Chapter 580 Dai Yunong Goes Out

When Yang Du returned to the Presidential Palace in Nanjing, Li Yuanhong had already come back early. He sat in the study and pinched the newspaper and read the news about Lenin's death. When he saw him, he said with a whisper: "Xizi is here, have you read the newspaper?"

During this period, news about Lenin's death was overwhelming. Unlike the plain narratives of domestic newspapers, Europe and the United States were so fierce. The British applauded, and some merchants paid for the front page to celebrate. However, Germany and France set up mourning halls to mourn, and many people in the United States spontaneously organized mourning activities. Yang Dusuan saw that Lenin was a great man no matter what, at least workers all over the world should thank him. If it were not for the establishment of the Soviet proletariat, the trade union organization would continue to be strongly suppressed by capitalists, and the exploitation of workers would be even more serious. However, because of the emergence of the dictatorship of the proletariat, the world's workers' movements and revolutionary waves were coming one after another, and European and American countries were much more cautious about the workers' issues.

After the two talked about the aftermath of Lenin's death, Yang Du said all about his purpose. "It's not difficult to move the capital... it's not difficult. Changing the presidential system is not a trivial matter." Li Yuanhong narrowed his eyes and hesitated. Although he could become the first official president of the Republic of China, he would have to thank Yang Qiu for being re-elected for three terms in one go, but President Taiping is used to being a good reputation and always wants to survive until he stepped down. If the dispute between the government and the court was provoked at the last moment, wouldn't the reputation be lost again?

Yang Du raised the corners of his mouth slightly, understood his thoughts, and said, "Du thinks that this matter will not only not affect your reputation as President, but will be applauded by more people."

Li Yuanhong glared at him, and there were people who applauded the reform of the system and the system revoked the rights of the Congress? Isn’t this Han Qing himself: “Since, don’t joke about me. I know the best of my ability. If you say that help Chen Hua get back the power, it should be. It’s just that the national sports... There is a big storm."

Seeing that he was hesitant, Yang Du continued: "You are wrong, President, you are wrong. The presidential system and the parliamentary system are both republics, and they do not change the national system. It is nothing more than a matter of who has great power. France is still presidential system, and Congress can also supervise the presidential office to prevent abuse of rights. Besides, if you take over your work, you will definitely be thrust by someone if you change it, but the vice president is far-sighted and has extraordinary skills. After getting the power, he will definitely bring our country into Europe and the United States. In the future, people will praise you for paving the way."

Li Yuanhong thought about it and he would definitely be uneasy if he took over others, but Yang Qiu's ability is obvious to all. It would be detrimental to the country if he lets Congress hold his hands and feet. Moreover, he is already satisfied with being re-elected for three terms. He will take the opportunity to help, and he will not leave the world in the future. Besides, even if he doesn't do it, Yang Qiu will definitely take other paths. Why should he be a villain in vain when he is in this respect?

After Yang Du said that, he also expressed his plan and learned that Hu Hanmin of the Democratic Party had collusion with the poor party. Li Yuanhong was very angry, but he also thought it was a good opportunity. After all, the National Society was Yang Qiu in charge, and as long as he agreed that the party's resistance would not be very loud. The Republican Party is now head of Tang Juedu, and Liang Qichao's group of people are not useful when they are old. Only the Democratic Party still has some forces. Especially in Nanyang, it is very well developed. However, Nanyang is too complicated and it affects the whole body. If they are indiscriminately hurting the Chinese. Now the issue of Sumatra oilfield has just been decided, so they must restrain themselves and not destroy the major plan.

After the two agreed, Yang Du sent the message Li Yuanhong agreed to Yang Qiu overnight. Yang Qiu was relieved and immediately summoned Song Ziqing and other confidants overnight to hear their thoughts in the name of a meeting.

No one has any objection to moving the capital. Nanjing lacks depth, both military and geography, and after moving, the city can be returned to the Jiangsu Provincial Government for jurisdiction, so as to better use the Yangtze River to build a purely political capital. Yang Qiu's idea of ​​protecting the ancient city and building a purely political capital similar to Washington, DC was also recognized by everyone, but his idea of ​​merging Tianjin was opposed by Xu Xiujun, Zhang Wenjing and others.

Opponents are all engaged in economic development. Cai Gongshi felt that there must be a basic foundation for construction. When Liang Shiyi and others built private steel plants in Shandong and Qingdao Yantai was an important area for American business industry investment, the construction of large-scale industries in Hebei is suspected of repeated waste. It is better to continue to maintain the status of Tianjin municipality directly under the central government. In this way, the industry that destroys ancient buildings can be placed in Tianjin, so that the Beijing-Tianjin area will not have any industrial capacity.

Yang Qiu finally adopted their opinions.

Everyone agrees with the reform of the presidential system. Judging from the first ten years of the Republic of China, the politics of strong people was deeply rooted. Yang Qiu was able to use the vice president to rely on the party to control the Congress, except for the military authority, no one could match. The people also wanted to see strong people like him standing up and leading everyone, so the presidential system can guarantee his rights to the greatest extent and not fall into internal friction. Zhang Wenjing, who quarreled last time, was originally opposed, not because he was afraid that Yang Qiu would abuse his power, rather than wanting the country to fall into chaos, and was afraid that he would use the trick of controlling public opinion again. However, after hearing that Li Yuanhong was responsible for this matter, he breathed a little relieved and did not object.

After unifying his opinions, Yang Qiu returned to Nanjing and started working normally. Miao Luo was now more busy than him in the work of women in Guangxi, so his family was all busy with Rui Yao. After returning to Nanjing, he immediately looked for Lu Bicheng and held a very low-key wedding, which only invited Lu Bicheng's family and some good friends.

When he learned that Yang Qiu had plans to move the capital, Lu Bicheng, who had already transformed from a talented woman to a smart strong woman, immediately asked someone to buy a big villa outside Beijing, and then sent a telegram to seek Miao Luo's opinions. Seeing that she had to inform the "master" first of everything, even Yang Qiu, who was busy, couldn't stop laughing, which made Lu Bicheng stomp her feet. Who made her become a "missie" all of a sudden?

The capital relocation and restructuring will not start until Li Yuanhong's third term, but some things must be prepared first. The military attaches the most importance to it. In the past, all security work was centered on Nanjing, and now it will gradually tilt towards Beijing. So Yang Qiu first called the commander of the 101st Guard Division stationed in Tianjin and Beijing, and at the same time allocated funds to expand Beijing Nanyuan Airport, transferred the 3rd and 5th Armored Brigades and the 102nd Guard Division stationed in Shanghai to the north, and entered the Beijing-Tianjin Guard District base in Langfang.

Although it has a larger depth than Nanjing because of the Bohai Sea barrier, the defense of the Bohai Strait must be strengthened. When Weihai, Qingdao and Lushun have sea and air bases, the Navy decided to completely convert the Beichenghuang Island and Nanchenghuang Island of the Miaojie Island into a strait fortress, and will buy it back from Italy. The four 305mm triple guns on the former joint force-class battleship Teghov (not owned by the Navy of the Republic of China) were all placed on the strait fortress to strengthen control over the Bohai Strait. They were also prepared to place two torpedo boats and submarine brigades on the island to cooperate with the Beiyang Fleet to block the strait if necessary.

Of course, the navy was not so conservative. After learning about the capital relocation, Cheng Biguang first expressed support and proposed the Jiaohai defense line plan. That is, it is necessary to ensure that it has the ability to block the defense line from Jiaozhou Peninsula to Haizhou, North Korea. Of course, he finally developed the navy's ability to ask for money. He tactfully proposed that 4 battleships and 4 heavy cruisers were needed to ensure the safety of the capital...

Before all the Taiwan Island-class heavy cruisers were delivered, they reached out to ask for funds. Yang Qiu really couldn't stand the navy's shamelessness. But seeing that he said on the left to defend the capital and on the right to fulfill his loyalty to the country. In addition, the formal relocation of the capital also required the support of the navy, so he simply asked the Ministry of Defense to seek the design of four new heavy cruisers from various shipyards through tender, but the construction would take around 1927.

The Army must have obtained a lot of funds for strengthening the defense of Tianjin and Beijing. The Navy bid for four new cruisers and was proud, and of course the Air Force also wanted to get a share. So Xue Muhua personally asked Yang Qiu to build a new plane, but he didn't expect to be kicked out of the Ministry of National Defense. It was not that Yang Qiu didn't know that aviation was important, but that Wang Zhu and Ba Tamamo both told the engine that the breakthrough was not far away, so it was not cost-effective to build a pile of canvas wood.

The army needs to be adjusted, and the Beijing-Tianjin area also needs officials who can hold back to ensure that there will be no chaos during the transition period. He remembered Wang Geng, who was studying at the National Defense University for a short period of time after returning from a vacation in Egypt, and after discussing with Xiao Anguo, he appointed him as the commander of the Beijing-Tianjin Garrison District. At the same time, he was transferred to Shandong Provincial State Councilor, the mayor of Qingdao, and Shi Zhixuan, who had studied finance and management at Harvard University, as mayor of Beijing.

Yang Qiu and Guoshe are not the local forces that were drooling when they looked at the string of capable officials and generals in Yuan Shikai's bag 10 years ago. Guoshe has become the well-deserved largest talent pool in the country. 70% of the officials and officers in the country are all members of Guoshe, and the vast majority of Chinese engineers have joined Guoshe or are willing to obey Yang Qiu's orders. Shi Zhixuan is one of the best. Not only does he manage Qingdao in an orderly manner, he is also the first scholar-oriented mayor in the country to go abroad to investigate and recruit investment.

Military mobilization in peacetime will always attract attention. The Central Guard Division is also known as the army and is one of the nine core forces of the National Defense Forces. The 102nd Division went north and naturally had people to discuss and secretly guess the significance behind the mobilization. As the Navy requested to increase the budget report on the defense of the Bohai Strait to be submitted to the Congress, the sound of moving the capital began to be noisy. Since it was not yet announced, both the Presidential Palace and the Prime Minister's Office were silent on this matter, but some signs of the old Beijing city still made people understand that moving the capital is probably imperative.

Neither the capital was moved or the second five-year plan in the sprint, it did not affect the work of some people.

The Sihai Ship, which was coming from Fuzhou, slowly sailed into Pontianak Port. The dock was either looking up or looking up, or holding up cards with names written on it, looking anxiously at the passengers who were disembarking, while the boatmen beside him shouted slogans, preparing to wait for the ship to stop and get the time to get the goods.

Pontianak is the most important Chinese gathering area in Borneo, with about 70,000 Chinese living here. As long as they can speak Chaozhou or Hakka, it is almost the same as returning to China. With the country's grand construction, Pontianak Chinese found that there were a lot of ships coming here, and batches of new "gold diggers" began to pour in here. Unlike the older generation, they are well-capitalized and have big investments, and plantations that often cost thousands of acres are just small transactions, and many people are running ore transactions.

Backed by Borneo, the Port of Pontianak has become the largest seaport with the Dutch East India to China. The goods are mainly nickel, sulfur, rubber and wood, as well as a small amount of rice and pepper.

On the deck of the Sihai Ship, a group of ordinary-dressed young men leaned against the railings of the ship, holding cigarettes, pointed at the bustling crowd. There were two people standing next to the young men, one of whom was in his thirties, with a straight waist and eyebrows like a sword, and there was a faint solemnity between the opening and closing. The one next to him was completely opposite, not only younger but also excited, just like a rich young man who had just stepped out of the cage and came out to see the world.

"Brother Dai, is it the first time I'm here in Pontianak?" Zhang Haidong approached Dai Yunong excitedly and gently hit him with his shoulder and handed him a cigarette. After the Ryukyu operation, he also took advantage of the European war opportunity to exercise. He is now the colonel commander of the 16th Brigade.

"It's really different from what I thought." Dai Yunong, who was on the field for the first time, nodded. He was indeed the first time to come to Nanyang. Although he had already learned about all aspects of Nanyang through various intelligences, he only realized that it was completely different from what he imagined after seeing it with his own eyes. Especially here, there is basically no sign of Lan Fang's tragedy. If he is an unfamiliar person, he would definitely not know that a massacre against Chinese people happened here decades ago.

"It's not just different. You'll know if you stay for a few more days." Zhang Haidong saw his familiar old friend on the pier, and asked everyone to get their luggage, and then patted him with a smile: "The people are almost gone, let's leave too."

After getting off the boat, Dai Yunong met Zhuang Meisheng who came to greet him.

Like his name, Zhuang Meisheng is a child of an American overseas Chinese. He looks forty years old, with a short sweatshirt and a straw hat. He doesn't know where he got a pair of sunglasses that were popular in the United States and shakes a palm fan to make him look like a profiteer. In fact, he is Miao Luo's senior brother and a former disciple of Zhigongtang in the Americas. Since his junior sister married Yang Qiu, Zhigongtang has completely become the largest overseas force of the National Society. Tens of thousands of Zhigongtang disciples have whitewashed their family's background and bid farewell to the gangster-style management model, and learned from the Yangtze River Gang that year that he quietly reorganized and established Haihua Trading Company. The largest shareholder is Yang Qiu and Miao Yuan, who manages the Miao family's enterprise.

Yang Qiu bought a stake because he wanted Haihua Company to take care of his second uncle in South America and Chen Yutang, who was sent to get instant coffee and nerve drugs, but he did not expect that the intelligence department also looked at the Shanghai Hua Company platform, so he quickly borrowed their tentacles to spread all over the world.

"Brother Zhang, but I haven't seen you here for a long time." Zhuang Meisheng was obviously very familiar with Zhang Haidong, which surprised Dai Yunong secretly. He thought to himself that Yang Qiu had sent troops to Borneo secretly? But he dared not ask this question. Chen Haohui had reminded that the most important thing as an intelligence officer was to meddle in other people's business, so he focused his attention on this mission.

Zhuang Meisheng is one of the largest Chinese businessmen in Pontianak. Five years ago, he came here to acquire the famous Dagang Company in Borneo. He not only had plantations but also two gold mines. He was so sophisticated that Dai Yunong should be a newcomer and smiled and said, "This is the brother Yunong mentioned in the telegram, right?"

"Yunnong has met the boss of Zhuang."

"What boss? Haha... those who can come to Pontianak are all brothers."

Seeing that Zhuang Meisheng was so polite, Dai Yunong was embarrassed to change his name to Brother Zhuang. He called him Brother Zhuang a lot closer. Zhuang Meisheng quickly asked someone to drive the car and take them back to Dagang Company.

The company is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Pontianak. It is a three-story Western-style villa. When Dai Yunong arrived, he saw two bodyguards standing at the door with revolvers in his waist. When Zhuang Meisheng saw him paying attention, he introduced: "Yunong, don't think that it would be safe for Pontianak to be Chinese. The natives here are unruly, and they are lazy and often rob us Chinese, so each company is equipped with bodyguards. After the Navy came to the oil field last time, we had a fire exchange."

Dai Yunong knew about the conflict in the Sumatra oil field. However, he did not expect that there would be a conflict between the unearthed people and the Chinese. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Zhuang, according to what you said, the Dutch gave the gun to the natives? They are not afraid of causing trouble!"

Zhuang Meisheng was not surprised that Dai Yunong knew the details behind the natives. After asking the servants to pour tea for several people, his face became serious: "In the early years, the natives used machetes. But in the past two years, many Japanese guns flowed into Borneo, and the Dutch had no choice. In the past two years, the Arab guerrillas in Batavia often came to make money. It was really messy. Especially in our gold mines, if it weren't for the secret care of Brother Zhang and others, how many people would have died."

Dai Yunong knew the background of Dagang Company, but he didn't expect that it would be involved in gold mining! He immediately understood why he and Zhang Haidong met. In fact, he had already learned from some clues that Yang Qiu had a "golden force" specializing in making gold in various parts of Southeast Asia. But he always thought that this force must be very mysterious, but he didn't expect that it was the open 16th** Brigade.

Since Haihua Company is an overseas company controlled by Yang Qiu and Dagang is a branch, the gold mined must be transported back to China, so it is not surprising that the 16th Brigade often comes. "Brother Zhuang, what news does the poor party have except the Japanese?" Dai Yunong was eager to know the news of the poor party's activities in Nanyang, which was also the main reason why Chen Haohui arranged for him to go to Nanyang for field operations.

After Zhuang Meisheng threw out a few cigarettes to Zhang Haidong and the soldiers who came to escort gold back to China, he continued to say: "The poor party has come. I heard from Batavia's brothers that dozens of people came from North Korea last month. Judging from the situation, they are probably good players who have fought wars!"

"North Korea has fought a war?" Dai Yunong frowned. If the news was true, it would probably be the hundreds of defeated soldiers in Shumiyatsky's hands. Unexpectedly, they were actually planted in Nanyang.

Zhuang Meisheng said: "The Dutch are also very close to them, so these poor parties contacted the Arab guerrillas as soon as they came. They trained them not only to incite armed resistance but also to carry out revolutions. A few days ago, the two factions fought in Surabaya, and my people came back and said that at least four Dutch military and police had died."

After hearing these, Dai Yunong suddenly complained secretly, knowing why Chen Haohui asked him to find a way to stabilize the situation in Southeast Asia for several years. Japanese guns flowed in, poor party militants, Arab guerrillas, British, American, Dutch and French forces and native tribe armed forces... Nanyang has become a mess! But now the British power remains, and the United States is eyeing it. If it fights now, the development of Sumatra oilfields will be delayed. If it affects the Chinese, the Republic of China will have to be passively involved.

In the volume of the Republic of China, China, the United States, Britain, France and Japan are bound to be a complete chaos. What should I do?
