's uprising, and it is still peaceful.

However, when the people on the island heard that the general of the overseas Chinese protector had returned, they ran to the dock to greet the overseas Chinese army.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the people of Chongming, Wang Yongan had a feeling of meeting his relatives, and after meeting with some gentry and officials in a row, he was able to rest. After resting for a day on Chongming Island, the warship sailed up the Shuojiang River to Nantong County, and Wang Yongan led a group of soldiers from the Overseas Chinese Escort Army to disembark, and the fleet returned to Weihai Naval Port.

The snow was falling like goose feathers, and the soldiers, looking at the university, shouted, "We're back!" ”

Wang Yongan also shouted loudly: "Holy shit, Lao Tzu is back again!" ”

The other soldiers looked at each other and shouted in the same way: "Dog's day, Lao Tzu will also come!" Then everyone laughed, Wang Yongan was in a very good mood, looking at the heavy snow in the sky, turning around to look at a thousand soldiers, Wang Yongan was heroic, and shouted: "Brothers, the new journey has begun, follow me, make contributions!" ”

"Make a difference!" The soldiers shouted.

In the home led by Nantong County officials, the overseas Chinese guards came to the county seat to rest. Zhang Jian prepared the welcoming ceremony early in Nantong County, and tens of thousands of people welcomed him.

"Jingyun, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, but you have lost a lot of weight." Zhang Jian arched his hand.

"Gong Zhang, the juniors are polite." Wang Yongan hurriedly walked over and said.

Zhang Jian said: "Let's go, let's go, the establishment has already arranged a banquet, just waiting for you to come back." "In terms of the strength of Zhang Jian's family, it is not a problem to arrange tens of thousands of people to eat and drink at one time, and he originally planned to have three or four thousand overseas Chinese protectors, but he didn't expect that there were only more than 1,000 overseas Chinese protectors. Although it was much easier to entertain, when we first set off, there were only five or six thousand people in the army, why is it that now there are only one-sixth?

Wang Yongan smiled and explained that more than 1,000 fallen soldiers were buried in their homeland, and more than 4,000 people remained in San Lucas, sticking to the base camp of overseas Chinese.

Zhang Jian and other Nantong gentry inquired about the overseas experience of the overseas Chinese protectors, and Wang Yongan started from the time when the overseas Chinese guards left Shanghi, and then talked about what happened in Japan, and also talked about what happened in Mexico, and how to negotiate the reparations into the San Lucaste district in order to protect overseas Chinese and earn face for the Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Jian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Jingyun, do you know how happy I am to be the establishment of the St. Lucas Chinese Special Zone." Although St. Lucas is not my territory of the Qing Dynasty, it is better than my territory of the Qing Dynasty, you have created the only precedent for expanding the territory in the past hundred years, even if the court rewards you as a prince, it is not too much. ”

Wang Yongan shook his head and smiled, and said: "I'm not uncommon with this national prince, by the way, Zhang Gong, how is the domestic situation?" ”

When it came to the domestic situation, Zhang Jian shook his head again and again, and said: "The north-south mutual market has also been interrupted, fortunately, it is already winter, and the business is not good, otherwise the impact will be too great, and my Dasheng yarn factory will also be affected." Our banks have also tightened, but fortunately, you warned in advance, and many of our banks in Jiangnan withdrew ahead of schedule and moved to Jiangbei. Jiangbei has not been affected in any way, and even many Jiangnan people have gone to live in Jiangbei. In my opinion, no one can say what is going on in this world, and only Yuan Dadu is the governor who decides the world. ”

Wang Yongan nodded, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law formed a new cabinet, and Zhang Gong should be indispensable for your important position, right?" ”

Zhang Jian blushed, nodded and said, "Just sent a telegram to me a few days ago, appointing me as the Minister of Agriculture and Industry to preside over the affairs of agriculture and commerce in the world. ”

Wang Yongan hurriedly got up and congratulated him: "I hope that in the future, President Zhang will take care of the business of the younger generation." ”

Zhang Jian smiled and said: "Jingyun is messing around, you and I are doing business together, what do you say to take care of it, and Yuan Gong still needs our Zhonghua Industrial Bank to borrow money to train the army." ”

Did Yuan Shikai borrow money from me? Wang Yongan touched his chin and showed a hint of a playful smile.
