Chapter 1629: The coyote is back!(1/2)
Speaking of customs supervision rights, we have to mention the "Xin Chou Treaty", because of this treaty, China's customs has been controlled by foreigners since then. ¤Literature: wxba¤
At first, the Qing government retained the right to keep the tariff custody, which means that the great powers had the final say, and we had to keep the taxes collected by ourselves, and then we used the tariffs to deduct compensation.
After deducting the tariffs from the Boxer Indemnity every year, the remaining Guanyu will naturally be handled by China. Although the amount of money is not large, it still has some effect on China where the poor are almost wearing open-crotch pants.
Later, the Qing government was overthrown, and the great powers forcibly took away the tariff custody rights under the pretext of China's civil war!
From then on, Chinese customs Chinese people could not do anything at all.
In the 18th year of the Republic of China, Nanjing successively signed new treaties with the great powers, and recovered some of the sovereign rights and interests of China, such as tariff custody rights.
However, the customs is still in the hands of foreigners, especially the compensation for Western powers has continued.
Even now, China is almost on the verge of going to war with Japan, and the reparations against Japan are still continuing!
In other words, it sounds ridiculous to use Chinese tariff income to support Japan's territorial aggression against China.
But the actual situation exists!
Until the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Nanjing also instructed the customs not to interrupt the compensation to Japan. The reason was ridiculous: there was no formal declaration of war between China and Japan!
Without declaring war, it is not considered a hostile country, and everything before it can only be considered a conflict!
A ridiculous reason, Japan has almost occupied half of your country, but you say that this is just a conflict.
This kind of strange theory can only be expressed by those big bosses with great spirit in the country.
"This is probably very difficult. Even Zhang Hanqing himself does not have much influence on the customs. Although the government has signed a new treaty with the great powers, the customs is still dominated by foreigners, and the Ministry of Finance has only the power to supervise. With the government's current foreign policy, if we attack the customs, aren't you afraid of causing diplomatic disputes?" Qin Shiyu said.
"I can only endure it for the time being. I still know this truth, but we will import a large number of sensitive items, machinery, medicine and arms from abroad next. If we cannot have a place in the customs, our work will inevitably be affected!" Lu Shan explained.
"But customs supervision is appointed by the Ministry of Finance. It is difficult to replace Tianjin Customs supervision with our people!" Qin Shiyu said.
"Tianjin Customs has a tariff of nearly 5 million taels per year, which is just on the books. Those officials with channels smuggled arms and opium, and evaded taxes every year at least have this number!" Lu Shan explained.
"I understand, you want to attack these smugglers!" Qin Shiyu said.
"We also need to join in the industry, but we can't get some serious channels in some things, so we can only think of other ways!" Lu Shan said.
"Well, you're right. Many things from the great powers don't sell us, and we need them, so we can only use this method!" Qin Shiyu said.
"A Tianjin city is not very useful to me. What I care about is the estuary!" Lu Shan said.
Beiping, Shuncheng County Prince's Mansion.
"What does it mean? He wants the position of Tianjin Customs Supervision?" Zhang Hanqing frowned slightly.
"Master, what medicine is sold in this Lushan gourd?" Tan Hai asked.
"I don't know either. However, his move must have a deep meaning. Could it be that he is interested in tariff income?" Zhang Hanqing said, "Don't he know that during the Central Plains War, Yan Laoxi could not deduct the customs even after taking over the customs, and he could do it?"
"Customs supervision must be appointed by the Ministry of Finance of the State Government. It only has the power of supervision and has no jurisdiction. Even if this position is given to them, the foreigner's temper will not be easy to mess with."
"Do you think he's aimless?"
"Weizhi thinks that we don't have to ask him. Although the general has temporarily stepped down, most of the Northeast Army is in strength, and Nanjing dare not do too much!"
"You don't know how powerful my brother is. As long as I leave, he will soon attack the Northeast Army. If you don't abide by the military order, you will disobey the order. This is not a joke!" Zhang Hanqing said.
If he was here, Chiang Kai-shek would certainly have some concerns and would not dare to do this, but once he left, the Northeast Army had no leader and fought each other, it would be easy to defeat each other.
If you are interested in your heart, look at the entire country, how many people can play with him?
"Master, how do you call back?"
"Promise him, but don't talk too much, after all, this is not something I can decide!" Zhang Hanqing ordered.
"Yes, Grandmaster!"
"Tan Hai, thank you for your hard work now!" Zhang Hanqing said, he went south to treat his illness, but the Zhang family is still living in Beijing, Tianjin and other places. Tan Hai is his housekeeper, and he is in charge of all the expenses at home!
In other words, as soon as Zhang Hanqing left, Tan Hai was Zhang Hanqing's agent in Peking, and of course it was limited to the Zhang family's inner residence.
"Tan Hai is just a little carpenter. If it weren't for the old coach's appreciation and promotion, it would be better than today. Tan Hai would never repay the kindness of the old coach and the old coach's hero for the rest of his life!" Tan Hai said with a little excitement.
"You, that's good, you are loyal and kind!" Zhang Hanqing nodded with great satisfaction.
"Mr. Xie praised it!"
"Go and tell Director Lu what I mean!"
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Telection from Zhang Hanqing, the head of the Beiping!"
"say what?"
"Zhang Hanqing agreed to ask us to lobby the Ministry of Finance, but it cannot guarantee that it will succeed. At the same time, he also said that if the Ministry of Finance wants to pass the appointment, he must convince Chiang Kai-shek. However, the amount of customs tariffs in Tianjin is huge and is one of the important fiscal and tax revenues in Nanjing. If it is given to us, I am afraid..."
"We don't want his Guan Yu's domination. Tell Zhang Hanqing that I don't want any Guan Yu's domination. I just have the right to crack down on sea anti-smuggling!" Lu Shan said.
"this……"
"Go and send it, Zhang Hanqing will understand!" Qin Shiyu greeted Fengyun, who was about to speak but stopped.
"yes!"
"Report!"
"Your servant is here!" Lu Shan winked from Qin Shiyu and said, "Come in!"
"Mr. Lu, Lao Qin, are you here too?" Xiao Xue walked in and was quite surprised to see Qin Shiyu also.
Qin Shiyu smiled and explained: "I happened to talk to Mr. Lu about something."
"The Liaodong War Zone reported that two Japanese reconnaissance planes entered our territory, but over Qingyuan County, a Japanese plane suddenly exploded and caught fire, and then crashed, while the other plane did not stop and flew north!" Xiao Xue reported.
"Oh, have the plane wreckage been found?"
"Not yet, the crashed Japanese reconnaissance plane crashed in a mountainous area. The local armed forces department of Qingyuan County have already lined up militia to search and find the wreckage of the plane. They will report it immediately!" Xiao Xuedao.
"Well, how's the weather today?"
"Apart from being a little cold, the wind is not very strong. It should be a clear day!"
"Did you say the plane malfunction?"
"It's not clear yet. After finding the wreckage of the plane, you should be able to figure out the cause of the plane crash!"
"Old Lu, we should send someone to transport the wreckage back!" Qin Shiyu reminded.
"Yes, I'll give the Liaodong War Zone an order to send a small team to find the wreckage of the aircraft. I collected them all and transported them back. No matter what the reason is, I can always find something valuable!" Lu Shan ordered.
"yes!"
"This is a bit strange. One plane fell, the other one didn't even look at it, and the soles of the feet were oiled and left like that. It's strange!"
"Old Lu. Don't be suspicious. This plane is not a car running on the ground in the sky. That means you can stop if you can stop?" Qin Shiyu said with a smile.
"That's right, maybe I'm thinking it's a bit off!"
“Woo woo…”
Suddenly, a harsh alarm sounded. When Lu Shan heard it, he was shocked, and the air defense alarm was irresistible!
Did the Japanese army suddenly launch an air strike?
Lu Shan stood up subconsciously, pulled Qin Shiyu and rushed out.
"What's going on? Who triggered the air defense alarm?" The headquarters staff rushed out when they heard the alarm and gathered around the yard.
"What are you doing when you are stunned? Go to the air raid shelter!"
In order to prevent Japanese air strikes, the headquarters has built an underground air raid shelter and even plans to establish an underground command bunker.
"Director, do you see where is the plane in the sky?"
"No plane?" Liu Yushu pushed the frame on his nose, looked up and looked around at the sky, but he really didn't see an enemy plane!
"What's going on? There are no enemy planes, who will get the air defense alarm?" Liu Yushu asked with a pale face.
"Report!"
"speak!"
"Director Liu, the Security Department received a report from the airport. A Japanese plane flew towards Harbin. I was not sure about the movement of the enemy plane, so I asked us to sound the alarm and notify the headquarters of the personnel to evacuate!"
"You are only one enemy plane, so you are so scared. What if there are dozens of enemy planes and hundreds of enemy planes?" Liu Yushu asked.
"Director Liu!"
"Mr. Lu!"
"The airport and the security department are also in good intentions. We do not have air supremacy. Even an enemy plane will threaten us fatal. You are right to do this. Just treat it as an air defense exercise!" Lu Shan walked over and said.
"Didn't it mean there was an enemy plane, why didn't you see it?"
"We don't know either. The airport security department notified us to call the alarm. Without thinking, we sounded the alarm!"
"Why is the alarm not ringing again?"
"The alarm was lifted, and the airport called and said that the Japanese plane had an emergency landing at Majiagou Airport!" A security officer ran over panting and said.
