Chapter II: Investment
History seems to have returned to the original track, and the plan to push Zai Ze to the top was implemented very successfully, but after Qu Hongji was scooped by the photoshop, the Qingliu people launched Zhang Zhidong, at this time Zhang Zhidong was facing the saint in the capital, and assisted Sheng Xuanhuai to preside over the railway state-owned case. However, there was an accident again, Zhang Zhidong did not agree with some of Guangxu's ideas, and as soon as Zaifeng, who was in Guangxu's help, said "What are you afraid of, there are soldiers", he was disheartened and resigned from the matter of competing for the prime minister.
Since Zai Ze is in power normally, then he wants to expand the power of the Congress, but Zai Ze is also very shrewd, and he did not expand his power as soon as he came up, but first colluded with foreigners, made a four-country banking group, and launched a series of reform measures. The first is to establish political achievements and lay the foundation for the next office; The second is to borrow money from foreigners, which can not only please foreigners, but also carry foreigners to respect themselves. Under this routine, not to mention the railway, the currency reform will clean up those large and small money banks in the country, so that the power of the Daqing Bank will be expanded to the maximum. Now the steel printing equipment also imported from the United States has been installed in Beijing, and the new currency motherboard with Guangxu as the head is also being carved, waiting for the bill to pass the bill in Congress, and then start the currency reform. At this time, if the big and small money banks are trapped in the stock market and suffer huge losses, then there is nothing better for Zai Ze.
"If Zai Ze also buys the bankrupt bank, won't he steal business with us?" Yang Rui asked, but suddenly thought again, isn't Zai Ze's revival meeting? Manchu or not Han? What is there to grab or not to rob. He looked at Zhang Kun and laughed, and said, "Then let him grab it." The more you grab, the better, and now we have to wait for the movement on the American side. Xiaolin, are you ready in public opinion? ā
"Sir. We are all ready, as long as the United States introduces a policy to restrict rubber consumption, then under the sharp drop in rubber prices, we will not only publicize the opening of the rubber railway in South America, but also expose those shell stock companies located in Nanyang. When the time comes, everyone will see that they have been deceived and deceived, and they will sell the plate with all their might. Wang Xiaolin said. The role of public opinion is getting bigger and bigger, and the price of rubber stocks can be pulled so high. The Propaganda Department has made great contributions. Similarly, if you want to lower the stock price, you have to be public opinion.
Yang Rui nodded. asked Liu Boyuan again, "Yuanshi, the stock matter is estimated to be set back by a month, have you adjusted it over there?" ā
The stock crashed. The grass people entered Beijing. This is a previously arranged drama, and these two things must be one after the other. Originally, the plan was that the stock crash would be launched in August, and the grass people would enter Beijing in October when Congress had just opened, but there was no news from the United States, so it could only be postponed. Yang Rui was worried that the complaint would be too early, and Guangxu would find a support point, so Zai Ze would be in danger. Zai Ze is dangerous, and it is unknown whether the rubber stock market can be suppressed. Therefore, after the stock crash is postponed, then the grass farmers must also retreat. The two things must be opened enough in time, so that Zai Ze has time to suppress the stock market.
"Sir, it's all arranged. The National Assembly will not meet until the 11th lunar month, and the time is urgent. He glanced at Wang Xiaolin beside him, and said: "It's just that things have to be big in a short period of time, not big, Guangxu can't get the support of public opinion and other people, then I'm afraid it will not be able to close the parliament." I have already contacted many Prince Baylor, and once the people make trouble in Beijing, then they will take the opportunity to ask Guangxu to close the parliament and return to the government, which is the newspaper......"
As soon as Liu Boyuan said about the newspaper, Wang Xiaolin continued: "The newspaper has also been arranged, and a number of newspapers have been bought, and we have already started with the writers of the newspapers that cannot be bought, and their articles have been published in the newspapers. Then there is Sheng Xuanhuai, the gentry in Lianghu, Guangdong, Sichuan and other places who have already been offended by his railway state-owned case, as long as the case of embezzlement of the Hanyang Iron Works is thrown out at the appropriate time, then the Zaize cabinet will definitely collapse. The cabinet is elected by the Congress, and if the cabinet is not good, it means that the Congress is not good, and the only way to govern China is by the wise emperor, and when the time comes, we can concentrate our firepower to publicize this. ā
Wang Xiaolin said that it was a standard routine, anyway, it was to lead public opinion to the closure of the Congress, and Guangxu would definitely take the opportunity to do something. Xie Jintai didn't fully understand the details of the matter, and seeing that he was so sure, he only asked: "What if Guangxu withstood public opinion and was determined not to abolish the Congress?" ā
Seeing Yang Rui ask this question, Wang Xiaolin was speechless for a while, while Liu Boyuan next to him said: "Mr. Chong'an, according to Guangxu's temper, he will definitely want to abolish the Congress and work hard to govern himself." If he doesn't want to abolish Congress, there is a way, and that is to promote the road of reopening Congress. ā
"Reconvene Congress?" Xie Jintai asked again, obviously he didn't understand the backup plan.
"If the Congress cannot be abolished, then the Congress will definitely be able to block the mouth of the gentry, but as far as Guangxu and the Manchus are concerned, the Congress was originally unwilling to be opened by them, and the reason why it was opened at that time was because Guangxu's foothold was not stable at that time. Now that Guangxu has taken most of the governors of the country into his hands, and the military power is completely controlled, he will definitely not be able to help it if he has such a good opportunity to do it again this time.
Because of the rush of time in the first Congress, the Manchurians still left a lot of loopholes when they were designed, but after the actual operation of the past two years, the constitution of the National Assembly that was previously set was very clear to the Manchurians who were good and bad. When the second session of the Congress is convened, the elected members will find that their power is smaller than before, and the second Congress is estimated to be similar to the Russian Duma, only the right to build yƬ has no decision. If so, then our goal has been achieved. Liu Boyuan said.
The stock crash, the arrival of the victims in Beijing, the collapse of Zai Ze, and the reopening of the National Assembly are the major political events of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the coming year. When Xie Jintai only thought of this plan, Yang Rui explained to Zhang Kun and Wang Xiaolin again before letting them leave. At this time, only Yang Rui, Xie Jintai, and Liu Boyuan were left in the attic.
"Can you tell me about Sun Wen? What the hell is going on over there? Yang Rui asked. What happened next was obviously the Alliance's, and in order to cover the layout of the Revival Society, there are now civil unrest and riots across the country. There are also some false examples, which have the advantage that no one can see the intention of the revival, and the disadvantage is twofold. First, the law and order in various places is extremely poor, robberies and killings occur from time to time, and then Sun Wen, who is lurking in the United States, smells the smell and wants to learn that the revival society is generally king.
"It's not Sun Wen over there, it's just that the remnants of the party who launched the uprising in Guangxi and Yunnan before, now under the instigation of Hu Hanmin, have also found a place to develop a base area. They chose the 100,000 mountains of Qinzhou, where they have now taken root. Liu Boyuan said.
"Rooted?" Yang Rui thought it was funny, "Guangxi is located on the frontier. There are so many Qing patrol battalions, how can they let them take root? Their guns and ammunition are insufficient, can they beat the Qing soldiers? ā
Yang Rui's statement only made Liu Boyuan weird, and he said, "Sir." Have you forgotten about it? Now the entire South China army has been transferred to Zhejiang. A small half of the North Chinese soldiers were in Shandong. The 25th and 26th towns, as well as the Guangdong Mixed Association, have already left for Zhejiang, so the troops of the two Guangxi are extremely empty, but Guangzhou is an important town after all, so the patrol battalion of Guangxi has been transferred to Guangdong, so there are not many soldiers left in Guangxi. ā
"Oh, yes!" Yang Rui hadn't paid attention to the news of the Alliance and Sun Wen for a long time, and he had only thought about the revolution of the Fuxing Society. But I don't want to because of the revolution of the Revival Society, the League will also take a ride. He looked at Xie Jintai and said, "Brother Chong'an." I think it can be launched in Guangdong, what do you think? ā
Originally, Sun Wen was talking about 100,000 mountains, but now Yang Rui said about the uprising in Guangdong, Xie Jintai said inexplicably: "Qingyuan can be launched, but it can be done, you must not give Sun Wen any chance, he is his madman." Guangxi is located on the frontier, once he gets a foothold, then things will not be easy to do. ā
"Brother Chong'an is too worried. If the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed, it would not be the prefectures and counties to be occupied, but the provincial capitals, and whoever could occupy the provincial capitals first would be the lord of a province. The 100,000 mountains are suitable for raising troops, but it is too far away from the provincial capital Guilin, and once the time comes, as long as Guilin is occupied first, then this province will be ours. Even if Sun Wen's people settle in the 100,000 mountains. It's the Guangzhou side, last year the alliance wanted to launch an uprising in the new army in Guangzhou, and then the new army was transferred away, and now I don't know what kind of strategy they have, I guess they will plan to raise things in Guangzhou before they are willing. Yang Rui said. He thought about the Xinhai Uprising countless times, and found that the Xinhai Revolution was actually the revolution in the provincial capital. The matter was caused in Sichuan, but the place of the first righteousness was Wuchang, and the root cause was that Sichuan did not occupy the provincial capital, and could not be telegraphed to the whole country to say "Sichuan independence".
Xie Jintai saw that what Yang Rui said was reasonable, and after agreeing, he heard that the alliance was going to make a move in Guangzhou, and said in surprise: "Didn't they make a fuss last year, why didn't they give up?" ā
Yang Rui said that the alliance would hold events in Guangzhou, because there was Huanghuagang in history, and there was similar news from the Military Intelligence Bureau. Liu Boyuan saw that both of them mentioned Guangzhou, so he continued: "In early May, Miyazaki Inzo and Kodama Youji went to Hong Kong to meet Huang Xing. This Kodama right-in-one has something to do with Terauchi Masatake, and now there is no progress in Japan's negotiations with the Manchus in the Northeast, and our lion opened his mouth to scare the Japanese, so they had to go to the League to find a way, and this is probably to investigate the strength of the Alliance, but there is no follow-up to this matter. ā
Liu Boyuan said some secondary information, he was not familiar with Xie Jintai, and he was often used to hearing Yang Rui alone, just said some things that were not very important, Yang Rui saw this and said: "If you have anything, you can say it, Mr. Chong'an and Sun Wen are old enemies, don't be afraid that your little tricks will be laughed at by him." ā
As soon as Yang Rui said that Xie Jintai was Sun Wen's old enemy, Xie Jintai just laughed and said with a smile: "Yes, I have known Sun Wen for more than ten years, and those who have grievances and grievances can be regarded as old enemies." ā
When Liu Boyuan saw Yang Rui say this, he said: "Now there seems to be a split within the alliance. In June, Sun Wen returned to Yokohama from the United States and met with the members of the League, and Song Jiaoren and Tan Renfeng, members of the two lakes, had a dispute with Sun Wen. There are also members of Sichuan nationality in the two lakes. The move should not be carried out in Liangguang and Guangzhou, but should be launched in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, but Sun Wen still thinks that it should be launched in Liangguang and other places. The two sides argued, and finally Sun Wen was annoyed, stopped arguing with them, and went to Nanyang alone. After he was denied entry to various places in Nanyang, he had to go to Penang, Singapore, and sent Huang Xing, Hu Zhantang and others to Yangon, Myanmar. ā
Yang Rui listened to the dispute between Sun Wen and Song Jiaoren, and was not surprised, these two people were not the same number in the first place, but he heard that Sun Wen actually sent Huang Xing to Myanmar. "What are they going to Yangon for, collecting donations?" ā
"No, sir. They probably wanted to enter Yunnan from Burma. Contact Lu Zhiyi and want to contact the Yunnan army to raise righteousness. But things were difficult to do, and they returned to Penang. Liu Boyuan said,
"In other words, all these people are gathered in Penang?" Xie Jintai asked.
"Yes. Mr. Chong'an. It seems that the Canton uprising is being plotted, but the specific plan has not yet come out. Although there are patrol battalions transferred from Guangxi in Guangdong, many of these patrol battalions are party members. If it is a matter of time. There's still a good chance they'll succeed. Liu Boyuan said.
After Liu Boyuan finished talking about the situation, Yang Rui said again, "Now Guangzhou City is empty of air defense. Only Li Zhun's sailor battalions can be of some use, and the foreign patrol battalions even have to be guarded. I now think, if it is launched in Qingyuan, I wonder if Guangzhou will be even more empty? But Qingyuan's side still has to be launched. Otherwise, it is impossible to recruit soldiers. I didn't have time to train the troops, so I wondered if the League could delay the troops? If they want to raise something and are short of money, then let people send them money, and if 100,000 is not enough, they will send 200,000, anyway, this amount must be satisfactory to them, but the deadline for this money must be delivered after the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, so that they can be dragged until after we do it. Brother Chong'an. What do you think? ā
Hearing Yang Rui say that he wanted to delay the army, Xie Zhangtai sighed: "You are still too kind-hearted!" I think the best way is to unite with this Li Zhun to eliminate the alliance this time. In this way, the alliance will no longer have a backbone. If you want to make trouble in the future, you can't, otherwise, then these people are afraid that they will make trouble on our heads in the future. ā
Yang Rui was said to be a weakness by Xie Zhangtai, so he had to laugh. The seventy-two martyrs of Huanghuagang he has a deep memory since he was a child, and he also learned it when he was in middle school with his wife, and the language teacher only read it to tears, if he really wants Li Zhun to set up an ambush, and then kill these people, then he still can't bear it, after all, these people have been alive and well known and felt by him in later generations. Yang Rui only raised his head after laughing and said, "Brother Chong'an, do you mean to take advantage of the alliance meeting to make their backbones die?" ā
"Hmm. Must be dead! Xie Jintai said with certainty, "Sun Wen is a person who has wind and rain, and milk is a mother, and he has no position and principle at all." Even if the League is caught in the strategy of delaying the army and is dragged by us until after the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, he will definitely be unwilling to see that we occupy the whole of China. When the time comes, once they accept foreign aid, it will be a harm to the country. Now taking advantage of the alliance to raise an incident in Guangzhou and destroy its henchmen is the root cause. ā
"Good! Then listen to Brother Chong'an. Yuanshi, your side is closely following the plan of the Alliance, and if there is any news, you will inform Li Zhun there. How many alliances will enter Guangzhou, then how many people will die for them! Yang Rui said very loudly, there was only something strange in his voice.
Liu Boyuan heard the words and left, and Xie Zhangtai also felt that Yang Rui was a little unbearable, but he couldn't say anything, so he just quit first.
As soon as everyone left, the attic was empty again for a while, Yang Rui lit a cigarette, and only stared at the scenery outside the window in a daze. He hadn't been out for more than half a year, and last year he was thinking about setting up a general headquarters, but there was no good place to go after thinking about it, and in the end Mu Xiangyao came up with an idea, through the relationship of the church, and took over the current small and dilapidated church, completely renovated it, and then moved in. Now the people of Tekko have pretended to be in the church and become pastors, while the personnel of various departments in the headquarters are believers and come here to pray very sincerely, and Yang Rui's office is located in the attic of the church. Under such a disguise, no one could have imagined that this humble church would be the headquarters of the Revival.
When Yang Rui was only thinking nonsense, the sound of going upstairs sounded, and Chen Guangshou said outside: "Sir, my wife is here." ā
As soon as he said that Cheng Ying was coming, Yang Rui snuffed out the remaining cigarette butts, then wiped his face with a wet towel, and rinsed a few sips of tea, feeling that the smell of smoke on his body was not heavy, so he walked over quickly. Half eagerly and half reproached: "Didn't you let you be at home, why did you come here again?" I'm not afraid of falling. ā
Cheng Ying was six months pregnant at this time, her big belly was scary, and she slipped and fell before, but fortunately she was fine. Yang Rui told her not to run around, but she didn't want to come here today.
"Why, can't I come to church and pray for the safety of my child?" Cheng Ying said with a smile, now she is no longer young, the corners of her eyes, eyebrows and mouth have a mature charm, and her figure is restored after the child is born, I am afraid that she will have more flavor than before.
"You ......" Yang Rui was speechless, and now this woman is relying on the child in her belly. It's getting more and more coquettish. In fact, Yang Rui blamed her not because of confidentiality, but because he was worried about her own safety. "You should have been sent to Hawaii a long time ago."
"You dare!" Cheng Ying feigned anger and said: "If you dare to send me out of the country, then I will let your son become an American citizen." When the time comes, I'll raise you a banana man. ā
Cheng Ying entered the attic, and Chen Guangshou retreated under Yang Rui's eyes. waited until there was no one, Yang Rui hugged the woman over, and said softly: "What's the matter, it's too boring to stay at home?" ā
"It's not!" Cheng Jing said. "Sister Ying sent me a letter." As soon as Cheng Ying said Sister Ying, Yang Rui's heart jumped, and he only heard her say again: "She asks me for money now." Can I give it to her? ā
After Cheng Ying admitted that he had remitted money to Fang Junying before, the topic of the alliance between Yang Rui and her was no longer taboo. But Yang Rui only negotiated with her, and did not want to ease the relationship with the Alliance or support the Alliance. Today, Cheng Yinglai Yang Rui only thought that she was thinking about herself. Who knows if Fang Junying is still making trouble for a long time. He said angrily: "That's what you're doing today?" ā
"I...," Cheng Ying said, "You haven't been home for a few days, I just want to come and see you, and then talk about this matter by the way." You say yes or no. If you don't agree, I'll sue her for no money. ā
The woman successfully shifted the purpose of coming here to the matter of agreeing or not, Yang Rui recalled the conversation with Xie Jintai just now, and wanted to agree to Cheng Ying to send money, so that the alliance would have the money to launch the Guangzhou uprising, and in the end it was all gone. But if you think of letting a pregnant woman do such an unconscionable thing, her son won't be born without an asshole!
When Yang Rui was in chaos in Shanghai, everyone from the Alliance in Penang, Singapore gathered together. Hu Hanmin is reporting to everyone on the financial situation of the League.
"Mr. Chungsan, comrades. The amount we poured into the stock market last year has now tripled. One share has risen from the original two hundred taels to the current six hundred and eighty taels. The previous investment of more than 13,000 yuan has now become 44,600 yuan. Now the momentum of the stock is still rising, it can be expected that by the end of the year, when the Guangzhou event is raised, the stock will probably rise to more than 90,000 yuan, and when the time comes, the stock will be sold out, and there will be no problem with the funds for the event! Hu Hanmin's loud voice only surprised and rejoiced at the same time when the room full of money was worried.
Huang Xing said eagerly and excitedly: "There are 90,000 yuan here, so as long as another 10,000 yuan is raised, there will be a huge sum of 100,000 yuan!" ā
"That's right! As long as another 10,000 yuan is raised, there will be a huge sum of 100,000 yuan. Li Zhongzhong, Wang Zhaoming, and Deng Zeru next to him said the same, while Fang Junying on the side smiled and said nothing.
The alliance has failed many times, not to mention the bottom of the party, even Huang Xing and other backbones are also disheartened, when it comes to raising funds, Huang Xing is even more complaining, but Sun Wen still has a backhand. In the past, Cheng Ying only used part of the money that Cheng Ying remitted to Fang Junying, and some of the soldiers of the Righteous Army did not want to follow the revolution of the League anymore, but only wanted to have a livelihood, so they all wanted to stay in the mining area in order to earn money to live, so that Fang Junying still had more than 9,000 yuan left in his hands. This money, combined with the remaining money from the failure of the Chaozhou incident, was all invested in the rubber stock market last year under the guidance of a mysterious person, and finally doubled to nearly 50,000 yuan. Now that the morale of the alliance is low, Sun Wen had no choice but to announce this matter in advance, and sure enough, everyone heard the rumors and their confidence was greatly increased.
"Mr. Zhongshan, can you raise some more money to buy stocks, and there will be more funds for raising funds at that time?" Wang Zhaoming said that he is now on good terms with a rich woman, so he wants the woman to take out the money and invest it in the stock market.
"Yes!" Sun Wen said, "But you can't invest indiscriminately, now the stock matter is in charge of Hermes-Epitek and Runru (Fang Junying), you don't rashly invest money in the stock market, there is no exact news that it will be discounted." ā
As soon as Sun Wen said the folded book, everyone laughed, and the room was suddenly filled with a happy air. It's just that everyone laughed, Sun Wen, Hu Hanmin and Fang Junying knew in their hearts that the news in Shanghai yesterday said that the stock must be sold short in these few days, otherwise there will be a danger of annihilation. More than 10,000 yuan becomes more than 40,000 yuan, which can only be collected by how many roads and donations can be raised. Now there are more than 44,000 yuan, and there are still more than 50,000 yuan short of the 100,000 yuan to be used for the event. (To be continued......)
