Chapter 138: Gently Gone
Zhang Zuolin sent a large number of people to look for it, and after looking for it for most of the night, Duan Zhigui did not appear, Zhang Zuolin's heart was still hanging, if there was a problem with His Highness, it would be really difficult to end.
However, just when he was anxious, Duan Zhigui took the initiative to appear, accompanied by several Japanese, and returned to the mansion smoothly. However, his face was pale and his mental condition was very poor, and he was obviously severely stimulated and had not yet recovered. Zhang Zuolin led his subordinates to greet him, and after meeting, he hurriedly pleaded guilty.
"General, it was all unfavorable to make Lin restrained, which frightened the general, please forgive me."
Duan Zhigui snorted from his nostrils, obviously still full of opinions, and a Japanese man who came with him took a few steps closely, with a humble smile on his face.
"Presumably you are the famous General Zhang Zuolin, the contemptible name is Katsuta Nakamichi, the new manager of the North Korean Bank, not long after arriving in Mukden, I will ask General Zhang to take more care of him in the future, we will be good friends, and work together to develop the three eastern provinces."
Lao Zhang didn't know this guy, but he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, and his face was full of smiles: "You're welcome, there are still too many places where we have to rely on Japan, I don't know how you met the general?" ”
"If I hadn't met a few Japanese friends, I wouldn't have had my head, Zhang Yuting, how did you restrain the military discipline, and that Feng Delin, did he want to rebel!" Duan Zhigui was furious, and a patrol envoy was scared away, if he hadn't met the Japanese, he really wouldn't have the courage to come back.
The situation gradually stabilized, Lao Zhang appeared with his people, Duan Zhigui understood the situation, and only then did he dare to come back, ashamed and angry, his words were very polite. Of course, it was also a few Japanese who gave him courage.
"General Zhang, we met General Duan Shang by chance at the bank gate, it may be that you have some misunderstanding, and it is inconvenient for us Japanese to interfere, I just hope that you will try your best to ensure the safety of General Duan, and I will take my leave."
Just as he was about to leave, Katsuta Nakamichi smiled at Duan Zhigui and said, "General Duan, I hope you can remember our agreement and implement it as soon as possible." ”
Duan Zhigui saw that Shengtian was leaving, and he was still a little reluctant. If he didn't have this backer, he really didn't dare to face Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, the two bandit leaders, but Katsuda seemed full of confidence, and this kind of thing was an impulse, just wait until the impulse passed. No one wants to die.
Katsuta Nakamichi swaggered away, and Zhang Tinglan kept an eye on this guy on the side. Katsuta looks tall and sven. It's not the same as the usual Japanese image.,Speech and demeanor are very polite.,At first glance, it's a good haode family education.。
Zhang Tinglan is instinctively wary of this kind of person, as the saying goes, a dog that bites does not show its teeth, and the more arrogant and domineering it is, the easier it is to deal with. And this kind of politeness and politeness makes people even more jealous.
And Zhang Tinglan got at least two important information from his words, the first is that his identity is the manager of the Bank of North Korea, and the second is that he seems to have a deal with Duan Zhigui.
These two points alone made Zhang Tinglan's heart tremble. I felt that something was wrong. The Bank of Korea is a colonial bank established after Japan annexed the peninsula, which initially only controlled Korea, and later extended its hand to the three eastern provinces.
In its original history, the Bank of Korea replaced the Jeongjin Bank in November 1916 and gained the power to issue currency in the three eastern provinces, quickly becoming a giant in the financial order of the three eastern provinces.
In the new historical time and space, Zhengjin Bank suffered heavy losses because of Zhang Tinglan's toss, especially the Russian bonds became a pile of waste paper, which made Zhengjin Bank hurt its muscles and bones, almost to the extent that it was unsustainable.
Zhang Tinglan had already asked the official bank to come forward and exchange the Japanese bank bills in the hands of the people of Fengtian and turn them into bills, and when it was time for Japan to inject capital, Zhang Tinglan took out those bank bills again and asked Zhengjin Bank to exchange them.
For this kind of behavior, the roots of the Japanese popularity itched, but they did not dare to refuse directly, otherwise the credit of the Bank of Japan would completely collapse, but I was afraid that the Chinese people would no longer dare to use the Bank of Japan bills, and the losses would be even greater, so the Japanese could only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
Since Zhang Tinglan bought the Bank of Japan bills at a discount, he now made more than 30% of the profits by exchanging them, and Zhengjin Bank can be said to be seriously injured and temporarily unable to affect the financial situation in Northeast China.
Therefore, the Japanese were forced to have no choice but to let the Bank of Korea replace the Jeongjin Bank, and the mission of Katsuta Nakamichi was to restore Japan's financial order in Mukden.
This guy is also from a famous family, and his father is Katsuta, a famous Japanese financial bureaucrat who now serves as the president of the Bank of Korea. Katsuta Nakamichi, who was born into a famous family, has an extraordinary talent in the economy, and is regarded as a new star of the generation, and was sent to Mukden in his early thirties to take charge of his own affairs.
Japan is a country that pays great attention to seniority, and it was not Katsuta's turn to come, but the huge loss of the Zhengjin Bank made Japan feel painful, so it was decided to send a more agile and courageous figure, and Katsuta Nakamichi became the lucky one.
After he arrived in Mukden, he was not in a hurry to do anything, but worked hard to collect information from all aspects, especially in the economic field of Mukden, he went to the North Market, visited the industrial group, and was also extremely interested in several factories in Mukden.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, Katsuta feels that the defeat of Zhengjin Bank is completely caused by carelessness, and that any enemy, no matter how weak or weak, must be carefully studied, and must not be hot-headed, which is also what his father has warned him many times.
Katsuta Nakamichi had just returned from a Japanese ronin, and His Royal Highness Duan, who was in a panic, ran over, and they happened to bump into him.
Speaking of Duan Zhigui, he was unlucky enough, Feng Delin rushed towards Shuai with a large army, he ran directly from the back door, and there were gunshots from time to time along the way, His Royal Highness Duan was frightened, and he was bent on escaping, but he was not familiar with the road, and he ran away with his own guards, and the situation was as bad as it was.
Finally, he met Katsuta Nakamichi, and as soon as he saw that he was Japanese, he hurriedly asked for help. Duan Zhigui knew that no matter how rampant Feng Delin was, he would not dare to attack the Japanese. Katsuta also noticed that Duan Zhigui was wearing something unusual, so he took the initiative to invite him to the Bank of North Korea, kindly comforted him, talked heartily, and sent someone to check the situation, and Zuihou sent Duan Zhigui back to the mansion.
This is what happened in the past, seeing Katsuta Nakado leave, Duan Zhigui finally re-entered his mansion. At a glance, Duan Zhigui's eyebrows were about to stand up, the door was smashed, the shadow wall was also damaged, and the doors and windows of the main hall were damaged. The contents are even more scattered.
In fact, this is the result of Zhang Tinglan ordering to clean up and redeem a lot of things. Otherwise, it will be even worse. There was nothing valuable left, the corners of Duan Zhigui's mouth twitched, and there were only two words left over and over again: robber!
At this time, Feng Delin couldn't pretend to be stupid, he had to walk in front of Duan Zhigui, and when he saw Feng Delin at first glance, Duan Zhigui was still a little scared. His face changed color, if it weren't for Zhang Zuolin beside him, Feng Delin wouldn't dare to do anything excessive, and he wanted to run away with his severed limbs.
"General. People are frightened, Feng Delin pleads to you on behalf of the brothers of the 28th Division! Lao Feng said to Duan Zhigui, "Brothers, I am reckless for a while, and I also ask the general to have a large number, don't mind." ”
"How dare you, my little life is in the hands of your Master Feng, when you are not happy to rush in again, it will not be to smash something, just go directly to me!"
"General, the brothers were a little resentful yesterday, and it is inevitable that they can't control their emotions, which is understandable!"
"Resentment? If you have a grudge, you can attack my mansion, you can rob me of my things? Besides, I sent you all the grain and the ocean, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? While speaking, Duan Zhigui had already walked quickly to his study, only to see that the furniture on the haode Huanghuali was damaged a lot, and most of the things on the Hundred Treasure Pavilion were gone, which were all Duan Zhigui's favorite collections, and now that they were all gone, he was almost mad.
"Is that what people eat?" Kan Chaoxi on the side suddenly roared loudly: "You still have the face to say food, give us some things that pigs don't eat, and the ocean is all inferior, we came to you to judge, you ran away by yourself, you are unkind to me, what happened to us can't be blamed!" ”
Kan Chaoxi is a loud voice, he shouted and shouted like this, he really calmed Duan Zhigui, and now General Duan is alone, and he really has no capital to turn his face.
Lao Zhang hurriedly came over at this time: "General, something has happened, don't be angry yet, let's discuss a solution." ”
Duan Zhigui was also stunned when he heard Lao Zhang's words, things have come to this point, how can it end, he was so frightened by Feng Delin that he ran around Shijie, he would definitely become a laughing stock in the world, at least no one in Fengtian would be in awe of him. And I don't have the face to continue to stay in Mukden, so I should hurry up and tell my godfather to go back to Beijing by myself, this bandit nest in the three eastern provinces is really not a place for people to stay.
Thinking of this, Duan Zhigui sneered and said: "This matter can't be solved by Duan, I'll send a telegram to Bixia now, whatever is there, it will be decided by Bixia, and the disrespectful elders will inevitably be dealt with." ”
Duan Zhigui threw down a cruel word, and found his staff and asked them to send a telegram to Yuan Shikai as soon as possible to report the situation in Fengtian.
In the telegram, Duan Zhigui was full of bitter tears, written sadly, saying that the Fengjun was wild and untamable, and there was no such thing as a patrol envoy in the eyes of the arrogant soldiers, let alone the emperor, and if he stayed any longer, he didn't know when his head would be gone.
After His Royal Highness Duan reported Lao Yuan, he didn't wait for a call back, he began to pack his luggage and prepare to return to Beijing.
As soon as Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin saw Duan Zhigui like this, they had no choice but to leave temporarily, the mood of the two was completely different, Feng Delin was full of chagrin, and at the same time had some faint worries, if Yuan Shikai really had to ask about it, what should he do.
Lao Feng couldn't stop looking at Zhang Zuolin, and he felt more and more that this was a conspiracy of Director Lao Zhang, in order to frame him Feng Delin and make him lose points in front of Yuan Shikai. Lao Zhang is also full of acting skills, and he can't see a trace of schadenfreude at all, but said very sincerely: "Brother Feng, you don't have to worry, what responsibility do you have, my brother will bear it with you, Lao Yuan will never dare to do anything to us, Fengtian still depends on you to stabilize!" ”
Zhang Zuolin continued to pour ecstasy soup into Feng Delin, but after returning to the Shuai Mansion, Lao Zhang's face was full of joy, Duan Zhigui was finally going to get out, Fengtian would have the final say in the future, and it was best for Lao Yuan to hand over the three eastern provinces to him, so that Lao Zhang would be the king of the Northeast!
A bitter child was born, and he once fell into the grass, but now he has climbed to such a high position, this is definitely a perfect counterattack, Lao Zhang can be called an inspirational model.
"Seventh master, Duan Zhigui is out, of course it is worth being happy, but the Japanese named Katsuta Nakamichi probably can't be underestimated, what did he talk about with Duan Zhigui, and what conspiracy he had, this is what we need to figure out."
Lao Zhang's eyes narrowed, nodded and said, "That's right, that guy is a smiling tiger, it's uncomfortable to look at, and you have to be more careful." (To be continued......)
