Chapter 1402: This Is Not a Rebellion
"Chen Taishou, Chen Qingtian, you have to be the master of the Shenzhou fathers!"
"Chen Taishou, you have to be the master of hundreds of thousands of Li people in Shenzhou!"
"The sky is above ......"
Chen Yu and Chen Qingtian still let people block the public hall of the yamen, and the people who blocked him and called Tianqu were all first-class big landowners in Shenzhou, and in the years of the agrarian revolution in later generations, they were all big bullies who were full of color.
But now, the landlord bullies of the Deep State are met with capitalism that runs from head to toe, with blood and filth flowing from every pore.
So the bullies are also bullied! Is there any reason for this?
Chen Qingtian looked at the bullies with sympathetic eyes - he was a feudal bureaucrat! Of course, the feudal bureaucracy and the landlord bullies sympathized with each other. And the capitalists in Tianjin are undoubtedly evil and cunning in Chen Qingtian's eyes.
No business or treachery, it is very suitable for the style of the Great Zhou Republican regime.
For example, this time, when they treated the gentry and common people in Hedong, Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Gyeonggi and other newly attached places, they lacked a frank and unrestrained royal way, and used many profiteer-style cunning tricks.
In order to deceive the gentry and people in the above-mentioned places into subordinating, the republican government in Tianjin first played the imperial examination card in Hedong. It was announced that the Liberation Test would be held in Hedong, and the Ministry of Rites Examination would also be held in the 11th year of the Great Zhou Republic!
Although the Tianjin authorities only announced the timetable for holding the Liberation Examination and the Ministry of Rites Examination in the prefectures attached to Hedong (not all of which were annexed to Hedong), the gentry in Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Gyeonggi and other places also took it for granted that there would be an opportunity to participate in the imperial examination. Since there is a test, it shouldn't only be allowed to participate in the Shizi along the Hedong Road, otherwise how can it be said that it will be tested? It was simply changed to a "road test" in Hedong.
However, now that the state capitals in Hedong are already holding the release test, the state capitals in Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Gyeonggi and other places have no intention of opening the imperial examination.
A while ago, Chen Qingtian specially sent a message to the Ministry of Rites of the Zhou State Government to inquire, and the answer he got was shocking! The imperial examination was held only in Hedong Autonomous Province and was a special system of Hedong Autonomous Province. Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Gyeonggi and other places are all directly under the central government, so the imperial examination system will not be implemented. Unless the Senate of the Republic amends the relevant laws......
Because he didn't quite understand the meaning of the Ministry of Rites' reply (about the Senate's revision of the law or something), Chen Qingtian also specifically consulted the military judges who lived in the Shenzhou Army (the military judges of the Republican Army were all from the law and knew the laws of the Zhou State very well). Thus, it was learned that the appointment and dismissal of civil officials in the Great Zhou Republic was based on the "Election and Recall Law" and the "Public Officials Law".
The former is used to appoint and dismiss middle and high-ranking civil officials, also known as "administrative appointees". Later, it was used to appoint low-level officials, similar to the likes of Song officials.
The legal basis for the implementation of the imperial examination for the election of officials in Hedong is the provisions of the "Election and Recall Law" on the appointment and dismissal of administrative officials in the autonomous territory. One of them is "the method of appointment and dismissal approved by the Senate".
That is to say, the Senate approved the Hedong Autonomous Province to elect political officials at all levels in the form of imperial examinations!
Hebei, Jingdong, Gyeongseo, Gyeonggi and other places are directly under the central government, so the power to appoint and dismiss administrative officials is held by the Senate and the local councils elected by the citizens.
There is no room for the imperial examination!
Of course, Hebei, Jingdong, Gyeongsaki, Gyeonggi and other places have not yet formally established provinces, and the governance has not been transferred to the civilian government, but is under the control of the military. The power to appoint and dismiss officials at all levels was held by the Military Department of the Great Zhou Republic.
Therefore, Chen Yu who was retained was not an official civil official of the Great Zhou, but a temporary military attache of the Great Zhou Republican Army - the military attache of the Great Zhou Republican Army was also divided into "temporary" and "official".
The former is a "mobilization military attaché", usually a conscripted reserve military attache who re-enters active duty, that is, a "temporary officer", and is to be demobilized after the mobilization is over. Unless a new "full military attaché" is appointed.
In addition, the Ministry of War may also grant the position and rank of military attache to citizens, civilians, and even non-nationals according to the needs of the war.
Chen Yu is the "civilian mobilization military attaché" awarded by the Ministry of War, that is, a "third-class officer" and "fourth-class officer", and it is no wonder that the serious active military attache of Zhou Guo looks down on him.
This really made Chen Yu feel humiliated!
He is a dignified civil official, and now he has become the "temporary military attaché" of the Great Zhou, isn't this humiliation?
In addition to deceiving the gentry in Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Gyeonggi and other places with the imperial examination, and deceiving officials like Chen Yu with the "temporary military attaché", Zhou Guo also ruthlessly played a trick on the landlords in the new annex places except Hedong on the land issue.
It is clear that it is good to protect private land and not to suppress the annexation of private land, but in the blink of an eye, they set a trap for the landlords with "exchange deeds" and "autumn taxes". All of a sudden, more than ninety percent of the private land in Hebei, Jingdong, Jingxi, Gyeonggi and other places has been turned into official land!
Although this method is completely in line with the laws of the Great Zhou Republic, it is actually a robbery!
"What to do? What to do? ”
Faced with questions from a group of landlord bullies. Chen Yu's resentment against Zhou Guo was also surging, and he seemed to be looking for a point to vent.
"What the Zhou army is doing is to occupy the people's land!" Chen Yu bit and said, "Don't give Xiaomin a way to live!" The deep state civil change is imminent! ”
"What? Civil unrest? ”
"But the Zhou army is both numerous and strong!"
"Yes, four or five thousand! Vicious and vicious...... I can't beat it! ”
Chen Yu glanced at these landlords and snorted: "Who wants you to fight hard?" If you want to fight hard, you will give away people's heads! ”
"If you don't come hard, what other tricks do you have?"
"Won't you mobilize the people to petition in Tianjin? According to the laws of the Zhou State, civilians also have the right to petition and appeal, all the way to the Senate! Think about it, tens of thousands of people in a state go to the Senate to complain, and the brigade commander and battalion commander in charge of military management can still be better? As long as a few brigade commanders and battalion commanders can be overthrown, can the matter of clearing acres of land be carried out? ”
"High! That's high! ”
"Chen Qingtian is really worthy of being a good boy outside the Donghua Gate! It's a clever ......."
"Without further ado, let's go back and mobilize the villagers immediately and go north to Tianjin!"
Chen Yu sighed, this turmoil was finally dealt with by him.
This is not a rebellion. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Republic, civilians can not only petition, but also sue officials!
Of course, Chen Yu, as a temporary political officer appointed by the Ministry of War, will definitely be dismissed from his post if he instigates the civilian population to oppose the policies of the ruling government...... That's the end of the theoretical punishment.
Kill your head, go to jail or something...... Theoretically not. Because the judicial trial of the Great Zhou Republic was not controlled by the ruling government, but was a relatively independent system.
The ruling government can only prosecute Chen Yu, but cannot order him to be pulled out and cut off his brain.
However, Chen Yu will not be stupid and wait for others to fabricate charges to frame him, so it is better to abandon the official as soon as possible!
Go to Chang'an, go to Jiangnan, go to Xiangyang Mansion, the world is so big, there is always a Ming Lord that he Chen Yu can be loyal to!
……
Chen Yu abandoned his official position and went to find the Ming Lord, and the fire of "non-violent protest" ignited by him soon had the potential to burn the prairie fire.
The land policy implemented by the Republic of the Great Zhou in the newly attached areas this time is certainly unpopular!
However, the force of the Great Zhou Republican Army was sufficient to carry out such an unpopular policy, and there was no chance of victory if it openly confronted it by force.
Therefore, most of the landlord bullies are taken by the force of the republican army, and they dare not be angry but dare not rebel. After seeing that the "peaceful protests" in Shenzhou were not bloodily suppressed, they all followed suit and sent petition groups to Tianjin.
There are exceptions, though!
In the vicinity of the Daimyo's Mansion, along the west side of the Yellow Flood Area, a group of men and horses carrying weapons and wearing common people's clothes were walking in a circle.
The leader was a short, black-faced little old man, in his fifties, riding a thin horse that had lost his hair, and was walking forward as he counted down a burly black man with a scruffy beard beside him.
"You black bastard, why are you so hot-tempered? I didn't look at the hill where they were, so I picked up an axe and cut it down! Now it's okay, the brothers have lost most of their money, and their savings for many years have been scattered, and they have become wanted criminals in Zhou State, and they can no longer make a living by buying and selling human beings. If you are caught, you will have to be exiled to Java Island if you don't cut off your brain! ”
"Brother Gongming, don't say it, Tie Niu also regrets it! But those who do the IRA are too bullying! Bullying me Tie Niu is honest, a thousand acres of land! 1,000 acres...... Isn't it just a white deed? ”
"And you say, you still say...... You are a black guy who kills a thousand knives, and a thousand acres of land is a ball? Sell more people to Nanyang, don't you have them? Now that we are empty, the land is gone, and we can't make a living by buying and selling people, so we have to go to Taihang Mountain to cast Kong Yanzhou, and I don't know if that guy can accommodate us? ”
"Brother Gongming, can we get to Taihang Mountain now? There are still hundreds of miles from the Yellow River, right? In case you are caught by the Republican Army......"
When it comes to the Republican Army, Song Jiang, who has finally been promoted from a human trafficker to an anti-thief, is trembling.
Those guys are amazing!
Can't beat it......
"Brother Gongming," Wu Yong, who has become an old scholar with a white face, reminded at this time, "In fact, people may not take us seriously." ”
Song Jiang looked back, "Strategist, what do you say?" ”
Wu Yong touched his gray beard, "I heard that they are not in Yunzhou to clear the fields, but in all the state capitals on both sides of the Yellow River at the same time...... And if they can't get the land deed and tax payment certificate, they will be confiscated immediately. This is a blatant occupation of people's land, and we will not be the only ones who want to resist. Maybe the Republican Army can't be busy now!
Therefore, as long as we go carefully, hide too conspicuous weapons, and pretend to be refugees fleeing the famine, it may not arouse people's ideas. ”
Song Jiang nodded his head black, "Yes, yes, it's still the military advisor who thinks thoughtfully...... Iron Bull, throw your axe away!
Also, with a copper coin in his mouth, he pretended to be dumb for me on the road! ”
