Chapter 463: The Road to a Great Power (7)

@@@@@@

"Jiangsu is our place, and the autonomy of the provinces was proposed by him Yang Qiu, so why should it be taken back now? We will fight to the end! ”

When Tang Juedun walked outside in a daze, that Zhang Xingshu was still talking about Jiangsu's autonomy. He was also in favour of provincial autonomy, but the problem was that autonomy was not independence and that central reform policies must also be implemented. It's ridiculous that those people think that autonomy is equal to independence, and no one can interfere, isn't it a joke! Of course, compared to all this mess, his mind was now full of shock at suddenly becoming Minister of Agriculture. Speaking from the heart, when he reaches his position, he must want to climb up, but when the national society is dominant, there are only a few ministers of agriculture, forestry and water conservancy who can be distributed, which is still deliberately leaked out of people's fingers.

O Minister of Agriculture! Looking at the treatment of the land, you can know that Yang Qiu is serious about agriculture, and it is by no means comparable to those people before, it is conceivable that this position is absolutely very important, the question is if he takes this position, will he still be a man? Before he finished thinking about it, Zhang Xingshu shouted when he saw him: "Yo, isn't this Brother Juedun, I'm going to say hello to you next, hello Minister of Agriculture!" Although it was a good word, the tone was very cold and hard, and the eyes of the people around him were also different, as if they were looking at another traitor.

Tang Jueton ignored him, arguing with this kind of person could only get darker and darker, so he went downstairs to meet Yang Qiu. The position of Minister of Agriculture is too hard to do, even if you think about it. But he had barely reached the top of the stairs when several young men in uniform suddenly approached him.

"Who is Zhang Xingshu?"

The young man was wearing a straight uniform and a straight waist, and at first glance he was not a policeman, but like those strictly trained soldiers, as they went upstairs, a smell of slaughter instantly diffused. Tang Juedun even felt that these young people had extraordinary backgrounds, because all the people they wore on their waists were Minyuan-style pistols! As a disciple of Caotang, he was very familiar with Cai Yi and other people in the military circles, so he had heard of the unwritten rules in the domestic weapons allocation. For example, in the northeast and northwest to deal with the rogues, individuals can hold shotguns, but they must have a gun license. Otherwise, it is illegal to be found and killed on the spot. And this Minyuan-style pistol has been recognized as a good gun by various countries since it participated in the European War, and Britain and France have also purchased patent imitations, so it only belongs to the military and confidential units, and the police, even if they are the chief superintendent, can only use domestically produced revolvers. So these people are obviously not as simple as the police.

Although Zhang Xingshu is also a member of the National Assembly, he was born in a salt merchant and has any friends in the military circles, not only did he not see the strangeness, but he shouted arrogantly on his face as a member of the National Assembly: "I am Zhang Xingshu, what do you want me to do?" ”

The young man at the head didn't talk nonsense at all, and waved his hand directly: "Take it away." ”

After receiving the order, several young people immediately started to arrest people, and Zhang Xingshu understood their intentions. Courageously he shouted, "Who are you? Who asked you to come? I'm a member of Congress! Why are you arresting me? Then does Yang Qiu want to rebel! As soon as he shouted, the gentry and officials around him also gathered around. Liang Qichao and Wang Zhaoming also ran out after hearing this, shouting: "Stop, why are you arresting congressmen? Cheng Cheng wasn't killed by him! ”

"Who said we are here for the case of martyr Cheng Cheng?" The young man squinted at Liang Qichao, took out his documents from his pocket and raised them in front of Zhang Xingshu: "Look clearly, we are from the Independent Commission Against Corruption of the Republic of China, and you have the right to remain silent from now on, but everything you say will be notarized in court!" Take. ”

Independent Commission Against Corruption? I'm afraid that only Tang Jueton knows this institution best. This was set up three years ago to monitor the use of domestic infrastructure funds by the central government and to prevent anyone from doing anything else. In the three years since its establishment, its powers have been gradually expanded, and it has begun to intervene in some anti-corruption and corruption cases. Liang Qichao has also heard of this institution. I also know who is behind them, but since I am here, how can I let them arrest people without evidence! So he stood up and said sharply: "No matter who sent you, you can't arrest people at will without evidence!" ”

The young man obviously recognized Liang Qichao and Wang Zhaoming, and after frowning, he suddenly pulled out his pistol: "Councilor Liang and Councilor Wang (both of them are also members of the National Assembly), judicial independence is stipulated in the Constitution, so I have no right to explain to you that there is anything that can be heard in the court." If you continue to interfere, I will arrest you for perverting the course of justice! As for why we took Councilor Zhang away, you can ask him himself how he bought the 3,000 acres of paddy fields in Huai'an County two years ago! ”

Zhang Xingshu, who felt that he had the support of Liang Qichao and Wang Zhaoming, suddenly wilted like a rooster when he heard this. When everyone looked at him, their eyes were already flickering, and their faces were dead. Liang Qichao was even more angry and stomped his feet again and again! Do you still need an explanation? Looking at this expression, you know that the field must have come from the wrong way! Seeing that they did not speak again, the young man put away his gun and waved his hand again. "Let go of me, you can't arrest me, I'm a congressman, I'm a congressman." Zhang Xingshu's shouting farther and farther away was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone, and many people were sweating on their foreheads. Slip away and prepare to leave first.

But they were still blocked at the door, and a large group of tax police and civil police began to roll call: "Yan Wu, Shen Binglie, Zhou Ankun take away!" One by one, the officials and gentry who shouted for injustice but had pale faces and wandering eyes made the surroundings quiet. Yang Qiu made a move! And as soon as he made a shot, he was ruthless! There were more than 20 faces missing from the chamber of commerce just now, which was still 100 people, and this proportion and scale were really terrifying!

Almost at the same moment, everyone in northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui widened their eyes, one after another officials and landlords and gentry were resisted arrest on various charges, and those murderers who had long been targeted by the security bureau were also arrested one after another. Hundreds of officials and gentry were escorted to Nanjing by the police, and the scenes of suspects were even reminiscent of what Eight Banners did after entering the customs! This scene made Liang Qichao really unable to sit still, and pulled Tang Juedun to see Yang Qiu together. The two are members of Congress anyway, so Kwong Xukun politely brought the two into the office.

When Yang Qiu entered the house, he was packing his things and preparing to go back to Nanjing, and when he saw the two of them, he greeted them with a smile as if he didn't know anything about the outside world: "Mr. Zhuoru!" I've heard of his name for a long time but I haven't had the opportunity to see it, and I'm ashamed to let you stoop to visit me! Bohe, don't go make tea yet. Liang Qichao saw that Yang Qiu was still acting, so he sat down in front of him angrily, and said coldly: "Vice President's tea Liang can't afford to drink!" He was already angry. After finishing speaking, he also regretted it, after all, what Yang Qiu has done over the years is obvious to all, so he didn't know how to open his mouth later, so he had to close his mouth first.

Yang Qiu didn't care. Smiled and sat in front of him. Tang Juedun didn't open his mouth when he saw the two of them competing with each other, so he simply started talking first: "The vice president is busy, so Juedun might as well say it directly." Tang Mou, the post of Minister of Agriculture, really did not dare to steal it, and hoped that the vice president. Before he finished speaking, Yang Qiu's face turned cold, and he deliberately glanced at Liang Qichao and said in a low voice: "Brother Jue Dun, what is the problem?" Agriculture is the foundation of our country, and 40,000,000 mouths are waiting to be fed. Only when agriculture is strong can a country prosper. This is a great event, and the Prime Minister's choice of you is not only his personal meaning, but also the talent of Brother Kyaw Dun! Besides, Yang also has no right to decide on the appointment of ministers. ”

Liang Qichao took a deep breath, forcibly endured the anger in his heart, and tried his best to keep himself calm and said: "Brother Ji Zhi has been in office for a few years, and he is careful in everything and does not dare to slack off. Why doesn't the vice president think about it? ”

Yang Qiu pretended to be very heartbroken and looked at Liang Qichao: "What Mr. Zhuo Ru said is right. Minister Zhang has indeed made great achievements in China's agricultural construction under the order of being in danger, and this cannot be denied by anyone. So I've made a recommendation to Congress that he be awarded a national honor. But now that the country has settled down, we should think more about the future. With the current situation in the country, it is impossible for the peasants to master the advanced farming methods on their own, nor can they take the initiative to migrate to expand the land and generate income, let alone open canals and build reservoirs. Therefore, our generation should take the initiative to stand up and find ways to encourage immigrants and open up land! To develop agricultural water conservancy, to learn foreign advanced farming methods, and then to promote to the fields. You can't do these things with care. ”

These words made Tang Juedun's body a little hot, and he studied in the grass hall by himself. Isn't it for these things to innovate and go around for the country, but when he saw Liang Qichao's face, the words "I want to do it" in his throat were choked back. Liang Qichao's face became more and more gloomy, and he said: "Reform is good, but you can't blindly follow the path of power!" The autonomy of the provinces is determined by the central government, so why is the vice president wantonly interfering in Jiangsu's affairs today? The gentry officials may be at fault. But what is the difference between such a large-scale arrest and the Qing court? Now that the country is weak and the people are poor, it is time to recuperate, before the vice president, you participated in the European war was an adventure, but fortunately, the sky was fortunate to save the day. Once the goal has been achieved, it is time to stop it, and such a big move is not the luck of the people, let alone the luck of the country! People of insight in the country are now all worried! Therefore, I hope that His Excellency the Vice President will immediately issue a statement and turn hostility into peace. ”

His words were already clearly accusatory, and even Tang Jue suddenly felt harsh, but Yang Qiu continued to hold the teacup unhurriedly, and raised his eyebrows after blowing away the white mist on it: "What does Mr. Liang mean that Comrade Cheng Cheng did wrong?" Should 40,000,000 of our compatriots continue to be imprisoned in slavery for freedom? Should all the land be given to the gentry? Can local officials do their own thing without listening to the central government's decrees? I would like to ask, Mr. Liang, do you want autonomy or independence! Engage in secession! ”

Tang Jue suddenly saw that his voice was getting louder and louder, and finally stomped the teacup on the table, and his eyes became extremely cold, knowing that it was going to be bad but he couldn't hold it anymore. Liang Qichao was enraged, thinking that he had always regarded himself as a constitutional, and Geng Zinian even threw his head and spilled blood to try to revitalize the country, but in the end he got a sentence of separation, how could he stand it! Standing up, his fingers trembling and replied, "Yang Qiu!" You, you, you, you, this is destroying the republic! It's to bring the country to a dead end, don't think that military power can do anything wrong in your hands, I must impeach you! Impeach you! ”

"Members of Congress have the right to impeach government officials, and Mr. Leung can do whatever he can. I don't send it! After Yang Qiu finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Tang Jueton: "Minister Tang, think about everything, should our generation leave something for the country, or to hinder the 40,000,000 people from moving towards happiness!" ”

Liang Qichao was completely stupid, and when he saw that Tang Juedun was actually thinking about Yang Qiu's words, he pointed to his nose and scolded sharply: "Okay, okay!" Kyaw Don, you're going to be a traitor too! Good heaven, heaven! I don't believe it, there is no place for reason in this world! ”

He pushed the door out in a hurry, almost bumping into Yang Du who was about to come in, Tang Jueton nodded to Yang Qiu with a wry smile and chased him out. With the departure of the two, this big drama can be regarded as the most important, especially after more and more Jiangsu officials and gentry were arrested, the whole country was even more frightened, wondering when this turmoil would end and whether it would affect them.

Yang Qiu slowly sat down and sighed quietly, and waved his hand to Yang Du: "The Land Reform Act should also come out, you and I should go back to Nanjing tonight." ”…… (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
