Turning the gaze to Shanghai ().

In Zhang Yuan, a famous public concession, Yang Qiu changed into a suit, tied a coffee tie according to the way of later generations, and stood quietly in the corner of the banquet hall with a cup of boiled water, thinking about how to get the maximum benefit for himself, but he didn't know that a big net led by the young "ji" faction of the Hui Party was attacking him, and he also didn't know how much wind this incident caused later, and how many people's fate and future were affected.]

In addition to businessmen from all walks of life in Shanghai, representatives of the north-south peace talks and representatives of the gentry from Jiangsu and Zhejiang also came. The crisp clanging sound of the glass hitting the glass is endless, celebrities, beauties, "jiāo" and "flowers", and demons "yàn" are clustered around the high rollers, red wine, cigars, Russian caviar, and the sound of the gramophone, if you don't know the details, you may think that this is a ball held by some European noble.

With the exception of sporadic jiāo-fires in Anhui and Suzhou, large-scale military operations between the north and the south have been temporarily suspended, and the whole of China has been shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Yuan Shikai pursued and attacked the revolutionary forces in the north. The three provinces in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, especially the national defense forces in Sichuan and Hunan, have begun to attack the powerful forces against "sex", while the lower reaches of the Yangtze River have been singing and dancing and calming down in the celebration of victory.

"Doesn't Chenhua drink? This is rare. Yang Du slowly leaned over and looked at the boiled water in Yang Qiu's hand curiously.

Yang Qiu's height is different from ordinary people in this era, tall and extraordinary, standing in the banquet hall is very eye-catching, Yang Du is also a dashing person, a heroic and elegant came together, and immediately attracted a lot of attention, both speculation and jealousy, but also panic and uneasiness. For these gazes, Yang Qiu took the initiative to filter, looked at the pair of rotating male 'NV' in the beat, and asked coldly, "Brother Zi, what do you say our revolution is for?" ”

Yang Du smiled and said, "Don't hide it, Chenhua Du also had a 'jiāo' with them when he was in Japan, but unfortunately I don't like that flashy style, the revolution is worthy of appreciation, but governing the country can't just rely on a bloody heart, without connections and foundations, rushing to achieve results will only make more and more trouble." Wuchang and Sichuan, do you still use these words? Good birds choose trees and rest is the right way.

Yang Qiu heard that he was giving a signboard to the Beiyang Tree, and said with a smile: "Brother Zi doesn't want to be a lobbyist for Lord Gongbao, right?" Although Yang doesn't like this kind of drinking party, he is also unwilling to be in the company of the people who protect the Qing room. ”

Probably because he had learned the way of the emperor too deeply, Yang Du was not very accustomed to his straightforward words, and said, "Chen Hua doesn't know anything, and the palace guard also has his own difficulties." After hundreds of years of clearing the house, the big roots of the tree are deep and intertwined, how can it be uprooted at once? This will take time, not to mention that Gong Bao also said that he supports the republic, and he also facilitated the Qing family to agree to this peace talks. ”

"How long will it take?" Yang Qiu asked unceremoniously, "If the Qing family does not abdicate for a few years, will we have to wait a few more years?" ”

"How so?" Yang Du snorted, but in fact, he was also a little dissatisfied with Yuan Shikai's delay in making a move. He knew best that he didn't want to bear the infamy of the 'luàn' minister and thief, so he deliberately dragged it out, which made his work much more difficult. Shumi group 2 said, "Chenhua rest assured, the palace guard has promised that the son will comfort the Qing room to abdicate as soon as possible." ”

Originally, Yang Du wanted to say more, but when he saw Chen Qimei and a young man coming over, he said with a smile, "It seems that Chenhua will be very busy tonight, and I will leave for the time being, I just hope that after the abdication of the Qing family, I will not have to fight again." ”

"Please also ask my brother to tell the palace guard for me, Yang can wait, but the soldiers can't wait." After Yang Qiu dropped a sentence, he greeted Chen Qimei and Chen Guofu, and after seeing him, Chen Qimei deliberately glanced behind him and said with a smile, "Chen Hua doesn't blame me for coming abruptly and interrupting you, right?" ”

"What did Governor Chen say, this Yang Du is not right-minded, and he is bent on supporting Yuan Shikai as the president, how can I do what he wants?"

"Chenhua still call me Ince, Du Duyi." Chen Qimei pouted: "It's an angry job, I knew that it was better to let Brother Shuping do it." ”

Yang Qiu sneered in his heart, Li Shuping was made to be a fool by you, who are you still selling here for? But he didn't dare to underestimate Chen Qimei, this person seems to be remembered by history only for eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling and the bayberry sores that everyone recited, but in fact he is Sun Wen's die-hard loyalist ()! Don't look at the fame of Huang Keqiang and Song Jiaoren, and in terms of his contribution to the Kuomintang, he should be ranked first. Looking at the people who came out of his subordinates in history, Jiang Zhiqing, Chen Guofu, Chen Lifu, Dai Jitao, and Huang Yingyi were all the core forces of the later Kuomintang! So secretly recalled the information of the real face behind the glasses, and said, "Governor Chen laughed, although Yang is from Hubei, he grew up in Shanghai since he was a child, and today he came back to see a prosperous faction, which shows the work of the governor." ”

Chen Qimei was scratched to the itch, the back of her glasses flashed again and again, and she patted Chen Guofu with a smile, "Chenhua, Guofu didn't add 'luàn' to you, right?" This kid is born "sexually" stupid, you are attentive, knock and knock more. ”

Although the two are uncles and nephews, Yang Qiu's vision will not be so worldly, Chen Guofu is still very capable, and said with a smile, "Guofu is good, but I'm afraid that the army is not suitable for him, so I plan to let him train in the secretariat for two years first, and in the future, he can help me manage the three provinces well." ”

"That's great! Hey, I'm just these two nephews, Chenhua has a lot of support, and if you don't do well, you don't have to give me face. When Chen Qimei said about these two nephews, he could see that he was still sincere, in fact, if it wasn't for Chen Guofu and Yang Qiu, he even wanted to recommend them directly to Sun Wen.

Chen Guofu thanked Yang Qiuhou, knowing that the two had something to talk about, so they avoided some, Chen Qimei said, "There is something I have always wanted to ask Chenhua, and now everyone is recommending Yuan Shikai as the president, why does Chenhua always have to go against it?" ”

Yang Qiu's eyes rolled, and he deliberately sneered, "Everyone also recommended Tang Shouqian and Cheng Dequan to be the governors of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, constitutionalists!" In their bones, they are just some people who wash the feet of the full Tartars, and taking the opportunity to seize power can be regarded as singing the right tune? The revolution was originally to overthrow the old system, Yuan Shikai and Beiyang did not communicate with the revolution, why should they be in a high position? ”

Chen Qimei originally just wanted to hear why he supported Sun Wen so much, but he didn't expect to lead to such a thrilling remark, suppressed his mind and said, "It's not good for Chen Hua to say this, Li Du is also a constitutionalist, Tang Hualong and Tan Yan are both constitutional, haven't they contributed to the revolution?" ”

"It's not right for Chen Du to say that. When was Lai Tu a constitutionalist? Tan Du began to accept revolutionary ideas a few years ago, although Minister Tang was the chairman of the Consultative Bureau, but his younger brother Tang Qianming stood on the revolutionary standpoint, but it was on the side of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The royalist mentality is deeply ingrained, I really don't know how you were "nong" at that time. ”

The uprising in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was basically facilitated by Chen Qimei, but when he heard the complaints, he didn't feel harsh but was very happy, and deliberately sighed and said, "Chenhua didn't know, at that time, everyone just wanted to stabilize Jiangsu and Zhejiang as soon as possible and relieve the pressure on your Hubei. Ay! ”

Seeing that he was a little baited, Yang Qiu continued to fan the storm and said, "Governor Chen, you don't have to blame yourself, this matter is not impossible to change." Mr. Sun is coming back soon, can you suggest that he transfer the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the central government, and then reappoint the candidates. ”

"How can it be so simple, Tang Shou is quite famous in Zhejiang, even if he leaves, I am afraid that the upper position is still the constitutional."

"Therefore, the important ministers should be sent! By the way, remember that Chen Du is from Zhejiang, why don't you try it? With your qualifications as the governor of Zhejiang, I'm afraid no one dares to gossip, right? Yang Qiu deliberately said what he thought, but immediately changed the conversation, "This is not good!" Shanghai can't do without Chen Du, and it's not Yang who said big things Yesterday I visited the Shanghai army, and the morale is good, but the weapons and equipment are too poor, why not change it? Isn't there a Gaochang Temple? ”

Chen Qimei was most annoyed by Gaochang Temple, don't look at a large arms factory nearby, and it is also the best cannon factory in China, but after he became the governor, he realized that in fact, if you want to make Gaochang Temple operate, you have to invest at least several million every year! Moreover, even if it is invested, it is very troublesome, because all the raw materials need to be imported, so it is not as cost-effective as buying the things that are made. waved his hand with a bitter face and said, "Don't talk about Gaochang Temple, I have a headache when I talk about it." ”

With Hanyang in front of him, Yang Qiu knew very well how troublesome it was to maintain a large-scale shipbuilding and military industrial enterprise when all raw materials were purchased from outside, and said, "Chen Du's difficulties, I also know that the Hanyang factory is also difficult, but why don't you find foreigners to buy it?" Tens of thousands of guns can still be bought, right? ”

"How can I have Chenhua and the ability. Now the foreigners are holding the face, and I have offered assistance like the ministers of several countries, but the people do not let go, and they can get some "nong" by taking "si", but now a gun of the soldier "luàn" actually fired the price of a hundred oceans ()! The bullet has tripled! I'm afraid that our Shanghai army will not be blessed. Chen Qimei sighed and envied Yang Qiu, and learned from Chen Guofu that Yang Qiuguang was equipped with two divisions of new German rifles, and the remaining three divisions and two brigades were all made in Hanyang. And his side is difficult everywhere, don't look at Shanghai's annual tax payment in the late Qing Dynasty, but Shanghai's money is all managed by foreigners, and he is now also a poor governor, if it is not maintained by gang forces, it is difficult to even maintain the operation of the government.

"Humph! These foreigners are simply taking advantage of the fire to rob! Yang Qiu deliberately snorted coldly, and said righteously, "Governor Chen doesn't have to be embarrassed, Yang doesn't say anything else, there are still some guns, and I will order someone to send you a telegram to send you five thousand Hanyang first." ”

"Five thousand Hanyang-made?" Chen Qimei was a little puzzled by this young man. Guns, Hubei definitely has. Chen Guofu said that there were nearly 50,000 in Chuwangtai before, more than 10,000 were seized in the fourth town of Beiyang, and the eight towns also had one gun per person, not to mention that he also controlled the two provinces of Hunan and Sichuan, plus the reserves of the Hanyang factory and the new rifles of Deyu, at least 100,000! This is also the main reason why the party is afraid of him, in terms of equipment, the current national defense force is second only to Beiyang, but why should he support himself?

Seeing the suspicious gaze cast at him, Yang Qiu saw that the time was ripe and immediately said, "Don't hide it from Chen Du, my brother has always wanted a shipyard, high school." ”

Before Yang Qiu finished speaking, Chen Qimei's face changed, I didn't expect this guy to actually hit the idea of Gaochang Temple! Wanyan refused: "I didn't expect Chenhua to know how to build ships, I heard that Fujian is good." ”

"Hehe, Governor Chen, you might as well listen to me finish speaking." Yang Qiu knew that he would refuse, and offered a price, "Gaochang Temple maintenance needs millions every year, right?" Can Shanghai be turned around? If you can't turn it, won't you spend so many machines and workers in vain? Workers don't stick to one place, and if they are recruited by others, what can an empty factory do? What's more, Yang is not in vain, I bear all the operating costs of millions of dollars every year, and although Chen Du buys all the arms produced every month, I only need to build ships! 5,000 Hanyang-made can also be paid immediately! In addition to one. "Deliberately prolonged the voice and added the last weight" After the establishment of the new deal, Yang will support Governor Chen as the patrol envoy of Zhejiang and Shanghai, and truly let the upstream and downstream join hands to build a great cause! ”

"Really?" After Chen Qimei blurted out, she realized that she had lost her temper in front of a 22-year-old young man, but these conditions were too "you" people (). Don't say anything else, just supporting him as the governor of Zhejiang is "you" people! If others don't know, will he still not know? Don't look at the party's internal constant demands for moderation Yang Qiu, but if he really wants to fart, he doesn't dare to object, this time the three provinces patrol envoy didn't agree to such a big thing? If he supports himself as the governor of Zhejiang, and then lobbied Sun Wen to kill that annoying Tao Chengzhang, who would dare to object?!

With 5,000 Hanyang paintings, it is completely possible to form another Shanghai military division! What's more, it is impossible for Gaochang Temple to run away, Yang Qiu's foundation is upstream, and after selling it to him, isn't Shanghai itself in charge? can still earn a few years of operating expenses in vain, and when the overall situation is stabilized, what can he do when he is nationalized? !

Yang Qiu looked at him silently and silently calculated, and secretly sneered in his heart. Wang Zhengting, who had been waiting at the entrance of 'Mén' for a long time, saw the two of them stop and immediately walked over, originally wanting to quietly attach his ears, but was stopped by Yang Qiu, "Let's say, Chen Du is not an outsider." ”

Wang Zhengting's voice was a little 'ji', "Commander, just now Mr. Wenjue asked me to tell you that Duke Ke and Mr. Song are already on their way to Shanghai, and they promised to recommend you as the patrol envoy of the three provinces as soon as Mr. Sun arrives the day after tomorrow."

However, they also said that they hoped that we would send 'Jing' sharp troops to Nanjing to cooperate with the Northern Expedition, and they also named the "chou" from the 1st Division. ”

Yang Qiu frowned, the party members have long been accustomed to compromise, it is not a problem at all to have a gun and someone to serve as a patrol envoy, if you don't want to leave a tongue for others, even if you are self-reliant, who would dare to oppose it? It's just that in that case, there will be trouble in managing it in the future, and now there is a big hat appointed by the central government, and if anyone in the three provinces dares to jump out, he can clean him up justifiably! If it weren't for this, how could he be willing to look at the faces of the party. As for sending troops, it is not surprising, but it is strange why the name is to be transferred from the first division? Who doesn't know now that the first and second divisions are the trump cards in their hands, what are the ideas?

Chen Qimei had already gotten the news, so she secretly looked at Yang Qiu and waited for him to reply.

"Send a telegram to Chief of Staff Song, ordering the first division and one brigade to go south to cooperate with the Northern Expedition, and the vanguard must arrive in Nanjing within three days!" After Yang Qiu finished giving the order, he turned to Chen Qimei, "Governor Chen, do you want them to bring 5,000 guns to Shanghai by the way?" ”6392045
