Chapter 22 Establishment of the East China Government
Update a chapter at noon and another chapter at night, Satan kneels here to beg for collection and recommendation, give me a big ticket to kill me!!!
After the Shangqiu crisis was resolved, Qin Yu's super protection line was basically completed, and now all that remained was to replenish the troops on this front, and Chen Fu and the others also returned to Anqing.
Due to the dereliction of duty of Qin Yu's intelligence department this time, he almost failed to guide the protective line plan, and was scolded by Qin Yu, in fact, he didn't blame the intelligence department, but no one would have thought that the Beiyang Army going south would stop in Henan, but fortunately, it was remedied in time, otherwise it would be over. Although this time it was very thrilling, Yuan Shikai was also beaten by Qin Yu, and Yuan Shikai now has a shadow on Qin Yu, which Qin Yu did not expect.
Qin Yu gathered his subordinates together in order to set up a government, and it was a headache to manage the four provinces, so it was necessary to have his own government to manage the four provinces, and after three days of discussion, the system and regulations of the East China government were determined.
The supreme leader of the East China Government is the chairman, and the former governors and county commanders have been changed to provincial governors, mayors, county heads, town heads, and village heads, and the military and government have been separated, and the army is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, thus preventing the army from disrupting the country.
Qin Yu was inaugurated as chairman of the East China Government and chairman of the Central Military Commission; Jiang Fangzhen was appointed vice chairman of the Central Military Commission and general staff of the Central Military Commission; Chen Fu was appointed vice chairman and commander-in-chief of the army; Ye Canhua, Huang Cheng, Li Dahai, and Qin San were appointed governors of Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui respectively; Han Ming was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the army; and Wang Li was appointed chief of the army general staff......
The East China government also has a series of departments such as economy, industry, agriculture, education, foreign affairs, courts, etc., all of which Qin Yu drew on later generations of China, and there is also an anti-corruption bureau dedicated to managing corruption.
In order to maintain the fairness and integrity of government officials, Qin Yu implements a point system, each government official has a corresponding score, once it is lower than the specified score, then you will roll up and leave; All subordinate officials who make mistakes, embezzle, betray the country, sell the government, and so on will be deducted points or even fired, and all officials who are corrupt and bribery, no matter how much, will be deprived of their lifelong political rights, and will not be allowed to become officials again, and the three generations of their direct children will not be allowed to participate in government recruitment and will not be allowed to enter government work; The direct children and wives of officials at or above the county level must be approved by the state before they can do business, and all the property acquired by them will be confiscated without their consent, and officials may not use their rights to shield or escort anyone else in commercial or other acts, confiscate two-thirds of the property of those who are escorted by them if discovered, and deal with the official strictly, and so on.
The salaries of government officials in East China will be very high, so that corruption can be prevented. Officials below the municipal level, including the municipal level, must be elected by the people, and during their tenure of office, they will be satisfied with the people, and once they fall below 60 percent, they will be dismissed.
As for why the provincial officials are not also elected, there is a reason, few people in later generations will know the provincial officials, and most of them don't even know who their mayors, county magistrates, and town mayors are, not to mention the provincial ones, in fact, they really want everyone to participate in the election, even the United States in the future, and the current Chinese transportation is very backward, and many places don't even have much contact with the outside world.
After Qin Yu established the East China Government, he immediately transferred the graduates of Anqing University and the political talents trained in Anhui to the provinces to take up posts, and after stabilizing the country, Qin Yu will also carry out a big examination that affects the four provinces to recruit talents to serve the four provinces, and only young and new talents can better adapt to and promote the policies of the East China Government.
On November 1, 1911, Qin Yu officially telegraphed the establishment of the East China Government, with Nanjing as the capital, and the East China Government governed Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and parts of southeastern Henan, southern Shandong, and eastern Hubei.
The news of the establishment of the East China government swept through China like a tornado, and the East China government officially stepped onto the political stage of China.
The people of the whole country were frightened by Qin Yu's actions, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was really powerless against Qin Yu, and many intellectuals who were dissatisfied with the Manchu Qing Dynasty went to Qin Yu one after another, after all, Qin Yu's strength was stronger than the revolutionary army, not a star and a half, you didn't see Qin Yu robbing the territory of the revolutionary army, the revolutionary army didn't even dare to say a word, you didn't see the Beiyang Army was beaten by Qin Yu and lost the southeast of Henan and the south of Shandong!
Many old people, that is, the group of old Xiucai who have taken the eight-strand essay exam all their lives, are scolding Qin Yu for being rebellious and deserving of death, what Manchu is orthodox or something, what is really a group of brain-dead who were poisoned by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they swore to defend their little kid emperor to the death.
The Wuhan Revolutionary Army was deeply hit after receiving the news of the establishment of the East China Government, and hated Qin Yu even more, so the Wuhan Military Government directly scolded Qin Yu for his shamelessness in the newspapers and called on the people to unite to overthrow Qin Yu or something.
Qin Yu really disdains this and a bunch of mediocre people who can only move their mouths, no wonder the Kuomintang in later generations will retreat to Taiwan. After announcing the establishment of the East China Government, Qin Yu also announced a large number of policies, which are being implemented by the people below.
The first is to take over the land to the government, and all the land will be taken over to the government after being uniformly measured, and those landlords who hand over the land will be partially compensated, and if they do not pay it, they will have to pay a huge amount of money to redeem the land, and they will only have the right to use and operate for 70 years, while the peasants will get the right to use and manage 10 acres of land for each person for 70 years as long as they hand over half of the grain every year for five consecutive years. However, if the land is not cultivated for more than three years and there is no other reason, it will be repossessed, and those landlords must cultivate those land, and Huaxing Group and Qin's Group will provide tractors and other farming machines to these landlords, but they must sell the future materials to these two groups, and the money will be deducted a little at a time until the deduction is exhausted.
This policy can be said to have no resistance in Anhui, because the landlords in Anhui have basically become capitalists and farmers, and if you still live on your few acres of land in Anhui, then you will be collectively despised by those landlords who have successfully transformed.
However, in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Jiangsu, it encountered huge resistance, but with the help of Huaxing Group, Qin Group and the army, it was still carried out very smoothly, of course, there were also resistances, but after Qin Yu dealt with it resolutely, those who originally wanted to resist were extinguished. After Qin Yu finished this, he removed the land that was sold to the peasants at a low price, and there was also this almost 1.5 billion mu of land, Qin Yu planned to pack it up and sell it in dozens of parts, after all, there is enough land in the two groups now, and it is not suitable for the healthy development of the national economy to engage in monopoly.
Qin Yu also issued a braid-cutting order and a foot release order, and the people of the four provinces began to cut their braids one after another after accepting the East China government, except for those who still thought about the Manchu Qing Dynasty; The old custom of kneeling was also abolished; Abolish all the excesses and miscellaneous taxes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and so on.
In the area of education, nine-year compulsory education will be introduced, and every child must attend school when he reaches the age of age, and no one may violate it, and more than 30,000 primary schools and 10,000 junior high schools, 10,000 high schools, and 100 universities will be established in the four provinces in the next 10 years.
In addition to these, Qin Yu also began to officially recruit a large number of technical personnel in the four provinces, as long as you have a skill, you are not afraid of no work, and also recruit a large number of workers, arsenals and other factories can produce in a big way in the open, no longer have to hide, with the help of the two major groups, the four provinces began a crazy construction
