Chapter 30: The Crime of Breaching the Mission (sequence error in the previous chapter)

Yang Rui said it was very certain. In fact, what he could be sure of was that the First World War would definitely break out. The current Moroccan crisis is a sign. It is difficult to be sure whether the revolution can really succeed. Moreover, for Japan's profits in World War I, he only relied on his memory to make one billion yuan, but in fact it was more than that. Japan not only repaid the 300 million foreign debts it owed in the entire World War I, but also increased its foreign debt to as much as 1.7 billion yuan. In this way, Japan earned two billion yuan in World War I. However, Japan can earn two billion yuan, but China may not be able to do so. Excluding factors such as industrialization and the scale of workers, the key is whether Japan agrees to make money. After all, China sells goods to Britain and France at a high price, and sells goods to Britain and France at a high price. It is two different things to do with Japan selling goods to Britain and France at a high price. The result will depend on which step the revival will be able to achieve.

For modern Sino-Japanese relations, it was China's flesh and blood that nurtured Japan's monster. The Meiji Restoration only gave Japan the germination of industrialization. Shimonoseki's compensation made Japan's industrialization prototype. Then, in the war, Japan basically completed industrialization by reselling Chinese materials at high prices and seizing the Chinese market after Europe withdrew. But if China suddenly rose, the first thing to rush out to stop was Japan. During the war, China and Japan would have a war. Either the revival would accept twenty-one items like Yuan Shikai, or the two sides fought a war: China won, Japan's rise was interrupted, and it declined from then on; Japan won, and history developed as it used to be.

Of course, Yang Rui is not a historical researcher after all, and he cannot think of such a deep place. What he is thinking now is how to succeed in the revolution as soon as possible and how to prepare for a war technically. Although what he said makes sense, Xu Huafeng still looks serious. China has never had the habit of saying truth, but only talks about human feelings. Although Yang Rui's plan for the country is irreproachable, he has good medicine but does not cure diseases, which is contrary to the principles of nature and conscience.

The day after Yang Rui negotiated with Xu Huafeng, Chen Guangshou sent an emergency telegram. Yang Rui was surprised to see the word "Fan Li". After looking at the content carefully, he felt relieved. Fan Li was actually a code name, and he was one of the major wealth gods among the people, but at the Fuxing Society, he represented Zhang Kun from Kanto Bank.

"No, no, no, not to Qiufan, not to, so send a message to Hanzhang. It would be better for him to visit the US Consul General in Shanghai and say that Kanto Bank is an affiliated bank of Tonghua Railway Company, so that Americans can put some pressure on them to try to release people as soon as possible." Yang Rui explained. At the beginning, Wang Jitong and Cai Yuanpei's membership of the Revival Society were exposed, but he owed Yu Huizu an explanation.

Yang Rui's telegram was sent to Yu Huizu, but Yu Huizu was still angry at this time. The day after Wang Jitong's accident, Yu Huizu stayed behind closed doors to thank guests except for going to the hospital to visit everyone. He only felt that he had been deceived. Yang Rui, Wang Jitong, Zhong Guangui and others did not believe him at all, and even Ade knew it earlier than him. Although Wang Jitong told him everything on the morning of the accident, he hoped that Yang Rui would explain to him personally, and Yang Rui was in the northeast, with the name of Wang Qinian, and wanted portraits were hung everywhere in Liaodong. Before this influence was completely eliminated, it was absolutely impossible to leave the northeast. Therefore, the final result was that Yu Huizu ignored official duties and entertained himself every day.

"Hanzhang is still not seeing guests?" Cai Yuanpei asked. He was unharmed at the front row at the beginning, and Huang Zhongyu hugged him and cried when he went back. Now Wang Jitong is recovering from his injuries, and he is in charge of the matter in Shanghai.

"Yes. I knocked on the door but still didn't open it, it was the same as last time." Mu Xiangyao said.

"Then I'm going to go in person." Cai Yuanpei received the telegram and stood up, and was about to go out.

"Sir. I'm afraid it won't work. His doorman Agui said that no one would open the door except Mr. Jingcheng and Mr. Xianxian." Mu Xiangyao Yu's mansion has been to Yu's mansion many times, but he always refused to let him in. The doorman's telegram was not collected, and he stuffed it in and threw it out.

Cai Yuanpei thought of this, but now something happened to Anton, he knew the importance of Fan Li. "I have to climb in even if I climb. Let's go."

Yu Huizu's mansion was also built on Baochang Road in the French Concession, just like other rich people. Cai Yuanpei was still stopped by the doorman when he arrived at the door. He said that the master was not seeing the guests. Cai Yuanpei had an idea and said that he was Yang Jingcheng. After the doorman asked for instructions, he opened the small door and welcomed him in. Yu Huizu was already waiting in the living room, but when he saw that it was Cai Yuanpei, his face immediately changed and he said unhappy, "Jiemin, you are a teacher, why do you learn from the little sluts to coax people like you."

Cai Yuanpei had long guessed that he would scold him and said indifferently: "As long as you can see Brother Hanzhang, no matter how ugly I am, Cai Yuanpei, can recognize me."

Seeing him like this, Yu Huizu angrily put the teacup he was holding on the table. Cai Yuanpei was not surprised or angry, and sat down directly, then took out a newspaper from his arms, "Brother Han Zhang, see who this is?"

Yu Huizu glared at him and waited for it to be taken. He was shocked when he saw it. This was a Chinese man wearing a big Russian felt hat with long hair covering his face and a shaved beard. He was very vicious, but his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Yang Rui. He looked next to him again and wrote: Wang Qinian, a giant gangster in Liaodong, killed people and robbed people, and was unforgivable. He rewarded 10,000 taels of silver to arrest him. If he hid, the crime would be the same...

"This is..." Yu Huizu asked after reading it.

"This is what happened." Cai Yuanpei knew that if he didn't explain it to him, he might be unable to get rid of the depression, so he could only violate the discipline.

"What!!" Yu Huizu was shocked. Wang Qinian was a famous bandit for helping Russia. Whenever everyone in Shanghai mentioned this person, they said that it was a misfortune of the country and this traitor appeared. Who would have thought that Wang Qinian was indeed regarded as a patriotic hero by everyone, which made Yu Huizu shocked him.

"Brother Hanzhang, please sit down first and wait for me to come one by one." Cai Yuanpei hurriedly comforted him, and then turned his eyes to let Mu Xiangyao go out of the door to prevent the wall from being separated.

After everything was done, Cai Yuanpei said: "Brother Hanzhang, I was afraid that I really couldn't come. Now such portraits are everywhere in Liaodong. Although the Qing court did not paint the Japanese, there were Japanese detectives everywhere in Fengtian Wharf, the main roads and stations. Just two months ago, I was almost killed by the Japanese detectives. Fortunately, I was very lucky, but my ears were deaf. It was not that I didn't want to come, but that he couldn't come; Xianhua was also tired and sick in Germany some time ago and vomited blood..."

When Cai Yuanpei talked about Yang Rui, Yu Huizu's face became uncomfortable. He was relieved when he heard that Yang Rui was fine. Now he heard that Zhong Guangui vomited blood and hurriedly said, "Ah! Xian Qianhe..."

"Don't worry, Brother Hanzhang, Xianshan is no longer hindered. As long as you take good care of it, you can do it." Cai Yuanpei comforted, "The Revival Association was initiated by Jingcheng when he refused Russia the year before yesterday. Xianshan, Zixun, Xiao Xu, and me, joined the association one by one. This is definitely not for one's own selfish interests, but it was just that I was fighting for my country and the country was in danger of destruction. At the beginning, Jingcheng and others wanted to invite you to the association, but they thought there would always be someone coming out to socialize. None of them were juren, and they were worried that once they joined the association, there would be a beheading disaster. Brother Hanzhang's family would be prosperous. If they were really... then everyone would be uneasy."

Cai Yuanpei explained the truth, but Yu Huizu was still angry, "If you don't let me join the society, can you prove that I am not a revolutionary party? As soon as the last march happened, everyone said that I am also a revolutionary party. Even if I don't let me join the society, I have to explain it to me clearly. Oh, okay, you only wait until the big thing is about to be held, and then I will tell me: I am a revolutionary party... I just explain to me like this? What do you think of me? Alas, Jimin, I am so miserable!"

"Yes. Yes. We are too young and we are not good at dealing with things. Please, Brother Han Zhang, please do it." Seeing him complaining, Cai Yuanpei quickly stood up and bowed. However, he felt relieved and felt that Yu Huizu's anger began to fade.

After Yu Huizu complained, he said, "Also, what happened to this giant Liaodong bandit? He has become a thief as his father."

"No. I will never recognize the thief as my father." Cai Yuanpei immediately said, seeing Yu Huizu's expression slowed down. He said, "Japan and Russia, one tiger and one wolf, are both greedy for the plump land of our northeast. It is the same for helping Russia fight against Japan and Japan fight against Russia. It has become a revolutionary plan, and it can only be to vote for Russia to strengthen our power..."

"Just wait until the Russian-Japanese war is over, we will rise up outside the pass to fight against the Qing Dynasty?" Yu Huizu couldn't help but interrupt.

"No." Cai Yuanpei shook his head and said, "The soldiers outside the pass only guard the pass, but do not attack the pass. This is to protect our rights and interests outside the pass. Once the Northeast raises an army, Japan and Russia will definitely help the suppression. Even if the Manchu and Qing Dynasty don't help the suppression, they will also threaten me with many benefits, so we cannot raise the military outside the pass."

After saying so much, Yu Huizu finally nodded after hearing this. He was actually not an old-fashioned person. He had been to Japan after the Gengzi. Since Zhong Guanguang invested in Northeast China, he has been very concerned about the local situation. Not only did he read the diplomatic newspapers run by the Commercial Press, but even the foreign newspapers were also translated to him. He knew very well what Japan and Russia were. He also knew why the Tonghua Railway Company introduced Americans before. Now that the Russian-Japanese War has ended, the four forces in the Northeast will be intertwined, and anyone who acts blindly will be suppressed by the other three parties. If the revival will rashly raise an army, it will not be a puppet of the foreigners, but it will be another Hong Xiuquan.

"It's still a general idea." Yu Huizu said affirmatively, "But... hey, it's not your fault. It's hard for you!"

Cai Yuanpei's heart was sore that his eyes were sore. Yes, it was really difficult. Everyone can get through the situation today, but even so, there is no large scale in the pass. It is still a long way to go for the success of the revolution.

"You go and tell me, I want to join the association," Yu Huizu said word by word.

"What? Han Zhang?" Cai Yuanpei said in surprise. He did not expect Yu Huizu to join the association.

"Just tell him that I want to join the Revival Society," Yu Huizu said again, "I was completely unwilling to see this last march. The court lost power and humiliated the country outside, admired the foreign countries and favored the outside world, and was cruel and tyrannical, poisoning the world without revolution. Since everyone has already done it, let's do this, build a new court, take back all the lost rights and interests, and drive out all the bad foreigners. Revitalize the power of our great country!"

"Great! Brother Hanzhang... Alas! Good!" Cai Yuanpei worked on Yu Huizu's job, and saw that he was determined to join the association, and was very happy. However, thinking of the special nature of Yu Huizu's identity, he said, "Brother Hanzhang, I welcome you to join on behalf of the Fuxing Society. But your identity is special and you often have to deal with the Qing officials, so it is better to keep it confidential. Besides, Xiao Xu has always appeared as your document before. To be careful, it is better to expel him here. As for the senior officials in the court, I should do some more things for this."

Cai Yuanpei said that he was very concerned about Yu Huizu's thoughts. For Wang Jitong, he had already been rumored among the gentry that he had been careless in employing people and mistakenly interfering with bandits. As for the officials of the current dynasty, he had always had a lot of management. "Well, I will do it according to yours, but where will I join the association?"

"You will know when you come to Longmen Inn in the evening." Cai Yuanpei smiled. Suddenly he remembered the previous telegram and said, "Yes, yes. There was a major incident outside the customs. Zhang Kun, the general manager of Kanto Bank, was arrested by the Japanese soldiers. He actually asked you to find the US Consul General in Shanghai. It would be better..."

As soon as something happened outside the pass, Yu Huizu stood up and asked anxiously: "When did it happen? Why did the Japanese arrest people?"

"The telegram from Northeast China just arrived," Cai Yuanpei said, "I said that the General Office of the Kanto Bank was suspected of fraud and had any crimes against the task. In the morning, Zhang Kun was taken away."

Before Cai Yuanpei finished speaking, the telegram was snatched away by Yu Huizu. Zhang Kun knew that it was a pretty good young man. He had managed the money printing factory in an orderly manner. He read the telegram and shouted out: "Agui. Get the car!"

The most crime of fraud and the crime of disobeying tasks are both crimes in Japan. The crime of fraud is fraud, and the crime of disobeying tasks is a bit difficult to understand. It seems to mean dereliction of duty. However, Kanto Bank is not a Japanese bank. So what is the duty? Zhang Kun was locked in a small room. He kept thinking about the two charges he was accused of, and he felt it was very fun. A Chinese would be said to be dereliction of duty by the Japanese.

When the bank had just gone to Caishen Temple Street in the morning, a team of Japanese soldiers with live ammunition surrounded him. The black bodyguards felt irritated when they looked at the large number of Japanese people, but their responsibilities were still in a group to fight hard. At this time, Saburo Okabe, the Consul in Anton, came out to speak, saying that he had something to do, and asked Mr. Zhang to go out for a talk. Zhang Kun was not fooled, and said that he would say something here. At this time, the black-faced Tatsuma Huitong jumped out and said that if he didn't go to talk, he would shoot. No matter how many bodyguards had, they could not bear it with the army. Thinking of the huge gap in troops between them, Zhang Kun told Bai Siwen to follow the Japanese. However, after he was arranged to sit in this room, no one cared about him.

When his belly was burning with hunger at noon, the door was pushed open heavily, and Gao Shanhuitong, with a fierce face, walked in. He did not talk to Zhang Kun, but only said Japan to the outside of the door, and two short Japanese soldiers dragged a man covered in blood and extremely smelly. Then he lowered his head, Gao Shanhuitong whipped hard on the man's head, and said in words that he couldn't understand: "Look up, look up, look up, look." As he said that, he whipped several more whips.

The man seemed to be half dead, but Gao Shanhuitong thrust hard, then he raised his head with difficulty, looked at Zhang Kun in a daze, and then lowered it again. Gao Shanhuitong saw that he was like this, without a whip, kicked him a few times. The man raised his head strongly again after suffering pain, and only looked at Zhang Kun for a while before he drooped his head. Gao Shanhuitong saw that his goal was achieved, and waved his hand to drag the man out.

"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing?" Gao Shanhuitong sat down. He seemed to like to put his broken hand in a conspicuous position to show his achievements.

"Me? Haha, I run a money shop." Zhang Kun only felt that there was something in the Japanese words and became very alert.

"No! No! Mr. Zhang, he is not a money shop, he does this." Gao Shanhuitong said, then grabbed the Japanese military ticket from his arms and smashed it heavily in front of Zhang Kun.

Zhang Kun had long guessed that the reason for the arrest was a fake military ticket, but he was in a swaying state, his face remained motionless, and his smile became even brighter. He picked up a military ticket and said, "Mr. Gaoshan, isn't this your military ticket for Japan? The Qian Industry Guild in Shanghai does not recognize this, but it is not a business."

When he heard Zhang Kun say that he did not manage Japanese military tickets, Gaoshanhuitong was whipped on the table with a whip. That time he surrounded Anton's New Year's Guild, causing QuanAnton to slap the market, which caused criticism from the British and American consuls, and was scolded by his superiors. The matter was not done and caused trouble. It really made the proud Gaoshan look like a shame. Zhang Kun in front of him was the culprit.

"Mr. Zhang, your money house will be closed soon, and you will be shot by the Japanese Empire soon. Haha." Gao Shanhuitong was intimidating and staring at Zhang Kun to look at his expression carefully.

"Is that?" Zhang Kun said lightly. Since the last time the Gaoshan Association was held for the New Year, he knew that this person was a fool, and he looked down on such a person at all. He was afraid, but if he showed his fear in front of this fool, he would not die. Have you ever seen a cat beg for mercy in front of a mouse?

Zhang Kun's ignorance made the proud Gao Shantong extremely angry. He could read something from Zhang Kun's eyes. He had seen this thing in the eyes of those top students when he was in school. This was what he hated the most. He picked up the table and slapped it. It was not until the door outside was knocked and a sentence of Japanese came in that he stood up, glared at Zhang Kun fiercely before leaving.

"Your Excellency." The arrogant Takayama Hoshito changed his appearance when he saw Saburo Okabe, and he was extremely respectful.

"What's wrong with him?" asked Saburo Okabe.

"He...he said nothing." Gao Shanhuitong only cared about showing off his power and did not ask a few questions at all.

"Oh." Saburo Okabe pondered. The person who brought into the room just now was a fake military ticket slayer. In the past month, many fake military tickets have appeared in various parts of North Korea and Fengtian. These military tickets are printed very realistically and cannot be distinguished by non-professional personnel. Moreover, the cost of military tickets is not for profit. Among the fake military tickets, there are the most small denominations such as 50 yuan. As soon as the fake military tickets are released, Japan attaches great importance to them. In fact, the money is not enough. In addition to foreign debts, nearly 500 million yuan of military tickets have been issued (including North Korea). If the credit of the military ticket collapses, Japan will not have 500 million yuan in cash to make up.

The Japanese began to think that it was made by the Russians, but after investigation, they found that the fake military tickets were basically flowing into Fengtian from Andong, Yingkou, and Shanhaiguan. In addition to Yashan, most of the fake tickets also flowed from Fengtian, not from Harbin at all. In doubt, through horse bandits and spies everywhere, the Japanese quickly arrested a group of vendors selling fake military tickets. Under severe punishment, they asked for a leader. The leader who was dragged in just now was the leader. However, Zhang Kun had already washed his hands very clean. He used the Fuxing Club to recruit a group of North Korean bandits to distribute fake military tickets everywhere, but he didn't contact them at all.

Seeing Okabe Saburo thinking about the problem, Takayama Huitong heard that the North Korean did not know Zhang Kun, and he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, what should I do now? Will I be punished? I believe that as long as I torture is used, the Qing people will..."

"No. Takayama." Okabe Saburo was a little annoyed about this fool, "He was a powerful person in the Qing Dynasty, and there was no definite evidence. Once we used torture, except for the Qing Dynasty, the ministers of other countries would definitely protest like the government."

"But..." Gao Shanhuitong couldn't understand the major affairs of current affairs. "I believe that a top-notch person like him is very afraid of death..."

Saburo Okabe still shook his head. This person's network of relationships was connected to Prince Qing in Beijing, while the United States was connected to the United States. In addition, he was originally from Zhejiang and had close ties with the Qianye Association in Shanghai. Once he was tortured but no evidence was obtained, not only would the Japanese government passively, but he would also be scolded by the country and resigned early and returned to China.

"Your Excellency, the American Minister has sent someone to send a letter." The assistant outside shouted.

"Well. What did they say?" asked Saburo Okabe.

"The American Consul said he was very concerned about this case and he hoped to know the details of the case."

"Baga. The Americans will point fingers. The last time they were the first to think of us to protest." Although Gaoshan Huitong was a fool, he still felt so painful to eat and beat him. "If there were no American intervention last time, Anton's merchants would have accepted the imperial military tickets long ago. And Zhang Kun, he is the backstage of Anton's merchants. If he could accept the imperial military tickets this time, those merchants would also accept the military tickets immediately."

"Takayama, do you think he is a coward?" asked Saburo Okabe.

"Your Excellency, a rich man like him will be scared whenever he sees blood. If he goes to the execution ground, he will probably be scared. He must be a coward!" Gao Shanhui stayed in the army for a long time, thinking that he was still a little accurate in looking at people.
