Old Tianjin people call Financial Street “a street paved with gold and silver.”
The newspaper called it "Tinmen Wall Street".
This all makes sense.
When Zhao Chuanxin opened the money bank and saw mountains of silver coins, gold, paper and pens inside, he couldn't believe it.
The banks in the capital pale in comparison to this one.
If I had known better, I would not have ventured to the capital, but would have come directly here to solve the problem at once.
The two people outside just glanced inside, their breathing almost stopping.
Everywhere Zhao Chuanxin walked, all the money was emptied.
According to some estimates, the total amount of all the money is at least seven to eight million silver dollars.
When Gao Li and Er Feizi were waiting for Zhao Chuanxin to come out, they heard Zhao Chuanxin say, "Damn, this is at most only one-tenth of the assets of that old boy Yikuan. Where is my money hidden?"
Gao Li and Er Feizi ""
Just a glimpse just made them breathless, you are still too young
Zhao Chuanxin What you don’t know is that the foreign-funded banks that came to China at this time usually supported foreign businessmen in exporting large quantities of goods to China through loans, overdrafts, etc., in order to obtain cheap raw materials and make huge profits.
Although the bank has money, it cannot always be kept in the vault.
"Let's go, the next one, we have to make up for the money of that old boy Yikuang before we are done."
""
Amundi, Yokohama Zhengjin, later Zhao Chuanxian and two people visited these two banks successively and obtained a total of 7 million yuan in silver dollars.
In the end, when Ruiji Foreign Company ransacked the Yankees' money bank, they discovered that there were a lot of arms, foreign wine, foreign cigarettes, etc. piled in the warehouse.
Zhao Chuanxin doesn’t understand at all. Almost all foreign companies nowadays are engaged in arms trading business.
What kind of weapons he wants to buy, he doesn’t need to find others to match them, he only needs to find a foreign company to buy them and place an order.
But now he almost understands this.
They emptied out all the millions of silver coins and warehouses inside, and when they were about to go out and continue to patronize the next store, they were still discovered.
A team of horses soon realized something was wrong. They saw broken glass and pieces of iron fence scattered on the ground.
After all, this place is connected in all directions. There are roads and streets everywhere, so it is easy to find abnormalities.
As soon as Zhao Chuanxin and the others came out, they were immediately spotted running towards Ruiji Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.
"Rub"
Zhao Chuanxin was still surprised by the so-called guilty conscience, but he was not too scared.
A Ma Kuai carrying a thirteen-ring Winchester raised his gun and shouted loudly, "Surrender, kneel down and not kill."
Zhao Chuanxin stood on one side and raised his head. The hand is a shot.
Ma Kuai was shot in the shoulder and fell to the ground before the gun went off.
That’s all they have is a gun.
SecondI personally tried to pick up the gun, but was also shot in the shoulder.
The group of horses quickly dispersed.
He didn’t even care about his companion who fell to the ground.
Zhao Chuanxin put away his gun, walked to the two Ma Kuai who fell to the ground, threw thirty yuan on the ground, and left without saying a word.
He discovered that one of them turned out to be Zhou Yuxiang
Zhou Yuxiang originally thought that he would die today.
Unexpectedly, what was waiting in the end was not bullets, but silver dollars
The two people looked at each other on the ground, "What does he mean?"
"Give us "
The two of them looked at their shoulder injuries and came up with an incredible idea.
The man hit them on the shoulder intentionally, not by accident.
The man injured them, but for some unknown reason, he gave them a small subsidy
Ma Kuai’s whistle had already sounded, and Zhao Chuanxin knew that it would not be long before the enemy arrived. Get lively.
The three of them ran quickly and joined the people outside.
The three of them entered the bank, and others met them at the bridge.
Hearing the gunfire, Liu Guogui and others who were ambushing at the bridge did not act rashly.
They believed in Zhao Chuanxin's combat effectiveness, but they were still anxious inside.
Liu Guogui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the three figures of Zhao Chuanxin.
A group of people began to cross the bridge. Once they crossed the bridge, the sky was high and the sea was vast.
It was just at this time that the Marine Police arrived.
Seat a small steamboat upstream from the Haihe River.
Ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong process began to shoot at the bridge, and the bullets collided with the bridge body, causing violent sparks.
Zhao Chuanxin ignored them at all, because he couldn't hit them at all.
The marine police team began to go ashore and cleverly blocked the other side of the bridge.
Zhao Chuanxin stopped and took out his rifle to take aim.
Bang
Bang
Bang
Then, the marine police team over there dispersed, leaving three people lying on the ground. The companions wailed and waited for death.
As a group of people crossed the bridge, Zhao Chuanxin casually threw dozens more yuan on the ground.
The three desperate wounded men looked at them in confusion as they passed by without saying a word.
“These people are really scary.”
“Yeah, they didn’t say a word and didn’t even look at us.”
“What the hell is that? "People"
"I don't know, I came here when I heard the alarm"
Zhao Chuanxin and others found the horse and changed their clothes while running.
I took off my old coat and jacket, threw it directly on the roadside, and put on my down jacket.
Since Zhao Chuanxin did not plan to continue going south, there was no need to hide it, and he quickly prepared to leave Tianjin City.
However, he overlooked one point.
At this time, the telegraph system was more complete in coastal cities. Because the Qing court did not agree to the electricity rollout at firstWhen reporting lines, they feel disorganized and unsightly, damaging the feng shui, costing a lot of money, etc.
At this point, their attitude towards foreigners is very firm.
The foreigners did not tolerate them and laid them directly privately, which was just a line pulled on the bottom of the sea. Later it became an established fact.
In addition, during the war, he found that messages could be transmitted incredibly quickly, but the imperial court needed relay stations to deliver them. After seeing the power of the telegraph, Li Hongzhang suggested that it was better to master communications by himself.
Therefore, as a coastal port, Tianjin City has a more complete telegraph system than BJ.
After Zhao Chuanxin and others made a fuss here, the news immediately spread throughout Tianjin.
As they headed north, checkpoints were set up to block them and they were searched throughout the city.
Everyone looked at Zhao Chuanxin.
"Why are you panicking? Let's take a detour from Ba County. This is where the Boxers invaded Tianjin."
At this time, Shengjing General Zhao Erxun was meeting with Yuan Shikai in Tianjin City. Discuss matters in the three eastern provinces.
In the middle of the night, a subordinate knocked on Yuan Shikai's door and informed him that robbers had robbed the money warehouses of two banks and the warehouse of a foreign bank overnight.
Yuan Shikai was shocked.
He had heard about bank thefts in the capital before, but he never expected that such a thing would happen in his own territory.
"A city-wide search and thorough investigation will be conducted, and the gangsters must not be allowed to leave. Let the chief of the patrol bureau ask the injured patrol officers to see if they can find any clues."
The subordinate replied, "I have already asked. They said that they only picked foreign banks and foreign banks to attack, and they killed the foreigners, but they only injured the shoulders and thighs of our patrol policemen and Ma Kuai, avoiding the vital points. He also left some silver coins"
Yuan Shikai""
Although his own life was not harmed, he vaguely felt that this was not good news.
As expected, news came soon that "they first went north, and probably saw Sheka blocking the road, so they turned west. When they encountered the patrol, they only fired one shot. The patrolman and Ma Kuai fled in all directions. The injured patrolman was not afraid, and he only waited for the reward. Later, the news spread throughout the city, and Ma Kuai deliberately blocked the road and was shot, waiting for the reward. To "
Yuan Shikai"
The subordinates added, "The foreign troops have been organized to pursue them, but the gangsters are fast and fast, so I am afraid they will not be able to catch up." ”
Zhao Chuanxin has already spread out hundreds of yuan, and he is so rich that he doesn’t even blink an eye.
Whether it is a fast horse or a patrolman, it is just a living.
After being shot, as long as the vital part is not hit, you will not die or be maimed, but if you are given dozens of silver dollars at once, there are really people who are willing to do this.
Later, Zhao Chuanxin simply stopped beating people and fired directly. He then walked closer and threw money, and those blocking the way immediately dispersed.
“What the hell, it’s like playing house"Like this." Liu Guobao looked at the horse that was smiling and running away with the money.
Zhao Chuanxin said, "This is also thanks to Tianjin's developed telegraph system, otherwise the news would not spread so fast." "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
