Section 303 The Guangdong Incident

Yang Chao had people push him to Congress in a wheelchair. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He had to come to the National Assembly at this time to testify, because Mi Qing did a shocking thing in Guangdong, sentenced more than 8,000 rebels to death en masse, and shot them on the streets of Guangzhou.

This matter has caused controversy in the National Assembly, especially several Cantonese legislators, who have even quarreled and demanded that this audacious woman be arrested and tried immediately.

Yang Chao disregarded his body, he came to defend Mi Qing.

Sitting in a wheelchair and using the loudspeaker of the Congress, Yang Chao began to speak.

"Distinguished Members of Parliament. I don't want to say much about Mi Qing. Suffice it to say respect for justice. You say that Mi Qing killed people, and what you say is well-founded, but it was the judges of Guangdong who tried the rebels, and it was the local garrison who carried out the orders. Mi Qing neither gave the order nor shot her, you have to say that she is a murderer, I don't know what logic this is! ”

What Mi Qing did this time really made everyone eat, including Yang Chao, he really didn't expect this woman to be so hard-hearted, knowing that he was underestimating this woman.

But Mi Qing's IQ is not bad, not only is it not bad but it is quite high, of course she will not be confused to the point of killing.

"That Mi Qing didn't kill anyone, but she killed the person, and those judges were not instructed by her."

The Guangdong legislators were filled with righteous indignation, these legislators were sent by Guangdong after the formation of the new government, and there was no popular election at that time, so they were sent by the Pao Ge party at that time, and these people were obviously very dissatisfied with the large number of Pao Ge Ma Tsai who died in the Guangdong rebellion.

Yang Chao curiously asked Wang Chonghui, who was implicated and came to be questioned: "Lord Wang, isn't your judiciary operating independently?" How can Mi Qing, a powerless and powerless woman, command a judge? ”

Wang Chonghui's face darkened: "There is no such thing, there is no evidence, it is really slandering the judiciary!" ”

In fact, whether the Guangdong magistrates were instructed by Mi Qing or not, Yang Chao did not dare to guarantee that although Mi Qing had no power or power, but Yang Chao stood behind her, and there was an organization with a large talent reserve, the most important thing was that they were rich, who dared to guarantee that all the judges in Guangdong were as clean as water?

But he must support Mi Qing, this is a matter of position, of course, if after the incident, he will not hesitate to abandon Mi Qing, it is a matter of principle.

Yang Chao continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why such a tragedy happened in Guangdong, no one is to blame, the initiator is the rebels, and everyone knows what the purpose of the rebels is. Since it is a rebellion, the judge severely punishes it according to the law, where is the fault? If these rebels are not punished, what about the thousands of unjust souls who died because of the rebellion, the women who were humiliated in the chaos, the houses that were burned, the civilians who were looted, who should these sufferers turn to? Why are MPs putting pressure on the Minister of Justice in Parliament? ”

This time the incident in Guangdong really frightened many people, they thought that Yang Chao had started a killing spree, and if the law did not blame the public, it was a rebellion, as long as there were enough people, it was often not done, and when they took the lead, their subordinates were released.

But the provincial legislators don't think so, anyway, it doesn't conform to the past practice, they use other mentalities to interpret it, especially Liangjiang and Shaanxi, which have fought against the new government, they are really afraid that Yang Chao is also playing this hand in their province, and now there are no soldiers in the hands of those in power, they are completely fish on the chopping board, kneaded casually.

So they were fooled by the Guangdong parliamentarians, and immediately stood up to put pressure on Wang Chonghui, asking Wang Chonghui to revoke the Guangdong judge and immediately investigate Mi Qing's matter, and they determined that Mi Qing instructed the judge.

Although I don't know if the judge has received benefits, Yang Chao believes that the judge has done a good job.

"Ladies and gentlemen, isn't the reason why such a thing happened in Guangdong is because the position of governor of Guangdong Province has been vacant for a long time and the social order is chaotic, which has given the rebels an opportunity? There is no guarantee that the same thing will not happen in other provinces, do you want to see such a tragedy? Therefore, I implore you to abandon your view of the gateway and focus on the overall situation, and jointly supervise the reopening of the parliament in Guangdong. ”

Guangdong parliamentarians have all run away, but their identities are still parliamentarians, and there is no way to deprive them of their status procedurally, the constitution has a certain degree of protection for them, and the central government cannot meddle in local affairs, this is the system of separation of powers, and basically they have to copy the way of the United States.

However, China is completely different from the United States, and local government officials in the United States do not dare to do anything for the sake of power, of course, not because the Americans are noble, but because they are controlled by two major parties from the local government to the federal government, and the intricacies are not clear at all. When the Americans were still in power, the Democratic Party that controlled the South was as divided, which was the essence of power, not controlled by others, and had a serious tendency to self-control.

How did the Americans do it?

Tilting toward the south is to say that the north is suppressing the south, neutrally saying that it is a civil war, and leaning towards the north can be considered as the federal government's pacification of the rebels.

It's just that the Americans didn't kill so many people, but the number of people killed in the war was as high as 600,000, more than they fought two world wars to seize world hegemony.

Guangdong's local forces are weak, so they didn't die so many people, and they didn't rise to a long-delayed civil war, but if this kind of signs are allowed to continue, they will definitely develop to that point in the end, which Yang Chao can't accept.

However, the Guangdong parliamentarian could not accept it either, and he immediately asked: "What power does the central government have to interfere in local affairs, if it interferes in Guangdong today, it will interfere in Sichuan tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow it will be Yunnan. ”

Yang Chao said with a smile: "The central government does not, the constitution does not give her power, but I think the judiciary should be able to govern everything, I hope to amend the constitution and grant the supreme justice to convene a tribunal in case of emergency, and adjudicate on local affairs in the National Assembly, and the local councillors will vote on it." ”

Well, this is not in the spirit of democracy, this is not the central interference in the place, it is true that other places interfere somewhere, typical collectivism.

"Lord Wang, what do you think?"

Yang Chao asked Wang Chonghui again.

Wang Chonghui nodded and said: "It is naturally necessary to revise the Constitution, and the Ministry of Justice will immediately carry out relevant work and submit it to the National Assembly for discussion." ”

Yang Chao had already discussed this matter with Wang Chonghui, but at first he was not in favor of amending the Constitution, he was worried that it would bring a bad precedent that everyone would not respect the judiciary, but the matter in Guangdong made him have to think about a question, is the judiciary to protect everyone, or is it just a power, just a right to pursue one's own independence?

Wang Chonghui has always insisted that the parliamentarians who have left China should be invited to return so that the Guangdong parliament can be restored and they can choose the governor again, but those people have not agreed to return, they are staunch followers of Brother Pao.

Yang Chao actually doesn't have too much bad feeling for Brother Pao, because he understands that kind of person is actually an idealist, who has ideals and is willing to implement them, much stronger than ordinary people in linen, but his ability is too poor, if Brother Pao has Vladimir's ability and can quickly seize power while the Xinhai Revolution is in place, maybe Yang Chao will help him, after all, he still understands modern times better than Yuan Shikai.

But this thing is completely a cannon, there is no door on his mouth, he dares to make any wish, he is quite a bit of a master with low eyes, his actual ability is too poor, and most importantly, he has no patience to do practical work with peace of mind, and his eyes are always fixed on the chair that is high above.

However, this big mouth has been relatively honest in the past two years, because there is really no soil for him to speak in China, and everyone is busy making war money, not to mention the heavy industry in Shandong, that is, the light industry in the south of the Yangtze River, all of which have made a lot of money, and the flour mills of the Rong brothers have expanded one after another, claiming that their flour can feed half of China's urban population.

In this case, it is true that no one wants to listen to Brother Pao's concept of revolution to save the country, and no one feels that the country is poisoned by the military, if this is poisoned, they don't mind being poisoned, if Brother Pao comes back, he will immediately be rampant everywhere, and the Green Gang will run rampant, they still don't want any democracy.

Therefore, Brother Pao has been in Taoguang for the past two years, and at the same time he has not forgotten to pick on the thorn of the government and make some critical remarks.

For example, he criticized the diplomacy of the Li Yuanhong government, arguing that it should recover all concessions, abolish or revise those unequal treaties, and take over the power of customs by itself.

Criticizing the government for not placing its major industries in Shandong and other places, but for developing in other places, this unbalanced state of development has greatly affected the fairness of the country, resulting in the expansion of some local forces, which is a great disadvantage to the country.

He was still very dissatisfied with the speed of China's railway construction, and criticized the transfer of all the power to build the railway to a single company, saying that this has seriously affected China's railway industry, and the government should increase its efforts to build a 200,000-mile railway as soon as possible, because the people of the whole country really can't afford to wait.

At present, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always insisted on negotiating with the foreign powers, and Germany and the United States are easy to say, but the ambiguity between Britain and France has always been delaying, and Britain and France are the source of unequal treaties, and other countries have obtained the most-favored-nation treatment, and if the treaty is amended with Britain and France, then the rights of other countries will automatically become invalid.

The Japanese did the same, and after revising the first unequal treaty with the United States, they canceled all the unequal treaties, because the Japan-US Treaty of Friendship and Commerce with the Americans was a root treaty.

It is a bit ridiculous to criticize Shandong's industry, the industry in Shandong and other places, that is when Brother Pao was busy fighting for power and profit, busy grabbing power, Yang Chao buried himself in laying the foundation, and now it has become the result of the support of the Beijing government.

Even if he criticizes diplomacy and criticizes industry, it is funny, but criticizing the railway industry makes Yang Chao a little incomprehensible, Zhan Tianyou's group of people who repair railways can already be described as desperate, China's railway industry is also eye-catching in the world, and Brother Pao should agree.

But when it came to Brother Pao's mouth, it became worthless, and Zhan Tianyou's efforts became an obstacle to China's railway industry.

Well, people often say that there are two mouths for official words, and Brother Pao is not an official, but there are two mouths up and down, which is very undisciplined. (To be continued.) )
