Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan said: "That's what I mean by stumbling, first ruin their reputation, and then you come out to earn our reputation, understand?"

Fade Chen agreed, and Lin Yuan said, "I'm going back to Beijing right now, let me know if there's any situation." He found Shen Wanqing and said, "Give me the information on foreign banks collected these days. I'm going to Beijing to fight the final battle of this financial battle."

Shen Wanqing said, "Do you want me to follow you?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "In Beijing, there are agents from Zhang's Industrial Company and the personal guards led by Liu Yufeng. Their strength is not bad, and Wan Qing actually doesn't need to go." But he still said: "Well, let's go back together. "

Lin Yuan came to the train station and got on the train to Beijing. On the train, two messages were sent to Lin Yuan's communicator. Lin Yuan opened it and looked at it, and his face was full of anger. Shen Wanqing hurriedly asked: " what's going on?"

Lin Yuan said: "Our banks in Wuhan and Guangzhou had accidents, they were all seized, and all assets were confiscated!"

Shen Wanqing said in surprise: "What? Is there such a thing?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "Emperor Guangxu said to 'investigate' the affairs of the Northeast People's Bank. As for how to investigate, the people below have figured it out for themselves. Going in to see is 'investigating', and confiscating property is also 'investigating'!"

Shen Wanqing asked: "Then why did they seize the banks in Wuhan and Guangzhou? Who did it?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "The person who banned the Bank of Shanghai is Xu Yingku, he is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. I think Wuhan and Guangzhou should also be at the governor's level. Wuhan is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Huguang, and Guangzhou is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. .”

Shen Wanqing asked: "Then who are they?"

Lin Yuan said: "At this time, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is Tan Zhonglin. This person is not very famous in history, but the governor of Huguang is different. He is the famous Zhang Zhidong in history. Have you heard of it?"

Shen Wanqing nodded and said, "Who hasn't heard of Zhang Zhidong? It's all in the textbooks! But do they have any grudge against you?"

Lin Yuan said silently: "Do you still remember the matter of Zhang Xiaofeng, the magistrate of Fengtian, who was punished by me for taking money and breaking the law?"

Shen Wanqing said: "Of course I remember, didn't you use that incident as an excuse to replace all the officials in the three eastern provinces with people we trained? Future generations want to write history, and that incident cannot be avoided !"

Lin Yuan said: "Zhang Xiaofeng is a relative of Zhang Zhidong. At that time, Chen Qingyun persuaded me: 'Punishing Zhang Xiaofeng will offend Zhang Zhidong'. There has been no movement for such a long time. I didn't expect to run into him here."

Shen Wanqing asked: "What about Tan Zhonglin? He also has a grudge against you?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Xu Yingkui still has no grudges against me. Isn't it the same as bringing people into trouble with me? I think Yuan Shikai is behind it." Lin Yuan took out a picture of the whole country from his bag Pointing to the map, he said: "Look, there are now nine governors in the country according to regions. Among them, Fujian, Zhejiang, Huguang, and Guangdong have clearly stated that they are against me. Governor Liu Kunyi of Liangjiang, Governor Sun Yuwen of Zhili and I'm on good terms."

"The remaining three governors, Yang Changjun, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, Liu Bingzhang, governor of Sichuan, and Wei Guangtao, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, have no relationship with me, and their attitudes are unclear. So once I want to take over Beijing, maybe there will be a confrontation between the North and the South! So now We must find a way to win over these governors, and prevent them from being loyal to the Qing court when I take over Beijing."

Shen Wanqing nodded, and suddenly asked: "Didn't you say that there are nine governors? You only said eight."

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: "The other one is me, the governor of the three northeastern provinces."

Shen Wanqing smiled embarrassedly and said, "These are all things for the future, what should we do when we return to Beijing?"

Lin Yuan said: "The first thing to do when you return to Beijing is to investigate exactly how the Qing court made decisions? The news I know now is only a few words, not very complete, and there will be many deviations. Emperor Guangxu ordered to investigate what I created. The bank in question didn’t say hello to me. The connotation of this matter is too rich. Does he completely distrust me and want to attack me? We still need to find out before deciding what to do next.”

Shen Wanqing asked: "Then how do we go back and find out?"

Lin Yuan said: "Let's go to Guan'er first, she is the closest to the ruling core of the Qing court, and she should have obtained some top-level decision-making information; and the housekeeper Liu San, he is very familiar with people in Beijing and can inquire about a lot of market gossip From him, we can learn about the decision-making process in many ways; there is also Li Jingfang, the Qing government must let officials organize the bank, and he is familiar with those officials, so we can get a lot of information from him.”

In the evening, Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing returned to Beijing. They went home to find Guan'er, and went into Guan'er's room. Guan'er was still sleeping. The matter was urgent, so Shen Wanqing woke her up softly. When he saw them, he said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, brother, why are you back? Sit down quickly, and I will pour tea for you."

After Guan'er finished speaking, she put on her clothes and stood up. Shen Wanqing whispered in Lin Yuan's ear: "You see, Guan'er is getting more and more beautiful, especially her breasts. When I saw her, she only had a B cup. Now she must have d cup."

Lin Yuan chuckled, and whispered in her ear, "Then what cup do you have?"

Shen Wanqing blushed and said "I hate it", Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You don't have to tell me, I'll find out by myself after a while." Just as Shen Wanqing was about to hit him, Guan'er turned around, Holding two cups of tea, he asked, "Brother and sister-in-law must have something important to see me so late, right?"

Lin Yuan asked: "Do you know that the emperor wants to ban my bank?"

Guan'er nodded and said, "I've heard that, but the emperor didn't mean to ban it. What he meant was: investigate my brother's bank, and then let my brother's bank be merged into the Bank of Great Qing that is under construction!"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that my enemy is making his own decisions about what happened in Wuhan and Guangzhou." Lin Yuan then asked, "Then how much do you know about the Bank of Great Qing that is being established?"

Guan'er shook her head and said: "The emperor and the empress dowager don't usually talk about this matter, so I don't know about it, but I do know that a few days ago, the emperor held a banquet in the imperial garden and invited a few foreigners. Saying that they are all experts in the bank, entertaining people in the Imperial Garden, there has never been a precedent since the founding of the Qing Dynasty!"

Lin Yuan thought: "It seems that they attach great importance to the experts of these banks!" Lin Yuan asked again: "Then who are the experts of these banks closer to?"

Guan'er said: "Yuan Shikai! It turned out that these experts lived in the posthouse. Later, Yuan Shikai said that the posthouse was too dilapidated, so he took them to his residence. The emperor even rewarded Yuan Shikai for this matter!"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but said, "Yuan Shikai? It's him again!"

Guan'er said angrily: "That's right, he is necrotic, and he often fights against you, brother!"

Lin Yuan nodded and asked, "Do you know anything else?"

Guan'er shook her head aggrievedly, and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, Guan'er only knows so much." Seeing that she was about to cry, Lin Yuan hurriedly comforted her, coaxed her for a while, and the two finally came out.

Lin Yuan said: "Now I know that the Qing government is going to organize the Bank of Great Qing. When I was in Shanghai, I heard them say that foreign banks want to buy shares. I don't know if it is true. Let's ask Liu San now."
