He Xin thought that Qiao Yu would at least be accommodating and give him a little face for this agreement, but it turned out to be of no use at all, and He Xin's face suddenly became ugly.
"Qiao Shunqing, I am the official co-president appointed by the imperial court. Don't you even have any personnel power? Then you might as well be the one!"
"He Xin, let me advise you if you are honest and can still stand in front of this association, otherwise you can get out of here. If you really use yourself as a toy, I will not be responsible for any misunderstandings!"
While Qiao Yu was speaking, several guards behind him gathered around him. They had already taken out the box cannons in their hands. He Xin had no doubt that these people would put bullets into his body. Only now did he realize clearly that the man in front of him seemed to be
The harmless young man is also a ruthless person. He destroyed Tiangang Village, crippled the Ge Laohui, and incorporated the patrol camp. Now he has nothing but a reputation. He is undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg. When he wakes up, He Xin
With difficulty, a smile appeared on his face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll take my leave!"
He Xin left the school in dejection. Qiao Yu looked at He Xin's short and fat back, both funny and helpless. This is the characteristic of Chinese officials at this time. They are good at fighting outside and fighting inside inside. They run away at the first sight of rebellion.
Now I think I want to gain benefits by becoming a colleague. Maybe this person will report to the superiors after he returns. However, Qiao Yu is not afraid of his little tricks at all. Now that the road protection movement is brewing, who else has it?
Focus on yourself.
Qiao Yu's idea was all right. After He Xin returned, he immediately reported to the current acting governor Wang Renwen, hoping to use Wang Renwen's power to suppress Qiao Yu. However, it was a pity that Wang Renwen did not respond at all. This Wang Renwen
It turned out that he was the governor-general of Sichuan. Since both the governor-general and the governor of Sichuan were held by the same person, Wang Renwen was actually the number two figure in Sichuan. He was expected to succeed Zhao Erxun as the governor of Sichuan and become a governor-level executive.
When they found out that Zhao Erxun was here and would not shy away from relatives, Wang Renwen's wish suddenly came to nothing.
Now that Zhao Erfeng has not returned from Sichuan, the Sichuan Governor is temporarily represented by Wang Renwen. This man is unhappy and has adopted a conniving and encouraging attitude towards the road protection movement. How can he care about He Xin's trivial matters? Moreover, Wang Renwen also
Unexpectedly, all the power in Chongqing would fall into the hands of Qiao Yu. Those officials would become decorations, and the officials in Chongqing did not dare to admit it easily. Otherwise, if Qiao Yu did not overthrow him, they would be dismissed first.
When He Xin saw that he had no way to deal with Qiao Yu, he had no choice but to become a sick patient and then resign. Soon the position of Xie Tong fell into the hands of Qiao Yu. There was no longer any restraint in Chongqing, so Niu Chuanshan simply acted like an ostrich.
Also look for opportunities to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
Just as the right-of-way issue was becoming more and more lively, Qiao Yu received a guest from Chengdu. It was Luo Lun, the deputy speaker of the Sichuan Consultative Bureau and the major shareholder of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway Company.
Looking shrewd and capable, Luo Lun and Pu Dianjun decided to go to Chongqing in person to persuade the gentry and businessmen in Chongqing to support them after discussion.
When they were carving up the interests of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway, Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun and others excluded many wealthy businessmen from Dongchuan, such as the Qiao family, the Bai family, and the Wang family. Now these people are the leaders of the Chongqing business community, and they are no longer involved.
Products from Chongqing have already entered the Chengdu market, and Luo Lun also knows that the power of Chongqing's business community is not what it used to be, and he must win over them. Only by gaining their support can he achieve his goal of kidnapping the people of Sichuan and forcing the Qing government to make concessions.
In his heart, Qiao Yu hopes that the road protection movement can be launched. Only in this way can he have a chance. From the bottom of his heart, Qiao Yu despises Luo Lun's character. You have squandered the people's blood and sweat, and now there is a problem and you deceive the people.
Coercing the common people to confront the Qing court, plunging Sichuan into chaos. There is no doubt that Luo Lun and others are selfish, but by chance, they accelerated the demise of the Qing court, but this cannot wash away their sins.
.….
But now Qiao Yu still hopes to make them quarrel, so he and his uncle Bai Kuan received Luo Lun and treated him warmly. Luo Lun seemed very emotional: "President Bai, Qiao Xietong, Chongqing's city is now in good shape, and business and trade are prosperous, especially Li.
The goods of the Min Textile Factory, Danfeng Match Factory, as well as the noodle factory, cement factory, and garment factory are all sold to Chengdu. It is really a good thing that benefits the country and the people. As Chongqing business leaders, their hard work and achievements are really admirable!
"
"President Luo is very commendable. As the leader of the Sichuan Constitutional Party, Speaker Luo works tirelessly to implement constitutional government, which is very admirable!"
"Oh, it's just a waste of work. In the end, the Manchus and nobles are in power. How can we Han people be favored by others? Let's talk about Mr. Zhang Jian, who is running around for industrial things and can't even enter the cabinet. It's really
It’s so chilling!”
"President Luo doesn't have to be like this. In fact, the Manchu nobles in this cabinet, such as Yi Kuang, Na Tong and others, still advocate innovation. They are not blindly conservative. It seems that the world still has a lot to do. Besides, it will change in the future. It can't just be
These people! Maybe Speaker Luo still has a chance!"
Luo Lun originally thought that talking about the royal cabinet would arouse Qiao Yu's anger. When the time comes, they share the same hatred with the enemy and it would be convenient to say anything. However, Qiao Yu was not fooled at all, so Luo Lun had no choice but to continue to test: "Qiao Xietong's words are ridiculous.
, even though they have taken out the cabinet, the final decision is still made by the Regent Zaifeng. They will never give the Han people a chance, and these people are greedy. Now they have set their sights on the Sichuan-Han Railway. Since ancient times, the Shu Road
It’s hard to do this. The Sichuan-Hankou Railway is the lifeblood of us Sichuan people. Now it’s being sold to foreigners by the Qing government. How can we survive? Thinking of the suffering of the people, my heart feels like it’s been plucked out!”
Luo Lun shed some tears as he spoke. It seemed that he would become a movie star in later generations. Qiao Yu felt more and more ashamed of Luo Lun's actions, but now he still wanted to use them, so he comforted him: "President Luo has served the country well."
We all see it in our eyes to serve the people, and the court’s approach is indeed inappropriate. Whatever you need us to do, we will do our best to cooperate!”
When Luo Lun heard what Qiao Yu said, he immediately became happy: "On behalf of the people of Sichuan, I would like to thank Qiao Xietong, President Bai. We are going to launch a peaceful petition and let the court see the unity of the people of Sichuan.
I think the imperial court can retreat when faced with difficulties. The key is that all of Sichuan must be united as one. I hope that Dongchuan can be like Xichuan by then. Everyone will act together to build momentum! In addition, the press and generals must also be mobilized.
The despicable face of the Qing court has been exposed, and all knowledgeable people in the world have come forward. I wonder if Qiao Xietong can help!"
Qiao Yu smiled slightly: "President Luo, don't worry, the industrial community in Chongqing is also a part of Sichuan. Everyone prospers and loses. Moreover, we also control several newspapers. We are just waiting for Speaker Luo's order.
We can mobilize, but I have a few words to say. The first is to ensure peaceful petitions and to avoid bloody conflicts. Second, our external trade routes in Chongqing must remain open and cannot be affected. We must also rely on
Speaker Luo is messing around!"
Luo Lun immediately nodded in agreement, and the two parties discussed some details. Luo Lun hurried back to Chengdu to continue preparing for the great cause of fighting against the Qing court.
