Chapter 628: One After Another

At the end of October, before the president stepped down, a bunch of things he was worried about happened.

First, in the north.

Zhang Hanqing's sworn brother, Feng Yong, the son of Feng Delin, was captured by the Japanese invaders on the third day after the Fengtian Incident.

He was first placed under house arrest in Fengtian, and the Kwantung Army failed to persuade him to surrender, so they abducted him to Tokyo, Japan.

Fortunately, with the help of a Japanese friend, Feng Yong successfully escaped from Tokyo, went to Beijing via Shanghai, and continued to preside over the school affairs of Feng Yong University.

Feng Yong is a famous patriot and educator in history. Although he was born in a warlord family, he did not act recklessly like those warlord children.

In Fengtian, whenever Ye Luo visited, Zhang Hanqing would look for a partner to play cards with, and the first person he would look for was Feng Yong.

When Ye Luo repeatedly advised Zhang Hanqing, Feng Yong also followed to persuade him, but unfortunately the two sworn brothers failed to persuade him.

In early November, the anti-Japanese volunteer army of Feng Yong University was established, and the teachers and students who were willing to participate in the war of resistance began to seize the time to train.

Feng Yong also felt that the war of resistance could not rely solely on the teachers and students of the school, so he handed over the school affairs to the vice president, and took Wang Huayi, Lu Guangji, Yan Baohang and other progressive people in the north to Jinling to petition the National Government.

He hoped that the Jinling National Government could send troops to fight against Japan. If not, then give his anti-Japanese volunteer army an official number, and then assist them in anti-Japanese propaganda in the north.

In addition, Feng Yong had already exhausted all the private property left by his father. In order to fight against Japan, he had to raise military funds to buy weapons and equipment, otherwise he could only take a big knife to chop the Japanese invaders.

In Tianjin City, after the Fengtian Incident, on November 8, the commander of the Japanese Tianjin Garrison Army, Kashii Hirohei, and the secret agent Doihara Kenji launched a plainclothes riot.

Due to Ye Luo's repeated reminders and assistance, Zhang Xueming, who was well prepared, responded quickly. In the early morning of November 9, the security team jointly formed by the Tianjin City Police Department and Ye's Security Company defeated the attack of the plainclothes team and recaptured the occupied important locations.

But the Japanese invaders did not give up. A few days later, a group of secret agents led a plainclothes team to attack the military and police from the Japanese concession again, and the well-trained security team defeated the riot team again.

Two consecutive small-scale riots were defeated by the security team, which made the Japanese angry and sent a telegram directly to Zhang Hanqing and the principal, asking them to dismiss Zhang Xueming.

The resistance of Zhang Xueming and the security team made the principal feel that he was dragging his feet on major events again, so he immediately sent a secret telegram to Zhang Hanqing, asking him to persuade his brother to be quiet and not to continue to make trouble in Tianjin Port.

In the south, Yu Qiaqing and others saw that Wang's power was growing, and the principal seemed to be unable to escape the fate of stepping down, so they began to quietly bring the caravan to the forces in Jiangcheng.

This time when Song Ziwen went to Jiangcheng, Wang was very happy and agreed to serve as the president of the Executive Yuan and agreed to temporarily negotiate peace with the principal's faction.

Of course, the premise is that he personally returns to Nanjing to preside over the overall situation, and the principal must step down.

At this time, Wang was really in high spirits.

Yan Xishan's warlords had not yet made a complete comeback, and Zhang Hanqing was sweating profusely because of the northern affairs, but he successfully convinced the principal!

Now Wang felt that he had money (Yu Qiaqing and others sent money), people, and the right time, place, and people were all here.

And even the Japanese invaders who invaded the north had a good relationship with the Jiangcheng National Government!

Just when Wang was complacent, Feng Yong and his party took a train to Tianjin City, and then took Zhang Xueming, who was forced to leave Tianjin City and go abroad for inspection, and the party continued to go south and rushed to Shanghai.

In early November, Feng Yong and others arrived in Shanghai by train, and they were subjected to various inspections and body searches as soon as they got off the train.

Song Ziwen was assassinated here, and Tang Yulu died, which made the military and political leaders panic. One by one, they reported to the principal and asked him to order Zhang Qun to increase the security intensity of various transportation hubs in Shanghai.

This business naturally fell into Ye Luo's pocket.

Previously, the Songhu Police Department and the Secret Service Department were in charge of such matters, but after the incident, although Ye Luo successfully saved Ma Yongzhen, he could not participate in any security work in the near future.

As for Dai Li's Secret Service Department.

The last autopsy incident made the Tang family and the Song family very unhappy. Tan Duan, the widow, was not afraid of anyone. If you come to my house, I will dare to confront you.

If you dare not come to my house, I will go directly to you, Dai Li, to ask for an explanation.

Dai Li suffered from being unreasonable, and the principal said that if he caused trouble for Ye Luo again, he would consider transferring him back to Jinling.

The last person transferred back to Jinling was Wang Hu, the former director of the Songhu Police Department, who is still idle at home.

Dai Li immediately straightened his posture. In addition to kowtowing, he gave enough face to Ye Luo and Tan Duan, and even took people to scan some pornographic tabloids to show his sincerity.

The security team member in charge of the inspection saw at a glance that Feng Yong and others had an extraordinary background. After asking around, they learned that they were looking for the second young master, and immediately sent someone to send them to Ye Mansion.

Speaking of which, in order to fight against Japan, Feng Yong really spent all his money.

Not only him, but also people who came to petition this time, such as Lu Guangji, who was obviously a big businessman, were almost penniless, like a homeless person.

Almost all of their working capital that could be used was invested in Feng Yong University.

After all, they called on those teachers and students to fight against Japan, and they couldn't really let them rush forward with swords!

When the group arrived at Ye Mansion, Feng Yong was immediately attracted by the magnificent building.

Now everyone in the north and south says that the second young master has replaced Kong Xiangxi and has become the real richest man in the Republic of China.

But how rich is he? No one can tell a specific number.

Ye Investment had done well in the north before, but it was still far from the top companies. After all, the base camp was in the south, and Ye Luo seemed to be completely indifferent to the north.

Kong Xiangxi had a lot of assets in the north. He controlled various basic industries and acquiesced to his subordinates to transport and sell opium to make huge profits.

Someone has calculated that at least 70% of the opium income in the north alone falls into the pockets of the Kong family every year.

How much is 70% of the profit?

There are two mainstream opinions, one is about 200 million yuan per year, and the other is about 70 million yuan per year.

Why is there such a big difference between the two opinions?

In fact, the root lies in whether the Song family participated in it and shared the money.

Selling opium is an act that the principal has expressly prohibited.

Moreover, the previous anti-smoking committee was run by him. If the Song family participated in it, it would be a slap in the face of the principal.

Anyway, the opium has been completely eliminated in the south, thanks to Ye Luo, a businessman who regards opium as a scourge.

As long as the Ye family invests in a place, no one will be allowed to sell opium!

"Brother Feng, long time no see!"

Hearing that Feng Yong was coming, Ye Luo went out to greet him in person. (End of this chapter)
