- Chapter 352 North and South
Beijing in April has completely changed into spring clothes, the branches are green, the flower beds are gorgeous, and pairs of swallows are flying among the pink willows and green willows!
The ancient city is thriving again. (d wins q coins,
"Winter has passed and spring has come, and the weather is getting warmer!"
Yuan Shikai looked out the window, first murmured to himself, and then said
"Li Zhiyuan"
Thinking of the newspapers, the front pages in recent days were all about Li Zhiyuan's flight to support the election, but Yuan Shikai frowned.
"It's a shame that Li Zhiyuan can remember to fly to support the election!"
Although he was murmuring in his heart, Yuan Shikai knew that, let alone those ordinary people who had never seen the world, even he, Yuan Shikai, was really curious about airplanes, otherwise he would not go to Nanyuan to see airplanes, but France in Nanyuan Planes obviously cannot be compared with Li Zhiyuan's plane. Each plane Li Zhiyuan took can carry as many as a dozen people. Three large planes carried staff and reporters. This nationwide flight is not only eye-catching, but more importantly. If he pays homage like this, maybe
Thinking about it, an old incident once again appeared in Yuan Shikai's mind.
It was in the first year of the Republic of China, during the congressional election, that thunderous news almost made him faint. That was the first session of the National Congress of China. At that time, the election of members had ended, and the election results were:
There are 596 members in the House of Representatives, of which 269 are from the Kuomintang, and 274 in the Senate, of which 123 are from the Kuomintang. Among the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the Kuomintang has a total of 392 seats, accounting for 45% of the total seats.
Song Jiaoren¡¯s plan to organize a party responsible cabinet has been realized, realized!
Although he was relieved later, and there were still cross-party members in the Kuomintang, Yuan Shikai was not afraid of those members. In the end, both the Congress and the Kuomintang still became playthings in his hands.
But now, Yuan Shikai knew that the National Socialist Party he was about to face was definitely different from the Kuomintang. According to the newspaper, it would rather not expand the party than allow "people with weak will and uncertain beliefs to infiltrate the National Socialist Party." However, the National Socialist Party regards itself as the so-called "elite leader" and in order to obtain With the support of the people, they have made various promises, including equalizing land rights, land to the tiller, independent tariffs, industrial protection, the abolition of levies, and the reduction and exemption of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
"Li Zhiyuan, do you really think everything is as easy as you think?"
¡°At the beginning, Yuan Shikai did not notice anything wrong with Li Zhiyuan¡¯s election support. Later, he thought about Li Zicheng and Song Jiaoren together, and felt that there was a lot to be done to support the election.
Song Jiaoren was keen on party politics, political parties and cabinets. The Kuomintang became a major party and the Congress became the world of the Kuomintang. Song Jiaoren was the de facto leader of the Kuomintang. Naturally, he wanted to organize his own cabinet. Oh, he should slowly find a way from here and walk towards the highest peak.
But for Song Jiaoren, he felt that his worries were unfounded. After all, Song Jiaoren wanted money but no one, and the Kuomintang had a complex composition and was nothing to be afraid of. But Li Zhiyuan was different. He had money, and Longhai alone The income from selling land along the line is a huge sum of money, not to mention that there are * companies making money for him.
??For a long time, there have been few people in China who can combine military strength, financial resources, and power into one. That is to say, Yuan Shikai can combine military, financial, and power into one, but Li Zhiyuan is also such a person.
And compared to Song Jiaoren, Li Zicheng is better at buying people's hearts. Whether it is land for farmers or industrial protection, or the abolition of taxes and reduction of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, these are all actions to win people's hearts. He speaks human words and lies to ghosts. In short, he can say whatever he sees to anyone, as long as it can interest the other person. But it is these words that make him more and more likely to win this congressional by-election.
¡°Li Zhiyuan is really a figure that cannot be ignored!¡±
After Xu Shichang arrived, Yuan Shikai said with emotion. Xu Shichang nodded. Although he, the Secretary of State, was running out, he still tried his best to make plans for Yuan Shikai.
¡°He was originally a character, but the big guys thought he was too young, so he didn¡¯t look like a character anymore!¡±
"When listening to Xu Shichang's words, Yuan Shikai's consciousness turned from light to heavy, and his eyebrows gradually knitted together. At the same time, my heart was spinning.
Song Jiaoren in the second year of the Republic of China was not a single person at the beginning. Just when Yuan Shikai came up with dozens of ways to deal with him, someone finally helped "get rid of" him, although in the end the shit basin was in his hands. On the head, but in the past two years, when the Song case was mentioned again, people often only mentioned those doubtful points, and few people mentioned that it was Yuan Shikai who ordered people to kill him.
If someone kills Li Zhiyuan!
¡¡thisYuan Shikai was startled by this idea as soon as it surfaced. Although he, Yuan Shikai, was never polite to his political opponents, sending assassins to kill people was not his temperament. What's more, Li Zicheng and his former rival Song Jiao Ren Bubu, not to mention his current reputation, just the Jiangsu Army under his name is a trouble.
If you don¡¯t do it well, you will shoot yourself in the foot. If Li Zhiyuan is really killed, then the Jiangsu Army loses control and the Revolutionary Party continues to encourage "killing Yuan for revenge", maybe the country will be completely wiped out, or at least military disasters will continue. By then, he, Yuan Shikai, will be victorious. Whether it is negative or not is an unknown quantity.
"If this person uses him well, it will be of great benefit to the country, but if he is not used well, it will still be a source of disaster in the end."
Xu Shichang seemed to have said something "fair", but he was the only one who understood the meaning. Knowing Yuan Shikai, he certainly knew that what he said was exactly what Yuan Shikai wanted to hear, and what Yuan Shikai wanted to hear. think.
"What Brother Juren said is true!"
Nodding, Yuan Shikai stood up. He slowly took out a cigar and stuffed it into his mouth. He lit it on fire and sucked on it, but then squeezed it out and put it back where it belonged. He frowned, seeming to be thinking about something. Then he turned to Xu Shichang and said after a while.
¡°Brother Juren, do you think I can use this person well??¡±
"Such a person is so talented and arrogant that if he can be subdued, he will indeed be of great use!"
Xu Shichang did not answer directly, but first made a "comment".
"But based on the president's criteria for hiring and judging people, I think he can conquer them!"
"Can we rest assured about him?"
Yuan Shikai asked cautiously, he wanted to leave a way out for himself, and not leave any way out. If this person could not be used with confidence, then
¡°He is different from the Revolutionary Party.¡±
"He is different from the Revolutionary Party, but"
At this time, Yuan Shikai seemed a little uneasy.
"He is more scheming than the revolutionary party in doing things!"
"President, if not, you can send a telegram to Li Zhiyuan and ask him to come to Beijing first and then have a look."
Also planning to retreat.
"Send him a telegram and ask him to come to Beijing"
His suggestion touched Yuan Shikai's heart. The eyebrows he had frowned just now seemed to be about to relax, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and agreed:
"Well, that's it, we have to let him come to the capital. He has only traveled to four provinces now. If he returns to the capital now, it would be"
A strategy to remove the firepower from under the cauldron!
There is a small village called Yantang in the northeastern suburbs of Guangzhou. This village has a spacious grassland that is more than a kilometer long. At least there used to be such a grassland. In fact, this grassland is related to a man named Charles? Vandenberg was not unrelated to the aviation movement. In 1911, Vandenberg arrived in Hong Kong with three Falman aircraft. After performing an air show in Hong Kong, he came to Guangzhou at the invitation of Amway Corporation. On April 5, he found an open grassland in a small village called Yantang in the northeastern suburbs of Guangzhou, and he carefully trimmed the grassland.
It¡¯s cloudless on April 8th, Charles? Vandenberg and his far biplane appeared proudly on the Yantang grassland. In the eyes of everyone in amazement, this "monster" ran on the grass for a short time, suddenly rose into the sky, and flew into the sky like a bird, writing two firsts for Guangzhou: the first time in the sky of Guangzhou An airplane appeared; as the airplane took off into the sky, the grassland in Yantang Village became the first airport in Guangzhou's history¡ªYantang Airport.
In August a year later, Feng Ruye set foot on this grassland with the airplane he made, and flew into the sky amidst the cheers and attention of everyone. For the first time, the Chinese dream of flying into the sky became a reality in Guangzhou. It also made Yantang Airport famous in history. Although Feng Rub later went to Lianyungang, Yantang had an indissoluble bond with airplanes.
Last year, when planes sank a Japanese warship off the coast of Lianyungang, Long Jiguang, the governor and civil affairs minister of Guangdong Province, colluded with Jiangsu to send 12 soldiers to Lianyung to learn flying in view of Guangdong's proximity to the sea. When building an airport in Guangzhou for aircraft takeoff and landing, Long Jiguang also chose Yantang.
At noon, the vicinity of Yantang Airport was full of lights and colorful lights. Although Guangzhou people were the first citizens in China to see airplanes and they were not unfamiliar with airplanes, they still attracted a lot of people this time. The unprecedented "behemoth" flying from Hunan still made them full of curiosity. Of course, more importantly, they did not charge money!
??Whether it¡¯s Charles? Vandenberg or Feng Ru need to pay to watch their flight performances, and the National Socialist PartyThe leaders' planes landed for free, and their planes were more numerous, bigger, and faster. The airport attracted tens of thousands of Guangzhou citizens without the National Socialist Party's deliberate publicity in newspapers.
In a pergola flower fence on the edge of the airport, Long Jiguang, the governor of Guangdong, wearing a military uniform and various medals on his chest, sat on a chair and occasionally looked to the sky. On a rattan table next to him, steam was rising from the spout of a purple clay pot, and several teacups were placed on the tea tray.
At this time, Long Jiguang, who was sitting on the chair, frowned and looked a little nervous. Although Long Jiguang welcomed Li Zhiyuan to Guangzhou, on the other hand, he did not dare to welcome him for no reason. It, this Guangzhou can be said to be the base camp of the Revolutionary Party, but Li Zhiyuan is the most deadly enemy of the Revolutionary Party. If the Revolutionaries were ranked in terms of their hatefulness, Li Zhiyuan would be ranked higher than the President.
There is no other reason. He, Li Zhiyuan, is cautious in his work. He never uses violence to deal with the Revolutionary Party. He first attacks its legal principles through public opinion, and then accuses it of causing chaos to the country and committing crimes against the people. Then from time to time, he throws out a document or a secret. , in short, Li Zhiyuan¡¯s way of dealing with the Revolutionary Party is to ¡°disrepute him.¡± This is Li Zhiyuan¡¯s first prerequisite for dealing with the Revolutionary Party. In terms of his treatment of the Revolutionary Party, he seems to be ¡°mercier¡± than the president. But in fact, he is far more ruthless than the president.
What the Revolutionary Party cares most about is not life. For the Revolutionary Party members, they have long been aware that they must die. What they care about is reputation. It is reputation that makes people believe in them. It is reputation that makes people support them. Reputation is ruined. The most fatal thing is that without reputation, there will be no support from the people. Without the support of the people, the revolutionary party will have problems raising money.
It is precisely because Li Zhiyuan ruined their reputation that the revolutionaries hate him far more than the president. The reason why Long Jiguang did not dare to welcome him was, on the one hand, because Guangdong was the base camp of the Revolutionary Party. On the other hand, he was afraid of what the Revolutionary Party would do in Guangzhou. By then, the president would use Long Jiguang to Just asking, I'm afraid
How many people are willing to be the scapegoat? At least Long Jiguang was never willing to be a scapegoat. But looking at the tens of thousands of people surrounding the airport, his brows suddenly knitted together.
"Ming Quan, go and check again. Don't let anyone else sneak in!"
After giving instructions to the subordinates on the side, Long Jiguang, who was still a little uneasy, looked inside the airport again. Sitting near the flower shed were officials from the Guangdong Governor's Office and celebrities and gentry in Guangzhou, while those far away There, near the oil tanker, were employees of the Guangdong Branch of the * Company and some people from the airport, who were refueling the plane. Around the airport, thousands of soldiers with trumpets had isolated the airport, and it seemed that there were many people waiting. You can't get in.
Although he looked at it like this, Long Jiguang still couldn't let go. From the newspaper, he knew that Li Zhiyuan liked to give speeches, and even walked up to the people and shook hands with them. What if this guy was here? If this comes out thinking about how many people in Guangdong are members of the Revolutionary Party, Long Jiguang's heart suddenly tightens. Looking at the people near the airport, he feels that there are countless people hiding among them. It is the revolutionary party that is ready to take off his "hat".
There is a carriage parked at the edge of the airport, and the shed next to the carriage is filled with oil barrels. Unlike aircraft from other countries, ordinary gasoline is not suitable for aircraft in Lianyungang. The aviation gasoline produced by Longhai Fuel Company has a higher volatility than Automobile gasoline is low in content and less likely to vaporize. The tetraethyl lead added to the gasoline ensures that the aircraft will not explode during flight, which is common in gasoline engines.
It is precisely because of this that special gasoline was shipped from Lianyungang. In fact, in the past twenty days, the reason why the selection support fleet was able to fly smoothly within the four provinces was not unrelated to the good logistics support. On the one hand, it is the maintenance of random personnel, but on the other hand, it is because the company invests a lot of money and manpower to ensure the parts and fuel of the aircraft, and Guangzhou is no exception.
In the fuel shed, several workers unloaded the oil drums from the carriage, while several employees counted the quantities of gasoline and its accessories.
While making statistics, Cheng Yueming looked at the sky from time to time. For him, this was the first time he had seen an airplane. His curiosity about airplanes even exceeded his sense of responsibility. When he, his The responsibility is simple, that is, to ensure the amount of gasoline.
¡°Check again!¡±
The company¡¯s service section chief shouted loudly from the side, then he took the folder in his hand and began to check.
"Engine consumable parts"
During his check, the staff in the shed kept giving out numbers one after another, but what he wanted was obviously not numbers. While checking the numbers, he also asked them to count them again.
"gasoline!¡¡"
"bucket!"
 The section chief's words prompted Cheng Yueming to quickly answer. At this moment, when he turned around, he saw several company security personnel checking weapons by the shed. This scene made Cheng Yueming feel nervous. He vaguely heard that There is a rumor that someone is assassinating Jing Lue.
Why would someone assassinate the emperor?
Cheng Yueming didn't understand this, but thinking about Song Jiaoren's assassination and that until now, the real murderer has not been found, this more or less convinced him that rumors are not necessarily just rumors.
At this moment, Cheng Yueming saw several photographers at the studio playing with two movie cameras. Those photographers were not photographers hired by the company, but several photographers from Hong Kong. The reason why they came here to shoot , it was just a coincidence that they came to Guangzhou to shoot the cityscape of Guangzhou, and because the general manager flew here by plane, they applied to film a news film about the general manager¡¯s visit to Guangzhou to support the election.
After they installed the film in the camera, the photographers walked back and forth with the camera, looking for a suitable shooting angle from time to time. Occasionally, they would put their eyes on the camera, and then they seemed a little dissatisfied and then changed it again. After several selections of locations, they selected several locations by the airport. After selecting the locations, they discussed those locations with the officers of the Dudu Mansion. After obtaining permission, the two photographers and their two assistants, Just like everyone else, he looked up at the sky and waited for the arrival of the plane.
At this moment, the roar of aircraft engines came from the sky. Like everyone else, Cheng Yueming looked up at the sky and saw several aircraft appearing in the sky. At this time, the photographer also pointed his camera at the sky. Everything that happened next was just as reported in the newspaper. First, a biplane flew across the field. After the plane turned around again, it landed directly on the airport. When the plane landed, Cheng Yueming accidentally saw The photographer next to a camera was focused on the plane that had just landed, but his eyes were not directed towards the sky, as if he was waiting for something.
