Chapter 762: Don't play alone
"The gentry in Hunan are very smart, and someone must have guessed that my relationship with the Luo family is not so close. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is exactly what I want, and only then will they dare to take action against the provincial position. In order to keep this position, the Luo family has to pay a greater price. At least, what was promised to me, it had to be done. ”
Zhao Guanhou said as he turned the combination lock of the safe, and with a soft sound, the lock was opened. The safe, which is known as the latest technology, is just a large toy in Zhao Guanhou's view.
The gentry and Zhang Zongyao's subordinates, without knowing the password and not preparing to use explosives, had nothing to do with this Taixi creation, and they also thought that Zhao Guanhou was also right. In order to show trust, even the seal was not affixed, and Zhao Guanhou saved the matter of revealing the seal without a trace.
Zhang Zongyao never left this safe, and he also used a cart to drag it when he marched, regardless of how precious it was. The glorious results of its conquest in Hunan are stored in this iron box.
Even if Zhang Zongshun and Yu took away half of their belongings, the wealth in the safe is still considerable. Gold bars, jewellery and foreign currencies alone account for half of the position. The rest of the place is antique calligraphy and painting, as well as some securities.
Zhang Zongyao was very cautious and considered the possibility that he would be expelled from Hunan one day, so he did not buy much real estate in Hunan. The land deeds are also snatched by means, and they do not care, accounting for only a small part of the wealth.
Several passbooks are all folds of Fuso banks such as Zhengjin, and according to rough estimates, the deposits plus these properties are at least more than 30 million yuan. The Lu army did not even spend one-fifth of the cost on this expedition, which was really a very cost-effective business.
This kind of stealing the safe, of course, must be kept absolutely secret, and only the daughters of the Zhao family and Zou Xiurong were present. Seeing so much gold and silver, Du Xiaoxiao couldn't help but stick out his tongue, "It's still rich to be an overseer, much faster than opening a bank to make money." Brother-in-law, how do you plan to divide this money with the Hunan people? ”
"What points? When we were beating Tian Shuzhang, we seized a large amount of provincial banknotes, which Tian used to pay his subordinates. Zhang Zongyao's banknotes were printed indiscriminately, the amount of military salaries was almost 200 million, and it was more than enough to fill this cabinet with provincial banknotes. Real money, except for the title deed real estate, everything else is ours. Everyone has a share, everyone has benefits, killing such a fat pig is a good year. ”
Zou Xiurong said: "Fourth, although we have private seals and passbooks, it is difficult to withdraw the money from Fusang Bank. That's nearly eight million dollars, so you have to be prepared. ”
"No, this part of the money is not expected to be withdrawn, but the passbook is useful. Zhang Zongyao sold the Hunan mine and the Hunan No. 1 Textile Factory, and I asked the Hunan businessmen to pay for the redemption of these shares. The specific handling is the responsibility of Zhengyuan and Gonghe Bank. When the time comes, put the money away, as for the mines...... Use this passbook to pay. Let the Fuso people deal with the Fusang people, we don't care. ”
"Will the Fuso people admit this account?"
"If you don't admit it, you can't do it. When I arrived in Changsha, I sent soldiers to surround the mines, saying that the Fusang merchants were suspected of financing the Southern Army and undermining the principle of Fusang's neutrality. Sealing accounts and mines is the same as what we do in Hubei. After tossing and turning like this a few times, those businessmen couldn't do it without bowing their heads, and they had to do what we did. Fusang's military strength in Hunan is not strong, not to mention that the rice riots in the country are still emerging in an endless stream, and they can't see the hope of peace in the world, and they will not pick this time to turn their faces with the Gonghe. So this account, they will definitely admit it. ”
Su Hanzhi asked, "What are you going to do here in Hunan?" ”
"Let's go to Changsha first, and have fun for a few days. This time, I brought everyone out to play. Zhang Zongyao has been wiped out, and the Hunan People's Army, only Zhao Hengyi's first division and three brigades, plus some stragglers who are not in the climate, there is nothing to be afraid of. Although Gui Jun is nominally united with the Hunan Army, he is actually closer to me. What's more, there is still the face of the second sister-in-law, and there will be no fight, and then, it is time for us to enjoy. The Council, the Overseers, I'll have the right people. The local forces in Hunan want to play the game of unloading and killing donkeys, it is purely a pipe dream, I want to see who everyone has the last laugh. ”
Jiang Fengzhi clapped his hands and smiled: "This is good, this is good, I have always heard that there are many famous attractions in Changsha, I want to have a good time this time." Where is the place where Guan Gong fought Huang Zhong, I will go there to listen to Guan Huang against the knife. ”
Yang Yuzhu coughed, "Zhang Zongyao is the supervisor of the four provinces to suppress bandits, and he is the temporary overseer of Hunan, so he was killed like this, how can he explain to the Zhengfu side?" ”
"Zhengfu, there is my second brother to negotiate, and there are people from the Hunan petition group, don't worry, I don't believe it, I dare to turn my face with Shandong for a Zhang Zongyao. Let's get ready now, just have fun. With tens of millions of money in hand, everyone can buy whatever they want, and Zhang Zongyao will pay us the bill. ”
Duan Zhiquan fell ill again, this time, it may be more serious than the last time. I didn't manage the government for a few days, and I also submitted a letter of resignation. As in the past, Feng Yuzhang did not approve it, but was granted half a month's leave. Giving a country's president such a long leave will inevitably give rise to speculation about whether the president intends to reorganize the government.
In order to recuperate, the Anfu Club naturally did not go, and the entertainment in Iron Lion Hutong was temporarily stopped, and playing chess became the only current pastime for Duan Zongli, who was recuperating from illness. The only one who played chess with him was his own soul Xu Youzheng.
"Tie Shan, do you know why I like to play chess? Because of the rules, horses walk the day, like walking fields, and cannons across the mountains, this is an ancient method that has not changed for thousands of years, and no one can easily distinguish it. I am the general li, and I can't fly across the river, he is a big handsome, and the general can't go out of the Nine Palaces. There are no rules, this is the benefit of our Chinese chess, teaching people to understand reason. I have played Westerners' chess, and it is the transposition of the king rook, and what kind of small mutiny is the other son, it is just a pot of porridge, and there is no order. ”
"What Zhi Weng said is that every chess piece has its own rules, and each chess piece also has its own mission, and whoever dares to mess around has to be thrown out of the game. On the chessboard, each of us has only sixteen chess pieces in our hands, and it is a huge matter who has more and who has less. Which chess piece is related to the overall win or loss, whether it is a pawn or a rook, everything that comes out of chaos is to corrupt the overall situation. ”
Duan Zhiquan's horse stepped on one of Xu Youzheng's pawns. "It's a pity, the son himself made a mistake, and he can't blame him for being eaten. The chessboard has the rules of the chessboard, raise your hand and have no regrets, the son falls, no matter whether it is right or wrong, you can't regret it, this is the rule. This pawn is very important to you, but unfortunately it went to the wrong place, this is self-defeating. Even if you want to protect it, you can't. ”
"It's not that it can't be done, but it's that it can't be done. If I used a cart to watch this pawn, Chion's horse, I would not dare to move. However, Zhion was bound to use a chain of cannons to contain my car, and in order to keep these two sons, I had to add a son to it, and it became a scuffle. A scuffle, five or six sons fighting, the reason is for a pawn who went to a place where he shouldn't go, and it doesn't make sense. Chess is not such a way to play, the rules cannot be messed up, for the sake of the overall situation, you can only sacrifice this pawn. However, this does not mean that Zhion's horse is completely safe. The beauty of chess lies in the fact that one idle move may be a killer move after a dozen moves. Believe it or not, your horse will definitely not be able to keep this game of chess. ”
"Oh? Are you so confident in your chess prowess? ”
"It's not because of the confidence in chess, it's because of the rules. My pawn has made a mistake, and if this horse does not come to step on it, I will move it and let it return to the right path. This horse came out and stepped on the pawn in a good manner, which means that he was wrong. The pawn is wrong and wants to die, and the horse is wrong, so why not be eaten? ”
Duan Zhiquan smiled, "That's not easy, I have few pieces in this game of chess, if the horse is eaten again, the veteran will become a light pole marshal, with a big name and no real power." You say, will I give you this horse? ”
"Whether you want it or not, the horse will have to be lost, this is a sure thing. General Guang Pole, if An Sheng's is in the Nine Palaces, and the two soldiers are assisted, he may be able to support him for a while. But if you have to keep this horse, even this bare-bones veteran can't keep it. ”
While speaking, Xu Youzheng's car really ate the horse that had just stepped on the pawn. Duan Zhiquan is famous for playing chess, and he is not allowed to lose, and even his own son is too lazy to entertain his father's chess addiction. But this time, his horse was eaten, and instead of being annoyed, he laughed out loud
"Good! Well fed! Xiao Xu is worthy of being my Zhuge Liang, he is good at chess, and he is good at planning. The horse is finished, and then it's time for the general. Don't worry, walk slowly, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It doesn't matter how many children we lose, as long as the veteran is checkmate, it is worth it as many times as we lose! ”
The Hunan petition group and the petition from Meng Siyuan, the chief of communications, were sent to the presidential palace. The above lists Zhang Zongyao's perverse actions in Hunan, including colluding with the Fusang people, stealing and selling common property, embezzling private property, and arson and robbery. But these crimes taken together are not as useful as one crime: collusion with the Yugoslav army.
In the past, our President Feng Da was a staunch supporter of the North-South peace proposition. But since Duan Zhiquan resigned and threw his hat, he went south to supervise the division, and was blocked back by Ni Jichong. I had to respond to the story and support the war against Yugoslavia. After seeing the newspapers welcoming Zhang Dujun in the south, as well as the relevant photos, President Feng Da instantly became the most hard-line force to unify the northern and southern factions. For the Southwest Military Affairs Yuan as a grudge, speak out
"Treason with the enemy, this is a treachery! If such a person is not put to death, how can I have the law? What about military law? Shoot, must be shot! If such a wicked person cannot be sentenced to death, Hua Fu is determined to resign as president and never set foot in the righteous world for the rest of his life. ”
Anyway, Zhang Zongyao's people have been beaten into a sieve, and Feng Yuzhang is happy to poison the oath. Although he, the president, brought two divisions into Beijing, he was still held hostage by the Duan family everywhere, and he didn't know how many nests he had. Zhao Guanhou cut off Zhang Zongyao in Hunan, and Anhui solved Ni Jichong, which was equivalent to taking off Duan's two arms, and it was too late for him to be happy. Even if he doesn't have the guts to run into chaos and find some opportunity to disgust him, he will definitely not let it go.
In the presidential palace, Feng Yuzhang set up a banquet to warmly entertain the Hunan delegates and Meng Siyuan, who rushed to Beijing from the Xuzhou Railway Headquarters. He first asked about the situation of the railway, and listened to Meng Siyuan's introduction that everything was going well, and the prospects were very optimistic, even Duan Zhiquan fully supported the construction of the railway, and sent out all the salaries and grains to dispatch, and there were not enough manpower, and everyone in the headquarters would go to the front to work such a bold statement, thinking that the railway project would definitely be done.
Feng Yuzhang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Duan Zhiquan's gourd, and it was obvious that in order to fight the south, he was eager to stop the salaries of all the staff of the main government in the capital and divert them to military salaries. How can it be good, and you have to build a railway? But the general nodded his head, how could he be left behind, so he had to go along with it, as long as it was necessary to build the railway, he would not fall behind.
After finishing the matter, Feng Yuzhang asked again: "Chief Meng, do you have any contact with Guanhou?" How is he doing in Hunan? The current situation of the Republic is known to General Meng Chief. We are in favor of peace, and since Zhang Zongyao has been ambushed, next, we should consider peace as the precious. ”
Meng Siyuan was stunned, he didn't understand that Zhang Zongyao was guilty of a heinous crime because of Tongnan, and he had to die. Why is it that the real southern army should value peace. If so, what is Zhang Zongyao's sin? However, he has been in business for a long time, so he will not really say this question, and said with a smile
"Guanhou just asked me to convey the opinions of the Hunan people on my behalf, and didn't say much else. I believe that he can understand what the great president means. What's more, Guanhou also told me before that he does not support fighting a civil war. ”
"That's good, that's good. It is not good to fight a civil war, but it is not good not to fight it. If these territories fall into the hands of the Southern military, the greater their power, the worse it will be for us. A medium scale, I think the crown will be able to master. Chief Meng, although you are the chief of the Ministry of Communications, you should be concerned about military and political affairs, and you should be asked about them. Sitting in Xuzhou, it should also strengthen ties with Hunan, and the telegraph expenses do not need to be provincial, and the government will reimburse all of them. In short, we must find out, what is Guanhou doing? ”
The news of Zhao Guanhou was praised by the newspapers before, and what Jingli could grasp was at most a delay in time. Feng Yuzhang also calculated the feasibility of his own people entering Hunan according to the newspaper. However, since Zhang Zongyao was shot, there was no report on Zhao Guanhou's whereabouts in the newspapers, and Feng Yuzhang couldn't help but suspect that Zhao Guanhou, as the founder of the Overseer Army, was unlikely to turn his back from the north to the south. But what is his intention to play missing now? himself, how to hold him.
