Chapter 109: Night Under Sophia's Church
() "Dosimifa"
The melodious chimes of the bell ring in the bell tower at the top of the Sophia Church, on which the seven ringing bronze bells are exactly seven notes.
The Sophia Church stands proudly under the silver, with a huge and full onion-headed dome, commanding the tent tops of different sizes with four wings, and under the east-west Latin cross, the clear red brick wall contrasts with the green dome.
With the completion of the Eastern Railway, Russia intends to build Harbin into the Moscow of the East, and a large amount of capital has attracted businessmen from all over the world, especially local Russian businessmen.
In the Russian Consulate next to the Sophia Church, under the boasting of the arms dealers, a large number of Russian businessmen gathered at the consulate and raised banners to protest He Tianci's behavior.
"He Tianci's forcible confiscation of guns and disbandment of militia groups in Eastern Mongolia have seriously damaged the Russian Empire's arms business in Eastern Mongolia."
"Yes, the previous Middle East train bombing case also affected our fur business in Manchuria, and we strongly demand that the Russian Empire make the decision for us, send troops to Eastern Mongolia, and exterminate He Tianci to ensure the safety of our lives and property."
Behind the Mongol prince stood these arms dealers of Tsarist Russia, as well as officials in the Far East, and He Tianci's two consecutive incidents of harming the interests of the Russians had angered this group of businessmen, and they all shouted for troops to be sent to Eastern Mongolia.
Listening to the doubts outside, Madrid Dóf, the consul general of Tsarist Russia in Qingguo, did not have any impatient expression on his face, picked up the cigar beside him, lit it unhurriedly, and took a puff with satisfaction: "Alpha go out and have a look, old way, send them away." ”
"Yes." Alpha's face was full of confidence, and he happily took over this matter, since the Middle East train bombing, these Russian businessmen have called for sending troops to Dongmeng, and Alpha has dealt with this kind of thing in the past few days.
"Hehe" looked at the angry Russian businessmen outside the window, Madrid Astoria was full of disdain, their arms business was damaged, Madrid Astoria's business was very smooth, after the Russo-Japanese War, He Tianci spent more than 10 million taels of money to buy arms on Madrid Astoria, of which Madrid Astoria ate more than one million rebates, in addition to He Tianci's fur business, wine business, with the rapid development of Taonan, Tongliao and other cities are also getting closer and closer.
After the Middle East train bombing, it caused great anger in Tsarist Russia, and the investigators sent to investigate the bombing.
At the same time, the Governor's Office of the Three Eastern Provinces and Renben Zhèng Fu put pressure on Tsarist Russia at the same time, condemning Tsarist Russia's slander against He Tianci, taking in Mongolian rebels, interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, and being forced to stop dealing with He Tianci under pressure.
Madrid Astoria's proposition of a peaceful settlement has been widely recognized, and for He Tianci's image in Eastern Mongolia and even Northeast China, Madrid Astoria also elaborated on Tsarist Russia, and the influence of He Tianci Zhongxing Group and Zhongxing Qianzhuang in Northeast China also directly proves this.
At the same time that He Tianci issued an order to confiscate guns, Madridolfo was also appointed by Tsarist Russia and sent him to Tongliao to negotiate with He Tianci in person.
Under the Sophia Church, Alpha waved his hand and looked impassioned: "Please rest assured, we will definitely seek justice for you, zhèng fu has also endured He Tianci's behavior, now please wait for a few days, we will definitely deal with it......"
Every day is the same rhetoric, it is such a postponement, every day waiting for the Tsar's reply, no matter in any country, there is only protest in the face of the policy of zhèng fu, and sometimes even there is no right to protest, these Russian businessmen are a little helpless, but under the rhetoric of Alpha, they can only leave in despair.
Looking at the gradually dissipating crowd, Alpha showed a hint of relief on his face, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, facing these businessmen every day for several days, Alpha was tired of standing and talking, but he didn't expect these businessmen to wait day by day for this matter.
Madrid Dolph stroked his gray mustache, opened the drawer and took out a large bundle of gold rubles, which were all receipts for trade with He Tianci in the past year, and He Tianci should be kept as a cash cow both in public and private.
Tsarist Russia zhèng fu will not pay attention to the protests of these businessmen at all, because He Tianci's demand for arms far exceeds these Eastern Mongolian princes, for these competing Mongolian bandits, militia groups, etc., since the death of Tao Ketao, Tsarist Russia zhèng fu will not put the experience on them, instead of spending a lot of equipment and money on the Mongolian rebels, it is better to increase trade exchanges with He Tianci, strive to obtain the greatest interests of Tsarist Russia in the northeast, and jointly resist Ri himself.
The winter in Harbin is also so short, the sun has just set, the night has quietly come, with a slight chill, pressed down towards Harbin, Madrid Dolph draped the yellow sè tweed coat on the hanger.
Under the reflection of the street lamps, the night sè of Harbin is so beautiful, the bell tower of Sophia Cathedral resounded with the melody of yin yang frustration, the nightlife of Harbin began, and the merchants who had protested in the consulate for an afternoon also left sparsely.
"Consul Madrid Dorf, done ......" dealt with the street merchants for an afternoon, and Alpha Jing was exhausted.
Madrid Dolph stopped Alpha's complaints, took out a wad of gold rubles casually, and said with a slight smile: "Alpha, hard work, I'm not in this section of the rib, take care of the consulate." ”
"This ......" Alpha hesitated, and took back his outstretched hand, this large amount of gold rubles was enough for his salary for a year, and in the face of so much money, Alpha was a little flattered.
"Take it, don't be so polite." Madmaddorf put the money in Alpha's hands and sighed: "Don't waste any time, let me see what a soldier looks like." ”
"Yes" Alpha immediately gave a standard military salute to Madrid Astoria, after the Russo-Japanese War, Alpha was transferred to work in the consulate with Madrid Astoria, this military salute was both strange and familiar.
Madrid Astoria gave Alpha a military salute in return, a familiar and unfamiliar military salute, Madrid Dorf sighed in his heart, and the scene of five years ago seemed to happen in front of him.
Five years ago, Madridorf was a colonel in the Far East Intelligence Bureau of Tsarist Russia, and He Tianci was just a small patrol battalion management band, and Madridorf recommended him to the Far East Command, which allowed him to develop and grow in the war and make a lot of war money.
Now He Tianci is no longer the small patrol battalion management belt, the army is under the control of eleven towns, the envoy of Dongmeng Town, and the princes of the side with heavy troops. Madridorf waved his hand at Alpha and took advantage of the night to step onto the four-wheeled carriage outside the door.
On Sophia Street in Harbin under the colorful scenery, Madrid's Russian-style four-wheeled carriage looks particularly monotonous, and the wheels press on the street, leaving two clear traces.
The Russian-style carriage is very far away in the night, the nightlife of Harbin has just begun, the Russians are addicted to alcohol, the nightlife of Harbin belongs to the drunk, after entering eight o'clock, the bar is very active, the vodka of the ZTE Group is hot here, far away from Europe, He Tianci's ZTE Group has refreshed the market of the Russians through Madrid Dorf, and now the ZTE vodka accounts for more than eighty percent in Harbin.
On the noisy street, Alpha looked at the traces of the carriage in a daze, he and Madrid Astoria are comrades-in-arms who have been on the battlefield together, and he also knows He Tianci, this time Madrid Astoria went to Tongliao in person, I don't know if Madrid Astoria can adapt to it, and He Tianci's identity and status change.
Alpha's biggest concern was the Caucasian superiority in Madrid's mind, and he was worried that Madrid's trip would be dangerous, and Alpha's eyes began to blur under the shining street lights.
A notice of confiscation of guns, disbandment of vigilante groups, and revocation of the levy caused an uproar in Eastern Mongolia, and the storm of the Middle East train bombing case was immediately suppressed.
The same notice, the same piece of sky, some people are happy and some are worried about this notice, and the deadline for handing in guns is getting closer and closer, and the Mongolian princes and militia groups on the steppe are still worried in their hearts, but they are far more worried about this matter.
In the 21st Association stationed in Jing'an, Na Zhiwu is also worried about this matter, Na Zhiwu does things safely, as He Tianci's big brother, he has been stationed in Jing'an County, Jing'an County below these small militia groups, the strength of the princes, he also sees in his eyes, the eleventh town is the beginning of the grassland, the people's hearts are not stable, and there is no official appointment from the imperial court, as long as the prince and the militia do not go too far, then Zhiwu will open one eye and close one eye, he feels that these princes in Dongmeng are intricately powerful, Sending troops easily can lead to disputes, so he has always insisted on resolving problems peacefully.
Taonan said goodbye, the two brothers He Tianci went south to personally go into battle to collect Baiyin Dalai, and Na Zhiwu went north to garrison Jing'an.
As soon as the notice of He Tianci's forcible confiscation of guns came out this time, Na Zhiwu set off for Taonan, ready to talk to He Tianci, he thought that it was a bit hasty to easily send troops in this matter, as a sworn brother, he had to talk to He Tianci, his big brother's words, He Tianci should be able to listen.
