Chapter 373: Explosion (2) The third watch is over!
Chapter 373 Explosion (2) The third watch is complete!
@@@@
Martial law! Curfew!
Not long ago, Tokyo was noisy and noisy, and the sea breeze blew the petals of the flowers and then trampled them into mud by the cold military boots.
After the stalemate of the Saionji Cabinet, which claimed to be an adherence to democracy, it took the lead in sacrificing cold bayonets, and the Metropolitan Police Department and the marines transferred from Yokohama under the control of the Cabinet quickly spread throughout the city, and the white uniform, which was once regarded as the glory of the country, was now extremely dazzling. Whether it is Saionji Temple or Hara Kei, or even any of the Constitutional Council bigwigs, they understand that this is the last chance to save democratization and Japan! Forced to helpless, they began to adopt strict control measures, the public assembly of more than five people will be arrested, the army must not leave the station, the factory must be immediately resumed, a 373 explosion (2) 3 watch is completed! Another officer who had participated in the previous rallies and incited the people was quarantined and censored, and in order to save the ruined empire, they rolled up their sleeves and began to fight desperately, regardless of the image they had accumulated for half their lives.
Using the public opinion in their hands, a ** propaganda offensive was also launched rapidly, and the big chaebols behind it took the initiative to open warehouses at lower prices in order to seize this opportunity and provide more livelihood supplies to the people. What's even funnier is that the plebeian faction led by Hara Kei simply proposed that Yang Qiu should be emulated, and forcibly demanded that the landlords and feudal lords reduce taxes and rents to appease the increasingly restless people. The government apparatus began to spin rapidly, and no one knew where it would take Japan. Sailors patrolling with loaded guns everywhere, and in order to avoid them, Zhouming Okawa, who wore glasses, almost walked around half the city before he came to a seemingly ordinary house, and it was the leader of the radical faction who opened the door for him.
Walking into this dark and damp hut, there was a suffocating atmosphere, Aoki Nobujun took dozens of young officers who had returned from North Korea to wipe their guns, and his fanatical eyes were all focused on Okawa Zhouming who walked in. As a translator and general officer of the Army General Staff, he has always been well-informed and familiar with several Chinese, and immediately told him about the situation outside, and when he heard that the explosion in Chapter 373 (2) and 3 was completed! When the War Department and the Shan Shan faction did not react after many officers were examined, many officers were a little discouraged.
Aoki Xuanchun is even more secretly annoyed, when is it?! Do those guys really want to watch the empire being led to the point of no return by national thieves? He stood up excitedly and boosted his morale: "I can't wait any longer!" Those traitors must be trying to destroy our army, weaken our power and consolidate their dominance! They also joined forces with those self-proclaimed high navies to trample on our power to fight! We swore before we set off that we would rather give our lives for the sake of the Empire, and now is the time! I believe that as long as we take action, then we will definitely get the support of the majority of people and completely destroy those so-called liberal traitors! We are the only ones who can lead the empire back to prosperity and power, and reconquer the continent! β
These incendiary words quickly re-energized the low morale, and the bayonet was quickly snapped onto the tip of the gun, and every bullet was polished.
The theorist Kita Yihui looked a little pale at this time, grabbed Aoki's hand and asked, "Aoki-kun, where should we start?" Although Aoki Nobujun inspired everyone's morale, he was also a little confused, so he looked at Shuaki Okawa, who was in charge of delivering information and news.
"You should go to the Guards Division first." Okawa Shuming was worthy of being the best candidate for the tandem, and quickly came up with a plan: "The Guards Division suffered heavy losses in the war, and it did not receive any funds to rebuild this winter, and even the replenishment of recruits and the distribution of pensions have not yet begun, so many officers and soldiers participated in the struggle. As long as we can contact them to work together, we will have enough power to control the Prime Minister's Office, the National Assembly, and the Metropolitan Police Department. As long as we take action to get rid of those national thieves, we will get the support of the vast majority of people! β
At his suggestion, the plan of action was quickly finalized, and Yoshio Shinozuka, who was very familiar with the Guards Division, contacted the Army alumni inside, while Aoki Nobuyuki returned to the War Department to seek support, while Okawa Shuaki continued to act as an intelligence and liaison officer, and the plan was set for the day when Saionji Kobo would report to the Imperial Palace in ten days.
When Aoki Xuanchun and Bei Yihui and others planned "big things", Yang Qiu also ushered in a milestone in the development of the Republic of China.
Xu Xiujun's special car arrived on time at the Shanghai Jiujiang Road Stock Exchange, which was one of the most important things he did after becoming the governor of the central bank, which was to pinch together all the small Chinese business exchanges that were originally scattered in teahouses and restaurants. With the conclusion of the Sino-British Shanghai Tariff Agreement last year, the largest Chinese commercial exchange originally established in the public concession was also handed over to the Republic of China government, and finally merged with the end of last year. On the occasion of the New Year, the government of the Republic of China officially announced that it would be renamed the Shanghai Stock Exchange of the Republic of China, which was supervised by the Central Bank of the Republic of China.
After the deepening of the European war, various commodity transactions in the Republic of China market began to be active, and the domestic financial industry after the rubber boom gradually recovered with the establishment of a state-level trading center, and there are currently more than 50 stocks officially listed on the exchange, and the number of traders has reached more than 100, involving tens of millions of funds every day, and there has been a bit of a sense of the capital market booster of the Republic of China.
Today, Xu Xiujun's task is to accompany Yang Qiu to witness the listing of two of the largest private enterprises in China, namely the two major industrial groups in Hanyang, Hubei Province and Chongqing. According to the previous induction and statistics, Yang Qiu owns nearly seventy percent of the shares of the two companies, and the remaining three percent will be used for financing this time except for a small part of the private equity. The news that the two companies are about to go public immediately attracted a lot of attention, needless to say, the largest military and civilian consortium in China, the annual transaction volume is more than 100 million large enterprises, even if only 30% of the share capital still reaches 6600 people, not to mention that the boss behind it is currently the strongest political figure in China and even Asia, so it really attracts a lot of people with some family background to buy.
The crowd that almost burst the door shows that these two new stocks are highly sought after, and there are even many foreign faces in them, because Yang Qiu occupies most of the shares and does not have to worry about being acquired, so the issuance does not limit the nationality of the buyer, only the number and share of foreign citizens to buy.
Yang Qiu and Xu Xiujun entered the exchange through the back door, and unlike the advanced electronic exchanges of later generations, the current stock exchange market is still composed of extremely primitive telephones, blackboards and chalk, and traders wear uniform vests like Wall Street, and a sturdy iron fence separates the stock sales office from the lobby. His arrival drew the warmest applause, and Xu Xiujun and the general manager of the exchange handed him a wooden hammer wrapped in red silk.
With the sound of the bell, Yang Qiu rang the gong for the opening of the Shanghai Stock Exchange on May 1, 1915.
When the door opened, the crowd that had been waiting for a long time almost collapsed the counter, and the police who rushed to maintain order were sweating profusely. Perhaps due to the impact of Commander Yang's presence, after the market opened, almost all stocks had large buy orders, and the prices were quickly refreshed one by one when the phone rang. In just one morning, 66 million shares of the two companies with a denomination of one yuan were sold out. I was elated when I bought it, I stomped my feet and beat my chest late, and I stared at the huge factory area of the Jiangnan factory and secretly wondered when this would be listed. In order to tie up Yang Qiu, many landlords and tycoons who made a fortune by collecting land rents in Zhongjiang and Zhejiang and couldn't find a suitable investment path bought registered stocks in bundles in order to tie up with Yang Qiu.
As Xu Xiujun said, there is indeed no shortage of money in China. The astronomical wealth that has accumulated in the Morireng cellars for hundreds of years is enough to buy a few Japans! The Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank have successively issued a total of 500 million yuan of special gold bonds and 1.5 billion yuan of state bonds, and a total of 357 tons of gold and 2,370 tons of silver have been withdrawn from the market (one yuan = 1.4 grams of gold = 50 grams of silver, and the number of bonds is not all purchased with silver).
According to the forecast of the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank, the total wealth hidden in the private sector is about 6,000 tons of gold and 40 billion yuan of dead money! This is the benefit of forced reunification, so that the foundation left by the late Qing Dynasty has hardly been destroyed at all.
According to the plan of Yang Qiu and the Ministry of Finance, hard currencies such as gold and US dollars earned by several companies under his name will be temporarily stored for the end of the European war, and the 66 million yuan obtained from this financing will be used for the two groups to continue to expand, including the establishment of the Sino-French joint venture "Hanyang-Schneider Iron and Steel Company" that has just reached an agreement, Xinyang Aircraft Factory, Jiujiang Vehicle Factory, Fengtian extra-large tractor and truck factory, Construction and expansion of a number of large-scale projects such as Guangxi Aluminum Mine and Qinzhou Bay Shipyard.
Of course, this kind of thing doesn't need Yang Qiu's specific deployment, not to mention that Lu Bicheng, a strong woman, is strategizing behind her back, Miao Luo and Rui Yao have gradually become golden abacus under his influence. His dream is to use the resources in his hands and a few large enterprises as leaders, use the government proposed by him every five years to put forward an industrial plan, spend two to three five-year plans to improve the country's basic industries, and then gradually push these enterprises into the stock market in batches, bring the country into an era of industrial welfare for the whole people, and gradually solve the idea of small farmers who make a fortune from the land.
On the night he returned to Nanjing after walking out of the digital storm brought by Xu Xiujun, Yang Qiu received a report from the Security Bureau.
Fang Rui stood behind him with a zombie face like a ghost shadow, he was born with a fair complexion, no matter how wind and sun he was exposed, he would not change, every time he came to report, he could envy the dead Miao Luo and a few other women, which also made Yang Qiu feel like a vampire count who didn't bask in the sun all year round. Today is an exception, there is a rare smile on his face, and when he opens the door, Miao Luo, who has just returned from Hanyang, thinks that he has seen the wrong person.
"Judging from all indications, Junxuan Aoki and Kita Yihui and others have been doing it for a few days!"
Every move of Japan, the newly emerging "little overlord" 20 years ago, was enough to affect the balance of power in Asia, so after the two returned to the office, Song Ziqing, Cai Yi and Feng Guozhang, the three cores of the General Staff, were also called, and even Tang Shaoyi and Li Yuanhong hurried to learn the news. After listening to the report, Cai Yi, whose political talent is far inferior to the military, was a little confused, touched his chin and said: "I wonder if the current situation in Japan can be calmed down as long as a friend from Shan County comes out to say a word, why is there no voice from him for a long time?" β
"Matsuha, you're wrong." Feng Guozhang has always been the most low-key among the three heroes of Beiyang before, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand politics, and who can mix Beiyang and Manchu officialdom doesn't have a few brushes, and said with a smile: "If my guess is right, I'm afraid this old guy is pretending to be sick." β
"Faking illness?" As soon as Cai Ye spoke up, Tang Shaoyi also nodded: "Most of the responsibility for this defeat is due to the haste and lack of response of the Japanese Army, which has led to many people being dissatisfied with the power of the feudal lords led by the Choshu Domain, so Japan's domestic politics has reached a time when it is on the verge of reshuffling." If he stands up now, then all the spearheads will be aimed at him, and no matter how capable he is, he will end up in seclusion! So he has been silent and pretending to be sick at critical times, deliberately letting the opponent relax and paralyze, and also taking the opportunity to make a fuss below, and when the endgame has become a situation and no one can clean up the situation, the opponent may have all fallen. β
This analysis made Cai Ye, who is not sensitive to politics, gasp! Loud voice: "This old guy is crazy? This is a political bet on the future of the country! Tang Shaoyi shook his head and smiled bitterly, but the corner of his eyes unconsciously looked at Yang Qiu, who was standing with his back in front of the map, and said in his heart, this person is actually really similar to Youpeng in Shanxian County, and he is a madman who is betting on the future of the country! The difference is that one is for the country and for oneself, while the other is purely for the huge landlords and feudal forces behind them to control the political situation forever.
"If he overthrows Xiyuan Temple, who will he let out? Katsura Taro's health is very poor and it is estimated that he will not be able to live in a few days, the prestige of Terauchi Masatsuki has been greatly reduced, Kiyoura Keigo is not qualified, and the remaining few senators are either the Constitutional Council or the Navy, all of whom are people who do not deal with him. Li Yuanhong narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Rui as if he wanted to wait for him to solve his doubts. But Yang Qiu suddenly turned around, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "That's why he pretended to be sick!" The old man of Yamayama knows better than us that the Choshu Domain has no successor over the years, and he is not an opponent of the other two factions in terms of talent and skill, so I guess he will use Kita Ichiki and these people, wait for them to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, and then find someone to clean up the situation, and use a coup crisis to hold that person high and make him a new disciple of Katsura Taro! β
Feng Guozhang smiled, touched his beard and seemed to be full of anticipation: "If the old man of the county can use his hands to slaughter all these people in Xiyuan Temple this time, we can really feel at ease for a few years." "There is no doubt about his words, the biggest disadvantage of the Shanxian faction is the economy and the lack of long-term planning, and if something does happen, how to suppress the anger within the army and how to balance the land-sea relationship after the incident will test the inexperienced successor."
Last time, Youpeng in Longkou County won a trick and used himself to persuade the government to let the Kwantung Army advance the line, but this time he was probably not so lucky! Yang Qiu sat down and looked at Fang Rui: "Who performed the last step?" β
The last step? Everyone was surprised, they all knew about Houyi's plan now, but they didn't expect that there would be a final step. Fang Rui took off his hat, he was the only person present besides Yang Qiu who knew what the last step meant, and he knew that this was a nine-death action, so his voice was suddenly much lower, and he gritted his teeth and spit out four words.
