How will the Korean Unified Prison Office respond?

When the will of the imperial court was announced, at least on the Korean Peninsula, almost everyone was paying attention to the Unified Prison Office and the final decision here, and some of the senior Korean officials who had been in the control of the Korean state government for the past two years were even more cheerful, and it seemed that the Tang clan was not going to leave their posts.

In contrast, the majority of Chinese in North Korea are worried, because they are worried that Lord Tang will accept the will and arrest the students and civilians who had funded the Hangzhou rebels, and they are worried that Lord Tang's resistance will cause the SAR to be abandoned halfway.

Amid fears, the Mobile Police Brigade stationed in Bado, North Korea, and the Second Division, which is being trained in Seoul, have been secretly transferred. At the same time, the newspapers continued to announce that the Unified Prison Office would defend itself in order to ease the matter, but the news always made people a little unconfident - in just five days, the government wrote three times to defend itself, and all three times were severely reprimanded by the imperial court. And each time, Dong-A Ilbo was able to obtain a part of the content of the "supernatural power" through the "source".

That merciless, even murderous rebuke, just continued to intensify the dissatisfaction of the people in the court with the imperial court, everything was going on quietly, no one knew where the future would go, and even the "sincere fear" of the unified supervision office still aroused the dissatisfaction of many people.

"That's enough, really, it's really not good, just knock them down!"

Early in the morning, almost as soon as he entered the bank office, Takahashi Shiqing heard the dissatisfied shouts of his colleagues in the office, and he could hear what they were discussing without paying attention to it. It must have something to do with the argument of the Unified Supervision Office.

"Yes. If Fuchu can send troops now. Forming a north-south response with Zhejiang Province, perhaps, this Manchu Qing will be defeated immediately! ”

"That is, China will naturally be recovered at that time!"

But what about after the recovery?

While humbly greeting several colleagues from the Incheon branch, Takahashi was clear about such a question after entering his office, and in the "Association of Japanese in China", they have also talked happily about the events in China in recent days, and they are all optimistic. If the Unified Supervision Office could raise troops and respond to the uprising of the rebels in Zhejiang Province, the Manchu court would inevitably collapse quickly, and they were all optimistic that local officials such as Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, and Liu Kunyi would definitely fall to the rebels.

But they ignore one point - after the collapse of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who will dominate China?

Is it Tang Haoran of the Unified Supervision Office, or Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong, Liu Kunyi and other local officials of the Qing Dynasty? And this question is precisely the fate of China in the future.

If the local leaders cannot reach a consensus, then a new civil war is bound to break out, like any uprising in Chinese history. After years or even more than a dozen years of fierce battles between the rebels, the winner came in the end.

But by that time, China's vitality had been exhausted by the war. Without more than ten years or even decades of work, it will not be restored at all. Japan's future, on the other hand, depended entirely on China, and for this reason, contrary to the views of those in the association, Takahashi insisted on the "Qing national preservation theory" and believed that the unified government should make appropriate concessions.

"Oh, what are you doing thinking about so much, you're just a bank clerk now!"

Suddenly, Takahashi Kiyoshi sighed, after fleeing to Incheon like many Japanese intellectuals at the beginning of the year, he first found a job as an English teacher at the East Asian School, and then entered the Incheon branch of the Bank of Korea, where he is now just a very ordinary bank clerk.

That kind of militaristic affairs is not what an ordinary bank clerk like him, or even a stateless exile who is about to lose his country, cares about.

Saying this, Takahashi Shiqing leaned over the desk and continued to count some summary figures, but in the process of statistics, Takahashi Shiqing's brows suddenly jumped, and he keenly noticed a strange phenomenon.

"The outflow of silver dollar coins has skyrocketed!"

With the gradual implementation of the Bank of Korea's silver dollar bills, it has been completely accepted by the market, and the silver dollar bills issued by the banks have been able to be used in the coastal cities of Shandong because of their good credit. And on the Korean Peninsula, especially in large cities like Incheon, silver dollar coins have been completely replaced by silver dollar coupons, in which case the exchange of silver dollar coins is very limited.

However, the figures above show that in the past five days, more than 15 million yuan of silver dollar coins have flowed out of the Incheon branch, far more than the total of the past year, and what is even more curious is that these coins are not exchanged normally, but transferred within the bank.

"How can this be, there is no run on that branch?"

After thinking about it, Takahashi noticed that more than 10 million yuan of these coins were transferred to Shanghai, Shandong, and Tianjin, and another 5 million yuan was transferred to Pyongyang.

It seems that there is something wrong, the bank has transferred so much cash, I am afraid it is not a simple transfer, in the past, it has always been transferred from the Qing country to North Korea, but now it is transferred to the Qing country, and there is probably only one reason for the transfer of so much cash, that is, to deal with the run!

Run!

"Something big is going to happen!"

From these signals, Takahashi immediately realized that something big must happen in the next few days, otherwise the bank would never have transferred a huge amount of cash to Qing to deal with a possible run.

But what will it be?

If it is not bad, the incident must have been planned by the government, otherwise it would never have taken the initiative to transfer money to stabilize the domestic branches.

Staring at the numbers on the paper, Takahashi Shiqing couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and suddenly, the pencil in his hand fell to the table, and he muttered to his lips.

"Is it ......?"

Unless it's that kind of big event, how can banks need to mobilize huge amounts of cash to deal with a run?

"Will you be able to handle a possible run?"

Facing Tang Haoran, who was sitting in front of him, he asked what he was most concerned about, since the establishment of the Bank of Korea, it has been the most solid economic pillar in the province, even in the case of tens of millions of pounds from the sale of shares in the South African mining company, the bank's branches and stock exchanges in the country are still providing huge loans to the company. The stock exchange raised tens of millions of taels of silver.

After planning this war in Fuchu. The bank even prepared more than 50 million yuan for military spending at the first time. Coupled with the 50 million special funds taken out by Fuzhong, it is enough to support this campaign, and it may be far inferior to the Manchu Qing in terms of military strength, but in terms of war expenses, Fuzhong can provide enough war expenses.

Although the strong support of the bank is what the government needs, Tang Haoran knows that he can't kill the chicken and take the eggs, and in the future, after the recovery of Kanto, there will be more places that need the bank. When the time comes, it will be necessary to build China's modern financial system based on the Bank of North Korea, which is why Tang Haoran will care about whether the banks can cope with the run.

Credibility is the foundation of the bank's survival, and if the bank is unable to pay the cash in the run, even if it wins the war in the future, it will undoubtedly be disastrous for the government.

"In the past few days, in addition to the mobilization of more than 30 million cash, we have also reached new loan agreements with HSBC, Citigroup and other banks, according to this agreement. We can mobilize no less than 40 million taels of cash if necessary, which is almost 70% of the domestic deposits. Even if there is a large-scale run, the only concern comes from whether the imperial court will seize the banks, although the banks in the concession do not have this concern, but the branch offices set up in Shandong and other places have this risk! ”

As the manager of the bank, he had his own concerns, if it was just a run, relying on the ample reserves of silver dollar coins and loans from foreign banks secured by more than 2,400,000 pounds of foreign exchange reserves in Fuchu, he could cope with a run of any size, and the only concern was whether the Manchus would raid the banks.

"Although the scale of these branch offices is small, because they are far from the treaty ports, the cash money has to be deposited in the office, if it is confiscated, it is very likely to lead to a loss of cash, and the branch office is responsible for the settlement of workers' wages, so I am afraid that it will have a certain impact on the reputation of the bank at that time."

Listening to his concerns, Tang Haoran thought for a moment and then asked rhetorically.

"Is there a way to make amends?"

"Yes!"

Looking at the adult, he said solemnly.

"In the event of a seizure, I hope that the government will include the bank's losses in future negotiations, so that the bank will compensate the depositors for the interest losses and restore the bank's credibility through the payment of interest losses."

In other words, the Manchus wanted to check if they wanted to check if they didn't, but in the future, they had to spit out the principal with interest, and then the banks would repay the depositors with high interest rates, so as to ensure that the bank's credibility would not be lost, and this was completely imperialist practice.

However, Tang Haoran naturally had no objection to this,

"In this way, you prepare a report to the Fuzhong, once the negotiations are opened, the bank can directly raise the loss, and the Fuzhong will count this into the loss and ask the court to pay!"

What if the Manchus were unwilling to pay? Then go on, the guns of the army exist to defend the interests of the people, and the interests of the banks are of course also a component of the interests of the people, and even on the other hand, Tang Haoran also hopes that after winning the war, the Manchus will pay a sum of military expenses, so as to ensure that they will not "lose money", of course, maybe this military expenditure is not as good as the indemnity of the First Sino-Japanese War in history, but at least it can make up for some losses.

"Also, although this is a military operation, the bank must also cooperate, after all, the Bank of Korea is equivalent to the central bank of the prefecture, so according to the needs of military operations and theater management, the bank must be prepared to set up a branch office in the theater, whether it can stabilize the situation in the liberation zone, but it depends on you, how about it, is there a problem?"

Is there a problem? While saying this question, Tang Haoran couldn't help but look at the time, now, it's almost started!

After discussing many financial issues such as military spending, after he left the Unified Supervision Mansion, Tang Haoran was a little uneasy because of the approaching time, this uneasiness was not so much worry, but rather a worry about the unknown, after all, now the skin of the Manchu Qing has not been torn apart, without the first day of the Wu, there is no Gengzi, how can the Manchu Qing lose face? If the late Qing Dynasty had not continuously raised taxes to pay off foreign debts, how could there have been local people's hearts and minds?

And now, how difficult is it to use one division, or two and a half divisions, to challenge the authority of the Manchu Qing at the height of the so-called "Tongguang Zhongxing"? If he fails, will he be able to keep North Korea alive?

Just when such thoughts and Tang Haoran appeared in his heart, Li Guangguang quietly walked behind him and bowed deeply.

"My lord, the message has been prepared!"

After receiving the telegram, Tang Haoran, who was on the side of the corridor in the middle of the house, just glanced at it, although the message still stirred up the words "the difference between Han and Manchu", but Tang Haoran was not very satisfied in his heart.

"Chongshan, do you know that when we raise troops, who will stop you?"

Returning the drafted message to Li Guangguang, Tang Haoran stared at the mirror-like lake in the garden and asked rhetorically.

"It's Beiyang, not the imperial court!"

Indeed, this is exactly the reality that the army faced after the army was raised - the resistance came from the Beiyang, not the imperial court.

"The Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers held by the imperial court are all vulnerable, but the local defense army can still fight, and the Fengtian, Zhili, and Shandong defense armies are all under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Beiyang, and they are the resistance of our army!"

"Actually, to put it bluntly, it is not the Manchu court that can stop us, if it is only the Manchu Qing Dynasty, relying on these two and a half divisions, it can be defeated with one blow, and the real patient who is my confidant is in the place, not the center!"

After revealing his real worries, Tang Haoran's gaze narrowed slightly.

"If the Manchu Qing want to stop us, they must mobilize the defense forces that can be fought in various places to stop the troops stationed in Korea, and only the newly recruited defense troops in various places can ...... the trouble of the troops stationed in Korea."

Since the Xianfeng Rebellion, the regimental training in this place is the "national defense army" of "my Qing Dynasty", and the "central army" is just a waste of money.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Anti-...... Not ......"

Shaking his head, Tang Haoran was not so arrogant that the so-called "anti-intrigue scheme" could make the imperial court not use the place, or put pressure on the place.

"It should be said that it is a discord, the eight governors of the world are all Han people, and now Hangzhou is the first to advocate the Manchu Dynasty, and the world is held by the eight governors, how can the Manchu court feel at ease? So, we're going to have to move an article on this! ”

Tang Haoran's mouth of the eight governors naturally refers to the eight governors of Guannai, these eight governors are the only support of the Manchu court, if he can sever the trust between the Xinjiang officials headed by the eight governors and the Manchu court, then at least one thing can be guaranteed - the Manchu court is absolutely unable to suppress its own troops,

"My lord, this ...... It's not that easy! ”

It seems difficult to divide the trust between one or two local governors and the imperial court, but if the Manchu court and the eight governors distrust each other, I am afraid it will be tantamount to a fool's dream, after all, those eight can be in the position of governor, first of all, they have won the trust of the imperial court, at least once won the trust of the imperial court.

Nodding, Tang Haoran's gaze turned into the distance, as if he wanted to see through the mountains and rivers and see the country all the time.

"Chongshan, do you remember an old incident in Yongzheng's meeting?"
