Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

Page 212

Shen Hao thought for a moment and said, "Then why didn't you go to your father-in-law to explain the situation?"

In Shen Hao's opinion, such a small matter could be resolved by Jin Quan just saying a word.

Wang Yufen's eyes turned red as she said, "I looked for it, and my father-in-law also sent people, but unfortunately there was no effect.

So...so I can only look for my sister...Commander Shen."

Obviously, Wang Yufen was really at a loss.

Her father-in-law, Jin Quan, was the chief minister of a country, but he was a civilian official with few soldiers and couldn't even mobilize them.

I couldn't help her with anything, so I could only ask Shen Hao for help.

After thinking about it, I felt that what Wang Yufen said was true. Although Jin Quan was the general manager, many people under him ignored him.

Yuan Datou let the leader of the Progressive Party, Jin Quan, form a cabinet. Although he was the head of a village, his management scope was limited to insignificant positions in the cabinet such as education, judiciary, industry and commerce.

He doesn't even have the power to transfer police officers, which is much less powerful than the previous chief justice Cho Bing-jun.

Everyone knows that the Jinquan is just a transitional product, which Yuan Datou showed to outsiders.

No one cares about his orders.

Thinking about the pros and cons, Shen Hao didn't say anything.

This made Wang Yufen and Bai Xiuzhu very anxious.

Because, every minute of delay, Wanfa’s manager might slip away.

Bai Xiuzhu hugged Shen Hao's arm, pouted and said coquettishly: "Brother Hao, please, please help my cousin. I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future."

This made Shen Hao laugh.

"You said it, I can do whatever I want. I'm giving you a heads up. I'm a bad guy," Shen Hao said jokingly.

"Humph, I always keep my word.

How bad can you be? I am not afraid of you."

Speaking of this, Bai Xiuzhu's cheeks turned slightly red.

Deep down, she still hoped that Shen Hao could be a little worse.

Shen Hao restrained his expression and said calmly: "Since the company your cousin invested in is in Tianjin, we have to find the local boss in Tianjin."

"Who should I look for then?" Bai Xiuzhu asked in confusion;

Regardless of whether it is Jin Quan or Bai Xiongqi, both of them are from the civil service system. In peacetime, they are at the peak of power, but in this era of warlord division, the status of civil servants is just that.

If I give you face, you are the prime minister; if I don’t give you face, you are nothing.

Both of them were promoted by Yuan Shikai and have no foundation in the military.

This is also the reason why they want to form an alliance with Shen Hao.

Without the support of the army, any rights are just empty talk.

Shen Hao smiled and said, "Of course I'll find Feng Guozhang. Although he is now the governor of Jiangsu, he was previously the governor of Zhili. The police in Tianjin are under his jurisdiction, so it's not wrong to find him.

And he is also from Xiaozhan Town."

After hearing what Shen Hao said, Bai Xiuzhu and Wang Yufen calmed down.

For some reason, Shen Hao seemed to have a kind of magical power that made people convinced.

Xiaozhan can be said to be the most powerful place during the Beiyang period.

It is located in Nankai District, Tianjin, between Dagu Haiphong and Tianjin City, and adjacent to the Bohai Sea.

In the early years of the Republic of China, except for Li Yuanhong and Zhang Zuolin, who did not stand out from childhood.

Others including the president, prime minister, minister and many military generals all came from the Xiaozhan training ground, which formed the "Beiyang faction" headed by Yuan Shikai at the time.

Because there are no troops in Tianjin, only police.

In 1901, the late Qing government, which had just signed the Boxer Protocol, was embarrassed to find that according to the treaty, no troops could be stationed within miles of Tianjin City.

If this continues, Tianjin, as an important gateway to the capital, will undoubtedly lose its ability to defend the capital.

This difficult problem was thrown to Yuan Shikai, who was training new troops for the Qing government.

Yuan Shikai selected 3000 new soldiers and handed them over to his capable subordinate Zhao Bingjun for three months of short-term police training.

Just like the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, there can be police without the army.

In 1901, Yuan Shikai entrusted Zhao Bingjun with the important task of establishing a patrol police force. At the beginning of the following year, he appointed him as the general manager of the Baoding Patrol Police Bureau.

He led the new army to reorganize into 1500 patrol police stationed in Tianjin.

On the one hand, the patrol police took on the task of military alert, and on the other hand, they began to be responsible for public affairs such as "patrol police, fire protection, household registration, construction, and sanitation throughout the province."

Within half a year, Tianjin went from being in chaos to having the best social security among all the provinces in the country. "There were no thieves for six months, 370 months, which even Westerners were impressed by."

The establishment of the first patrol police led to Tianjin being described by foreigners as "the city with the best police system in the world."

The success of the Tianjin Patrol Police Bureau gave Yuan Datou greater confidence in promoting patrol police.

The "Beiyang Police System" during the "New Deal" period was famous throughout the country.

In view of this, Cixi issued an edict requiring all parts of the country to follow suit and gradually promote the police system.

Since he had decided to find Feng Guozhang, Shen Hao didn't waste any more words.

Call directly.

When Feng Guozhang heard Shen Hao's request, he agreed without saying a word.

"Don't worry, Brother Shen, I'll take care of this."

After hanging up the phone, Feng Guozhang immediately ordered martial law at all intersections in Tianjin and Hebei.

At the same time, he called his old classmate, the Chief of the Navy, and asked him to conduct a strict inspection of the ships passing through Tianjin in the past few days.

Not only that, they also called the Railway Bureau and started to conduct a strict investigation of Wanfa’s manager in various places from Tianjin.

Soon, the entire Tianjin, Hebei and Beijing cities were under martial law.

All intersections and port railway stations are undergoing strict inspections.

Such a large scale event quickly attracted the attention of many people.

Manager Wanfa also received the news and gave up the idea of escaping.

Damn, is it necessary to make such a big fuss just to cheat you out of some money?

Does the third young lady of the Jin family have such great power?

At the sea, on the railways, and at every intersection in Hebei, damn, he's really crazy.

So, it took only two hours to find Wanfa’s manager near Qinhuangdao.

It would be more accurate to say that this guy reported himself rather than finding him.

He knew that he had offended a big shot and he could not escape anywhere in the country. The later he was found, the more miserable his death would be.

When Bai Xiuzhu heard the news on the phone that Wanfa’s manager had been found, she jumped up with joy and kissed Shen Hao hard.

Wang Yufen, who was standing by, also cried with joy and hugged Bai Xiuzhu tightly.

Shen Hao said: "Calm down, the manager of Wanfa will be here in an hour, and then you can think about how to deal with him."

Wang Yufen took a deep breath and said excitedly: "Thank you, Governor Shen. Without Governor Shen this time, I really don't know what to do."

241. The matter of fifty thousand dollars for one cannon

Wang Yufen was wearing a purple cheongsam, with a plump and attractive figure, not the kind of skinny figure, but slightly plump, very feminine, with an indescribably beautiful figure, like a peach.

She has high hair, a signature oval face, and fair, delicate skin without any blemishes.

With willow-shaped eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, red lips, and the noble aura she has acquired since childhood, she is a perfect lady.

Especially the tears in the corners of her eyes, which not only did not look abrupt, but made her even more charming and attractive.

If she were to wear mourning clothes, she would definitely be a pretty widow, and her charm would increase dramatically.

As if feeling Shen Hao's gaze, Wang Yufen's heartbeat slightly accelerated. Instead of being angry, she slightly stretched her body.

Afraid that it’s not beautiful enough.

Wang Yufen is a realistic person.

Being cheated out of 50,000 yuan was just a drop in the bucket for Shen Hao, but it was a heavy blow to Wang Yufen.

This is all the wealth she has saved over the years. If she can't get the money back, it will be more painful than killing her.

Therefore, with the help of Shen Hao, Wang Yufen found the manager of Wanfa and was full of gratitude to Shen Hao.

At the same time, Wang Yufen gained a new understanding of power.

After seeing Shen Hao's power, I realized that a high official position does not necessarily mean great power.

Jin Quan made several phone calls, but to no avail.

Shen Hao made a phone call and the entire Hebei Province, Tianjin, sea, railways, and all pipelines were blocked.

Jin Quan is simply unable to carry out a comprehensive investigation of every household in Hebei Province. There is no harm without comparison, and the weight of this comparison is immediately apparent.

This also made Wang Yufen feel admiration for Shen Hao in her heart.

Once people worship something, they will develop a slave mentality.

Subconsciously, you will listen to someone and obey that person.

You worship money, so when you see rich people, you will choose to submit and please them.

You worship appearance, and when you see a handsome man or a beautiful woman, you will subconsciously obey and become their bootlicker.

If you worship power and see powerful people, you will become a dog of power and have no personality of your own.

However, Shen Hao took almost all of them.

He is rich, powerful and good-looking, almost all of which are top-notch.

There is no reason not to worship.

Therefore, when Wang Yufen found that Shen Hao was looking at her, the first thing she did was not to cover herself, but to think about how to make Shen Hao enjoy the look.

I was also worried that Shen Hao would feel uncomfortable watching this.

Try every possible means to make Shen Hao enjoy the show.

She herself was not aware of this subconscious feeling.

As time passed, an hour went by quickly.

But for Wang Yufen, this hour felt like a year.

I was in agony inside.

When Wanfa’s manager was brought in front of Shen Hao, Wang Yufen immediately lost her mind.

"Commander Shen, I leave the person to you."

Shen Hao said: "Okay, thank you for your help."

After everyone left, Wang Yufen kicked Manager Wanfa in the face without saying a word.

“You son of a bitch, you’re running for me.

Liar, big liar.
