Chapter 509: Xinbang
,
The old man's decision to slaughter Qianjun...... If you don't Tu Mengben, you naturally can't oppose it, and Yan Zhengqing is extremely dissatisfied with Tu Qianjun's name. This time it can be regarded as tasting his wish and giving the army a word.
This word sounds good to say, at least it is much better than the Qianjun of scholars in the village who didn't even get the Xiucai exam!
Zhang Shizhao also chose an auspicious day on the spot, and helped the army to give the crown salute three days later. And Yan Zhengqing, in order to ensure a good life, specially invited Ge Yuetan, the biggest god stick in Fengtian City.
So the original discussion of four people became five people to discuss together, although Ge Yuetan is an old god stick, he has a good reputation! And the calligraphy and painting skills under his hands are quite skilled, and he is no worse than a few in terms of knowledge.
So the four old men immediately accepted the old god stick to join their discussion, and Ge Yuetan said that Zhang Shizhao's day was good! So after the agreement was made, the five of them notified Tu Sancannon, who was training the troops in Outer Mongolia.
Knowing the news, the three guns raised their hands in favor at that time! This guy almost raised his feet in approval!
When Wang Yongjiang gave his brother Zhang Zuolin the word Yuting, this guy was so envious that he was dying of envy, but because he didn't know many words at all, he was embarrassed to go to Tang Erhu and them to do something together.
My son went to school with the university of the former Qing Dynasty, and he also went abroad to study! Naturally, it is necessary to start a word, and in the early years, Tu Sanpao also specifically looked for Yan Zhengqing for this matter. After all, those who have words in this era are all literate and knowledgeable people!
When he learned that he had to be twenty years old before he could write, Tu Sanpao could only wait. Now that the words are finally written, it was given by Zhang Shizhao, Yan Zhengqing and other university scholars, and Tu Sanpao naturally agrees with it!
Generally speaking, the Shiguan ceremony is divided into two major ceremonies, the first is the pre-ceremony, and the second is the main ceremony. The pre-ceremony is divided into: the day, the guest, the appointment, the precept, and the baptism.
The second is the ceremonial rite, the ceremonial procedure on the day of the crowning. The first one is okay, but the display of ritual utensils, sacrifices and corresponding clothing begins early in the morning. And the next greeters will be embarrassed to enter the temple, Tu Sanpao doesn't have any family temple in Fengtian City!
Think about it. It was the soldiers themselves who asked to worship the martyrs' cemetery of the Wehrmacht as a family temple.
"Those soldiers lying in it are my brothers and sisters! My coming-of-age ceremony should also let them know......" Junzi's words made the four old men stunned for a moment, and then nodded silently.
The remaining three crowns, the bin li crown, the crown see the mother, and the bin gives the table words...... Wait, it's easy! As soon as the old men put it together, they all came out! Anyway, the army just needs to spare time and fiddle with this group of old men.
Knowing that Tu Qianjun was about to have his own coming-of-age ceremony, Roosevelt, who had just disembarked, was also extremely interested! He led the members of the U.S. business delegation who were ready to cooperate with Tu Qianjun to participate in the crown ceremony.
The crown ceremony is complicated to say, but it is actually extremely simple. It was Tu Qianjun who was idle. Bow down when it's time to prostrate and prostrate when it's time to prostrate.
I'm done with memorizing a bunch of conversation etiquette and learning some procedures...... Wait a minute. However, Tu Qianjun's crown ceremony caused a sensation throughout the Republic of China, and some people wrote articles in newspapers scolding him for the restoration of feudalism. Others praised him for reviving national traditions.
On the one hand, the people of the three eastern provinces are extremely curious to join in the fun, and on the other hand, they are also interested in their somewhat unfamiliar crown ceremony. This triggered the recovery of the entire three eastern provinces and the crown ceremony, which many people did not expect.
However, the army was miserable, and he would rather have the last battlefield than perform such a crown salute again.
It's torture! A bunch of etiquette, not to mention the order, but also all kinds of dragging, thanksgiving...... In short, a ritual can definitely make many people close to collapse.
Look at the intricate etiquette. Roosevelt and the chairman of the British Board of Trade, Walter Roosevelt, who came to attend the ceremony. Ranciman was in awe! In fact, only a long-standing and powerful civilization can give birth to extremely complex rituals.
In the Western world, etiquette is a synonym for expectations that influence social behavior in accordance with contemporary norms of convention between societies, social values, or groups.
Etiquette matters are usually not deliberately prescribed and recorded. But the performance of personal etiquette is often recorded. The rules of etiquette include most aspects of social interaction at all levels of social interaction and are not valid.
At present, the West believes that the rules of etiquette reflect the social and ethical rules of the country and nation to which they belong, and they also reflect the current state of the society.
Limited to the issue of cultural exchange, Britain and the United States are now rarely exposed to purely Chinese etiquette. And an extremely traditional crown ceremony like Tu Qianjun is even more unheard of!
After watching the whole set of various salutes, Edgar has been recording the entire ritual process. Snow suddenly felt a wave of awe for this country! Even in Europe, there has never been such a cumbersome and planned rite of passage. And almost every paragraph has meaning and explanation.
This made Edgar. Snow and Harrett. Aban was an eye-opener, and the two of them recorded the entire ritual process and sent it to their respective newspapers in its entirety!
When the thank-you banquet was over, Tu Qianjun almost took off his Hanfu in prostration. Entering the private room where Roosevelt and the others were -- today's crown ceremony was held in the Manchuria State Guest House, the best hotel in Mukden City.
When Roosevelt saw Tu Qianjun, he changed into a military uniform and walked in. He stood up with a smile and said to Tu Qianjun: "Oh ~ Tu! Well...... No, I should probably learn the Chinese habit of calling you 'Brother Mengben'! Brother Meng Ben, congratulations on today's crown! ”
Tu Qianjun smiled bitterly and picked up a wine glass and touched it with Roosevelt, and then drank all the wine in the cup. Then he sat down and said, "Frank, don't make fun of me!" God bears witness. I'm about to collapse now......"
"Haha......" Roosevelt couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, he just learned that he had to fast before this ceremony. Recalling that Tu Qianjun had been hungry all day and had to perform so many rituals, Roosevelt suddenly felt some sympathy for the poor commander-in-chief.
And some understand why the current Chinese are not very willing to raise such a ceremony, after all, it is too torturous! Hungry for a day, having to memorize all kinds of salutes, etiquette questions and answers is enough to make people collapse.
"Frank. Tell me honestly, what good news did you bring me this time?! Tu Qianjun shook his head and said to Roosevelt. Roosevelt, on the other hand, blinked mischievously, smiled at Tu Qianjun and said, "Brother Meng Ben, then guess what benefits I have brought you?!" ”
Tu Qianjun pursed his lips, put a few pieces of fish meat into his mouth with chopsticks, chewed violently, and said vaguely to Roosevelt: "Frank, what do you want me to say!" Congress must have passed a loan. But I was asked to expand the search and the number of oil companies. After all, my oil well here is producing oil, so it's no wonder that other people don't blush! ”
Roosevelt smiled when he heard this, and said to Junzi: "You know everything, then why are you asking me for?!" ”
"I'm going to have to check with you!" The soldier swallowed the fish in his mouth hard, and said to Roosevelt: "Let me tell you, the two Queen Elizabeth-class battleships that the British drove over this time were actually sold to me!" ”
Roosevelt couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Junzi say this! His face changed, but he immediately calmed down and said with a wry smile to Junzi: "You are really capable, you actually let that group of John Bull sell the battleship to you!" ”
In just a few words, Tu Qianjun had already swept away most of the dishes on the table! He wiped his mouth with a tissue. He snorted at Roosevelt.
"It's just profit, and the British mean to let me give them some mining rights and oil. I asked for 20% of the mining rights, so I agreed......" As he spoke, the soldier looked at Roosevelt with a wide eye.
Roosevelt was on fire for a while, and the British were really broken! This dares to sell anything, since people can sell two ships, that is to say, to help sell two more ships or build two ships, there is no pressure at all!
And Tu Qianjun's meaning is also obvious, the British gave me two battleships for real money. You Americans don't say anything, how can I cooperate with you?! Everyone should benefit each other!
In fact, Tu Qianjun took this issue into account when he purchased warships with the United States in the early days.
Any invasion or purchase is carried out step by step. If you want to do it in one step, then it will definitely cause disgust and anger! But if it's a step-by-step process, things won't be like this. This involves the psychological problem of the person.
For example, if a person has a million, and you hold on to his deadly handle, and suddenly you want to extort him for a million. Then there is no doubt that he will fight with you!
But what if you just ask for 100,000?! He will be hesitant. 90% of people will eventually choose to trade with you and avoid risk.
Rather than taking risks, more people choose stability. As long as you don't push him to a dead end, he will never fight with you. And step by step to improve his bottom line, eventually he will find himself sinking deeper and deeper.
But for the country, if you do this to someone, he will definitely wake up. Of course, there will also be the type of third brother who has been scolded again and again by the carrot hanging by Lao Maozi on the aircraft carrier, but has to pinch his nose to admit it.
And what Tu Qianjun did was to constantly use the bottom line of the United States to oppress the bottom line of Britain. If Tu Qianjun had negotiated with the Americans or the British to buy battleships at the beginning, he would undoubtedly have been refused.
In fact, when he first arrived in Britain, Tu Qianjun's request to buy battleships was refused. The reason why it will be agreed later. A large part of the reason is the oil that has already been discovered in Manchuria! And their bottom line is built on the bottom line of the United States!
The Americans are selling light cruisers, and there is nothing wrong with me selling battleships! Although your Omaha class has a displacement of less than 10,000 tons, the main gun is no worse than my Queen Elizabeth class!
Moreover, you have sold the light cruiser, and I will not buy it if I sell it! The British comforted themselves like this, and then hesitated for the black and shiny oil and sold the Queen Elizabeth class to Tu Qianjun.
"Brother Meng Ben. I have to say that you have a beautiful hand! Roosevelt was not a stupid person, and after thinking about it, he understood Tu Qianjun's thoughts. He had to sigh and whisper to Tu Qianjun: "To be honest, it's not easy. No matter how much you give, Congress will be hard to convince the businessmen......"
Battleships of more than 30,000 tons were bought, and people naturally would not look at any ordinary warships anymore. Other words. Tu Qianjun means that he wants the most advanced warship in the United States - aircraft carriers!
Tu Qianjun smiled and whispered to Roosevelt, "Please come with me!" With that, Tu Qianjun turned around and walked out, while Roosevelt paused and walked out with Junzi.
The two of them boarded the car of the provincial government of the three eastern provinces and came to the headquarters of the Wehrmacht in a puff of smoke. Entering Junzi's office, Chandinand brought two cups of hot tea. The military son pulled the wall open and whispered to Roosevelt.
"Frank, look! This is the territory we now control. Roosevelt took a closer look. The map shows Inner and Outer Mongolia and the three eastern provinces all the way to the Yalu River.
And Tu Qianjun took out a black pen and drew an arc on it to draw Xinjiang at once! Whispered to Roosevelt, "I'm going to take this place into my hands......"
Roosevelt was startled, and said in a deep voice to Tu Qianjun: "Tu, tell me directly, are you going to directly launch a unified war?!" If the war starts, the consequences will be unimaginable......"
Most of the interests of the United States are now in Manchuria, especially in many industries such as petroleum, smelting, and even R&D! If Tu Qianjun was involved in a great war, then the money consumed in it was absolutely terrifying!
And it is not in the interests of the Americans, because they want Manchuria to be peaceful. At least for the time being, there should be no fighting. In fact, Junzi himself thinks so. If you go to war at will, you will always consume your own national defense forces.
This is not good for the upcoming war of resistance, the Japanese are sharpening their knives! Tu Qianjun will not be stupid enough to cut off his arm, what he needs to do now is also stability! However, it seems that Xinjiang is not stable!
Roosevelt's words made Tu Qianjun smile slightly, he put down his pen and whispered to Roosevelt: "I won't be so stupid, now that the Japanese have just changed their military to be prime minister, I won't give them a chance to invade us......"
As he spoke, Tu Qianjun paused and said in a deep voice to Roosevelt: "Actually, I found some problems there. Someone is trying to use political assassination to get to power! ”
Tu Qianjun's words made Roosevelt sigh. At this time, it seems that political assassination is very popular in China! For example, Wang Zhaoming, the current Wang Zhaoming in Nanjing, was the first to be assassinated.
Chen Qimei, the uncle of the two Chens and the sworn brother of Jiang Zhongzheng, is also a figure who is keen on assassination. In the end, he was assassinated as well. At the end of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Song Jiaoren, who was sent by the national government, was also assassinated on the way to the election results!
It seems that in this era, political assassination has become a fashion. Everyone is very assassinated, and it is often heard that so-and-so warlord was assassinated, and then his subordinates or someone else came to power again. In short, a mess.
"Instead of messing with them, I'll clean it up myself!" Tu Qianjun said in a deep voice to Roosevelt: "At least for now, I won't think about dominating the whole country. But the unification of the country is inevitable, and I will not do anything to them unless they have some problems of their own. ”
Roosevelt was silent when he heard this, and in fact, in his opinion, a united China was also in the interests of the United States. After all, the rising East resists the giant red bear, which is what the United States and the rest of the capitalist countries want to see.
"The most important thing. We found traces of red activities there......" Tu Qianjun said solemnly to Roosevelt: "The recent incident in southern Xinjiang, the people I sent told me that there are red people mixed in it......"
Roosevelt's face changed, and he was silent for a while before he said in a deep voice to Tu Qianjun: "I need to ask for instructions, after all, this matter is too big......"
Tu Qianjun nodded when he heard this, indicating his understanding! Then he whispered to Roosevelt, "Frank." In fact, I have already consulted with Yang Zengxin, the current governor of Xinjiang, and he is very supportive of my views. ”
In the original history, Yang Zengxin had already suffered an assassination at this time! But in this life, Yang Zengxin is still alive now! And he is alive and well, people from the Ministry of the Interior infiltrated Xinjiang to bring back news about the internal undercurrent in Xinjiang to Tu Qianjun!
Tu Qianjun then remembered. In history, Yang Zengxin, who had been in charge of Xinjiang for 17 years in the early years of the Republic of China, successively served as the governor of Xinjiang, the governor of Xinjiang's military affairs, the Xinjiang army, the aftermath of Xinjiang's military affairs, and the chairman of Xinjiang Province!
And he also sent a secret telegram to Yang Zengxin about the undercurrent in his territory!
Yang Zengxin was shocked, he immediately launched an investigation, only to find that the seemingly calm entire Xinjiang had actually stood on the crater! Because Yang Zengxin reported to the Nanjing State Government in the list of Xinjiang Provincial Government Departments and Bureaus, he only removed his Director of Military Affairs and Foreign Affairs Director Fan Yaonan alone, which led to the secret hatred of Fan Yaonan and his family!
Fan Yaonan also knew that Yang Zengxin was rectifying himself, so he and Zhang Chunxi planned to assassinate Yang Zengxin and carry out the so-called "national revolution" in Xinjiang. I don't know if I don't check, and I'm shocked when I check it! Jin Shuren, director of the Government Affairs Department of the Xinjiang Provincial Public Office, seems to be also involved!
Even Chen Zhong, chief of staff of Xinjiang Province, Bai Shouzhi, commander of Dihua City Defense, Li Xiaotian, principal of the aviation school, Tao Mingyue, magistrate of Dihua County, and others ...... And so on, these people have a little bit to do with this matter! Yang Zengxin was suddenly frightened!
He knew that he was on the cusp of the storm, and almost all the officials under him were looking forward to his death! So he urgently turned to the liaison sent by Tu Qianjun to Xinjiang.
