Chapter 253: Entering Jiangnan (5)
There were three other people who accompanied Liu Hongsheng, strictly speaking, Liu Hongsheng seems to be just a leader, because these three people include Yang Yongtai, the current number one military advisor under Wang Zhenyu's account.
Yang Yongtai's official status at the moment is the acting governor of Guangdong Province, but it doesn't matter, the governor himself is not in charge of civil affairs, and his main task is to coordinate the relations between all parties in Guangzhou. And he is a Cantonese himself, and it is even easier for him to do this kind of thing, like a fish in water.
With the latest agreement reached by Sun Wen and Wang Zhenyu on land for peace, the situation in Guangdong was completely stabilized after Huang Xuchu's headquarters entered the Shantou area, and at least 40,000 or 50,000 Chaoshan and Meizhou people chose to go to Fujian to follow Lao Sun to continue the revolution.
At this time, Wang Zhenyu sent an urgent telegram to Yang Yongtai, asking him to go to Shanghai immediately to preside over the preparations for the Youth Army to be stationed in Shanghai. Looking at the whole of the National Socialist Party, this master can handle it. Therefore, after the government affairs of Guangdong Province were lost to Chen Gongbo, Yang Yongtai came to Shanghai.
However, Yang Yongtai has a characteristic, he likes to plan ahead, so he didn't come alone, but also brought two people, one is the second industrialist under Wang Zhenyu, Liu Guojun, who is in charge of the business of the Liangguang Development Corporation, this person is also well-known in Shanghai (before coming to Anjiang, he worked in Hongsheng Company for more than a year). The second person is an old friend of Shanghai's financial tycoons, Cai Naihuang, a Taoist in Shanghai in the late Qing Dynasty.
Speaking of Cai Naihuang's fate, when the Shanghai rubber stock market crash at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he could have saved the situation by successfully manipulating the market, but unexpectedly, the party and government of the DPRK and China forced Sheng Xuanhuai to make the live situation a dead end, and he also lost his official position. After the Republic of China, he has not been treated by Lao Yuan, and finally Lao Yuan is going to be called the emperor, Cai Naihuang got a job to raise money, and Yuan Shikai appointed Cai Naihuang as the anti-smoking supervisor of Anhui, Jiangxi and Jiangsu provinces. Don't be fooled by the word smoking ban, in the Republic of China, many literal things you have to look at in reverse. For example, when Yuan Shikai first became president, he liked to call himself a public servant when he met people, as if the people were really the masters of the country. Or what Sun Chuanfang said later, what kind of bullshit public servant, the worst thing in the world is this public servant, either stealing the master's things, or sleeping with the master's woman. Sure enough, in the back of the game, Yuan Shikai, a king-sized public servant, is going to become an emperor and become a princess from a public servant. Since a public servant is such a thing, then the so-called smoking ban is actually turning over cigarettes, which is not only Yuan Shikai doing this, but our Wang Zhenyu also set up a Xiangxi Anti-Smoking Bureau to buy and sell tobacco and soil before it began. Cai Naihuang, the anti-smoking supervisor, naturally colluded with British businessmen to ban local tobacco and sell foreign cigarettes, requiring cigarette merchants to report 4,500 yuan per box, and it is expected to make a profit of more than 27 million yuan. After the outbreak of the Protectorate War, Cai Naihuang was sent to Guangdong to serve as the director of the Guangdong Opium Bureau because he was from Panyu, Guangdong, and monitored Long Jiguang while raising funds.
At this time, Long Jiguang was surrounded by various factions against Yuan Shili, and was forced to negotiate with Liang Qichao's representatives Xu Qin and Tang Jueton.
Negotiations between Yuan Fang and Long Jiguang at the Haizhu Maritime Police Station in Guangzhou reached a deadlock, and Yan Qihan, commander of the Long Jiguang Guard Army, and his guards suddenly pulled out their guns and opened fire, and Tang Jueton, Army Major General Tan Xuekui, Director of the Police Department Wang Guangling, and Lu Zhongming, Commander of the Central Route of the Guangdong National Defense Army, were killed on the spot. It was for the infamous "Haizhu Incident". Afterwards, Long blamed Cai Naihuang and Yan Qihan (who had fled) on the Haizhu tragedy, and Cai Naihuang was detained by Tan Xuekui's brother and commander of the Guangdong Navy, Tan Xueheng, and was ready to be shot.
Fortunately, the Youth Army quickly defeated Long Jiguang's troops, and Tan Xueheng was forced to hand over military power to the Youth Army before he could shoot Cai Naihuang. So Cai Naihuang failed to get the thirteen-character announcement in the original history that "Cai Naihuang is innocent, and everyone in the country can be killed", but was saved by Yang Yongtai.
This trip to Shanghai, how can this former parent official be missing?
Now that Yang Yongtai, who sings the leading role on Wang Zhenyu's side, is present, it is natural for the Ningbo Gang to speak. At this time, the Ningbo Gang was naturally led by Yu Qiaqing and Sun Hengfu, but obviously these two people were singing red face and white face.
The first person to speak was Sun Hengfu, who got up and said to Zhang Qian, who was a Chinese: "Everyone is a person in the business field, every minute is money, and I have nothing to say, I just want to ask a few friends on the other side of the question." ”
Yang Yongtai saw that the person who came was not good, and he was not in a hurry to say anything, but raised his hand with a smile and said, "Listen to me, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Sun Hengfu nodded and said: "As far as we know, your army has its own bank, and it has issued a currency called Huayuan, and this currency quickly became the local currency after your army conquered Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places. Even in the Fujian region controlled by Mr. Sun Wen, this currency was circulated as hard currency. Sun is a banker, as we all know, our Siming Bank has the right to issue currency since the Qing Dynasty, I want to know, after your army enters Shanghai, can our Siming Bank issue Chinese dollars? And in the future pattern of Shanghai's interests, what can we get from Siming Bank? These questions are not clear, let us Ningbo people support you foreigners, but I am afraid that it is not suitable. ”
After Sun Hengfu finished speaking, all the people present turned their eyes to Yang Yongtai, wanting to see how he answered. Especially Zhang Jingjiang, because of these questions in front of himself and Chen Qimei last night, these Ningbo people have already raised them once. At that time, in order to gain the support of these local tyrants, Chen Qimei agreed to everything, and promised that the central bank of the future revolutionary government would be led by these Ningbo people, what was going on?
Yang Yongtai sat there at the moment, and said with a smile: "Boss Sun, first of all, I will correct you a statement, you are not a question just now, the second is two questions, I want to ask which one you need me to answer?" ”
After saying that, everyone laughed, since Sun Hengfu was wealthy, no one had really laughed at him like this, but at this moment he could only endure it. Sun Hengfu said with a cold face: "Mr. Yang, if you are willing to answer that, just answer that, if you want to make fun of Sun, Sun will leave immediately." ”
Yang Yongtai lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand and said with a smile: "Boss Sun thinks too much, hehe, just kidding." Since you just asked, I'll answer it all. First, I cannot guarantee the right to issue currency, but I can tell you unequivocally that if there are no accidents, the issue of the right to issue currency in the future will be replanned after our army unifies the whole country. Second, the biggest pattern in Shanghai in the future is only six words: fairness, justice, and openness, and Siming Bank will inevitably be a wide source of money in Shanghai in the future, so there is no need to worry! Third, it is the problem of outsiders that Boss Sun just said, I emphasize one point, Song Hanzhang, Chen Guangfu and others who currently manage the bank for our boss are all from Zhejiang, or even from Ningbo, I don't know if Boss Sun is sure that they are foreigners? ”
After hearing this, Sun Hengfu arched his hand and said: "Mr. Yang, you continue to say these big words, Sun has something to say goodbye." ”
Seeing that Sun Hengfu was so faceless, Yang Yongtai's face changed and said: "It seems that someone doesn't give face to the handsome?" ”
"So what, I'm in the concession, what can he Wang Zhenyu do to me? As for you, Mr. Yang, I have to advise you, this world is not necessarily anyone's, even if your soldiers can enter Shanghai, we can make your Huayuan unable to enter. If you don't believe me, you can try it, turtle! ”
"Really? Then Mr. Sun, you might as well stay in the concession and see if Boss Huang and Boss Du are willing to let you settle down. Yang Yongtai sneered.
Sun Hengfu sneered: "Mr. Yang, if I heard it correctly, you are threatening me!" I, Sun Hengfu, am not scared, even if I let the horse come. ”
Yang Yongtai buttoned up his suit and said: "No, no, I think you misunderstood, Boss Sun, our National Socialist Party or the Youth Army never threatens anyone." But since all the bosses are here, I would like to remind you that if our youth army goes to Shanghai, then there are only two kinds of people in Shanghai, our friends and our enemies. ”
Seeing the situation, Yu Qiaqing immediately came out to be a peacemaker: "Don't be angry, you talk about business and business, but you don't want to be angry, let's sit down and talk, sit down and talk." ”
Yang Yongtai stood up without appreciation and said: "No need, today doesn't seem to be the day to talk about things, but everyone, I still hope that you will have a good understanding of the nature of our National Socialist Party and the current policies of our Wang Dashuai. Don't go the wrong way for a little profit in front of you, stand on the wrong side, once you miss the opportunity, it's gone, okay, farewell! ”
After finishing speaking, Yang Yongtai left, Liu Hongsheng, Cai Naihuang and others hurriedly followed out, leaving a room of big bosses sitting there looking at each other, it seemed that the youth army was much tougher than the revolutionary army, which made these big bosses hesitate.
Walking out of Siming Bank, Cai Naihuang quickly followed Yang Yongtai and asked, "Brother Changqing, there is something unknown about the foolish brother, let's not talk to them?" ”
Yang Yongtai stopped and said: "Judging from their performance just now, these Ningbo Yankees are not in a hurry, which means that Sun Wen is also in contact with them, isn't Zhang Jingjiang Sun Wen's finance minister?" So these Ningbo Yankees are actually waiting and seeing, and they will see who will enter Shanghai first. So don't worry, as long as our army fights, these guys will take the initiative to come to us, and we will naturally make the price when the time comes. ”
Cai Naihuang nodded, and said with some worry: "What if Sun Wen's revolutionary army enters Shanghai first?" ”
Yang Yongtai replied directly without thinking: "Brother Bohao (Cai Naihuang's character), this shijie is amazing, but one thing I can be sure of is that what you are worried about is impossible to happen......"
