Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The cost of threatening a villain is always much lower than threatening a gentleman.  It can even be said that there are only advantages and no disadvantages.  Because villains always stand in a humble corner, thinking about their own best interests, while gentlemen As the old saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.  And the villain?  When his strength crushes him, he can't scream, but when his strength is insufficient, even if there is no barrier, he will still be bullied.  Bai Jianwu felt humiliated, but it was momentary.  People like him are like vines clinging to big people, just like big trees, there are always some plants that like to climb around them.  When Wu Peifu's situation was unclear, Bai Jianwu's first thought was Wu Peifu's interests.  Of course he knew that Fengjun was difficult to deal with. This was not only his knowledge, but also Wu Peifu's experience.  The power of thunder is real when used once.  If used too much, it becomes a routine.  It¡¯s a routine, and there are loopholes.  Wu Peifu doesn¡¯t have to keep using it on Zhang Zuolin, he only has one chance.  The current situation is that Wu Peifu still doesn't have enough chips. Five elite infantry brigades may be able to kill all parties in a provincial battle.  However, in a battle of the magnitude of the Zhifeng War, the only effect that can be achieved is the gain or loss of one place.  How to turn a gain or loss into a major rout for the Feng army was the tactic Wu Peifu considered.  And how to turn Wu Peifu¡¯s considered tactics into battlefield weights requires the people around him to do their best.  Bai Jianwu did play a great role in easing the contradiction between the "Baoding Clan" and the "Luoyang Clan".  Even decisive.  Everyone knows that if Cao Kun, the leader of the "Baoding faction", no longer trusts Wu Peifu of the "Luoyang faction", or even turns against him.  The situation is unstable internally, and externally, there is still a powerful enemy named Fengjun.  If it really comes to the point where water and fire are incompatible, it can only be a split situation for the Zhili family.  After the split, the Zhili clique no longer had the ability to compete with Fengjun.  Therefore, Bai Jianwu is very important in Wu Peifu's eyes.  This importance even appeared in politics. He was even optimistic that if Bai Jianwu was allowed to form a cabinet in Yanjing, the relationship between him and Cao Kun would be greatly repaired.  Functionally speaking, Bai Jianwu's identity is more like a public relations officer who handles crises for Wu Peifu. Since he has such an identity, it is inevitable to be despised by others.  Holding the phone, it took less than a cup of tea to go from being furious, to gnashing of teeth, to calmness.  Even Zhang Zhenfang, who was sitting opposite and watching the show, was curious, how patient Bai Jianwu was!  This made Zhang Zhenfang start to feel alarmed. Could it be that Bai Jianwu's arrogance and domineering attitude were all deliberately disguised as his hometown?  "Mr. Zhang, it's just a small thing for me to get rid of you in the name of Yushuai!" "Tell me about it!" Zhang Zhenfang still looked like he didn't care, but his heart began to beat.  There is nothing to worry about if you offend a villain, a villain who only knows how to bully others.  But he was a little worried about offending a little political fox.  With his connections in Beiyang, when he was alive, naturally no one dared to peek into the Zhang family's wealth.  But what if a hundred years later?  Although it is unlucky to say this, people eat whole grains, and birth, aging, sickness and death are simply irresistible laws.  In fact, the homes of the rich and powerful are very early in preparing food for future generations.  Some people start preparations after they reach their prime.  Maybe it's a geomantic treasure, maybe it's a longevity gift Zhang Zhenfang is not afraid of life and death, but he is worried that his descendants will be remembered.  Bai Jianwu spoke before Zhang Zhenfang could speak: "Yushuai has two requirements for this transaction. One is that it must be fast, and the other is that the quantity must not be small. The plane, Yushuai, is bound to get it. But Bai came here  I was in a hurry and couldn't raise funds. I originally hoped that the Salt Bank would be the guarantee, but after all, the amount was too high, so I decided to find another way out. However, since the other party had made the request, Bai had no reason to back down even if it was extremely difficult.  Even if Bai tries his best, Zhejiang cannot be satisfied in the end. For this plan, only Mr. Zhang comes forward to help Bai find the bottom line" "It will not embarrass Mr. Zhang.  Zhang Gong¡¯s hard work has led to the establishment of the country, and now that he is in charge of the world, Bai boldly promises to take care of the Zhang family¡¯s property for Yu Shuai. "Zhang Zhenfang is an old man, so how could he not understand the meaning behind Bai Jianwu's words.  Zhang Zhenfang and Duan Qirui have a very bad relationship.  Zhang Zhenfang and Cao Kun don't seem to be that good either.  If the Zhang family does not have him in charge, it will rely on his son ZhangHe probably couldn't even appease a group of people in the bank with his methods.  Not to mention the peeps of some military and political officials in the future.  Of course, Zhang Zhenfang is a master who will not let go of hawks when he sees rabbits. He will not put all his efforts into Bai Jianwu's words. He pointed in the east and west with a frown: "The winter in the south is cold and cold, so I point the sun north." "Commander."  I have plans to visit Tianjin in the near future, and I will inevitably disturb Mr. Zhang. " "If Marshal Yu comes to visit, I will definitely set up a couch to welcome him. " The two of them exchanged words, and in the end the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.  This made Zhang Boju, the second-generation only son of the Zhang family, puzzled. He couldn't understand what was going on!  But one thing can still be heard: Zhang Zhenfang will try his best to help Wu Peifu buy an airplane.  But not long ago, Zhang Zhenfang said that it was absolutely impossible for Zhejiang to sell such a large number of aircraft to Wu Peifu, and it would definitely be too late to produce them.  Aircraft assembly seems simple, but engine processing is not.  Then there is only one possibility, to mobilize aircraft from the active military.  ¡°This is going down, the other is going up, which is definitely a threat to Zhejiang.  Especially if Wu Peifu defeats the Feng army at the Great Wall defense line, seizes the power of victory, raises his troops south, and unifies them in one fell swoop, then Wang Xueqian's Zhejiang army, no matter how strong it is, will bear the brunt.  When the threats outweigh the benefits, Zhang Zhenfang naturally has no reason to believe that Wang Xueqian will agree to this arms purchase order?  However, if Bai Jianwu is more determined, it is not impossible.  It¡¯s just that this degree is not easy to grasp.  Bai Jianwu also has a headache. How about the guarantee?  What to guarantee?  "But Zhang Boju was thinking about another aspect. He never thought that he couldn't control the Zhang family's abilities.  In fact, he didn't even know how much money the Zhang family had.  The shares of the Salt Bank are very complicated. Many high-ranking Beiyang officials in the opposition have a stake, as do the generals who hold military power. Even Cao Kun has a hand in it.  With such a diverse group of shares, and the fact that each of them is an owner with deep foundations, Zhang Zhenfang can control the situation, but it is really difficult to do it alone.  "Father, was it too hasty to agree to Bai Jianwu just now?" Zhang Zhenfang glanced at his son. He was very majestic and looked like a handsome young man walking out of a painting. But the problem is that good looks and whether he can keep the family business are two different things.  Zhang Boju doesn't like anything else, but he likes one thing, gold and stone antiques.  With hundreds of thousands of collection funds every year, and countless good things that he has passed through, he has developed a sharp eye, which makes him worthy of being the owner of an antique shop in Yanjing Liulichang.  But the problem is that the Zhang family is a wealthy family in Tianjin. Its largest industry is finance, and the Salt Bank is the leader of the "Four Northern Banks".  But wanting to keep the Zhang family¡¯s property is not something that an antique shop owner can do!  Zhang Zhenfang is anxious!  "If Wang Xueqian is willing to help the Zhang family and take care of the Zhang family's property after being a father for a hundred years, the father will naturally not have to give face to little pawns like Bai Jianwu. Even if the head office of the Salt Bank is moved to Shanghai, it will be worthwhile.  Buthey" Zhang Boju couldn't understand Ladu's affectionate words, and he almost burst into tears: "My father is in good health, so he will live a long life." "Silly boy, a centenarian is lucky in this world.  , but so easy to get? "Zhang Zhenfang has no heirs, and Zhang Boju is the son of his adopted brother.  He is very similar to Cao Kun, but he doesn't have Cao Kun's good luck. He always gets a son.  A conversation between father and son naturally deepens their relationship.  And Zhang Boju also secretly vowed to start seriously studying the Zhang family's industry, especially banks.  Not to mention the Zhang family, Wang Xueqian, who took the initiative in this arms purchase, was also uneasy.  With the help of aircraft, will Zhili solve the big problem of Fengjun Zhang Zuolin in one fell swoop?  If Zhang Zuolin is solved, Wang Xueqian, who is also a major force in the same place, is likely to become Wu Peifu's next target.  But the problem is that if Wu Peifu is not supported, there will be a brief period of chaos after Fengjun wins the Zhili-Fengtian War.  But it should recover soon. When the Feng army goes south, it will still have to fight with the Zhejiang army.  Is there any reason for this? Zhili and Fengjun are both his enemies. He, a feudal official, has failed too much.  Soon after Bai Jianwu left, Zhang Zhenfang also called. It seemed that Bai Jianwu had found the Salt Bank as a guarantee.  If it was a business worth hundreds of thousands, the Salt Bank would naturally have no pressure. But the problem was that fifty aircraft, plus aerial bombs, ammunition, fuel, accessories, etc., almost exceeded the principal of the Salt Bank.  This is no longer a business that Salt Bank can guarantee.  Zhang Zhenfang is asking Chen Bulei to deliver a message, hoping that the 'Wang Governor' will remind him.  In his heart, Wang Xueqian is more inclined to increase the bargaining chip for Fengjun. The reason is very simple. If the direct lineAfter victory, Fengjun was destroyed.  Wu Peifu no longer has any worries, so he can raise his troops to go south. The strength of the troops may even be comparable to that of the Zhi-Feng war.  But Fengjun is different. Even if Fengjun defeats Wu Peifu, he still has to set aside a large number of garrison troops to maintain the stability of the newly occupied areas.  Choosing the lesser of two evils, Wang Xueqian slowly shook his head when asked by Chen Brai: "Jade Marshal's victory is a greater threat to us." He did have plans to part ways with Fengjun, but compared to the direct control of the Yangtze River,  Judging from the situation in the north, the latter poses a greater threat.  Chen Bui understood Wang Xueqian's thoughts and went to answer the phone.
