Chapter 15: I'm for Your Kindness (Collect)
Tang Yulin shook his tall body and walked over from the outside, just in time to bump into Lu Zhengxiong, Tang Yulin also looked down on this dog-fighting thing, but he snorted in his nose, and then he walked in front of Zhang Zuolin.
"Lao Qi, you are too reckless, the Japanese are not easy to mess with." Tang Yulin also saw Zhang Tinglan at this time, and glared at him fiercely: "Old Seven, as the saying goes, you can't do things well without hair, you are quite an assertive person, how can you listen to a child's words casually?" ”
Tang Yulin's face was full of disdain, and he continued: "Just rush this kid to arrest the Japanese today, I think he is a fool." Now everyone knows that the official of Mukden has two in-laws, one is Beiyang and the other is Japanese. If you want to be an official, ask Beiyang, and want to sit in a secure position, you have to look at Japan's face. You should understand this truth! ”
Tang Yulin has always been the number one general under Zhang Zuolin, and his status in the 27th Division is second only to Zhang Zuolin, and Lao Yuan also awarded him the rank of lieutenant general, on an equal footing with Zhang Zuolin, Tang Yulin is a little arrogant and arrogant, and he is not polite when he speaks.
Zhang Zuolin listened patiently, and then said: "Fourth brother, the Japanese are powerful, and my old Zhang is not a face-to-face. I have my own opinions about these Japanese, so I let them go for no reason, where will I put my face! ”
Tang Yulin's face became more and more gloomy: "I'll tell you the truth, that Japanese named Miki just came to me, and he said that we can not blame the matter of arresting and injuring the Japanese ronin, and even he is willing to help, just let you agree to a small condition!" ”
"On what terms?" Lao Zhang is also very curious about what the Japanese are calculating.
"Speaking of which, it's a gesture of effort, let us provide protection for his business in Mukden, and he also promised to provide a large loan, we don't know each other, and it's good to turn enemies into friends, so you just nod!"
"Seven masters, you must not agree!" When Zhang Tinglan heard this, he hurriedly interjected. Tang Yulin's face became gloomy, he stared at Zhang Tinglan deadly, and there was fire in his eyes.
However, Zhang Tinglan didn't care about him, but said directly to Lao Zhang: "During this time, Japan has made frequent moves in Mukden, establishing shops, suppressing local merchants, and buying land. I think they have only one purpose for these moves, and that is to control Mukden's commerce. Since last year, a large-scale war broke out among the European powers, and all the powers, except for Japan and the United States, were swept up in it, and when the cannons went off, there were ten thousand taels of gold, and they consumed an astonishing amount of money every day. Therefore, there is an urgent need for foreign supplies, and Japan's products are limited, and their purpose of controlling Mukden's commerce is obvious! ”
"It's been a long time, it's using our things to make money for them, these little devils are really not things!" Lao Zhang instantly figured out that if he cooperated with Japan at this time, it would be tantamount to betraying the interests of the Northeast, and Lao Zhang would never agree. He turned to Tang Yulin and said, "Fourth brother, if there is something for the Japanese to come to me directly, don't bother you!" ”
Tang Yulin saw that Lao Zhang had made up his mind, and he didn't want to say anything, so he flicked his sleeves, turned to leave, and glared at Zhang Tinglan viciously before leaving.
After sending Tang Yulin away, it was already evening, Lao Zhang and Zhang Tinglan talked carefully for a while, they knew that tomorrow was the real time of the test, and whether they could gain fame and fortune depends on tomorrow.
Soon the night passed, and at about 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, someone reported to Zhang Zuolin that Yada, the Japanese consul general in Mukden, had come to ask for an audience.
"Seventh master, the big drama has started, and the little nephew will watch your performance!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile.
"Stinky boy, I don't see a few little devils yet, you see."
Zhang Zuolin was dressed in civilian clothes, walked out of the Shuai Mansion quickly, and said from afar: "Consul General Yada, there was a magpie outside just now, I think it's a good thing, it turns out that you are here, please come in!" ”
Zhang Zuolin's face was full of smiles, and he reached out and grabbed Yada, looking extremely affectionate. Yada was also unexpected, he came this time to hold back his anger and come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, Lao Zhang was so affectionate, but he didn't know what to do.
There was also a gloomy middle-aged man behind him, it was Miki, who was the one he encouraged Yada to come to ask for someone, and now he was also confused and couldn't figure out the situation.
Lao Zhang does have the potential to be an actor, he was extremely enthusiastic to pull Yada into the tiger hall, and ordered someone to pour fragrant tea, and the maid sent melons and fruits, candied fruits and other things like butterflies flying back and forth, and the enthusiastic Yada couldn't stand it anymore.
"Division Commander Zhang, there is no need to do this, I came this time to resolve the misunderstanding between us, I heard that your 27th Division has detained a few of our compatriots, this is a very unfriendly behavior, I hope you can release them as soon as possible, and make some compensation, and not let a little thing affect the friendship between us."
As soon as Zhang Zuolin heard that the other party was going straight in, he also shook his spirits and entered the state. Lao Zhang's eyebrows raised slightly: "Mr. Yada, I, Lao Zhang, have always been respectful to the Japanese, and there is nothing to offend in the slightest, don't you say?" ”
Lao Zhang said the truth, and Yada could only nod.
Lao Zhang's tone became a little angry: "But what do you Japanese do, do you treat me Zhang as a friend?" Sihai Grain Store is a grain store that my nephew Zhang Tinglan just acquired, just to make a few pocket money, and a dozen of you ronins knocked on the door, is this the way to make friends? ”
What Zhang Zuolin said was also the truth, but Yada was a little passive, he just heard Miki say that Zhang Zuolin arrested the Japanese, and he didn't know that the grain store was opened by Zhang Zuolin's people, he glanced at Miki behind him.
Miki was relatively calm: "Senior Commander Zhang, this is a misunderstanding, we didn't know in advance that it was the property of the 27th Division. And as early as more than a month ago, we took a fancy to that shop, and now you suddenly took over, I suspect that Master Zhang deliberately went against us Japanese. ”
"What a big crime, I can't afford it." Zhang Zuolin is also an old fritter, where will Miki be asked. sneered and said: "The business is about your love and my wishes, we buy it is ours, you Japanese are rude, do you still let us fight back, scold and not return the mouth?" ”
"Master Zhang, we are still good friends, it's not good to hurt the harmony for such a small thing, I think it's better to settle it peacefully!" Yada spoke again: "I have several proposals for solving this matter, first, please ask Master Zhang to release him immediately; Second, the division commander must ensure that your subordinates cannot harm the Japanese; The third grain store was handed over to Mr. Miki to operate. Of course, we will not infringe on the interests of Master Zhang, on the contrary, we will further cooperate with you. ”
"That's right, Master Zhang, as long as you can agree to cooperate with us and help us get more shops, I am willing to share 20% of the profits with Master Zhang, and I can also take a loan of one million yuan to help Master Zhang expand his strength, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Zhang Zuolin already agreed with Zhang Tinglan's judgment in his heart, these Japanese are indeed eyeing the commercial interests of Mukden. Lao Zhang took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "The conditions look good, but let me think about it." ”
"Master Zhang, you have to know that the patience of the Great Japanese Empire is limited, you have arrested our people, we will repay our grievances with virtue and provide you with a loan, there is no such thing in the world!" Miki said gloomily again.
Yada also said: "Master Zhang, after arresting the Japanese, there has never been an understatement of the past, everyone has to pay the price, but Master Zhang is an exception, isn't it enough to show our friendship?" ”
At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Two gentlemen, you are mistaken, in fact, it is for your sake that the Japanese ronin who made trouble is detained, and it is really a big mistake for you to threaten us with this matter!" ”
It was Zhang Tinglan, who walked quickly in front of Yada and Miki, and put something in front of them with a smile on his face.
