Lost and Spy

Chapter 182 First Entering Beijing
Once out of Shanhaiguan, Meng Shaoyuan immediately tasted the color.

The suit and black woolen coat are very handsome, aren't they?
Freeze you to death!
He saw Luo Yiyi and Xie Songshan, and calmly took out the clothes he had prepared earlier from the luggage.

A thick cotton coat and a mink hat that can cover the ears.

Look at the handsome young master Meng again?
Shaking, shaking... shivering from the cold...

handsome?

fuck you.

This weather can really freeze people to death.

"Manager Zhu, you can enter Manchuria wearing this, that's not acceptable." Xie Songshan said worriedly, "This will be frozen."

"Ah, I brought it, I brought it... Ah Xie." Meng Shaoyuan sneezed, and looked at Luo for help: "Housekeeper Luo, um, bring me my clothes."

ah?You don't have any clothes, are these clothes mine?
Seeing Meng Shaoyuan winking at him, he remembered his identity. He was a housekeeper. As a housekeeper, how could he not wear the boss's clothes?

Having already entered Manchuria, there are many dangers at this time, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything.

Gritting his teeth, he handed the clothes he had prepared to Meng Shaoyuan: "Manager Zhu, please change into your clothes."

Sure enough, it was much warmer.

Meng Shaoyuan was satisfied, especially the hat, which was so warm. He glanced at Luo and said, "I said Housekeeper Luo, you should put it on quickly, so you don't get frozen."

I change?

My clothes are with you!

"Boss, I left in a hurry, I forgot to bring mine." Luo looked bitterly.

"Very careless, very careless." Meng Shaoyuan severely criticized his housekeeper: "It's so cold in the Northeast, it doesn't matter if you don't bring clothes and freeze, who will help me?"

You are not a thing, Luo said "yes" with a glance, and kept cursing Meng Shaoyuan in his heart.

"Manager Zhu, this is your first time in Manchuria, right?"

"Yes."

Xie Songshan kindly reminded him: "When we go out of the customs, we can no longer shout northeast and northeast like we were inside the customs. This is Manchuria, Manchuria, and there is an emperor, our Emperor Kant."

That's right, this is now the Puppet Manchukuo, and that "Emperor Kant" is the emperor in name...

……

During the period when Zhang Zuolin was in charge of the Northeast, the Northeast entered a golden age of economic development, and all aspects of industry, agriculture, mining, commerce, and finance achieved great development. No matter the scale of operation, production efficiency, and development speed, they were all at the forefront. The forefront of the country.

Especially before the September [-]th Incident, civil wars continued all over the country. Only the Northeast, with the influx of people entering the Guandong, showed a thriving scene in all fields of the economy, and the economy was unprecedentedly prosperous.

At that time, the Northeast region could be said to be an important grain production base in the world, especially in the 20s, more than 20% of the world's soybeans came from Northeast China.

In terms of military industry, Zhang Zuolin established the arsenal of the three eastern provinces on the basis of the Fengtian Ordnance Bureau, and later established the Northeast Aviation Factory and the Navy Factory.The military industry in the Northeast left far behind the rest of the country, so much so that the Japanese were amazed when they took over the arsenal left by Zhang Xueliang on September [-].

On the basis of military industry as the support, the Northeast also vigorously developed heavy industry and mining.A large number of modern industrial sectors such as machinery manufacturing plants, foundry plants, power plants, and iron plants were built.

In terms of transportation, the Northeast has established its own railway network and established the Northeast Shipping Bureau, which is responsible for shipping.

During Japan’s occupation of Northeast China, the Manchurian Railway was used as a fulcrum to develop the Manchurian Railway into a complex involving railways, mines, machinery, electricity, steel and other fields through the high profits obtained.

Such a pity for such a good place.

Why did you give it up to the Japanese?
Without Tohoku, Japan's domestic economy would have collapsed on its own.

It's no use even brainwashing the Japanese people.

There are prodigal things every year, but the little six can be regarded as the only one who can ruin the family like this.

Meng Shaoyuan was also thinking that even if he didn't know anything about military affairs, if he wanted to let himself take command, relying on such a large family business left by the old man, the air force, army, and tanks could be persisted if they were combined together. A lot of time, right?
such a pity.

If I don't come to the Northeast, I think this place is very backward, and the transportation basically depends on horse-drawn carriages and legs.Only when you arrive in person, you will know that the traffic development here is far beyond your imagination.

After leaving the customs, all the way to take the train, directly arrived at "Xinjing".

It's just that on the train, Japanese soldiers always appeared to check their documents. Fortunately, Xie Songshan was by his side, so the journey was safe and sound.

Finally arrived at Changchun, the "capital" of the Puppet Manchukuo... No, Xinjing, Meng Shaoyuan kept reminding himself that it must be called Xinjing.

As soon as you enter Xinjing, the biggest feeling is that there are Japanese people everywhere.

Japanese expatriates, Japanese military police, this place seems to be Japan's territory.

As much as Xie Songshan was so considerate, he arranged Meng Shaoyuan and the two of them in the Manchuria Hotel, the best hotel in Xinjing, which was also run by the Japanese.

The manager of the hotel, Jintian Youjiang, was acquainted with Xie Songshan, and Xie Songshan helped Meng Shaoyuan and the others be a guarantor.

"Name, what are you doing here?" When asking the waiter to register, Kaneda Yue's face was full of disdain for the Chinese who came from the pass.

"Zhu Yanfan, come here to buy goods and do business."

Unexpectedly, a string of fluent Japanese came out of Meng Shaoyuan's mouth.

"You can speak Japanese?" Kaneda Yue was startled.

"Yes, my mother is Japanese, from Tokyo." Meng Shaoyuan replied in fluent Japanese: "My grandfather was once the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of China government."

Jintian Yujiang suddenly realized.

Although the Japanese are very arrogant on Chinese soil, in fact, many Japanese, at least before the September [-]th Incident, were proud of marrying their daughters to the sons of high-ranking Chinese officials or celebrities.

After all, no matter how weak China is, it was once a powerful state.

There used to be a person surnamed Zuo, who was a descendant of Zuo Zongtang, a side branch.When I was studying in Japan, I was attracted by the daughter of a high-ranking Japanese official, but this Zuo had a lot of backbone and was unwilling to marry a Japanese woman.

As a result, this woman threatened her with a hunger strike. When the Japanese family heard that this person was a descendant of Zuo Zongtang, their father, mother, brother, and cousin all came to the residence surnamed Zuo to lobby, and even begged bitterly.

Finally, under the persuasion of friends from the same village, Zuo reluctantly married this Japanese woman.

When Meng Shaoyuan said this, Jintian Yujiang immediately felt a little familiar with him.

How did he know that the "Zhu Yanfan" in front of him was always talking nonsense, but the lies he made up were always point-to-point, but he always got to the point, making people who listened believe it.

Coupled with his fluent Japanese, with a strong Japanese accent, Kaneda Yue has no doubts.

"Give him a room on the third floor." Jintian Youjiang took the pen from the waiter and changed the guarantor from Xie Songshan to his own name.

The room on the third floor has the best facilities in the entire Manzhou Hotel.

And the guarantor is Japanese, so there will be no trouble in the future.

It was also the first time that Xie Songshan knew that "Zhu Yanfan" actually had Japanese blood in him, and he spoke Japanese so fluently. Fortunately, he was very respectful to him along the way.

No wonder he became the deputy general manager at such a young age. It turns out that the backstage at home is very hard.

Xie Songshan is a Manchurian, knows some Japanese, and can barely communicate with Japanese people, but Luo is dumbfounded at a glance.

How can Chief Meng speak so fluently in Japanese?And after a few words, the Japanese's attitude towards him changed a lot.

"Mr. Zhu, if you need anything, you can call the front desk." Jintian Youjiang said enthusiastically: "If you want to apply for a pass in Xinjing, I can help you do it. There is Manzhou Hotel as a guarantor, that is There must be no problem."

"Thank you so much." Meng Shaoyuan took out a wad of money: "Here is two thousand yen, which is temporarily stored with you. You can deduct our board and lodging expenses, as well as the fee for applying for a pass. If it is not enough , tell me anytime."

"Enough, enough."

Jintian Yujiang was very happy.

This young man is of Japanese descent, and he is also a high-ranking official in China, and he is so generous, so he must be friends with him.

Xie Songshan personally sent Meng Shaoyuan to the room: "Manager Zhu, tonight, I will be the host in the 'Holy Grace Hall', which is the place where the emperor used to eat. Inscription, Man Xinjing can never find a better restaurant than it.”

Meng Shaoyuan asked: "Who is Elder Du Ge?"

"Du Mingshan, once a great scholar in the Qing Dynasty, was given a military plane to travel. After the Qing Dynasty was gone, Du Ge wanted to jump into a well to die for his country. Unfortunately, the mouth of the well was too narrow, and he was persuaded by his servants, so it didn't work. .”

Luo on the side glanced at him and laughed out loud.

After the Qing Dynasty disappeared, there were too many people who wanted to die and die for the country in order to repay the kindness of the dragon. Unfortunately, none of them died. They were either persuaded by their family members or pulled by their disciples.

In a word, if you want to commit suicide, you must have someone by your side. If there is only one person, who will show this drama of being loyal to the country?Could it be that he was really dead?
Xie Songshan just pretended not to hear: "Later, when the commander in chief came to Beijing, Du Ge always supported the restoration...well, the restoration of the Qing Dynasty. It's a pity that after the commander in chief was defeated...the emperor succeeded in restoring the country in Manchuria. As the chief of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, Chief Ma was appointed. Later, he thought he could become Chief of the Ministry of Justice, but unfortunately, Chief Feng was appointed. In the end, Elder Du Ge only served as the assistant to the Chief of the Ministry of Justice, so he had some complaints. "

This time even Meng Shaoyuan wanted to laugh.

"Elder Du Ge's second son, Du Zhenxian, is on good terms with me. He works in the industrial department. I invite him to come here tonight. It's a welcome for Manager Zhu."

"Thank you, thank you!" Meng Shaoyuan cupped his hands.

It seemed that at this evening's welcome banquet, he was going to face a bunch of ghosts and monsters.
