Chapter 151 Rebellion

The sky is as blue as the empty and quiet sea, without a trace of clouds. A rain in early summer made the dry air in the capital a little moist, and it felt particularly fresh and refreshing to breathe.

The garden located in the inner city of the capital is more charming. In the large rockery with green mountains and peaks, there is a field man in his fifties with long beards. His slightly fat body looks a little majestic. Although his face is smiling, his eyebrows are a little too solemn and aggressive. He looks very well in a long shirt.

A foreigner was next to him. The youth of the two was a little similar, and his fingers seemed to be extremely humble. The two talked as they walked, excited. I only heard the boy say to the foreigners beside him with a little Beijing accent:

"You see, this garden was built at the time of Master Kangxi. After hundreds of years of cultivation, we have today's natural scenery!"

A foreigner in his fifties who bent down humbly hurriedly opened his mouth to praise when he heard this.

"What adults say is that the style of this garden is unique, the layout is strange, and it has the characteristics of seeing the big from the small, which is fascinating."

"You foreigner, you are really unique!"

The two walked forward, sometimes looking up from the railing, and the mountain view came into view; they stepped into the corridor, and the corridor separated the window. Look at the flowing mountains and rocks on the left, and look at the platform on the right. Step by step, the scene is full of interest. In front of the Wanhua Building, the Hualin embroidery valley is like a cloud, as if in the embrace of thousands of flowers. Especially looking at the flowing water under the water wall from the Yulexie makes people feel that the stream flows to the distance, and they don't know where the end is. The reflection in the water is like a picture. The foreigner was so excited that he even raised his arms and shouted the words "This scene is natural".

The praise of foreigners only made the man walking in front of him look proud and said:

"It's our Qing Dynasty!"

The proud Ruifang turned his head and looked at the foreigners beside him. The foreigner next to him is Charlie, who has been active in the capital and Tianjin for more than a month. The reason why he came to the capital was to "choose" a suitable governor of the two rivers as a speculative object.

For foreigners, the Swiss side does not have much good impression, but it is rare to have a little good impression on Charlie, a foreigner. It is unpredictable in the officialdom. Three years ago, the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Yanjing and hunted the two palaces in the west. Because of his meritorious service, the Swiss side was transferred to the position of political envoy of Henan and was promoted to governor of Hubei. In 1902, in the 28th year of Guangxu, because Zhang Zhidong acted as the governor of Hubei, he acted as the governor of Huguang.

This generation is more than a year. Zhang Nanpigen is based on Huguang. Although he acts on behalf of the two rivers, the matter of Huguang is controlled by Zhang Nanpi. It is also because of this that his acting is really boring. And now Wei Guangtao of the Hunan Department, Zhou Fu of the Huai Department, Yuan Shikai of Beiyang and Gong Li are all focusing on the positions of the two rivers, whether it is Whoever became the governor of the two rivers, he did it in Huguang. Zhang Zhidong left Jiangning on the first day, and the next day he would return to Wuchang to serve as the governor of Huguang.

For the sake of the position of the two rivers, the factions can be said to be fierce. With the change of the situation and the attack of the parties, the Swiss side saw the climate. Obviously, the palace did not want the Xianghuai departments in the southeast to continue to control the two rivers, so he also moved his mind.

It's just that Rui Fang is different from Yuan Shikai's direct competition for the position of the two rivers with Wei Guangtao, Zhou Fu and others. He is obviously smarter. After Feng Zhao returned to Beijing, he first worshipped Rong Lu and Li Lianying. After Rong Lu died a month ago, he was even more focused on Li Lianying, but General Manager Li could only inform him what the Buddha was thinking. As for the others, they can't help much.

And when the Swiss side watched the infighting between the parties get fiercer, and when he lost Ronglu, the backer, Charlie unexpectedly visited him, and the two soon became "friends" who had nothing to say. The news brought by Charlie made him frustrated and enthusiastic again. The minister did not want the position of the two rivers to lead to the instability of the political situation in the Qing Dynasty. After all, there were a wide range of people involved, so they intended to support the palace to choose a person who can be accepted by all parties to choose the governor of the two rivers, while Charlie was active in the capital and Tianjin. In the end, he successfully entered the eyes of the public envoy.

In the eyes of the public envoy, he once supported the Wuxu change, encouraged students to study abroad, and protected foreigners in Shaanxi. He was an open-up official who could deal with. In front of the old Buddha, although he supported the change, he was also confused for a while. In the year of Gengzi, he took over the meritorious service, and his family was naturally more useful than those outsiders.

Yesterday afternoon, the Buddha summoned him in the garden, and the imperial edict would come down in a few days. He temporarily belonged to the position of the governor of Liangjiang. Although he had a temporary word, he also knew that this temporary generation was actually to block the mouth of Wei Guangtao, Zhou Fu, Yuan Shikai and others.

"Charlie, you foreigners are the hardest to say. If you are not careful, you don't know what will happen!"

Although he thanked Charlie for his past help in his heart, he knew that the reason why Charlie helped him was actually something to be asked for!

"Your Excellency, this is actually not the case. We're just doing things very seriously!"

Charlie repeatedly waved his hand and said that the future governor of Liangjiang next to him could help a lot in the future. When he arrived in Tianjin a month ago, he specially asked someone to inquire about the four popular candidates of Liangjiang governors. Wei Guangtaojin, Zhou Fu and Yuan Shikai were all open-up or flexible people. They were reasonable to Liangjiang, even if they didn't look like In the past, the support for industrial companies will not move at all.

Only this Swiss side is greedy for power, greed and wealth. When it belonged to Lihuguang, it even fought for merit and moved psychologically on Han Yeping. Is there a more suitable candidate than him? The reason why the public envoys prefer him in the selection of the governor of Liangjiang is precisely for these reasons that they do not agree with the Yangzijiang area where the strong figures value their interests.

"Extremely serious!"

He muttered in his mouth, but he smiled in the bottom of his heart. Charlie didn't say much truth.

"Mr. Charlie, you are from Shanghai. How much do you know about that industrial company?"

Perhaps because of the concuation of the old Buddha and General Manager Li, the Swiss side not only puts itself in the position of the governor of Liangjiang, but also regards the industrial company as a piece of fat meat, a piece of fat that is eager to rush up.

The reason why he asked Charlie this is just because he had inquired about the various conflicts of interest between Charlie and other foreigners and the industrial company. The old Buddha wanted to punish Chen Moran's unfilial piety of the industrial company, but he was worried that his wife was a British noble daughter. Now these foreigners have no good impression on Chen Moran. As a loyal minister, he naturally wants Solve the troubles for the Buddha.

"Industrial company?"

Charlie was overjoyed. After carefully observing Ruifang's look, he whispered.

"This is a big company, but we don't have any business dealings. His car factory and steel factory are very big, and Pudong's development is also very profitable!"

Automobile factory, steel factory! How could Ruifang not know these two large factories? Even after knowing from General Manager Li that the old Buddha was dissatisfied with Chen Moran, he had already regarded several large factories of industrial companies as the capital of "promotion of Yaogong". Of course, he would never use Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong's group of people to "receive their profits, and officials receive their achievements!"

"Pudong!"

While muttering these two words, the Swiss side turned his head and stared at Charlie. When Charlie jumped up and down in Tianjin and the capital, he sent someone to Shanghai to inquire about Charlie. The conflict between him and Chen Moran, as well as the contradictions between industrial companies and concession real estate, were all because of Pudong.

"Mr. Charlie, isn't it Pudong that you helped me in the capital?"

He stared at Charlie, and the Swiss side smiled coldly as he spoke.

Charlie, who was stared at, was shocked by the words of the Swiss side, but he stroked his suit and bowed gently.

"Lord Rui, in the same way, you also have your needs, don't you?"

Staring at him, the gasping kung fu Ruifang suddenly laughed.

"Charlie, you foreign devil... Come on, let's go to the play in the afternoon. As for Pudong, let's talk about it later!"

Rui Fang smiled and turned around and walked out of the pavilion. The matter of Pudong needs to be talked about. Chen Moran can exchange Pudong for silver to run an iron factory and a car factory, and he can naturally use this method.

Looking at the report in his hand, after being stunned for a long time, it was not until Guan Mingtang shouted repeatedly that Chen Moran bowed slightly and sat up in the seat.

"Chairman, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, Zheqin! I'm afraid our good day will fall down!"

"Oh?"

Guan Mingtang sat down on a chair in front of his desk and put his suitcase on the carpet.

"Zhe Qin!"

Thinking of the content of the report, Chen Moran smiled bitterly.

"Yesterday, Qing Zheng Axe has appointed a new governor of the two rivers! A flag man!"

"The flag man?"

Guan Mingtang frowned.

"The news from the capital, I'm afraid the flag bearer is not good! You know, when I first returned to China, I didn't know anything about the officialdom and didn't go to filial piety to some people. As a result, I was hated by others. This is still making people talk about it now, and this Swiss side is afraid of coming to Jiangning, so it is possible to start our industrial company.

Guan Mingtang grinned and said.

"Do it? Chairman, we have paid a lot of taxes. If he wants to touch us, I'm afraid he has to find an excuse first!"

Excuse? If Ruifang really focuses on industrial companies, is there no excuse? Ma'anshan's military factory and Shanghai's Huangpu School, if he is careful, he won't be worried that he can't find an excuse.

Chen Moran ignored Guan Mingtang's ease of talking, but continued to say.

"Why do you want to sin without words? Those people really rushed up. I'm afraid that our industrial company will be really bad at that time!"

Speaking of this, Chen Moran added another sentence.

"You know more about things in officialdom than I do. If he really stare at us, those buildings in Pudong alone will be enough for us to drink a pot!"

The building in Pudong! This is the result of Max's tipping message. The third floor is illegal. If it hadn't been for asking those litigants later, I'm afraid Chen Moran really didn't know that there was such a limit on height in the Qing Dynasty's national house. No matter how high the building in the concession is, no one cares about it, and no one dares to ask. However, Pudong is not a concession. There are Liu Kunyi and Zhang Zhidong in the past. Against the other hand, naturally no one can afford this law that had been diluted for a long time, but if he changed to the Swiss side, he would really move out of this law order. I'm afraid that the buildings in Pudong would be more bad!

"Building?"

Guan Mingtang was stunned, and then pondered for a while, and then understood what Chen Moran was worried about.

"If he really talks about those buildings, I'm afraid he will really cause a lot of trouble at that time."

Chen Moran looked at Guan Mingtang. The reason why he told him about this was to ask for his opinion.

"If...However, can we combine the silver..."

Listening to the silver, Chen Moran smiled bitterly and looked at Guan Mingtang.

"Do you know who hates me?"

Before Guan Mingtang could answer, Sun Mingjiu interrupted a sentence aside.

"Yes, I'm afraid this person is quite big! Otherwise, Lord Rui..."

Only half of the words, Sun Mingjiu was almost bitten his tongue by the speculation in his heart, and his face turned pale in an instant. Except for that person, who can call the governor of Liangjiang, the first governor of the world in this Qing Dynasty?

"Yes...However, what you said is...it's her!"

"That's right!"

Chen Moran nodded and looked at Guan Mingtang and Sun Mingjiu.

"That's the old woman!"

Leaning against the chair, Chen Moran squeezed out a wry smile and looked at the two people in front of him.

"To be honest, it's a strange thing for the old woman to hate me. It's just that I didn't confess to the eunuch beside her. Let's meet by chance! If you are hated by those villains, you will naturally be hated by the old woman!"

There was no respect in Chen Moran's words, and Guan Mingtang felt indifferent to his words. Only Sun Mingjiu sometimes sweated. He thought that it was no wonder you would be hated. It was such disrespectful. Who took turns and who didn't remember you.

"You mean that if the Swiss side comes, it is likely to please the empress dowager and target industrial companies?"

Guan Mingtang frowned and asked. Now he knows why Chen Moran has always been most worried about the ownership of the governor of the two rivers. What he is worried about is that the Qing Zheng Axe sent an obedient official. With the resentment of the empress dowager, naturally someone will solve the empress dowager's worries. If the industrial company wants to survive this disaster, they are afraid... Look Chen Moran, but Sun Mingjiu asked softly.

"Yes, what do you think we should go to the capital now and make friends with this Lord Rui?"

"It's late!"

Before Chen Moran could answer, Guan Mingtang made a decision.

"Now it is not the Swiss side that wants to move the industry, but the empress dowager. I'm afraid the reason why the Swiss side can become the governor of these two rivers is also the meaning of the empress dowager. What you think, even if we use silver, he may be for the sake of silver, not official hats."

Turned his face to look at Chen Moran, but Guan Mingtang asked again.

"Yes, if this Ruifang really attacked the industrial company and asked us to level the building in Pudong, would you level it?"

"Finglou! Are you kidding, Zheqin? Those buildings alone are worth a thousand pieces of silver.

Sun Mingjiu shouted, not to mention that Pudong Company has his shares, even if there are no his shares, there are two of his buildings, flat buildings there. Isn't this just wanting his life?

"Yes, I think..."

Looking back at Chen Moran, Sun Mingjiu said an idea.

"There are many of those buildings that are foreign banks. What do you think if we take foreigners to block them?"

"But if the Swiss side doesn't ask foreigners, what about the Pudong company?"

Guan Mingtang looked at Sun Mingjiu and then at Chen Moran.

"If he doesn't ask about the foreigner's building, he just stares at the Pudong company and asks the Pudong company to dismantle it. The company will compensate. If he doesn't demolish the building, he will make the company's crime and collect the company's land. What should we do then?"

When he opened his mouth, Sun Mingjiu couldn't say a word. If so, there was really no way.

Chen Moran nodded and looked at the two people in front of him with a long sigh.

"It's difficult!"

Sun Mingjiu sighed. His Sun family had bet hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in Pudong. If this Pudong is really over, his Sun family will also suffer.

"Look for Lord Zhang to have a look..."

"County officials are not as good as county officials. Don't waste your time!"

For the officialdom, Sun Mingjiu knows better than Guan Mingtang. Naturally, he knows that if Zhang Zhidong is no longer the governor of Liangjiang, he will naturally not carry it for the industrial company and the Swiss side.

"Is it possible that we really have to sit back and wait for it?"

"I won't sit back and wait for it."

Chen Moran said coldly. When he looked at the nearly completed industrial bank building outside the window, he showed some coldness on his face.

"After the completion of the industrial company, it treats the maintenance staff well. If it is really urgent..."

"That... that's really forcing Liangshan!"

Chen Moran and Guan Mingtang talked after another, which only made Sun Mingjiu's cold sweat not come out. Looking at Chen Moran and his eyes changed in an instant, he looked at Chen Moran and then at Guan Mingtang. The two of them were not confused!

"You have to think clearly that many things are a big mistake!"

When Sun Mingjiu was scared, Guan Mingtang just looked at Chen Moran and continued to say.

"Is it a big mistake? Zheqin, Mingzhe, if they really start, I'm afraid that at that time, our industrial company will really end. At that time, what's the big mistake?

Chen Moran sighed helplessly. Things always changed so fast. He sent a regiment of troops to the northeast to prepare. After that, he sent a new governor, and the arrival of the new governor would only speed up the pace of his rebellion.

"You have to think clearly!"

Staring at Chen Moran, Guan Mingtang said again that the industrial company has an engineering team of nearly 20,000 people on the construction sites of Huainan, Ma'anshan and Pudong and Huainan Coal Mine Railway, and there is also a policeman of nearly 1,500 people in the three places. If he is really anxious, maybe Chen Moran will really force him to Liangshan.

"However, Ming... Ming Zhe!"

Sun Mingjiu understood what they said, but looking at them talking about it seriously, he began to pretend to be confused and stammered.

"You...what are you talking about!"

Forced Liangshan to think clearly. If Sun Ming hadn't understood it for a long time, I'm afraid he would have lived in vain for half of his life.

He turned his head and looked at Sun Mingjiu, and Guan Mingtang spit out two words faintly!

"Rebellion!"
