Chapter 21 Emergency

The so-called Bank of China is the Bank of China in history, which was changed from the Bank of Qing Dynasty. In this time and space, Marshal Fang took action and stole the Bank of China's signboard.

The Bank of China claims to have a reserve of 20 million yuan. Are they treasury bonds issued by the provisional government? Or are they military bills? No one can figure this out. Anyway, no one believes that the Bank of China under the provisional government really has silver as a reserve.

.

Marshal Fang has no intention of taking care of all the commotions outside. As for power-on and quarrels, there are now a group of people under him who are responsible for this work full-time. The propaganda office led by Han Yan is doing this job. Originally Marshal Fang

I was going to call it the Propaganda Department, but after careful consideration, I realized that this could easily evolve into a mythical beast, so it’s better not to call it a department.

Today is different from what it used to be. Marshal Fang no longer has to worry about anything. Even for something as fatal as war, the people from the General Staff are responsible for it. Marshal Fang’s main job is to review documents and then go out for a walk.

Go to the grassroots level or something.

The battlefield of the Northern Expedition suddenly calmed down in the past two days. Fang Jianxiong and Song Hanzhang quietly returned to Anqing. Gu Heng had been waiting here for a long time on the dock. With Song Hanzhang taking over the Bank of China, Gu Heng's work focus returned to the Eurasia Group.

It’s just that the banknotes are going to be printed recently, so I went to Anqing to work on it for a few days.

The new version of banknotes, machines and engravings are all ordered from Germany. The banknotes include five cents, two cents, one dime, five cents, two cents, and one cent. These things are basically the result of copycats, and Fang Dashuai does not

If you know how to hurt your brain, just copy what is ready-made. After the silver dollar issued by the Bank of China was put on the market, the response was quite good. The United Autonomous Region Government immediately issued a decree that all kinds of old silver coins are not allowed to circulate in the market of the three provinces. All old silver coins are not allowed to circulate in the market of the three provinces.

If you have currency, please go to the Bank of China to exchange it into autonomous region currency issued by the Bank of China.

The patterns of these currencies were chosen because of a rush for time. The five-cornered pattern has Mount Tai on the front and a statue of Confucius on the north. The two corners and one corner are also the same, but replaced by the Yellow River, Zhangjiang, Mencius, and Laozi. It still reflects the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture.

Little did he know that this move would later become a law.

Walking in the factory area, with the roar of machines, and watching the process of turning paper into money, it was so exciting. Marshal Fang knew very well that this currency transaction was going to last for a long time. He had to have a gun to back him up. Yes.

Credibility is the foundation. Such activities as issuing money indiscriminately can only damage your own brand.

Therefore, after the inspection, Fang Jianxiong repeatedly warned that the credibility of the Bank of China is the first priority at all times, and do not think about issuing more currency at any time, otherwise the consequences will be irremediable.

In the financial industry, Fang Jianxiong is an absolute layman. Based on the principle that laymen do not interfere with experts, Fang Jianxiong will not interfere in financial work. But there is one thing that Fang Jianxiong knows. Inflation is too powerful. So after the inspection, he emphasized this

question.

After staying in Anqing for a day, Fang Jianxiong returned to Wuhu. Jiang Fangzhen acted quickly. The military academy in Wuhu was built and was just waiting to start. The first batch of 366 students was offered four subjects: infantry, artillery, surveying and mapping, and logistics.

.It should be said that this military academy is still in a very crude initial stage, so let’s just get it started first and then talk about it.

February 18th is the Lunar New Year. Young students from all over the country, in order to wait for the official start of school on March 1st and for the victory of the revolution, are all waiting in Wuhu without going home to celebrate the New Year. Fang Jianxiong, the commander-in-chief, naturally wants to

Go to visit and express condolences to everyone, and host and attend the opening ceremony.

On one occasion, Fang Jianxiong returned to Wuhu, intending to stay at home for a few days during the Chinese New Year. It was already the 17th, and on the afternoon of the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, Fang Jianxiong was riding the Navy's most powerful warship, the "Hairong", docked at the Wuhu Pier.

In line with the requirement of acting in a high-profile manner, many people knew about this trip back to Wuhu. The top military officials, Jiang Baili, the executive president of the Army University, and the commanders of the second and third divisions, Jenson and Paulus, all appeared on the dock to greet him.

The gentry who came up also came, beating gongs and drums, blasting firecrackers, lion dances, and marquees, making the scene very lively.

Marshal Fang is the pride of Wuhu. Wuhu and the surrounding counties can be said to be politically clear, with light burdens on the people and good incomes. When life is better, it is natural to miss Marshal Fang. The local gentry has cooperated with Marshal Fang.

The proportion of benefits gained is increasing day by day. It can be said that the local gentry around Wuhu are now grasshoppers on a rope with Marshal Fang. When Marshal Fang pours the plate, everyone follows suit. So, Marshal Fang goes home,

Everyone should express their opinions.

The two German guys stayed in Wuhu to look after the family, which was also forced. At present, it seems that Fang Jianxiong's center of gravity has moved westward, but in fact, most of his family's wealth is still in Wuhu. This is also one of the reasons why Fang Jianxiong sells out his interests. Wuhu is a place that is convenient for development.

, but it is tiring to defend. The key point is that this place is too close to Nanjing, and both sides are on guard against the other party suddenly going crazy and attacking. Fang Jianxiong placed himself in Wuhu, and the absolute main force was the second, three or two divisions. Nanjing was temporarily

The government left behind the absolute main force in Nanjing, including a division and a brigade under the First Army, as well as the ** division and local troops from Guangdong, as well as most of the Provisional Government's navy.

All in all, the backyards of both sides are too close. In terms of defense, Nanjing is mainly guarding against Wuhu. Basically, if Nanjing has some courage, it will not cause trouble to Wuhu.

At present, Jianxiong is going to use troops against Chongqing. No one can imagine it. Marshal Fang went home to celebrate the New Year in a high-profile manner, which is actually a big smoke bomb. The previous shouting of beatings and killings was not said to be unforeseen. This statement will probably wait until after the New Year.

Only then can it be fulfilled.

The warlords in various places no longer worry about this and are busy celebrating the New Year. The Northern Expedition front line is also peaceful. The provisional government does not celebrate the New Year, but the soldiers have to celebrate the New Year. So both sides have a tacit understanding, and on the occasion of the New Year, each

Line of defense.

After a lively greeting, Marshal Fang spoke to everyone. First, he thanked all the elders in his hometown for their love, second, he thanked the people for their support, and third, he thanked the National Defense Forces for their hard work. After thanking everyone, he wished everyone a happy New Year and an early New Year.

Not mentioned at all.

Then a group of reporters who were waiting in Wuhu wanted to interview, but Fang Jianxiong's guards were all in the way. Finally, the press spokesman Yin Ruizhi came out and made some remarks on behalf of the official. Anyway, they were all clichés.

Fang Jianxiong did not go home first, but went to the military academy outside the city to visit a group of cadets. On the way, he was discussing the military academy with Jiang Baili, and suddenly the car came to an emergency stop. Adjutant Duan Feng showed up running to report: "The urgent call we just received, Queen Mother Longyu said,

Even if there are no preferential treatment conditions, we decided to issue an edict to abdicate for the sake of peace in the country. Yuan Shikai urgently called the commander-in-chief and called for another tripartite meeting to determine the preferential treatment and clearing the house as soon as possible."

Fang Jianxiong really didn't expect this. He originally thought that holding on to the matter of clearing the house and abdicating unconditionally would make Lao Yuan blind. He never thought that such a thing would suddenly appear and defeat Fang Jianxiong's trick in one fell swoop. Don't

Giving up preferential treatment? This is so unreal.

Fang Jianxiong was not good at this, so he quickly sent a telegram to his teacher Sun Baoqi. While there was still time, he continued to inspect the military academy. Three hundred and sixty-six trainees lined up in neat formations to greet Principal Fang. This group of trainees came from two sources.

One is the preparatory class composed of Wuhan student soldiers, those with excellent test scores and those who jumped to resist the bridge. There are also the so-called related households, the gentry from various places who are more cooperative with the rent and interest reduction policy.

Children of the family get extra points when applying for military academies. Generally speaking, the vast majority of admitted students are elites selected from student soldiers from all over the country. Even if they don't pass the exam this time, it doesn't matter. They can continue in the preparatory class.

Study and wait for the next batch. You can also go to a short-term class that lasts for one year. However, those who graduate from this short-term class can only start as a squad leader. Those who graduate from formal studies for two years can start as a platoon leader.

Fang Jianxiong did not make a speech this time, walked around in a circle and left in a hurry. When he returned to the Wuhu garrison headquarters, a reply from Wuchang had arrived. After some emergency consultations, Sun Baoqi and others believed that this was Yuan Shikai's plan to retreat in order to advance.

The purpose is to gain sympathy after the Qing Dynasty expresses its stance, so as to silence the other two parties' insistence on the Qing Dynasty's unconditional abdication.

It is expected that there will definitely be a lot of articles in the newspapers these days to create momentum. There will definitely be a lot of articles about orphans and widowed mothers being forced. Sun Baoqi and others proposed three plans. First, insist on clearing the house and abdicating the throne unconditionally.

Reject the resumption of the tripartite talks. Second, agree to conditionally abdicate the throne and resume the tripartite talks. Third, call on the three parties to hold talks again and accept the conditions proposed by Yuan Shikai for preferential treatment of the clearance.

Historically, Yuan Shikai was most afraid of being accused of trying to seize the land of orphans and widowers. Objectively, Fang Jianxiong, the historical troublemaker, relieved Yuan Shikai's pressure in this regard. The Provisional Government's Northern Expedition was more powerful than in another time and space.

At least there will be no shortage of military pay. After the militiamen from various places in Nanjing arrived one after another, they stopped making trouble after being paid. They continued to arm themselves and went to the front line of the Northern Expedition.

Fang Jianxiong wanted to know Nanjing's attitude, but there were many people who were more anxious than him. Just after he saw Sun Baoqi's call, a call from Nanjing followed. Sun's analysis was similar to Sun Baoqi's, and he also judged it to be a delaying strategy. It seems that these people's minds are also

Not stupid, not bad at plotting or anything like that.

What Sun meant was that the Northern Expedition had just begun and should not be interrupted. Yuan Shikai called for the tripartite talks to be restarted, but the conditions must continue to be negotiated. In other words, Sun's meaning was similar to the second strategy of Sun Baoqi's call.

It should be said that this unexpected incident put Fang Jianxiong in a difficult position. He thought about it again and again, and finally called Sun back: The three-party talks can be restarted, but the preferential treatment of the house needs to be negotiated and agreed upon again. Yuan's previous statement was too absurd. Fang insisted on three parties.

The first is to move out of the Forbidden City, the second is to allocate annual funds to provide basic living expenses according to the needs of ordinary people, and the third is to make Nanjing the capital. (To be continued...)
