"Master, you have to make the decision for us. Those gangsters have bullied us to the door. You have to take care of it!"

Meng Enyuan's manager cried and complained to him, and when Lao Meng saw his manager, he also frowned: "What is this smell on you?"

"Back to the old man, the villain made the bad guys throw rotten eggs. These damn students are not throwing me, but hitting you in the face. You must let the villain decide."

"Understood, get out of here, who can stand the smell of you." Gao Shibang pinched his nose and waved his hands to tell the manager to get out of here. He turned his head and said to Meng Enyuan: "Uncle, you always look , this group of students just push their noses on the face, shameless to the face, as long as you give an order, I will lead the people to kill and arrest them all."

"Shut up!" Meng Enyuan yelled abruptly: "If you hadn't caused me trouble, would such a thing have happened now? I still don't know how to restrain myself. You want my old life. You are not a relative. You are a deadly enemy."

With a snap, Meng Enyuan slapped the table hard, causing the teacups on it to slam into each other. It was obvious that the old man was extremely frightened and angry.

The current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to him. Students and businessmen parade every day, and the newspapers are full of reports. Now even the housekeeper has been thrown with rotten eggs. I am afraid that the family members of the handsome mansion will not dare to go out in the future.

Going on like this is simply a disgrace to the ground. How can he have the face to stay in Jilin? Gao Shijun shouted and shouted to kill. It's not that Meng Enyuan didn't think about it, but the current situation simply doesn't allow him to do so.

After walking around the ground a few times, he pointed at Gao Shibin's forehead and reprimanded loudly: "Be sober, those students can't threaten us yet, the most troublesome one is Zhang Zuolin from Fengtian, Duan Qirui from Beijing. And the ghost on the ground!"

Meng Enyuan has a lot of contacts in Beiyang. He has been notified that the patrol envoy Guo Zongxi has united some officials who are dissatisfied with him, and jointly signed a letter, listing a total of eight charges, including embezzling military pay, corrupting the law, conniving subordinates, and advocating the monarchy , Colluding with Japan and so on.There is a lot of evidence for each one.

Guo Zongxi directly asked Duan Qirui to withdraw Meng Enyuan and save the people in Jilin who were in dire straits. After the things were sent out, Lao Zhang also gave a speech in Fengtian.He accused Meng Enyuan of lax control and infringement of Fengtian's commercial interests.Request to remove the instigator Gao Shibin.At the same time, Meng Enyuan would like to apologize to the business circles of the two provinces, and at the same time promise that this kind of thing will never happen again.

Originally, with Meng Enyuan's contacts, he wouldn't care about these things, but now the situation is different. Although no one mentioned Japan, everyone knew about it.Meng Enyuan was inspired by Japan to act, so what is the relationship between Meng Enyuan and Japan is worth thinking about.

Not long ago, Fang Wendong raised the flag to rebel.It almost disrupted the entire Fengtian. Since then, the Beiyang government has been extremely disgusted with the collusion between local forces and great powers, especially Japan.If Japan uses Meng Enyuan again to instigate any actions, the degree of harm will definitely be higher than that of Fang Wendong.

Even if Duan Qirui knew that Meng Enyuan would not do this kind of thing, Duan Qirui could not condone this phenomenon. This is the difference in looking at problems in the central government. He must focus on the overall situation, otherwise other local powers will collude with the big powers , the whole country is in chaos.

It was precisely because of this that Duan Qirui also became dissatisfied with Meng Enyuan. In this way, all kinds of combined forces were superimposed, leaving Meng Enyuan at a loss, and he didn't know what to do.

"Uncle, Guo Zongxi dared to sue you for being black and white. I really don't want to live. I'm going to arrest him now and see if he dares to say anything nonsense."

"Guo Zongxi is nothing to worry about. He dared to stand out, and he was encouraged by Feng Zhang." Wu Tai'an also interjected from the side: "Marshal, the most important thing now is Feng Zhang and Lao Duan. Zhang Zuolin has force. Holding the righteous name, if they all want to let you step down, it will be troublesome."

Wu Tai'an said what Meng Enyuan was most worried about, that is, once Lao Duan gave Zhang Zuolin the sword of Shangfang, Lao Zhang would be able to take him down directly with the help of the powerful Fengjun, and there would be no room for maneuver at that time.

"Old Wu, what can you tell me?"

"Marshal, as the saying goes, one thing can be reduced to one thing, if you want to suppress the domineering Feng Zhang, you must have a stronger force."

"You mean the Japanese?" Meng Enyuan asked in a deep voice.

"That's right, we are helping the Japanese this time, and we have caused such a big trouble, shouldn't the Japanese be responsible? Shouldn't they help?"

Meng Enyuan nodded. The current situation is indeed very bad. The only ones who can save him are the Japanese.

"Wuru, what do the Japanese say, can they help?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Shibin showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and reluctantly said: "These little devils are too ruthless. I asked. That Lin Village said that the responsibility lies with us. If it weren't for my soldiers Let the motorcade and journalists go and the situation won't get out of hand, so they let us figure it out!"

"What?" Meng Enyuan immediately raised his brows, and burst into his forehead with anger. He grabbed the teacup on the table and fell to the ground with a bang. The teacup was smashed into pieces. "What a heartless Japanese devil. If it weren't for their extravagance, why would we have seized the convoy? As for what happened to this situation, something went wrong. Their grandsons ran away. This is killing donkeys!"

Meng Enyuan was still angry after scolding the Japanese, so he scolded Gao Shibin again.

"How about your usual arrogance, why don't you dare to use it against the Japanese? They let you do things, get into trouble, and pat your ass to let them go? I can see through you. You are just a coward. Why are people so clueless?"

Gao Shibin also knew that he was wrong, and now that he was being scolded, he didn't dare to speak back, so he could only listen with his head down.Wu Tai'an at the side saw that Meng Enyuan was almost cursing, and said: "Commander, I think to solve the trouble, we need to find the Japanese, otherwise no one can hold back Feng Zhang, let's go find them again."

Meng Enyuan thought about it carefully, and he had to admit that Wu Tai'an's method was the safest.As long as Zhang Zuolin can be suppressed, all the troubles will be gone, and those troublesome students can be solved in seconds, as for Guo Zongxi, it is no problem. Lao Meng has been operating in Jilin for such a long time, so he still has the confidence .

"Wuru, you've caused trouble, so you can solve it. Go find that Lin Cunzheng now. If it doesn't work, just contact Okura Kihachiro directly and let them stand up and speak for us."

Gao Shibin had no choice but to nod in agreement, and hurriedly left the commander's mansion. Meng Enyuan and Wu Tai'an could only wait quietly for the news.

In fact, this time the trend of defeating Meng can be so violent.It's not just Lao Zhang's instigation. After all, Zhang Zuolin was only the commander of the 27th Division half a year ago.It will not affect Jilin at all.

Meng Enyuan has been in Jilin for many years.But he is exactly the same as most Beiyang bureaucrats, they are all greedy, they don't know how to cherish the power of the people, and they don't know how to develop the economy. The Jilin he controls is the most fertile black soil area, and it is not a problem to feed tens of millions of people.As a result, three to four million people are still suffering from famine from time to time, which shows that Meng Enyuan's ability in civil administration is poor.

And it's not just that, Meng Enyuan also employs private individuals, as long as they are relatives.They can be reused. These guys don’t do business at all, they only know how to get cards everywhere and extort money. They are worse than those bureaucrats in the former Qing Dynasty.

As a result, people's livelihood was in decline, business was difficult, and Meng Enyuan made another fatal mistake, which was to issue banknotes excessively, causing financial collapse.

Zhang Zuolin's ability to secure Fengtian's throne and gain the respect of all parties is not due to Zhang's civil affairs measures. After all, some things will not be effective in a short time.The most popular thing is the stability of finance. Fengtian Bank is operating normally, and it can even hold down Japanese banks.

In the past, if you want to do business with other regions, you must first exchange currency. There is a big gap between Chinese and foreign currencies, silver dollars and banknotes, and the currency value is constantly fluctuating violently, which not only delays time, but also brings huge risks. , it is very likely that it is a profitable business, but because of the fluctuation of the currency value, it has suffered a loss.

Moreover, every exchange has to be exploited, and the merchants complained endlessly.Now the value of Bongpiao currency is stable and has been recognized by all parties. It can be used directly wherever you go, which greatly speeds up the flow of goods and reduces costs and risks.And when doing business with foreign businessmen, you can also avoid the exchange rate trap of foreigners, which has too many benefits.

Based on this, Lao Zhang can get the full support of Fengtian business circles. Now, with the improvement of Fengtian's economic strength, Fengtian has gone beyond the provincial boundaries. It is also an inevitable trend that good money drives out bad money.

The situation is very clear, that is, under Meng Enyuan's rule, the people are in dire straits, and the common people have endured to the extreme, and the only difference is a spark.This time Gao Shibin colluded with the Japanese and gave Jilin the best channel to vent, which is why such a huge momentum has been formed.

Not only students, but businessmen and citizens also participated. There were tens of thousands of parades in Jilin and Changchun. There was also a wave of anti-donation and tax resistance in the localities.

When Meng Enyuan was worrying, his nephew Gao Shibin finally ran back, and he said as soon as he entered the door: "Uncle, the Japanese gave a guarantee. They said that as long as you apologize to Fengtian and give some symbolic compensation, they will come forward." Hold your spot."

After hearing this, Meng Enyuan's eyes immediately widened. What kind of identity is he, can he apologize to Zhang Zuolin, a reckless guy? Isn't this a slap in the face!

"I don't agree. You tell the Japanese. If they don't help, I will tell the Japanese. In short, they are instigated. Let's see who is more afraid."

"Marshal, you can't be arrogant." Wu Tai'an hastily persuaded: "I think this condition is not bad. Giving Zhang Zuolin a step is also a step for us. If you keep going like this, it will have a great impact on your prestige. Already!"

Meng Enyuan managed to suppress his anger, but he kept thinking in his mind, Wu Tai'an's words were very pertinent, a man can bend and stretch, and after this crisis is over, he will find Zhang Zuolin to settle the score.

At this time, suddenly his subordinates ran over in a panic, came to Meng Enyuan, and said out of breath: "Marshal, things are not good, the gang of the chamber of commerce just announced that they would give up the auspicious ticket and switch to the tribute ticket." Settlement, they also said..."

"What did you say?" Meng Enyuan was already full of beards and hair when he asked this question. The currency of a province is the lifeline of a warlord. If he loses this power, how can he exploit the common people and pay the army? It hurt Meng Enyuan's lung tube, so he couldn't help but get angry.

The subordinates said tremblingly: "Marshal, they said that you are in cahoots with the Japanese and can no longer protect the interests of the businessmen, so before you deal with this incident, they will use tribute tickets instead, unless you can publicly apologize and punish Prime culprit."

"What a ruthless little Zhang, how dare you play this game for me. If I'm afraid of you, I won't be Meng!" Meng Enyuan turned his head and said to Gao Shibin: "Wu Ru, you immediately transfer troops, we will fight with you!" Bong Zhang fights!" (To be continued...)
