Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Such conditions have gone beyond the scope of normal commercial loans, and are completely new unequal defeat treaties.

In fact, Yuan Shikai is not a fool, nor does he want to be a traitor.Seeing these terms, he was confused, so he chose to borrow money from other companies secretly, including Belgian Bank.

It is said that Xiong Xiling, the then Chief Financial Officer, came up with a solution to the problem. Why did you, Yuan Yuan, have to pay taxes? Isn’t it because you have no money?If you have money, are you still in a hurry to ask for this tax?Don't be in a hurry to ask for this tax, do you still care whether the great powers admit it or not?

That's right, so Lao Yuan immediately asked Xiong Xiling to go to Belgian Bank to discuss a loan.

Chapter 103 Great Development ([-])

On January 1912, 1, some Anglo-French-Belgian banks that were excluded from the six-country banking consortium formed an international consortium, represented by Belgian Belgian Bank, and began to secretly contact the Beiyang government and negotiate loans .

Compared with the aggressive five-nation banking group, the conditions of the Belgian Bank can no longer be described as gentle, it is simply gentle.The contract stipulates that the interest on the loan is 1000%, with [-]% deduction, and the payment will be made [-] days after signing the contract; China will guarantee the loan with its ordinary annual revenue and the net profit and property of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, and agrees to give the consortium the priority to lend [-] million pounds .The most important point is that there is no specific purpose of borrowing.Then there is nothing to hesitate, sign decisively, this loan is called Belgian loan in history.

On March 3, the two parties signed a contract, and the first payment of about 14 million pounds will arrive in the account.When the news came out, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the banking group of the five countries. They immediately accused Yuan Shikai of breaking his promise, and the ministers of various countries also put pressure on Yuan Shikai.In the end, on April 100, Yuan Shikai had to refund the Belgian loan and continued to borrow money from the five-nation bank consortium.

As a result, the strongest buying and selling banking business in human history was born, and the five-nation banking group was also nailed to the pillar of shame in history because of its arrogance.

Please remember their names: HSBC Bank of the United Kingdom, Amoy Bank of France, Deutsche Bank of Germany, Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank of Russia, and Yokohama Specie Bank of Japan.

In the end, Belgian Bank failed to establish a business relationship with the Beiyang government, and the loan amount of 1000 million pounds still lay on the bank's books.Mr. Frankie hoped to lend the money out, and after Ye Zuwen returned to Hankou, he publicized Wang Zhenyu's Xiangxi Development Plan everywhere, which also attracted Frankie's attention. He made an appointment with Hans, the manager of the Hankou Branch of Lihe , and Felix from Luxembourg, visited Ye Zuwen together, and clearly hoped to know the details of the Xiangxi Development Plan, and if possible, hoped to provide loans and investment for this project.

In this regard, Belgium had previously cooperated with Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang in the Qing Dynasty. The Luhan Railway with a total length of more than 1200 kilometers was funded by the Belgians.

The same is true for Luxembourg. The chief engineer of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Works is a Luxembourger Lubel.

As for German Lihe foreign companies, many Chinese bridge and railway constructions have their shadows.However, the most famous is the construction of Qingdao, and this foreign firm contributed the most.As soon as Wang Zhenyu heard the name of Lihe foreign firm, he immediately became interested. He was planning to build the entire capital of Xiangxi in Anjiang. What he lacked was talents and companies with experience in this field. No, he sent it to his door. . .

As a future man who is familiar with history, Wang Zhenyu also considered the issue of introducing foreign capital at the beginning of the development of power on the separatist side.This is not just a financial issue, but also a technical issue.

Although China in this era has established a certain industrial foundation after decades of efforts by the Westernization Movement, this foundation is weak.It is equivalent to the fact that Chinese football in later generations does not engage in infrastructure construction or reform of the management system, but is satisfied with selecting dozens of seedlings to form an overseas team.The Westernization Movement is a Chinese football-style reform movement based on the standard of not touching the fundamental system of the Qing Dynasty. Such a tree with a bad foundation and unclear goals is doomed to not grow any good fruits from the beginning.

As a result, decades have passed. Although the Westernization Movement has bloomed a few bright red flowers, it still cannot change the vastness of China.

In contrast, although Wang Zhenyu's control is limited to one area in western Hunan, the economy, culture, and transportation of this area are rubbish in the whole country.But as far as the basis of rule is concerned, it is ahead of this era.

A precursor to the collapse of a regime is the high concentration of power and interests.Why do you say that?Because people are the most advanced animals in the world, when your family monopolizes all the benefits, no matter how hard others try, they can't change their own situation, but they can only contribute to your happiness.Everyone will make two choices, the first is to remain silent, and the second is to explode.

Many people will wonder, is there no third option?Yes, but only one person would choose the third option, the selfless and dedicated Lei Feng.

Why can't the Chinese football of later generations succeed?It is because everything has been turned into a small circle.

Management power has always been in the hands of the Football Association and its superior department, the General Administration of Sports, while football investors are not allowed to have any say except for paying;

The selection of players and coaches is always in the hands of the management department, and there is only one criterion for their selection of personnel, which is the distance or closeness of the relationship;

The league's dividends will always be dominated by the management department, of course, this is also the reason why they cling to the management right;

As for the interests of investors in this industry, it can be summed up in one sentence in English: whocareyou? Who cares about you?

The hour hand points to 2013, and China is still like this 100 years later, so let's go back to the Republic of China 1912 years ago in 100.

In Xiangxi, a small place where Miao and Han people live together, where bandits, Gelaohui, Shenbing, and chambers of commerce intersect with various forces, Wang Zhenyu, the actual ruler of the four prefectures and twenty counties, has carried out a subversive political reform.

Relying on his own military strength, he successfully integrated all the forces in western Hunan in just a few months.And the reason why he was able to gain the recognition of all parties is very simple, stick and carrot.

For those who threaten his rule or disobey him, a big killing stick will be thrown down on your head unceremoniously.Now in the west gate of Jingzhou County, the heads of more than 40 bandit leaders, including Yang Shouyin, who gathered together to attack the county, are still hanging there. . .

For those who support him, his rewards are also immediate.He set a precedent for the rulers of all dynasties in China, and handed over the local civil power to these supporters.Its essence is the same as the land responsibility contract system of later generations, where county people rule the county and civil affairs take care of themselves.Clan power, business gang power, and social prestige in various places found themselves suddenly transferred from the government's rule to the government's head almost overnight.As long as they paid enough taxes for the guardian envoy, they could discuss matters other than the army in this one-third of an acre of land in their hometown.The county magistrate is appointed and dismissed by himself, and the county government is formulated by himself. There are no more airborne officials with ulterior motives coming here to grab the land, no more county magistrates who destroy their families, and governors who destroy their families.This feeling of being the master of the family makes everyone willing to take out their own private property, build roads, build bridges, and set up a school in their hometown, because the money will not be greedy by the original Shangguan, and these infrastructures Improvements can be enjoyed by yourself and your children and grandchildren.

Wealth can be laid out generously, brightened and exposed to the sun, without worrying about being targeted by the government. On the contrary, the current government has to worry about being targeted by itself. This feeling is so wonderful.

Of course, in the eyes of these tycoons, the reform is still somewhat imperfect. First, they still cannot act recklessly at the local level, because the guardian envoy actually sent the so-called judicial agencies, courts and procuratorates.Not long ago, more than a dozen congressmen who committed crimes were deprived of their identities, and four of them were taken to Hongjiang and executed by shooting.People always like to have the power to restrict others, and at the same time hate their own power being restricted by others. The existence of guards makes them feel very restricted;

Second, on the territory of Xiangxi, no matter how rich and powerful people like myself are, they will be firmly suppressed by the guardian envoy.Power is fascinating. It would be more perfect if the guards could disappear and the county governed by the people of Xiangxi would become Xiangxi governed by the people of Xiangxi. But everyone still has to face the reality in the end.Looking at the whole country, although everyone is shouting for independence, constitutionalism, and return of government to the people, the one who can really hand over civil affairs to the local governments is Marshal Wang.

Yes, Marshal Wang, this title full of warlord meaning has been widely circulated among the gentry in various counties, and it is generally used to refer to and honor our classmate Wang Zhenyu.

Historians who study the history of the Republic of China have also been arguing about a question. Is the father of China's revolution actually Sun Yat-sen who proposed the Three Revolutions?It's still this Wang Zhenyu who looks a little crazy. . .

However, in August 1912, the Belgian Frankie made an extremely accurate judgment on Wang Zhenyu: "This is a person with super controlling power. I can conclude that in at least the next ten years, unless there is a major Otherwise, the rule of this guardian in Xiangxi will be as indestructible as Zaire's diamonds. His sphere of influence is worth our risky investment. More importantly, he is different from other barbaric, vulgar, greedy and corrupt Chinese officials. From the so-called local autonomy policy of counties governed by the people, we can see that this is an official who understands politics, the law, and is very pragmatic. Since he can protect the private property of businessmen in his country from infringement, he can naturally Let our investment be protected."

In fact, there are still some errors in Mr. Frankie's judgment. Wang Zhenyu doesn't understand sex as well as he said. Even if he came from later generations, due to the education he received and the national conditions, Wang Zhenyu's concept of sex is quite vague.Therefore, he will not be soft-hearted or vague when killing opponents. As for the law, Wang Zhenyu's understanding can be summed up in ten words: "The law serves the ruler."

The reason why he chose county people to govern the county, the reason for local autonomy is very simple:

First, he is not from Xiangxi, but from Baoqing. If he wants to gain support, he must have enough bargaining chips. Otherwise, the strong regional exclusivity of the Chinese will make him a short-lived ruler without the support of the provincial government; now Well, as soon as he has this bargaining chip, no one in the provincial government can replace him.

Second, he needs money. If he wants to get ahead in this era, it's bullshit if he doesn't have the strength.And the real strength of this thing is to develop the economy and expand the army. It seems that both of these require a large amount of capital investment.And if you don't have enough benefits and don't bundle the benefits, why should a shrewd businessman pay for it?Is it true that if you really shout a big development plan for Xiangxi, the people of Xiangxi will give generously?Do your Chinese dream and go!

The third and most important point is that in the eyes of ordinary people, Wang Zhenyu has a background, and his uncle is Wang Longzhong.But in fact, compared with Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat-sen and other representatives of group interests, Wang Zhenyu still has only one back.

For a power to become popular, it is definitely not just a few clicks with a golden finger.The military needs talents, the politics needs talents, and the economy needs talents even more.Do the math, how many talents do you need to cover more than 20 counties?Wang Zhenyu can't cover it, so simply, you take care of yourself.As long as the brother holds the gun firmly, anyone will work for him, and there is no need to pay high labor costs.
