Beiyang reactionaries

Yan Huiqing immediately became serious.

Xu Guoliang.

Zhili warlord, Feng Guozhang and Li Chun's early love general.

Xu Guoliang is 46 years old this year, and he is a relatively young warlord among the veteran warlords of the Beiyang Army.He served as a soldier in the Huai Army in his early years.Later, he graduated from the Beiyang Police Academy and worked in the Tianjin Police Department. He was a member of Feng Guozhang.In the second year of the Republic of China, because Feng Guozhang was in Jiangsu, Xu Guoliang was transferred from Tianjin to Jiangsu.At that time, Shanghai was still affiliated to Jiangsu, so Xu Guoliang served as the director of the Shanghai Third District Police Department.Because of Feng Guozhang's support, he became the director of the Zhabei Branch of Jiangsu Songhu Police Department a few months later, and became the director of Songhu Police Department half a year later.In January of the fourth year of the Republic of China, Xu Guoliang became a lieutenant general of the army and served as the director of the Jiangsu Police Department.He became the head of the police system under Feng Guozhang, and was very highly regarded by Feng Guozhang.

After Feng Guozhang entered Beijing as president, Li Chun, the new governor of Jiangsu, also attached great importance to Xu Guoliang and let him continue to serve as the boss of the Jiangsu police system.

Therefore, Xu Guoliang's influence in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai is still not small.

Especially in the Shanghai police system is a powerful figure.Later, Li Chun failed in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang War, and Jiangsu was controlled by Lu Yongxiang.However, although Xu Guoliang lost his position in the police system, his influence has not diminished.

He used his previous connections to establish Jufeng Trade, and one-third of Shanghai's opium came from Xu Guoliang's Jufeng Trade.For Lu Yongxiang, Shanghai's opium income is a huge income.There can be an additional tax of 3000 to [-] million per year.

Moreover, although Xu Guoliang is directly related, everyone said that he was from the Beiyang Army.Therefore, instead of suppressing Xu Guoliang, Lu Yongxiang encouraged Xu Guoliang's opium trade.

So Xu Guoliang is very strong in Shanghai.

"Mayor Tang, is it hard to catch Xu Guoliang?"

"Easy to catch."

Tang Shizun shook his head and spoke easily.

Tang Shizun came to Shanghai half a month earlier, and has carefully studied the situation in Shanghai these days.Then he caught Xu Guoliang at once, and put the breakthrough point on Xu Guoliang.

Yan Huiqing felt that Xu Guoliang was very powerful, but to Tang Shizun, Xu Guoliang was a sick cat who could be trampled to death at any time.

What is influence.

In Beijing, Duan Xun even arrested big men like Wang Kemin whenever he wanted.Compared with big shots like Wang Kemin, Xu Guoliang is nothing.At the beginning, Lu Yongxiang could easily clean up Xu Guoliang, but he didn't do anything.

Even Li Chun, Qi Xieyuan, Lu Yongxiang, Chen Leshan and other big names are now sadly resigned, Xu Guoliang is nothing.

Tang Shizun didn't take him seriously at all.

Yan Huiqing was taken aback.

He didn't expect Tang Shizun to answer like this, completely ignoring a former big man like Xu Guoliang.So I looked at Tang Shizun again, and found that Tang Shizun, who was usually simple and honest and smirking, did not have the usual smiling expression at this time.There is a murderous look in the eyes.

"What is Mayor Tang's idea?"

"Mayor, although we are officials of the Shanghai Municipal Government appointed by the Beijing government, we are outsiders to Shanghai. Whether it is to the foreign powers, to the chambers of commerce in Shanghai, or even to the Green Gang, we are all outsiders. And we want to be in Shanghai To gain a foothold, the first step is to deter these forces and let them know that Shanghai is no longer the Shanghai of the past. Quickly establish the authority of the new government, so that we can quickly open up the situation and start working. If we are obedient and think clearly about everything we want Do it, before it's too late."

"Shock? Kill chickens and scare monkeys?"

Yan Huiqing nodded slightly.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "one emperor and one courtier".In fact, it is not the same reason.The new boss may not really want to see those old courtiers.

But in order to establish your own prestige, the first step must be like this.

Seeing Yan Huiqing's consideration, Tang Shizun despised him.Sure enough, he was different from someone like Duan Xun who came out of the army.When Duan Xun was in Sichuan, he was really decisive, and he never knew how to be soft.

Including Jiang Hongyu, who is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs this time.

That's all because of his background in the army, so he seldom hesitates in many things.

But look at Yan Huiqing.

Hesitating, indecisive, thinking too much.

But thinking of what Duan Xun told him, Tang Shizun hid his small thoughts.Duan Xun told Tang Shizun that Yan Huiqing would definitely return to the cabinet to take on important responsibilities in the future.

Tang Shizun is a smart person, and he will never offend a future political figure like Yan Huiqing.

So he immediately continued: "Mayor, it's too simple to kill chickens and scare monkeys. But sometimes killing chickens and bullying monkeys has too little influence to produce big effects, so sometimes we should seize bigger goals. Xu Guoliang is not a "chicken" among chickens and monkeys. He is a powerful, well-connected and influential person in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. This is to rectify the police system and the Shanghai Youth Gang. Xu Guoliang has a huge relationship with the Shanghai police system and the Shanghai Youth Gang. As long as Jufeng Trade is controlled, a large number of policemen who help Jufeng Trade and those who do business with them can be quickly cleaned up Green Gang."

Yan Huiqing did not speak.

I took a breath in my heart.Although Yan Huiqing knew that he came to Shanghai this time to deal with the Shanghai Youth Gang.But there is no complete plan.

But look at Tang Shizun.

A plan has been made long ago, and even the target of the attack has been found.

Attack Xu Guoliang?

On Yan Huiqing's side, I really didn't even dare to think about it.Yan Huiqing wanted to investigate the situation of the Green Gang first, and then find a countermeasure.But Tang Shizun directly aimed at targets like Xu Guoliang, and then used Xu Guoliang to clean up the Shanghai police system and the Youth Gang.

It is completely different from Yan Huiqing's thinking.

But Yan Huiqing slowly approved Tang Shizun's plan in his heart.Xu Guoliang is indeed a good target.

"Mayor, but this matter needs the approval and help of the mayor."

"Mayor Tang, tell me."

"Mayor, I don't trust the police system in Shanghai. So I hope to get the support of the military. But this requires the mayor to communicate with the military and get orders from the cabinet."

army.

Yan Huiqing did not expect that the army would be mobilized so soon.

But looking at Tang Shizun's tough look, Yan Huiqing finally nodded and said, "I can report to the cabinet and contact the army. But Mayor Tang, are you sure? Don't hit the wrong target."

"Mayor, no."

"Okay. Mayor Tang, this is our first operation in Shanghai, we must make a careful plan."

"Yes."

366 Shanghai 3

Late 1922.

Entering the end of November and approaching December, the temperature in Shanghai has also begun to drop.Although it is not as cold as in the north, those who run the boat can also feel a little chilly.

"Boss, it's so cold, how about drinking some wine to warm yourself up?"

"Damn things."

Because the temperature is low.

So there are cats inside.A man with a hippie smile told the person sitting in the middle that he wanted to drink, but he directly reprimanded him.

"Don't you know what this cargo is? If something happens, let alone you, even I will die without a place to die. If something goes wrong, your family will sink into the Huangpu River."
