Hearing the news that Yang Qiuxing was going to Gong Changling in person, all the cabinet members present raised objections. At present, although the riots have not spread outward because the surrounding cities have entered a state of alert in advance, the situation in Gongchangling has not been alleviated in the slightest. A large number of local officials were killed, as were local people's congress deputies, and the antagonism between the Manchus and Hans, under the control of some well-intentioned people, had reached the point of being on the same footing. As the premier of the Northeast Autonomous Region, if Yang Qiuxing goes to the riot area in person, if there is any accident, I am afraid that the consequences will not be affordable by anyone.

"Prime Minister, you can't go in person, if something happens, there will be no room for de-escalation in the whole situation." The speaker was Vice Premier Dai Wanjun, who was in his fifties and served as the vice president of the Dashang Group under Wang Yi. Now serving as the vice premier of the Northeast Autonomous Region, Wang Yi is also in order to provide necessary personnel help for his student Yang Qiuxing, after all, he is still young and his capital is insufficient. After thinking about it, Dai Wanjun took the initiative to ask, "I'll go." Prime Minister, you can command remotely in Liaoyang. ”

"This ......," Yang Qiuxing took a deep breath.

"Most of the local government departments in Gongchangling, except for the garrison, have lost contact, and we are not very clear about the current situation there. Prime Minister, you go now, it's too dangerous! ”

The people around him also kept persuading, and Yang Qiuxing thought twice before agreeing.

"There's Brother Lao Wanjun."

"Everyone is doing things for business, and they should be."

"Lao Dai, you must pay attention to safety." Yang Qiuxing instructed, then picked up the phone himself, and said: "General Staff, I am Yang Qiuxing, Premier of the Autonomous Region, and I am looking for Wang Xiaoxiao, Chief of General Staff." ”

Wang Xiaoxiao already knew about the situation in Gong Changling, and he was also waiting for news from the government, according to the current system, the army has no right to directly interfere in politics. If the Prime Minister's Office of the Four Seasons Palace does not authorize it, Wang Xiaoxiao can only wait.

"Hello, Prime Minister, I'm Wang Xiaoxiao."

"Order the insurance team to attack and suppress the riots, cooperate with the police to arrest the rioters, and resolutely suppress and never tolerate anyone who dares to resist stubbornly."

"Yes!"

"In addition, let Zhao Ziguang dispatch the Air Force to take aerial photos and collect evidence."

"Yes!"

One after another orders came out of Yang Qiuxing's mouth, and the ministers and officials, who were still a little flustered, seemed to have found their backbone at this time, and began to settle down and carry out their own work.

After talking to Wang Xiaoxiao on the phone, Yang Qiuxing contacted Tu Xiaohua, the director of the Northeast Intelligence Bureau, this time the matter came too suddenly, there was no too deep ethnic * contradiction problem in the Northeast before, although there was not much harmony between the various ethnic groups, but it did not reach the point of fighting each other. Now there is such a collapsed situation, if it is not the manipulation behind the backs of people with intentions, it is estimated that no one can believe it.

"Xiaohua, what's going on with Gong Changling?"

In the Northeast, there are things that Premier Yang Qiuxing doesn't know, but there are no things that Tu Xiaohua doesn't know. The only person in the Northeast Autonomous Region who can control more information than Tu Xiaohua is only one person, and that is Wang Yi!

"Prime Minister, I was about to report this to you, and I have sent someone to the Four Seasons Palace." Tu Xiaohua's voice has always lacked ups and downs, as one of the most mysterious officials in the Northeast region, he has been engaged in intelligence collection and sorting all year round, which has long made Tu Xiaohua develop a temperament that is not alarmed. Except for Wang Yi, who looked like a living person in front of him, the rest of the people rarely saw an extra expression on his face. An ugly face, similar to playing cards, cold and hard.

"I have already consulted my husband about the Gongchangling riot, and he said that you should let it go, there is no problem between the Manchus and Hans. He made you remember a sentence, not to be friends to be equal respect, but to be friends because of equal respect, this is our principle in dealing with national issues. ”

Yang Qiuxing thought about it and understood what Wang Yi meant.

"I understand, I will deal with the riots in accordance with the law. Don't wronged a good person, don't let a bad person go. ”

At the same time as the Four Seasons Palace was discussing countermeasures to deal with the riots, in an old mansion called Banxinyuan in Liaoyang, the curtains of the dim west wing room were closed, and three people were sitting on the fire kang, with a small square table in the middle. The first one was in his sixties, with old folds and age spots of various sizes, skinny as wood, and sat there looking weak, as if he might return to the West at any time. However, his eyes are shallow and restrained, far from being as old as they appear to be. Sitting next to him were two young men, one of whom had a mustache, was not tall, and looked ordinary. The other person was burly and looked powerful, but there were only two dark circles under his eyes, plus a pale complexion, which obviously showed some signs of overindulgence.

"The Four Seasons Palace's response is faster than we expected, the insurance team has been dispatched, we should stop." The old man was the first to speak, his voice a little hoarse.

The mustache didn't speak, his brow furrowed slightly, and he seemed to be deep in thought. However, the young man who looked overly drunk was a little scared, and said nervously: "I agree, let's withdraw quickly, in case there is any handle left for the Northeast......"

The old man's expression was grim, but the mustache didn't react much.

"How?"

At this time, the mustache finally opened his mouth, but his accent was a little peculiar, and he said very cautiously: "What does the prince mean?" ”

"It's not convenient to get in touch with the capital, so there are no specific instructions yet. However, before coming to the Northeast, the prince said that the old man could make his own decisions, so I think it's the right time to stop now. ”

The mustache nodded, and sighed slightly: "What Elder Wang said is true, but the opportunity is rare, if you can take this opportunity to kill the officials in the Northeast, there will inevitably be huge contradictions in the Northeast because of the Han and Manchu issues." In this way, we can also seek a longer period of development for our two countries. ”

The young man didn't seem to care much about any of this, he was more concerned about his own safety.

"Mr. Fukushima's thoughts are understandable, but in the current situation of Gongchangling, although our side has an advantage, it is only because of the convenience of being in the shadows, but once this advantage is lost, the thunderous means in the northeast, not to mention you and me, even our Qing Kingdom and your government will not dare to bear it." The young man tried his best to persuade, "Besides, this time the riot appeared, the Manchu and Han contradictions were really provoked, and with the first time, there will be a second time, several times superimposed, and then we don't have to do it ourselves, and the Northeast will be in chaos first." Why do you have to fight and get it all done? ”

I have to say that what the young man said is very reasonable. It's much easier to make hatred than to dissolve!

Wang Lao stroked his beard and nodded, obviously agreeing with the young man's opinion.

"Mr. Fukushima, I also agree with Lord Liu."

The three of them fell silent for a while, and the west wing became very quiet.

Yang Qiuxing had already received a letter from the Northeast Intelligence Bureau, and he was watching, while the officials and advisers were on the opposite side of the office, and except for a confidential secretary standing behind him and pointing out from time to time, no one dared to go over and take a look, because those were the top secrets of the autonomous regional government.

Now there are two yamen in the northeast, and the officials have a headache when they listen to it, and one is the Anti-Corruption Bureau, but anyone who receives an appointment letter basically has no good end. The second is the Northeast Intelligence Bureau, which is even more off-limits. The ICAC is a corruption problem, and the Northeast Intelligence Bureau is generally treasonous.

After reading the information, Yang Qiuxing was very silent, looking at the officials and advisers sitting there to discuss the situation, and a cold light flashed in his eyes from time to time.

The three people mentioned in the information are all directly related to the Gongchangling riot this time.

The first is Prince Gong, who is known as the sixth devil, but the person in charge of acting in the northeast is a rather low-key staff member under him, Wang Yuanshan. He is over 60 years old this year, originally from Mukden, but his ancestors have moved to live in Tianjin, but he has not cut off contact with Guanwai.

The second is a Japanese named Yasumasa Fukushima. In 1883, he began to infiltrate the Northeast to spy on military and civilian intelligence, and then in the name of investigation, he spent a year carefully investigating Zhangjiakou, Shanhaiguan, Tianjin and other places, and compiled it into a book "Neighboring Soldiers' Strategy". After the Nagasaki incident, he mainly collected intelligence on the Tohoku and the North Sea. Together with another spy, Jotaro Yamamoto, disguised as a Qing court merchant group, he teamed up to run the soybean trade between Yingkou and Shanghai, taking the opportunity to gather intelligence.

The third person is Li Hongzhang's nephew Liu Fen, who has now defected to the Japanese and constantly sold the information of Beiyang to the Japanese Ishikawa Wuyi in exchange for money. This man is greedy for money and lustful, and he is very fascinated by Japanese brothels.

Now that Prince Gong has colluded with the Japanese, it is not known whether Cixi was involved. The main purpose of their alliance was to provoke internal chaos in the Northeast Autonomous Region, thereby prolonging the development of the Qing Dynasty and Japan. For the two, the increasingly powerful Northeast Autonomous Region seems to be overwhelming like Mount Tai, which really puts tremendous pressure on both sides. Of course, the two sides also have their own calculations. The Japanese side hoped to betray the Qing Dynasty, and once the Northeast and the Qing Dynasty went to war because of this matter, then Japan could enjoy the benefits of the fishermen. And the Qing court may have the same idea, taking the opportunity to prolong their hunger.

Seeing Yang Qiuxing looking at them, the officials and advisers all sat up straight. Yang Qiuxing didn't speak, but with a faint smile on his face, after looking at everyone, he said for a long time: "You have served in my Northeast Autonomous Region for many years, and each of you is diligent, hardworking, and resentful, and you are really a public servant of our Northeast people. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Everyone present thought it was strange, but some of them chuckled in their hearts and began to disappear.

Yang Qiuxing smiled and waved his hand, and said: "You're welcome, since the time of Mr., there has been a tradition in my Northeast, that is, rewards and punishments are clear, meritorious rewards, respect of all people, punishment by the country, and thousands of cuts!" The last four words, Yang Qiuxing gritted his teeth and squeezed them out.
