Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Dian Army Is Coming
Wang Chengji was naturally overjoyed when he heard that Qiao Yu promised to help him solve the crisis of the money bank and the ticket number, after the news spread, the people of Syria were also immediately full of good feelings for this governor, and the reason for the chaos in Syria was that the Kuomintang moved the hard-earned money of these people, and now it can be saved, so it is naturally very happy.
Immediately, Qiao Yu followed Wang Chengji into the Syrian Mansion, while pursuing the people's army, and at the same time to restore the security of the Syrian Mansion, and Wang Chengji and others started to count the losses of the money bank, and they were busy for most of the day, and the statistical results also came out, this time all the money houses lost a total of nearly three million taels of silver, but the Syrian army and the people snatched back about 2.3 million taels from the people's army, and the actual loss was about 700,000 taels, and this loss was still within the range of bearing.
However, the more troublesome is the heavy loss of manpower in the bank, there are six shopkeepers who died directly in the conflict, many bookkeepers, young men have fled, and it will take some effort to restore the function of the bank, and the most important thing in the financial industry is a confidence, there is this kind of chaos, the people's confidence is missing, and they will immediately face a run frenzy.
Therefore, Wang Chengji was very anxious when he looked at the results of the statistics, and he didn't know if the governor could fill such a big gap.
"Mr. Wang, this loss is indeed very large, especially the loss of personnel caused by the inability to immediately resume the exchange, and the people will lose confidence because of this, and the loss of confidence will cause a large-scale collapse of the ticket number bank, the situation is very urgent!"
"Yes, Lord Governor, these harmful Kuomintang are really hateful, originally they were still shouting slogans for the country and the people, but now they seem to be deceiving, they are all a bunch of bullies who eat people and don't spit out bones!" Wang Chengji was extremely resentful, but Qiao Yu was smiling.
"Mr. Wang, I don't think there are all bad people in the people's army, maybe there is some misunderstanding this time, let's solve the problem in front of me first, I decided to deposit 500,000 taels of military salary in the money village of Syria first, and at the same time the money village will help purchase 200,000 taels of silver military supplies!"
Wang Chengji was ecstatic when he heard it, what the money village lacks now is confidence, and the existence of Governor Qiao's general salary in the Xufu money village is undoubtedly a recognition of the credit of the money village, which is more useful than anything else, it is conceivable that the people will not only not come to run again, but may even deposit the money in the money bank, I didn't see that the governor Qiao has saved the money, will he allow his money to go down the drain, with this kind of thinking, most of the money in the Xufu will be able to survive the crisis.
"Thank you Governor Gao Yi, the villain is grateful, you are really the reborn parent of the Xufu Qianzhuang ticket number! I have given you a salute. Wang Chengji was about to kowtow as he spoke, and Qiao Yu hurriedly held him up.
"Mr. Wang, I am the governor of Sichuan, for the sake of the people of Sichuan, this is what should be done, but this time it also exposed the serious shortcomings of the operation of the money bank, the capital is small, the ability to resist risks is too weak, I have sent a telegram to the deputy speaker Wang Dongcheng, he will soon come to Syria to discuss how to solve the problem of the ticket number, my opinion is to be able to form a large bank, follow the operation methods of foreign banks such as HSBC, expand strength, enrich capital, and be able to resist risks. It can also promote the industrial development of Sichuan, which is a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone! ”
As soon as Wang Chengji heard this, he immediately understood, the emotional family is not to help himself in vain, but to get benefits, but now he has to compromise at this point, and Wang Chengji is not exclusive to the establishment of a bank, but China's ticket number money is too scattered, and the mustard between each other is relatively deep, so several attempts have failed, and it may be a good thing to be able to use Qiao Yu's power to set up a bank.
Luzhou, Syria fell into the hands of Qiao Yu, those who know the situation in Sichuan know that southern Sichuan is only afraid that it will fall into the hands of the new governor, southern Sichuan and Yucheng are prosperous places, with these two places as capital, Qiao Yu's position as the governor of Sichuan can no one shake it, the situation in Sichuan tends to be clear, but it is a person who is in a hurry, it is Cai Yi, the governor of Yunnan who has just formed a military and political axe.
At this time, Cai Ye had just ascended the throne of the governor of Yunnan, and was full of ambition, but he immediately encountered the biggest problem, that is, the problem of money, Yunnan is located in the southwest frontier, the military is very strong, there are more than 30,000 people, but it is relatively poor, and the province alone cannot supply the needs of the army, so the first priority in front of Cai Ye is to feed this army, and Sichuan is undoubtedly the best choice.
However, the problem is that the establishment of the military and political axe in Sichuan is much faster than that of the Yunnan army, and it is still relatively jealous of Qiao Yu and Cai Yi, Qiao Yu was still unknown before the Wuchang Shouyi, but immediately after the Wuchang Shouyi, the Sichuan military and political axe was established, and the most important thing is that the establishment of this military and political axe is not hindered without any obstruction, it is completely a matter of course, Cai Yi as an extremely smart person naturally knows the meaning of this, it can only be said that Qiao Yu has an unparalleled influence on the local area, and rashly sending troops to Sichuan will definitely annoy this one!
"Let's discuss it and see if we should send troops to Sichuan?"
"Governor, sending troops to Sichuan is an inevitable choice, or what the brothers eat and drink, I think we should send troops as soon as possible, now Qiao Yu's action is not fast, he only occupies eastern and southern Sichuan, and his foothold is not stable, it is a good opportunity to start, once he unifies Sichuan, there is really no chance!" It was Li Gengen who spoke, he was the chief of the military and political affairs of the Yunnan Military and Political Axe, the leader of the Yunnan Alliance, and his power was not small, even Cai Yi respected him very much, Li Gengen had a grudge against Qiao Yu for a long time, and he knew that it was Qiao Yu's single-handed suppression that made the revolutionary party in Sichuan unable to develop at all, so he tried his best to fight the main battle.
"I also agree with sending troops, but Qiao Yu has made many speeches and talked about local autonomy, and we will definitely be strongly opposed by the other party when we enter Sichuan, and the power in his hands is not weak, I am a little worried!" Cai Ye said.
"Governor, Huang Xing and Li Yuanhong have sent a distress telegram, now the three towns of Wuhan are fighting very hard, I think we can enter Sichuan in the name of aiding Hubei, let Qiao Yu make way for us, and the middle end of Sichuan is still there, Zhao Erfeng is still there, once we enter Sichuan, in the name of dealing with these Manchu remnants, we must stay in southern Sichuan, especially the salt wells in the Fushun area, must be in our hands, otherwise the Yunnan army will not be able to maintain it!" This time it was Xie Ruyi who spoke, and he was also an important figure in Yunnan's reading power, and the excuse he put forward was very appealing to Cai Yi.
"Okay, just do what the young minister said, I'll send a telegram now, and you can quickly form the first echelon and quickly enter southern Sichuan!"
The Yunnan army discussed the matter properly, Xie Ruyi, Li Hongxiang and others were busy, and at the same time, Cai Yi issued a telegram, announcing the Yunnan army's plan to aid Hubei, and at the same time telegraphing the Sichuan side to provide roads.
After Qiao Yu learned about the electricity, he knew that he was going to come after all, although he admired Cai Ye very much, but now the two of them have their own forces, and this conflict is inevitable.
"No matter what non-commissioned officer Sanjie you are, as long as you dare to touch my territory, I will fight with you!"
Qiao Yu had already made up his mind to touch the Dian army, and immediately issued a telegram to strongly oppose the Dian army's entry into Sichuan.
Qiao Yu said three meanings in the telegram, first, Yunnan is located in the frontier, and the national defense task is important, if the Yunnan army goes north, there is a slight loss of the country, so up to the governor of Cai Yi, down to the ordinary soldiers, they are all national sinners!
Second, Sichuan is still in the midst of war, and if the Yunnan army rashly enters Sichuan, it is very easy to cause misunderstanding among the Sichuan people, cause conflicts, and hurt the harmony of the two families.
If the Third Yunnan Army wants to aid Hubei, it can go directly to Hubei through Guizhou, which is more suitable than Sichuan.
In the end, Qiao Yu also issued a solemn warning, Sichuan has the ability to solve the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and also has the ability to complete the revolution, no one can use any excuse to destroy the autonomy of the Sichuan people, and at the same time, the Manchu Qing has not been overthrown.
