Chapter 252 Manager of Daye Investment Company
When Wang Hengyue pacified Yunnan and Guizhou, the war situation in Hunan also experienced major changes!
Duan Qirui's confidant General Fu Liangzuo mobilized the Northern Army to fight, with Wang Ruxian, commander of the 8th Division, as the commander-in-chief of the Hunan Army, and Fan Guozhang, commander of the 28th Division, as the deputy commander-in-chief, and ordered a three-way frontal attack of the 8th Division and the 20th Division.
At Hengshan, the Fourth Brigade of the Second Division of the Hunan Army attacked Baoqing on the right wing, and the Anwu Army transferred from Anhui attacked You County. The promise not to bring troops into Hunan was broken, and the Hunan issue became the third Civil War. The Hunan Army's second
Although Zhu Zehuang, commander of the Fourth Brigade of the Division, was from Hunan, he was willing to serve the Northern Army and led the Hunan Army from Yongfeng and Jieling to occupy Baoqing. The Beijing government immediately announced that Zhu was the garrison envoy of Changbao Town and was promoted to Army Lieutenant General.
On October 6, Wang Ruqin of the 15th Brigade of the Gu Eighth Division of the Northern Army, who was on the front, captured the undefended Hengshan on the 11th. Duan Qirui in Beijing felt relieved. He believed that Hunan would soon be pacified. At the same time, he transported
A large number of consolation items were sent to the front line to reward the soldiers.
As for the Hunan Army, when Zhao Hengti was in mourning in Hengshan, due to the large-scale invasion of the North Army from the south, the officers and soldiers of his old First Division asked Zhao Hengti to return to the army quickly.
550 miles southwest of Hengshan, the Xuanzhou River and Liu Jianfan's headquarters were fortified on the Xiang River. Wang Ruxian and Fan Guozhang led their troops to attack. The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for more than 40 days. Huang Qian, the commander of Liu Jianfan's headquarters, warned that severe winter was coming and ammunition would be exhausted, so it might be difficult to support the troops.
, he led a death squad of more than a hundred people to plagiarize the Northern Army, and died in the line of duty. The Northern Army was frightened. The Hunan Army seized the opportunity to counterattack, but the Northern Army failed and collapsed. The Hunan Army captured a large amount of ordnance and ammunition, and its military morale was greatly reduced.
The troops increased and chased north. The Northern Army had no intention of fighting and only engaged once at Chayuanpu on the Changheng Highway. The Northern Army then retreated to Changsha.
Duan waited for more good news and better news from Hunan. Unexpectedly, a month passed, but there was no news. Just when the battle situation on the front line was silent, suddenly a bolt from the blue came from the joint telegram proposed by Wang Ruxian and Fan Guozhang of the Northern Army.
On the night when Wang and Fan Han called for a ceasefire and withdrawal of troops, Fu Liangzuo issued a special martial law order in Changsha and cut off traffic in the city. In the twilight of night, Fu and acting governor Zhou Zhaoxiang secretly climbed aboard a warship and fled to the lower reaches of Changsha 60
Went to Jinggang.
Wang Ruxian and Fan Guozhang's armistice and power supply were a fatal blow to the Zhili Clan on the Anhui Clique. Because these two divisions had deep connections with the Zhili Clique. The Eighth Division was the main force during Duan's rebellion. This division helped Duan quell the restoration rebellion, and the result was that
After Jin Gongzang, the division commander Li Changtai was relieved of his military power. Duan promoted the brigade commander Wang Ruxian to the position of division commander. Duan thought that Wang Ruxian would be grateful and repay him, but he didn't know that this difference caused him to get into trouble.
After the war situation in Hunan changed, the tour of Guangdong and Guangxi allowed Lu Rongting to finally take a breather.
Taking advantage of the Northern Expedition of the Guangxi and Guangdong armies, Wang Hengyue unexpectedly captured Yunnan and Jin in lightning speed. This was completely intolerable to Lu Rongting, who had already regarded Yunnan as his treasure!
But now Lu Rongting wants to attack Wang Hengyue, but he is unable to do so. One of the important factors is military expenditure!
First, they fought a fierce battle with the Yunnan Army in Yunnan, and then for their own benefit, they used the Gui Army to
Eighty battalions of the Guangdong army came to Hunan's aid, and a lot of money was thrown away.
As the saying goes, once the gun goes off, there is ten thousand taels of gold.
Jingzhan can be short of anything, but it cannot be short of money.
But now Lu Rongting lacks nothing but money!
Lin Tianlong had been fiddling with the hexagrams there for a long time and suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Rongting, "Congratulations to the patrol envoy, congratulations to the patrol envoy!" "My Tianlong, how long has this been, and you are still joking." Lu Rongting said with a slight reproach.
.
Lin Tianlong smiled slightly: "My subordinates never tell lies. Judging from the hexagrams, there will definitely be a God of Wealth in Guangdong and Guangxi these days. This person will be the noble person of the patrol envoy." Lu Rongting believed this most in his life. After listening to Lin
Tianlong's words were dubious: "Really?" Before he finished speaking, subordinates came in from outside: "Report to the patrol envoy that there is a man who calls himself Hong Kong Daye Investment Company and wants to see him." Lu Rongting opened his mouth wide and looked at Lin Tianlong.
After a long while, he said: "Could it be, could it be, this..." "Whether it is the God of Wealth, it's hard to say..." Lin Tianlong counted his fingers for a long time and frowned and said: "Strange, yes, no, no, etc."
Yes, what is the truth of this?" "It doesn't matter whether he is right or not, just read it first and then talk about it!" Lu Rongting adjusted his clothes: "Let him in!" After a while, a thin young man walked in, wearing a Western suit, and stopped.
Wearing a civilized stick and a pair of glasses on his nose, he said as soon as he came in: "Hello, Mr. Land Patrol Envoy, hello. I am Cai Sili, general manager of Hong Kong Daye Investment Company. 1 "Mr. Cai, hello, please sit down.
"Lu Rongting invited this uninvited guest to sit down: "Daye Company? This is a good name, this is a good name. I wonder what Mr. Cai does here?" Hearing the word "Daye", Lu Rongting already liked it a little. Daye.
Daye, this name sounds auspicious.
"Your Majesty the Patrol Envoy, I have been doing business abroad all year round, in London, Paris, Berlin, New York..." Cai Sili said casually: "But your Majesty the Patrol Envoy must also know that wars are going on everywhere in Europe now, and it is very uneven.
, so I opened my company to Hong Kong and prepared to expand domestic business. Of course, this was also introduced by my cousin." Lu Rongting was in awe after hearing that Cai Sili had business in so many countries, and then heard him say, "Tang
"Brother" was curious in his heart: "I dare to ask, who is Mr. Cai's cousin?" Cai Sili said lightly: "Dear patrol envoy, he has led troops to fight in the country before. I heard that he also served as some kind of governor, no.
, it’s the Governor, you see, in foreign countries we like to call the Governor, but I always get it wrong, I’m so sorry, I always thought that I was still in the prosperous and luxurious Paris..." Lu Rongting was even more surprised in his heart, the cousin of the Governor,
who is it?
"Speaking of Paris, I thought of the Paris Opera House, the wonderful singing, I thought of the wonderful balls, oh, God, and Countess Warren's graceful figure." Chaisli chattered there, as if the whole
Lu Rongting was impatient when he returned to Paris, but based on past experience, these fake foreign devils who came back from abroad probably like to show off like this.
After patiently listening to his bragging, Cai Sili finally remembered Zhou Jun's cousin: "That cousin of mine used to be from Guizhou? No, Hunan? Not really, oh, I remembered, it was Yunnan.
The governor... no, the governor!" "Cai Zhen!" Lu Rongting and Lin Tianlong called out at the same time.
"Yes, Cai Wei." Cai Sili didn't take it seriously at all: "Why, is Hua famous?" Lu Rongting and Lin Tianlong smiled bitterly at each other, not knowing how to explain it.
His cousin is Cai Zhen? He actually asked Cai Zhen if he was famous in China?
Lin Tianlong said with some suspicion: "Is Governor Cai your cousin? 1" God, my officer." Cai Sili made a cross in front of his chest: "Is a governor really big? No, never, I
I know Earl Warren, I know Earl Hitts. God, God, am I going to use some governor to pretend to be my cousin?" Cai Sili looked very angry, but Lin Tianlong did not lose his vigilance because of this, he just apologized.
With a smile on his face, he asked: "Mr. Cai, Cai Sili must be your foreign name, right? What is your [Chinese] name?" Cai Sili's face actually turned red: "I haven't used this [Chinese] name for a long time.
, my father helped me get it, called this, this Cai Quanwang." Lu Rongting couldn't help but laugh, Cai Sili? Cai Quanwang!
A good [Chinese] Chinese person should not be called [Chinese] by a Chinese name. He must not be named by a foreigner.
"Excuse me, when will Mr. Cai come this time?" Lu Rongting thought for a moment and asked.
"Yes, Lord Inspector." Cai Sili took out an invitation: "My Daye Company will open next month. Tomorrow I will set up a few tables at Guifu Tower to entertain celebrities from all walks of life. Please be sure to come, Lord Inspector."
Lu Rongting was about to refuse, but he saw Lin Tianlong winking at him and changed his words: "Since it is Mr. Cai's invitation, Lu will definitely be there tomorrow. Come on, the invitation has been accepted." "Thank you." Cai Sili
He stood up, bowed slightly, and then walked out with a civilized stick.
Lu Rongting was about to speak when he heard Lin Tianlong say: "Come here, try your best to find the Cai family tree!" "Tianlong, Sun Wen's group of people are currently active in Guangdong and Guangxi. Maybe they have ulterior motives. Why tomorrow?"
Still want to go? 1 "Don't worry about the inspection tour!" Lin Tianlong said: "I will go first tomorrow and make sure to check inside and outside to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the inspection tour. I calculated the number of days for the inspection tour.
There must be a God of Wealth to help, and I'm afraid it should be this person. But this hexagram is a bit strange, and I haven't figured out what is right and wrong yet." "I will naturally know when the time comes." Lu Rongting pondered for a while.
"But what are you looking for Cai's family tree for?" Lin Tianlong said calmly: "Inspector, Governor Cai is no longer alive. Who knows whether this person is real or fake? What if he uses Governor Cai's name to swindle?
What should I do? I dare not not think about it carefully." Lu Rongting was immediately moved: "Tianlong, you are very good, you are very good, you are loyal, and you are so careful. What have I really done since I had you?
There is no need to worry about it." "What did the patrol envoy say? These are all things that subordinates should do." Lin Tianlong was not arrogant at all, but said respectfully: "The patrol envoy and my father are good friends, and they are good friends.
