30 unplayed cards

"There are many kinds of ideals," Zhang Jian, the champion, pressed the scorching odor filter in the ashtray, slowly pushed the tea floating on it with a bowl lid, and half closed the slightly puffy single bubble eye. You are the same as Sun Cannon's idealist, but not the same.

"I don't understand what you mean, sir."

"The impulsiveness and recklessness you showed during the Northern Expedition seemed to understand the national conditions in the eyes of people, but in fact, it is not. In this Northern Expedition, there are already two provinces ruled by Ezhou. The Western Expedition launched by the people's heart of the Northern Expedition, which radiates the vast area of the northwest. The sale of the Western Expedition's public debt is even unconsciously tied to the super rich gentry of Shanghai Beach to your Western Expedition chariot. These guys are still happy to hold your Western Expedition public debt. Zhi. You also took advantage of the financial difficulties in Nanjing to buy the official industries in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Jiangnan Shipyard was also acquired by the Xinhua Consortium. I heard that you still want to swallow the Steamship Merchants Bureau. I guess you plan to continue to recover the Hankou Concession's virtual fire monopoly on Yangtze River shipping, right? You have a big appetite. The navy also separated the former Qing Yangtze River Marine Division because Nanjing did not provide military expenses. The Yangtze River fleet composed of Chu and Jiang has set out from the Huangpu River this morning. I guess the destination must also be your Hankou. Don't you know the domestic situation like the back of your hand, can you do it? Whether the Northern Expedition is successful or not, you have the strength of Beiyang and Nanjing. Zhang Jian has been in the fame and fortune field for more than 20 years, and has been deeply provoting the art of power. Speaking of these, his face is cold, and he can't see any emotional fluctuations.

Li wants to know that what they are most afraid of and can't tolerate is the division of the country. This is also the last thing Li Xiang wants to see and has been working hard, so he said in his most sincere tone, "Three parts of the world? Do you know why the Ezhou Revolutionary Army has developed so rapidly and can have the power to fight against the elites of the North Sea with simple equipment? This is because the Ezhou Revolutionary Army is a national righteousness, the ideal of the country, and is united. If I want to split the country, the military heart of the Ezhou Revolutionary Army will immediately dissipate like the melting of spring snow. These things in Nanjing are what you and I want, and I have never forced anyone. If you want to quit, I won't stop you. It's not up to you to get on and off the ship. You don't have to buy the public debt of the Western Expedition. You don't have to buy it. You don't have to join the establishment of the Yangtze River Commerce Association. I don't force it. The twisted melon is not sweet!" Li wanted to say that many things stopped, took a deep breath of smoke, and looked at the reaction of Zhang Jian, the champion through the thick smoke.

Zhang Jian, the champion, is also observing Li Xiang. This small man with light eyebrows is extremely weak at a glance. He is a typical southerner with a small white face, but he is a capable minister in governing the world and a hero in troubled times. Zhang Jian, the champion, was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile, "I think it's easy to get on the boat, but it's a little difficult to get off the boat... Li Shuai is a person with the ideal of a family and a country. I believe it. You and Sun Gong are the same kind of people. I don't know how many aspiring young people have fooled you, but the biggest difference between you and him is that you know the situation at home and abroad, so your trick can succeed every time. The domestic trend has been taken advantage of by you to the extreme, and the international trend has also been taken advantage of by you to the extreme. In the conflict between you and foreigners in Hankou, the national public opinion believes that you must die without a place to be buried. Think about the catastrophe of Gengzi year, because of the annexation of righteousness and boxing, how many imperial officials fell to the ground, and how many relatives of the imperial relatives were exiled to prison. Even the alliance Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren planned to give up you, but as a result, they fell to the ground. Eyeball, you won, foreigners admitted defeat, and the concession, which marked the shame of incomplete national sovereignty, was recovered for the first time... However, it's a pity that if you take advantage of the false fire of the Hankou national movement and negotiate more tougher, it may be possible to recover the Jiujiang Concession, or even the Shanghai Concession, or even recover more interest regime. . You and I are all allies, but would you like to hear my opinion?"

Li wanted to listen while playing the soot and said slowly, "As long as you have the courage, I can create this momentum for you in Huning now. Do you have the courage to fire at the devil warships gathered on the river outside Nanjing?

"What I want to focus on is the power of road mines--" Zhang Jian, the champion, leaned forward and said, "Railway mines, the internal affairs of the country. In all countries around the world, this matter is not in the hands of the outside, so it is known as internal affairs.

"Railway mine?" Lixiang's beautiful eyebrows jumped. Only at this moment could he see the thousands of hills in his heart, but this was only a moment, and he immediately returned to normal, "the lifeline of the country. Regardless of whether you are an official or not, private or not, you don't have to be a native, but you are not bound by the laws of your own country. Only the national sovereignty system is clear, the foundation is consolidated, and the top and bottom are connected to protect their rights. Therefore, although outsiders have lost a lot of money, they do not use their own skills to seize it. Manting can't protect the national sovereignty. Where can he master the lifeline of the country?

Zhang Jian, the champion, then said, "It's more than that! Our railway is built by Ruojinyu, Ruoluhan, Ruohan, Ruolongzhou, Ruotaiyuan Liulin, British, Bi, American, French and Russian. If the mine is Meng Pingze Lu in Shanxi, if it is around Huaiqing in Henan, and the mountains north of the Yellow River, if it is Kaiping in Zhili, if it is Qingxi in Guizhou, where the funds of English, French and Yi are operated, this is also a debt, which is incompreted with diplomacy. And the three eastern provinces of Osso, Japan's Soyingkou Shandong, Yingsuopukou, Yisuo Zhejiang, Faso Wuzhou Mianning Ruolu Ruo Mine have been reported one after another, and the benefits of the road mine will be returned to outsiders!" With that, he looked at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang asked with a sarcastic smile and asked, "The Ezhou government has set up official subordinates. For example, it is a way to make it easy with Chinese businessmen. Do you think I'm just perfunctory and following empty words?"

"With the leaders of Xinhua Consortium and Liu's Consortium, we are not afraid." Zhang Jian, the champion, did not care about Li Xiang's sarcastic words, "Chinese businessmen advance and foreign merchants retreat. Although they can't protect our rights alone, they can also be a little thorny in diplomacy."

Li Xiang was stunned at first, and then laughed dumbly. He pointed to Zhang Jian, the champion, and said, "The diplomacy of Hankou was slow and urgent. You want to increase the bargaining weight by fighting with foreign devils. After accumulating some national capital in a few years, you may have a try. Now, it's better to organize a concession labor strike!"

"But the rights of the road mine must be recovered." Zhang Jian, the champion, is determined to pull Li's strong backing for the business war today, so he did not give in. "Li Shuai just said it well - road and mining rights, which is the lifeblood of a country."

"You don't need to repeat!" Li wants to look at the road and mine rights than anyone else. In the territory ruled by Ezhou, all the road and mining rights are owned by the Ezhou government.

"In this case, Li Dashuai is located in Ezhou and organizes funds to acquire Nanjing's industry. Why don't he take back the mining rights of the road taken by outsiders?" Zhang Jian, the champion, stood up and put the melon skin hat on his head. Ge Ge sneered and said, "This is not perfunctory because of empty words!" With that, he arched his hand and was about to resign.

"Why are you in a hurry!" Li wanted to know that the champion had misunderstood. He quickly got up and pulled it and said with a smile, "Let's finish talking."

"It's good." Seeing that he was softened, Zhang Jian, the champion, couldn't help but be a little complacent. "The Guangdong-Han Railway was sold to Huamei Hexing Company founded by Sheng Xuanhuai in the United States. The total loan is 40 million US dollars, which is built by the Americans and cannot be transferred to other countries. Two-thirds of Huamei's shares were bought by businessmen at this profit in the market. After the people of Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong learned the news, they exposed the fact that the United States had breached the contract and insisted on the abolition of the original contract. Students studying in Japan organized the railway federations of Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong provinces. They fought to take back their own office, and finally "redeemed" the Guangzhou-Sanshui section that had been built with 6.75 million US dollars, and the original contract was invalidated. The recovery of the Guangdong-Han Railway has set a precedent for "redemption by yourself". In just a few years, the patriotic movement of self-conserving road rights in various provinces has become a trend all over the country, effectively impacting the reactionary rule of the great powers and their lackeys. In the process of the struggle to recover the right to the way, the struggle to recover the right to the mineral is also in full swing. The British Fu Company bribed Qing officials and signed a contract to undertake Jin mine by borrowing money from the Shanxi Bureau of Commerce, and obtained the mining rights of coal and iron ore in Pingding, Mengxian, Lu'an, Zezhou, Pingyang and other counties in Shanxi for a period of 60 years. However, despite the contract, the company has not been prospected and mined. After the Boxer Rebels, Shanxi gentry merchants negotiated with Fu Company and tried to recover the lost mining rights, which were repeatedly rejected. With the support of local officials, gentry raised funds to buy mining land and mined it by themselves. Upon hearing the news, the United Kingdom immediately rudely reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, claiming that no matter who or the company in Huayang is allowed to open mines there without the permission of Fu Company. At the same time, it is unreasonable to ask the Shanxi Commerce Bureau to close the mines that have been opened in various places and fly flags everywhere for exploration. In the face of the British intimidation, the people of Shanxi were full of righteous indignation, rebelled, persisted for several years, and did not compromise. They set up Baojin Company, opened dozens of coal mines, and announced that the mine was not allowed to be sold to outsiders. A mass conference was held in Taiyuan, with more than 10,000 participants. The meeting decided that if Fu Company wants to forcibly mine, it is not allowed to sell land, and people nearby are not allowed to work for it or trade with it. Anyone who violates this contract will be expelled from Shanxi nationality. Seeing that it was difficult to recover, Fu Company had no choice but to conclude a contract with the Shanxi Commerce Bureau and agreed to allow Shanxi gentry to redeem all the mining rights with 2.75 million taels of silver.

The movement to recover rights has achieved certain results, and has paid a very heavy price, and has also suffered some setbacks. Li thought that he would not take such a gentle path. He would not recognize the treaties and debts of the Manting. Lu Mine was originally from China, and he would never pay the ransom. But at the end of the story, there happened to be something Li wanted to say.

"Sheng Xuanhuai, the General Office of the Qing Railway, has sold countless profits and interests of the railways that have been escorted out in recent years. Although he has been dismissed due to the trend of Baolu in Sichuan, he has recently become active again. Recently, in order to recapture Sheng's industry confisified by the revolutionary government, he is ready to sell the national interests." Li wanted to look up and look at the champion with a smile. I don't know if Mr. Zhang has heard about it?

Zhang Jian, the champion, was stunned and said, "This traitor, the whole country said: It can be killed!" He has been removed from his post and fled to Japan, and all Sheng's industry has been confiscated. Does he still want to toss around? Is that where he betrayed the rights?

"Han Yeping!" Li wanted to say loudly, "He is still pretending under the banner of General Manager Han Yeping!"

Then, Li wanted to guess and talk about the matter of Han Yeping jointly between China and Japan.

Zhang Jianteng, the champion, jumped up and said urgently, "Farewell!" I left without taking care of anything.

Li wanted to stand on the steps with his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "No." But he thought in his heart, "There are a lot of cards that I didn't play, son of a bitch, let's wait and see!"
