Wang Hengyue's rectification of Sichuan was carried out in an orderly manner.

The expansion of the armed forces is being carried out intensively, and the task of building a large number of new-style troops must be completed this year!

Deng Yong, who is far away in Europe, has expanded his business very well. A large amount of pig bristles, tung oil, copper and other material resources were continuously sent to Europe, in exchange for a steady stream of money.

The British need it, the French need it, and the Germans need it too.

Wang Hengyue knows very well that with his current strength, he can't intervene in the world war, and what he can do now is to get enough benefits for himself in this war that happened in Europe!

Europe has been turned upside down, and it has nothing to do with itself, all you care about is what you can get!

Stewang's help was huge, he provided ships for Wang Hengyue and opened up passages, and there seemed to be nothing in Europe that he couldn't do, which made Wang Hengyue more and more curious about his identity.

Of course, Stewang's help is definitely not gratuitous, and this investor has already started to make profits on his "Mr. Stocks" Wang Hengyue.

Especially with U.S.-China mining companies.

Stewang never thought that Wang Hengyue had really discovered a coal mine with huge reserves in Sichuan, as well as those associated minerals that appeared with the coal mine!

It's not a coal mine, it's a gold mine!

The only thing that annoyed Stewang and the American investment team was that they were not optimistic about Sichuan's coal production at all, and only invested in machinery and equipment and technicians, accounting for a small share capital.

But there is no way, the so-called investment must be sharp-eyed and dare to make a move, such as Stewang's investment in Wang Hengyue back then.

Wang Hengyue invested ruthlessly in coal mines, and he was not allowed to invest heavily, so he succeeded! Stewang and the U.S. investment group were unimpressed, so they could only take a small stake.

However, even this small profit can make a lot of profit for Stawang and the American investment group! At least in this respect, the Americans are very satisfied!

There are also copper mines in Yunnan.

God knows that when everyone thinks that the copper mine in Yunnan has been exhausted, how can Wang Hengyue judge that there is such a huge copper mine in Yunnan as Dahongshan!

The annual lease fee of 500,000 yuan and the filial piety fee of 100,000 yuan to Tang Overseer are simply naked plunder compared to the benefits obtained by Wang Hengyue!

But Tang Jiyao didn't have anything to do!

It's not just a contract, the so-called contract is a piece of waste paper in Tang Jiyao's view, and what he is worried about is the force behind Zhang Nanhe, the general manager of "Yunnan Xinlong Mining Company".

General Manager of Sino-American Xinlong Co., Ltd., the general agent of the United States of America Land Industrial Company in Sichuan, and the general agent of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Oss Industrial Company in Sichuan

This long list of titles means that Zhang Nanhe has both American and British backing behind him.

Not only that, but there are often foreigners in the Dahongshan Copper Mine. It is said that they are some shareholders. Even the consul of the U.S. Consulate in Yucheng called Tang Jiyao to thank Tang for his "care" of the Dahongshan Copper Mine.

Of course, these are all obtained by Wang Hengyue from Stewang with 8% of the shares of the Dahongshan Copper Mine. These shares were exchanged for the capital, technology, and unlimited support of the Americans for the copper mine!

The relationship between Wang Hengyue and Sterwang was originally a mutual contract and mutual use. All the interests bind them together most closely, and then start to cooperate more closely.

Tang Jiyao threw a rat bogey.

Fortunately, he is very good at comforting himself, but fortunately, there are still 600,000 profits to be made every year. When Wang Hengyue is defeated in the future and enters Sichuan, everything that originally belonged to Wang Hengyue will be his own. Coal mines, the military

Of course, he never dreamed that the Dahongshan Copper Mine was actually Wang Hengyue's!

In this year, Wang Hengyue was steaming, desperately developing himself and strengthening himself, and it was also in this year that two very important figures in the history of the Republic of China passed away.

One is Huang Xing, Sun Wen's most important assistant.

Since the defeat of the Second Revolution, Huang Xing has been in the United States to seek Yuan Junxing, he went to the United States to Ben, landed in Yokohama on May 9, 5 years, and then returned to Shanghai.

Soon after Huang Xing returned to Shanghai, on October 10, the 5th year of the Republic of China, he suddenly suffered from a ruptured blood vessel in the stomach, vomiting blood and fainting. During his illness, he also received Cai Jie, who had traveled from Sichuan to Shanghai, and the two fathers comforted each other, but not long after Cai Yi left, he passed away at 5:30 p.m. on October 31.

Huang Xing's original name is Zhen, alias Qingwu, also known as Jinwu, originally from Langli City, Shanhua County, Hunan, born in the thirteenth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty, September 16, 1874, and the converted solar calendar is October 25, 8 years younger than Sun Yat-sen, 8 years older than Song Jiaoren and Cai Yi.

His whole life is related to October, which can be said to be a coincidence, he was born in October, died in October, succeeded in the Wuchang Uprising on October 10, and got sick on October 10. He was only 43 years old when he died, and after Huang Xing's death at an early age, on November 1, Sun Yat-sen sent a letter to overseas branches to inform Huang Xing of his death.

"To open the country with courage and health, and to hold on to tranquility and carry it out, is a person who can create a lifetime; once sent me to the sea, suddenly cried the end of the world, shocked and tearful, and it was difficult to be a sick Kyushu person. ”

Another person who is contrary to Huang and Cai, but their personal relationship is extremely irreversible, is Yang Duwan and Huang Lianyun, the head of the six gentlemen of Hong Xian:

"Public friendship may not be private, it is said that political opinions are divided, and the liver and gallbladder have so far promoted close friends; One body can defeat 10,000 people, but unfortunately the tyrant has no life, and he has been trapped in life and death since ancient times. ”

Cai Yi, the hero of the defense of the country and Yuan, died of illness 8 days after Huang Xing's death.

On November 8, Cai Ye knew that he couldn't afford it, so he lifted up from left to right to look at the plane outside the window, and said to his friend gloomily: "I can't do it, I can't die on the battlefield of foreign warfare, I really can't die." ”

It was on this day that this great man of a generation, who regarded wealth and nobility as floating clouds, and succeeded but did not live in the country, General Cai Yi, died forever. He left this world at the age of 35.

After Cai Yi's death, the whole country mourned, and thousands of miles of rain wept.

Among all the elegiac couplets, Yang Du's couplet is the most eye-catching, Yang Du's elegiac couplet is:

"The soul returns to a foreign land, and now the heroes are gods, and the rivers and mountains are crying in the rain; The people of the southeast were exhausted, and the sores were full of sores, and the success or failure at that time had been vicissitudes. ”

As for the legendary Cai Yi's confidante Xiao Fengxian's elegy, it is a small episode in the solemn deeds of the great man, and the couplet and sacrificial text of Xiao Fengxian are all written by the blood of the madman king of Hengzhou. Xiao Fengxian's two pairs of couplets were spread all over the city at that time, and the first couplet was:

"Unfortunately, Zhou Lang was short-lived; I knew that Li Jing was a hero! ”

The second couplet is:

"Thousands of miles south of the sky Pengyi, straight up to the rock, that can be the rest of the life, Pingshui marriage into a dream; After a few years of rouge in the north, he fell into self-sorrow, won a confidant of beauty, and the color of peach blossoms was also eternal. ”

So, according to these two couplets, the people of the folk good deeds made up the story of Cai Yi and Xiao Fengxian, and Jier developed the legendary story of how Cai Yi escaped from Yanjing with the help of Xiao Fengxian

"Songpa is gone, Songpa is gone!"

When he learned the bad news, Jiang Baili, who was far away in Sichuan, was in pain: "His greatest wish in life is to die on the battlefield, but now he can no longer fulfill this wish!" ”

Wang Hengyue also looked solemn: "Chief of Staff, mourn." I have ordered people to open mourning halls in various parts of Sichuan to mourn Mr. Songpo. God is jealous of talents, God is jealous of talents! ”

Jiang Baili cleaned up his sadness: "As soon as Cai Ye goes, Heng Shuai will no longer have to worry about anything, and he will be ready to do something against Yunnan and Guizhou, right?" ”

Wang Hengyue was silent, and then nodded slowly.

The unification of the southwest is a goal that has been set a long time ago, and the only scruple is Cai Yi.

Even if Cai Ye is seriously ill, he still has a great prestige in the southwest and the whole country, and one of his telegrams against it may cause great changes, which Wang Hengyue does not want to see!

Now that Cai Ye has gone, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Everything will continue according to the self-set

Wang Qinglu hurriedly walked in: "There has been a change in Zhejiang! ”

Zhejiang was incorporated into the Beiyang sphere of influence during the reign of Duan Qirui.

However, Lu Gongwang, the overseer of Zhejiang, could not control the overall situation at all.

In order to control Zhejiang, Duan Qirui promoted Xia Chao to the provincial police commissioner, and reassigned Lu Gongwang's henchman Fu Qiyong to the provincial capital police chief, so Zhejiang's police government has become nondescript, there is a police department, and there is a police department, although the police director is above the director, but there is no real power, Xia Chao thinks that this is a bright rise and a secret fall, of course, he is very dissatisfied, he has a deep relationship with the Zhejiang military circles, because of his instigation, Zhou Fengqi, chief of staff of the Zhejiang Supervision Bureau, Zhang Zaiyang, commander of the second division of Zhejiang, Zhu Weiliang, commander of the first brigade, Li Weizhang, commander of the second brigade, Yu Weidu, the commander of the mixed brigade, resigned from the Yanjing political axe, and this resignation was a collective strike. Yanjing is not allowed to call back.

Suddenly, the situation in Zhejiang is like a volcano, and it may erupt at any time.

On December 26, Fu Qiyong, the new director of the police department of the capital of Zhejiang Province, came to the hall to receive the matter, and when a banquet was held in the hall, a large number of people suddenly poured into the police department, and without saying a word, Fu Qiyong was arrested out of the gate, and Fu Qiyong was beaten all over his body in front of the police hall.

On this day, all the police in Hangzhou went on strike, and the telecommunications organs were guarded and monitored by armed personnel. Hangzhou officials issued a telegram of Lu Gongwang's resignation and said that the posts of Zhejiang overseer and governor had been handed over to Zhang Zaiyang and Zhou Fengqi, respectively. However, Zhang and Zhou expressed their reluctance to take over. People from all walks of life in Zhejiang publicly recommended Jiang Zungui, the former governor of Zhejiang, to succeed him as the overseer, but Jiang Zungui refused to go out of the mountain.

Lu Gongwang certainly did not resign voluntarily, he saw the seriousness of the situation in Hangzhou, knew that he was powerless to rectify, so he escaped from Hangzhou on Chinese New Year's Eve and sneaked to Jiaxing. Lu Gongwang was powerless in Zhejiang, and Duan Qirui was also deeply aware of this fact.

The situation in Zhejiang has become chaotic, and the situation in the whole country will soon become chaotic!
