Although the Ministry of Supervision has not been established for a long time, it has not carried out any major operations in the three northeastern provinces.

However, this does not mean that the Ministry of Supervision has done nothing.

When Zhao Zhigang led the troops over in Changchun, the original governor and chief soldier of Jilin abandoned the city and fled without even seeing the shadow of the national defense army.

In the end, however, they were not spared the fight against the Wehrmacht.

Zhao Zhigang seemed to have thought that the Changchun garrison did not have the courage to defend the city. When the main force was still on the road, the troops of the three regiments had already prepared pocket formations for the officers and troops at the other three city gates in Changchun.

No, as soon as the two of them left the city with thousands of people, they all got into the pocket array. In the end, thousands of officers and soldiers, wiped out by the exterminated, captured by the captives, not a single one escaped.

After the governor and the general soldier left with the troops, the highest official of the imperial court who remained in Changchun was the prefect of Changchun, because the local officials had the responsibility of guarding the land. Even if he could escape now and not be killed by the Wehrmacht, the imperial court that got the news would cut off his own head.

Therefore, the prefect Huang Wenyu could only stand at the head of the city and watch with envy as the two officials led the troops away.

However, as the dense gunfire and explosions sounded outside the city, the envious expression on Huang Wenyu's face disappeared directly, and then he showed a happy smile for the rest of his life.

It didn't take long for the gunfire to end.

Thousands of national defense troops, armed with all kinds of weapons and prisoners of the officers and soldiers who had just surrendered, pressed towards Changchun City.

At the same time, a large number of Wehrmacht units appeared outside the city gates in the other two directions.

"My lord, the Wehrmacht is menacing, and there are only a few hundred patrol battalions set up, and it will definitely not be able to stop it."

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Wenyu, Huang Wenyu had an idea and directly made a decision that surprised everyone, opened the city gate, and took the initiative to surrender to the Wehrmacht.

In order to commend Huang Wenyu for his surrender and dedication to the city, and then other imperial court officials in Jilin set an example, Zhao Zhigang, who was eager to understand the situation in Jilin Province, decisively accepted his surrender, and also gave her a promotion to the rank of official, and then appointed as the governor of Fu.

At this time, some people may think that this Huang Wenyu is so wise and how he is bright.

If you think so, you are very wrong. Huang Wenyu is not a capable minister, he is still a corrupt official, and he is a corrupt official who is good at speculation. Otherwise, he would not have become the prefect of the imperial court before the age of thirty.

After becoming the vice governor of Jilin Province, because he didn't understand the situation, Huang Wenyu restrained a lot.

However, as time went on, Huang Wenyu slowly understood the National Defense Army, and Huang Wenyu's careful thinking slowly moved.

You must know that all the court officials who surrendered to the Wehrmacht with him at the beginning totaled hundreds of people, and almost all of them were accepted by the Wehrmacht, and then became officials in the provincial government established by the Wehrmacht.

Because Huang Wenyu, who also belonged to the imperial court officials, had the highest level in the new government, these nearly 100 former imperial court officials began to gather around him, but Huang Wenyu was the first to look forward, and invisibly formed a faction, and the officials sent by Fengtian interfered with each other.

If it was just a matter of obstruction, as their influence in the government grew, the nature of corruption was slowly exposed.

The National Defense Forces attached much more importance to the local people than the imperial court, and in just one year, the Ministry of Civil Affairs allocated more than 5 million taels of silver to the Jilin Provincial Government.

When did Huang Wenyu and others, who had been nesting in the barren land of Changchun, see so much silver, and took advantage of the fact that the officials sent by Fengtian were not familiar with the place, and five million taels of silver were plucked, and in the end, all two million taels fell into the pockets of Huang Wenyu and others.

Because the power of Huang Wenyu and others is too great and intertwined, and this matter is very hidden. In addition, although Zhou Bowen, the governor of Jilin Province, is the governor of the province, he has no way to control the provincial government because of Huang Wenyu and others.

Therefore, although Zhou Bowen heard about Huang Wenyu's corruption, he could only watch the other party get away with it because he had no evidence.

At the government meeting just now, Huang Wenyu once again refuted a proposal from Governor Zhou Bowen by virtue of his power in the government.

Just when Zhou Bowen sat in his place with a gloomy face and thought about how to break the game. The director of the Jilin Provincial Supervision Department, who rarely showed up, suddenly appeared in front of him, and said in a surprising voice as soon as he came up.

"Governor Zhou, I just received an order that the Marshal's Mansion is ready to clean up corrupt officials like Huang Wenyu and old ministers of the imperial court. Now, the Ministry of Supervision has a lot of evidence of their corruption. I wonder if the Ministry of Inspectorate's arrest will be able to function properly on the part of the government, and whether there will be enough people to take over the vacant positions. ā€

Shocked, Zhou Bowen immediately thought of an official letter he received two days ago, asking him to reduce the number of government personnel and streamline some repetitive agencies. At that time, because of Huang Wenyu's matter, Zhou Bowen was ready to deal with it later.

Now that I think about it, the Ministry of Supervision suddenly wants to find out Huang Wenyu's former court ministers. Zhou Bowen immediately realized that at this time, a large-scale purge was carried out by the Marshal's Mansion.

Take down those people first, and then take the opportunity to streamline government agencies and reduce the number of staff.

Pleasantly surprised, Zhou Bowen immediately affirmed: "There is no problem." As long as half of the provincial government stays, I can keep the provincial government running. ā€

However, Zhou Bowen didn't be happy for too long before reminding with a worried face: "However, Director of Culture, Huang Wenyu is the vice governor, and the network in the provincial government is too complicated, and the Huang family's influence in Changchun City is also very large. There are only more than 100 people in the Supervision Department, and they are basically civilian, I am afraid that you will not be able to deal with Huang Wenyu, but will cause chaos in Changchun City. ā€

Wen Yuan, the director of the Supervision Department, replied with a confident face: "There will definitely be no problems, this time, we have the army to help." The Fourth Division, which was stationed outside the city, sent a whole battalion into the city to cooperate with us. ā€

"At twelve o'clock this evening, the troops will enter the city. My idea is that tomorrow morning at five o'clock, just after dawn, we will start to get all the people who should be arrested before noon. ā€

"How do you need the provincial government to cooperate!" Zhou Bowen's face also became serious, and he asked.

Wen Yuan replied confidently: "Two things to do." First, prepare manpower to ensure that there is no chaos on the government's side. Second, the facts of corruption by these officials should be publicized in a timely manner to avoid causing panic. Another thing is that we have too many people to arrest this time, and everyone has a complex network of relationships, so we must pay attention to confidentiality before the operation begins. ā€

"No problem!" Zhou Bowen was also infected by the confidence on Wen Yuan's face, and replied very firmly. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
