Chapter 4! After making up for what I owe yesterday, hippos can finally sleep peacefully!
This is Yang Qiu's second time in Nanjing. The first time, the streets and alleys here are all the joys of the early construction of the Republic of China. Although this time coincides with the Chinese New Year, the air is full of tension and uneasiness. When three warships, including the Hairong ship, slowly docked onto the dock, the guard company that arrived from Shanghai first separated a human wall with their bodies. (Baidu search for "??" to watch the latest update of this book) This is not a Tianjin guard who cannot carry guns, so everyone is armed with guns and ammunition.
The person who came to the dock to greet him was not someone else, but Li Yuanhong, who had had conflicts with him before to compete for control of Hubei. However, now Li Yuanhong has become completely different. He has gained weight and his eyes narrowed into a line when he smiled.
Since Yang Qiu waved to him, he decisively abandoned Zhang Jizhi's Republican Party and elected the Kuomintang Party, which made the position of vice president not only unshakable but became stronger. In his spare time, he also started an industry. He first asked Wang Anlan to buy an Italian second-hand ocean ship to Luzon and Wuchang, and brought rubber to the National Defense Forces and made a fortune by himself. Last year, he heard that Yang Qiu was going to promote the planting of tobacco leaves in Guizhou and Yunnan, and spent a lot of money to purchase excellent seeds from South America. He also contacted Spanish merchants to buy a cigarette production line to prepare for Guiyang Tobacco Company.
Wang Anlan's expression was not as hostile as before. Rao Hanxiang continued to dress as a scholar. Surprisingly, Jiang Zuobin, who was once the second-rank officer of the Nanjing Army Department, actually came, and even Yang Qiu was a little shocked.
After pulling him into his newly bought sedan, Li Yuanhong's expression slowly became serious. He turned his head and looked at the guards riding a horse to protect the surroundings, and asked, "What are Chen Hua's plans next?"
"What do the teacher thinks we should do next?"
He was quite surprised that Yang Qiu called his teacher Li Yuanhong. At that time, Yang Qiu was indeed promoted by him to Zhang Biao. It was not an exaggeration to call him a teacher according to the domestic official rules. But now he has a special status. Although he is the vice president, he is still an inspector of the eight provinces. Because of his handshake with Yuan Shikai in Tianjin, even foreigners think that he is a person who can take over the state power, so the meaning of this teacher is very strong! He waved his hand quickly: "Isn't Chen Hua going to make a fool of me? The teacher dare not be a teacher."
"I was not recommended by the teacher back then, and there would not be Yang Qiu today." Yang Qiu smiled when he saw him giving him a pistol, "I said when I delivered the gun from the big big hob, I have always been my Shangguan for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, you are no longer in the army, so you can only change it to be a teacher. // "??".com "??//"
Li Yuanhong's eyes were almost gone. After experiencing the ups and downs of the 1911 year, the foundation of Hubei was swallowed by this "student" in one bite. He was a bachelor and no longer had much ambitions. As long as he could keep the position of vice president, he simply took on this title with peace of mind and said, "Since Chen Hua called me a teacher, I would also have to nag a few words."
"The old saying goes, "The best is easy to break, and the best is like water. I know that you are tough in everything, because you want to arouse people's enthusiasm, but everything is too much or too much! Take Japan's love for example. Although Yuan Shikai has signed it, Japan has not fulfilled the treaty yet, so you can easily turn it off. On the contrary, you must be regarded as a thorn in their side. Even if you go north in the future, can you beat Japan? It's not that I'm so disheartened that the army may not be too scared, but the navy..." Li Yuanhong sighed at this point: "The advantage is too great! And the British are angry this time, which does not mean that they have been angry all the time. Unless Russia will fall, the UK will rely on Japan to block Russia. The two families will reach an agreement sooner or later. If the loan and military equipment are really given, even if Beijing is taken down, you will dare to pay the debt? The foreigners and Japan have been in a suffrage since the Gengzi year."
It is rare that he has said so much that it can be considered a true insight in this era, but even Europe now doesn’t know the world war that will begin next year, let alone the far Far East. From this we can see that he has really changed a lot now. At least after the interests of both sides are combined, the "core" of the Kuomintang Party that the outside world believes has no clear boundaries, so he simply began to think about the future.
Yang Qiu didn't explain much. After all, he told these people in China that there would be a fight in two years and a world war involving more than one billion people would probably be rolled. So there was no need to spend that energy, just asked: "I just saw Jiang Zuobin here, he..."
"I should also thank Chen Hua for this matter, and recruited another tiger general for us." Seeing Yang Qiu's confusion, Li Yuanhong laughed proudly: "I have been lobbying him to join the National Society earlier, but he was unwilling to do so. After the Chen Qimei incident, he felt that the internal chaos of the Democratic Party was in trouble. In order to expand the revolutionary forces, he absorbed too many gang forces like the Qing Gang and Pao Ge, which caused the team to be of uneven quality. After the revolution, the power distribution was uneven. The party members who had risen from all over the country privately divided public property, so they went to Huang Keqiang to ask him to order the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to take action and learn from our southwest to carry out rectification and reform. When they saw no one paying attention, they came to me."
Li Yuanhong was afraid that Yang Qiu would be worried, so he added a sentence: "Yuyan (Jiang Zuobin's name is a rare talent in the Democratic Party. Before, when Keqiang became the Minister of the Army, he relied on him and Li Shucheng to support him. Since Chen Hua was willing to rectify the whole country, he should not care too much about the differences between the parties and let this person go. Moreover, I think it is appropriate to leave some unstoppable Democratic Party talents, and outsiders will praise you for your elegance."
How could Yang Qiu let go of the talent who came to the door? Besides, Jiang Zuobin had already been on the list he wanted to win over, but now he had no time to consider the issue of arranging positions and asked: "How is Dangtu Steel Factory?"
After the plan to build Dangtu Steel Plant began, Yang Qiu sent a letter to Li Yuanhong to take care of it. He was the mediation he could get to Tieshan at a low price. He explained the importance of industry and steel to Huang Keqiang and others. After hearing the inquiry, he immediately said: "Tianshu has returned from the United States, and the first batch of mining equipment has been arrived. In May, the steelmaking plant equipment and refractory bricks will be shipped one after another. He promised to complete the first furnace of steel before the end of next year."
With the war approaching, Dangtu and Jiangnan were the two major industries that Yang Qiu was most worried about, and Jiangnan was still easy. When Sa Zhenbing was in Tianjin, he had already told him that the Navy would never let the Jiangnan factory be involved in the war, so Dangtu became his biggest heart disease. Once Yuan Shikai's army attacked, whether Dangtu, which is not far from Nanjing, would be destroyed is his most concerned thing. Think about it and asked: "There is one thing I want the teacher to tell me the truth. If Beiyang attacks, how long can Nanjing be defended?"
This question made Li Yuanhong very embarrassed and sighed: "To be honest with Chen Hua, Huang Keqiang is also worried about this matter. Although there are three divisions in Nanjing, only Xu Shaozhen can fight, and nothing else can be used. If you want to defend it, it may be difficult. So yesterday he came to me to negotiate and said that Beijing had cut off the operating fees that should have been paid, so he wanted to borrow money from our Southwest Bank first, and then let Li Liejun draw a division of the Gan Army to assist in the defense."
"Hmph... It's a good plan. We'll pay Li Liejun to fight, and he can think of it." Yang Qiu sneered a few times. Huang Keqiang still didn't believe in himself. He wanted to pay the money himself, but the troops were to be transferred from the Gan army. He said angrily: "He is not reliable! Teacher, you must prepare as soon as possible. This time, the soldiers don't want to fight at this time. In addition, it also takes time to draw troops, so I predict that Yuan Shikai may take the lead before the end of the month. Whether Nanjing can be saved is of great importance! It really doesn't work... I will draw troops from the southwest to take charge of you, and you can't lose it here no matter what."
Li Yuanhong knew the importance of Nanjing, but he was now just a bare vice president, and the military power was all in the hands of Xu Shaozhen. He said worriedly: "I'm afraid that this matter doesn't matter. Chen Hua still has to make the worst plan."
"I know, so I'm going to let Mr. Binglin go and talk to Zhang Jizhi and Xu Shaozhen alone, unless they are willing to watch Beiyang seize the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui, otherwise..." Yang Qiu's eyes cold: "I can't help them!"
"Chenhua's method is good. Zhang Jizhi and Xu Shaozhen have always had contact with each other. The two have a good relationship with each other. But what are you going to do in Anhui?" Li Yuanhong said worriedly: "Bai Wenmo has not yet obtained military power. The Anhui governor is just a joke. The soldiers are in Hu Wantai's hands, and the money is squeezed by Sun Duosen. Ni Si will definitely turn against the army. If Anhui is gone, Nanjing will definitely not be able to defend it."
Anhui... Yang Qiu was also a little troubled when thinking about this place. The General Staff led by Song Ziqing has repeatedly asked to take action against Bai Wenmo to completely control the Anhui division as soon as possible. But considering that he has not yet broken up with the Democratic Party, the three most famous Democratic Party governors may trigger the Democratic Party and Beiyang to join forces, so he has been suppressed. Now there is no hope for these two companies to join forces, so it is time to find a way to get rid of the two stumbling blocks of Jiangxi and Anhui first.
The convoy quickly arrived at the Nanjing left-behind office. In addition to Huang Keqiang and Zhang Jizhi who received the news, Jiangsu Governor Xu Shaozhen and the members of the provisional parliament were waiting at the door early. Yuan Shikai was exposed to assassination, and even his son Yuan Keding was involved. Now no one knows that this person is the most likely person to take over the power of the country. So when he saw him get off the car, the reporters who were already impatient to press the shutter immediately.
Because "Shenbao" was the first to reveal the secret agreement between China and Japan, the young reporter stationed in Nanjing also wanted to learn from his seniors to make a big news. When he saw him, he immediately rushed to the front and asked: "Empress Yang, is your visit to Nanjing this time to negotiate a settlement of the matter in the north?"
"I'm not here to negotiate!"
Yang Qiu stood up straight, his eyes swept over to greet everyone, with a serious expression: "Mr. Dunchu spent all his efforts to draft the "Provisional Constitution" and wanted to use this method to consolidate the country's foundation. However, some people with ulterior motives were afraid of the "Provisional Constitution" and felt that the "Provisional Constitution" had destroyed their path, so they sent someone to assassinate him! The unfair way of heaven led to his death young! But this could not scare Yang. This time he came to Nanjing to maintain the authority of the "Provisional Constitution"! I here formally request that the interim parliament be convened in Nanjing to impeach the interim president... Yuan Shikai!"
