Chapter 168 Section 13 Imperialist interference

So where did Chen Qimei, the governor of Shanghai, get his money? It is said that the Qing Empire, in order to stimulate economic development, open up and invigorate, specially established the Great Qing Bank in Shanghai. Song Hanzhang, who served as the president of the Imperial Bank during the Xinhai period, was called Song Hanzhang.When Shanghai was restored and Chen Qimei became the governor, the first thing he did was to notify Song Hanzhang to allocate funds immediately to support the revolutionary military government. Song Hanzhang said: Is there a mistake?The shareholder of the bank is the imperial court, and you, Chen Qimei, have not changed your shareholding. We are not familiar with you, so how can I send money to you?

President Song dared to say that because the bank was opened in the concession and was protected by imperialism. Song Hanzhang was confident, and he was not afraid of the revolutionary party. After Chen Qimei was rejected, she was quite angry, so she sent her brothers to keep a close eye on Song Hanzhang's whereabouts, and soon found that President Song and his friends were having dinner at Wanliutang. Suzhou Creek, went ashore from the water pavilion and sneaked into the Ten Thousand Willow Hall, suddenly shouted, and everyone rushed in.Song Hanzhang didn't notice, it was too late to run, he was pushed down by the crowd, he pinched his arms and legs, and carried him to the boat.

Song Hanzhang was imprisoned in Caojiadu, and the revolutionary party tortured him every day: Say, where is your bank card hidden?What is the password?Are you recruiting or not?Are you recruiting or not?Snapped!Clap clap! After Song Hanzhang was arrested, his family cried and went to the consulates of various countries in Shanghai to petition, demanding imperialist intervention. The imperialists say: Our favorite thing to do is to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.You said that we will not interfere in this rotten internal affairs, who else would interfere?So a large group of imperialists came to Wu Tingfang together and said: Mithatwu, you are going to the naval government to openly arrest people in our concession. This is a serious violation of international public law. We express our strongest protest!

Wu Tingfang said: coffee or tea?What's the point of you protesting with me?I don't recognize them either. The great powers said: Coffee, no companions.Haven't you been hired by them as a business representative?How can you say it has nothing to do with them? Wu Tingfang said: China's affairs are not something you foreign devils can figure out.Simply put, just two words: complicated, super complicated.It's useless for you to protest to me anyway. The great powers said: It’s fine if it’s useless, but you have to help out and get people out, right?Otherwise, Song Hanzhang's family would go to our consulate to sit in and demonstrate every day, and we have nothing to do.

Wu Tingfang said: Then I will try. So Wu Tingfang contacted Chen Qimei and said: "Old Chen, you have made a big mess. The imperialists are not happy anymore, and they are interfering under the pretext of human rights. Please let him go." Chen Qimei said: Let me make a statement. We strongly oppose the brutal interference of imperialist powers in my country's internal affairs. The history of Chinese people being oppressed and enslaved is gone forever! Wu Tingfang said: But Old Chen, this matter is indeed your fault... Chen Qimei: The Chinese people should not be insulted! Wu Tingfang: Old Chen, no one insulted you...

Chen Qimei: If there is an insult, it is an insult. Wu Tingfang said: "If you insult me, please insult me. Then, Old Chen, please make an offer." Chen Qimei said: "Conditions... I can also see clearly that this old Song can't squeeze out money. If this is the case, I can release him, but he must stop sending money to the court and cut off the capital chain of Manqing." Wu Tingfang said: "I agreed to this condition for him, and now I will send someone to fetch him out." So Wu Tingfang sent someone to drive a car to Caojiadu, and Chen Qimei dragged Song Hanzhang out.Unexpectedly, when Song Hanzhang saw the car, he thought he was going to be shot, so he yelled a reactionary slogan: Twenty years later, he will be a good man again, with a big scar on his head... I will do it, I will do it, I will do it all, please don’t shoot him I...don't care how many people came, I knocked him unconscious with one punch and dragged him back.

After returning, Song Hanzhang was very grateful to Wu Tingfang, and wrote a special book called "Wu Pingfang's Law", in which he made a lot of hype for Wu Tingfang, printed and published it at his own expense, and distributed it everywhere.When the book was published, it happened that the Bank of China in the Republic of China was recruiting a president. He took this book and said: I have research results.He actually became the president of the Bank of China based on this book. This strange book is still sold in second-hand bookstores.
