Chapter Eighty-Four: Discussing the National Capital

By the end of December, the anti-smoking campaign in the country had come to an end, and progress was going well, with more than 12 million smokers being forced to quit smoking, a large number of drugs destroyed and confiscated, and the whole country singing the praises of the government. The anti-smoking campaign not only destroyed the opium poppies and confiscated opium, but also introduced clear laws to combat the drug and save millions of families.

Qin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief after finishing this series of things, now the Northeast has not yet solved the basic unification of the whole country, and the Huaxia government has won the support of the people of the whole country in one fell swoop after the British incident, and the Huaxia government is really accepted by the vast majority of the people, so he can also be the shopkeeper.

The things that the Chinese government has done after the unification of the customs are obvious to all, and it has brought a lot of surprises to the Chinese people, and the Chinese people have changed the previous style of not talking about state affairs, and they have talked about state affairs after tea and dinner, and perhaps the defeat of Britain has restored some self-confidence and national spirit.

Qin Yu didn't let people interfere with the people's talk about national affairs or anything, in his opinion, it is better to be blocked, as long as the dissemination of news is controlled, the direction of public opinion can be well guided, and the other is that the people have been suppressed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty for hundreds of years and are now in the exchange of the old and new eras, and the active vitality is always better than a pool of stagnant water.

Nanjing has a long history and is one of the four ancient capitals of China, known as the "Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties" and "Capital of Ten Dynasties", and is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization. The Huaxia government has been staying in Nanjing, and it seems that there is a tendency to make Nanjing the national capital, and it has become a big talk of the people about Huaxia's capture of Beijing without moving to Beijing.

"I said why didn't the government move there after taking down Beijing for so long, that is our national capital."

"What nonsense, Beijing used to be the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but now it is Huaxia, the Chinese government has the final say, I think Nanjing is not bad, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is not worse than Beijing at all."

"According to me, it should be that the government does not want to start a war with the northeast now, do you think the government will not be afraid to move to the northeast side of Beijing? In addition, the government has been fighting a war recently, after fighting Beiyang and the revolutionary army, and then fighting in the northwest, and also going to Tibet to quell the rebellion and the British, what do you say is the war, it is silver for nothing, and when the cannon goes off, it is ten thousand taels of gold, even if the government has money, it cannot withstand such a toss. ”

"You don't understand this, don't you look at where the chairman is? Jiangnan is the chairman's base camp, and it is more conducive to controlling the overall situation in Nanjing Andu, and I think eighty percent is Nanjing. ”

"There are a lot of Manchu relics in Beijing, and Mongolia is so close to Beijing, and Tsarist Russia is eyeing it, so it's better to be in Nanjing."

"Hmph, Nanjing is good, Nanjing is easy to be threatened from the sea, think about the British bombardment of Nanjing twice a few decades ago, and now my country's navy has only been developed for a few years, how can it be compared to those naval powers that have been developed for a long time, don't look at this victory over Britain and think that our navy is very strong, in fact, we have defeated only the warships that people do not enter, and the navy in Europe is not known to be many times stronger than our country, so it is better to move to Beijing."

"It's just that Nanjing is too close to the ocean, which is very bad, so I moved to Beijing."

“……”

The people are very curious about the Chinese government Andu, after all, Andu is related to the prosperity of the country, and more than 2,000 years of feudal thought is still dominating them, and the issue of feng shui is very important in their opinion.

For example, Yan Fu, the president of Peking University, expressed his hope that the government can be in Beijing in the interview, and Beijing is the center of China at the current stage of both humanities and history, and Beijing also has the Forbidden City, and the dragon spirit of China has been in Beijing for hundreds of years, so I hope that the Chinese government can move to Beijing.

Cai Yuanpei, Minister of Education of China and Vice President of Anqing University, believes that Nanjing is no worse than Beijing, and that the most economically developed region in China is East China, and East China has become the economic center of China.

The newspapers published the views of these two men, and at the same time interviewed many government officials and well-known people in society, and the views on Nanjing and Beijing are now basically equal, and even Nanjing has the upper hand, because eighty percent of the top officials of the government are from East China.

As the newspapers reported one after another, the question of where to set the capital continued to ferment, and even Huaxia Daily participated in it, and even wanted to interview Qin Yu, but was refused, and then wanted to interview Chen Fu and them, but Qin Yu did not express his opinion, and they did not dare to publish it casually, so the core figures of the Huaxia government have not expressed their opinions now, which also makes the people a little confused.

Qin Yu is actually also considering whether to relocate the government to Beijing, in fact, he is more inclined to move, because in the future, there will be a stop with Russia and Japan, which can play a good role in deterrence and management in Beijing, and can better deal with things in the north, and there are basically no major things in the south now. But he is a little reluctant to Nanjing, his base camp is in East China, and Nanjing has been undergoing large-scale modifications, as long as a few years Nanjing will become the largest metropolis in China, in Nanjing can also make the Chinese people pay attention to the development of the navy, in this era there is no navy is no right to speak, Qin Yu has a special emotion for the navy, perhaps it is influenced by later generations. Qin Yu was also a little wavering, he knew that if he went to Beijing, he would face a problem, the sandstorms and haze weather in later generations would be very strict, and if he wanted to move to Beijing, he would have to prevent these environmental problems, which was a headache.

There are also two voices in the Huaxia government about the matter of Dingdu, and the core figures basically do not express their opinions, only those ordinary high-level and low-level personnel are discussing, and even the army is involved, and the result is that those who move to Beijing overwhelm those who stay in Nanjing, which is very unscientific, after all, the people in power in the army are basically people from East China, but why they unanimously asked to move to Beijing, even Jiang Fangzhen and others do not understand. After investigation, it was found that more than three-quarters of the soldiers asked Qin Yu to move to Beijing to live in the Forbidden City, and they fanatically wanted Qin Yu to be the emperor, and they did not dare to speak casually about this Jiang Fangzhen and Cai Yi and others, nor did they dare to scold them, because the current Wehrmacht had a very strict personality cult against Qin Yu.

In the face of this situation in the army, even the government has to retreat, and there are people in the government who worship Qin Yu, but they basically have their own ideas, so they are not as strict as the army, and the situation in the army has a tendency to spread to government personnel, and some personnel have begun to blindly ask to be relocated to Beijing. Some scholars believe that the army is belligerent and that the purpose of moving north is to wage war with the northeast, which is a reckless force, so they have spat at the army and demand the peaceful reunification of the northeast.

A large number of people took to the streets again to demand peace talks between the Northeast government and the Chinese government, refusing to war, but this time Zhang Zuolin did not let it go, he let a large number of guards and soldiers to suppress the demonstration, and the people who marched were forcibly dispersed, and some even had a bloody incident, and a large number of people were arrested, especially those young and angry youths were arrested the most.

Although the people in Guannai were angry at the people who suppressed the protests in the Northeast, they failed to give the capital a fire, and this incident only made more people support moving to Beijing, hoping to unify the Northeast as soon as possible.

When Qin Yu was constantly entangled, Cai Ye and Jiang Fangzhen and others found him, the attitude of the military is now very resolute, they feel that Beijing can be regarded as the central government, from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, Beijing is the center of power in the country, this has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the soldiers except for the officers are basically poor people with big characters, so they only identify with Beijing as the national capital.

"Chairman move north, the soldiers only identify with Beijing now, I think Beijing is very good, moving there can also deter the die-hard elements of the former Qing Dynasty and most of the people, and it will also be convenient for us to take back Outer Mongolia when we get there. Our navy is not very strong, and if we start a war with Japan, Nanjing may be attacked by the Japanese navy, so I will move north. Cai Ye said directly after seeing Qin Yu.

Jiang Fangzhen shook his head and said: "Both Beijing and Nanjing can be the national capital, but now this is really not what we want to discuss, how much time will be wasted to relocate or something, and the Northeast has not yet been resolved, moving to Beijing so quickly may cause Zhang Zuolin's nervousness, once he takes refuge in Japan, we will have to wait a few years before we can take back there." Chairman, what do you think, to move or not to move? ”

"Then let's move to Beijing, but we have to wait until the northeast is solved before moving, what we need to do now is to popularize the literacy of army soldiers, organize soldiers to study, and make it compulsory to learn knowledge, so that they will not be bored to make trouble. To prepare, there will be a big military parade next year, and this military parade is too important to prepare carefully and not make a fool of yourself. Qin Yu closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he said slowly, "By the way, tomorrow I will have people announce the decision to make Beijing the national capital, as well as the establishment of the Nanheng Military Region, under the jurisdiction of the armies of Nanhai Province and Beiheng Province, you can go back." ”

Cai Ye and Jiang Fangzhen rushed back to the army when they saw that the matter was resolved, leaving Qin Yu alone to ponder, he felt that it was good to move to Beijing, which would be conducive to his series of plans later.

The next day, the Huaxia government officially announced that Beijing would become the national capital, and after the reunification of the northeast, it would move to Beijing, and the other was to establish the Nanheng Military Region in Nanhai Province and Beiheng Province, appointing Lieutenant General Li Bingying as commander-in-chief, Wang Qiang as deputy commander, and Chen Jiongming as chief of staff, and the permanent strength of the Nanheng Military Region was 200,000 regular troops.
