Chapter 16 Bidding (Part 2)
Seeing Li Pingshu leaving, Yuchen ordered the guards and said, "Call Director Wang of the Military Control Commission." He looked at the check in his hand and sighed, "What a pity, I can only take half of it."
Wang Lian came in a short while and bowed, "Governor, the money has been transferred to the Liberation Bank. This is the receipt of Ji Laozhan." Yuchen took it and handed the check in his hand to Wang Lian and said, "I'll write a note immediately. You can transfer this money to the Liberation Bank and write a check of 1.5 million. I'm really unwilling to give up half of the money I got."
Wang Lian was originally a child of a great merchant in southern Jiangsu. Although he became a soldier, he was the most sleek and gratifying person. He smiled and said, "Congratulations to the governor for making investments every day. Our Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army is quite wealthy now. I really want to ask for it all, but I just want to do nothing but him. What are you afraid of?"
Yuchen smiled and said, "You boy's heart is even darker than me. As a human being, it's better to leave some room. Go and do things quickly!" Wang Lian smiled and saw Lu Fengqiao coming in with a stern face when he went out. Wang Lian smiled at him and said, "Captain Lu, is there anything he wants to find the governor? The governor is in a good mood and everything he says is accurate."
Lu Fengqiao looked at him with a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Ziyuan, look at what you look like now. You don't wear a hat and have your Feng Ji buttons opened. You must know that you are a soldier, not a businessman!"
After Lu Fengqiao said that, he ignored him, shouted a report and walked in. Wang Lian subconsciously straightened his military cap, tightened his buckle, and smiled: "This lonely cold ghost."
Li Pingshu returned to his residence and did not want to go to the Finance Office to work. He met the guests in his house for the afternoon. He talked about his plans to become the governor, so people naturally congratulated him. The word "Governor" was so loud that he shouted loudly. Li Pingshu was also reserved to tell him not to be too proud. He went to rest early in the evening. Tomorrow, he officially made a formal rest. He has not had a good rest these days, but he must be fully energetic.
The next morning, when the dream was in full swing, he woke up violently. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Li Xiehe was covered in sweat, holding two pieces of bulletin paper in his hand, and was breathing so hard that he couldn't speak.
He frowned: "In the vain, what's the matter like a fire? Let's talk about it when I get up and wash up." Li Xiehe pointed to the two notices and shouted: "Wash up! Things have changed completely!"
Li Pingshu picked up the notice suspiciously and looked at it, and it was as if he was struck by lightning. One of these two notices was the declaration of the oath of the Chinese Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army, which was not necessary to pay attention to him. The other one said that after Yuchen led his troops to the war, the Shanghai Governor Chen Qimei took over, and he was also the chief of finance! He was suspected of having a blank look, and after a closer look, the black and white words were clearly written, and even the seal of the military government was stamped with bright and dazzling appearance.
He jumped up from the bed: "I'll go find that red man! I raised six million yuan for him, but he actually played tricks on me!" Now he knocked Yuchen out of his pistol.
Li Xie couldn't help but shook his head: "He held a sworn ceremony in Zhangyuan at 8 o'clock in the morning and then made a promise for Yingshi brother Buda. The matter is already a foregone conclusion. I heard that Yingshi and the others had set a ban on opium in the Chinese world, and they paid 3.9 million yuan in total! This governor is really a businessman, and the price is higher, so the old man will be fine." When Li Pingshu looked at the clock, he immediately rang the bell like crazy and called for people to prepare a carriage.
By the time he and Li Xiehe arrived at Zhangyuan, there were already crowds of people. In Zhangyuan, there were five hundred soldiers from the Chinese Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army standing in a square formation, surrounded by representatives of various groups and organizations. The arrangement of the rostrum was still the same as last time, but the banner was replaced by "The Chinese Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army's oath-taking meeting"
Yuchen's mobilization for the speech was coming to an end. Chen Qimei stood behind his body in neatly dressed dress, wearing a ribbon on her body, and a smug look on her face.
"………………………This time we started the army, we revolutionary soldiers were determined to have the enemy without our own. We swear to sweep the stubborn enemy on our Chinese rivers with our flesh and blood! This commander has already issued a suicide note, either living to the day of the country's liberation, or dying in front of the enemy's formation, and there is no third way out!"
The applause and cheer sounded again, sweeping across Zhangyuan. Chen Qimei took a step forward and said loudly: "This governor represents three million citizens in Shanghai to give the flag to Commander Yu!" Two beautiful female students from the Chinese and Western girls' schools walked up in neat uniforms and handed a big flag to Chen Qimei. Chen Qimei solemnly handed the flag to Yuchen. Yuchen's young face was full of serious expressions, spreading the flag and waving it in the air. The flag was bright red, with four big characters on it "Shanghai Pioneer" on it.
With every wave of the flag, the cheers went higher and higher. Li Pingshu was dizzy and stood behind him a little uncertain. He whispered to Li Xiehe: "Go back, go back. I'll go find him later." At this time, he was really disappointed. The Resurrection Association's ten-year operation in Shanghai was pissed by the storm of the rain that was coming out of the sky, and it became a cake for paintings!
Five hundred soldiers selected by the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army sang songs and resisted guns. They marched neatly around the Chinese world, creating momentum for this expedition. Yuchen did not even miss this opportunity to make a fortune. There were dozens of soldiers behind the team, each of whom carried a wooden box with a note of "Patriotic Army Donation" posted on the box and accepted donations from citizens along the way. Citizens whose emotions were aroused to the highest point threw in money and ocean jewelry. After counting at night, they actually had more than 300,000 yuan in property.
Li Pingshu and Li Xiehe arrived at the front governor's office at noon. He was too lazy to even visit the new governor Chen Qimei. So he came to Yuchen to ask for an explanation. When he arrived, the inside of the bureau was already busy, with officers and soldiers coming and going, and from time to time, there were cavalry commanders passing by them with order documents. No one had time to pay attention to them. When they were welcomed into Yuchen's office room by the guards, they saw Yuchen and several regiment commanders and some staff officers of the staff office lying on the table and marking the map.
Li Pingshu coughed, and his eyes turned red when he looked at Yuchen. Yuchen raised his head, nodded to the two of them calmly, and said to the officers: "You carefully compile the train schedule and the shipping organization. Then I will ask Governor Chen for things. The first marching battle will be safer and more secure!"
As he said that, he took Er Li to the inner room. Before Li Pingshu could speak, he smiled and said, "Brother Pingshu, I am really sorry for this matter, and my brothers have no choice. Last night, hundreds of members of the Shanghai Advisory Bureau jointly recommended Brother Yingshi, and dozens of groups in Shanghai all recommended Brother Yingshi. Brother Yingshi only respects the people of Shanghai. He had to lift the burden on Brother Yingshi. Brother Pingshu knew that I understood me and knew that brothers were also devoted to the public, and there was no way to do it. If you want to beat or punish, you will admit it."
Yesterday, most of the members of the Shanghai Advisory Bureau were in my mansion! Li Pingshu almost yelled. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since there is nothing I can do about this matter, what else can I say? It's just that my brother paid 3 million military pay, and he asked Commander Yu to repay it. After experiencing this incident, my brother was already discouraged and wanted to settle the beginning and end and never ask about the world from now on."
Yuchen said oh, got up and went to find the check. He was still there to comfort Li Pingshu: "Brother Pingshu, you are the finance minister of the Shanghai Military Government! This is also what my brothers have won for you. The revolutionary cause requires great talents like Brother Pingshu to contribute. Why do you say discouraged words like this? Brother Pingshu is not worth it."
He took out a check and held it in his hand and smiled bitterly: "Originally, these are all public funds from the Suzhou-Shanghai Revolutionary Army, which is a war fee. It is difficult to take it out again, but it is not easy for brother Pingshu to fight for it. He fought hard and returned these... Alas, no matter what he said now, he is ashamed of his brother."
Li Pingshu snatched the check from his hand with a cold face. He looked carefully but it was not the one I had originally issued. It was the one I had issued for 1.5 million yuan Issued by the Liberation Bank. He waved the paper: "Where is half?"
Yuchen continued to smile bitterly, with an innocent expression: "Didn't your brother say it? This is already public funds. Brothers cannot raise it casually. But after the brothers' struggle, they said that one million and a half million were donated by Shanghai gentry merchants, so we can naturally collect it. There is another million and a half million that was raised by Brother Pingshu, and we cannot let Brother Pingshu suffer a loss. This is really a rare thing to raise it."
Who are you fighting with? Li Pingshu has completely lost his composure: "Yuchen, please stop playing these hooligan methods for me! When I ran to the world, you don't know where you are! Just hand over them all out today, otherwise I will never end up with you!"
His voice was high and fierce, and his hair was messy, and his red eyes seemed to want to pounce on Yuchen. Yuchen just smiled indifferently. When the curtain at the door was lifted, Lu Fengqiao walked in with a cold face and three or four guards, all of his hands were covered with the nose of the machine.
Li Pingshu laughed sternly and said, "You shoot! Shoot! Hit here!" Li Xie and hurriedly grabbed Li Pingshu, who was a little confused, dragged him out, and said to me in a deep voice: "Commander Yu, don't be too much. Everyone is a comrade, so leave some regression when you meet again." Yu Chen smiled slightly and said, "What kind of friendship do I have with Brother Pingshu? Brother Wuzhong can rest assured. Brother is about to go to the front line to fight desperately. There are still things that cannot be ignored. Everything is the important cause of restoration."
Li Xiehe sighed and dragged Li Pingshu, who was still scolding him, out. Yuchen held his arms and watched them leave, but just shook his head. He asked Lu Fengqiao, who was expressionless, "Fengqiao, what do you think of me?"
Lu Fengqiao stood at attention: "Report to the commander, you are shameless!"
Yuchen squinted his eyes and looked very calm: "Shameless is shameless, it is better than having no money..."
