Chapter 73 Community of Interests
At this time, the military cabinet of the Forbidden City in Beijing was also noisy, and the reason was that Wang Yongtai eliminated the helmsman of the Yangzhou Cao Gang, and everyone had no conclusion on whether Wang Yongtai was rewarded or punished. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The regent Zaifeng advocated that it was a bright rise and a secret fall, but the head of the Internal Affairs Office, Yixuan, advocated severe punishment, and the two of them had their own hugs, and they argued at the military aircraft, but after all, in the final analysis, the two are still a family, and no matter how much the nephew quarrels, he has to take into account his uncle, and the root cause of Yixuan is too sharp - the Han people are in charge of the army, which is unreliable.
So under the fierce coup d'Γ©tat between the two sides, Wang Yongtai was finally rewarded and punished as follows, punishing Wang Yongtai to transfer from the 24th Mixed Association, but rewarding Wang Yongtai as the deputy commander of the fifth town of the Beiyang Army, and giving Wang Yongtai the title of loyal and brave Baturu, because of the eradication of the Yangzhou Cao Gang, the traitor, rewarded Wang Yongtai with 3,000 taels of silver, and ordered Wang Yongtai to escort the 300,000 taels of silver investigated by the Cao Gang into Beijing to accept the reward. As for the thickening, the court neither rewarded nor punished, but only gave him a jade Ruyi, but he didn't know what Zaifeng was thinking.
As soon as the reward came out, someone immediately informed Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai also informed Wang Yongtai of the news as soon as possible, so Wang Yongtai hurriedly went home to discuss with his younger brother that afternoon.
Wang Yongan took the urgent telegram, and after reading it, his face changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "The imperial court is going to rise and fall secretly, and it is really going towards the worst we expected." β
"What about it?" Wang Yongtai said anxiously, if it was known that his brothers had left the Twenty-Four Mixed Association because of the eradication of the Yangzhou Cao Gang, wouldn't they be subjected to the continuous pursuit and assassination of the remnants of the Cao Gang in the future?
You must not leave military power!
Never leave the army!
The barrel of the gun must not be lost!
"It's not that easy to make us die." Wang Yong'an came up with a poisonous plan and sneered: "Second brother, didn't the imperial court let you rush to the capital immediately?" You will be in the capital in a few days. But before leaving, we mobilized people from the army, let these people disguise themselves as Cao gang desires, capture the Yanyun Division, attack the 24th Mixed Brigade station, and announce the slogan 'Hades go, Yangzhou chaos, drive the Tartars, and the Han Xing', we want to let Na Zaifeng see, without you Wang Yongtai, who can still control this Yangzhou! β
"What do you mean by Chaoyang?" Wang Yongtai was taken aback.
"Yes, Yangzhou has already been messed up once, so I don't care about messing up this second time!" Wang Yongan sneered and said, "The court is unkind, don't blame our brothers for being unjust!" β
"No! Never! Yangzhou can't be messed up anymore! Wang Yongtai said, "We are all from Yangzhou, if we mess up Yangzhou again, we will be poked in the backbone in the future." β
Wang Yongan asked rhetorically: "Second brother, it's a shame that you still think about the future, if you lose military power, if Yangzhou doesn't mess up, our brothers won't be able to survive in the future." You don't want to be poked in the back, but our brothers are going to be poked in the bones! Listen to my advice, so far, if you don't mess up Yangzhou, you have to mess up Yangzhou. β
Wang Yongtai smiled bitterly, this matter is very troublesome, one after another, and the trouble of repeatedly using traps is interlocking one after another, making him breathless. After thinking about it for a moment or two, Wang Yongtai finally sighed and said, "That's all it can be." β
Wang Yongan immediately said: "If you mess up Yangzhou again this time, it is equivalent to a rebellion, second brother, I still say the same thing, we must find someone to help us." β
Wang Yongtai said bitterly: "The last time I was right to deal with the Cao Gang, my subordinates will inevitably follow me, but this time I will mess with Yangzhou...... That's against the court, and they may not be willing. β
"So this time, we're going to give them benefits." Wang Yongan said, "We have to take out the money, tie everyone's interests together, and let us become a community of interests, with both glory and loss, so that they can be tied to our brother's warship." β
"What's your plan?"
"Open a company, open a shipping company, replace the Cao Gang, establish Yanghua Shipping Company, we are all the original shareholders, so if the second brother is dismissed, their company's interests will not be protected, and they will inevitably have to accompany you down." After Wang Yongan's brain turned rapidly, he arranged this interest trap in one go.
Wang Yongtai was skeptical: "Can this work?" They...... Yes...... Will it be tied to us? β
Wang Yongan said with a smile: "Contract, as long as we sign the contract, it is equivalent to owing the deed of sale, if the court handles you, and takes the contract in the future, they don't want to run away." Second brother, the first thing to do before the eyes is to give up the benefits to everyone and tie everyone up with the benefits. β
"Community of interests, right, what you call a community of interests." A new term popped out of Wang Yongtai's mouth.
Wang Yongan laughed and said: "Yes, it is a community of interests, and in the future, we must also tie our subordinates to us with interests, so as not to be betrayed." β
"Okay, everything will work your way." Wang Yongtai knew that his younger brother was witty and more vicious than him, so he handed it over to Wang Yongan, and he began to plan how to mess with Yangzhou again.
According to Wang Yongan's plan to re-chaos in Yangzhou, it was actually an early rehearsal of the Beiyang New Army's chaos in the capital a few years later, and Wang Yongan, who had long been familiar with this period of history, did not hesitate to copy it.
After the two discussed, that night, Wang Yongtai convened his confidants and officers to hold a celebration banquet, but not everyone could participate in this celebration banquet, each of them was carefully selected henchmen, including Yang Zhenshan, the first standard commander, Xi Wusheng, the second standard commander, Wang Deyue, the fourth standard commander, Wu Peng, the head of the Military Law Division, Luo Yinxian, the head of the Quartermaster Division, Xiao Xiangshan, the head of the Military Medical Division, and Gong Wuyuan, the inspector of the inspection office, Hou Gan, the director of the inspection office, Li Yao, the adjutant, Feng Heng, the staff officer, and Wei Wenkang, the new staff member.
At first, the people did not know the purpose of the banquet, but regarded it as an ordinary celebration banquet, and persuaded each other to drink and have a good time. Seeing that the atmosphere was appropriate, Wang Yongan immediately gave Wang Yongtai a look.
Wang Yongtai picked up his wine glass, got up and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone, this time I have summoned you like this, I have something to discuss with you, but it is not a sad thing, but a great thing, a great good thing." Everyone raised their heads one after another, only to hear Wang Yongtai continue: "Brothers! Brothers, Let me ask you a question, do you know why the Yangzhou Cao Gang is so rich? Isn't it thanks to the shipping monopoly of the Grand Canal? If the Grand Canal shipping is handed over to us, won't this opportunity to make a fortune come out of nowhere? Since the Cao Gang was cut off, my two brothers have been thinking about the collapse of the Cao Gang, how to take over this shipping? So in the past few days, I have been running a shipping company to take over the business of the Cao Gang. The shareholders of this shipping company are all of you here, I wonder if you are interested in this unprofitable transaction? What about taking this shipping blank? β
Everyone was moved, if everyone took over the business of the Cao Gang, it would indeed be a fortune, who didn't know that the business done by the Cao Gang was the monopoly of the canal transportation business, but this exclusive business, not to mention the wealth of the money, even the weight of the words was not ordinary.
Wang Yongan took over at this time, got up and said: "Yanghua Shipping Company, under the name of Yanghua Group, but this shipping company operates independently, and the shareholders discuss the operation together, and if any of you don't become an official in the future, you can also be a supervisor in the shipping company, so as not to steal and cheat, right?" Brothers, all of you are soldiers, or officials, or like Mr. Wei, who used to be depressed, you can imagine that when we are old, we will step down from our positions, what else do you have? What else can you rely on? As the saying goes, it's better to rely on your son and father than on yourself, only if you have money, you brothers have confidence in whatever you do in the future, right? β
"That's right."
"After I have money, I don't rely on anyone."
"If you can take over the Cao Gang business, don't talk about yourself in the future, even your children and grandchildren won't have to worry about life."
"Ge Laozi, do it, why don't you do it? Instead of letting people snatch this kind of cheapness, let's grab it ourselves, even if someone snatches it from us in the future, the brothers will also make a fortune, right? β
"Yes, whoever doesn't participate is a fool."
"Hahaha...... Yes, if you follow General Wang, you will not treat us badly. β
β¦β¦
Wang Yongan and Wang Yongtai glanced at each other, with a satisfied smile in their eyes, and at this time, they only heard Wei Wenkang hesitantly asking, "Both?" Including me? β
Wang Yongan laughed and said: "Mr. Wei laughed, everyone here, Mr. Wei can't say the most, but the most important thing is that in the future, Yanghua Shipping Company, my eldest brother will account for 30% of the shares, I will account for 10% of the shares, and you will together account for 60% of the shares, can you be satisfied?" β
"Satisfied!"
"Naturally, I am satisfied!"
"In this way, isn't General Wang at a loss?"
"Yes, no, no, you can't let General Wang suffer!"
"I can't let the little general suffer."
Wei Wenkang counted the number of people, and said in surprise: "The rest of us have a total of eleven, accounting for sixty percent, and the average share is five and a half of the shares, and Jingyun You are only one percent, so don't you suffer a big loss?" β
Wang Yongan laughed and said: "What loss do I suffer, I just used my brain, it will be you who will work hard in the future, and I will take up too much of it." β
"Not much, not more!"
"Yes, not much."
"If it were someone else, we would be lucky to be able to take advantage of the achievements together."
Wang Yongan saw everyone's support and immediately said: "This is the best, then our Yanghua Shipping Company has been established, what do you think?" β
"Good!"
"Agreed!"
"Established, established!"
β¦β¦
Wang Yongtai raised his glass and said: "After this cup, we will be ...... in the future It is...... Community of interests! Everyone was puzzled, but Wei Wenkang understood the meaning, his expression was a little playful, Wang Yongtai didn't need everyone to understand, raised his glass and said: "After this glass of wine, we will all be rich people in the future!" β
"Yes, they're all rich, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
