What Shen Jinying didn't know was that Yuan Keyun's attitude and determination to take out a loan were already expected by Zhao Guanhou. Prussian aid www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion was in fact already going on two years ago. The signing of this agreement can only be regarded as an after-the-fact recognition, or it is called a statement of nomination.

What Prussia cared about was not whether the Communists were willing to recognize Prussia's interests in Shandong at the diplomatic level. Even if the Gonghe did not approve it, with Zhao Guanhou nodding, no one would stop Prussia's plundering in Shandong. What they care about is the attitude of the Communists towards Prussia, and even who the Commonwealth will be on in the future changes of Tessie.

Of course, Zhao Guanhou did not want the Concord to be in hostility with Prussia now, after all, there were still some things that he wanted that he had not obtained. What he wanted to promote when he entered Beijing this time was the signing of this treaty, and at the same time dump the pot of betrayal on the head of the Gonghe Zhengfu. Yuan Keyun's reaction was an important factor in the plan.

Of course, this link may not necessarily be filled by Yuan Keyun, it can be Zhang San and Li Si, or it can be a certain person, but after the White Wolf robbery incident two years ago, Zhao Guanhou can be sure that someone will rush out and be this urgent vanguard.

As the clouds of war over Taixi gathered, the great powers were worried that China would take advantage of the opportunity to rise, the arms embargo on China would become stricter, and it would be difficult for China to buy arms from Taixi. Coupled with the financial constraints of the Communists, the purchase of weapons in the past two years was limited, and the speed of gun renewal was much slower than in the pre-Jin era.

After the robbery incident in Henan by the White Wolf, the existence of the Model Army has become an open secret from underground. The provincial overseers knew that the President intended to train a Royal Guard.

At that time, the six towns of Beiyang, as a new army, replaced the defense battalion and the green battalion and became the pride of the sky. If the model army is successfully trained, then the old Beiyang Six Towns will probably also step on the road of defense battalions and become obsolete waste.

The negative attitude of the provinces towards the tax relief was the way of self-preservation of the overseers, and through financial obstacles, Yuan Weiting could not train the army. Constrained by military spending and equipment, in the past two years, the so-called model army has remained a castle in the air and has not been implemented. There is less than one regiment that is really organized and trained into an army, and it is not even a shelf unit.

Since the arms of these divisions were allocated by the President, the provincial overseers could not restrain them, and Prussia's huge loans were also directly negotiated with the Bank of Communications. Such generous conditions are like putting a cake coated with arsenic in front of a hungry beggar. Even if you know it's poisonous, you may swallow it. Yuan Keyun is such a drug user.

He may not be able to see that agreeing to such a treaty will have serious consequences. But what he cared more about was that as long as the treaty was concluded and Prussia's funds, weapons, and even instructors were in place, his dream of military power could come true. Just like Shen Jinying's contact with Zhao Guanhou, Yuan Keyun's experience of studying in Prussia to study military affairs made him remember the mode of Prussian imperial power in the army.

Tessie's observations, coupled with the history of palace battles in China for thousands of years, made him understand a truth. His status as the eldest son can only be regarded as a powerful barrier to the throne, but lameness is the biggest burden. The two offset each other, and he did not have an advantage in the face of several brothers, and only the army was the biggest capital for his ascension to the throne.

It is precisely because of the soldiers in his hands that his father can drive the little emperor into the Forbidden City, and with soldiers in his hands, he can also sweep away the obstacles blocking the road of the dragon chair. As for what the price is, he doesn't care about it, or rather, in order to achieve the goal, he is willing to pay any price.

When the hunter was full of joy and watched the prey walk into the trap, he never thought that a shotgun had been quietly aimed at the back of his head. After Zhao Guanhou heard Shen Jinying's words, he was not surprised but rejoiced, his own game was almost completed, and only the end was left.

"Sister, I understand what you are worried about, but please rest assured, things will not be as you imagined. In the negotiations with Prussia, I negotiated for my brother-in-law and for the sake of the joint talks, not for myself. I can not be the overseer of Shandong at any time, and I can also be inappropriate as the patrol envoy of the two rivers. Give me a sum of money to study abroad, I can't ask for it. Of course, I have selfish intentions in this matter, and there is no need to lie between us. When the thing is done, the Prussians will reward me with a kickback, which is large enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life, so what reason do I have to refuse? But if the boss wants to get something out of it, it's that he thinks too much. The army belongs to the president, and neither he nor anyone else can take it away. What is the difference between the president's things and my sister's things? The boss is at most a maid with a key, and the head of the house doesn't care about the accounts, who can control the accounts, or it depends on the president's intentions. If the president hands over the army to the boss, then in fact, it can explain a lot. ”

Shen Jinying also understood that her focus had deviated. We should not focus on whether this army is organized or not, but on whose hands it controls. She shook her head, "Hanyun's temperament can't lead the soldiers." You say, even if I get the Royal Guards, what is the use of him if he can't control it? ”

"He can't control it, isn't there still me? If the president is willing to give the talisman to Hanyun and the generals, I can find a way. In short, don't get involved at first, and wait until the fruit is ripe, and then let's talk about ownership. The fruits obtained by farmers planting the land, working hard for a year, catching insects and fertilizing, and watering with blood and sweat do not necessarily belong to themselves. Instead of being a farmer who works hard, why not be a free landlord, and wait until the melon is ripe and falling, and then we will take it over, isn't it happy? ”

Shen Jinying sneered, "That's right, but I didn't understand it, I'm a woman, I think about things, and I'm always not thoughtful enough, so I still have to help me with my staff." Guanhou, don't worry, as long as there is a sister, there will be no loss for you. This time I went to Beijing to pay my respects, and you were the only one who was willing to come, and the president was very happy. As for yourself, you should also fight for some anger, behave well, manage what should be managed, and don't ask what should not be managed. Sister will give you the bottom, the president said that in the past few years, the people's hearts have been broken, and people have become more aware of the rules and do not pay attention to etiquette. The president must now set rules and pay attention to etiquette, like some practices in the past, and he must be restrained now, otherwise, he will inevitably suffer. Sister knows that you are a smart person, you don't need to beat the drum, you do it yourself, I will ensure your good life, but it is still to come. ”

The meeting lasted until noon, and by the time he returned to his accommodation in the afternoon, a visitor had been waiting for a long time. It was the counsellor of the Albion Legation, who was very polite, but in terms of attitude, it could be felt that it was not as cordial as before.

After the meeting, he only said coldly, "Your Excellency the Minister hopes that the crown commander will appreciate the glory and go to the embassy to talk about it." There were no more superfluous words, Zhao Guanhou didn't say anything, just smiled and got into the car with him, and went straight to Dongjiaomin Lane.

Tessie's bloody rain and bloody wind, for a moment or three, still can't blow the vast sea. For most people in China, they are not aware of what the assassination of the crown prince has to do with them. For them, the fluctuation of prices and the change in the income from work are far more important than these. In the capital, the most eye-catching thing at the moment is the longevity of the president, and the second is the feast of the God of Wealth.

The so-called God of Wealth Banquet was a banquet led by Liang Shiyi in the Huixian Hall opened by the former Shogunate Chef Zhang Xiangtao, the former governor of Huguang. The participants included the Black Tiger Ye Gongzhuo, who was whipped by the spirit officer, and the two female gods of wealth, Jensen and Chen Lenghe.

The purpose of the banquet is naturally inseparable from fundraising, which is also the only way for Liang Shiyi to turn over. Today, when the president is respected, the silver products printed with the president's portrait are naturally the most powerful magic weapon. As long as he can obtain enough magic weapons to solve his internal problems, no matter how many sins he has, he can turn his merits into sins and turn danger into relief.

At the time of the staggering of plans, Liang Shiyi was like a river, preaching his economic policy and promising the benefits that could be given. Chen Lenghe's face was expressionless, and Jensen was smiling on business.

It is not an easy task to maintain a common fiscal situation. At present, the union has almost reached the point of embarrassment that there is nothing to sell and nothing to borrow. Most of the roads, mines, and customs have been mortgaged to bank groups in various countries for loans. Gonghe controls part of the mine, and the other is the railway in Liang Shiyi's hand, these are the lifeblood of the transportation department, and he is unwilling to hand it over.

But Jenson's goal is clearly that.

"The debts of your government have reached an extremely dangerous point, and if you continue to lend, you will bear huge risks. Based on the friendly relations between the two sides, I can risk lending 10 million yuan, Your Excellency, you should know what 10 million yuan means in the current situation. However, what I'm asking for is not a future return, but current permissions. The iron ore in Hebei must be mortgaged to the Huabi Bank. Before the debts are repaid, all the production is at the disposal of the Warby Bank, and this part of the income is used to repay the interest on the loan. In addition, in view of the financial situation of the Kyoai Shofu, in order to secure the loan, I need your country to use a railway with sufficient capacity as collateral......"

Chen Lenghe said coldly: "Before talking about loans, I think we should first explain the issue of the last issuance of public bonds, and also talk about the repayment of old debts of the government......

"Whether Liang Caishen can turn over this time depends on whether the God of Wealth banquet is successful." In the Yanyin Building, Shen Jinying said to Su Hanzhi: "Although the president claims to be rich all over the world, in fact, he is very short of money. It's not that we're crying poor, it's really a lack of national use, which is also something that everyone knows. Now, whoever can get the money is the loyal servant of the number one. People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of fat, Shandong has been in good condition in recent years, I don't know how many people have hot eyes, and want to dig a piece of meat from Zhengyuan or Huabi. If Liang Caishen fails to raise donations, his situation will certainly be unfavorable, and Guanhou's side, I am afraid that there will be some problems. ”

Su Hanzhi was no longer the little woman she was at the beginning, and she was not greatly surprised by Shen Jinying's words, she only smiled slightly, "Sister Ying has always known the loyalty of the crown marquis, and she will definitely defend him, right?" ”

"That's what I said, but I have to be given a place to speak so that I can speak well." She looked at Feng Xi on the side, and her beautiful eyes turned, "Hanzhi, you girl, I heard that you are very good at cooking?" ”

Due to the fact that people from various provinces have entered Beijing to celebrate their birthdays, although there are eunuchs who are shy, there are also many tycoons with thousands of dollars, and the business in the eight major alleys is particularly lively. Shaanxi Lane Fengyun class, because of the red girl Xiao Afeng, attracted a large number of foreign guests.

It's just destined that they will be disappointed, and Cai Feng, the governor of Yunnan, is always here with Miss Xiao Afeng. It is said that because of this, the husband and wife quarreled several times, and Mrs. Cai was angry and wanted to divorce and return to her parents' house.

Compared with Wang Geng at the beginning, whether it is appearance, bearing, or talent, Cai is far better than Wang. is based on the title of Mei Zhoulang, and it will be changed from Wang to Cai, as for Xiao Afeng, she naturally became Xiao Qiao's lady.

It is also reasonable that the young and handsome Zhou Lang is more favored by the little Afeng girl than the pot-bellied or decrepit celebrity. It was the Fengyun class that became Zhou Langxiang's nest, and it was impossible for Miss Xiao Qiao to see other guests again.

In the room, a handsome young and handsome man full of heroic spirit was sitting opposite Liang Rengong, and Xiao Afeng told the two of them the rumors he heard from his sisters. Liang Ren said fairly: "It seems that the monkey head can't wait, and he has become more and more like an emperor rather than a president." This birthday banquet is not an exaggeration to say that it is the emperor's longevity. ”

"It's not the only one." Cai Feng has an old disease in his throat, and although he has been treated by a famous doctor in the capital, his voice is still very low.

Judging from the news from Dongjiaomin Lane, it seems that there was a secret contact between him and Prussia. Although we do not know the content of the negotiations, this kind of secrecy itself shows that they have a ghost in their hearts. This peace treaty is bound to be detrimental to national sovereignty and may even be an unprecedented traitorous clause. It is said that Albiang's minister, Zhu Erdian, had a great conflict with Zhao Guanhou for this, which must have been Albiang's belief that his interests had been lost. The monkey head is mad, and in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he has disregarded the interests of the country and the nation. ”

Liang Rengong nodded, "If the heavens want him to perish, they will make him crazy." This birthday banquet can be seen as a group of demons dancing, and it is also the last banquet for these clowns. Once he takes that step, it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe, not only him, but even the entire Beiyang Group, will collapse. It is only at that point that true hope comes. What we need to do for ourselves is to preserve our useful bodies and prepare for the great cause of the future. ”

He looked at Xiao Afeng, Cai Feng shook his head, "It's okay, Afeng promised to do his best to help me." It's a pity that I have nothing to reward her. ”

is different from what everyone imagined, Cai Feng actually doesn't have much money, and his small savings are all used in the army, and his wife is very nervous when she returns to her hometown, and she has no money to pay mediocre beauties. Xiao Afeng smiled, "I'm not with you for your money, as long as General Songpa can clear the clouds and regain the sunshine, Xiao Afeng is broken, what's the pity?" ”

Liang Rengong nodded and said: "Heroine, don't let me have eyebrows, Liang admires!" The monkey's demon feast, we don't have to join in the fun, just see what tricks he can play! ”

In the Spring Lotus Zhai, the president's longevity banquet is underway. Except for normal birthday gifts. Zhao Guanhou's aunt and wife, who is also the captain of the Shandong Women's Police Force, Feng Xi, deliberately changed back into her old clothes, walked into the kitchen, and personally presented a good dish to the president to congratulate.

The people who served in the kitchen were originally the people in the imperial dining room of the palace, but they were borrowed by the president to accept the birthday banquet. There is a difference between men and women, and naturally they cannot be inside, but can only wait outside. The kitchen, like officialdom, is a place of great rules and dignity, although women cook at home, but in the real high-end kitchen, there is no such thing as a woman in charge.

Having a group of celebrity chefs wait for a woman is undoubtedly humiliating for them. If it weren't for the prestige of the crown handsome, they wouldn't even mind using some small means to make this woman understand whose world the kitchen is. Rao is like this, these people are smoking cigarettes outside, and when they look at the time, they don't have the mentality of watching a good show or looking for faults.

When the first dish was brought out by the guards, an old cook stepped forward and said, "Wait, let me see what the hell this is doing." I have to make it clear when I look back, I didn't do it, I don't carry this black pot for others......" He said as he stepped forward, but when he saw the appearance of this dish clearly, the expression on his face changed instantly, his body took two steps back, and his expression became extremely strange.

If he can work in the imperial dining room, he is well-informed, and he will not be surprised by a dish, and his colleagues will not think that he is shocked by his cooking skills. It wasn't until the guards left that they came around and whispered to ask, but the old cook shook his head, "Don't listen to it, it's sick in your heart." I shouldn't have looked at that just now, didn't I have enough to eat, what am I looking at it for? ”

The person who served the food had already received Shen Jinying's instructions, and when the food was served, he violently transported the middle qi, and the sound of singing the dish echoed at the birthday banquet, "The Liangjiang Patrol Envoy, the Guanwu General, and the Imperial Robe of the President!"
