Ren Juan Family and Country Chapter 99 Where to Go

The accusations of the Hunan representative Roger made Zhang Wantian blush when he came to Hangzhou. He knew that the politicians were just a vest that could be replaced at any time, and the people were often forgetful. Although they could find problems by comparing newspapers from a few years ago with current newspapers, who would do that?

Ren Gong initially advocated constitutional democracy, but after 1898, it became republican democracy. After visiting America, he changed his monarchy. When the domestic constitutional trend rose, he turned to support constitutional monarchy. However, Cixi died and returned from Guangxu, changed her original intention and insisted on monarchy again.◎, this was just a change in the late Qing Dynasty. However, this dynasty first supported republican democracy, but now it has not been repeated again and promoted European socialism. Obviously, if others had changed like this, the people would have been tired of it, but they could tolerate the talented "masters".

Zhang Wantian got on the bus at Xiaoshan Airport for more than a young age. He met Ren Gong in the former Japanese concession. In addition to Xu Qin, the Japanese consul, who was with him, there was also a Japanese friend; a member of the Constitutional Kuomintang, a member of the House of Representatives, and Fumitaro Kashiwara. However, although Zhang Wantian was Ren Gong's confidant, he did not know his exact identity for the Japanese at the moment. On the spotless tatami, the man dressed in Western style was listening to his report with Japanese Consul in Hangzhou Yoko Mineyama.

"The Academy of Investigation and Suspicion is extremely concerned about the behavior of the State Bank in the stock market crash last year. Under the exaggeration of the newspaper, some representatives have already yelled that Zhang Xingjian should kill him." Zhang Wantian glanced at Xu Qin beside Liang Qichao. It was he who incited this public opinion, which made Zhang Kun extremely embarrassed and attacked. "Influenced by public opinion, most of the representatives of the Revival Society are now unquestionable. They no longer obey Yang Jingcheng as they were in previous representatives. If Zhang Xingjian’s defense was inappropriate in this question, they would agree with the proposal of the Kuomintang representatives. It puts great pressure on UnionPay to force them to remove Zhang Xingjian from the position of general office..."

On the day after Zhang Kun returned to Shanghai, more than 30 Kuomintang representatives jointly impeached Zhang Kun, accusing him of doing nothing and putting insults in the stock market crash. Under the dual pressure of internal and public opinion, the Investigation Institute had to summon Zhang Kun to Beijing for inquiries. Previously, when Zhang Kun met with reporters to refute the rumors, he also stated that he could resign as long as the Bank Federation approved it.

"So, Zhang Xingjian is likely to step down this time?" Liang Qichao, who had been listening carefully, asked with great emphasis, just like Futaro Kashiwara who had died two years ago. This is the most concerned issue for Japanese friends.

"Yes." Zhang Wantian nodded. "In the stock market crash, except for a small number of people, many representatives suffered heavy losses. Now everyone is pointing their finger at Zhang Xingjian. They are extremely disgusted with him because they are hard to understand the inside story."

"Oh..." Liang Qichao's face was a little dark. Although traditional Chinese medicine and penicillin suppressed the condition, his body was still unwell and hematuria continued. "There are representatives of the Jiyi Academy who are not aware of the inside story?"

"Even if the financial matter is in front of you, how can you tell me clearly if you are not a professional?" Zhang Wantian retelled Xu Xinliu's words. "Last year everyone was confused. Now someone came out and found the culprit, so of course they will attack him."

"That's true." Liang Qichao laughed. What the Chinese people are best at is following the crowd and attacking them. What they are most not good at is thinking calmly. Mobilizing emotions is a hundred times better than reasoning. "Who will take over Zhang Xingjian as the General Office of the China Banking Corporation?"

"It's very likely Chen Guangfu." Zhang Wantian said. "Now he is the vice president of the National Bank..."

When Zhang Wantian talked about Chen Guangfu, Kashiwara Fumitaro Ichimaki translated in Japanese. The consul in Hangzhou, Yoko Yoshio Mineyama, translated: "I would like to ask Zhang Sang, if Zhang stepped down, how much would Chen be appointed? What is your country's evaluation of this person?"

The question from a Japanese friend was not expected by Liang Qichao. They always collected as much information as possible to confirm the known content. Moreover, Chen Guangfu was not the object they were willing to accept, because he would inherit Zhang Kun's plan and launch a further attack on the yen. But Zhang Wantian did not know this. He recalled Xu Xinliu and others' evaluation of Chen Guangfu, saying: "Chen Guangfu is a Pennsylvania Business School in the United States. Like Zhang Xingjian, he is an old member of the Fuxing Company. At the time, Zhang Xingjian was in charge of Kanto Bank, and he was in charge of the OCBC Bank. Therefore, this person is afraid of knowing the international financial industry better than Zhang Xingjian. Although he is not as arrogant as Zhang Xingjian, his international financial background makes it more principled. If the cabinet wants to make the national bank accept unsecured construction bonds by changing the general office, he may be more persistent than Zhang Xingjian."

"Then..." Hearing that Chen Guangfu knew better about the international financial community, Fumitaro Kashihara coughed and said, "What does this person think about Japan and the Japanese yen? Do you understand?"

"This..." Zhang Wantian was just heard after all, and he used to be aware of philosophy and finance at Tokyo Imperial University, so he couldn't answer at all. Zhang Wantian did this, and Liang Qichao, who understood the ability of this disciple, waved his hand and asked him to go down. Then he said, "Kun Kashihara, since Zhang Xingjian is likely to step down, then the yen-splitting thing can be done, right?"

"This..." Fumitaro Kashihara wanted to speak but stopped. Seeing that Xu Qin, who was on the side of Liang Qichao, also left on the pretext, he said apologetically: "Liang Jun, the Japanese economy has been hit by the economic crisis. Zhang planned to run the yen, which was very harmful. If it is replaced and the original plan is terminated this time, the whole country will remember Liang Jun's move in mind."

The Japanese only talk about Ding but Mao, and Liang Qichao had to point out: "Kun Kashihara, squeezing the Japanese yen is just a way for Yang Jingcheng to bind Japan. I heard that many people in your country are willing to realize the Sino-Japanese fusion." Speaking of the Sino-Japanese fusion, Liang Qichao suddenly thought of the late Kang Youwei, the six gentlemen who were beheaded forty years ago, and sighed at the moment. Fortunately, he was holding tea. After drinking it, he said: "Even if he didn't squeeze the Japanese yen, how can your country resist Yang Jingcheng's other strategies in the future? I have always believed that it was a huge mistake for your country to accept the new Japanese in Beiting, which was equivalent to being tied up by China. After that, the trend was that your country gradually became a part of mainland China rather than an independent maritime country. In the future, this would definitely be more than worth the loss.

East Asia is like Europe, while Japan is very similar to England and Geely. Only Japan, which resists the unification of China, can gain real benefits from the division and confrontation of the mainland, not to mention that Britain, the United States and other countries are taboo to become bigger and stronger. Japan can just restrain China and become a bridgehead that never sinks. This is what your country really needs to do. What a pity! The politicians during your Meiji period have withered. If they were there, they would never agree to your country going deep into Central Asia."

Liang Qichao used two absolutes to express his lament, which made Fumi Kashiwara feel sad, but what can I do now? When Japan needed Omi's assistance, Omi stood by and gloated. Now it's better, China is getting stronger and stronger, and he wants to win over Japan and Japan, but he is already deeply involved in mainland affairs; and in China, the imperial police who followed the Revival Army to attack Tarizin were regarded by the people as heroes who expanded their territory, and Beiting became a place of hope and the new Japan in the future.

It is not Taiwan, not North Korea, not South Manchuria, it is a barren land with a population of more than three but only one million. The empire can immigrate there without being hindered, cultivated land, forests, minerals... which makes people ecstatic. How many Japanese can think calmly about this temptation? Even the international factions who resist the Sino-Japanese United Nations are afraid that they will not be able to give up the seemingly deserted new Japan, which is actually treasured countless treasures?

"Why is Liang Jun's good leader?" Fumitaro Kashihara thought about the thoughts of the current people in China. Then he asked Liang Qichao for advice.

"Give up the new Japan." Liang Qichao said, "Even if you cannot give up, you should allow it to be self-government or even independence to reduce its ties to the national policy of the empire. Only in this way can Japan be truly British and Geely, and can be at ease between Britain and the United States and the East Asian continent. China will be strong for a day. Japan will benefit both sides for a day, and wait for China to decline in the future. That will cut off the fertile coastal land like the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Of course, it is not incorporated into Japan, but Japan will help its independence and Japan will ensure their safety; all the inland poverty-stricken lands will be given to Russia. In this way, East Asia can form a pattern centered on Japan, which is the Great East Asia common prosperity that your ancestors have pursued throughout their lives."

Liang Qichao's suggestion was simply shocking. Fumi Kashiwara was stunned for a while before saying, "Is that true? Then... why..."

"Of course that's the case." Liang Qichao smiled, "There are two types of Sino-Japanese union states in China and Japan. One is that China obeys Japan, which is that the provinces become close to Japan after independence, and finally merge with each other; the other is what Yang Jingcheng is doing now. China is a whole, and Japan is just an island. No matter how the conditions for the unity are discussed, can you be stronger than a unified China? Even if Japan is given an equal status, China will ultimately dominate the affairs of the state.

No matter what you think, I am increasingly disappointed with this country. She is not moving forward but going forward, not progress but retro, not science but superstition, not democracy but ****. If this continues, she will eventually become a closed empire before the war. Therefore, the only thing that can save China is Japan standing on her opposite side, uniting Britain and the United States to stimulate her, and forcing her to stop this regression rather than regress with him. I hope Japan can help me complete this matter together, so that China can get rid of Yang Jingchengism and return to the right path."

Liang Qichao expressed his feelings directly, and Futaro Kashiwahara thought, then he held his glasses and said: "There are many Japanese pro-China people. They just don't want to be dominated by China and don't want to be enemies with China at all. If you want to help Liang Jun, I'm afraid..."

"What does Your Majesty the Emperor of Your Country mean?" Liang Qichao asked. For Japan, it doesn't matter what you think below, and what the Emperor thinks is the focus.

"This..." Fumitaro Kashiwara is just a member of the House of Representatives. How could he argue with the Emperor in front of Liang Qichao? He stuttered: "His Majesty the Emperor... Of course... I hope... the two countries are kind... to support... this..."

"Don't Your Majesty the Emperor know that Yang Jingcheng wants to annex Japan?" Liang Qichao said with a smile. "The conflict between the United States and Japan can be eased. Although there is confrontation between the navy, once it forms an alliance with China, the United States and Japan are mortal enemies. Japan cannot fight against the United States alone with its own strength, so it has to get closer to China. Like the new Japanese in Beiting, the Sino-Japanese Alliance Treaty is the second shackle for Yang Jingcheng to control Japan. If the alliance treaty exists for one day, Japan will be subject to China for one day.

But on the other hand, if Japan is close to Britain and France and is hostile to China, it will become the guardian of European, American and Asian colonies and existing interests, and then the whole game will be alive. However, Liang Qichao smiled at Fumitaro Kashiwara with deep meaning and said: "If your country wants to expand its territory, it will naturally be better to form an alliance with China. Maybe the two countries will be able to jointly send troops to restore Asia together."

Liang Qichao's guess of Emperor Hirohito's thoughts made Fumitaro Kashihara and Hangzhou Consul Meneyama Yuuo sweat all their backs. Fortunately, Liang Qichao only stopped. After he talked about the time in Tokyo in the past, the tense atmosphere was relaxed. After a moment, when he left, the two of them felt relieved.

Yoshio Mineyama said with some surprise: "Your Excellency, what Mr. Liang said is the root of all troubles in our country. If the situation does not change and allows it to develop, Japan will eventually become a vassal of China."

Yoko Mineyama is a Chinese Communist Party, graduated from the eighth session of the East Asian Tongwen Academy in Shanghai, and was the protagonist of the Sichuan class in Yunnan. More than 20 years of Chinese experience made him very familiar with this country. He continued: "Japan is not the most terrifying thing to be controlled by China. The most terrifying thing is that all the Japanese finally become Chinese. You are proud, Chinese culture has human and instinctive charm, and has the great power to dissolve other nations into its own cultural furnace and assimilate others.

Sometimes even other ethnic groups that conquered the Chinese nation by force will be scattered in the gaps of force, and the ubiquitous cultural toxins will be defeated and disintegrated. Jin, Mongolia, and Manchuria are obvious examples. These ethnic groups that conquered China are instead subdued and put into medicine jars of this culture. Japan must not steal mummies like the Manchus, but instead become mummies."

The metaphor of Mineyama Yoko's mummy made Fumitaro Kashihara laugh. What qualifications are Japan now qualified to be a mummy thief? Japan is obviously strongly suppressed by China, and the yen is one of them. If Japan had used warships to protest this, but now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can only warn without any pain, and even protest cannot be done.

Not wanting to think deeply about the Sino-Japanese relations that are increasingly subject to others, Fumitaro Kashihara turned to ask: "Minekun, what has Liang Jun been doing in recent years? What kind of help does he need from the empire?"

"In recent years, Liang Jun is organizing a new political party, the Democratic Socialist Party, to promote Kilt Socialism, but this has been sniped by the Sun family and the Anarchist Gay Society, so he hopes to gain the support of the empire." Mineyama Yoshio said.

"Kirt Socialism?" Fumitaro Kashihara was puzzled.

"It is British socialism, which advocates parliamentary struggles, not Russian-style violent struggles, and is therefore strongly criticized by the remnants of the Sun family and anarchists who were secretly supported by the Soviet Union..." said Yokoyo Mineyama.

"Can the Sun family's remnants and anarchists also operate in China?" Fumitaro Kashihara said, remembering that the Soviet Union had promised not to organize in China, Japan, North Korea and other countries.

"When the Yang family was in power, it was different for each province to do its own business... Guangdong and Guangxi were already the base camp of anarchist comrades, and the Sun family also ran a lot of newspapers in cities with many workers in Shanxi, Shanghai, and Liaodong. However, they all abide by the law in the Ming Dynasty and do not advocate violence. Liang Jun had nowhere to go, so he had to come to Hangzhou. Hangzhou has developed handicrafts, many workshop workers, and factory owners cannot implement a lifelong employment system, so..."

Yamauchi didn't want to waste his verbal talk on Liang Qichao. After finishing this topic, he said seriously to Fumitaro Kashihara: "Kun Kashihara, what Mr. Liang said is crucial to the future of the empire. Please find an opportunity to report to Your Majesty and all the ministers after returning to the country to change the national policy!"
