Chapter Twenty-Three: Persuasion to Surrender to Sa Bing Cold
After Qin Yu sent the outline of the big construction, he began to sort out the things of this period in the office, and after sorting it out for a while, he heard a knock on the door, Qin Yu: "Please come in." ”
The door opened and walked into two beautiful women, dressed in professional suits to show the seductive body vividly, only to see these two women laugh at the same time and say, "What are my big chairmen doing?" What did the big official do and forget about the two of us? ”
Qin Yu saw that it was Xiaolan and Xiaozhu, so he smiled and said, "How can there be, how could I forget the two sisters, what is the matter with me?" ”
Xiaozhu gave Qin Yu a hygienic look: "I can't look for you if it's okay, it's true." ”
Xiaolan didn't speak on the side, just took out a report, handed it to Qin Yu and said: "Young master, this is the expenditure of recent days, our two commercial banks will not be able to hold on, you carry out large-scale construction in the four provinces at the same time, and the nine-year compulsory education, the funds required for this are very large, and now our funds are beginning to be in shortage." ”
Qin Yu looked at the expenditure report: "In this way, I will ask Pan Asia Oil to send you a sum of money, and Donghua Automobile Company, which is relocating back, will also give you a sum of money, as for the industry in Southeast Asia, let's wait for it to come back, and you and the government should sell those lands should be enough to support you for a year or two." ”
Xiaolan: "Okay, that's okay, but I'm afraid I won't be able to support this year." ”
Qin Yu: "You don't have to worry about this, I will take care of it, you first go to the government to calculate the land together, and then publicly auction the land." ”
Xiaolan: "Okay, then let's go first, young master, goodbye, young master." ”
Since Xiaolan and Xiaozhu came back from Germany, Mrs. Qin began to take care of the finances of the Qin family firm, and they also regarded them as righteous daughters, but they have always treated Qin Yu in their current form.
I'm short of money again, shouldn't I borrow a little from Germany, well, so be it, wait a while and fool Germany, if only I could get Britain and France and other countries in.
Thinking about it, Qin Yu began to tidy up the text, and suddenly Qin Yu's door was knocked again, Qin Yu: "Come in." ”
The door opened, and a herald saluted and shouted a report, and then walked up to Qin Yu with a telegram: "Chairman, there is an emergency, just now the navy of the Qing army was found in Ezhou, and now it is driving from Ezhou along the Yangtze River to Nanjing, and the defenders in Anqing ask if they will fight back?" ”
Qin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Don't fight back yet, if they shell us, they will cripple them for me, and besides, you call the intelligence department over and I have something to ask." ”
Soldier: "Yes, Chairman" and went out with a salute.
After a while, people from the intelligence department came, and Qin Yu asked directly, "Sa Bingzhen, what's going on?" ”
"Sa Bingzhen should have received an order from the Qing government to bombard Nanjing or other places, because now Wuchang and the Qing government have ceased war, and Sa Bingzhen has not attacked Wuchang, as for this time, it may be that the Qing government wants to strike at us, but from what we have gathered, Sa Bingzhen does not seem to want to carry out the order, otherwise he would have started shelling both sides of the Yangtze River against us."
"Your analysis is very good, but you still have to pay attention, so let's see if you can contact Sa Bingzhen, if you can, tell him I sincerely invite him to Nanjing, and say that I can fulfill his dream."
"Okay, but isn't it dangerous for you to get the message yourself, Chairman?"
"It's okay, Sa Bingzhen is not such a person, he is a person worthy of admiration, go ahead."
"Yes, Chairman."
Sa Bingzhen was an admiral in the late Qing Dynasty, born in 1860, graduated from the Green Naval University in England, and has been committed to the development of the Chinese navy. But now that Qin Yu has changed history, Sa Bingzhen has not left the fleet, and is still coming to fight him, which is really funny.
Sa Bingzhen, who was drinking tea, suddenly received a telegram from the telegraph room saying that a telegram claiming to be Qin Yu, chairman of the East China Government, had been sent to the telegraph room, and he also asked Sa Bingzhen to see it.
Sa Bingzhen shuddered and almost dropped the teacup in his hand on the board, he was still thinking about Qin Yu just now, and immediately someone said that Qin Yu sent a telegram to him, can he not tremble.
Sa Bingzhen took the telegram in his hand and looked at it and was a little confused, Qin Yu actually asked him to go to Nanjing to find him, and said that he would help him realize his dream, wouldn't that be a sheep's mouth? But it seems that such a big person shouldn't lie to himself, otherwise he wouldn't send a telegram to him, could it be that he has taken a fancy to his navy, well, it should be, wait for me to think about something, the navy, yes, it's the navy, his dream is not the navy's dream, can he help himself?
Sa Bingzhen thought of a lot in an instant, and quickly thought of what Qin Yu meant, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy. Although Sa Bingzhen guessed what Qin Yu meant, he still couldn't make up his mind whether to go or not.
After the fleet continued to sail for half a day, Sa Bingzhen decided to go to meet Qin Yu for a while, even if he couldn't talk to Qin Yu, he wouldn't kill him, a bad old man, so he decided to go to Nanjing to find Qin Yu, and if he didn't go, it would be difficult to say anything to the imperial court.
The fleet soon arrived near Nanjing, and when he learned that Sa Bingzhen was going to Nanjing to see Qin Yu, his subordinates resolutely refused to let him go, and he couldn't come back if he ran away, especially his adjutant Tang Qianming was the most excited, and he was not allowed to go with a red neck, but Sa Bingzhen decided that no one could stop him if he wanted to go, and in the end Tang Qianming said that he would take him, and these subordinates allowed him to go.
When they arrived at the Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing, when the people of Nanjing saw these Qing navy and thought that they were here to attack Nanjing, they were very panicked, and when they finally saw Qin Yu at that wharf, they were not very afraid, the chairman was there, what are you afraid of.
Sa Bingzhen was very surprised to see Qin Yu come to greet him in person, and he was even more surprised to see Qin Yu at such a young age, he himself was still gnawing books in the school when he was so young, what a young hero!
Qin Yu was also very happy to look at Sa Bingzhen, who was about fifty years old, if he could be included in East China, of course, it would be the icing on the cake, Qin Yu had long wanted to have his own navy, although he had a warship or something, but no one drove it was just a pile of scrap metal, and those who studied and studied the navy in Europe have not come back, and there are not many who have come back, so Qin Yu is now in urgent need of naval talents.
Qin Yu stepped forward and shook Sa Bingzhen's hand and said, "Hello Sa Laosheng, the juniors have admired you for a long time, and today I finally met the real person, that excitement!" ”
"This is the governor of the four provinces, the chairman of the East China government, amazing, what a young hero!"
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, go, the juniors have prepared a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust."
"I'm really a little hungry, so let Chairman Qin break the bank."
Qin Yu pulled Sa Bingzhen into a Donghua special car, Sa Bingzhen looked at the luxurious car and sighed: "This is a foreign car, right?" Tsk, it's so comfortable to sit on, much better than a horse-drawn carriage. ”
"This is our own production, if you want it, I'll give you you."
Sa Bingzhen: "I won't open it if I send it, and besides, I can't use this on the battleship all year round." ”
After chatting for a while, they arrived at the place where Qin Yu set up a banquet, Qin Yu and Sa Bingzhen got out of the car and walked in, and soon began to serve the food, and after waiting for Tang Qianming and others to arrive, and then began the banquet. When everyone had eaten about the same, Sa Bingzhen began to ask Qin Yu: "Chairman Qin, isn't it as simple as asking me to come here for a meal?" ”
"Yes, I have other things to do with you, but ......" said and looked at Tang Qianming and the others.
Sa Bingzhen knew what he cared about, so he said, "They are all my people, there is nothing to taboo." ”
Seeing this, Qin Yu went straight to the point and said: "I want to persuade you to join our East China government, you also know that the current Manchu Qing will not be around for long, so it is better to join us." ”
Sa Bingzhen: "No, this can't work. ”
Qin Yu: "Do you believe me that we have more advanced warships and more excellent warships than yours?" You also know the current situation of the Manchus, your warships have not been replaced for many years, and it is difficult to even repair them. ”
Tang Qianming stood up directly and said, "How can you have more advanced warships than us, but I heard that you don't even have a warship now?" ”
"We have placed orders with Germany and England a long time ago, and we are now on our way home, and we have built a few ships in China that are better than yours, but there are not enough naval talents to drive them."
Sa Bingzhen somewhat understood what Qin Yu meant: "Is this what you said you could help me realize my dream?" ”
"Yes, we are now able to produce our own warships, and we already have warships, which is suffering from lack of personnel. I also believe that there will be a big war between China and Japan in the next few years, and the navy is indispensable, Japan's desire to kill us has never stopped, and there will be a big war between China and Japan in less than three years. After speaking, Qin Yu stood up and bowed sincerely to Sa Bingzhen.
Sa Bingzhen hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Forget it, my old bones are almost into the loess, so I will fight with you, if it is not for what you said, I will leave at any time." ”
Qin Yu: "Thank you, what I said is definitely not a lie. ”
After Qin Yu took them to see the warships that stayed in the shipyard, he decided to join the East China government.
