New Warlords 1909
Page 45
As soon as Chen Qimei and others left, Hua Fei put away his relaxed smile and immediately asked Guo Tongtong, "Is there any latest news from Qin Man?"
"Young master! Du Yuesheng has already controlled a large part of the Qing Gang's territory after a night of crazy expansion. As for Fan Jinchen, Huang Jinrong and others, although they did not suffer much loss in power after returning, due to missed opportunities, the expansion of the territory is limited. In addition, according to Qin Full of information, some forces in the Green Gang seem to want to negotiate, reunite, and avenge the dead bosses of the Green Gang!"
"Xiang Xian also sent news that his development is going well, but it will take time to gain a firm foothold in Shanghai Bund!"
"Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles are still silent, but the newspaper and public opinion circles are obviously very enthusiastic. The trend of public opinion is obviously beneficial to us. The embassies in the concession have just issued a joint statement!"
"Oh? Joint statement, read it and listen!"
"The United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Japan and other nine countries have issued statements, expressing concern about the riots that took place in Shanghai yesterday, expressing concern about the public security situation in Shanghai. Urging the Shanghai Metropolitan Government to strengthen security measures to protect countries in Shanghai Citizens' land safety and all property rights and interests. I hope that the Shanghai Police Department can arrest the thugs who armed robbery banks as soon as possible, so that the market can settle down as soon as possible!"
"Oh?" Hua Fei was very surprised. He didn't expect foreigners to make such a statement, and it was a joint statement.His relationship with foreigners is not so good!What surprised Hua Fei the most was that Japan was also among the countries in the joint declaration.With such a statement, Hua Fei's many worries were unnecessary.Because of this statement, it is clear that he is standing on Hua Fei's side and speaking for him.
"Master, according to Qin Man's information, Smith and the German Malink did a lot of things after they went back yesterday." Guo Tong seemed to see Hua Fei's doubts and explained.
"So that's it!" Hua Fei was very happy, and said to Guo Tong, "Guo Tong, get ready, in a few days, we will visit our colleagues in the banking industry in Shanghai!"
Not only Hua Fei did not expect, Shanghai Governor's Mansion, Shanghai business circles, banking circles, Beijing government, all forces concerned about this incident, no one thought that foreigners would come to such a joint statement.It's so strange, what kind of relationship does this Hua Fei have with foreigners?Can we get such help from foreigners?For the first time!
When Chen Qimei and others returned to the Dudu Mansion, the telegram from Beijing had already been sent.Telegram, get this matter done as soon as possible!Its meaning, isn't it obvious!How else to deal with this matter properly?
"Mr. Huang, I will leave it to you to deal with the police station and close the case as soon as possible. I will go to the Green Gang to talk to them. This dumb loss is hard to bear."
70 Nanyang Recruitment
As the saying goes, those who are soft are afraid of those who are hard, those who are hard are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of death!Now this fool Hua was not only stunned, but also ran to Shanghai to play desperately.The Shanghai Metropolitan Government finally softened. After all, this Hua Lengzi's territory is in Anhui. If he is angered, he might just commit a crime and march straight into Shanghai. Who knows!In the end, the Beijing government remained silent. In Yuan Shikai's view, no matter how violent the southern revolutionary party was, it would not do him any harm.
The strangest thing is that the foreigners in Shanghai not only responded flatly, but also faintly sided with Hua Fei.Thinking about it, I can understand that the Americans represented by Smith have maintained a good cooperative relationship with Hua Fei, and they will not easily break with Hua Fei.And the German, who just received a big gift from Hua Fei, is now the best time to reciprocate and show off his close friends, so how can he fall behind others?
Britain has huge economic interests in the Yangtze River Basin, and Hua Fei almost controls the Anhui section of the Yangtze River Basin.Therefore, the British will not offend powerful warlords in one place for such a trivial matter.As for the change of attitude of the Japanese, it is related to their next plan and has other purposes.
The colonial reality of all foreigners determines that they cannot completely occupy China, so it is the best choice to adopt the method of fostering interest spokesmen to protect their rights and interests in China from loss.As a newly rising local warlord, Hua Fei is undoubtedly very attractive to many countries.So this joint statement is also a goodwill conveyed by foreigners to Hua Fei.
The Green Gang is temporarily in a state of fragmentation, which has achieved Hua Fei's expected goal.After solving this matter, it is only the first step to overcome the banking crisis.After all, this has not completely eliminated the run on everywhere, and once the reserves are exhausted, the banks will still be closed as usual.
The Shanghai Police Department finally characterized the assassination of the Green Gang boss as gang infighting, captured many scapegoats, and executed some hooligans who took advantage of the chaos to rob and murder, which was also an explanation to the media.
All levels of power in Shanghai understand this truth, this matter cannot be pursued, it can only be left alone.As long as he Hua Fei someone has a gun.Without touching the fundamental interests, you can only compromise.What's more, the Green Gang has gone too far, robbing other people's treasury, isn't this killing people!
Funds from the bank's headquarters have been transferred to various branches. Although the run has eased, the reserves have almost dried up.If you can no longer get a large capital injection.Huafei can only resell the shares of factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to alleviate the crisis.
In short, there is still a lack of money!But the timing now is different from last year's situation. There is no chance for him to move the treasuries and customs treasuries in various places.As for other ways to make money quickly, Hua Fei couldn't think of it for a while.
"report!"
"Come in."
"Report to the army commander. There are two Nanyang Chinese businessmen outside asking to see you!"
"Nanyang Chinese merchants?" Hua Fei raised his eyes strangely.said quickly. "Please!"
Zhang Nanxun and Zhao Nianxiang were born in Nanyang.Each family is the leader of the Nanyang business community.But since childhood.They have such a feeling.Although their family is very rich.Although their business is all over Southeast Asia.But in Nanyang.The status of the Chinese cannot match their economic status.Even lower than the local aborigines.Just say last time.The Chinese in Surabaya just raised the national flag.Firecrackers were set off.It touched a nerve of the colonial government.Take the opportunity to arrest and control the Chinese.And use the army to forcibly open the market in the Huashang District.
The two young people experienced all the process of that incident.In their blood turned into grief and indignation.In vain and helpless time.It was Hua Fei who used him to make a strong statement.We supported Nanyang Chinese people.This is a lifesaver.With the support of the motherland's powerful soldiers.In the end, the Dutch government not only forced the release of all Chinese prisoners.And it never has.For the first time, I apologize to the Chinese in Surabaya.
These descendants of Yan and Huang are far away in a foreign country.at that moment.hug each other.Tears flowed.Feel the change in the attitude of the local colonial government.Feel the changes in the eyes of those indigenous people.These foreign wanderers.For the first time, I felt a sense of pride.Proud to be Chinese.
It's not that we can't have status.It's just that we don't have a strong motherland.It's just that we don't have a strong army.After this incident.Hua Fei is in the hearts of the Nanyang Chinese.Especially in the minds of those young people.Quickly turned into an idol of worship.Many young people have started counseling.Return to China to join Hua Feidi's army.correct.It is said that Commander Hua founded an iron-blooded military academy.Just go to this military school.
Many people are preparing their luggage.When we are about to leave.Such news came from Nanyang newspapers.There was a run on the Pacific Bank under Hua Fei's name, and bank bankruptcy was inevitable.Later, more news about this matter came from the country one after another.
There was a lot of discussion in the Nanyang Chinese circle, and those young people who were going to defect to Hua Fei couldn't sit still anymore.When they encountered difficulties, it was Hua Fei who desperately stood by the Nanyang Chinese and issued a strong warning to the Dutch government.Now that the commander of the Chinese army has encountered a problem, how can these Chinese people who have been favored by the commander of the Chinese army sit idly by?
Nanyang youths, represented by Zhang Nanxun and Zhao Nianxiang, quickly called for the formation of a large team of fundraising and support teams.The families of these two people are wealthy businessmen in Nanyang. With their personal visits, it took only a week to get a pledge of 200 million yuan from the Chinese business community.
Young people took to the streets with banners raising donations. When almost all the Chinese heard that they were raising donations for the Chinese Army Commander, even the Chinese with the most difficult families took out their only savings and donated them all.
On the streets of Surabaya, a white-haired old man in his 70s, holding a small yellow package, found the donation team.Donated the entire package, and said in a voice full of excitement, "Children, this is my old man's coffin book. But now you are raising money for the Chinese army commander, I, an old man, took it all out. There is no coffin, just Let's bury it with a broken mat, that's fine. But our motherland must be strong, and we can't let foreigners bully us anymore!"
The old man did not leave his name, put down the package, and staggered away.The young people who raised money opened the package and saw that there were 200 yuan in silver coins inside.The outer silver circle even retains the old man's body temperature.
Everyone was shocked by this old man, it was shocking and moving from the bottom of their hearts.In just half a month, these young youths raised 300 million silver dollars on the streets.
As soon as the news of the noon fundraising in Surabaya, Indonesia came out, Chinese youths in Jakarta, Pontianak, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and other places took action one after another, and started a massive fundraising campaign that swept across Southeast Asia.
But at this time, because Hua Fei was trying his best to solve the affairs of the Green Gang, he didn't notice that such a thing happened in Southeast Asia at this time.
Zhang Nanxun and Zhao Nianxiang were quite surprised, because they did not expect that the residence of Commander Hua was actually in an aircraft factory.However, it can also be seen from this point that this commander Hua is an honest soldier who doesn't try to show off.
They came to visit Hua Fei this time, representing more than 1000 Nanyang young students who came to Shanghai together.They also came with more than a dozen leased armed merchant ships, which were loaded with more than 1000 million raised silver coins.Just when they were ready to enter the house full of excitement to worship their idol, a young man about their age and dressed in simple military uniform walked out of the house.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhao, welcome, everyone is welcome to go home, and everyone is welcome to return to the motherland to have a look!"
The two hurriedly reached out to greet them politely. Hua Fei's simple words accidentally touched the softness in their hearts. No one could understand. Excited.Going home, the motherland, just these two simple words can already bring tears to the eyes of all Nanyang youths, filled with emotion.
"Thank you, thank you. I don't know if Commander Hua is free now, we want to see you!" Zhang Nanxun asked eagerly, holding Hua Fei's hand.
"Of course, we know that Commander Hua is very busy. If we don't have time now, we can make an appointment, and we can come again next time!" Zhao Nianxiang added hastily.
Hua Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly, "I think this guy should be free!"
Hua Fei's words made Zhang Nanxun and Zhao Nianxiang stunned. This guy?He actually called their idol a guy?Who is this man?Why dare to be so disrespectful to the commander of the Chinese army?
Zhang Nanxun quickly let go of Hua Fei's hand, with an unnatural expression on his face, "Little comrade, are you a subordinate of Commander Hua?"
Hua Fei tilted his head and thought for a while, then replied unsurely, "It should...it should be counted!"
"Little comrade! As a soldier, Commander Hua is an officer and a superior. As a subordinate, you must not only respect him verbally, but also faithfully implement the command of the commander in your heart." Zhang Nanxun continued After persuading Hua Fei a few words, Guo Tong, who was standing behind Hua Fei, couldn't help covering his stomach and hid aside laughing.
Zhang Nanxun and Zhao Nianxiang were even more astonished, and they couldn't help feeling suspicious.these people?Is it really the commander of the Hua army?How does it feel... There is no discipline that the army should have!
Seeing that the joke was almost ready, Hua Fei said formally with a smile, "You two, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the governor of Anhui, and I am the commander of the First Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, Hua Fei! But I'm not sure, I should belong to the Belong to your own subordinates!"
Bang!Hua Fei's words were like a heavy hammer hitting the heads of the two of them, making them dizzy and unable to find their way.He...he is Hua Fei?That incomparably iron-blooded, incomparably heroic Commander Hua?Why so young?Why is it so common?how so……?
Both of them had question marks in their minds. The gap between the imagined image of Zhonghua Fei and the reality was too great, which made it difficult for them to react for a while.It was Zhao Nianxiang who regained some sanity first, and said half-absently, "I'm sorry, I'm so rude. We... made Commander Hua laugh!"
"Where, it doesn't matter, I was negligent! You two must be very tired after coming from a long distance, so don't stand here, please come in!"
71 willing
After a cup of tea, Zhang Nanxun and Zhao Nianxiang felt much calmer.From time to time, they peeked at Hua Fei, who was always smiling and silent. The two of them worked very hard, but they still couldn't connect the young image in front of them with the imaginary iron-fisted and strong Hua Fei.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhao, the situation in Surabaya is okay now!" Although Hua Fei couldn't guess the purpose of these Nanyang young people, he still had a kind of affection for them.Seeing that both of them seemed to be still embarrassed by what happened just now, Harmony brought up a topic.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, how dare to be called a gentleman in front of Commander Hua!" Zhang Nanxun was also from Nanyang, he recovered from his momentary gaffe, and immediately remembered the business of this trip and the companions waiting outside, and immediately On behalf of the Chinese people in Surabaya, I would like to thank Commander Hua for caring about us overseas wanderers. This time, I waited for more than 1000 Nanyang youths and traveled thousands of miles to return to the motherland because I admired Commander Hua and wanted to join the Chinese Army. Commander’s army, I beg Commander Hua not to abandon him!”
"In addition, when I was waiting in Nanyang, I heard that Commander Hua's Pacific Bank was in trouble, so we discussed in Nanyang to call for a fundraiser for Commander Hua. Fortunately, Commander Hua is famous and very prestigious in Southeast Asia. In just one month, I have raised more than 320 million silver dollars, and I will bring all of them to Shanghai this time, hoping to help Commander Hua!"
