"Shi Xianyang, I'm not targeting you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zhang Guodong explained first, "Who wrote that interview with the Admiralty in this newspaper?" ”

"The article." Shi Xianyang thought for a while, "I asked people to get it, I didn't look for Zeng Guangxian, it seems that I was looking for Westerners." I would like to talk about our marine consciousness from the perspective of Westerners, but I don't know who we are looking for. What's wrong with this article? ”

"There is a possibility that this article will be seriously leaked." Zhang Guodong said what he said to Xia Yang again.

"Before Chairman Zhang told me, I didn't expect that a simple report would have such a big hidden danger." Xia Yang said, "So I and Chairman Zhang called everyone together today just to discuss, we want to submit a bill to the General Assembly to formulate a "Secrets Law" or "Press Censorship Law". ”

"I don't agree." Shi Xianyang was the first to object, "Even if there is a hidden danger of leaking secrets in this article, it is a mistake in my work." But if there is any censorship law for this, the newspaper will lose its meaning. Our Tenth Amendment makes it clear that the General Assembly shall not make laws that deprive freedom of speech and the press. ”

"This can't be called a deprivation of the freedom of the press." Lin Zhaolong said, "I think press freedom and press censorship are two different things, after all, we still have to consider the issue of warfare, if we can report everything, it is equivalent to telling all our secrets to the enemy." ”

"I'm not against secrecy either." Shi Xianyang continued to retort, "But this line is difficult to define. If we were to come up with a censorship law, it would most likely be abused, effectively depriving freedom of speech and the press. ”

"Everybody in this room knows." Shi Xianyang added, "To this day, we still have not adopted the system of separation of powers, but even the separation of powers cannot guarantee that there will be no corruption of power, and the public is the only supervisor of the ruler." The government is large and tightly organized, and the public is weak and scattered, which requires an agency that represents the public will and plays a role in supervising the government, that is, the news media. ”

"Shi Xianyang, what you said is a bit too serious." Zeng Guangxian frowned and said, "Let's just discuss the matter of secrecy, and it is not yet to the extent of supervising the government and freedom of speech." ”

"No, it's not serious at all, it's one thing." Shi Xianyang looked around, "Everyone has the right to enjoy the freedom to advocate and express their opinions; This right includes the freedom to hold claims without interference; and freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. ”

Zhang Guodong obviously didn't understand what Shi Xianyang said about the words of the later "Universal Declaration of Human Rights": "Shi Xianyang, you don't have to say it so profoundly, I don't understand it." I just want to ask, what do you want to do? ”

"My idea is simple, and I'm not a stubborn person." Shi Xianyang replied, "I think we can make some specific provisions on the basis of safeguarding freedom of speech and the press, and elaborate on some things that cannot be made public, such as military secrets, without ambiguity or ambiguity." ”

"I have an idea." Zeng Guangxian said, "In 1942, the United States of our previous life issued the "American Press Wartime Code of Conduct." The guidelines strictly stipulate that all printed materials must not publish inappropriate information related to the military, aircraft, ships, wartime production, weapons, military installations, and weather. Can we imitate this thing and make a rule that no military-related news will be allowed to be reported? ”

"It's not good." Zhang Guodong disagreed, "We also need newspapers to publicize the affairs of the army and stimulate the enthusiasm of the army in Yulin Bay." If there is no military news in the newspapers, then it is not very appropriate. ”

"I'll give you an idea." Shi Xianyang made a concession, "Your military will set up an inspection department, and all reports related to the military can be reviewed by the military, and you can't interfere otherwise." This not only guarantees freedom of the press, but also guarantees that there will be no more leaks, you are more professional. ”

"I'll see it." Zhang Guodong also took a step, "We are not interested in matters other than the military, so we are responsible for reviewing military reports." ”

"What about Mr. Chang Geng's suggestion?" Seeing that Zhang Guodong and Shi Xianyang had reached an agreement, Xia Yang felt a little more relaxed, "The Federation also wants to run a newspaper, do we agree or not?" ”

"Yes." Shi Xianyang replied, "Just treat it the same as our newspaper, if they can also make a newspaper, then we can also get more news of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, there's one more question." Xia Yang took out Jiang Beiming's letter, "There is a letter from Beijing, Chongzhen has promised us to do business with Wu Sangui, and the military department also wants to buy 5,000 guns from us." ”

"What's wrong with that?" Lin Zhaolong asked puzzledly, "Since Chongzhen agreed, let's just do it." ”

"Zhaolong, it's not Chongzhen's problem." Zhang Guodong explained, "Doing business with Wu Sangui and giving him all the tobacco markets north of the Yellow River was decided by a few of you people in Beijing. Although our two committees have no opinion, it seems a little unreasonable not to notify the General Assembly of such a big matter. ”

"Is it okay to tell them no?" Lin Zhaolong still didn't understand what Zhang Guodong meant.

"I'll have to give you an idea." Shi Xianyang said with a smile, "If this matter is to let the Crossing Conference know that it was a decision made by Jiang Beiming and Xu Lang, I am afraid that the Crossing Conference will veto this matter, because they may feel that they are not taken seriously, or they are worried about the emergence of oligarchy." ”

"And what do you have to do?" Xia Yang asked.

"I'll make this public when we have the next conference." Shi Xianyang said, "But don't say it's Jiang Beiming's decision, just say it's the decision of the two committees." The Committee is already independent of the General Assembly, and they may be more comfortable if they say so, otherwise they may have to fight again. ”

"I think that's it." Xia Yang looked around for a week, "If there is no problem, just follow Xianyang's suggestion." You still have to work hard to draft a "Press Censorship Law". ”

"Hey, how did this become my business." Shi Xianyang protested, "The military's business should be done by the military's people." ”

"You're professional, you're professional." Zhang Guodong and Zeng Guangxian laughed at the same time.

"I have one last question." Xia Yang finally raised one of the most important questions, "It is to talk to Tao Min about the peace and dismissal of the army." This matter was also a decision made by Jiang Beiming and a few people, should you tell the crossing conference? ”

"Tianyang, Chairman Zhang." Shi Xianyang asked rhetorically, "Jiang Beiming and Tao Min talked about making peace and dismissing the army?" How do I not know, when will it happen? ”

"Shi Xianyang, let's talk about things." Zhang Guodong explained, "Because you are not a member of the committee, I have not told you. Jiang Beiming made it very clear in his letter that we lied to Chongzhen about 3,000 casualties this time in order to dispel Chongzhen's worries about us. Before we reach a certain strength, we'd better not fight with the Manchus. In the next two years, we need to consolidate our rear, enter Japan, and develop ourselves, so it is necessary to strive for a stable environment. ”

"Yes." Lin Zhaolong continued, "Our people in Beijing have also assessed Tao Min's current situation, and he urgently needs a stable environment to develop himself. Now Tao Min is very worried about losing the trust of Huang Taiji, which determines that we have a basis for cooperation with Tao Min. ”

"And you all agree with this decision?" Shi Xianyang asked.

"Yes." Xia Yang replied, "Our committee has also discussed, and both committees believe that Jiang Beiming's decision is correct. ”

"But." Shi Xianyang felt that this matter was a bit risky, "If Tao Min really integrates Northeast China and North Korea within two years and trains hundreds of thousands of troops, won't the pressure on us be even greater in the future?" ”

"That's what we're worried about." Zhang Guodong sighed, "Destroying the Manchu Qing is the goal set by the Crossing Conference a long time ago. If we make this matter public, then there is a good chance that it will not be understood, and the crossing conference may veto it. ”

"Chairman Zhang, I can understand." Shi Xianyang said, "But if this matter is to be kept secret, it is not so easy. After two years of military strikes, it is difficult to say whether there will be any accidents, and there is a high possibility that the news will leak. Besides, why do we believe in Tao Min so much. ”

"That's why we think it's hard to do." Xia Yang asked, "Xianyang, do you have any good ideas?" The current situation is that it is not easy to deal with whether it is public or not. ”

"There's nothing I can do." Shi Xianyang replied, "But I suggest that you don't make it public yet." Again, I would argue that the Committee's decision might be more reasonable. ”

This matter was concealed, and the crossing conference agreed to the tobacco business with Wu Sangui and the sale of 5,000 guns to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time instructed Shi Xianyang to draft a "Yulin Bay News Censorship Law" as soon as possible.

It has been more than ten days since Tao Min returned to Shengjing. Eight Banners suffered 1,000 casualties and annihilated 3,000 elites of the Yulin Army, this news made Huang Taiji a little satisfied, and also put Tao Min temporarily on hold in advance when he was played by Jiang Beiming.

Tao Gong rushed back from Nanpu.

"Brother." Tao Gong didn't even drink saliva and came directly to his brother, "Nothing happened to Yulinbao this time, right?" ”

"I'll talk about Yulinburg later." Tao Min asked, "What's going on over there in Nanpu?" ”

"It went well. I brought more than 1,000 people with me, and the shipyard is under construction. The 2 Dutchmen are also preparing things for shipbuilding, and they will be ready to start work soon. ”

"What is the reaction of the North Koreans?"

"There was no reaction from the North Korean side, and they didn't dare to react." Tao Gong said with a smile, "But North Korea is really poor, I originally thought that I couldn't find anyone to work in North Korea, but I didn't expect that as long as you take care of the food, a large number of North Koreans rushed to do it for you." ”

"You recruited North Koreans on such a large scale, didn't Li Liang ask about it?" Tao Min asked.

"How dare he?" Tao Gong said confidently, "Nanpu already has our people, and Li Qi doesn't dare to care about our Dajin now." ”

Tao Min smiled and didn't speak again.

"Brother, why do I look at you as if you have something on your mind?" Tao Gong asked strangely, "Didn't you annihilate the 3,000 Yulin army this time, the Great Khan also rewarded you, and now it's Yulin Bay that should be crying." ”

"You go and close the door first." Tao Min commanded.

Tao Gong walked over and closed the door full of doubts, turned around and asked, "Brother, what happened?" ”

"Destroying the enemy 3000 is fake." Tao Min smiled bitterly, "It was a play that I played with Jiang Beiming." ”

"Fake?" Tao Gong was so shocked that he covered his mouth suddenly, and stayed for a while before asking in a low voice, "Brother, why are you acting with Jiang Beiming?" Did you deceive the Great Khan? Brother, you, don't you want to go back to Yulin Bay again? ”

"Tao Gong, you come." Tao Min pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for his younger brother to sit down, "A lot of things happened in Yulinbao this time, I have been in contact with Jiang Beiming and Xu Lang a few times, and I have some ideas. ”

Tao Gong obediently sat down on the chair, and suddenly felt a little sad: "Brother, no matter what you want to do, I will always follow you and kill my brother." ”

"Brother." Tao Min reached out and touched Tao Gong's head, "It's not that serious." ”
