131 vigorous

In Surai, in the reception hall of the Chinese Consulate, there are suits, leather shoes, robes and coats, and Chinese representatives from all walks of life. The hall filled with greetings and laughter. Li wanted to stand in the middle of the hall, with a spring breeze on his face and greeting everyone.

The enthusiasm of Nanyang Chinese is as hot as the weather here.

"This is Zheng Facai, the fifth son of Mr. Zheng Zhiyong, an overseas Chinese leader in Bangkok and an industrialist." Wang Jingwei pulled a dark-skinned young man and introduced him to Li Xiang like an enthusiastic host.

Zheng Facai's mind still hasn't turned around. Standing in front of him is General Li, who is the first achievement of Xinhai? Is he the Marshal of Li who dares to say no to Lord Yang? Unexpectedly, a living legend of 1911, the revolutionary idol in the minds of all young people, stood in front of him with such a smile!

"Dashuai Li, are you the first shot of Wuchang, defeating the Beiyang army and recovering the Hankou Concession?" Zheng Facai shouted with joy.

"You know it's fast!" Li wanted to laugh, and he enjoyed the vision of fanatical worship again.

"I knew it, and I've known it for months! My lord, your bravery has all spread in Nanyang!" Zheng Facai's voice trembled with excitement.

I want to shake hands, but I dare not. Li Xiang's head and the military temperament accumulated by blood always put an invisible pressure on the people who walk in him. Zheng Facai is frozen there. I don't know what etiquette to do.

Li Xiang looked at him leisurely and looked at his eyes and manners. He was well educated. Such a young man is really a rare talent! Especially for the newly founded Republic of China!

Li wanted to see this overseas Chinese hot-blooded young man. He couldn't help but start to fool him and said, "The world is yours and ours, but in the final analysis, it is yours. You young people are vigorous and prosperous, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and the hope of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation rests on you.

Such an ordinary truth is very exciting to be said by these young idols, Li Dashuai.

Wang Jingwei listened and curled his lips. Li Xiang's little white face looked much younger than Zheng Facai's little black face. It's really a big talk, but it really makes these Chinese young people's blood boil.

"In those years, Mr. Zheng Zhiyong was visited by Mr. Sun and generously donated a huge amount of money, which was spread as a beautiful talk for a while. The Wuchang Uprising was successful and the Republic of China was established. Mr. Zheng Zhiyong heard the good news in Bangkok. He was happy and resolutely offered 50,000 silver dollars, and sent his fifth son Zheng Facai to Nanjing with a pair of big ivory to congratulate Sun Yat-sen on his inauguration as interim president. After that, he generously donated one million siamese to the governor of Guangdong. Wang Jingwei said.

Li Xiang's eyes flashed imperceptiblely. Only people who are very familiar with him can understand the meaning of this look.

"This is Mr. Zhang Yongfu, an overseas Chinese leader in Singapore, a best friend of Mr. Zhongshan, and a strong supporter of the Alliance."

Li wants to blink his eyes. The name is very familiar. So he came forward and shook hands with him.

"He is not particularly rich," Wang Jingwei said, which is a standard relative to the Zheng family in Bangkok. However, he did not hesitate to support anyone who needed money and goods. During the case of Shanghai's Su Bao. In order to rescue Zhang Taiyan and Zou Rong in prison, he unblocked relations everywhere, telegraphed the British consul in Shanghai, reprinted 20,000 copies of Zou Rong's work, posted them to the Premier's office of the Qing Dynasty and the Hanlin Academy, and asked people to bring them back to the mainland for secret distribution. In addition, there is a war of public opinion between the establishment of newspapers and the royalists.

When Sun Yat-sen went to Singapore to promote the revolution, Zhang Yongfu vacated the Wanqing Garden Villa for his old mother's old age as a revolutionary base, which later became the location of the general organ of the Nanyang Revolution. Since then, it has been more convenient for Sun Yat-sen and his assistants to travel to Nanyang.

Li Xiang will know when it comes to this Wanqing Garden. So far, there is still a piece of gossip about Mr. Zhongshan in this garden.

Li wanted to pull Zhang Yongfu and asked quietly, "When I came this time, I saw Mr. Zhongshan's two beautiful daughters in Nanjing. I heard that Mr. Zhongshan's son Sun Ke and his wife, Ms. Lu, also lived in Nanjing for a while, but Ms. Chen did not go with them. I don't know if Ms. Chen is still in Nanyang? If so, where does Ms. Chen live? I'm going to visit you when I have time."

Wang Jingwei rolled his eyes beside him. Why does Marshal Li still have a habit of gossip?

Zhang Yongfu suddenly has a good impression on this guy who looks like an eagle falcon and is young and ambitious. He is full of arrogance. He also has a side to life.

"After participating in Zhennanguan, Ms. Chen suffered from tuberculosis, which was difficult to cure due to overwork, so she stayed in Penang Island for diagnosis and treatment. When Yixian took office as the interim president in Nanjing, and Ms. Lu Muzhen, who also lived in Penang Island, was about to leave for home, she sent someone to invite Ms. Chen Cuifen to accompany her...

Ms. Lu Muzhen has a good impression of Ms. Chen Cuifen. Especially in Japan, Ms. Chen Cuifen's careful care of Yixian made her more grateful. Since Ms. Chen Cuifen came to Penang Island to recover, Ms. Lu Muzhen has invited her to live together many times to avoid being alone. Ms. Chen Cuifen politely declined, saying that her disease is contagious, and it's better to live alone...

Ms. Lu Muzhen sent someone to Ms. Chen Cuifen's residence and didn't look like she was going back to China at all. After learning about this situation, Ms. Lu Muzhen came to persuade her in person. Ms. Chen Cuifen also felt that there was no need to continue to wander abroad, so she hastily packed her bags and returned to China with Ms. Lu Muzhen and the two daughters of Yixian. After arriving in Hong Kong, Ms. Chen Cuifen quietly went to Macao, and Ms. Lu Muzhen and other members were escorted by Deng Zeru to Nanjing to reunite with Yixian.

Ms. Chen Cuifen lived in seclusion in Macao. A friend from Macao found her and asked her why she didn't go to Nanjing to enjoy Qingfu. Some people even blamed Yixian for being ungrateful. At this time, Ms. Chen Cuifen patiently explained: I participated in the Anti-Qing Revolution with Yixian and established the Republic of China, and my wish to save the country and the people has been fulfilled. I was born in poverty and had limited knowledge. I left voluntarily. It was not that Sun Yat-sen abandoned me. He treated me well and did not live up to me... Now, Ms. Chen Cuifen is living a poor but comfortable life in Macao.

Li Xiang sighed: "There is a great woman behind every successful man."

Several women from the alliance looked at the young soldier who looked very male chauvinist and said such wise and respectful words about women. In this era, it is rare.

Li wanted to show a charming smile: "I believe that women can support half of the sky!"

Wang Jingwei secretly glanced at his new wife, and he really looked jubilant.

"This is Wu Shirong, the leader of Penang Island."

"Hello!"

After the Surabaya incident, with the praise and support of Sun Yat-sen, Wu Shirong, Zhuang Xiaoyuan, Wang Shaowen, Bai Pinzhou, Xu Ruilin and other Nanyang overseas Chinese and Singapore returned overseas Chinese Wu Yingpei and Xie Bitian initiated the establishment of the first overseas Chinese community organization in Shanghai - the Nanyang Overseas Chinese Federation. Mobilize the momentum of public opinion and strive for an early resolution of the incident.

The Nanyang Overseas Chinese Federation was later changed to the Overseas Chinese Federation. The purpose of the constitution adopted by the conference is: "For the motherland, the Association will represent overseas Chinese and assist in the conduct of industrial politics. For overseas Chinese, it will contact all walks of life to seek protection" and "contact overseas groups to communicate with each other to strengthen the inner heart of overseas Chinese." "Overseas Chinese from the United Nations work together to assist the political, economic and diplomatic activities of the motherland."

"This is a wonderful move!" Li Xiang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "In those years, the abuse of overseas Chinese workers was constantly exposed. Peru became the target of world public opinion, and the Spanish colonial government had to compromise with Li Hongzhang. This move is operationally feasible. White people are self-a-eving as a civilized world, and they still value these faces very much. What publications do you have as a propaganda position?

Wu Shirong laughed and said, "The Overseas Chinese Federation has just published the first monthly magazine overseas Chinese magazine in China to study and publicize overseas Chinese. Compared with Li's "People's Daily" and "Global Military Magazine", the circulation is far worse. I'll send one later."

Li Xiang was a little proud: "Well, Mr. Wu Shirong is the president?"

Wu Shirong shook his head repeatedly: "In view of Zhao Ming's reputation in Nanyang, he was elected as the honorary president. I am only the vice president and responsible for overall leadership."

Li wanted to take a look at Wang Jingwei. Unexpectedly, there were so many signs of Wang Jingwei's name. He asked, "How many branches are there in Nanyang now?"

Wu Shirong said, "Our marshal has returned to Nanyang first, and 29 overseas Chinese branches have been set up in the Xinma area."

Li wants to nod, and his work efficiency is very fast.

"Brother Shirong also set up a trade agency "Shanghai Rong Company" in Shanghai this time." Wang Jingwei smiled and said, "Brother Shirong and Li Shuai are very consistent. They are not only enthusiastic about social activities and charity activities, but also have expertise in business and industry. Brother Shirong often says that if China wants to be rich and strong, it is more than the words "talent" and "wealth". It comes from education, and wealth must be obtained from commerce and mining. Therefore, the "Shanghai Rong Company" established by Brother Shirong is committed to handling the procurement and business of the government of the Republic of China. It is known that on the day of the company's opening, the sugar from all ports in Java will go to Shanghai for 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a month.

"Compared with Li Shuai's Xinhua consortium, it's a small witch." Wu Shirong was modest for a while. My one is all a small business.

When it comes to the economy, Li Xiang's interest is high and talks about it: "Two fists of the national economy, one ass. Industry is a fist, business is a fist, and agriculture is an ass.

This metaphor is vulgar, but everyone thinks it's reasonable.

"Chal Li deserves to be able to rule the army immediately. He can rule the country immediately. He is still a Tao Zhugong!"

"Brother Shirong. I also have this plan to set up a Nanyang company to specialize in trading with Nanyang Chinese merchants. Since you can make money, revitalize the motherland and support the revolution, you might as well try it. Li wanted to say. Since you have been living in Nanyang for so many years, you should have another way. You might as well come and help me. You do it, CEO, and I'll invest.

One sentence was shocking. Wang Jingwei and his wife didn't expect that Marshal Li was so direct. Several Nanyang Chinese leaders of the alliance did not expect Li Marshal to think of Nanyang Investment, and they were all dumbfounded.

"I don't want a large commercial kingdom like the East India Company. I really call on you to take out 10 million silver from the Yangtze River Consortium." Li thought about the waves of Chinese businessmen who came to Hankou to join the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce every day for the past two months. These Chinese businessmen are really very rich. The Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce was built on the original site of the former Hankou Chamber of Commerce, which was set on fire by Feng Guozhang, raising a total of 4 million silver. Li wanted to add his own Xinhua consortium, measured this number, and felt that it was still very easy to achieve.

Li Xiang immediately heard the sound of inhaling. The Alliance has raised funds over the years, and tens of thousands of yuan is a huge amount of money. How can Li think he say 10 million super huge sums so easily? It seems that Li wants to issue red RMB and green war bonds, which is really profitable.

"The Dutch authorities have many restrictions on investment in New Malaysia, and there has never been a precedent for mainland Chinese businessmen to invest in New Malaysia! Marshal Li!" Wu Shirong said uneasily.

"What if the company is organized by you in Nanyang?" Li wanted to laugh and said, "You can also get a Japanese passport, a representative."

Mr. and Mrs. Wang Jingwei found that they had nothing to say. He is too treacherous. If the Chinese were not really different from the Caucasian, he would have pretended to be a Dutchman to invest in Nanyang.

"This..." Wu Shirong didn't expect that Marshal Li said that wind is wind and rain is rain, and he didn't know whether to refuse or accept it for a while.
