419 Jinan Incident, a collection and subscription

Now is the season when spring returns to the earth and everything recovers. However, in Beijing, Tianjin, Fengtian and other large cities in the north, it is gloomy and bleak. Especially the solid homes that used to live a decent life, now it feels as if the sky has fallen overnight.

No way, a sudden financial crisis seemed to sweep the entire northern country in an instant. Early in the morning of March 20, the 17th year of the Republic of China, the Bank of Communications, the Beiyang Industrial Bank, the Jincheng Bank, the Yanye Bank, the Zhongnan Bank, the Continental Bank, the Frontier Bank, and the Fengtian Guanyin, all of which looked to have outstanding reputations and stable operations, and the backstage was as hard as a steel plate, were all crowded with people holding banknotes (issued by banks) and deposit receipts asking for cash withdrawals. It's just that these banks, without exception, have played the sign of "suspending business". The door was closed tightly. There are even soldiers with Type 38 rifles on their shoulders at the entrance of some banks, who are "maintaining order" with their teeth and claws.

What is even more surprising is that the financial crisis was also involved in the financial crisis, and the banks run by the Japanese, the Bank of Korea and the Jeongjin Bank, which seemed to be extremely strong, were also crowded with people holding "Japanese golden tickets" and demanding cash. You must know that these so-called "golden tickets" are claimed to be linked to gold, and they usually have to be discounted when they are exchanged in the ocean, but today they have also encountered a run.

Probably in order to keep their golden signboard from being lost, these Japanese banks did not play the sign of "suspension of business" early on, but put on a posture of "open exchange". Boxes full of silver dollars were carried to the bank counter, and the lids were opened, filling them with a glittering ocean of silver. The Japanese managers of the bank also stood at the gate in person, smiling hypocritically in the most standard Japanese style, saying things like "welcome," "please go," and "come back next time" over and over again in stiff Chinese. It looks like there's really no problem, and I'm not afraid of a run. However, at the gate of the bank, groups of ronins of the "Japanese Overseas Chinese Youth Comrade Association" wearing kimonos and carrying Toyo swords and dancing their teeth and claws intimidate depositors. But he clearly told everyone that there was not much cash in these Japanese banks, and if he didn't hurry up, he was afraid that this little hard-earned money would be wasted.

Seeing the appearance of these Japanese ronins with their teeth and claws, the depositors crowded at the door of the bank naturally saw the taste. Yin Wei, who was taken by the Japanese, didn't dare to confront him in person, but sighed and whispered in a low voice.

"It looks like this time...... Is the bank in Little Japan really not working? ”

"Yes, that's what the newspaper said today, yesterday they Japanese, Duan Zhilao, Zhang Yushuai, and their banks lost money in fiat currency speculation and bond trading, as if they had a billion silver dollars."

"A billion silver dollar guys, where do they have so much money? Isn't it the hard-earned money saved by thousands of small savers? Will you get it back now? ”

"I don't know if you're old, right? At present, Beiyang Industrial Bank, Fengtian Guanyinhao, Bank of Communications, Beisi Bank, and Frontier Bank have closed their doors. It said that it was suspended, but I don't know how many days this suspension will be? ”

"Fortunately, these Japanese banks haven't closed their doors yet, so there is hope that our money can be taken out."

"Alas...... I don't think so. Zhang Dashuai and Duan Zhilao always have guns and turf. And there is also a 'United Reserve Bank of China', I heard that it is a banknote issuing bank jointly established by all the powerful factions in China, and the silver dollar bills issued are linked to the silver dollar, and will never depreciate, and in the end, the silver dollar bills are exchanged for the silver dollars, fiat currency, and banknotes deposited by depositors. It may not be true that it will never depreciate, but it ...... Eventually, I can get a little bit back. But it's hard to say about the Japanese, they can't just leave, can we still go to Japan to find them? ”

"I don't believe those marshals will be so kind-hearted."

"It's not a question of good or bad hearts, it's about the hearts of the people. At present, they are competing with Sun Cannon in the south for the world, and since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'those who win the hearts of the people will win the world'. If they really dare to announce that they will not repay their debts, won't this person's heart belong to Sun Dacang? In this world, there is still a fart, I think the most suspenseful thing is these Japanese banks, they pat their butts and leave, we really want the family to jump the Yellow River."

"Hmph, if they really dare to close the door and pay their debts, we will fight with them anyway, and we won't be able to live anyway......"

"Yes, how many ronins are there after fighting with them? There are so many of us, one person drowns them with a mouthful of spittle."

The depositors were full of anger after discussion, and the more they got out of control, the louder they became. Most of the Japanese ronins who "maintain order" on the side can understand Chinese, but they can't understand the expressions of these Chinese, hear their shouts, and know what happened. However, these Japanese ronins did not know how powerful the power of the people was, and in the face of thousands of angry people, they just grimaced and slowly pulled out the katana that was carried at their waists......

……

Beijing, Shuncheng County Palace.

The vice president of the Republic of China, the de facto owner of the city of Beijing, Marshal Zhang Zuolin, was just in his study, walking around irritably.

The news from all over the country is very bad, and the big banks of the Beiyang Capital family are almost insolvent, and they are all closed down at this time. Even the Japanese in Northeast Korea have encountered a run on the Korean bank, which is equivalent to the "central bank" on the ground in Northeast China, and its status is even higher than that of the official bank of the three eastern provinces, which is the real "central bank." Although this incident has always made veteran Zhang linger, but now this "central bank" is really going to fall...... Even if the economy of the Northeast is finished, hundreds of millions of yuan of paper money turned into waste paper overnight, and the large sums of cash stored in the North Korean banks of the various bills in the Northeast immediately disappeared, and the entire financial system in the Northeast supported by these banknotes naturally collapsed instantly...... You can figure out what happened with your toes.

At this time, his waist was already clumped, and the hair that only showed a little bit was completely white. There are only fifty people, and there are excellent genes for a long life and a hundred years old, but at a glance, this Fengjun marshal is already a dying old man.

Pan Fu's butt was next to a chair under his head, his face was pale, but he looked at Zhang Dashuai pitifully. This Jiangbei genius is said to be one of the culprits of this 'financial crisis', although he did not approve of this at first, but in the end he still helped to give advice, and personally commanded everything, and the result was ...... Today, I am here to bear the guilt of Jing Pleading, although I have a mouthful of "despicable crimes deserve death", but I am still reluctant to die. I just hope that the handsome man can show kindness, just spare this time, and never do this kind of stupid thing of lifting a stone to hit his feet in the future.

"Xinhang, this is the ...... I don't blame you, I let the ghost get confused. Zhang Zuolin slowly turned his head, there was no trace of brilliance in his eyes, as if he was looking at him, and as if he was looking at the south in the distance: "...... I really don't blame you for this, and you didn't approve of it at the time. It's just that this thing has happened now, how to deal with the aftermath, you can also come up with an idea, don't let the one in Wuhan see the joke, our gentlemen in the Northeast can't let a few dollars force them to death, right? ”

Having said this, Zhang Dashuai's eyes suddenly flashed a few times, and it seemed that the momentum of a generation of heroes had returned: "Xinhang, I have already counted the current situation with Xiao Liuzi and Yang Linge." Their opinion is that the financial plate must not be chaotic and must not collapse. As long as it can be stabilized, there is still hope for our country. Otherwise...... There is only one dead end, and the only way to stabilize the plate is to issue new banknotes, that is, silver dollar bills. It's just that...... Will anyone else believe it? And will China G agree to use silver dollar coupons to save the market? I'd like to hear your opinion on this. ”

Pan Fu complained bitterly in his heart, the current situation has collapsed, how can he be saved? However, I have to bite the bullet and search my stomach to make an idea for the old Zhang family: "Handsome...... The first thing we need to maintain now is not finance, but the stability of the market, and we must not mess up. As long as it doesn't mess up, this breath will definitely be able to ease up. In fact...... The economy on the territory of Feng is still good at the moment, although it is not as prosperous as in the south, but the financial revenue and trade are also very good. Last year, there was a surplus, and this year it was supposed to be ...... It is possible to fill a lot of shortfalls. ”

“…… The second is that public opinion must be directed towards us, and we must not sing short silver dollar coupons like short fiat currency. This banknote...... To put it bluntly, it's just a piece of paper, and you can have as much as you want. The key is that the little people can believe it, and what do the little people know? Didn't you read the newspapers? Listen to the rumors from outside? As long as the newspapers say that the silver dollar coupon is good, and the French currency is not good, we can pass. ”

“…… The third is to continue to suppress fiat currency, and must not allow fiat currency to continue to circulate in the northern market, just as the current situation of fiat currency in the south. They have implemented exchange controls and banned the export of gold and silver. But the common people still regard fiat currency as a treasure, why? Isn't it because there are no other options? Because fiat currency is the only paper money in circulation in the southern market. As long as our silver dollar coupons do this, we can save the day, and ...... I can live better than the original. ”

“…… As for the middle G, there is no need to worry at all. They are also determined to be in the world, if our Feng system collapses, who can this north belong to? How many of them have guns in G at the moment? How much can you take? Isn't it all to Sun Cannon? The current three-point world situation is gone. So they can only support us, and even those who have been bewitched by Zhong G will support us for the time being. ”

A genius is a genius, and he figured out a lot of methods with a turn of his brain, which is more complete than what the Zhang family father and son and Yang Yuting came up with all night.

Zhang Dashuai sighed lightly, and his face improved slightly: "Xinhang is really my Zhuge Liang, it seems that we can still survive this level." I have already ordered the army to come out and maintain it, as long as the Central G does not incite the trade unions and peasant associations to make trouble with us, it should be able to maintain it in a short time. Public opinion...... The newspapers run by Beiyang and Feng's capital can naturally grasp it, and in addition, the pro-China G newspapers should also be able to support us. It's just a newspaper of the same series as the Shabaab and the Kuomintang, and I'm afraid of ...... Xinhang, do you have any solutions? ”

Pan Fu frowned and shook his head: "This...... It's not easy to do. If we send troops to seize it, I am afraid that the Kuomintang and the Young People's Party will fight with us and even if they don't, it will also cause panic, and stability is the first priority at the moment. Alas...... If only something could happen, I would look away. It's like the Middle East Road, the Mongolian incident. As long as the external trouble comes...... The domestic attention has shifted, and it will naturally be much easier for us to do something. ”

"Outside the world?" Zhang Zuolin suddenly thought of something, and slapped the table: "These little Japan can give up if they lose so much money?" They will definitely send troops to grab money"

Pan Fu's face slipped with a hint of joy: "Dashuai, if the Japanese can fight with the Kuomintang, we will be free." When the time comes, we just need to hold high the banner of anti-Japanese patriotism and wave the flag behind and shout, and let the Kuomintang fight with them to lose both......"

Zhang Zuolin had a solemn expression on his face at this time, and he began to pace in the room again with his hands behind his back: "I'm afraid this matter is not so simple. Even you can see that the fight between Little Japan and Minami is a lose-lose situation...... Can't the Japanese see it? They are seeking money this time, and their government is backed by the chaebols, and now these chaebols have slaughtered the Kuomintang and suffered heavy losses, and they are anxious to find a way to make up for the losses. As for...... I'm afraid no one cares who this loss gets back from, right? ”

"What do you mean, Dashuai...... The Japanese are going to attack Manchuria," Pan Fu gasped.

……

Jinan, Shandong, the gate of the Jinan branch of Yokohama Zhengjin Bank.

The situation here is almost out of control, and at least tens of thousands of Chinese holding banknotes of various denominations issued by the Zhengjin Bank have surrounded the imposing bank building. The doors of the banks were shut...... After a whole morning of runs, Yokohama Zhengjin Bank, one of Japan's eight special banks, finally could not support it, and announced that it would not matter if it was suspended, the crowd that was originally just a few thousand people developed into tens of thousands of people in just over an hour, and it is still increasing. Seeing that something was wrong, the manager of the Jinan branch of Zhengjin Bank was busy hanging up the phone to the Japanese consulate and the Shandong Military Supervision Bureau, asking them to send troops to maintain order. It's just that the army of the Anhui system can't wait for the left to come, and the right can't wait either. Instead, there were more and more angry Chinese depositors around the banks, and all sorts of gossip spread throughout the city of Jinan.

"Oh no, no, the Japanese bank is going to run, and the gold, silver, and foreign exchange in it have been quietly transferred by them"

"What? Want to run? They...... It won't be so credibility, right? Once this run, who will dare to do business with them in the future? ”

"Hey, this is not a question of credibility or discredibility, but a war has just come from Qingdao, the Japanese are preparing to send troops to attack Shanghai and Wuhan ruled by the Kuomintang, and they want to find Sun Cannon to recover their losses."

"Ah, then...... Did they really make Sun Dacang's people suffer in Shanghai? ”

"You don't know until you're old? The Japanese lost more than a billion silver dollars in the public bond speculation in Shanghai this time, and I heard that their finance minister had committed suicide by seppuku at home, and did you know that seppuku? It's to cut the belly with a knife, and the liver, spleen, stomach, and large intestine in it all flow to the ground."

"But if you want to fight, you can't go without paying us back."

"Hehe, I think this Japanese golden ticket is going to be wasted paper. Think about it, if they defeat us, how can they find money for us? As long as a clause is written on the treaty, the golden ticket will be invalid, and Sun Dacang will sign and pledge. We're going to lose all our money."

"But what if we win?"

"If you win, the money will not come. How much territory does little Japan have, if it weren't for the exploitation of our China, they would be able to have today? If you lose, you have to get out of China's territory, and when the time comes, you will be poor, what can you do with them? ”

"What can I do then? My money is hard-earned money...... Woohoo......"

"I think...... Maybe there's something of value in this bank building, right? It is possible that their gold and silver have not been completely removed. Why don't we rush it? ”

"yes, you can't let them run if you rush in"

"Rush in"

"Rush"

"Rush ...... Rush ......"

"Horn-Hook"

At this time, I don't know where a crisp gunshot came from. Then another voice shouted: "The Japanese have shot, the Japanese have killed people, they have taken away our hard-earned money, and they are going to kill people."

The mysterious sound of gunfire and the roar of unknown voices finally ignited the anger of tens of thousands of Chinese depositors. The Jinan Zhengjin Bank run finally caused a riot, and the two large iron gates, which looked extremely solid, were actually pushed by the angry crowd and collapsed. The bank was already empty, and the managers, employees, and ronins who kept order at the Bank of Japan were all gone, and it seemed that there was a secret passage under the bank, which was connected to other places.

Amid the slogan of "rush in", depositors rushed in and removed everything they could. The later depositors, who did not grab anything, had to vent their anger to their heart's content, destroying everything that could be smashed, and the whole process lasted a whole afternoon, and even affected the shops and taverns opened by the Japanese in Jinan. And the Anhui army, which was supposed to maintain order in the Jinan market, did not appear from beginning to end, and the soldiers raised by Duan Qirui did not appear, and they were also "making trouble" on this day
