After these few days of dealing with each other, Shanqi already understood Zhang Tinglan's status through observation of his words. He was not just a warlord brat. Zhang Tinglan had already emerged in the 27th Division, and his status was rising day by day. Zhang Zuolin treated him even more.
Following his advice, Shanqi also knew that it was thanks to Zhang Tinglan that he was imprisoned this time.
As soon as he heard Zhang Tinglan's words, Shanqi's heart couldn't stop a violent contraction, and his old face suddenly turned red. Zhang Tinglan sat down opposite Shanqi with all his might, and watched with interest as he collapsed into a pile.
The Prince of the Qing Dynasty.
Shan Qi's reputation in modern history is largely due to the fact that he had a famous daughter, the famous "men's beauty" Kawashima Yoshiko. This woman is also inextricably linked to the Huanggutun incident.
After contacting her, Zhang Tinglan originally wanted to eliminate the trouble in one fell swoop and kill Kawashima Yoshiko in advance, but this girl was still in Dalian and escaped.
"Shanqi, I heard that you sent many of your children to foreign countries, some to the West and some to the East. In short, they were not in China. You also gave your fourteenth daughter Xianyu to Kawashima Naniwa as your adopted daughter.
, trying to restore the Manchu Qing Dynasty with the help of Japanese forces, do you think this huge dream can still be realized? "
"I have dedicated my life to death. I have received great kindness from my master for generations. I should risk my life to restore the unification of the country. Even if I fail unfortunately, I can still be famous in history. Being a Wen Tianxiang can also honor the ancestors."
"Shanqi, have you ever thought about it, even if you succeed in restoring the country, your master will still be a puppet of the Japanese. Don't you know the situation of the Korean king? The Japanese are just wolves. You are dealing with wolves.
Aren't you afraid of being eaten? In addition, the Manchu Qing Dynasty should also be satisfied. When the Ming Dynasty fell, Emperor Chongzhen was hanged at Meishan. How many royal relatives and nobles of the Ming Dynasty died. But when the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, everyone from the emperor to the Eight Banners
Several of my children have died, and now I still have four million yuan in support every year, what else do you want?"
"That's because Yuan Shikai, a dog slave, feels guilty. He stole the country from his master, deceived the emperor, and ignored his superiors. He deserves death. If he tries to kill his master again, no one in the world will agree!" Shan Qiyue said.
The more excited he became, the fat flesh on his face couldn't help but tremble, as if he was possessed by his ancestors.
Zhang Tinglan also saw through that people like Shanqi were obsessed with it, and there was no possibility of change. He stopped talking about these useless things: "Shanqi, to tell you the truth, Beijing has sent a telegram, hoping to bring the clan society to justice as soon as possible.
The party's cases are handed over to the central government, and the president personally appoints people to interrogate them."
"Then why don't you send me away quickly!" Shanqi has been thinking about ways to survive these days. It seems to him that only in Beijing can he have a chance of survival. If he falls into the hands of these bandits from Fengtian, there will definitely be no good end.
.
Zhang Tinglan looked at the excited Shanqi and smiled slightly: "Shanqi, I understand your thoughts. As long as you arrive in Beijing, the Japanese will come forward, the old and young people from the Manchu Qing Dynasty will come forward, and the old bureaucrats in the Beiyang government will come forward.
You, the former Prince Su of the Qing Dynasty, can save your life. But let me tell you, don’t give up on this wishful thinking. You have conspired to treason and will not be punished. Whether you can get from Fengtian to Beijing safely is all in my mind. I will give it to you now.
This is your last chance. If you hand over all your property honestly and do as I say, I will keep your head. If not, you will wait for death!"
Zhang Tinglan was no longer willing to talk to Shan Qi anymore. He waved his hand and several people came in carrying sacks. Su Liangzhen had someone put the sacks next to Shan Qi. He smiled and said: "Prince Su, how do you use this thing?"
You may not know it yet, so let me introduce it to you. You lie flat on the bed, and we press a sack on your chest. When you exhale, we add a sack. With your body, you can probably withstand three
Two sacks, and then you will suffocate to death. In fact, this way of death is similar to that of a person being entangled by a giant python. If you die, we will say to the outside world that Prince Su died of grief and anger due to the hopelessness of restoring the country. What do you think?
"
Su Liangzhen was still smiling, but to Shanqi's ears, these words were like a poisonous dagger, piercing his heart. Shanqi could still speak righteously when facing others, but facing these bearded men, he really had no choice.
"I won't send Prince Su to heaven yet!" Su Liangzhen still hesitated when he saw Shanqi, so he shouted loudly, and the assistant on the side was about to push Shanqi down on the bed.
At this time, Shanqi was finally afraid, and he hurriedly shouted: "I agree to your terms!"
Facing death, Shan Qi finally surrendered. He handed over all the real estate in his name and the secret deposits in the bank. Sheng Yun's bones were not as hard as Shan Qi's, so he quickly handed over everything. From then on,
These two people took out more than 800,000 yuan in assets, as well as more than 20 properties and 15 shops.
In addition, Zhang Tinglan asked them to involve several Manchu and Qing nobles who had not joined the Clan Socialist Party. These people were the Manchu elders and children who owned real estate near the North Market. With Shanqi's confession, Zhang Tinglan launched a campaign against them.
Search. Although using such despicable means to frame others is against Zhang Tinglan's true intentions, these guys' property did not come from the right way. They were all donated by the people, and they deserved to be confiscated.
After some hunting, Zhang Tinglan obtained a large piece of land and another 1.3 million in cash. Of course, according to the agreement, all this money must be handed over to Lao Zhang. Only the real estate belongs to Zhang Tinglan. However, this does not trouble Zhang Tinglan.
, he gave Lao Zhang an idea, which was to deposit the money in Daosheng Bank first.
From this search operation, Zhang Zuolin got a total of more than 2.6 million oceans in cash, as well as a large amount of opium. It can be said that he suddenly became rich, but Zhang Zuolin can't spend all this money at once, right?
Earning interest in the bank has become a matter of course.
But what is the relationship between Fred and Zhang Tinglan? Everyone knows that as soon as Lao Zhang’s money was deposited in the bank, Zhang Tinglan loaned it out to purchase land and prepare to build the North Market. This is a normal manipulation, but Zhang Zuolin
But I was a little depressed. I wasted all my efforts on my relationship. This little money still fell into Zhang Tinglan's hands. It was just a new appearance. Lao Zhang shouted that he had been fooled!
Although he jumped into Zhang Tinglan's trap, Lao Zhang was still very happy. The evidence in the case of the Zongshe Party was very sufficient. After arresting a group of people in succession, he reported the situation to Yuan Shikai. Yuan Jinkai was responsible for drafting the telegram.
Yuan Jinkai greatly exaggerated the dangers of the Zongshe Party and highlighted Lao Zhang's wisdom and martial prowess.
He also wrote that this operation captured two leaders of the Zongshe Party, with more than a hundred main members, and eliminated a major hidden danger to Fengtian's security. Zhang Zuolin was a great achievement. As soon as the telegram was sent, Yuan Jinkai found another person.
The young reporter showed them the captured dragon robe official seal and other evidence to prove the Zongshe Party's plot.
The reporter's mission is to search for news all over the world. The remnants of the previous dynasty are trying to rebel. This is definitely breaking news. Soon all major newspapers will publish the news on the front page. Zhang Zuolin, who solved the case, has also become a well-known figure. Many
Newspapers also praised Lao Zhang's decisive action.
Zhang Tinglan is also behind the media's massive publicity. In doing so, he is advertising the Fengjun Army, showing that it is a reliable force that sincerely maintains local security. In addition, it is also putting pressure on Beijing to force Lao Yuan to face up to this problem.
.Since the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, some old people and young people have been obsessed with treachery and engaged in activities that have a serious impact on the country's security. However, the Beiyang government has been very slow on this issue. Zhang Tinglan had to use the power of the media to put pressure on them.
While he was busy, his old friend Fred invited Zhang Tinglan to come over and have a chat. He immediately became energetic. As he cooperated more and more closely with Fred, he gained more and more benefits. He was very happy.
I am afraid that there will be good news again this time.
After Zhang Tinglan arrived at Daosheng Bank, Fred had been waiting for him outside the reception room. When he saw Zhang Tinglan coming, Fred's face lit up with joy: "Zhang, I know you are very busy recently.
I wanted to come to you in person, but I have a large number of accounts and it’s not convenient to carry them with me, so I invited you to come over.”
"Mr. Fred, I have always believed in your character. All you need is summarized data. I don't have that much time to look at it bit by bit."
Fred shook his head hurriedly: "Zhang, I want to criticize your idea. Doing business must be rigorous enough and carefully check all accounts. Even if you can't do it yourself, you must arrange for trustworthy people. After all, our business is getting more and more...
The harvest is getting bigger and bigger, so we can’t neglect it.” Fred’s eyes flashed with excitement when he mentioned the word harvest.
After the two people sat down, Fred smiled and said to Zhang Tinglan: "Zhang, all the five wagons of materials last time have been sold. Do you know how much we made?"
Zhang Tinglan knew from the first look at Fred's appearance that he would have a lot of money. These Jews were not as reserved as Chinese businessmen. On the contrary, they believed that the more they earned, the more they deserved to show off. This was their ability.
"Stop playing charades with me. If you have any good news, just tell me."
"Zhang, we made a full profit of 700,000 yuan, but 200,000 yuan fell into the pockets of those greedy Russian nobles, but we still got 500,000 yuan."
Zhang Tinglan was also stunned by this figure. He worked hard to squeeze out Shanqi and Shengyun, and ransacked the homes of many Manchu and Qing nobles before getting less than three million in cash, and only a few
I made a profit of 500,000 yuan from the truck. It was too easy to make money.
"Zhang, you don't need to be surprised. Due to the war, the Tsarist Russian aristocracy was hungry for luxury goods. The best red fox fur coat we brought was frantically scrambled by those ladies, and it was finally sold for 150,000 yuan.
Ordinary sorghum wine costs less than two cents per catty. After it is shipped to Russia and mixed with half water, it can still be sold for fifty cents. Higher-end spirits cost one yuan per catty, and the supply exceeds demand."
Zhang Tinglan's eyes widened when he heard this. The profit of four to five times would definitely drive everyone crazy. No wonder they all pay attention to making war fortune. Once the war starts, there will be gold and silver everywhere.
Fred looked at the somewhat excited Zhang Tinglan and said triumphantly: "Zhang, this is just the beginning. The opportunity for us to expand our business has arrived again. It depends on whether you can provide enough luxury goods."
