Beiyang reactionaries

Many people persuaded Sun Yat-sen.But who can stop what Sun Yat-sen decided.

Amid the scolding of others, Sun Yat-sen still borrowed money.

The same is true during the war of protecting the law.

Sun Yat-sen came to Guangdong, and the military government of Guangdong's law enforcement was also short of money.The finances are all in the hands of Lu Rongting, and Sun Yat-sen has no money in his hands.If you don't have money, you won't be tough, and you won't have the confidence to speak.

So Sun Yat-sen, like Duan Xun, had the idea of ​​Guan Yu at that time.

Stronger than Duan Xun.

At the very least, Duan Xun knew how to force the diplomatic corps from the public opinion, and he was very powerful, and of course he was more likely to win over Japan.Duan Xun made a lot of preparations for Guan Yu, forcing the diplomatic missions step by step.

But Sun Yat-sen was not.

Do it when you think of it.

Directly send someone to tell the diplomatic mission that I want to close Yu.If you don't give it, I will send troops to occupy all three customs in Guangdong to see if you will give it.Just that bold.So much so that Zhu Erdian, who even supported Guan Yu's interests and couldn't hand them all over to the Beijing government, was angry.

If Sun Yat-sen is really allowed to send troops to occupy the customs in Guangdong, where will they put their face and how will the interests of the great powers be guaranteed.At that time, all the warlords in China will learn from Sun Yat-sen, so how can these great powers continue to mix in China.

Therefore, in a rage, the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Japan, and Italy concentrated all their navies in the Far East. Although there were not many ships, even if there was no Japanese navy, their strength was not as good as that of other law enforcement fleets.

But this represents countries such as Britain, France, the United States, Japan and Italy.

These warships made the appearance of going to Guangdong, which frightened Sun Yat-sen and the military government of Guangdong's law enforcement.Immediately, he publicly stated that the military government of Guangdong Province never thought of attacking Guan Yu.

This softness ended the matter at that time.

But just as Little Pan Youji said, Duan Xun and the Anhui warlords have already started.Knowing this matter, other warlords will definitely follow up, and the Guangdong military government that has been eyeing Guan Yu before, as well as Chen Jiongming's Guangdong army, will start to act.

Not only them, even Li Chun, the governor of Jiangsu, and Chen Guangyuan, the governor of Jiangxi, who were directly related, would not let go of such a good opportunity.After all, winning Guan Yu would greatly increase their income.

Now Duan Xun is still considered gentle and wants to negotiate with the diplomatic mission.

What if one of them, like Sun Yat-sen, wants to seize the customs by force?

"Ambassador Pan, what's your opinion?"

U.S. Ambassador Rui Enshi asked little Pan Youji.

Little Pan Youji said calmly: "I think it's better for us to talk to them directly and take the initiative in the negotiation than to force us to hand over Guanyu. And we can ask them to use these Guanyu for construction. Schools, building traffic."

"This is good, this is good."

Rui Enshi nodded frequently.

Zhu Erdian looked at Rui Enshi, a bookworm, and nodded frequently, wishing to kick him out.Only people with brain problems like Rui Enshi really think that those warlords will invest in construction after they get Guan Yu.

Who among these warlords in China cares about construction.

Very disappointed.

Zhu Erdian has always hoped that the great powers can act together in China, or act in unison.As long as the big powers have the same attitude, whether it is the Beijing government in China or the warlords in various places, no one dares to say no to the big powers.

For this goal, Zhu Erdian has made many concessions to Japan, France, and the United States, hoping that everyone will be in step.When it comes to dealing with China, everyone cooperates.

pity.

It's a pity that these people, or these countries only think about their own interests.

As long as everyone cooperates together, how can a warlord like Duan Xun dare to do anything.But it is obvious that Duan Xun has already benefited Japan and won over Japan, so Japan has this attitude.

Zhu Erdian glanced at these people.

France is firmly opposed to it, and Italy doesn't care, and can't get in the way.Because Italy is basically soy sauce in the Far East.The remaining U.S. ambassador Rui Enshi didn't understand anything, and Japan's attitude was very clear, that is, to support Duan Xun.

Zhu Erdian was very helpless.

Because it is clear that the diplomatic corps is very divided at the moment.But with the support of Japan, this problem is basically unstoppable.Because for China at present, the combined strength of Britain, France and the United States is not as strong as Japan.

Because they have not been completely drawn out of the European war.

And in the Far East, they still need to rely on Japan and China to attack Russia.Therefore, Zhu Erdian nodded slowly, and said, "I think it is negotiable to allocate customs surplus according to the location of the customs."

246 Beijing Government

"Mr. Yi (yi), good news."

Office of the Treasurer.

Zhou Ziqi.

Seeing a person rushing into his office, Zhou Ziqi smiled and said, "Yufu, you are the chief of traffic, why are you still so reckless. What a joke."

"Grandpa, don't you have something to look for?"

"what happened?"

The person who came was Ye Gongchuo, the current chief of transportation of the Beijing government.

After Jin Yunpeng took over the position of cabinet chief this time, although he really wanted to make a big splash, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.Many of Jin Yunpeng's ideas could not be implemented.Because Duan Qirui spent a lot of military expenses for the war, when Duan Qirui announced his resignation, there were only about 300 million funds left in the treasury.When Gong Xinzhan's cabinet fell and the chief ministers of the cabinet resigned and left Beijing one after another, they took the 300 million away.In addition, after Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin surrounded Beijing, they extorted 2000 million military pay from the Beijing government.

The Beijing government is currently clinking poorly.

Jin Yunpeng looked around, but couldn't find where to get the money.Because from Yuan Shikai to Duan Qirui, in order to borrow money from foreigners, they mortgaged everything that could be mortgaged.

Starting from customs tariffs, going down to various minerals, various railways, various roads, and various salt taxes, anyway, the things that the Beijing government can control are basically suppressed.

When Duan Qirui borrowed from Japan before, he wanted to mortgage Jiangsu's railways and minerals to Japan, but Li Chun, the governor of Jiangsu, directly pushed him back.Tell Duan Qirui not to think about good things, Jiangsu will not agree.We can see the embarrassment of the Beijing government.The Beijing government does not say that they can mortgage whatever they want, because local warlords may not agree.

From Yuan Shikai to Duan Qirui, the Beijing government has basically mortgaged everything that can be mortgaged.

So much so that Jin Yunpeng really wants to borrow money from foreigners at present, but he really can't find anything that can be mortgaged for a while.Foreign powers are not charities, how can they lend you money if you have no collateral.Moreover, Jin Yunpeng had never done such a thing before, and he didn't have many contacts in this area, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

So Jin Yunpeng thought of a way.

Since it is currently impossible to borrow money from foreign countries, we will borrow money from domestic banks and those merchants.But even if you want to borrow money from them, it is not so easy.After all, it is easy to issue government bonds, but it is much more difficult for those banks and financial institutions to buy them.After all, those merchants who are able to open banks in China and buy government bonds do not have some background behind them.Even the major shareholders of these institutions themselves are some big bosses of the Beiyang Army.

You can't just force them to buy.

Those small merchants can bully them at will.When those local warlords expanded their armies, they apportioned all the military expenses to those small businessmen and asked them to pay for the support of the troops.But the banks and big businessmen who can really help Jin Yunpeng have complex forces behind them, and Jin Yunpeng can't afford to offend them.Therefore, Jin Yunpeng thought of the bigwigs in the Chinese financial circle.

Department of Transportation.

The reputation of the new transportation department is so bad that they are all labeled as traitors and traitors.Lu Zongyu, Cao Rulin and the others have all gone to the wild now, and they don't know where they are living.Anyway, the current limelight has not passed, and they will not come out for activities.Moreover, Jin Yunpeng is a "traitor" of the Anhui faction in their eyes, and it is impossible for the Anhui faction to serve Jin Yunpeng.

So Jin Yunpeng thought of the old transportation department.
