Lord Lafayette?

When Shen Lang heard that this really involved that person, he became interested.

Shen Qingfeng and Zhang Qianhe obviously knew the inside story, but they also listened very seriously.

They wanted to see how much the young Chief Chu knew about this humiliating history.

As the saying goes, by learning from history, you can know the rise and fall, by learning from people, and you can understand the gains and losses. Only those who truly remember history can continuously push the wheel of society forward.

A person who does not understand history and does not remember history is by no means a talented person.

Seeing that the three of them were listening, Chu Mufeng put down his chopsticks, sat up straight, sorted out his thoughts, and slowly told the history.

"Measure the material resources of China and make the country happy. This empress dowager who was powerful in the Qing Dynasty might never have imagined that because of her words, the Chinese nation was nailed to the pillar of shame. Just because of her thoughts, it directly led to disasters and permanent shame in China."

It really has something to do with that old lady!

Shen Lang blinked. Although he also graduated from the police academy, training is better than academics. It is normal for him to not know the whole story.

When he was in school, Shen Lang was more playful. He did not become mature like he is now, and he had more responsibility and responsibility.

"Shen Lang, you should know the "Xin Chou Treaty"?" Chu Mufeng asked with a side face.

"I know this!"

Shen Lang nodded and said without thinking: "In 1990, the Boxer Rebellion emerged, and later failed under the brutal suppression of the Eight-Nation Alliance. In August of the same year, the Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beiping City, and the old Buddha fled west with Emperor Guangxu."

"After the following year, on September 7, 1901, this Lafayette signed the "Xin Chou Treaty" with the great powers!"

"right!"

A trace of gloom flashed in Chu Mufeng's eyes and he said in a deep voice: "It is this "Xin Chou Treaty" that directly traps our country in the history of humiliating and protesting."

"Because of this treaty, the Qing Dynasty paid a huge sum of 450 million taels of silver. Do you know what the deadliest is? It actually allows foreign troops to garrison in Beiping City and 12 strategic locations along the route from Beiping to Shanhaiguan."

"Shame! This is the national humiliation!"

"At that time, Beiping City had not been renamed, and it was the capital of the Qing Dynasty. Foreign enemies were allowed to station troops outside the capital. What do you think is this? Is it strategic security? It is the national humiliation!"

Shen Qingfeng looked embarrassed and angry when he heard this.

Zhang Qianhe was also angry.

Even Shen Lang was stimulated by Chu Mufeng's explanation and was full of indignation.

"At this point, we talk about the island country. The island country has never died of the desire to destroy China. They are eyeing China in the name of the so-called ***** circle. Now, it is the case, and it is the same before."

"With the provisions of the Xin Chou Treaty, the island countries established the Qing garrison in the name of protecting expatriates and protecting roads."

"The headquarters of this army is in Tianjin, and of course there are also barracks in Beiping City. Since then, the island country has begun to garrison troops outside Beiping City, Tianjin, Shanhaiguan and other places one after another." Chu Mufeng raised three fingers and said.

"What's even more ridiculous is that in that era, these so-called armies could not be said to be invaders, because they were signed by the Lafayette, and they came to help you maintain public order in China."

Speaking of this, Chu Mufeng's emotions had become excited, and a light of grief and anger appeared in his eyes, and he said with full of hatred.

"Even if we sign a treaty that is powerless and humiliating, we will even introduce the island country with ambition to the core area of ​​North China. This is to attract the wolf into the house, this is to help the evil, this is to shame the country!"

"Do you know? The island army is even more thorough about the situation inside and outside our city of Peking than we know ourselves. An army that has been stationed outside the city of Peking for 35 years often stares at it so fiercely. What's the secret to it?"

"Shen Lang, didn't you just know that the three northeastern provinces were invaded? I don't know what happened to the island troops outside the city of Peking? Do you know now?"

"I can also tell you that the infamous Kwantung Army was established in 1919, and this Chinese garrison was established eighteen years ago! What did you say that the island country did not want to invade us?" Chu Mufeng said loudly.

"well!"

Shen Qingfeng sighed and said helplessly: "Secretary of the Department of State just now is right. This is also the fundamental reason why these island troops often cause trouble."

"You said an army that has been squatting next to your house for thirty-five years and has been stubborn and has a clear understanding of your family's situation. Are they familiar with the situation when doing things?"

"So that's the case!"

Shen Lang, who had a very ugly face, had completely understood the ins and outs of the troops garrisoned outside the city of Peking. It would be fine if he didn't know it, but it was really bad to know it. It was really hard to imagine that such a thing could happen.

"Mu Feng is right, this is a national humiliation!"

"But even if you know that this is a national humiliation, what can those officials do?"

Shen Qingfeng shook his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this topic. Today, Lao Zhang and I invited Chief Chu, you to have dinner. There is something I want to ask for your opinion. We just want to hear your opinion on this matter."

"What's the matter?" Chu Mufeng calmed down the grief and anger on his body and asked slowly.

"The center of gravity moves south!"

Shen Qingfeng took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone: "What we want to talk about is the migration south. As for the current situation in Peking City, we feel that it is risky if we stay, so we want to move south."

"Moving south is not a trivial matter. Not to mention a big family like us, even if it is just a small family and a small family wanting to relocate the whole thing is a big matter, do you think?"

"Not bad!" Chu Mufeng nodded.

"I am quite supportive of the entire choice of moving south. Uncle Shen, I mentioned this to Shen Lang a few days ago and asked him to go back and discuss with his family."

"I think the current situation in Beijing is no longer suitable for continuing to stay and do big business. There are two reasons. First, China's economic center is not here now, and you don't have much development prospects for you to stay."

"The second is the island country garrison where Chen Bing is outside. I have a sense that the island country army will not always engage in small-scale friction like this. If a big war really happens, can the Beiping City be defended?"

"Okay, let's take a step back and say that even if we can defend it, the impact on the economy at that time would be unimaginable. You big businessmen will only be affected by disasters."

Speaking of this, Chu Mufeng felt a little hoarse in his throat. He picked up the teacup and drank a few sips. After moistening his throat, he continued: "So I think your best choice is to move south. Of course, you two have great families and great business, and there will be difficulties in transferring, but compared with the difficulties, I think it is better than falling into a pit."

"As the saying goes, moving trees to death and people to live, moving south may not be a bad thing, maybe it is an opportunity."

"Well said, I agree!"

After listening to these analysis, Zhang Qianhe exclaimed and said with some excitement: "What Chief Chu said is what I have discussed with Lao Shen before, and we also think that moving south is imperative."

"No matter what the situation in Beiping City will end up, moving the southward center will eventually be a way of retreat, and it will never be wrong to leave one more way of retreat."

"Haha, since you both have thought about it, why do you still come to me? You two, you don't want to listen to my analysis as simple as it is, right?" Chu Mufeng glanced over the two of them and said with a playful smile.

The moment they said this, Shen Qingfeng and Zhang Qianhe's eyelids couldn't help but hopped slightly. They looked at Chu Mufeng with an expression as before, but they no longer dared to treat him as a young man who didn't understand the world in their hearts.

Not everyone can see their purpose.

It is a kind of courage to say it without saying it, but dare to say it calmly.

"Happy! I like to talk to people like Chief Chu who are open-minded. Yes, we two not only want to listen to your analysis, but also want to talk to you about this matter." Zhang Qianhe said, turning the wine cup in front of him.

"What's the big deal?" Chu Mufeng sat steadily on Diaoyutai with a calm expression.

"Cooperate!" Zhang Qianhe said frankly.

"cooperate?"

Chu Mufeng raised his lips and asked, "President Zhang, I don't know what can I do with you two? Besides, you two have been partners for many years. Is it a bit twisted to add me?"

"Old Zhang, there is no need to hide it like this. Chief Chu is not an outsider, he said it clearly."

"If we can agree, we will definitely agree. If we can't, we will not be able to make a deal, and we can't say that there is a knot in our hearts because of this. Chief Chu, do you think so?" Shen Qingfeng played a role next to him and said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll just say it!"

Zhang Qianhe's expression remained unchanged and said slowly: "My Jianling Chamber of Commerce, the Shen family behind Old Shen, cannot be said to be one of the best first-class chambers of commerce in Peking City, but there are also many industries."

"If we want to move south this time, the main business will definitely be moved away, but even if we move again, some industries will be left behind. Although these industries are not big, no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they will still be meat. We want to cooperate with Chief Chu and ask Chief Chu to help take care of these industries that are inconvenient to move away."

I see.

I just said that this meal is not that delicious, it is the reason.

The Shen family and the Jianling Chamber of Commerce have great business, so their main industries will naturally not be left behind. Even if there are difficulties or difficulties, they have to move away.

Because without these industries, they will lose their foundation for development.

As for the other auxiliary industries, they don’t move away and don’t want to deal with them casually, so they think of such a compromise solution.

Keeping these industries may still be opportunities for development in the future.

La Chu Mufeng joined the gang and left it to him to take care of it, just as to leave them an opportunity to return.

The cunning rabbit has three caves. Even if they want to move south, they will not move them all without saying anything.

Of course, it’s not that they don’t know other relationships, but the other people are too unscrupulous. If they agree on cooperation, they may end up being given up for nothing!

Shen Lang sat beside him and wanted to speak but stopped.

This is a bit different from what he originally thought!
