Chapter 703: Liwei

Wang Kemin is no stranger to later generations, he is one of the big traitor leaders who took refuge in the Japanese puppet, he was promoted in his early years, and then studied in Japan, and after he came back, he devoted himself to politics and rose to the top. He has served as the governor of the Bank of China and the Minister of Finance several times, and is also a hot figure in the Beiyang government.

But don't look at this guy who has been managing finances for many years, but he is not proficient in banking and currency, what this guy is best at is drilling, and he maintains a close relationship with foreign bankers. It was precisely by relying on Sino-Chinese relations that he was able to get some loans and the like, so he was trusted by the Beiyang government.

After the New People's Party took power, in line with the principle of smooth transition, the veteran Wang Daxie was appointed Minister of Finance and Wang Kemin was appointed Deputy Minister, but Wang Daxie was too old and in poor health, and daily affairs fell to Wang Kemin.

And Wang Kemin is also very proud of this, and often says to the people around him: Lao Tzu is a tumbler, an evergreen. No matter who comes to power, it depends on the face of foreigners, and it is inseparable from my Wang Kemin.

Although he said so, when he really faced Zhang Tinglan, especially his sharp gaze, Wang Kemin still felt a burst of fear, and his palms were already sweating.

"Vice President, I think the two things that Mr. Minister has come to mention are very important." Since he is dedicated to the foreign master, Wang Kemin can't help but help Aiston speak.

"There are such rampant thugs in Shandong, which can be targeted against the British today and against us tomorrow, and if they develop, they will inevitably become a great disaster, and we should make every effort to eliminate them, which can not only promote Sino-British relations, but also deter local small families, and will also be of great benefit to the new government. Having protected the safety of the British, the British Empire will definitely reciprocate. ”

The more Wang Kemin spoke, the more energetic he became, as if he was really thinking about Zhang Tinglan: "As for the issue of loans, as the saying goes, it is not difficult to borrow and repay. Lending is a matter of national creditworthiness. No matter how difficult the government is, it should give priority to guaranteeing the repayment of the loan, and it will still cooperate in the future, the British Empire has abundant capital, and it must not lose a big one because of a small one. Besides, the wealth of the three eastern provinces is amazing, and you pull out a sweat hair, which is thicker than other people's waists, which is not a problem at all. ”

Zhang Tinglan glanced at Wang Kemin, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "It's really not easy for Wang Jichang to speak bitterly. I'll think about both. ”

"Sending off!"

Zhang Tinglan suddenly turned around and left, and directly threw Aiston and Wang Kemin into the living room, Aiston was also determined to force Zhang Tinglan to make a promise, so he hurriedly stood up. Chase after it. However, Shen Hua stopped him: "This is the vice president's residence, not the embassy of the British Empire." Please also ask Mr. Minister not to trespass. Beware of any trouble! ”

When Aiston saw this situation, he could only leave angrily, and Wang Kemin followed closely like a dog.

After Zhang Tinglan returned to the back, he sat on the sofa, still full of anger. After a while, he said: "Shen Hua, how can you say that someone like Wang Kemin who eats something inside and outside can steal a high position, it's just nonsense!" ”

"Don't be angry. Some people have long said that the former Qing Dynasty was the court of foreigners, and most of the people in Beiyang are like this, and there are always some bastards who rely on the support of foreigners and climb to high positions. ”

"The court of foreigners!" Zhang Tinglan muttered a sentence and said with a wry smile: "Well said, Shen Hua, what should you do with this kind of bastard who is used to bowing to foreigners, kowtowing, looking up, and laughing?" ”

"Kill!" Shen Hua said murderously: "These guys are all Qin Hui's material, and they should have been disposed of a long time ago!" ”

Zhang Tinglan's face was solemn, she thought about it again and again, and then said: "Go, I have invited Chang Yinhuai and Mr. Zhang Taiyan, I have something to find them." ”

After a while, Chang Yinhuai and Zhang Taiyan rushed over, and when they saw Zhang Tinglan's face with anger, they all knew that something big might happen.

"Director Chang, immediately investigate the Ministry of Finance, the Bank of China, the Bank of Communications, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank, and find out all the supervisors at all levels, those who have corruption, those who collude with the foreign powers, and find out all these moths. Finance is to maintain the stability of the country, not to be used as a lackey for foreigners. ”

"That's right." Zhang Taiyan also smiled on the side: "I can't get used to it for a long time, these guys who manage banks and finances are in collusion with foreigners, how many financial fluctuations, there are their shadows behind them, and they should indeed be eradicated first!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Taiyan asked again: "To put it mildly, there are still a lot of foreigner consultants in these banks, how to deal with them?" ”

"All of them are driven out, whatever talents are needed, they are all transferred to me from Fengtian, in short, no unreliable people can be left!"

"Understood!" Chang Yinhuai and Zhang Taiyan agreed together and immediately started to investigate.

As soon as they left, Yang Yuting hurriedly walked in, holding a telegram in his hand and putting it in front of Zhang Tinglan.

"To put it mildly, this was sent by Zheng Shiqi, the deputy director of Shandong, and he took the initiative to ask for an order, demanding that Shandong's army be mobilized to carry out a search and arrest operation, and the rioters must be eliminated."

When Zhang Tinglan saw it, he couldn't help but be furious: "Sure enough, I got used to being a slave, and I couldn't help but help my master jump out, these guys are simply hateful." ”

Yang Yuting also hurriedly said: "That's right, this Zheng Shiqi is a direct person, I see if I will take the opportunity to take him down and take Shandong into my hands completely." ”

"Not necessarily!" Zhang Tinglan shook his head and said: "I have asked Chang Yinhuai and them to investigate the problem of the Ministry of Finance, and the food must be eaten one bite at a time, first control the finance, then the army, first the civil and then the military." But this Zheng Shiqi can't help but knock, you go and send an investigation team down to count the army in Shandong. ”

When Yang Yuting heard this, he also understood Zhang Tinglan's intentions, there is no one who has been an officer in these years who does not eat empty salaries, as long as he grabs Zheng Shiqi's pigtail in his hand, he will not worry about him turning out of the sky.

"As for the problem in Shandong, arrange for some police officers to go over and conduct a symbolic investigation, you are telling them to give me a little more heart, and don't embarrass the righteous people."

"Do you still need to provide a little intelligence support and material guarantee?" Yang Yuting asked with a smile.

"That's the best, and they also have a task, which is to investigate for me whether those businessmen who are very close to Britain have done anything wrong, whether they have evaded taxes, and once they are discovered, they will be severely punished."

Zhang Tinglan's attack can not be described as ruthless, he nominally sent people to investigate the case, but in fact he wanted to cut off one of the arms of the British.

Everyone knows that if these foreigners want to fish for resources and dump goods in China, they cannot do without the help of local snakes, and if these comprador merchants are cleared out, the economic interests of the British will suffer heavy losses.

There are constant attacks outside, and there are no lackeys inside, and there is no oil and water to squeeze, coupled with the demonstrations of the people, the British will definitely not be able to hold on, and sooner or later they will get out.

Yang Yuting also smiled knowingly: "Investigate the bandits and investigate the compradors." This method is too good, whoever let them live very closely with the British, if it is not good, it is their secret, it should be investigated, it must be thoroughly investigated! ”

After saying this, Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting were all hahadaxiao......

Wang Kemin is also a very shrewd figure, he also felt Zhang Tinglan's anger, and in the face of the vice president with a heavy army, Wang Kemin still felt fear, and he was restless for three days.

Therefore, I hurriedly invited a few old friends to come over to discuss together, including Tang Erhe, the general secretary of the Ministry of Education, Wang Yitang, the former secretary general of Yuan Shikai, and Niu Chuanshan and Liang Hongzhi.

They got together and discussed countermeasures together. If Zhang Tinglan saw this scene, he would sigh that it was really like things to gather people and groups, after the Japanese invasion, these guys defected to the enemy one after another and became shameful traitors. And now they are also smelly of each other, although they are Chinese officials, but their hearts are all on the bodies of foreigners, full of filial piety and virtuous grandchildren.

Wang Kemin first said: "Everyone, this Zhang Tinglan doesn't eat oil and salt, look at this meaning, he doesn't care about the Shandong case at all, and has angered the British, I really don't know what he thinks in his head, is this British so easy to offend?" ”

"Vice Chief Wang, you can't say that, after all, Zhang Tinglan has defeated Russia and Japan, and he has a strong army, and he has a little confidence in the face of the great powers." Tang Erhe said with a smile.

"Confident? Can the British and the Japanese be the same, that is the empire on which the sun never sets, stretching out such a small finger, you can poke Zhang Tinglan down. Niu Chuanshan sneered and said: "I think this Zhang Tinglan continues to do this, he won't be able to eat in Beijing for long, and sooner or later he will be kicked out of the customs, we can't make the wrong bet." ”

Wang Yitang closed his eyes and muttered for a while, and then said: "Zhang Zhuoyan can't be underestimated, but the British can't be offended, Deputy Chief Wang, I think it's better to go to President Li Da, with him coming forward, he can just suppress Zhang Tinglan." ”

"This is a good idea!" Wang Kemin said with a smile: "Shigong is really high-minded, I'll go find Li Yuanhong!" ”

Wang Kemin hurriedly got up and was about to go out, his family ran in in a panic, and when he saw Wang Kemin, he hurriedly said: "My lord is not good, a large group of military police have come outside and surrounded our mansion!" ”

"What, who is so bold as to surround my mansion, someone to call me to the police station, and someone to protect me!"

"Master, our phone line has been cut!"

When Wang Kemin heard this, he finally felt scared, and several other guys also changed color, which is not good news.

A few people haven't come up with a countermeasure, at this time a group of plainclothes military police have rushed in outside, and the one who walked in the front was Chang Yinhuai, the director of the Special Investigation Bureau, who saw that Wang Kemin, Wang Yitang and others were all there, and sneered: "Vice Chief Wang, you have done me a great favor, otherwise you have to find out one by one, and now it will save trouble."

Chang Yinhuai glanced at his subordinates and sneered: "Arrest them all for me, don't let one go!" (To be continued......)
