April 1, 19o9 (the first year of Xuantong), Beijing, Jinluan Palace.

"Yuan Gongbao, please leave it to you in the future...... Woo woo woo ......" After the Empress Dowager Longyu said this, she burst into tears.

"Please rest assured that as long as the abdication edict is announced, the revolutionary army in the south will naturally cease. Yuan Shikai held the abdication edict he had just gotten and said expressionlessly.

"Woo woo woo ......" The little emperor Pu Ru was only a little more than 2 years old at this time, although he was older than Pu Yi in the original time and space, but he didn't understand the meaning of this edict very well, but he saw a room full of acquaintances crying, and he cried along.

"In this way, the ministers have retired......" Yuan Shikai looked at the powerful members of the clan who were mourning in this room, sneered a few times in his heart, and left with a group of henchmen.

As soon as Yuan Shikai and the others left, the crying on the Jinluan Hall became even louder.

An old county king knelt on the ground and cried: "Ancestor, I am ...... That's how I died...... Ancestors, ancestors...... I'm dead."

On the same day, Yuan Shikai, the prime minister of the Qing court, sent a telegram to the whole country on behalf of the Qing court and issued an edict of abdication.

The Manchu Dynasty, which had ruled China since 1644 AD, officially came to an end on April 1, 19o9, after 26 years.

On the same day, Neijiang, the headquarters of the Science and Technology Socialist Party.

“...... Yuan Shikai was elected as the prime minister by the Senior Affairs Yuan, and when the old and the new were metabolized, it was appropriate to have a way to unify the north and the south, that is, Yuan Shikai would organize a provisional republican government with full powers, negotiate with the people's army on a unified method, and the people would be safe and secure in the general period, and the sea would still be completely united with the Manchu, Han, Mongolian, Hui, and Tibetan ethnic groups, and be a great Republic of China. ”

After Gu Xiaolu finished reading the telegram, he said with a smile: "The Qing court still calls us the people's army......

"No, it's not the Qing court, it's Beiyang, they still think it's the central government, hehe......" Wen Desi smiled and asked, "What does the big head plan to do with the Qing court?"

Artoria, who was in charge of affairs in North China, replied: "According to our intelligence, it is probably like this. Next month, Yuan Shikai will let the deposed emperor move out of the Forbidden City, and they will allocate the original Prince Gong's Mansion for them to live in. In the future, the royal family will be given 100,000 yuan a year for living expenses, and there will be nothing else. Those royal princes only kept their titles, and all the royal palaces were gone, and the Summer Palace and various imperial estates were confiscated by Beiyang......"

Wen Desi listened with a smile and nodded: "Hehe, it seems that the big head still considers our opinions and doesn't go too far." However, this approach still did not satisfy us......"

Originally, according to the idea of the big head, he was also going to give more benefits to the Qing court, of course, not as much as the original time and space. But the CSD, for its part, strongly opposed it and demanded that all those people be reduced to ordinary civilians and put on trial. Yuan Shikai had to consider the opinions of the Science and Technology Socialist Party, and finally had to make some concessions.

In fact, Datou's approach was also two-pleased, and the elites of the Qing court would not be grateful to him, and the CSD and other revolutionary parties also felt that it was too cheap for the Qing court and was very dissatisfied. However, the Qing court is now in the hands of the big boss, and even if the CSD and other organizations are unhappy, they can only endure it temporarily.

"It's okay, just let them live a few more good days, and then settle the account when we call over......," Wen Deji sneered.

The upper echelons of the Eight Banners of Manchuria must be thoroughly cleaned, this is a matter of principle, and there is no room for Yuan Datou and thin mud. Although Yuan Shikai cut the Zongshe Party to pieces, there are still many people who are not Zongshe Party, and there is nothing to do, of course, there will definitely be losses in terms of money. When the Beiyang Army wants to donate, it doesn't matter whether it is the Zongshe Party or not, except for a few Qingwang, everyone in the Qing Dynasty has a share.

However, for Yuan Shikai, these people are not protected by him, as long as a waste emperor is left as a façade, and other people's Eight Banner princes are dead or alive. But he will not actively do anything against them, that is, let them fend for themselves. Since the last time the Qing court was ready to win over Wen Desi's intelligence was handed over to the big head by the Science and Technology Socialist Party, the big head hated these people even more, and he didn't turn his face and cut them all, which was already very face-saving.

Wen Desi thought for a while and said: "Okay, inform Liu Yang that the gold absorption operation is almost over, and their North China Bureau can prepare to close the Internet café......"

Tianjin, head office of Delong Bank.

"Hahaha, after so long, it's finally time for the harvest. Liu Yang looked at the instructions from the headquarters with a smile and said to the secretary: "Immediately notify the heads of each branch and branch to close the net."

"Yes, Secretary Liu, I'll go down and inform you right away," the secretary replied excitedly.

As mentioned earlier, Delong Bank is a bank established by Mr. Wen that specializes in pit eight banner elites, supplemented by other businesses, and is the main action agency of the "gold absorption plan".

At that time, the magnates of the Eight Banners also had to do business, and they did a lot of business, and the leather goods and medicinal materials outside the Guan, and various local products such as silk and salt in the Guan, were all within their business scope. Because the plate is large, their liquidity is often insufficient, so they can only find money to borrow and wait for the goods to be sold

However, the money banks charge very high interest on this kind of short-term loans, and those who can open money banks in the capital do not have a big backstage? They do not buy the same account of these magnates, and their attitude is: They are too expensive? They love to borrow and do not borrow Later, when foreign banks enter China, although the magnates have one more person to borrow from, the foreign banks will not sell their accounts.

And it's not easy for these banks to lend to them, because this is often the time when cash is at its tightest. There are many people doing business in the world, everyone has to use money, and it is very difficult for banks to deal with withdrawals, how can there be spare money to lend them, and the landlord's family has no surplus grain. Therefore, these powerful people often encounter the dilemma of having nowhere to borrow, and they don't know how much profit they have missed.

But the magnates need not worry, and the problem was solved in June 19uu. Delong Bank is listed in Tianjin, and it is said that this bank was opened by a British earl, although it is not famous, but the background is very hard. After opening, Liu Yangtong, the bank's manager, went to the former Beijing office of Desmond and met some powerful children (these were customers who sold artificial gemstones).

Liu Yang first used extremely low-interest loans to attract the loan business of the Eight Banners elite, with a daily interest rate of one thousandth, while the daily interest rate of short-term loans from other financial institutions was often as high as O, and it was not easy to borrow. The difference between "one thousandth" and "five percent" is 6 times, in the spirit of "having a cheap and not taking advantage of the bastard", the Eight Banners magnates suddenly flocked to it, and the loan business of Delong Bank suddenly soared.

Other financial institutions did not have much cash to borrow at this time, so there were not many business conflicts with Delong Bank. This practice of Delong Bank is understood by other peers as a normal means for new merchants to attract customers. As for those underworld forces who opened underground banks, although they were very angry at their behavior of stealing business, they did not dare to do anything.

Well, of course, there were a few unconvinced at first, and they also came to the door to threaten Liu Yang, who greeted them with a warm smile at that time, saying that he would definitely consider their opinions carefully and give them a satisfactory answer soon.

In the following days, the most arrogant ones encountered misfortunes one after another, some encountered fires, some encountered bandit gangs coming to the door, and even encountered unknown beasts attacking. As for why there are such bullish bandits and beasts in the city of Beijing, that is another question. Anyway, these people are basically killed by their families, and the whole family has a job.

There were a few less arrogant ones, but they didn't encounter this kind of natural disaster**, but they were all visited by unknown armed men, and then politely sent out of the city. According to the people who greeted their families, it was a big man who invited them to emigrate to "Haiti". They will be transported by a new type of transport that can dive and will be guaranteed to go directly to "Haiti", and the families will go with them if they wish.

After doing this a few times, no one dared to jump out. However, with Comrade Liu Yang's discipline, even if those underground money banks do not come to look for trouble, he will come to the door. In the following more than half a year, all the underground money banks in the Beijing-Tianjin-Zhili area, no matter how hard they were backstage, have encountered misfortunes, fires, bandits, beast disasters, and even insect plagues...... You read that right, there are indeed people who have encountered insect plagues, and there is a loan shark in Tianjin, who was stung to death by a large swarm of wasps. There are also a considerable number of people who have been invited to "Haiti immigration" or "Haiti tourism".

Some of these foreign banks, including large banks such as HSBC and Citigroup, have also been subdued by various means to be in charge or in important positions in the Beijing and Tianjin areas, and they do not dare to provide services to these guys. Most of these people are part-time workers, so why should they work for their bosses? What's more, this is not in vain, and Delong Bank is still very generous to its partners. Money on one side, knives on the other, and fools know what to choose. As for the very few banks of which they are the bosses, they are not large, and under Liu Yang's various undisciplined methods, they soon encountered all kinds of turmoil, either closing their doors and getting out of China, or being bought by Delong Bank and taking money and leaving.

By the beginning of 19o7, all of Delong's competitors in the Beijing-Tianjin-Zhili region had disappeared, and even most of the competitors in Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan had disappeared, so their business expanded like a balloon.

After there were no competitors, the "righteous" Delong Bank was quickly recognized by the elites of the Eight Banners, and they all came to take loans, loans, and turnover, but this kind of good life with low interest rates did not last long, and the elites developed a habit. Delong Bank changed its face, and the daily interest rate was immediately raised to O, and it rose 3 times all of a sudden. Love to borrow, not borrow

But at this time, there are no competitors, and the elites can't find it even if they want to change banks, and although this interest rate has risen a lot, it is also lower than the original O market, which is acceptable. After mastering the large debts of those magnates, Liu Yang used many glorious or dishonorable means to make most of the Eight Banners magnates take out loans, deposits, and keep valuables in Delong Bank.

It can be said that the current Delong Bank is the exclusive bank of the Eight Banners magnates, after the Beiyang Mutiny, more people deposited or deposited valuables in Delong, and 95% of the Qing court magnates became the "customers" of this bank. By the end of 196, the deposits of the Eight Banners magnates in Delong Bank had exceeded 600 million.

At the beginning of this year, it was another peak, seeing that the Qing court was almost unable to hold on, and Beiyang was looking for them to "raise donations", these banner people simply handed over most of their net worth to Delong Bank.

The background of Delong Bank is too hard, and Beiyang does not dare to move. After such news broke, Delong's business was even better. Up to now, the deposits of the Eight Banners and the deposited gold, silver, gems and other valuables have reached nearly 300 million silver dollars, not counting the debts and mortgaged real estate, as well as antique calligraphy and paintings that are not easy to value.

Beijing, Delong Bank Beijing Branch.

"President, business is so good these days? Is it too early to close the net? Do you want to wait a few more ......days?" asked Sun Dianying, the business director of Dongzhimen, puzzled. Well, the director of Dongzhimen business is just one of his identities, and his other identity is the leader of the seventh group of the action section of the Beijing station.

Everyone knows that this Qing court has no secrets at all, and the abdication edict has not yet been issued, and the news has spread all over Sijiu City. The flag people are all panicking, and the number of flag people who come to deposit and custody valuables is several times higher than before, and everyone is too busy these days.

As a result, at the meeting this morning, the superiors gave an order to prepare to close the net. Not only did Sun Dianying not understand, but other colleagues also did not understand.

"Hehe......" Fan Han smiled and explained to the puzzled people: "It's just a lively thing to watch these days, in fact, those powerful people know that the news is earlier, and their money has already been sent in." In the past few days, the people who have deposited money are all middle- and lower-class flag people, and they don't have much oil and water on them. You can also calculate, how much money has been recorded in the account after watching so much excitement these days?"

He continued: "In our business, we must learn to accept what we see, otherwise it will backfire. If we wait for those powerful people to react and prepare to emigrate and run away, and come to our bank to withdraw cash, will we not give it at that time?"

"Oh, that's ...... so," everyone suddenly realized.

"Okay, everybody go and prepare, and announce it the morning after tomorrow. We have received a notice from the head office that at the request of the autonomous government of southern China, all the deposits and custody items of the flag people will be frozen from now on, and they will be unfrozen after the relevant cases are heard after the founding of the People's Republic of China......" Fan Han smiled harmlessly.

"Little Sun ......" After everyone left, Fan Han left Sun Dianying and asked with a smile: "I heard that you recently audited in the hall of Beijing Normal University......

"Yes, webmaster. Sun Dianying hurriedly replied: "Since the last time the organization gave me the identity of a student of Beijing Normal University, I have been going there often, I used to study little, but now that I have this opportunity, I don't want to miss it." ”

"It's good that you think that. Although that identity is only for you to cover, other comrades are not as hard as you, they really just use it as a cover identity. Those kids didn't even go to class, what a waste" Fan Han shook his head, looking like he hated iron and steel.

After a few sighs, Fan Han then asked, "Little Sun, are you very interested in archaeology?"

"Yes, webmaster. For some reason, after reading those textbooks in the school, I thought it was an interesting subject. Sun Dianying replied seriously

"Well, then now you have a choice" Fan Han paused, took out a copy of Wen Jiàn from his desk, handed it to him and said, "Look at this, it's from the headquarters." ”

"This is ......" Sun Dianying opened it and immediately exclaimed: "The recommended quota of the 6th Military Academy in the Southwest ......"

Fan Han smiled kindly: "That's right, the superiors recognized the work of our Beijing station, so they gave us a place for military academy training." I think you are the most suitable for the age-appropriate staff of Bi Qu Ge, and if you want, I will put your name on it. Think about it......"

"Webmaster...... Can I really do it?" Sun Dianying said excitedly.

"Of course, I've always looked at your worksheet, and you're very qualified. ”

"I'm willing to go to the military academy, I'm willing to go to the military academy, stationmaster ......" Sun Dianying was a little incoherent with joy.

"Then what about your archaeology? Your grades in the Department of Archaeology are also very good, I heard from the professor at the Beijing Normal University Hall that you are also very talented in this area......" Fan Han smiled.

Sun Dianying replied firmly: "Stationmaster, I would prefer to be a soldier, and that archaeology is my amateur hobby." ”

"Okay, then as you wish, fill out this form......" Fan Han took out the military school recommendation form.
