Chapter 108 Expansion (14) Direction

Chen Shixia left with the good news of peace, it is certain that Fang Dashuai has a good impression of the Zhejiang business community, otherwise how could he use Song Hanzhang, a native of Zhejiang, as the general manager of the Bank of China?

After sending Chen Shixia away, Fang Jianxiong planned to spend a leisurely day, but unexpectedly, things came to his door. Before lunch, Song Hanzhang appeared with a smile. General Manager Song can be said to be proud of the spring breeze recently, and Commander Fang has completely adopted President Song's establishment of the bank's headquarters in Wuchang, and at the same time, the opening of branches in Anqing and Shanghai has also been handled by President Song. Song Hanzhang has the final say on everything, and the only thing Fang Jianxiong did was to set up a financial supervision team, which was directly led by Sun Baoqi. Of course, this group basically does not care about business, never asks about banking business, but only regularly audits the accounts.

Song Hanzhang Bank has shares, and his net worth is tied to Fang Dashuai, so he naturally does his best. Of course, this binding is based on the supremacy of Fang Dashuai's strong military strength, otherwise Song would have patted his ass and left.

Song Hanzhang came to deliver a passbook, one for each person in the headquarters, and in the future, the salary will be directly sent to the bank account, and the money will be withdrawn if you want it. This move was Fang Jianxiong's order and was enforced. Song Hanzhang felt that this order was the greatest support for himself.

The three women in Fang Jianxiong's secretary group only have six yuan a month, five yuan is the regular salary, and one yuan is the subsidy. Don't underestimate these six oceans, you can live a peaceful life alone, you can't use it, and it is even said that the three women eat in the army in the canteen, and the food cost is only one ocean a month.

Probably the first time I got paid. Dou Qingmei was overjoyed, and hurriedly put away the passbook, not realizing at all that for a long time, Bai worked for Fang Dashuai, and she almost slept with her in vain.

"Dashuai, Tang Shouqian asked me to recommend Shen Junru to get an errand. Shen Junru didn't accept it, but he didn't leave, saying that he would stay and see Hubei under the rule of the marshal. Song Hanzhang naturally wanted to tell the truth in front of Fang Jianxiong. Fang Jianxiong couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Shen Junru is a talent, if you go to Tang Hualong, just say that it is my meaning." Let Shen Junru be the Minister of Culture and Education. I asked him to keep this position, and in the future, culture and education are important things, and I really don't feel at ease with these old bureaucrats in Hubei. ”

"This, it's better for the handsome to invite it in person, Shen Bingfu lives with me." Song Hanzhang said with a smile, with the wisdom of a handsome, it is not difficult to understand.

"Oh, that's it, okay, I'll go to the door tomorrow and invite it myself." Fang Jianxiong reacted. People like Shen Junru still love to eat this set.

Song Hanzhang said again: "Dashuai, I think that I should consider issuing banknotes." Let's get a little smaller banknotes to replace the copper rounds. Currency, to put it bluntly, is supported by credibility. As long as the issued banknotes can be exchanged for huàn into silver dollars. There won't be much of a problem. ”

Fang Jianxiong didn't react to the mystery for a while, but he was also able to ask shamelessly, "Oh, please elaborate." ”

Song Hanzhang said: "In fact, it is a process, paper money replaces copper yuan, and temporarily retains silver dollars, the advantage is that paper money can be exchanged for huàn into silver dollars." And the cost savings are significant. If you think about it, copper dollars have a lot more material input than paper money. ”

Fang Jianxiong suddenly realized this, and hurriedly said: "Okay, this is good." You go and discuss with Gu Heng, and strive to launch a small denomination banknote within half a year. ”

Song Hanzhang said goodbye satisfied, and earned enough face, and when he went back to talk to Shen Junru, he would definitely not shirk it. Song Hanzhang felt that Shen Junru didn't want to work here, but the stinky problem of cultural people.

Finally another thing, Fang Jianxiong shouted in his heart that it was not easy to be a leader, especially a leader who wanted to be a good leader. Or when the warlords who don't care whether the people live or die are at ease, this degeneration is too slow.

When Fang Jianxiong was expanding his territory under the banner of eliminating terrorism, the group of people in the Liberation Society were still making a big fuss about Tao Chengzhang's death.

Zhang Taiyan once again acted as a pioneer, writing in the newspaper that Chen Qimei's killing of Tao Chengzhang had already been induced. On July 26, 11, when the uprising was discussed at Shen Manyun's house, Chen Tao clashed, and Chen was about to shoot at that time, but was blocked by everyone. Later, Chen Qimei asked Zhejiang Governor Tang Shouqian to pay 250,000 yuan, but Tao Chengzhang, who was then the general counselor of Zhejiang, did not agree, and said to Chen: Hello, Shanghai has enough money for you, and my money should be used by Zhejiang revolutionary comrades, not for your use. Also, in December 11, the Zhejiang army opposed Huang Xing's appointment as generalissimo, and Chen Qimei asked Lu Gongwang to tell Tao Chengzhang, "Don't do too much, and Tao Junbao is an example." ”

(Note: In the article "Zhongzheng's Self-Narrative Strategy", Jiang Gong confessed the matter and said that the reason why Sun had always trusted Jiang was because of the murder of Tao.) ）

After the Tao case, Jiang Zhiqing fled to Japan, and the killer Wang Zhuqing was killed by the local Restoration Society in Jiaxing. The matter basically ended hastily, and Zhang Taiyan's article set off a new round of verbal battles. After Tao Chengzhang's death, Huang Xing telegraphed Chen Qimei to "protect Zhang Taiyan", which inevitably meant knowing Chen's nature and warning not to cause harm.

Zhang Taiyan said in the article: Tao Chengzhang's prison, the sinner has been obtained, the confession has been clear, and all gentlemen should hear about it. Since Tao's death, Huang Xing immediately sent a telegram to Chen Qimei, asking to protect Zhang Taiyan, and when he saw Si Dian, he knew that the friends of the two erections were treacherous, and he had already sent a crown.

The next day, I woke up in the morning. Fang Jianxiong first did some simple activities in the yard, but the wound had not healed, so he did not dare to exercise excessively. When she came back to freshen up, Dou Qingmei appeared with breakfast and a stack of essays.

"How about it taste, the lean porridge I made with my own hands." After yesterday's accident, Dou Qingmei is much more generous than before, and her demeanor is much more intimate. While tidying up the table with quick movements, he talked to Fang Jianxiong.

Fang Jianxiong, who didn't care too much about the taste, was attracted by the telegram on the table, the content of which was an article written by Zhang Taiyan.

I was too involved in watching it, and I didn't even taste a bowl of porridge, and Fang Jianxiong, who was holding a telegram in his hand, got up and left his seat, thinking that this matter could make a big fuss. Thinking a little distracted, he looked at the message in his hand from time to time, and walked a few steps from time to time. The Restoration Society has a huge influence in the Yangtze River Basin, with Zhejiang and Anhui as its main areas of activity.

In the current political situation, Fang Jianxiong also feels a deep headache. During the period of peace between the north and the south in history, because of the sudden rise of Fang Jianxiong, the pattern of the balance of power between the north and the south was broken. Without the support of Hubei and Anhui in the general righteousness, the provisional government will be even more difficult. Of course, whether it is the provisional government or Yuan Shikai of Beiyang, Fang Jianxiong does not want to see one side too weak. Attacking Beiyang militarily and weakening the provisional government politically, these two goals have now been basically achieved. What's next?

Fang Jianxiong is not a master who can play the overall situation in the palm of his hand, and he can't figure it out, so he has to find someone to discuss and listen to everyone's meaning. As for the Battle of Jiujiang, Fang Jianxiong was not worried at all. Zhang Xiaohuai's ability is not bad, and with an absolutely superior force, he will definitely not be defeated.

"Dashuai, Shanghai emergency power, Bengbu emergency power." Yin Weijun suddenly came in, holding a telegram in his hand and handing it over. Fang Jianxiong said casually: "Read! ”

The North-South peace talks were terminated, and Tang Shaoyi's reason was the assassination of Yuan Shikai. In addition, the third town of the Beiyang Army fell to Taiyuan, the Shaanxi People's Army was defeated by Zhao, and Xi'an was lost. The fifth town goes down to Xuzhou from Jinan, which has the meaning of eastward entering northern Jiangsu. Lin Shuqing's department of the town army asked Nanjing for help, but the War Department has not been restored. ”

Reciting the Bengbu emergency call again: Xuzhou Zhangbu went south yesterday, approaching Suqian, Shao Frame thought that he could not sit idly by, and he should make a move.

Xu Shaojiao has not been in Bengbu for a long time, and at this stage Bengbu is stationed in the Sixth Division of the National Defense Force, and there is a newly formed security brigade, about 16,000 people. Of course, the security brigade is poorly equipped, only rifles, and they are all old-fashioned guys, and they are okay with security logistics. Judging from the content of the telegram, Xu Shaojiao did not explain the reason.

"Call back to Bengbu, Brother Guqing, the recent political situation is confusing, and my brother can speak freely." After explaining, Fang Jianxiong said again: "Inform me to hold a meeting of military and political dignitaries." ”

Fang Dashuai wants to hold a meeting, and since he is an important party and government member, he must be qualified enough. All the directors of the Eighth National Congress of the Republican Party were present, plus Jiang Baili from the National Defense Forces, Li Xiaochuan, Yang Xizhang, Cai Hanqing, and Zhang Zhenwu attended the meeting. Forget the Germans, the Chinese are too complicated to figure it out.

A group of people came quickly, and they all arrived in less than an hour. Fang Dashuai appeared in a military uniform with a radiant face, and everyone stood up neatly. Fang Jianxiong enjoys this feeling of being in the limelight, well, it's a bit like Jin Xiaopang after he came to power, labor and management are not surnamed Jin, and they can't be like Jin Fatty's family, making the people miserable.

Fang Jianxiong basically didn't put on a handsome show in front of these people, and greeted with a smile: "Sit down, please come and discuss the direction of the National Defense Force under the current political situation." Before the meeting, I would like to brief you on some of the major events that have taken place in the past few days. ”

Fang Jianxiong was polite, and everyone didn't dare to hold it up, so everyone sat upright and listened. These people in the army are really convinced by Fang Jianxiong, and these people in the party and government are all old rivers and lakes, and the so-called "the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are." "These people don't dare to take themselves too seriously, the handsome look at you unpleasantly, so you have to cool off. No matter how capable you are, people are blind without you.

After some briefing, Fang Jianxiong continued: "At present, the north-south peace talks have been stopped by Yuan Shikai, the fifth town of the Beiyang Army has gone south to Xuzhou, and Zhang Xundong has entered Suqian. The Provisional Government's public opinion caught up with the three assassinations and bombed them indiscriminately, militarily due to the strong pressure of our army, and the financial situation was even more depleted to the point where civil servants had no salaries. In the face of such a difficult situation for the Provisional Government, you will share your views on what you think should be done next. ”

Fang Jianxiong's number one person is naturally the teacher Sun Baoqi, who was once the governor of the official residence (equivalent to the secretary of the provincial party committee or even older). Sun Baoqi coughed naturally, and waited for everyone's eyes to converge before he spoke: "Today's pattern is a bit of a three-point world." It is not necessarily a good thing that the Nanjing Provisional Government is too weak. It should be properly loosened, and it is urgent to rush Nanjing, and it is Yuan Xiangcheng who has to be cheap. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
