    Hangzhou, Zhangyuan.  Hidden amidst the beauty of the West Lake and the mountains, Zhang Garden is definitely unique among the private gardens in Jiangnan.  Although it is a private garden in Jiangnan, the designer perfectly integrated the building with the mountains, the lake, and the scenery. It is built close to the mountains and rivers, and along the lake, but it is different from the West Lake and is self-contained.  Although it is a private garden, it has the momentum of a royal garden.  The biggest feature of this garden on the edge of the West Lake is that it is so big that just walking around the garden is enough for a walk after a meal.  If you feel that it is not enough, there is a mountain across the lake, which is also part of the garden. If you want to sweat, go climb the mountain Building A is a two-story Western-style building. This is where Wang Xueqian lives when he comes to Hangzhou on weekdays.  Chen Brai worriedly placed the telegram from the Secrecy Bureau on Wang Xueqian's desk. After thinking about it, he walked to the window of the study room on the second floor and saw Wang Xueqian in the pavilion by the lake. After thinking about it, he picked it up.  I put the message in a folder and took it with me.  Wang Xueqian is discussing with Lin Changmin further industrial promotion, transportation, and electric power. Zhejiang has accumulated a certain foundation and gained good momentum in many industries.  But there are also difficulties, or birth defects.  There are no coal mines in the territory controlled by Wang Xueqian!  There is no iron ore either!  Even though we have entered the electric age, coal and iron are still the most important core factors restricting the industrial development potential of a region or country.  Although the current economic situation in Fujian and Zhejiang is good, local resources have been greatly developed, but without iron and coal, they are inherently deficient.  There is another simpler reason for congenital deficiencies, that is, you will not live long.  With the resumption of production at Hanyang Steel Plant, the demand for steel will be greatly self-sufficient, and the shares of Hanyang Steel Plant are in the hands of Wang Xueqian.  But even so, it's useless.  Lin Changmin's back-and-forth thinking is that Zhejiang's current development has encountered a bottleneck. The main reason is that industrial raw materials are subject to too many restrictions.  And he put forward euphemistically that external expansion is the only way out.  The largest steel production base in the Republic of China, before the Fengtian Steel Plant was put into operation, Hanyang Steel Plant definitely dominated the Republic of China.  Even in the early days when Zhang Zhidong was supervising the two lakes and preparing to build the Hanyang Iron and Steel Works, it was the largest steelmaking complex in Asia and its status was unrivaled.  Hanyang is one of the three towns in Wuhan and belongs to Hubei.  Whose territory is Hubei?  Xiao Yaonan, a direct descendant of Cao Kun.  He is an old minister of the Third Division. When Cao Kun became the commander of the Third Division, he was its chief of staff.  After the Zhiwan War, he was promoted to division commander by virtue of his military exploits on the battlefield. He also presided over the operation of Cao Kun's bribery list for seeking the governor of Zhili, and sent 600,000 yuan to Li Yuanhong.  It stands to reason that Xiao Yaonan is Cao Kun's right-hand man, capable and far-sighted.  At the same time, he also has the status of a scholar and a first-class Confucian general.  Unfortunately, he and Wu Peifu, Cao Kun's most trusted general, did not deal with each other and were squeezed out by Wu everywhere. This is why Xiao Yaonan followed Cao Kun for twenty years but became successful very late.  It wasn¡¯t until Cao Kun and Wu Peifu were dissatisfied with Wang Zhanyuan in Hubei, and Xiao Yaonan happened to be on the front line in Hubei, that they found an opportunity to rise.  Since Xiao Yaonan squeezed Wang Zhanyuan away, he has continued to consolidate his strength in Hubei. Sun Chuanfang led the Second Division and finally left Hubei. A large part of the reason was that the Second Division was Wang Zhanyuan's direct force, not Xiao Yaonan's direct force.  I'm afraid the only thing that can defeat him is the Zhejiang Army's warships.  Xiao Yaonan has a big heart, but he believes that being modest is a person who can use strategies and absolutely does not like to use force.  This can be seen from the fact that he and Hunan's new governor Zhao Hengti were able to sign an armistice agreement between the two lakes in a short period of time, which shows his ability to win over local governments.  And Hubei is the province with the largest number of troops stationed in the Yangtze River Basin, no other province.  In addition to the external transfer of the Second Division, Hubei has the 25th Division, the 18th Division, the 8th Division, the 18th Brigade, the 19th Brigade, the 21st Brigade and other units directly under the Beiyang Military Government, as well as five units from the Hubei Local Army.  The mixed brigade has a total strength of more than 100,000.  It is rare for Xiao Yaonan to be able to coordinate these troops to live peacefully on the ground in Hubei.  In the Yangtze River Basin, only Xiao Yaonan's strength can be compared with that of the Zhejiang Army. In addition, this person is very capable. If he wins over several surrounding warlords, the peaceful balance of power in the Yangtze River will be broken.  At that time, the Zhejiang Army will face a forced war, and with the transportation of steel and coal cut off, the Zhejiang Army will fall into a passive situation to a large extent.  Although Lin Changmin was talking about industry, he talked about politics.  It was still the plan to use troops abroad, which made Wang Xueqian very puzzled. Originally, Lin Changmin was a Teddy, or an old Teddy with no ambitions. But in the blink of an eye, the good old man also became aggressive.??.  "Brother Lin, are you being bewitched by other people?" According to Wang Xueqian's judgment, Lin Changmin will definitely not think about military matters, so the only possibility is that he was bewitched by his colleagues, such as Zhang Zaiyang, Wen Yingxing and others.  He then gave Wang Xueqian a reason to report on his ideas for industrial development, and then started to talk about Zhejiang¡¯s shortcomings and the dilemma of being choked by others.  Lin Changmin wanted to refute, but he had no way of talking about it. He could only laugh and said: "I also think it makes sense. There is another war in the north and the people are in dire straits. Since they are incapable of managing the country well and developing the Republic of China, let those who are capable go up."  "Tell the truth!" Wang Xueqian said deceitfully.  Lin Changmin was stunned, and then he had a sense of mystery like a fortune teller: "Now, a great opportunity is right in front of us!" Wang Xueqian also smiled. It was obvious that people below him had begun to doubt and even resent the United Anhui system.  After Duan Qirui of the Anhui clique and Fengjun Zhang Zuolin fully cooperated, both parties seemed to have begun planning to overthrow the Zhili clique and distribute dividends.  When sharing benefits, one less person means one less expense.  Both the Zhejiang Army and the Guangzhou Provisional Government were dispensable allies in the eyes of Zhang Zuolin and Duan Qirui.  There may even be estrangement and war between the two countries in the future.  Jiangsu was one of the most important tax-paying areas in the Republic of China. It was not comparable to the northern provinces. Moreover, Jiangsu was also one of the largest granaries in the Republic of China.  Only with money and food can you have the confidence, even if Lu Yongxiang defended the final attack of the direct local army.  But in the end, facing the eager gaze of Zhang Zuolin's generals, he still had to hand over Jiangsu obediently.  So, don¡¯t look at this piece of fat meat in Jiangsu, but it is scalding hot. Perhaps only you know the pain of eating it.  Wang Xueqian was also prepared for this, but at least his preparation seemed too gentle to many people.  In terms of strength, it is not difficult for the Zhejiang army to defeat Lu Yongxiang and annex Jiangsu. What is difficult is that after the annexation, all the forces will focus on Wang Xueqian. Is this appropriate?     A small leak will sink a great ship.  Wang Xueqian also knew that the current opportunity seemed very good, but he knew that there was a better opportunity.  It was during the days when the direct line fell apart that Wang Xueqian had the best opportunity.  Although the world is already in chaos, it is not chaotic enough to fish in troubled waters.  As for Jiangsu?  Lu Yongxiang cannot hold on. If the Anhui clique openly surrenders to the Feng army and gains sufficient advantages in the Zhili-Fengtian war, then there is only one possibility. The surrounding Zhili clique warlords will regard Lu Yongxiang as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.  Even without declaring war, they would unite and attack in groups.  Even if Fengjun helps the Anhui clique come forward in the end, will Fengjun give up Jiangsu, a first-class taxation land?  No matter what, this piece of fat will never be given to the Anhui clique again. Whether it is Lu Yongxiang or Duan Qirui, they are already outdated politicians. The most useful thing is to serve as Zhang Zuolin's chamber pot. He will only remember it when he is using it and throw it away when not in use.  far away.  "Sir! Telegram from the north!" Lin Changmin smiled gently and followed his usual habit of leaving with an excuse. He was not the kind of good old man who liked to inquire about things.  Looking at Lin Changmin's brisk pace, Chen Brei said thoughtfully: "Director Lin seems to have become a lot more radical recently!" "Oh, Bree, did you hear something?" "Many officers of the Youth Army are keen on this.  To join politics, there are many propaganda against the Beiyang military government" "What do you think caused the current situation?" Chen Bulei thought for a while and said respectfully: "But there is no war, and young people are not.  He is full of energy and has no hope of promotion. " Seeing that Wang Xueqian was silent, Chen Bui frowned slightly and then asked: "Sir, do you want the Governor's Office to mediate the conflict? After all, young people rarely consider the consequences of their actions. Once the situation gets out of control,  The losses will be huge." Wang Xueqian shook his head and said: "It's not necessary. The soldiers of the Republic of China are happy and unfortunate. I estimate that a war between the north and the south will start soon. As long as the war breaks out, these people will not.  I jumped up and down at the meeting, and my current resentment is just that I am too idle." Then, Wang Xueqian looked at the telegram sent by Dai Li.  The affairs in Jinan have come to an end. Qi Xieyuan's arsenal was bombed, so he may not be able to do much for a while.  Moreover, contact with the Fifth Division is also in progress. Dai Li's intention to recommend Mao Renfeng is self-evident.  After putting down the telegram, Wang Xueqian felt that there was no big problem, so he said to Chen Brai: "According to regulations, issue a commendation order! The promotion of special personnel must also be taken into consideration." "Sir!" Chen Brai's purpose was obviously not here.  If it were so simple, Chen Brai would have put the telegram away?Wouldn¡¯t it be enough to just put it on Wang Xueqian¡¯s desk?  But why did he have to go through the thankless task of showing Wang Xueqian the telegram? He didn't get any benefits from Dai Li.  Of course, he didn't mean to help Dai Li.  Instead, he believed that the Secrecy Bureau was deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors.  It was the rebellion of the person in charge of the Shandong Station of the Secrecy Bureau that caused Dai Li great panic.  The series of actions that followed were all based on the action of exterminating the traitor. To put it bluntly, it was not a rescue, and there was no credit at all.  How could Wang Xueqian not guess Chen Brai¡¯s purpose in bringing the telegram?  He didn't want to see himself being deceived. The Secrecy Bureau was in Shandong, and the Governor's Mansion also got exact information. It was said that they were two systems like Dai Li's Secrecy Bureau, but they did the same job.  There is a sense of colleagues and enemies in it.  "Lao Lu" rebelled, and almost all the Shandong stations established by the Secrecy Bureau in Shandong were removed. If this was publicized, Dai Li would have no choice but to take the blame and resign.  Even if the traitor has been eliminated, for the Secrecy Bureau, it is just making up for the merits and should not be rewarded at all!  Isn¡¯t this a lack of distinction between right and wrong?  Wang Xueqian knew the inside story and pretended not to know, which puzzled Chen Brai.  Fortunately, Wang Xueqian also knew that Chen Brai had no bad intentions and could not be deceived, so he forced himself to come forward.  If such a person is under a sensible boss, as long as he has no wrong thoughts in his life, his favor will basically never be cut off.  Wang Xueqian expressed his thoughts: "Rewards are for those members who have no fault, but have worked hard and even their lives. There is absolutely no doubt about this, and Dai Li's application is only for these people, and the only ones he mentioned  It's Mao Renfeng, an internal member of the Secrecy Bureau. A big part of it is testing the loyalty of his subordinates, and it's also testing me to see if I have any doubts and dissatisfaction with him." At this point, Wang Xueqian concluded: "This guy has learned.  It¡¯s bad!¡± ¡°If he is a bad person, he won¡¯t follow his husband!¡± Chen Bui is very unfavorable about Dai Li¡¯s character. To explain Dai Li¡¯s character in one sentence, he is a bad person!  It is not an exaggeration to say that there are sores on the top of the head and pus on the soles of the feet.  Dai Li has a bad nature, which is not the point. Since becoming an official, he has been worried about gains and losses because he is too focused on official status.  It is impossible for Wang Xueqian to attack Dai Li at this critical moment, because it is not in his interest: "The Secrecy Bureau has only been established for two years, and the training of talents is still in progress. Reprimanding Dai Li too much at this time may even give people a  This illusion that the Secrecy Bureau is no longer trusted by me is likely to directly result in the Secrecy Bureau being squeezed by all parties. "Chen Brai has also heard about it: "They have done a lot of dirty work, and they are recruiting.  It's normal for people to hate me. " "So, unless I plan to stop using the Secrecy Bureau, I can't give less praise to the Secrecy Bureau, and I can't pay less attention to Dai Li." As Wang Xueqian spoke, he raised the corners of his mouth leisurely, knowing his character.  Instead, Chen Brai began to worry about Dai Li.  As expected, Wang Xueqian reached out for the pen, and then directly gave instructions on the telegram to commend all personnel of the Secret Bureau for this operation, and then wrote the words "heavy reward".  Mao Renfeng, who performed outstandingly in this operation, was promoted to the first level and entrusted with important tasks.  Mao Renfeng was originally the director of the Secrecy Bureau, was she above him?  That¡¯s the deputy director!  After Dai Li established the Secret Bureau, apart from his status as director, there has been no deputy director position, so the deputy position has become free.  And Mao Renfeng can only be promoted to deputy director, which means that in the future, there will be a replacement in the Secrecy Bureau that Dai Li will also start to fear.  ¡°Wang Xueqian doesn¡¯t care anyway, you can make trouble if you want. As long as it doesn¡¯t affect the tasks he assigned, he doesn¡¯t care how much trouble there is within the Secrecy Bureau.  But for Dai Li, this was definitely shooting himself in the foot. Dai Li was already in Yanjing, and his subordinates all stayed away from Boss Dai in weird ways.  As for why?  I don¡¯t know what caused Dai Li¡¯s seizure, but he suddenly slapped himself hard in the mouth while eating dinner!  This is the prelude to getting sick!  (To be continued)
