@@@@@@

The rain huā is one after another, and the city is full of mourning.

When the convoy drove towards Xuzhou, it was difficult to see the green scene of farmland in other areas outside the window, although many fields had completed spring ploughing, but the mottled and lacked the beautiful scene of greenery. Song Ziqing in the car frowned. China is a big agricultural country, but it is not an agricultural rich country, and there will definitely be a food shortage in northern Jiangsu if one season is delayed, so he sighed and said: "This price is not small." ”

Yang Du, who was in the same car, didn't care too much and said: "Except for northern Jiangsu, the spring plowing in the south of the Yangtze River has been completed and has not been affected too much. The spring ploughing in the northeast is later than here, Cai Jimin has ordered all the vehicles and military horses to help the new immigrants farm, and the hundreds of thousands of pack horses that have been captured from Russia have also been sent back one after another. Judging from the current rate of migration, the annual grain output in the northeast will increase by at least 20 percent compared with last year. Therefore, as long as we ensure that the southwest, northeast, and two lakes can still survive. He stretched out when he said this, who of the officials in Jiangsu in the past two days can close their eyes steadily? Even people like him stayed awake all night, and continued in a hoarse voice: "This is also something that can't be helped, Jiangsu and Anhui are too big a problem." More than 50 million people and 80 million mu of land (this figure is taken from the statistics of the Republic of China in 1935, which is different from the 130 million mu in later generations, because many dry lands lack technical means and cannot be used), but half of the land is in the hands of millions of landlords! Among them, there are about 1,000 households that occupy more than 10,000 households, not to mention the concentration of ideas, they are also conservative and stubborn, and if they are not ruthless, sooner or later they will drag down the reform of the entire Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. ”

"If it is not broken, it will not stand, but the cost of this break is a bit big." Song Ziqing whispered. He asked, "Is Xu Guqing here?" ”

"It was here last night. He is the governor of Jiangsu Province or the founding father, how can he not be active in the event of an accident on his territory, I think there will be a good show later. Yang Du sneered, he didn't have a good impression of the founding father, who had studied the way of the emperor, but just as he wanted to continue talking, the car in Chapter 463 of the Road to the Great Power (6) had already slowly stopped.

Yang Qiu pushed open the door with a stern expression, and the dress in military uniforms made the officials who greeted him feel cold all over his body, and the emblems of the National Socialist Party and the Youth Association on his chest were even more eye-catching. The Xu Guqing in Song Ziqing's mouth is the former governor of Jiangsu, Xu Shaojiao. After the reunification of the country, he was one of the few provincial governors of the Kuomintang who retained his rights, mainly because he saw that Yang Qiu's unification of the country was unstoppable, so he simply handed over all the military power in Jiangsu. Only by picking himself and the army cleanly can he keep his seat.

It's just that this position is going to be difficult to keep today! Seeing Yang Qiu's navy blue military uniform, the cold air in Xu Shaojiao's heart rose up, and killing people on the street was originally a big case. The people who killed were in the limelight and were remembered by the 40,000,000 peasants, and the most important thing was the backbone of the national society. But if he wanted to hide, it was too late now, so he had to go up: "Shao Frame has seen the vice president." ”

Yang Qiu glanced at him coldly, nodded slightly, and then led everyone to continue walking towards the Hubu Mountain Opera Horse Stage. Hundreds of thousands of peasants who came from all over the world surrounded this historical stage where Xiang Yu watched the horse parade, and the inner layer was full of party members of the National Society and the Youth Association who came to the funeral. On the road separated by the soldiers, Yang Qiu's steps along the stone steps were heavy and slow. Countless pairs of eyes slowly followed his figure. The rain wet the hat and shoulders and ran down the lines of the fibers.

Soon he saw Cheng Cheng, who was covered with the national flag and wearing the YMCA emblem on his chest, lying quietly in the coffin. Although every public student needs his signature before he can go abroad, in fact, if it weren't for Dong Yongwei's report, he wouldn't even know that there was such a follower of his own in the YMCA. He was short. The high bulge of the cheekbones destroys the overall appearance, it is such a young man who will definitely not be found in the pile of people, but it is this young man who should have drowned in the rolling torrent that gave himself a chance, a chance to open the door of a great country!

Yang Qiu stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his cheek, but found that his hand was trembling violently. Only he knew that the young man could avoid danger at all. But because he needed an excuse, he buried him with his own hands. If it weren't for his own encouragement, even the most fearless people would not dare to offend an entire class, a powerful class that even they would not dare to act easily! Even in the era when the legal system is sound in later generations, this will not end well. But he believed in himself, so he firmly organized peasant associations, and used his voice in the court to legally liberate the majority of the people living at the bottom of the country, and he believed in himself while he took advantage of him: "He is not the first, let alone the last, how many such young people will be pushed into all kinds of battlefields by themselves with various slogans and actions in the future, and finally pay the price of their lives?"

On the stage, there was no sound, only the rustling of the rain. Kuang Xukun is Yang Qiu's secretary, not as talented as his predecessors, nor as good as them, but he is a very careful secretary. But when he saw Lei fiercely holding up an umbrella to block the wind and rain for Yang Qiu, he immediately grabbed him and pointed at Yang Qiu, who was bent over. Yang Qiu bent down, swapped the emblems of the YMCA between himself and Cheng Cheng, and then solemnly pinned it to his chest, and when he turned back, his eyes had returned to clearness.

He took two steps back, then solemnly raised his right arm.

"Salute!"

In Lei Meng's loud voice, first the soldiers saluted Cheng Cheng's body collectively, and then the officials bowed three times together. And when the lid of the coffin was closed, the crowd could no longer control the pain in their hearts, and thousands of mourners began to surge forward. Everyone's eyes also focused on Yang Qiu again, and the eyes with anger clearly asked him to say the words "blood debt and blood repayment".

Song Ziqing was a little worried, and Xu Shaojiao's scalp was even more numb, they were all afraid that Yang Qiu would not be able to control himself and cause his gaffe to be uncontrollable! Yang Qiu walked past them, climbed a rock and raised his arms. The crowd fell silent instantly, and he clenched his fists but had to make a decision against his will again: "I know what you are waiting for!" I will never let them go unpunished! Because this is not a crime against Comrade Cheng Cheng personally, this is a crime against 40,000,000 people. It's a crime against the country! However, we cannot use lynching, because it is now the Republic of China, and Comrade Cheng Cheng just does not want to rely on lynching to solve the problem, so he took up the legal weapon to fight for the 40,000,000 compatriots to get rid of the shackles. We must stick to his path, we must learn from Comrade Cheng Cheng, find out those who are involved in this matter and are implicated in it, and let them accept the punishment of the law! Accept the judgment of 40,000,000 compatriots! ”

"Avenge Teacher Cheng Cheng! Hand over the murderer and stop plowing and reaping. ”

I don't know who took the lead in shouting. Everyone gathered around the hedgehog waved their arms and shouted. When the coffin moved down the mountain, it provoked the loudest sound, and countless pairs of arms stretched out. They just want to give this hero who fought for their freedom one last time in this way. This cheer was followed by a group of military police who appeared out of nowhere. This time it wasn't a wooden stick or shield, it was all real steel guns and sabers. Under the leadership of the officers, these soldiers of the national guard who spoke accents from other provinces were like migrating ant colonies, and they were stationed in various counties and cities in northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui as quickly as possible. Behind the national and civil guards is the police, who dares to have other ideas among the policemen who can get by on weekdays? No matter how stupid people are, they know that if they don't contribute this time, they will probably be unlucky! Of course, there are also many people who report the news, but when they enter the door with their front feet, they are arrested by the military police of the national guard force who did not come out of nowhere.

The officials, who originally thought that they should have nothing to do with them, suddenly discovered that soldiers began to appear in front of government agencies large and small, even in front of their homes! "Look! What is this?! Are we prisoners? During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, they did not dare to treat officials and parliamentarians like this, and there was no royal law! This is a republic, not an acre and a third of his family's land! In the building of the Jiangsu Chamber of Commerce next to the Xuzhou Municipal Government, a voice shouted excitedly. Tang Juedun turned his head to look. He recognized the man he was clamoring for, Zhang Xingshu, a former salt merchant in Yangzhou who joined the Republican Party in Xinhai. Later, because Yang Qiu took the salt industry under the state monopoly, he brought money to hoard land in northern Jiangsu. In just a few years, he has purchased thousands of acres of fertile land, and now he is running for the Republican Congress.

"This is the Republic of China of 40,000 people, not a family! Didn't he let the mud legs rise up in protest? Didn't you let the mud legs huddle up against us? Don't you want to get all the tenants and long-term workers in Jiangsu to go to the Northeast? All right! Let's also go to protest, go to Nanjing! The land is no longer planted, so it is simply barren, and he has the ability to get all the people in Jiangsu to go to the northeast. Otherwise, watch those mud-legged people starve to death! Zhang Xingshu was still shouting, and he seemed to have a great deal of courage to pull the emperor off the horse. The people around him were also instigated by him, and many people shouted that they would fight to the end, and the cultivated land would be completely abandoned and the peasants would not be allowed to plant.

Tang Juedun shook his head, these people thought Yang Qiu was too simple, if they really joined forces, I am afraid that they could only make the family kill more happily! So I stopped listening to these unnutritious words and walked into the next room. Several Republican bigwigs in the room looked worried, especially Liang Qichao pulled Wang Zhaoming of the Kuomintang and muttered as if he was thinking about something, he saw Tang Jueton come in and immediately asked: "Jueton, how is the situation outside?" ”

Although Tang Jueton is a member of Congress, he is half a head shorter than Liang Qichao in terms of prestige and connections, and the two have a master-apprentice relationship, so he bowed first before saying: "Teacher, don't be impatient." Governor Xu is discussing with the vice president in the city hall, and I am afraid that there will be a result in a while. ”

"What else is this discussed? He is obviously trying to force us Jiangsu to death! Liang Qichao stomped his feet. After the Sino-Japanese War, he joined the Republican Party because he realized that he could not do anything about the constitution, and soon became a veteran of the Republican Party due to his prestige and many protégés. It's just that this patriarch is completely unfamiliar with party politics, and hates it: "Nanjing is the capital, but not Jiangsu!" The autonomy of the provinces is a good thing, and it is not right for him Yang Qiu to meddle in the localities, and it is too much to make such a big move now! He, the vice president, was originally in charge of the army, and the internal affairs should be the "president" standing up and speaking. It's good now, Tang Shaoyi was put aside by him, and he still treated the president as an ornament, this matter must not be left like this! The state has national laws and family rules, and if everyone does things more and more, what kind of system will it become. ”

"Yang Qiu has really gone too far in this matter, and there are a lot of gentry in their country, so it is really not advisable to do so." Wang Zhaoming said: "It's not a good thing for a family to be dominant after all, if there is no more Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, I'm afraid." ”

Tang Jueton looked at the recent KMT celebrity and was dissatisfied with the provocation in his sentence. There are a large number of gentry in the National Society, but in recent years, the National Society has already turned to industry and commerce by taking advantage of the European War and Yang Qiu's administration. Get rid of the primary stage of subsistence on the land. Moreover, the Anmin Action in the Southwest and the Land Reform in the Central Plains have solved the land problems in the two places where the national community is the most popular. As for the northeast, there is no land problem in the first place, not to mention that it is now under military control, and Shandong and Hebei are also beaten up by others. Therefore, this sentence is obviously intended to instigate the Republican Party to take the lead, and use this matter to hit the limelight of the Guoshe and Yang Qiu. But Liang Qichao didn't hear the meaning, and said again and again: "Well said!" Since the Republic of China is a republic, it must have the appearance of a republic, and one person cannot have the final say in everything. If that's the case, why do you need an election? What else do you want Congress to do?! So we must protect this Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, if we can't keep it, we won't be able to contain the national society, do we have to continue to go back and make an emperor? Zhaoming. You see if the two of us can unite, I and Tan Yanmin also have some friendship with the National Society, so let's just impeach him together! Even if impeachment fails, this situation of imminent dictatorship must be broken. ”

If it weren't for Liang Qichao and himself, he would be half a teacher and half a friend. Tang Jueton even wanted to pour water on his head to make him sober. Although Yang Qiu is the vice president, he is also the chairman of the National Reform and Development Commission, and the national development and local reform must be carried out by him! Even if these are gone, he is still the party leader of the National Society, Li Yuanhong and Tang Shaoyi are just executive committee members, if he is forced to ascend to the throne of the president tomorrow, who can stop him? Besides, the autonomy of the provinces is good, but autonomy is not independence, and the decree of the central government is still an iron law! Even if the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui are together. They can't fight against the central government!

Seeing that Tang Jue didn't speak, Liang Qichao was a little angry in his heart, no matter how he said it, he was also a disciple of the Thatched Hall, so he said with a straight face: "If you don't do it, forget it, I'll go to Nanjing to find Zhang Jizhi by myself." He can't let Yang Qiu make the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui into a miasma. He pushed the door open, but before he could go out, someone rushed in: "Mr. Liang, it's not good!" Just now, Nanjing sent a telegram, General Manager Tang Shaoyi adjusted the personnel of the minister, and the president also signed it. ”

Personnel adjustments? Wang Zhaoming's eyelids jumped violently, no wonder none of the ministers Zhang Jizhi came to northern Jiangsu. Tang Shaoyi, the general manager of internal affairs, also ignored it. Hurriedly asked: "How to adjust?" ”

The person swallowed his saliva and said: "Mr. Wu Tingfang and Mr. Cai Yuanpei's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Water Resources have been removed, and Lu Zhengxiang has been replaced as Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Liao Zhongkai, Director of the Beijing Finance Bureau, has been appointed Minister of Water Resources. He glanced at Tang Jueton, and this look made the latter suddenly very bad, and his head was suddenly confused before he could ask. Because the man said, "Our Minister Zhang has also been replaced, and Brother Jue Dun will take over as Minister of Agriculture. By the way, the hanging Minister of Justice also came out, it was Yang Qiu's Deng Yulin, I heard that he had retired from the army last month. Hu Weide, who returned from France, was reappointed as deputy general manager. ”

I'm the Minister of Agriculture?! Tang Juedun only felt a tingling on his scalp! It's okay for you to get rid of Zhang Jizhi, it's better to change your cronies. But suddenly let yourself go, and it is also the moment of life and death of the Republican Party, doesn't this clearly want to create a split within the Republican Party! Looking at the eyes of everyone around him, Tang Juedun only felt dizzy and swollen and didn't know what to do.

Not to mention him, even Wang Zhaoming and Liang Qichao were chilled. Because the members of the National Assembly are to be elected, but the ministers are all appointed by the president, Tang Shaoyi can easily cooperate with Yang Qiu to take out these chess pieces! When the whole country is staring at Jiangsu and their own people, the three most important veterans of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were pushed to the end by Tang Shaoyi, who still doesn't understand the meaning? This slap is too loud and spicy! Wang Zhaoming had a calm face, and since he promised Huang Keqiang to come to the KMT, he felt pressured for the first time. Compared with the National Society, the disadvantages of the Kuomintang have not only not narrowed but expanded in the past few years, because the people in Yang Qiu's bag are stronger than Yuan Shikai back then. Don't say anything about Tang Shaoyi, who took out the three ministers, and let Deng Yulin go to the Ministry of Justice! Hu Weide got up again, and directly helped Liao Zhongkai and Tang Juedun up to split the Kuomintang and the Republican Party, hey! Kegong, I'm sure I'm going to live up to your high expectations.

After slapping the Kuomintang and the Republican Party that were about to move, Yang Qiu took out a thick stack of materials and put it in front of Xu Shaozhen: "Governor Xu, I didn't want to care about and shouldn't care about your Jiangsu affairs, but you can see for yourself!" Is this the explanation you gave to the Central Committee for four years in power?! In the past four years, the land has not only not spread, but has become more and more concentrated, and there are more than a dozen miscellaneous taxes collected by the local government! In the past two years, the national economy in Europe has been improving, and you Jiangsu has only grown by less than half of every year! What are you going to do in Jiangsu? Do you want to give the central government a dismount! ”

Xu Shaozhen Khan came out, but Yang Qiu didn't give him any chance to argue and speak, and threw a stack of criminal records in front of him: "The president has already said, whoever does what he does is responsible, you can name these people according to the list!" All criminal records are well documented, and the Ministry of Justice, the Police, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and the Department of Taxation will cooperate with you. Don't be an official all your life, but in the end you will be poked in the backbone by tens of millions of people! ”

Xu Shaozhen's face turned blue and red for a while when he said this, and only after Yang Qiu walked out did he pick up the criminal information and look through it, but when he saw the rows of eye-catching names on it, his heart almost jumped out, how many people can be left in the Jiangsu officialdom and gentry according to the name above?!
