Chapter 98 Section 2 Banknotes for Two Trains

Chen Zhiji was not a member of the Tongmenghui or a revolutionary party, just because he was in Nanjing and within Sun Wen's sphere of influence.If he didn't support raising troops to challenge Yuan, he would definitely be killed by someone sent by Sun Wen.So he knelt down and begged Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu Province: Let's raise troops, hurry up, and if you don't fight, your brains will be gone... So Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, came to meet with Huang Xing. The historic dialogue between the two was super amusing. Cheng Dequan said: "Yuan Shikai's lawlessness, the public outrage of the world, how dare Jiangsu be independent?"My intention is to pretend to be invincible first, so as to wait for the enemy to be victorious.Fortunately, the public was very relieved when he suddenly started to do things.

Huang Xing was overjoyed: Xing temporarily ruled the army, and Yu Wei obeyed the order of the governor. The meaning of this conversation between the two is: Cheng Dequan said, Yuan Shikai is too irritating, if Huang Xing hits him, I firmly support it.Huang Xing said, great, then I will call and you will pay. Where does Cheng Dequan have money?Immediately he hummed and said: "Yuan Shikai killed so much, I naturally agree to beg Yuan."But sending troops requires payment and weapons, in short, money.But I, Lao Cheng, have no money. If you want to ask me for money, I will die for you.

Huang Xing was about to speak, but Cheng Dequan blocked him quickly: If you want to collect money from the common people, don't even think about it, my old Cheng will never do anything that harms the people. Huang Xing was furious: Look at you, old Cheng...you wait until I discuss it with Chen Qimei from Shanghai. So Huang Xing sent a telegram to Chen Qimei: Let's do it in Nanjing first, but you Shanghai must pay for it. Without money, there is no way to change the lives here. Chen Qimei's call back was extremely scary. The telegram said: Tomorrow, tomorrow at the latest, I will send you two train banknotes. Please sign for receipt after inspection.

At that time, Huang Xing and Cheng Dequan were stunned. This old Chen was so generous, and he sold two trains' worth of banknotes. So we are so rich. Sure enough, the two trains arrived in Nanjing the next day. Cheng Dequan and Huang Xing opened the door and saw that they almost fainted. It was really full of banknotes for the two trains, and it was not fake at all.Excited Cheng Dequan put his arms around the huge sum of money, cried, and said: Mother Xipi Huang Xing, can you stop cheating?Using this scrapped fake money to pretend to be military pay, do you think I am heartless?When you ask me to send this money down, are you cheating the soldiers or the common people?

Huang Xing was also dumbfounded, no wonder Chen Qimei was so happy this time, it turned out to be waste money that could not be spent. The abolition of banknotes by these two trains has caused Yuan Shikai misfortune, and Lao Yuan once again has a mouth to say. Why did this matter get on Yuan Shikai's head again? The thing is like this. It is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a young boy named Shen and Manyun one day. He became a Christian when he was 12 years old.This banking industry saved the country, and Shen Manyun made money and made countless money.So he first funded Hunan Tang Changcai and the Brothers and Elders Association to revolt, with a sponsorship of 15,000 yuan.Since then, he has become the main sponsor of the Shanghai Revolutionary Party, scolding Yuan Shikai's newspaper "Minli Daily" every day, which was sponsored by Shen Manyun.

After that, Shen Manyun's Xincheng Bank became Chen Qimei's cash machine. After sponsoring the recovery of Shanghai, Shen Manyun also served as the director of the finance department of the Shanghai military government.Chen Qimei took this opportunity to take away all the positions in the bank and send them to the militia for dinner.The people's army hadn't had enough food yet, and Shen Manyun's Xincheng Bank had already been eaten to the point of bankruptcy. That's how it got poor. Shen Manyun was very depressed, so he went to Dalian to relax. Here, Chen Qimei found that there were two trainloads worth of banknotes in Xincheng Bank's warehouse, and they transported them to Nanjing.Analyzing it, Chen Qimei should know that these banknotes cannot be used, and he would have used them himself if they could be used.He clearly knew that it was abolished banknotes, but he deliberately transported these banknotes to Nanjing because...

It's just because the Revolutionary Party can't pay Shen Manyun's debt, and they don't plan to pay it back. But if you owe so much money to Shen Manyun, how can you not pay it back? Shen Manyun was assassinated by the Kuomintang in Dalian.The "Minli Daily" funded and sponsored by him expressed condolences and denounced Yuan Shikai as the murderer behind the scenes.So in the end, the scapegoat for the abolition of banknotes on these two trains was finally successfully deducted from Yuan Shikai.Moreover, Chen Qimei was also exempted from repaying this debt that would never be repaid.

As for Shen Manyun, a genius banker, his mistake was that he was tainted with a revolutionary party that had no bottom line.Money was spent and people were killed. This is his tragedy and his unwiseness.
