Back to the Republic of China as a commander

There were three other people who accompanied Liu Hongsheng. Strictly speaking, Liu Hongsheng seemed to be just leading the way, because these three people included Yang Yongtai, the number one military adviser under Wang Zhenyu's account.

Yang Yongtai's official status at the moment is the acting governor of Guangdong Province, but it doesn't matter, the governor himself is not in charge of civil affairs, his main task is to coordinate the relationship between all parties in Guangzhou.And as a Cantonese himself, it is even easier for him to do this kind of thing, like a fish in water.

With the latest land-for-peace agreement reached by Sun Wen and Wang Zhenyu, the situation in Guangdong has completely stabilized after Huang Xuchu's commander entered the Shantou area. At least [-] to [-] Chaoshan and Meizhou people chose to go to Fujian to follow Lao Sun to continue the revolution. go down.

At this time, Wang Zhenyu sent an urgent message to Yang Yongtai, asking him to go to Shanghai immediately to preside over the preparations for the youth army's stationing in Shanghai.Looking at the National Socialist Party, only this master can handle this job.So after the government affairs of Guangdong Province were left to Chen Gongbo, Yang Yongtai came to Shanghai.

However, Yang Yongtai has a characteristic, he likes to plan ahead, so he did not come alone, but also brought two people, one is Liu Guojun, the second industrialist under Wang Zhenyu, who is in charge of the business of Guangdong and Guangxi Development Corporation, this person is in Shanghai He is also well-known (he worked in Hongsheng Company for more than a year before coming to Anjiang).The second person is an old friend of Shanghai's financial tycoons, Cai Naihuang, Shanghai Daodaotai in the late Qing Dynasty.

Speaking of Cai Naihuang’s fate, when the rubber stock market crashed in Shanghai in the late Qing Dynasty, the successful trading could save the situation. Unexpectedly, the party and government in the middle of the country forced Sheng Xuanhuai to turn the situation into a deadlock, and he also lost his position and left.After the Republic of China, he was not favored by the old Yuan. Finally, when the old Yuan was about to proclaim himself emperor, Cai Naihuang got a salary-raising job. Yuan Shikai appointed Cai Naihuang as the supervisor of the smoking ban in the three provinces of Anhui, Jiangxi and Jiangsu.Everyone, don't be fooled by the word "no smoking". During the period of the Republic of China, you had to read many literal things backwards.For example, when Yuan Shikai first became president, he would call himself a public servant when he met everyone, as if the people were really the masters of the country.Or what Sun Chuanfang said later was true, what kind of bullshit public servant, this public servant is the worst in the world, either stealing from the master, or sleeping with the master's woman.Sure enough, at the end of the game, Yuan Shikai, an extra-large public servant, is going to be the emperor, and from a public servant to a princess.Since public servants are such a thing, the so-called ban on smoking is actually turning over cigarettes. This is not only done by Yuan Shikai, but our Wang Zhenyu started the tobacco business by setting up an organization of the Xiangxi Banning Bureau.Naturally, Cai Naihuang, the anti-smoking supervisor, colluded with British businessmen to ban local cigarettes and sell foreign cigarettes. Each box required tobacco manufacturers to pay 4500 yuan, and it was expected to make more than 00 million yuan in profit.After the outbreak of the War to Protect the Nation, Cai Naihuang was sent to Guangdong to serve as the director of the Guangdong Opium Special Bureau because he was from Panyu, Guangdong. While raising funds, he monitored Long Jiguang.

At this time, Long Jiguang was surrounded by various anti-Yuan forces and was forced to negotiate with Liang Qichao's representatives Xu Qin and Tang Juedun.

Negotiations between Yuan Fang's representative and Long Jiguang's representative at the Haizhu Water Police Station in Guangzhou reached a stalemate. ** Central commander Lu Zhongming and many others died on the spot.It is the infamous "Haizhu Incident".Afterwards, Long blamed Cai Naihuang and Yan Qihan (who had fled) for the Haizhu tragedy. Cai Naihuang was detained by Tan Xuekui's brother, Guangdong Navy Commander Tan Xueheng, and was about to be shot.

Fortunately, the youth army quickly defeated Long Jiguang's troops, and Tan Xueheng was forced to hand over military power to the youth army before he had time to shoot Cai Naihuang.Therefore, Cai Naihuang failed to obtain the thirteen-character announcement in the original history that "Cai Naihuang is innocent, and everyone in the country can be killed", but was rescued by Yang Yongtai.

This trip to Shanghai, how could this former parent officer be missing?

Now that Yang Yongtai, who played the leading role on Wang Zhenyu's side, was present, it was natural for the Ningbo Gang to speak.The Ningbo Gang at this time is naturally headed by Yu Qiaqing and Sun Hengfu, but it is clear that one of these two people is a good face and the other is a bad face.

The first person to speak was Sun Hengfu. He stood up and said to Zhang Qian, who is a middleman: "Everyone is in the business field, every minute is money, and I have nothing to say. I just want to ask the opposite party a question." friends of mine."

Seeing that the visitor was not kind, Yang Yongtai was not in a hurry to say anything, but raised his hand with a smile and said: "Listen carefully, but it's okay to say."

Sun Hengfu nodded and said: "As far as we know, your army has its own bank and issued a currency called Huayuan, and this currency quickly became the local currency after your army captured Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places. Even in the Fujian area controlled by Mr. Sun Wen, this currency is circulated as hard currency. Mr. Sun is a banker. As we all know, our Siming Bank has the right to issue currency since the Qing Dynasty. I just want to know After your army enters Shanghai, can our Siming Bank issue Huayuan? And in the future interest structure of Shanghai, what can our Siming Bank get? These questions are not clear, let us Ningbo people support you foreigners, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

After Sun Hengfu finished speaking, all the people present turned their attention to Yang Yongtai, wanting to see how he would answer.Especially Zhang Jingjiang, because these Ningbo people had already raised these issues in front of himself and Chen Qimei last night.At that time, in order to gain the support of these local tyrants, Chen Qimei agreed to everything, and promised that the central bank of the future revolutionary government would be led by these Ningbo people. What is going on?

Yang Yongtai was sitting there at the moment, smiling unhurriedly: "Boss Sun, first of all, to correct you, you didn't have one question just now, and the second is two questions. I want to ask which one do you want me to answer?" ?”

After speaking, everyone laughed. Since Sun Hengfu was rich and powerful, no one had ever teased him like this, but at this moment he could only bear it.Sun Hengfu said with a cold face: "Mr. Yang, you can answer whatever you want. If you want to make fun of Sun, Sun will leave immediately."

Yang Yongtai raised his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hands, and said with a smile: "Boss Sun thinks too much, hehe, just kidding. Since you asked this question just now, I will answer it together. First, currency I can't guarantee the right to issue currency, but I can tell you clearly that if there is no accident, the issue of currency issue right in the future will be re-planned after our army unifies the country. Second, the biggest layout of Shanghai in the future is only fair and just. , openly, Siming Bank will surely make a lot of money in Shanghai in the future, so there is no need to worry! Third, the problem of foreigners that Boss Sun mentioned just now, I emphasize one point, Song Hanzhang, Chen Guangfu and others who are currently managing the bank for our general are all People from Zhejiang, or even from Ningbo, I wonder if Boss Sun is sure they are foreigners?"

After hearing this, Sun Hengfu cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Yang, you can continue to talk about these big words, Sun has something to say goodbye."

Seeing Sun Hengfu not giving face so much, Yang Yongtai's expression changed: "It seems that someone is not giving the commander any face?"

"So what, I'm in the concession, what can Wang Zhenyu do to me? If it's you, Mr. Yang, I have to advise you, this world doesn't necessarily belong to anyone, even if your soldiers can enter Shanghai, We can also prevent your Hua Yuan from getting in. If you don’t believe me, you can try it, you bitch!”

"Really? Then Mr. Sun, you might as well stay in the concession and see if Boss Huang and Boss Du are willing to let you settle down." Yang Yongtai sneered.

Sun Hengfu sneered and said: "Mr. Yang, if I heard you right, you are threatening me! I, Sun Hengfu, are not scared too much, just let the horse come here."

Yang Yongtai buttoned his suit and said: "No, no, I think you misunderstood, Boss Sun, our National Socialist Party or the Youth Army never threaten anyone. But since all the bosses are here, I still remind everyone that if we When the Youth Army has arrived in Shanghai, there are only two kinds of people in Shanghai, our friends and our enemies."

Seeing the situation, Yu Qiaqing immediately came out to be a peacemaker: "Everyone, don't get angry. The business is about asking for money rather than anger. Let's sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

But Yang Yongtai stood up ungratefully and said: "No need, today doesn't seem like a day to talk about things, but everyone, I still hope that you can understand the nature of our National Socialist Party and the policies that our Marshal Wang is currently implementing. To be clear, you can ask the businessmen in Hongjiang. Don’t go the wrong way or stand in the wrong team just for the small profit in front of you. Once the opportunity is missed, it will be gone. Okay, goodbye!”

After saying that, Yang Yongtai left, Liu Hongsheng, Cai Naihuang and others hurriedly followed out, leaving a room full of big bosses sitting there looking at each other. It seemed that the youth army was much tougher than the revolutionary army, which actually made these budget-minded big bosses Hesitated.

Coming out of Siming Bank, Cai Naihuang quickly followed Yang Yongtai and asked, "Brother Changqing, Brother Yu has something unclear, why don't we talk to them?"

Yang Yongtai stopped and said: "Judging from their performance just now, these Ningbo guys are not in a hurry, which means that someone from Sun Wen's side is also in contact with them. Isn't Zhang Jingjiang Sun Wen's finance minister? So these The Ningbo guys are actually waiting and watching, and they will see who will enter Shanghai first. So don't worry, as long as our army is up to the challenge, these guys will take the initiative to come to us, and then we will naturally set the price. "

Cai Naihuang nodded, and said worriedly, "Then what if Sun Wen's revolutionary army invades Shanghai first?"

Yang Yongtai replied without hesitation: "Brother Bohao (Cai Naihuang's words), this world is very magical, but I can be sure of one thing, that is, the things you worry about are impossible to happen..."
