Chapter 747: The Mulberry Silkworm Girls' School Incident
Although Su Hanzhi said that he didn't care about this matter, he did not neglect the work that should be done. As Yuqing went out with Zhao Guanhou www.biquge.info the Shandong Social Customs Investigation Department was temporarily under her command. After the female student who complained arrived in Shandong, the intelligence officer launched an investigation in Bengbu.
Shandong's intelligence personnel have a lot of energy, and in addition, this incident is full of turmoil in the city, and it is also very difficult to keep it secret. The offender did not think that there was anything wrong with his actions, let alone kept it secret, so it was easy to find out the situation.
Anhui overseer Ni Jichong nicknamed Ni Cannon, leading the means of the army is not very clever, although it is an old army, but has not fought any hard battles, the real specialty is financial management. During his tenure, he opened factories and purchased real estate, and made a lot of money, but these financial dividends were turned into Ni Dujun's private savings in a blink of an eye, and military spending was still difficult.
Because Zhao Guanhou controlled Huaishang Yangzhou, the income from the salt tax, a traditional income-generating project in Anhui, became very small, and he could only rely on the transit tax to collect salt. The purpose of being an Overseer is to make a fortune, not to spread it. It is inevitable that it will be overstretched to have money to save money for Ni Duanjun, and that it will be necessary to have money to go to the Zhengfu to serve Duanmen, and to raise soldiers.
In order to save money, Inspector Ni came up with an extremely advanced method: reducing staff and increasing efficiency. Anhui Province set up an army primary school in the pre-Jin era to train grassroots officers. However, Ni Jichong's An Wujun and Zhang Yuan's Dingwu Army are not much different except for their braids, and they have no good opinion of the grassroots officers who are studying.
These grassroots officers need to be paid, and there are not so many job placements, how does Ni Inspector think that their existence is irresponsible to Anhui taxpayers. It was decided categorically to abolish the school. As for the rank and file officers...... It is completely possible to hold an auction to take up posts, and see who gives more money and who will be a grassroots officer, so as to avoid superfluous personnel and increase income.
After the retrenchment, the land school building was converted into the Anhui Silkworm Girls' School, and the original land in the city became the private villa of the Overseer. It can be seen that Anhui's funds are so tight? How selfless is the Overseer?
The army primary school is to train guns, and the address is naturally located outside the city. The Mulberry Silkworm Girls' School is all girls, and most of them are young women, and the school buildings and dormitories are all outside the city, so there are problems with security. Finally, the Patrol Police Department sent a patrol chief, and four police inspectors were stationed all year round.
These forces may be able to deter the villagers, but it is actually useless to really encounter ruthless characters. As the war in Hunan expanded, six battalions of the Anwu Army were pulled to the front, and twenty battalions may be transferred later. Anhui's secrecy work was very poor, and the military deployment, which was originally a top secret, was soon known to the soldiers. The soldiers were fully confident in their own strength, and they were optimistic about this battle.
After all, you have to die, and you naturally have to indulge before you die. The Communists who were preparing to go on the expedition first drank in the barracks, then talked about women, and then thought of the women's school. More than a dozen soldiers rushed into the school at night, wounded the patrol police, and killed three or four teachers and students below the principal.
The humiliated principal was worried that his reputation would be damaged, and that the situation would expand and affect the opening of the school, so he repeatedly begged the other party not to make a noise. In fact, after the strength of these soldiers was over, they were also afraid.
Ni Jichong's leading troops is not relaxed, if this matter is big, the small head will inevitably lead to the big head being unsafe. If the principal cries and makes a fuss, these soldiers may be afraid, and her attitude makes the soldiers sure that this is a group of soft persimmons that can be pinched.
A few days later, on the same night, the attackers came again. But this time, there were more than 100 people. Most of the teachers and students in the school were victimized, and more than 10 committed suicide by throwing themselves into the water, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while.
Anhui provincial students and gentry in Beijing began to rush to sue and seek justice for the victims. Anhui is the general Sangzi, and when such a thing happens, Duan Zhiquan and other Anhui figures are also gloomy. The deputies put forward very sharp conditions, demanding that the government replace the governor of Anhui and severely punish the people concerned in order to ensure the peace and tranquility of millions of people in Anhui Province.
But the problem is that even if the current Zhengfu has the determination of Yi Duxin, it does not have the courage of Yi Du, Feng Huanzhang sent a power in Wuxue to oppose the war between the north and the south, but Duan Zhiquan's angry scolding of his mother could not be controlled. And Feng Huanzhang is just a brigade commander, and he can't do anything about it, let alone an overseer?
On the battlefield in Hunan, Ni Jichong continuously invested troops to die, and in the financial revenue of the capital, Anhui taxes were always paid on time. Even before, when Zhao Guanhou was immigrating in the Guanwai Office, Feng Yuzhang suddenly left Beijing with a team of people and wanted to return to Jiangning. It was also Ni Jichong who personally led the men and horses to rob the car in Bengbu and sent Feng Yuzhang back to the capital by force to avoid an internal crisis.
In the entire republican power system, the Anwu Army is an important local force in the Anhui system. If such a loyal minister is disposed of, then who will be loyal next?
The investigation could only be concluded, and the students saw that they could not solve it, and there were even those who walked in the water at the Jinshui Bridge to seek the whole festival. In Anhui, there was also a mutiny because of this. First the first battalion involved mutinied, then followed by the second, fourth and eighth battalions, and the soldiers of the fifth battalion stationed nearby saw so many battalions mutiniously and simply dragged their guns and became bandits. Now the stragglers in Anhui Province are walking everywhere, and they have become a world of thieves.
Because the large army was pulled to Hunan to fight, the mutiny occurred suddenly, and Ni Jichong had no soldiers in his hands, but he couldn't shake the field. Duan Zhiquan pretended to be deaf and dumb, naturally hoping to make this matter a big deal and keep the foundation of the Anhui system, and define this matter as the black hand of the Southwest Army and the Government to undermine the unification of the north and the south, whoever dares to pursue this matter is a spy in the five southwestern provinces!
Su Hanzhi said: "Anhui is the base camp of the Anhui system, if you interfere in the affairs there, it is tantamount to an open conflict with Duan Zhiquan." Isn't this going to be a civil war? We in Shandong have just finished fighting the Fusang people, and it is time to live a peaceful life, and we should not let the brothers shed blood and sacrifice again. What's more, starting a war with Duan is tantamount to scratching the face with Beiyang, how can we deal with ourselves? Of course, I want to get justice for those girls, but those evil rebels don't know where to go, and even if you come out now, you can't actually solve the problem. can only find an opportunity to find Ni Jichong and order him to manage his soldiers and not commit it again. Besides, Ni Jichong has always been obedient to Shandong, and he is more afraid of you. If you clean him up, what do the other Overseers think? When the time comes, everyone will deal with us together Shandong, won't you become a loner? ”
Zhao Guanhou hugged Su Hanzhi's waist, "Sister, you have always been thinking about me, I am very happy." However, those female students are innocent, and it is their own business that the soldiers can't find their wives, and they can't touch women until they die, so it's not an excuse to mess around. In this incident, the people of the girls' school are innocent victims. Since they have found Shandong, they prove that they have someone in their hearts. If I don't stand up for them, don't I live up to their expectations? I've never let my sister down, have I? We shouldn't let those girls down, we Shandong are not even afraid of Orientals, but we are afraid of a crooked nose? ”
"Well...... You are the head of the family, and you will take the big idea. But if you're coming out now, isn't that the same as helping the southerners? I'm afraid that it can neither be seen in Emperor Sun nor in Beiyang. It's not that it's not flattering inside and out. ”
"Sister, you're confused. With a crooked nose, he didn't even dare to provoke Feng Huanzhang, nor did he dare to restrain Ni Jichong, how dare he provoke me? What's more, I won't let the situation expand beyond control, in short, it would be good to be reasonable, powerful and responsible. ”
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Su Hanzhi stopped persuading, and said again: "Those girls came to Shandong to shout grievances, but it's not because you are Zhao Qingtian. is because Gonghe knows that Shandong Zhao Guanshuai pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and he can't see girls being bullied the most. The representative of the female students who came to file a complaint said that as long as you avenge them, she would stay and be your aunt's wife. Are you glad to hear this? ”
Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "I haven't even seen anyone, and I can't talk about being happy or unhappy." However, if the teachers and students of the girls' school are willing to come to Shandong, I welcome them. There are also many people in our Shandong army who are singles, and they moved here to organize a blind date to let the brothers start a family. As for pity and cherishing jade, there is a ready-made one in front of me, how can I pity others? ”
So, this night, Jiang Fengzhi was depressed and found that Sister Hanzhi had broken her promise. said that she would let her junior brother go to her room, but in the end she stayed, which caused her to lose her temper a few times before she stopped.
The next day, Zhao Guanhou, in his capacity as the marshal of the Communist Army and vice minister of the Ministry of the Army, formally proposed accountability to Ni Jichong, and the wording was extremely harsh. When Ni Jichong was at the Xuzhou Conference, he was regarded as a hardcore Zhao Guanhou, and he also contributed to the establishment of the Governor Army. After the Trinity Cabinet was established, he was attached to the Duan system and became the backbone of the Duan system.
The Duan system is now the strongest force on paper, with a big tree on his back to enjoy the shade, and he is not very afraid of Zhao Guanhou's accountability. Moreover, given their relationship, he did not believe that such accountability would be genuine. Therefore, he chose to deny the matter insistically, and took the results of the investigation of the joint investigation team as the final conclusion, and determined that the matter was false.
But the problem is that after the disaster, a few teachers and students of the Silkworm Girls' School committed suicide or changed their names and continued to live, and most of them chose to ask for explanations. Su Hanzhi gave them a large amount of money to ensure that these women also had travel expenses if they lived outside. After seeing Zhao Guanhou's accountability telegram from the newspaper, these women immediately rushed to Jinan, knelt outside the door of the marshal's mansion, and pulled up a huge banner and blood letter.
Reporters in Shandong took these photos and posted them as front-page headlines. The Lu parliamentarians in Beijing were also mobilized by Zhao Guanhou to hold Anhui accountable. After Meng Siyuan became the chief of transportation, his mind was mainly on building railways, and he did not pay much attention to this. But the three women, Chen, Dai, and Zou, can't afford not to pay attention to this kind of thing. They were already deeply dissatisfied with the way the case was handled, and they would not let go of the opportunity at this time.
The people of the Shandong Social Customs Investigation Department obtained a first-hand material from a member of the investigation team, which proved that this incident really existed. A rebel even kept the victim's underwear, ready to use it as a blackmail to maintain a long-term relationship. The other party was also humiliated because of this, and he died.
Xiaoyi, confession, these first-hand information was in hand, and Zhao Guanhou immediately instructed the newspaper to publish it. Public opinion was in an uproar.
Originally, the news of the Civil War was on the front page, but because of the unfavorable progress of the Northern Army, the press censors did not support the newspaper's attention to the war. Newspapers need to find a selling point in order to sell money. Since you can't report on war, you have to report violence or run away. This Co-Army scandal belongs to the kind of news series that has selling points, and it immediately aroused the great interest of reporters.
Not only the newspapers in Shandong, but even the newspapers in the capital began to follow up. At this time, although there were no people living in the communion, freedom was very widespread. The eyes of the censors were about to turn into bells, and they could not stop the enthusiasm of the reporters. One extra issue today, one special issue tomorrow. As a journalist, a prosecutor, and a judge, making final rulings in newspapers, Ni Jichong has become a heinous spokesperson.
At this time, Ni Jichong couldn't help but admit it. From insisting that there is no such thing, to not knowing about it, I will definitely investigate and deal with it seriously in the future. At the same time, he sent a secret telegram to Zhao Guanhou, hoping that he would not forget the slogan of the Governor Army, and the governors of Beiyang should help each other and not kill themselves.
Duan Zhiquan also knew that the matter was getting bigger, so he sent a telegram from the capital to Shandong, focusing on the battle situation in Hunan and the performance of the Anwu army. Finally, I hope that Zhao Guanshuai will focus on the overall situation and the great cause of the unification of the north and the south. It was also promised that after the end of the war, preparations would be made for the incident at the Silkworm Girls' School.
In the newspaper, Duan Zhiquan finally spoke out, saying that this matter must be carefully investigated, and that neither the bad guys can be let go nor the good guys wronged, and another investigation team will be set up to investigate the ins and outs of the matter in detail, so as to prevent some saboteurs from the main government of the Southern Army from taking the opportunity to make trouble and shake the morale of the front-line soldiers. In the end, in the statement, he talked about the hard work of the soldiers, a large number of soldiers from the time they became soldiers to death, they had no chance to get married, they did not know the fragrance of women, but they shed blood for the Gonghe, and finally they even shouted that the Gonghe owed them a wife.
At the same time, the literati of the Communist Party also began to exert their efforts, talking in the newspapers about the difficulty of the military guarding the Communist Party and maintaining the unification of the north and the south, and again mentioned that the behavior of the teachers and students of the Mulberry Silkworm Girls' School was also disorderly. Like, why do they wear skirts? If they all wore men's clothes and cut off their long hair, wouldn't it arouse the soldiers' thoughts of aggression? Besides, are they too materialistic, why can't they choose soldiers as their spouses? It was even mentioned that some of the teachers and students were presumptuous and had intimate relations with men, but were not women from good families......
When Zhao Guanhou saw the newspaper, he only snorted coldly and said to Yuqing: "It's time for us to use Bai Siwen again." Let him out, ready to end all this" Immediately, he publicly replied to Anhui: The tiger is out of the sheng, the turtle jade is destroyed in the coffin, and the warden must not shirk the blame
The telegram was sent, and everyone knew it, and before long, Feng Huanzhang, who issued the armistice message in Wuxue, was the first to be listed as a subordinate and responded to Zhao Guanhou by telegram. Immediately, Jiangsu Li Xiushan was electrified to support, Zhili Cao Zhongkun was electrified to support, and Fengtian Zhang Yuting was electrified to support. Lu Ganqing patrolled the two Guangzhous, together with Tan Guangming, the overseer of Guangdong, and Chen Bingyan, the overseer of Guangxi, telegraphed to support, and said that this kind of bad behavior should be severely punished. Next, there were division commanders such as Tan Yankai, the Hunan overseer, Tang Rongchang of Yunnan, Liu Cunhou, Zhou Gang, and Luo Peiquan of Sichuan, as well as the commanders and commanders-in-chief of the Southern Army.
For a time, the telegraph flew sideways, and the provinces owed telegram fees ranging from 1,000 yuan to 100 yuan. The head of the regiment is short of funds and is unable to electrify the whole country, so he can only be listed as a subsidiary, but the momentum is huge. The Southern Military Government even vigorously praised Zhao Guanhou's behavior as defending the dignity of the judiciary and safeguarding the status of women, which is actually the trend of the development of human society. The puppet government in the north should listen to the voice of the people, immediately stop the unjust war, and stop sending troops to the Hunan battlefield until the truth of this matter is ascertained......
Li Xiushan, Chen Xiufeng, Wang Zichun and other overseers also refused to pass through the support units of the Southern Expeditionary Force on the pretext that the Beiyang soldiers needed to rectify their conduct and discipline, and only allowed supplies and baggage to cross the border. It is also a great spectacle that the Confederation forces cannot pass through the Confederation territory, and are regarded as thieves by the Confederation people.
Feng Yuzhang, the president of the capital, suddenly exerted his strength at this moment, made up for the last knife, and as the president, without a direct order from the State Affairs Garden, investigated and dealt with Ni Jichong, the overseer of Anhui, suspended his post as the overseer, and chose another person to act on official business!
