Chapter 241 Flowing from good

South of Yunling, called Yunnan. Yunnan has a complex terrain and many mountains. Except for the vast surrounding areas near Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake, there are dense mountains and canyons, and the traffic conditions are very inconvenient. It can be said that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. It was also the high mountain emperor who made Yunnan maintain an ambiguous attitude when the restoration of the army. On the one hand, he showed goodwill to Nanjing secretly, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to change his position.

The governor of Yungui is also one of the nine most senior feudal officials in the Qing Dynasty, but compared with the other eight governors, the governor's office of Yungui is undoubtedly a little indecent. The governor's office is just a palm-sized place, facing south, leaning against the slope of the south slope of Wuhua Mountain. The feng shui is good, but the place is very small, and the distance between north and south is about More than 200 meters, and the distance between east and west is less than 200 meters.

Although he did not see the demity of the other eight governors, Li Jingxi, as the governor of Yungui, took charge of the affairs of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. The scenery is by no means comparable to that of ordinary governors. However, now the governor's office of Yungui is not a government order not a hundred miles away from Kunming. The restoration army marched west of Hunan. Lin Shaonian, the governor of Guizhou, surrendered without a fight, and it was even more slap. The big Yungui Governor's Mansion is in the rain.

"...Yehnala, who measured the material resources of China and formed the joy of the country, controlled the two dynasties of the Qing Dynasty and Guangxu. Forty-three years in total, its crime of harming the country and misleading the people was inexorable..."

After reading this newspaper, Li Jingxi was silent for a long time. He waved his hand gently and motioned Zhao Erxin and others to quit. Sitting alone, he seemed to be stunned. I don't know how long it took, Wang Zhuqi said in his ear.

"Your Excellency, it's dark. Do you want to hold the lamp?"

"What? It's getting dark. How long have I been sitting?

At this time, Li Jingxi woke up like sleeping.

"There's an hour."

"Well, after the light, you tell the kitchen not to deliver food tonight. Just ask them to cook a bowl of vegetable soup and beat two eggs."

After Wang Zhuqi went out, Li Jingxi's mind began to turn around.

The reason why he has been hesitant is by no means that he is loyal to Manqing. The reason why he is just wants to wait for the price. As Li Hongzhang's nephew, how can he not be aware of the situation? But now... His hand is on the table, and there is a cup of Pu'er tea on the table that has already been cooled, and his eyebrows are sometimes frowned. A month ago, August, the French Consul General in Kunming? Ferenzois had visited him at the Governor's Palace, and Fang Suya, who had a Chinese name, put forward a strong suggestion.

Yungui's reading ability!

France gives protection! Although I don't know whether this is the meaning of France or the Governor of India and China, or Fang Suya's own decision, it is not just something that can be described for anyone. In fact, in the past month, Li Jingxi has been thinking about Fang Suya's suggestion.

It can also be considered. Before March, the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River were restored, and the trend of restoration in Yunnan was said to be healed. Just in case, the governor's office transferred the team to the guard camp, the heavy camp, and even specially purchased ten machine guns from the French foreign bank to be stationed in the governor's office to prevent the rebellion of the rebels in Kunming city.

The Shang gentry in Kunming City said more times, "Please restore justice", and Wang Hongtu, who was Tongqingfeng, said frankly, "If you are a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, you are afraid that the sword of the world will be difficult to defeat. If you want to crack Yunnan to protect the legal person, I'm afraid that the people of Yunnan will not want to do it." The opposition of the Shang gentry made Li Jingxi beat up in his heart. He was afraid of himself. As soon as he read, he was in a different place. He was not from Yunnan. If he was from Yunnan, he was afraid that he would have already... Thinking that the Guangfu army would enter Yunnan, Li Jingxi felt cold and trembling all over. Guangfu army, Fang Suya... The two words in his heart were repeatedly considered in his heart.

"It's difficult!"

"Your Excellency, Wang Zhiqiu came to see you."

At this time, Wang Zhuqi came in to report.

"Why did he come here?"

When Li Jingxi was thinking about it, Wang Hongtu had already walked in.

"I've met the Governor!"

However, the 30-year-old Wang Hongtu seems to be much more mature and sophisticated than in the past. The "three generations and one product" under the shade of his parents made him only need to bow in front of Li Jingxi, a first-class head of the dynasty.

"Zhiqiu, sit down!"

"Yesterday, all the provinces in Sichuan were restored, and Hongtute came to congratulate the governor."

As the owner of Tongqingfeng, although Wang Hongtu is much more mature and sophisticated than in the past, he lost his ordinary maturity as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Sichuan has been rebellious. At this time, the prosperity of the country is all trapped, saying things like He Xi."

Sitting opposite Wang Hongtu, Li Jingxi looked at him carefully for a while. Is this what Wang Hongtu said today?

"I heard that Tongqingfeng is preparing for the Southwest Bank, isn't it? In the past, you didn't see it again and again. Why are you free to go to the house now?

"Qianzhuang changed from bank to the trend, and Tongqingfeng followed the trend. Fortunately, Shanghai and Nanjing were quite well taken care of. Originally, Hongtu intended to go to Nanjing."

Wang Hongtu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and suddenly said.

"Your Excellency, Tongqing Feng still knows how to follow the trend. Is it true that you have made up your mind to go against the current?"

"Zhiqiu, what do you mean!"

Li Jingxi, who was confused, asked.

"Your Excellency, Lord Fang Su Yaxu's reading ability, France guarantees it. In fact, he wants to use Yunnan as a hostage to claim more rights and interests. If the government is not afraid, he will use Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi to restore the army. I don't know if the adult thinks that the legal person is willing to take the risk of breaking with the ruling axe for the adults?"

Wang Hongtu said peacefully.

"Your Excellency, the rule is by no means what Yehenara can compare. The British intend to take the Tibetan province as the hostage. The British still exist in Tibet, and the rule is not allowed to take half a step, let alone Yunnan? On the other hand..."

As soon as the words sank, Wang Hongtu put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the governor in front of him.

"Today, the adult's decree does not go out of Kunming for a hundred miles. In the adult's opinion, even if the adult is able to read, how can the lord be split in China in this land of Yunnan?"

Originally, Wang Hongtu did not want to go to this pool of water, but now he has to come to this pool of water. The restoration army pressed the border, and the commercial road cut off the weight of Tongqingfeng destruction, which he did not want to see. On the other hand, he has received an invitation from the ruling axe consultation office to discuss politics in Nanjing as a businessman, and to Nanjing He is deeply ungrateful to him when he is in power.

At the start of the restoration of service, the whole country was in turmoil, and Tongqingfeng, which was closely related to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, had a huge loss. Affected by the collapse of local businesses, Tianshunxiang, which operates Qianzhuang, suffered heavy losses. The public and private funds lent to officials at all levels in the Qing Dynasty have nowhere to be asked for after the restoration. Moreover, among the people in charge of Tianshunxiang's sub-number everywhere, there were fraud and fugitives with money, which made Wang Jiaxue even worse.

Originally, the Wang family just held a try attitude and asked the ruling axe to help on the Nanjing semicolon. In less than half a month, the newly formed IRS sent personnel to intervene to assist in the investigation of the fraud of the branch camps in Tianshunxiang, and even arrested the fugitives with money, and recovered as many as millions of taels of escaped silver. Subsequently, Tian Shunxiang mentioned that the Ministry of Justice recognized the private arrears of former Qing officials. However, in order to avoid trouble, the names of the magnates of the Qing Dynasty were crossed out. The official' private arrears were easy to handle, and it would be difficult to deal with the affairs involving the nobles of the Qing Dynasty. The official's private arrears were confirmed by the judiciary, which made Tian Shunxiang and Qingfeng finally get through the crisis after the restoration. Although it lost millions of taels, it was better than the situation at the beginning of the restoration.

Because of this, as the owner of Tongqingfeng and Tian Shunxiang, Wang Hongtu will go through this pool and persuade him to recover at the risk of being killed by Li Jingxi. In his opinion, the ruling axe puts aside the "loyalty and patriotism" of the royal family, and gives great kindness to the royal family. Even if we put aside the great righteousness of the nation, this will be returned.

"Again, Mr. Fang supports whether the governor's reading ability is in Paris or not, it's two different!"

Seeing that Li Jingxi was still a little hesitant, Wang Hongtu took heavy medicine, and Fang Suya, who advised Li Jingxi to read, was the fire that made him know that Fang Suya was just influenced by the Governor of India and China, and the Governor of India and China just wanted to ask for credit from Paris.

In a word, Li Jingxi's heart slowly turned to despair. He sat in a chair, as if his body was being pushed into the dark abyss.

"Your Excellency, I have a letter from Nanjing here."

With that, Wang Hongtu took out a letter and handed it to Li Jingxi with both hands. This letter is a letter from Liu Nengxian. This letter is not about anyone else, but a comment on Li Hongzhang three years ago.

After taking the letter and reading it carefully for a long time, Li Jingxi was silent for a long time before slowly spitting out a sentence.

"I... Now even if I want to recover, I'm afraid..."

The reason why Li Jingxi hesitated is that Yunnan has not recovered so far. Although he has sent a good secret telegram to Nanjing one after another, now he is a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty who is "looking to the world". At this time, the government always needs to kill chickens for monkeys.

"What adults are worried about is really unfounded."

Wang Hongtu smiled and put on a posture that you didn't know.

"How does the adult compare with Yuan Shikai?"

"I, without the help of Yuan Shikai, I have no power!"

"How does the adult compare with Sun Yat-sen?"

"Sun is really a traitor. How can he talk about it with his husband!"

"Your Excellency, Yuan Shikai, who can hold the power of soldiers, and the Sun family of the revolution and republic, can't you tolerate the lord?"

At this point, Li Jingxi and Wang Hongtu are the same as what they see, but he can't be like Wang Hongtu without scruples. He is just a businessman. He can feel that he gives a little favors in Nanjing, but he is different. In the eyes of the world, Li Jingxi is a pillar of the southern sky of the Qing Dynasty. "Turn the tide and fall!", but He knew that this was by no means praise, and that he wanted his life at all.

The world often lament the loneliness of some people who "turn the tide from the fall" in the change of dynasties, but in the change of dynasties, a little carelessness, this "lone loyalty" may lead to strange disasters.

Li Jingxi said after thinking for a long time.

"If the government is tolerant of people, won't I be good!"
