Volume IV: Prosperity 62 The Wind Rises (2)
(The title of the previous chapter is wrong, it should be the wind (1).) )
After Situ Meiden left, the words before he left have been haunting Chen Youren's mind. Chen Youren immediately found Wu Liande.
"Doctor, what do you have to do with them?" Chen Youren looked at Wu Liande with a stern expression. When he is serious, he will call Wu Liande a doctor.
"It doesn't matter. I'm with them. ”
Wu Liande smiled faintly, as if he had thought that Chen Youren would ask this question.
He explained, "Overall, Szeto Meiden didn't lie to you. Over the years, I have been mainly responsible for medical education, and I have spent tens of millions of dollars in my hands, and we have built a large number of schools and hospitals in various parts of Nanyang, and trained tens of thousands of medical soldiers.
It turned out that the medical talents I had trained in Nanyang were no longer enough, and they were drafted into the army. I came this time to recruit a group of students from medical schools all over Shanghai to form a military medical university.
Although I am not involved in other things, I am sure that we will succeed, and I am confident that we will sacrifice my life for it. ”
Wu Liande said with a firm face. After speaking, he looked at Chen Youren expectantly.
Naturally, he said this not without ground, thinking that when he was invited to participate in the prevention and control of the Spanish flu in the United States three years ago, after that meeting at William's Manor, he was destined to join this magnificent cause.
"By the way, and the properties in the West Indies that you sold in the last two years, the buyers are also our people. In Latin America, we also have a lot of industries and a lot of immigrants. Hehe. Didn't expect that, right? I also recently found out. Wu Liande said.
"Is there such a thing?" Chen Youren couldn't believe that the hands of Situ Meideng's group were so long.
Now it seems that the power of overseas Chinese in the world mentioned by Situ Meiden is not bragging, and maybe the Chen family's business has been entangled with them.
Chen Youren thought to himself.
"There is also a law firm where Ling Gongzi works in Hong Kong, which is also run by our people." Wu Liande broke the news again.
"You deliberately designed me?" Chen Youren looked at Wu Liande with some suspicion, his heart was not so calm, it sounded like a conspiracy, which couldn't help but make him secretly vigilant.
"Huh. You've thought about it too much. It's just a coincidence that there are only a few law firms in Hong Kong. The world is big and big, and small is small, and there will be our shadow more or less in the places where overseas Chinese gather all over the world, because this is a common belief. ”
Wu Liande said with a smile, "To put it bluntly, in these years, there are not many talents who can rise to the top, and there are only a few of them, foreign banks or companies opened by Chinese people, we account for both of these points." ”
Listening to Wu Liande, Chen Youren felt that he was too sensitive.
He and his wife, Mary Leung, had seven children, but unfortunately only four were raised.
The eldest son Chen Pishi, the second son Chen Yifan, and the daughters Silvia and Yolinda have all grown up one after another, but they rarely meet, and even his wife Mary Liang is also in London all the year round to deal with the family business, he is alone in Shanghai for his ideals, and there is not much contact with the family, I didn't expect that the law firm that his son Chen Pishi joined was also opened by the Zhi Gong Party.
Whether it is a design or a coincidence, Chen Youren can be sure that the other party should have no malicious intent.
Wu Liande looked at Chen Youren in contemplation, and said with a smile.
"Since you have doubts in your heart, can't you just go and see it?"
He hoped that Chen Youren's talent would contribute to the battle for the founding of the country in Nanyang, but he knew Chen Youren's personality and knew that it would not be easy to convince this stubborn and tenacious man.
"Alright! Anyway, there's nothing to do in Shanghai, so it's better to go for a walk and see if it's like what you said. A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Youren's eyes, and his mind flew to Nanyang at once.
Situ Meiden was indeed very busy, and after taking the time to meet Chen Youren, he met with Lin Yimin again, and asked the Chinese branch of Guò Meihua Company to prepare various materials for the Nanyang Uprising.
These Meihua companies had already prepared the necessary qiē for him in the warehouse in Shanghai. Steel from the Hanyang Iron Works, textiles from Shanghai, pig bristles, tea, flour and so on purchased from all over the country, the docks where the axes help control zhì are busy, loading the packaged goods onto the Nanxing Steamship Company.
Similar scenes also occurred in the ports of Singapore, Ben Cheng and Manila in the South Seas, where the Meihua Company used its powerful trade channels to urgently transport supplies from all over the country to Sumatra and Borneo.
Three days later, Chen Youren boarded the ship. He stood on the boat, the port of Shanghai was busy, the humble and industrious workers were using their rough hands, bowed bodies, shouting trumpets, carrying bundles of cotton yarn to the net bags, the huge crane made a rumbling sound, hoisted the net bags, and moved to the ship.
On the trestle not far away, a group of plainly dressed teenagers boarded the ship under the leadership of the crew, and from their curious and restrained eyes, it was the first time for these teenagers to board the ship, and their eyes were full of excitement and a trace of fear when they looked at the giant ship and the sea.
"Huh. Soon they were uncomfortable. Wu Liande walked over and looked at the teenagers with a loving face.
"I remember the first time I took a boat to Europe to go to school, I was so seasick that I almost vomited my bile." Chen Youren said with a smile.
With a long boat whistle, Shanghai Beach gradually disappeared from everyone's eyes. Chen Youren looked back at Shanghai Beach, saying goodbye to the ten years of turbulent years spent on this land,
He vaguely knew in his heart that this parting might also be eternal, at least his personal destiny would enter a new world.
It took a long time for him to return to the cabin in a daze.
There was a small drinking party on the boat, and under the introduction of Wu Liande, Chen Youren met Lin Yimin, Song Ziwen, Chen Tianming and others who came from the United States.
Song Ziwen's appearance surprised him a lot, and he walked to Song Ziwen's side with a wine glass.
"It's hard to imagine seeing you here." Chen Youren looked at the sea outside and said with emotion. Originally, he thought that the Song family could be used by Sun Wen, but now it seems that it is just wishful thinking on the part of many people.
Song Ziwen turned his head to look at Lin Yimin, who was talking with Situ Meiden with a smile, and said, "That's my boss, I'm going to Nanyang this time to have a look." ”
After speaking, he smiled slightly, he went to Nanyang with a mission this time, to inspect the market in Nanyang, and at the same time, he also participated in an upcoming groundbreaking event with his own actions.
Situ Meiden was in a good mood, and looked at Chen Tianming with a calm face, his eyes were full of relief.
"I've heard about the United States, and if we do a good job, we should let those white ghosts know that we are powerful." Situ Meiden patted Chen Tianming's shoulder vigorously.
After he left the United States, the North American Zhi Gong Court was handed over to Chen Tianming, and later Chen Tianming also became the head of the American branch of the Zhi Gong Party.
"I didn't do much, things were mainly done by big bosses and a group of young people. I also heard the news after I left the United States. ”
Chen Tianming said with a smile. He has now been detached from gang affairs, and the affairs of Chinatown have also been handed over to a new generation of young people such as Qin Zishan and Wang Chen.
"Don't be modest, you also have a credit for this. I have discussed with the American side, and I am going to let you go to Guangzhou to take over my work. Stuart said.
"To Guangzhou?"
Chen Tianming immediately understood that as the veteran and chairman of the Zhi Gong Party, Situ Meiden really wanted to sit in Nanyang at such a moment, and the affairs of Guangzhou really needed someone to replace him.
"Can you let others go, I'm new here, I'm afraid I won't be convinced?" Chen Tianming said with a bitter face. He really didn't want to miss the battle for the founding of the country in Nanyang, and he couldn't watch others expand their territory in Nanyang, and he only had the word "look" left in Guangzhou, right?
"You are mature and steady, knowledgeable and capable, and you have been able to take care of the affairs of the United States in an orderly manner in the past few years, so that the cause of the Zhi Gong Party has expanded a lot in the United States, and it is very suitable for you to leave the affairs of Guangzhou to you." Situ Meiden said with a tiger face.
seemed to see Chen Tianming's thoughts, and he made another promise: "Look farther, Nanyang is the present, and Guangzhou is the future, understand?" Rest assured! In the future, many of them will have your place here or there. ”
"Okay!"
Chen Tianming had no choice but to accept Situ Meiden's kindness. He felt a little regretful in his heart, he rushed from San Francisco to Shanghai in a hurry, and was ready to go to the South Seas, but he was arranged to go to Guangzhou halfway.
Two days later, when the ship arrived in Guangzhou, Chen Tianming got off the boat with a grumbling face and returned to his familiar and unfamiliar hometown of Guangzhou. Situ Mei has already arranged for him, and has already explained it clearly to Chen Jiongming and Deng Keng.
Chen Jiongming and Deng Keng were very supportive of Situ Mei's trip to Nanyang, and with the support of these two bigwigs, Chen Tianming, a new financial recruit, slowly gained a firm foothold in Guangzhou.
The steamer made a short stop in Canton to replenish its fresh water supply before continuing its voyage to the South China Sea. When passing through Hainan, another steamer joined the voyage, and there were a few more swarthy and swarthy young men on board.
Although they are wearing suits, their meticulous, straight-waisted, and unsmiling appearance is easily reminiscent of the word "soldiers".
"Who are they?" Chen Youren looked at the men on the deck and asked Wu Liande beside him.
"The shorter one is called Zhang Chengdong, the original commander of the Fifth Division of the Guangdong Army. The tall man next to him was Situ Yong, the commander of the Third Division of the Guangdong Army, and several foreign men beside them should be German staff officers. When I was invited to Guangxi not long ago to train military doctors, I met them once. Wu Liande introduced.
"In this operation, not only Nanyang, but also Liangguang also sent a lot of people over. I have heard Situ Meiden say that the people who came from Liangguang this time were sent from Nanyang a few years ago, and it is said that the last Guangdong-Guizhou War was their handiwork. ”
Wu Liande told Chen Youren what he knew. Now that Chen Youren has boarded the ship, he is not afraid that he will leak the news, and besides, he will soon become a part of it.
"Hello, Mr. Wu!" At this time, Zhang Chengdong and a few of them came over.
"Hello, General Zhang!" Wu Liande said with a smile. "This is Mr. Chen Youren, my friend! These two are Zhang Chengdong and General Situ Nan. ”
"Chen Youren? Chen Youren, who participated in the Paris Peace Conference and criticized the Beijing government? Zhang Chengdong was a little awe-inspired.
"Fortunately. General Zhang, General Situ. Chen Youren looked at the two excessively young generals, and was a little suspicious in his heart, but he liked their sharp military temperament very much.
"Two generals, our army??????? Well, are you sure? Chen Youren asked with some concern. Before you know it, he's already using the word we.
As the relationship with Situ Meiden and them deepened, Chen Youren felt more and more that the Zhi Gong Party was not simple, and the plan was not small. Although there were still some differences between them, they were slowly moved by this group of "people with lofty ideals", and they slowly tended to join the great cause of Nanyang Chinese independence??????
Chen Youren's fleet is still sailing on the sea, and the island of Sumatra, thousands of miles away, is already lively. In particular, in Medan, the base area of South China, a steady stream of ships came from all over the world, unloading a large amount of military supplies from the ships, and thousands of young men from the ships.
They were silent, quick and decisive, and as soon as they disembarked, they disappeared into the forest roads. In recent years, the development of Medan has exceeded the estimates of the Dutch and Indian authorities, and the new Chinese power has infiltrated the area, and the Dutch have long since lost control of the city, although they receive a lot of taxes every year.
This is also the reason why Governor Van Persie is reluctant to use force.
The old fellow's term of office will expire next month, and in his words he has had his fill, and at the same time he has mercifully left behind a prosperous city.
According to their Dutch tradition, his successor had to take it by his own hands if he wanted to get more out of the Chinese.
Things are a little weird in Medan, but Van Persie doesn't want to bother with that much anymore. He is sixty years old and has given too much of his youth to the Queen, and now is the time for his personal enjoyment.
It's just that before he left, what was a little disturbing was that the natives of North Sumatra made trouble again. There are also some indigenous people of the island of Borneo who are also restless.
Since the beginning of this year, I don't know if it was under the influence of Soviet Russia, several guerrilla groups have appeared in the Banda Aceh area in northern Sumatra and in the southern part of Borneo, attacking the local government, smashing foreign companies, and plundering the property of Dutch merchants, causing considerable losses to the Dutch and Indian authorities.
Faced with those compatriots who had lost their property and loved ones, Governor Van Persie had no choice but to summon Major General Van Nistelroy to discuss countermeasures.
"I don't want my successor to say to me, hey, man, I'm here to clean up the mess for you. Do you see what I mean? ”
The Governor looked at the general in front of him with a stern expression.
"Of course. I will soon send troops to exterminate the natives. ”
Major General Fanny said confidently, not paying any attention to the indigenous guerrillas. He thought of something again, and said, "The Chinese in Sumatra have made frequent small movements during this time, do they need it?" Major General Fanny raised his hand and demonstrated a hand knife.
The Governor was noncommittal, thought for a moment, and replied: "Deal with the guerrillas first." The rest is up to you and the next governor, but I'm sure you'll make it. ”
"Damn old fox!" Major General Fanny came out of the Governor's Mansion and looked back at the luxurious and extravagant Governor's Palace. Fortunately, the old family is more interesting, he is full, and he also leaves himself a chance to be rich.
Won't the new governor come to power and not rely on the army? Whether it's Liwei or creating wealth for the kingdom, no one should be able to oppose me.
