1656. Chapter 1656 Flickering hard (seeking monthly ticket)
When Ye Qijie came to the backyard, Fu Zuoyi was already waiting.
"Brother Xinwu." Fu Zuoyi frowned and asked, "Do you think there is still a chance?"
Ye Qijie shook his head and said: "Sir, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is very difficult to persuade Xu Rui to change his mind. You also heard what he said just now. This guy still wants to rely on Gui.
The commercial tax authorities of Sui and Wuchuan counties have formed an army of ten thousand cavalry, how can they return the territory to us?"
When Fu Zuoyi heard this, he showed a fierce look in his eyes and said: "In this case, there is no other way."
As the commander of an army, Fu Zuoyi's success today is definitely not based on mercy, but on his determination to kill. Therefore, he did not say these words casually, but he really had murderous intentions.
"You must not sit in the main seat." But Ye Qijie was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly and said in panic, "You must not do this!"
Fu Zuoyi snorted, frowned and said: "As long as there is still some room for redemption, I am not willing to kill anyone, but besides killing Xu Rui, do you have any other options?" After a pause, Fu Zuoyi said again, "If you want to,
Today is the best opportunity to kill Xu Rui. No matter what, a drunkard cannot resist."
Ye Qijie waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Chief, please don't forget that there are still wolf fangs outside! If we kill Xu Rui, how can the wolf fangs outside be able to let go? The troops currently stationed in Baotou City
, there is only one regiment of the newly formed 31st Division, but please forgive me for speaking bluntly, this regiment is by no means a match for Langya."
Ye Qijie's implication was that they had absolutely no chance of winning in a fight.
Fu Zuoyi shook his fist in annoyance and said dullly: "Why don't we say that Xu Rui is difficult to deal with? If I had known that this guy would choose to negotiate with us in Baotou, I shouldn't have treated the main force of the 101st Division
Transferred to Yuquan near Guisui, if there are 101 divisions here, how can I shrink back?"
Speaking of this, Fu Zuoyi was really full of resentment.
After Xu Rui left without saying goodbye, Fu Zuoyi believed that Xu Rui would not easily start a war, but he also took precautions, especially the main force of the 101st Division was transferred to Yuquan County to cooperate with Wei Jingyun's command to blockade if necessary.
Guisui, but he never expected that Xu Rui would be waiting for him in Baotou.
By the time I received a call from Xu Rui, it was too late to call back the main force of the 101st Division.
Because it is not that easy to mobilize a large army, it can really affect the whole body.
This also indirectly led to the lack of troops in Baotou. Fu Zuoyi and Ye Qijie have only now come to their senses. Xu Rui had planned all this. This guy is really not that cunning. He seems to be riding alone to the meeting.
It was quite risky, but actually it was very safe. They didn't dare to do anything to him at all.
Fu Zuoyi frowned more and more and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Ye Qijie hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "The only way is to try this method."
Fu Zuoyi made a soft sound and asked: "Brother Xin, tell me quickly, what can you do?"
Ye Qijie pondered and said: "Chief Commander, didn't Xu Rui just say that he is planning to form a legion of thousands of cavalry? We may be able to make an issue of this."
Fu Zuoyi said anxiously: "The question is how to make a fuss?"
Ye Qijie asked Fu Zuoyi: "Before I tell you what to do in this article, I would like to ask the president a question. In your heart, which one is more important, Guisui or Baotou?"
"Is there any need to talk about it? Of course it's Guisui, which is the capital of the province..." Fu Zuoyi suddenly paused when he said this, then glared at Ye Qijie fiercely and asked, "Brother Xinwu, should you not
Are you trying to persuade me to use Baotou to exchange Guisui with Xu Rui? Let me tell you, this is absolutely impossible!"
Ye Qijie smiled bitterly and said, "Is there a better choice at the main seat?"
Fu Zuoyi was speechless for a moment. If he had a better choice, why would he be in such a dilemma?
After a long while, Fu Zuoyi said gloomily: "But even if I am willing to exchange, Xu Rui will agree? Guisui is far better than Baotou in terms of population, city size or political influence. If this was the case a hundred years ago,
Relying on the prosperity of Russian trade, Baotou is still on an equal footing with Guisui. However, since the rise of maritime transport, Baotou has long declined. Now it is impossible to compare with Guisui. Therefore, exchanging Guisui for Baotou is equivalent to exchanging watermelons for Baotou.
Sesame, how can Xu Rui agree?"
In the early Qing Dynasty, before the eastern coastal countries were opened by Western powers, the trade route from Baotou to Kyakhta, Russia, was China's main foreign trade route. In the era of prosperous trade, transportation back and forth on this trade route was carried out every year.
The value of the goods can reach hundreds of millions of taels of silver!
At that time, it was the golden age of Baotou.
At that time, Guisui's status could not be compared with that of Baotou.
However, since the coastal countries were opened by Western powers with strong ships and cannons, and with the rise of maritime transport and the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway, the inland trade route from Baotou to Kyaktu has rapidly declined, and Baotou has ceased to be prosperous.
Furthermore, it is still an ordinary commercial port in the interior, barely surviving by selling tea to Mongolia.
In recent years, due to the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Baotou's business industry has become even more depressed.
Because of this, Fu Zuoyi felt that it was impossible for Xu Rui to agree to such an exchange.
Ye Qijie rolled his eyes and said: "Chief, Xu Rui is good at fighting and fighting, but he is not a god after all. He may not understand economics, let alone trade! We can fool him and say,
Baotou is the largest inland trading port between China and the Soviet Union. Baotou’s annual commercial tax alone can generate more than one million yuan!"
Fu Zuoyi's heart moved slightly and he said: "Using Baotou's business tax to make a fuss and deceive him? Is this possible?"
Smiling, Ye Qijie added: "In short, Xu Rui doesn't understand that the business tax in Baotou is too high. He will be easily deceived by us. When he reacts and finds out that he has been cheated, Gui Sui will have to wait for him."
He has already fallen into our hands. If he goes back on his word, he will be blamed for provoking friction, and Yan'an may not agree to it."
Fu Zuoyi thought about it and couldn't think of a better way, so he said: "How about giving it a try?"
"Then give it a try." Ye Qijie said, "However, in order to ensure success, don't talk about it until you get in. First, drink this kid two bottles of Xifeng wine and then talk."
"That's it."
Fu Zuoyi nodded and walked back.
Ye Qijie followed him back to the reception room, and then the two of them began to find various excuses and kept urging them to drink. What made Fu Zuoyi and the two very happy was that Xu Rui did not refuse anyone who came. As long as the two of them toasted, Xu Rui drank openly.
By half an hour, two large pots of four kilograms of Xifeng wine had entered Xu Rui's stomach.
At this time, Xu Rui was tongue-tied when he spoke.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Qijie said: "Brother Xu, just now you said that you wanted to form an army of ten thousand cavalry. Is this true?"
"No." Xu Rui said with a big tongue, "I have no money, but it makes me worried."
Ye Qijie looked at Fu Zuoyi and said with a smile: "Well, brother, I have a good idea."
Xu Rui immediately turned his head, stared into drunken eyes and asked Ye Qijie: "What good idea does Mr. Ye have?"
"That's it." Ye Qijie lightly touched the table with his finger, and then continued, "We, the president, are eager to take back the power of returning to Sui, so that we can have a decent explanation with Chief Yan and Chairman Chiang.
Brother, you are in urgent need of money, so why not just do this, how about we give you Baotou in exchange for Guisui?"
"What are you talking about? I'm trading Baotou for Guisui. Do you think I'm stupid?" Xu Rui said, "What's the population of Baotou, and what's the population of Guisui? And one is a provincial capital, and the other is just a prefectural city. In terms of political status, they are completely different."
There’s no comparison. If I exchange Guisui for Baotou, wouldn’t I exchange watermelon for sesame seeds? Do you really think I’m stupid?”
"Brother, what you said is wrong." Ye Qijie said calmly, "Yes, Baotou's population is not as large as Guisui's, and its political status is even more incomparable. But there is one thing about Baotou that Guisui cannot compare with.
, that is, the business in Baotou is extremely prosperous, and the annual commercial tax alone is more than one million yuan, while the commercial tax in Guisui is less than a fraction of Baotou!"
Xu Rui was stunned when he heard this and asked: "More than one million oceans, is it true or false?"
"Of course it's true, brother, I can still lie to you." Ye Qijie vowed, "Brother, you don't know, since the late Ming Dynasty, Baotou has been a treaty port between China and Russia, especially in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, every year
The total value of goods traveling along this trade route exceeds 100 million taels of silver. Although it has disappeared in recent years, it is still a skinny camel bigger than a horse. The annual commercial tax of one million yuan is still there. This is definitely Guisui
Incomparable.”
"Really? Then exchange it!" Xu Rui said decisively, "But let's talk about it first. If after the exchange I find that Baotou can't collect that much business tax, I will be in a hurry with you."
"Don't worry." Ye Qijie slapped his chest loudly, "You can come to see me when the time comes."
Fu Zuoyi, who had been silent until now, suddenly showed a look of regret on his face, and said to Ye Qijie: "Oh no, no, brother Xin, you have forgotten that our 35th Army is in urgent need of money now, and Chief Yan won't give him any money.
The funds allocated by the central government are just a drop in the bucket. If there is no commercial tax in Baotou, how will we survive?"
Xu Rui became anxious when he heard this. He patted the table and said, "Mr. Fu, what do you mean? If you say it out loud, it's just like throwing water. How can you take it back? It's settled, Guisui Guigui you thirty-five
Army, Baotou belongs to our Chahar Independent Regiment, we have completed the formalities now, and then immediately change the defense!"
"No, it really can't be done." Fu Zuoyi shook his head and said, "I have to think about this again."
"What else are you thinking about?" Xu Rui said impatiently, "In the worst case, I'll give you the Wuchuan County seat as a bonus. That's all right, sir?"
