Chapter 153: President Li Da wants to borrow money
This wedding, which took place in the city of heroes, witnessed by the people of the city and the representatives of the foreign missions of the governors of various provinces, was talked about until many years later. Some young people who have seen this sensational marriage in the city regard it as their goal in life. I hope that one day I can be blessed by so many people.
Compared with the people in the city, this young governor finally got married, which also means that the soldiers and civilians who have always been accustomed to calling this Gannan army the Xu family army. They all desperately hope to see that there is an heir to the growing Xu Jiajun who can take over the power of Xu Bin, the young governor, and continue to lead the development and growth of the Xu Jiajun.
It's just that this kind of waiting, I don't know how long it will be, but Xu Jiajun is about to have it, and it is also something that all generals are looking forward to. As for Bai Diantang, who has become the highest military and political governor of the first government, he is happy that his daughter can finally become Xu Bin's wife.
Although Bai Diantang knew that the governor of this year did not have three wives and four concubines. But the eldest lady means the main family, and if she can give birth to a son in the future, she will also be the most reasonable and legitimate heir of Xu Jiajun. And in Bai Diantang's view, her daughter's current transformation has also been recognized by Xu Bin, otherwise she would not have fulfilled her promise to determine her daughter's identity in front of the people of Gannan when her daughter became an adult.
The eldest son of the president, who is the witness of the wedding today, resolutely decided to let him be the officiant of the governor of Gannan, who was much younger than him. Invisibly, a signal was spread to the outside world, that is, the Xu family army, which ruled Gannan Province, was, in a sense, on the same line as the Northern Xinjiang Army led by his father.
Naturally, it was also in support of his father, a position in the presidency that other warlord governors had never recognized. It seems that his father was right, and the young governor's political strategy was far more sophisticated than he had imagined.
It's just that when he came to Gannan on this trip, the responsibility on his shoulders was still great. The Great War of the Central Plains, which lasted for almost a year. It has also brought the military spending of northern Xinjiang to the limit. The Changbai Army, which is now located in Changbai Road, has begun to move again. The Sun Country behind it has also been greedy for the mineral resources of the northern Xinjiang region, judging from the current description. War seems inevitable, but it still takes money to fight.
Although the Northern Xinjiang Army, which was already overwhelmed financially, was nominally responsible for the Protector Army, in addition to the Northern Xinjiang region and Longcheng wealth under its rule, it could receive a lot of income from the treasury of the Northern Xinjiang Army. The other provinces should have paid the state's fiscal taxes, but they were also withheld and not handed over. This is also the real reason why the Longhua Kingdom is now doing its own thing.
As the most and most timely Gannan Province in recent years. It is undoubtedly the object of envy of the governors of Longhua Kingdom. The materials operated by the Gannan Chamber of Commerce are also well known to have money from the Gannan Bank. If not everyone knows, the young governor of Gannan Province likes to do business, and he is fair and authentic.
If you want to fight with the bank, you have to be careful that your head is not guaranteed. There has long been a joint attack on Gannan. At present, the Northern Xinjiang Army urgently needs a batch of financial support to expand its armaments and prepare for war. Behind the support of the country. Recently, it seems to be eye-catching with the Sun Country. Reluctant to give more financial support. This means that once the battle starts, this nominal protector army will not be able to fight a protracted war at all.
In desperation, President Lee also thought about borrowing from the young governor of Gannan Province to tide over the difficulties. It's a pity that he was born as a bandit, and he knows that there are famous bandits who are difficult to repay when they borrow money. Plus Xu Bin, the governor. He was also born in the green forest. If you are willing to borrow money or not, it is very likely that it will be wasted money, so you are really not sure.
Fortunately, a telegram inviting him to the wedding celebration allowed President Lee to finally send the most effective help. His eldest son, Li Chengmin, served as the representative of the wedding. In addition, find an appropriate time to hand over a handwritten letter written by yourself to Xu Bin, a fellow practitioner who has never met before.
The matter of borrowing money was naturally mentioned in the letter. It's just that President Li, who is currently in a difficult situation at home and abroad, can't make too many promises. But in the letter, he also stated that as long as Xu Bin can be righteous and help him overcome the current difficulties. Then the future Northern Xinjiang Army is the Xu Jiajun, the most loyal and loyal ally in Longhua State.
Although the distance between the two armies is a bit far, compared with the current Gannan Army, the Northern Xinjiang Army is undoubtedly the most powerful. Otherwise, President Li would not dare to single-handedly attack the coalition of three warlords. He has been able to remain undefeated for so long, which is why many governors have crusaded against him, but they have to keep him in the presidency.
In this troubled world, the words that a big fist is the last word, not an empty word. It is the most direct and obvious embodiment in dealing with people and things and status. This is also the reason why, after this Grand Prince Li arrived in Gannan, he was humbled by Gannan Xu Jiajun and representatives of various provinces.
After presiding over Xu Bin's wedding, the young governor only talked about his meaning at the wedding ceremony. The delegates who came to congratulate him toasted three glasses of wine and refused to drink them again. In this regard, the unwilling representatives, as well as the representatives of all parties who came to participate in the celebration, had no choice but to focus on today's father-in-law and Xu Jiajun's generals who came to attend the wedding banquet.
It is rare that Xu Bin announced this time that these generals, who are usually restricted in drinking, can have fun this time. In addition, in order to confuse the secret agents of all parties who came to inquire about the military situation in Gannan, they felt that Xu Jiajun was still in the state of Ma Fang Nanshan. These generals began to take the initiative to take on the role of escorts, and they all looked very strange and polite. It seems that there is no such excitement as before when Xu Bin went to the military inn late at night and announced the battle order to them.
Maybe he guessed that Li Dagongzi's trip was not just to celebrate his marriage, but when the wedding banquet was almost held, Xu Bin sent someone to take Li Dagongzi. invited to the Governor's Palace, and gave this eldest prince Li, who was also eager to get a chance to be summoned alone, a chance to talk heartily.
After being polite, Mr. Li took the initiative to hand over the handwritten letter handed to him by his father. Opening the letter, Xu Bin saw President Li, who seemed to him to be very military. In the letter, he was extremely politely called him a rare acquaintance brother in Longhua Kingdom, although the two had never seen each other, but he was also eager for Xu Bin to see him once in the future. At that time, the two of them, the bandit governors, who were disgraced by the other warlord governors, believed that they would have a lot in common.
At the end of the letter, President Li also emphasized the situation in the frontier and the situation of the enemy and the enemy investigated by the Northern Xinjiang Army. Judging from the current attitude, it is imperative to fight the Changbai Army. Fighting this Changbai Army supported by the people of the Sun Country, President Li Da asked himself if he was not afraid.
But if the master behind it, the Sun National Army, participates in the war, then with the strength of his army, I am afraid that he will not be able to maintain the territorial integrity of the country. Although he was born in the green forest, as the head of state, what he hated and was most unwilling to do was to throw away what his ancestors had kept. Coupled with Changbai Dao, it was forcibly occupied by the Sun Country, and it was unable to return it due to lack of strength.
Now that the Sun Kingdom wants to occupy the four lands of his northern frontier, President Li Da is not sitting still no matter what. Determined to fight to the death with the Sun National Army to defend the territorial integrity of the country. It's just that fighting a war requires money and materials as a backing, and with today's Northern Xinjiang Army fighting hard, it is difficult to guarantee that the Sun Country, which has abundant troops and materials, will have a chance to take advantage of it. Therefore, although the letter does not explicitly say that it is borrowing money, the meaning of borrowing money is already clear in the letter.
When Xu Bin read the letter, Li Chengmin kept watching Xu Bin's expression, hoping to see a trace of expression on the young governor's face that could judge him. Unfortunately, he had not seen the anger or reluctance on the young governor's face.
It's still that approachable expression, that smiling expression that doesn't seem to be smiling, from the beginning to the end. From this point alone, Li Chengmin felt that his father's judgment of this young governor from the same path was really not wrong. To achieve today's results, this young governor is not at all a complete luck gentleman, as advertised outside.
After reading the letter, Xu Bin only had a strong worry and unwillingness in his heart, and what he was worried about was naturally what happened in Huaxia Kingdom in his previous life, which was also about to be staged in this time and space. Unwillingly, his current strength is still very weak, and he can't go on an expedition to the Sun Country and kill these little devils.
Mr. Li, who had been looking forward to Xu Bin's answer, soon heard what he wanted to hear the most, and the first thing Xu Bin said after reading the letter was: "Mr. Li, I am very grateful to your father for his respect to me. As a governor, it is a shame for my generation of soldiers to fail to contribute when the country is in trouble.
At the same time, I admire the president's ability to defend the military and the president's integrity, and not to allow other countries to occupy a piece of land. Although I can't do much in this matter. But if there is a problem with your army's funds, Xu can support some at that time.
In addition, as the president said, the Sun Country dared to ignore the opposition of the military and people of Longhua and resolutely raise troops to occupy the territory of Longhua. I will raise the power of Gannan to support the president in his fight against the National Protectorate. I also ask Li Gongzi to convey this to the president after he returns.
Although the situation in Gannan has improved slightly in recent years, and Xu does have some funds in his hands, he must also know it. This money is not owned by a single person, but the hard-earned money of the people of Gannan. I certainly can't afford more, so I can provide the president with 5 million dragon ocean military support free of charge. In addition, in the name of Xu Jiajun, he borrowed 15 million Long Yang from the Gannan Chamber of Commerce to make up 20 million Long Yang, I don't know if I can help your army and your father? ”
It is 20 million in one breath, although there is a gap with his father's hope to borrow a figure of 30 million to 50 million, but he can take the initiative to offer 20 million financial support. It is enough to prove that Xu Bin is indeed more supportive of his father's governance program than other warlords of Longhua Kingdom. At this point, Xu Bin deserves a good impression of Li Dagongzi!
