(.) Chapter 288

When he left this small courtyard, Zhang Shixiu's footsteps were a little floating. The eyes of the guards at the gate are still so sharp, for Zhang Shixiu, he can not see it now.

Zhang Shixiu is also a person with ideals, or a person who wants to make a career. However, his ideals were ruthlessly crushed in the reality of the past. A few years in prison is a heavy blow for an ambitious man. But what can be done? "This is my hometown, my motherland." Fang Dashuai's words have been hovering in Zhang Shixiu's mind.

In fact, in the past two hours, the content of the conversation between the two was not limited to Shanxi. More often than not, it is for the whole country, or even the world. As for how to deal with the problems faced by this country, Fang Jianxiong, a warlord, actually has his own set of logic, which sounds even good.

"Development overwhelms a qiē, and stability dìng overwhelms a qiē. To achieve these two goals, the first is to stabilize the internal environment, and the second is to stabilize the external environment. How to solve the problem of internal stability...... and how to solve the problem of external environment? ”

Fang Jianxiong's set of theories is too novel in Zhang Shixiu's opinion, and he has not been able to digest it so far. If it cannot be fully understood, it does not mean that it is unreasonable, and it does not mean that it is not feasible. In other words, Zhang Shixiu, who has rich experience in rural work, can understand the importance of this theory.

Zhang Shixiu probably didn't expect that his outstanding performance in grassroots work would enter Fang Dashuai's eyes. Even Fang Jianxiong endured it and didn't send him out. In this era, there is not too much shortage of readers. But there are very few people like Zhang Shixiu who have work experience at the grassroots level and have excellent grades. Grassroots work is always the most difficult thing to do. I thought that many contradictions were trivial. But this is the reality, the country is too poor, the people are too bitter, and trivial contradictions are big contradictions. There is no patience and persistence required to deal with these trivial contradictions. It is difficult to carry out the work at the grassroots level.

Fang Jianxiong is now lacking such a person, and there is such a person to form a team to guide the growth of a group of young people.

If only to consider the armed seizure of dominance in this country. For Fang Jianxiong, it will take a not too long time now, and it will probably be basically completed. But this is not the China that Fang Jianxiong, the traverser, wants. So many things can only be done in advance and laid out.

Zhang Shixiu eventually chose to return to Shanxi, although he did not receive any substantial help. But Zhang Shixiu wanted to go back and verify some of the things he heard, from Fang Dashuai.

……………………

The Beijing Tianqiao is as bustling as ever, and the air in the Bada Hutong is still mixed with the aroma of various fat powders. In the afterglow of the sunset, there are no eyes to see the sunset in the Forbidden City, and the so-called orphans and widows are hiding in the Imperial Peace Garden.

At this time and space, in late April 1912, history changed. There are also unchanged. The pace of history that has been rolling forward has encountered a stumbling block, and history has begun to go round and round in these months.

The conditions set by Fang Dashuai can no longer be described in two words. It's like riding on the neck of the North Ocean and.

There is no sincerity in the peace talks, so it can be qualified.

There was an afternoon meeting. The Beiyang dignitaries came to such a conclusion. Putting aside the political demands of the autonomous region, which are no different from independence, then we will take out the two most unacceptable ones and analyze them separately. First, the establishment, equipment, and salaries of the 20 infantry divisions can be seen clearly, these are 20 infantry divisions. and equipment and money. They all have to be raised by the central government! Second, the punishment of war criminals, followed by a list of lists. The first is Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xun, Cao Kun, Lu Yongxiang .......

Not to mention anything else, if you agree in the past two days, Beiyang will no longer exist zài. Fang Jianxiong, this is to force Beiyang to a dead end. No one in the conference room was talking at this time, in fact, a civil and military officer never understood a problem. That is, Fang Dashuai is facing great pressure from the ministers of the four countries, how can he have the courage to prescribe such a condition for death?

Could it be that he forgot the Eight-Nation Coalition in the year of Gengzi? The troops, now at most, are the Four-Nation Alliance, as if the Germans and Americans have hooked up with Fang Jianxiong.

All eyes finally fell on Yuan Shikai, who had been silent, and at this time everyone knew that the position of the boss was not easy to sit on, especially when there was such a strong local warlord, it was really a crime to be the president.

Yuan Shikai is probably the most confused one at this moment. After many years of career in the sea of Huan, ups and downs, and the thinking that was already a stereotype for some things was suddenly disturbed. In today's China, if we want to dominate the country's political and overall situation, we must first not offend foreigners, second, we must be recognized by foreigners, and finally, we must have the support of foreigners.

Yuan Shikai in history, isn't that what he did? In the end, step by step, he embarked on the emperor's road of no return. Some people may say what would happen if Yuan Shikai was not emperor, and what would happen to China. Objectively speaking, the Beiyang system determines the final chaos in China. Of course, Yuan Shikai didn't think so.

When Beiyang was having a headache over this issue, there was also a debate on the banks of the Yangtze River.

The debate in Wuchang was, to put it a cliché, an exchange of different opinions within the party's democratic context.

The focus of the debate is that in recent times, the progress of rent and interest rate cuts has been difficult. Or rather, no progress.

The essence of rent and interest reduction is to let the landlord class give up profits in order to ease the social contradictions in the rural areas. Of course, this is the current statement, and there is a more accurate and pointed definition of "class contradiction" in history.

Fang Dashuai, who had been silent at the meeting, naturally knew the meaning of this definition. At that time, Fang Dashuai was full of vigilance about this definition. Looking at the history of another time and space, because the emergence of this set of theories brought about a revolution that lasted for decades. Objectively speaking, this set of theories is the cornerstone of the success of the Chinese revolution in another time and space.

The two sides of the argument are Tang Hualong and Han Yan. In principle, the work of reducing rents and interest rates should be formulated in conjunction with the autonomous regions and implemented by the provinces independently. However, the implementation of each province is different, and the implementation at this stage is more smooth in Anhui Province. Jiangxi and Hubei can only be said to have just made a start, and Hunan Province can't take care of it yet.

The reason why this debate is happening today is because in the past month, a major event has happened in Jingzhou.

The general process of the incident is that there is a gang boss in Jingzhou City, and he is also a large landowner named Huang Ren (fictional character). This person was born in the Elders' Association, and after the Wuchang Movement, there was also a revolution in Jingzhou. Huang Ren, as the boss of the Elders' Association, did respond to the revolution with his brothers, and also made great contributions, and later won the position of captain of the dock patrol.

But it was such a revolutionary "comrade" who did not relentless at all in the face of his own tenants. When a loan shark was not repaid when it expired, Huang Ren asked his brother to arrest the tenant's daughter-in-law to settle the debt. The tenant's family consisted of four men, and the usury was carried by the wife when he was married. The so-called donkey rolling, the rolling is very powerful, and it is basically a lifelong thing to carry it on your back. The mother-in-law who caught up with the tenant fell ill and died, and the repayment of the usury was delayed in order to cure the disease. Before the dead man was buried in the ground, the gang members who came to rob him arrived. The four sons of the tenant were thirty years old, and sixteen youngest.

In the process of collecting accounts, he and his daughter-in-law were the only ones in the old tenant's house, and the old man knelt down and begged to no avail, and when he ate a kick in the chest, he vomited blood and fell to the ground. The daughter-in-law was also dragged away, and caught up with the two younger sons to come back with firewood. chased out of the village, beat a hoe and a flat burden, and killed three gang members.

However, this is not the end, but the beginning. What happened next was that the whole village was ignited by the family's tragedy. That night, Huang Ren's residence outside the city was besieged by dozens of villagers, and a fire was burned, and Huang Ren's family of more than 20 people was killed cleanly.

The villagers who committed the crime then all fled. Jingzhou, because of the handling of this matter, formed two fierce opposites. On the one hand, it is advocated that the farmers involved in the case be dealt with strictly, and the monks who ran away could not run to the temple, and the people involved in the case ran away. Relatives and family are still there, right? Scratch it, you can't just swallow this breath anyway.

The opposing side opposed this, for the simple reason that rent and interest reduction was the policy of the autonomous region, and Huang Ren, as a squire, was also an official of the state government. Failure to implement the government's policies is no matter what, but instead it has intensified and resisted the policy.

The two sides of the dispute in Jingzhou seem to have a huge disparity in power. On the one hand, the local gentry in Jingzhou, including the majority of the members of the state legislature, have an absolute advantage in numbers. On the other hand, there are officials sent from the provincial capital, namely the commander of the Jingzhou regional security, the special supervisor of the autonomous regional political affairs committee, the governor of Jingzhou and some state government officials. This governor, unlike the governor of the United States, is a bit of a later secretary of the local party committee.

The two sides quarreled, and the violence of the security forces was mastered, and the opposition was able to barely resist. Make a compromise and report it to the province. When the incident was reported to the province, it naturally attracted attention. It was immediately transferred to the hands of the executors of the current highest authority, and rent reduction and interest reduction are an important policy, and Fang Dashuai only took a lesson not long ago. It has been emphasized many times that the stability of the countryside is the foundation of the entire regime.

That is, the higher the level, the more they know that this matter is valued by Fang Dashuai. The incident was sent to Fang Dashuai's desk in the shortest possible time. As a result, a high-level meeting of the party was held. Fang Dashuai's mind must first reach an agreement within the party, and then it can be brought to the enlarged meeting of the Political Affairs Committee for discussion.

Fang Jianxiong is very clear about the essence of this matter, and in terms of reality, in the past five years, he can only ease the contradictions. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
