Chapter 98 Force Beijing
"Girl, how long have I been in a coma?" Wang Yi said to the two girls leaning in his arms.
"It's been half a month." Chen Yatou replied.
"It's been so long!" Wang Yi felt a little unreal. "What happened to Da Shang after I fell into a coma?"
***
A team of soldiers rushed in from the headquarters of Yingkou Dashang Yinlu. Not only did they surrounded the building, but they also rushed into the building without regard to the security guards' stop and threw all the guests in the hall.
Li Yuzhen had just put down the phone in his hand. He stood by the window, looked down at the look of calm.
A soldier cut off the telephone and wires from the Yinlu headquarters. Li Yuzhen frowned slightly when she saw this and said to herself, "What should be come, it's still here."
This kind of thing happened today in major major enterprises in Dashang, including Dashang No. 1 Steel Plant, Dashang Nonferrous Metals, Dashang Fushun Coal Mine, Dashang Benxi Coal Mine, Dashang Coal Chemical, Dashang Heavy Industry, Dashang Light Industry, Dashang Machine Tool, Dashang Electric Power, Dashang Teana, Dashang Ship, Dashang Culture, Dashang Electric Light, Dashang Train, Dashang Hardware, Dashang Petroleum, Dashang Petrochemical, Dashang World Telephone and Telegraph Company, Dashang Pharmaceutical...
Because Wang Yi had previously transferred all the troops stationed in the factory to support the Northeast Republic in fighting against Tsarist Russia's offensive, and the security of various places was subject to Chang Jinlong's Da Shang Logistics Patrol Team.
When Ming'an led people into Li Yuzhen's office, he followed Cui Xiao, deputy general manager of Dashang Silver Lu, and Li Yuzhen sat in his seat with no expression on the surface, but he sighed in his heart: "There is indeed a traitor in Dashang. He has tolerated it on weekdays, but now he has all rushed out."
Ming'an saw Li Yuzhen still sitting in the seat, without any intention of getting up, and he didn't care and said with a smile: "Still Manager Li, are you okay?"
Li Yuzhen laughed loudly and hurriedly got up, as if she had just seen Ming'an at this time, and said, "It turns out that he is General Jilin! I wonder what is the need for him to visit our store?"
Ming'an's subordinates saw Li Yuzhen getting up and raised their guns directly. Ming'an waved his hand and said, "It's all his own people." Then he smiled and said, "Yes!"
"For some reason?"
"Da Shang Silver Furnace!"
"all?"
"all!"
"Sir, I have a big appetite!" Li Yuzhen smiled.
Ming'an stood with his hands behind his back and smiled, "Not only your Dashang Silver Furnace, we want all the industries of Dashang Group! Now our soldiers have entered all the factories of Dashang. If you dare to resist, we will kill them all! I wonder how many of you Dashang people dare to sacrifice their lives like this, shed their blood, and fight against the court to the end?"
Li Yuzhen sorted out the documents on the desktop and asked casually: "Are you afraid that Wu Xiao and the others will send troops to kill your whole family?"
Ming'an smiled disdainfully and said, "Who doesn't know that most of the insurance team's troops are now in the northeast, and the court has issued an order to send angels to various camps of the insurance team. The court promises to not blame everyone for the past. As long as you submit to the court, you will be granted a high-ranking official and a generous salary and a wife and son. Wang Yi is no longer here, who will not be able to make a living with his future?"
"Oh? That's it!" Li Yuzhen picked up a cup of tea on the table, sat casually on the table, blew on Ye Mo on it, and suddenly said strangely: "Mr. Ming'an, I'm curious about something. How did you know that the chairman is gone?"
Ming'an smiled and said, "Vice President Cui."
Cui Xiao walked out and gave Li Yuzhen a small salute.
"So that's it. I didn't expect that Vice President Cui was actually from the court? How offended in the past..." Li Yuzhen bowed his hand with his fists.
Cui Xiao was a little ashamed at first, but he quickly raised his head and said, "This Qing Dynasty is the world of the court..."
Li Yuzhen didn't let him finish speaking, but interrupted directly, saying: "At the time when they were in the northeast, the Russians also believed that the northeast was their world!"
Ming'an raised his eyebrows and said, "Manager Li, what do you mean?"
Li Yuzhen suddenly became as deep as water and said coldly: "I just finished the phone with the chairman this morning. To be honest, the chairman is very angry... Lord Ming'an, maybe you don't know. My Da Shang's telegram does not need to be connected. We will know the news since you led the troops to leave Wula, Jilin. The chairman has not shown up, but is actually waiting for you!"
Ming'an was shocked when he heard this!
"Now Li Bashan's third cavalry division is advancing eastward, Vladivostok's fourth infantry division returns from Dongning, and the second infantry division stationed in Heilongjiang goes south. The court now has no Heilongjiang and no Jilin!"
"You will rebel but not!" Ming'an rushed to Guan furious.
Li Yuzhen was angry and said, "You are only allowed to seize the foundation of my business, so we are not allowed to fight back? Where is the reason for this?...Okay, Xiang Long, don't hide it anymore, take away all the people in the house!"
A group of insurance team members holding giant shields suddenly rushed in. Before Ming'an's soldiers could react, they were all pushed against the wall by giant shields. The black batons were hitting the group of people to the point of bleeding.
"You are so brave that you dare to rebel openly! The court will not let you go!" Ming An, who had been tied up, roared loudly.
Xiang Long walked into the house at this time. He was different from Li Yuzhen. He went up and looked at Ming'an with two feet, then shook his hand and made Ming'an's ears buzz. Xiang Long grabbed his front bra and cursed: "You old boy dare to send someone to assassinate our captain! He also joined forces with a group of ignorant things in the capital to seize the big merchants! It's really a fucking birthday star who hangs his life and long..."
"A traitor, once the king traitors, everyone will be punished!" Ming'an shouted. "Master, the Queen Mother will not let you go!"
Li Yuzhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't let them go!"
Xiang Long looked at Ming'an and sneered: "The Chairman was able to handle official business half a month ago. Why do you think it was delayed for the past half month?"
"You, you..."
"Tell you that the first and second cavalry divisions in the northeast and Mohe areas have already gone south and gone to the capital. I hope that your Queen Mother and the Emperor will not be scared by the sound of gunfire!"
Ming'an, who was already ashamed, was taken down. As for the soldiers he brought, all of them were dismissed at this time. After Xiang Long took them away, Da Shang Yinlu started working normally again, but there was a missing Vice President Cui and his team.
On the day the Qing court fought against Da Shang, Wang Yi suddenly appeared in front of others and openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Qing court through Da Shang Radio. At the same time, the truth and evidence of the entire conspiracy were announced to the public, and public opinion was in an uproar.
Cixi was watching a show in the palace, and Li Lianying was serving him. Li Lianying is only in her early thirties. As the fourth-rank Huasheng General Manager of Chuxiu Palace, her status is not below the General Manager of Jingshifang. It can be said that she has received deep favor in front of Cixi.
The little eunuch whispered a few words in Li Lianying's ear, and his expression suddenly changed. At this time, he did not bother the Empress Dowager's mood of listening to the opera, so he hurried to Cixi and said, "God of the Lady, all the ministers outside the palace are asking for a meeting..."
"What are they here to do?" Cixi felt strange, thought for a while, and said, "Xuan!"
"twitter!"
Not long after, Cixi watched a group of people running in in a hurry and thought to herself, "I'm going to force the palace to be forced to do so?" It's not like, could the foreigners cause trouble again?"
The leaders were Prince Gong Yi, Prince Chun Yihuan, Prince Li Shiduo, Prince Yili, Prince Yili, and the former minister of the Imperial Court, and behind them were Bao Jing, Weng Tonghe, Li Hongzao...Li Hongzhang...etc.
"See the Queen Mother!"
Cixi waved her hand and said, "You are so in a hurry, why are you?"
Li Hongzao came out at this time and said, "Report to the Empress Dowager, Wang Yi, chairman of the Dashang Group, rebelled in Fengtian and placed a large number of officials in three provinces under house arrest. Now he has led his troops south and has broken through the front line of Shanhaiguan in Jinzhou. The troops are heading straight to the capital. Please ask the Empress Dowager to decide!"
In terms of status, it was not his turn to speak, so Cixi frowned and didn't say much. She understood the reason at first. At that time, she was he and Weng Tonghe, and helped Qingliu, and Ming'an reported to collect Da Shang as state-owned.
When Cixi heard this, she was a little panicked, but as the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty, she acted very calmly and a little confused, and said, "Didn't you say he was dead at the beginning?"
In fact, at first Cixi didn't know who Wang Yi was. If it weren't for Li Hongzao and others who always mentioned it in the past month, she wouldn't have asked about it. In her eyes, Wang Yi was at most a businessman who made money. In terms of status, I'm afraid even the big shopkeepers of Shanxi Piaohao would not be able to match, and Hu Xueyan and Sheng Xuanhuai would be even more incomparable.
"This person pretended to die..." Weng Tonghe said at this time.
Cixi was a little strange. Prince Liu Gong Yi of the Japanese devils had not spoken, and so was Li Hongzhang. Others were making noises, and a group of princes had already knelt on the ground and cried loudly. I hope Cixi would take Guangxu to the west hunt, simply put, just run away.
Last time Xianfeng ran to Chengde, but this time it didn't work. People came from the Northeast. If you want to go to Chengde again, it would be like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Don't be called the Old Buddha, but Cixi was also called the Buddha of the Three Ages, but Cixi did not realize that she was a Buddha. The most fear was to go to the West.
"Sixth brother, what do you mean?"
Prince Gong Yi was angry when he looked at a bunch of clear streams. There was no you in this matter, and there was no you in wet. In recent years, the tax on talent has risen sharply, and Wang Yi should pay a penny. Even though there were rare droughts and locust plagues in North China two years ago, they tried their best to help. It was not like you, a group of people who had nothing to do after eating and had nothing to do, and they were experiencing bad water all day long.
"My brother is all decided by the Empress Dowager." After Ci'an died, Prince Gong was a man with his tail between his legs and did not dare to say much in front of Cixi.
Cixi snorted, turned to look at Li Hongzhang, and said, "Li Aiqing, what do you think?"
Li Hongzhang glanced at the surrounding ministers and said, "Report to the Empress Dowager, I am willing to go to Fengtian in person and ask Wang Yi to withdraw his troops and return."
Hearing this, Cixi finally showed some smile on her face and said, "Are you sure about me?"
"I only dare to say that I can do my best!"
Cixi nodded, she knew that no one dared to guarantee such a thing.
Li Hongzhang pondered for a moment, and then said, "Empress Dowager, please forgive me for being disrespectful before my ministers travel and ask for something from the Empress Dowager!"
"What?"
"Jilin General Ming'an's head!"
"Ming'an's head? Why is this?" Cixi immediately understood and said, "Could it be that this incident caused by him?"
Li Hongzhang bowed and said, "The Empress Dowager is wise! Three or four years ago, the Russians built military ports and coastal defense in Vladivostok, but they lacked steel bars and cement for construction. If these things were transported from Europe, they would be time-consuming and labor-intensive. They thought about purchasing and transporting from our country. When Russian businessman Andre heard the news, he came to Fengtian and asked Da Shang to buy these building materials. However, Wang Yi, chairman of Da Shang, thought that if the Russian military port was built, it would be a very threatening to our Qing Dynasty, so he refused."
"I didn't expect that Wang Yi was from a self-contained country, what happened later?"
"Later Andrei did not give up, so he ran to Fengtian to ask Yu Cheng, the younger brother of Yu En, who was then the Minister of the Ministry of Works of Shengjing, to come forward to talk about Xiang. After several conspiracies, Wang Yi was unmoved. Because Yu Cheng accepted Andrei's benefits and did not want to do anything, he returned the silver money for free, so he colluded with tax officials Yang Tieshan and Cong Fu. One of these two was the nephew of Yang Guinian, the co-master of the military rations of Fengtian Prefecture, and the other was the nephew of Ming'an, the minister of the Ministry of Justice of Shengjing at the time and was the nephew of Ming'an, the current general of Jilin."
Cixi listened silently.
Li Hongzhang continued: "The three men wanted to plot against each other because they saw the business of Dashang Steel Factory booming, and they were later blocked by Schroeder Cole, the director of Dashang Steel Factory at the time. The three men had no choice but to retreat to Fengtian and never thought of meeting the bandits halfway. The three men were defeated and all died. Since then, Jilin General Ming'an has a grudge. This matter was caused by his sending people to assassinate Wang Yi in Yingkou. If this person was sent, Wang Yi would not have done anything to rebel."
Cixi probably understood the reason, and then thought about it: "Li Aiqing, I heard that Mingan is now in Wang Yi's hands, this matter..."
"The Empress Dowager only needs to give a decree and give Wang a justification for killing Ming'an."
"If so, the Ai family will be approved!"
After Li Hongzhang left, Cixi scolded a group of Qingliu, including Li Hongzao and Weng Tonghe. These people now knew that they were being used as gun envoy by Ming'an, and they felt resentful.
The insurance team led the troops south this time. He had two cavalry divisions under him, with less than 30,000 people, and Chang Jinlong was responsible for the logistics. After the battle against Shanhaiguan, their marching speed decreased.
Wang Yi was not prepared to overthrow the Qing Dynasty now, because it would not benefit anyone, but instead it would only make foreigners cheaper.
Wang Yi never thought of getting rid of all the Qingliu who joined forces with Ming'an. The reason is very simple. Although these people only have the ability to speak, when facing the pro-ministered factions such as the Japanese Liu and Li Hongzhang, or simply the surrendered factions, Qingliu is their checks and balances. Otherwise, China will suffer greater losses in the upcoming Sino-French War.
