Beiyang reactionaries

Weng Jingtang transferred a group of people from the General Prosecutor's Office to the south, and Wang Daoyi, the deputy chief prosecutor of the General Procurator's Office who was investigating the Funing incident in Jiangsu, was also transferred to Jiujiang.

The Chongqing Customs, Wanxian Customs, Mengzi Customs, and Jiujiang Customs were raided.

After leading people into the customs, the file rooms, financial rooms, and other materials of the four customs were seized.There are also a large number of important customs figures summoned.

Several Japanese responsible persons involved in the seizure.

A sensation in the whole country.

376 Customs 3

"Minister Pan, don't worry, don't worry."

Yang Yongtai was trying his best to appease Pan Youji, the Japanese Minister to China.

customs.

The customs issue caused a sensation throughout the country.

Although Weng Jingtang raided the customs in order to block the news, he blocked all the news channels of the customs.But here is the customs, and if there is any disturbance, others will know.

After all, how many goods have to pass through here.

Although Weng Jingtang made an excuse, saying that due to internal customs reasons, the customs needs to rectify for a few days and is going to delay it for a few days.But the effect is not very effective.

By July 1923, 7, in less than two days, this incident had become known throughout the country, and it was impossible to hide it.Again, a lot of goods pass through these customs every day, how can this kind of thing be kept secret.

The four local customs of Chongqing, Wanxian, Mengzi and Jiujiang are all well-known customs in China.In particular, Chongqing and Wanxian are important customs among Chinese customs that can be compared with Guangzhou, Tianjin and Shanghai.

Like Chongqing Customs, how many things are exported from here.

Sichuan coal, iron ore and pig iron from the Sichuan Iron and Steel Plant, including sugar products produced in Sichuan, and many local specialties in Sichuan will pass through Chongqing.

Before Wanxian opened, Chongqing was the only customs in Sichuan.Even if Wanxian is currently closed, Chongqing is still very busy.Because Duan Xun has built a large number of factories in Sichuan, I don't know how many things have to go through Chongqing Customs.

The same is true for Wanxian Customs.

Since Wanxian opened up a special zone, Wanxian has become the world's bristle and tung oil trading center.Eighty to ninety percent of the world's bristles and tung oil are exported and traded in Wanxian.

Mengzi is also the largest customs office in southwestern provinces exporting to Southeast Asia.

Especially the export of antimony ore.

All the antimony mines in Yunnan are exported from Mengzi to Vietnam.

All are important.

But who would have thought that Weng Jingtang would bring a large number of prosecutors from the General Prosecutor's Office, remove a large number of prosecutors from the District Prosecutor's Office, and seconded a large number of anti-smuggling police officers who were in training from the Police Department, or rather, from Kang Xinru. The four customs were raided.

Many high-level customs officers were detained, and the reference room, archive room, and financial room were sealed up.

This thing is too big.

Since the establishment of China Customs, such a "vicious" thing has never happened.After all, since the establishment of the customs, the customs has always been the domain of foreigners.

It was controlled by the British at first, and now it is controlled by the Japanese.

Regardless of who controls it, the customs are the domain of the great powers.Just like the concessions, the customs are the private land of these great powers.It is under the sphere of power of these great powers.

China does not even dare to intervene in the daily work of the customs, and does not even have the right to distribute the income of the customs. Who would dare to raid the customs.It was like eating the gall of a leopard.When Japan got the news, they were completely dumbfounded.

I really don't understand.

What happened.

How could such a thing happen all of a sudden.

So little Pan Youji came to find Duan Xun aggressively.I just got the news that Duan Xun was urgently discussing the situation with President Xu Shichang, so it was Yang Yongtai, the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, who personally talked with Pan Youji.

"Prime Minister Yang, do you think I can calm down?"

Little Pan Youji replied coldly.

angry.

Not just angry.Pan Youji's work in China these years has been highly praised by the Japanese government.Because Japan's strength in China expanded rapidly during World War I.It is precisely because of such changes that Japan has been under great pressure from Britain, the United States and Japan.They were all angry that Japan had too much power in China, so they cooperated to expel Japan's power in China.

Japan was under a lot of pressure at the time.

But very good.

At this time, Duan Xun was born in China.Defeated all opponents, became the prime minister of the cabinet, and became the substantive controller of China.

Duan Xun has a "close" relationship with Japan, and Duan Xun has become the leader of China's "pro-Japanese faction".

So the relationship with Japan is very good.With Duan Xun's support, Japan has not only not stopped expanding its power in China in recent years, but has grown more and more powerful.Such a result made little Pan Youji very proud.

Take a look at the "Luda ​​Land Lease Agreement", which has already expired, but Duan Xun still has a way to make big things smaller.Although the negotiations were very intense, Japan's attitude was firm, while the Chinese government retreated step by step, and did not insist on confronting Japan.

These performances made Little Pan Youji and the Japanese government very satisfied with Duan Xun.

But what happened now?

What is Duan Xun going to do.

Yang Yongtai was very "terrified" and said: "Minister Pan, listen to me, listen to me. We were also caught off guard by this matter, and we only heard the news later. After we heard about this matter, we immediately started to deal with it. Investigate and see what happened. According to the information we have now, some people from those customs have reported to the General Prosecutor's Office, saying that there is a financial problem at the customs."

"Because of this, your government is going to raid these customs? Does it mean that you don't trust our government when you return to your country? Don't you believe in the integrity of our staff? Or is it that you are going to turn against our country when you return to your country?"

Little Pan Youji snorted coldly and asked questions one after another.

Having financial problems?

The Chinese government is also embarrassed to use such an excuse.At present, those government agencies in China, which level of government agencies do not have financial problems.Even if the prosecutor's office has set up an anti-corruption bureau and arrested some people, China's financial problems are still very serious.

He even came over to manage customs affairs.

Regardless of whether the customs has financial problems or not, that is the business of the customs.When will the Chinese government have the right to manage customs matters.This is a naked provocation to the Japanese government.

"Minister Pan, listen to me, listen to me. What happened this time is definitely not what we thought, neither the Prime Minister nor our cabinet. Even Director Dong (Dong Kang) of the Ministry of Justice is not clear about this time. How could we do such a reckless thing. What happened this time was completely decided by Chief Prosecutor Weng Jingtang of the General Prosecutor's Office."

"Prime Minister Yang, do you think I will believe what you say?"

"Minister Pan, I can assure you, on my reputation, that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with our cabinet. Don't worry, we will resolve this matter quickly, and we will not let this matter affect both of us. friendship between nations."

"I don't know how to solve it?"

Seeing Yang Yongtai's good attitude, Xiao Pan Youji's mood improved a lot.Little Pan Youji is quite satisfied with Yang Yongtai's attitude.
