Chapter 142, North to Tianjin 2

Back at home, Yuko Kitajima greeted Wang Tianmu, took the coat he took off, and hung it on the hanger. The current identity of Wang Tianmu in Tianjin is a Japanese businessman, and Jiang Qiang also specially arranged Yuko Kitajima to Wang Tianmu's side, "I'm going to Lao Zhou!" "What's the instructions from home?" Wang Tianmu sat down and asked. "It's still a seed thing, let's get it as soon as possible, and then ship it back!" Yuko Kitajima said. "Well, the seed matter has been solved, and Wilson has already sent the rice seeds we want to Lao Huo!" "Well, now it's a question of how to get it out." Yuko Kitajima asked. "We don't have to worry about this, the seeds arrive in the warehouse, and we don't need to worry about how to transfer them!" Wang Tianmu said, "Today I told a big lie to that Wilson, when I have a headache, how can I continue?" "What did you say?" "I told Wilson that I want to run a farm in China, so I need a lot of rice seeds, and I will continue to need them in the future, this Wilson's seed company is about to go bankrupt, we can save him, and say that we will pay for his company!" Wang Tianmu said. "This is a big problem, what are you going to do next?" Kitajima Yuko couldn't help frowning when she heard this, if Wang Tianmu couldn't let Wilson relieve his doubts, it would be a big trouble. But if you can explain, it's even more troublesome! "If the fake show is really done, the funds we have on hand will be a little insufficient, and we must apply for funds from above!" Wang Tianmu said.

"No, if a large amount of money comes over at this time, it will be easy to be discovered." Yuko Kitajima said. "What if it's from abroad?" Wang Tianmu said. "It's not impossible, but I'm afraid it will be more complicated in this way, we have to figure it out ourselves!" Yuko Kitajima said. "Can't we conjure money out of thin air?" "Our original fund is 200,000 oceans, if we use 30,000 US dollars to buy Wilson's seed company, then there are less than 50,000 oceans left, rent a house and a façade, and pay a year's rent in advance, which is 3,000 oceans, we still have to pay Wilson seed fees, and in the end we have a maximum of about 30,000 oceans in our hands!" Yuko Kitajima said.

Japanese Concession Wharf. It has been almost two months since Wang Hu and Liu Qingshan joined the foot walk, and in the past two months, while they have been working hard to support themselves, they have also explored the situation of more than 80 wharves on both sides of the Haihe River. They were the five people who came to Tianjin with Wang Tianmu, and these two people arranged to work as coolies at the wharves, and each concession had its own wharf, and a large number of foreign goods were transported from foreign countries to be unloaded on these wharves. From these wharves they were loaded with industrial raw materials and local products purchased from the mainland. There are more than 4,000 coolies engaged in loading and unloading at more than 80 terminals. In addition, there are a large number of stevedores in warehouses, warehouses, and large factories and enterprises, which are called stationed in the factory. However, these goods transported in and out, the wharf foot shop and the resident foot shop cannot be directly transported into the city and then transferred to the mainland, nor can the goods from the mainland be transported to the wharf from the city, but also rely on the foot of the city to and from the wharf.

Trade is inseparable from transportation, the foot line controls the transportation, and the green gang controls the foot line. The transportation of international trade through the concession was also controlled by the foot and the green gang. The more important wharf foot shops and factory foot shops in the concession are all well-known Green Gang members. For example, Yuan Wenhui, the head of the Central Bureau who controlled the transportation of the wharf in the Japanese Concession, the head of the Zizhulin foot line in the French Concession "Sanbatian", and Zhang Fenglou, the foot line of Xiaoliuzhuang. Yang Juxiang of Dalian Wharf, the "Eight King Kongs" of China Merchants Bureau, the original wharf of the Russian and Belgian concessions was to control the Tonghe Chengjiao line in the Zhigu area, and the British Concession was to control the Shuangyi Bureau of Yizhong, Qixin, Bunemen, and Asia Minor companies. and the same company that controls the first cotton spinning factory and the Mobil oil company, etc. The leaders of the footwork are all vulgar people who only know how to exploit coolies and do misdeeds, and these people are generally local snakes, with their own territory, and generally operate in China. Commonly known as "gangsters"!

The Green Gang is on the word generation, the rational character generation is basically gone, the highest generation is the big character generation, this generation is basically old, either the wind and candle are old, or the old age, the stage is the "Tong" word generation, "Ta Kung Pao" interview director Zhang Xunzhi, is the Qing Gang "Tong" generation, this person is exquisite, and Sun Zhiyuan has a close personal relationship, and there is some collusion with the Japanese, as well as Yuan Wenhui's master Bai Yunsheng, who is rampant in the Japanese concession. Kenji Dohihara also worshipped under the name of Wei Dake, the predecessor of the Green Gang, according to the generation of the Green Gang, he is also a disciple of the "Tong" generation! These are actually not secrets, but it is impossible for ordinary people to know, and many people are now in high positions and powers, and they don't pay attention to the seniority of the Green Gang at all, and they don't even want their history to be known to the outside world. After all, the reputation of these gangs is not very good.

Jiang Qiang sent Wang Hu to come to Tianjin quietly and infiltrated the Green Gang as a coolie to find out the situation, the purpose was to find out the relationship between them. Although the information provided by Wang Tianmu is also detailed enough, the actual situation can only be confirmed by seeing it with his own eyes! Jiang Qiang hated the gang forces, because the gangs were mainly composed of middle- and lower-class people, most of whom had no education, and their own quality was low, so it was easy to embark on the evil road! Moreover, the gang forces are engaged in some gray area operations, most of which are illegal, pornography, violence, drugs and gambling, as long as it is a gang, it is basically impossible not to label it as such. A little more decent, but also know not to touch drugs, usury, pornography, as well as gambling, protection money, etc., this is already quite self-disciplined!

Today, the Green Gang has long deviated from the original intention of its founders and has become an underworld organization that the common people talk about! At the time of the founding of the revolution, it did receive the help of some gang members, and many of them themselves had gang identities, but until today, the Republic of China has been established for 25 years, and the Nanjing government has not officially recognized the organization of the Youth Gang as legal! The simple reason is that no government would recognize a discredited gang as legitimate. The Nanjing government did not dare to defy the condemnation of the world and recognize the legal status of the Green Gang! However, because the power of the Green Gang is intertwined, its tentacles extend to the military, politics, and business circles, and it has strong connections and influence, no one dares to put forward it, and they want to ban the "Green Gang", or rather, legalize the "Green Gang"! However, if Jiang Qiang and the others take over Tianjin, they must not allow the Qing Gang to run rampant, especially when it comes to drug smuggling. It was also the same as Shanghai to send all the members of the Green Gang to Myanmar to work as coolies.

Opium must not be allowed to continue to poison the Chinese people, since he has entered Tianjin, he must work for the welfare of the people of Tianjin, not to be a good gentleman. The Japanese accounted for a large proportion of opium smuggling in Tianjin, especially the opium smoke houses in the Japanese Concession, which had a tendency to be rampant! On the one hand, the Japanese used opium to destroy the body and spirit of the Chinese people, and on the other hand, they could make huge profits to support the domestic arms expansion and war, and prepare for the next step of aggression against China. This is also the reason why Jiang Qiang asked Wang Hu to change his identity to go undercover in the Green Gang, and he also chose Yuan Wenhui, the leader of the Green Gang, who was in collusion with the Japanese. Wang Hu and Liu Qingshan have been working as coolies for two months and have a general understanding of the situation, but after all, their time as coolies is too short, and even the Green Gang is not qualified to join, but Wang Hu is righteous and literate, and soon became the leading figure in the coolies, and some people have gathered around him. "Brother Hu, they have moved again tonight, are we ......" Liu Qingshan whispered during the meal. Got it, we have to figure out the dock where they unloaded tonight, then make a note of it, and wait for the opportunity! Wang Hu nodded. Be! "We have to keep one person, we must not underestimate these gangsters, there are smart people among them!" Wang Hu said. "I'll go there, you stay!" Liu Qingshan said. "No, I'll go, you stay!" Wang Hu shook his head and said.

How to open up the situation in Tianjin, Lu Shan himself just gave Wang Tianmu and Wang Hu a goal or direction, how to do it, he let these two groups of people play freely. Even if he learned some information about Tianjin from the information, after all, he did not actually investigate. There must be discrepancies between the content of the text and the actual situation, so for these two groups of people, Lu Shan has no hard and fast rules, what to do, what to start, everything is up to them to explore or decide. Of course, it doesn't matter how Jiang Qiang does it, he can't control it, but what to decide to do, how to do it, they still have to report, at least they can give some guidance or something, after all, he has decades of historical experience! Of course, due to the lag of information transmission, some things can only be cut first and then played, which is also the power given to them by Jiang Qiang! If you don't have this power and ability, everyone is waiting for instructions and reports before doing it, and the daylily will be cold!

Wang Hu started with the Green Gang, and this Jiang Qiang gave advice, but from which aspect, the concession is still Chinese, and the bottom is still the middle level, so they can grasp it themselves. Of course, starting from the grassroots level is the slowest, but it is only the most solid, and it is not easy to be suspected. Wang Hu chose this safe path, which made Jiang Qiang relieved and more at ease with Wang Hu! After all, undercover work is very dangerous, but it is not possible to rush for quick success, and any risky behavior may lead to identity exposure and even failure. And Wang Tianmu's choice of direction surprised Jiang Qiang, and he asked him to find a way to get some rice varieties. But he didn't expect that he would want to go farming! Farming is a big input, a small output. In particular, the current situation of grain prices at home and abroad is very sluggish.

On the one hand, grain prices are extremely low, and the United States has no place to sell more grain. However, there is a shortage of food in many places in China, and there are not a few people who die of hunger, not because there is too much food to eat, but because the people have no money to buy food, coupled with political turmoil. The factor of war! Although the price of food is very low, if the import is open, the blow to agriculture will be extremely severe! However, the Nanjing government does not have any extra financial resources to subsidize the peasants, so it will force a large number of peasants to give up growing grain, or reduce planting, and the price of grain will fall, and the value of land will inevitably dive, and land annexation will inevitably be a climax at this time! In order to survive, the peasants who owned their own arable land were forced to sell their land, and the land was transferred to the landlords and capitalists! Once the land is in the hands of a few. That would herald the beginning of national turmoil, which is an objective law of history. For a large agricultural country like China, where land is the foundation of survival, it is conceivable that the vast majority of the population of farmers have no arable land.

In China, since ancient times, the change of dynasty has been carried out by the peasants at the lowest level, or in other words, by a group of people at the lower level, armed with advanced ideas. Completed the feat of changing the dynasty! In the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu was just a small pavilion chief, and according to the current level, he was a town chief. An official the size of a sesame seed. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was an out-and-out destitute man, a monk, a real proletariat. Don't talk about Tang and Song. Although the Tang Dynasty is known as a prosperous era, it cannot be done without the accumulation in the early stage, and the accumulation of Han cultural inheritance has reached a peak. When the Song Dynasty changed, it seemed relatively calm, but with the Song Dynasty, the culture was prosperous, but it castrated the blood of the Han people! The elite rule of the Shidaifu is a characteristic that will throw away the bloody courage of the Chinese in their bones.

Although the military people have the problem of being reckless in governing the country, at least the country will never give in to the defense of foreign aggression! If there is a strong enemy outside, it is necessary for strong warriors to lead the country to resist foreign aggression, and for external deterrence, it is necessary to replace the elite of scholars with gentle means to govern the country, and the elite of scholars and doctors is still stronger than the warriors in running the country. Once a country chooses the wrong path, the disaster is devastating!

Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has industrialized rapidly, and in just a few decades, Japan has risen rapidly and become an industrialized country, with the economy and science and technology occupying the first place in Asia. However, Japan's agriculture has developed relatively slowly, and because the Japanese have many people and few land, the grain output is not high, and it is not enough for their own domestic use, so they need to be imported. In addition, the Japanese peasants are actually very poor, perhaps not much worse than China, so communism also has a considerable market in Japan, and with the deterioration of Japan's economic situation, more and more people at the bottom are dissatisfied with the foreign expansion policy of those in power! If the army can always achieve victory and plunder a large number of materials from other countries, it will naturally alleviate the contradiction of domestic resource tilt, but once it fails, it will trigger a chain reaction! Dead people, spend money, but in the end get nothing, social contradictions will inevitably accumulate and even erupt at a certain point! Defeat would also trigger political turmoil and great diplomatic difficulties. Japan is also an island country, which looks very strong, but its ability to resist risks is very poor, which cannot be compared with China, which is rich in land and resources, but poor and backward!

Poverty and backwardness are only temporary, China cannot be poor and backward forever, once he is given the opportunity to rise, then the first to suffer is the neighbors who used to bully him. Japan is afraid, once China returns to the period of the Tang Dynasty, will Japan still have a way to live? Japan has been living in this shadow for thousands of years, will it continue to live in this shadow for the next thousand years? Japan is ambitious and tries to change the situation, but it also exposes the nature of their weakness and fear! If Japan wants to expand and immigrate, it is necessary to alleviate the pressure at home, and secondly, to alleviate the many problems caused by the limited land area and population rise! The urban proletarians and landless peasants were a group of people who desperately needed a way out for Japan, and if they were to be emigrated to China, they would not only increase their control over the occupied areas of China, but also divert the revolutionary pressure that had arisen at home! Wang Tianmu's identity also has a lot of credibility in doing this. And you can take this opportunity to participate in Japan's domestic politics and break into Japan! The initial goal was to use Hayashi Kutaro's identity to obtain information on the Japanese economy, and the long-term goal was to control Japan after the war.

Hayashi Kutaro may be recorded in the annals of the Yamato nation. Jiang Qiang thought far ahead. There is no doubt that China won the War of Resistance, but after the war, the United States occupied Japan, and later did so many things, which made the Chinese very aggrieved. Very uncomfortable. Even if the United States has made great efforts to force Japan to surrender, in order to contain China, it is not right to keep instigating Japan to create friction and hinder our development! It is necessary to solve the problem from the source, Japan belongs to Asia, and Asian affairs can only be solved by Asian countries, and Japan must be occupied by China! Occupying Japan after the war was Jiang Qiang's goal hidden in his heart, although he had also said it to Tang Juwu and other inner circles. But there are not many people who really take it seriously! If Tang Juwu and the others knew that Jiang Qiang had arranged for Wang Tianmu and Yuko Kitajima to go to Tianjin, he had already thought about the post-war matters, and I was afraid that he would be shocked and didn't know what to say.

"Taro, the family said that they agree with our plan, and Lao Zhou may no longer serve as our downline!" Yuko Kitajima said. "What's going on?" "The family said that for our safety, the person who contacted the hometown must be replaced!" Yuko Kitajima said. "Hmm. Yes, but it won't be changed immediately, and the family is looking for a candidate, probably a Japanese! Yuko Kitajima said. I know. You can't be too diligent when you go to Lao Zhou, although no one doubts us now, but you still have to be cautious! Wang Tianmu said. I know, now it's all short films, and I'm basically going to go once every three or four days. Yuko Kitajima said. The shops in front of us are all idle, so why don't we open a department store? It's better to have some income than to be empty? Wang Tianmu said. It's up to you, the cost of opening a department store is not very large, as long as there is sufficient supply! Kitajima Yuko said, "Aren't we going to set up a trading company, so we can import it from abroad and sell it in our store?" "Well, yes, I have to go buy land, I'm afraid this matter is going to fall on you." Wang Tianmu said. "I know, basically no one in Tianjin knows me, and besides, I've disappeared for more than half a year, and everyone thinks I'm dead, and my appearance has changed a little, even if it's an acquaintance, you don't necessarily have to recognize me!" Yuko Kitajima said.

"That's good, I don't have to worry about anything else, I'm worried that your identity will be exposed!" Wang Tianmu said. "Don't worry, I'll take notice!" Yuko Kitajima nodded. "Wang Tianmu reported that Tufeiyuan is very active in North China, and almost every day some of our people meet for dinner, playing the card of goodwill and friendship, and some important people in Beiyang political circles have been persuaded by him to act as lobbyists between the government and the Japanese!" Jiang Qiang said. "These people are simply shameless!" "Huh. When the national crisis is at the head, we can see the true face of a person clearly, and it is good for these people to be exposed, which can make us more vigilant! Jiang Qiang said. It seems that Nanjing is under great threat from the Japanese fleet, and in the Pacific Ocean, only the US Pacific Fleet can compete with the Japanese fleet, but the US fleet will never go to war with the Japanese! "We ignored the power of the Japanese army at sea, and now Japan is forcing us to back down with a powerful navy, this is obvious!" Yes, our navy was completely lost in the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, and today's national navy is said to be the three major fleets, but in fact, it can only patrol the coastal waters at all, and if the Japanese army attacks from the sea, then our fragile coastal defense is not vulnerable at all! "The target adversary of the Japanese Navy is not ours, it is the Pacific Fleet of the Americans, and the army and navy have always been at odds, and this time the army suffered a loss, and the navy actually came to help, which is very rare!" "Although the Japanese army and navy are not in harmony, they have the same idea of foreign expansion, and the current Japanese Prime Minister Saito was originally a navy admiral, and it is not uncommon to say that the navy is used to support the army!"

"The Japanese Army has first-class individual soldiers, weapons and equipment can only be said to be second-rate to third-rate, and the quality of officers is also good, but most of the generals are conservative in thinking, rigid in combat, copying dogma, and inflexible, so the Japanese Army can only be regarded as second-rate!" Jiang Qiang said. "But!" When Qin Siyu wanted to say something, "The combat effectiveness of an army does not depend on advanced equipment and flashy war theories, but also on the spirit of this army, the Japanese army, which is armed with bushido, can definitely reach the quasi-first-class level in combat effectiveness!" In fact, we are on the same starting line as the Japanese Army, and the quality of their soldiers is not necessarily higher than ours, of course, the quality of their officers is stronger than ours, and we have to admit that there is no way, our country has been in turmoil and oppressed by foreign powers for nearly a hundred years, and there is no decent military school, let alone systematically training our officers. And Japanese officers basically start attending junior military schools when they are young, and then rise step by step, all the way to the Army University, we don't have any of these! At the same time that Jiang Qiang was communicating with Qin Siyu, the train had already entered Tianjin.
