Chapter 293: Wang Family Trivia (2)
"Poof" The lazy man looked at Wang Zhenpeng and Li Dachao's stupid appearance and suddenly laughed: "Don't be nervous, I don't have a gun and I don't have anyone with me." You're here to save Jingxue! ”
Wang Zhenpeng was overjoyed, nodded and said, "How dare you ask Brother Tai?" ”
"What kind of brother stage? I'm your eldest brother, hehe."
"Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yuan Jingxue walked out from behind the man with a blushing face, looking at Wang Zhenpeng affectionately with big watery eyes, and then unconsciously lowered her head.
It turned out that this man was none other than Yuan Jingxue's second brother, the same brother, and Yuan Kewen, who was known as the leader of the Green Gang.
"Hehe, I noticed it when you came to find out the news yesterday, that is, you met me, and you are planted here today. Let's go, I'll be back with Uncle in a while. ”
Wang Zhenpeng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't thank you for your great kindness, Second Brother Jingxue, if you have time to come to the south, you must thank you again." ”
Yuan Kewen said: "If the family doesn't say two words, those who don't thank you will be exempted...... Hey, hey, why are you going over the wall again, there aren't many people in the house, let's go out through the back door, what's wrong! ”
Wang Zhenpeng pulled Yuan Jingxue away with an embarrassed face, Yuan Kewen coughed and said, "Just leave?" ”
Wang Zhenpeng froze in place and asked with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean, second brother?" ”
Yuan Kewen patted his head: "Why does my sister take a fancy to you as a stupid boy?" ”
"Brother......" Yuan Jingxue said coquettishly, "yes, yes, I won't recruit you, little ancestor." Who's that? It's you, you kidnapped the eldest daughter of someone else's family and didn't leave a number? That's not kind, isn't it? Yuan Kewen said with a smile.
Wang Zhenpeng sighed and said: "Wang Zhenpeng in Baoqing Mansion, Hunan!" ”
Yuan Kewen is also well-informed: "Baoqing Mansion? Who are you who dare to ask Wang Zhenyu in the south? ”
Wang Zhenpeng arched his hand and said: "It is the third brother under the bottom." ”
After that, Wang Zhenpeng pulled Yuan Jingxue away, Yuan Jingxue turned to Yuan Kewen and said, "Brother, take care of our mother!" ”
"Don't worry, sister" After Yuan Kewen saw that the three of them went out, he suddenly came back to his senses: "Hey, this kid is really a ...... enemy."
Life is really full of accidents, in order to avoid possible arrests, the three of them chose to go out from Chaoyangmen, Wang Zhenpeng said with emotion: "One night three years ago, I was still a trainee officer in the Gongwei Army, and there was a convoy to go out of the city that night, and I didn't allow it." As a result, the third brother came and told me that he only succeeded because he opened a door at a critical moment......"
"zhanzhu, check" Wang Zhenpeng found out that Chaoyang Gate had actually set up a jam, and about twenty soldiers were here to check every passerby, could it be that the Yuan family found out that Jingxue had run away so quickly. If it is the opposite, I am not afraid, because there are few people who have seen Jingxue, and Jingxue is wearing men's clothes at the moment, and the three of them obediently leaned over to be checked.
"Report to the platoon commander, no weapons found" The soldier simply searched the horses and did not strictly search the body, it seemed that nothing major happened, but there was a problem with this platoon leader.
The platoon commander looked like he was twenty-four or five years old, tall and thin, and after he took a closer look at Wang Zhenpeng, he asked the soldiers to ask Wang Zhenpeng to go to the sentry post to rest. Yuan Jingxue suddenly nervously grabbed Wang Zhenpeng's arm, Wang Zhenpeng patted her hand gently, signaling that it was okay to let go.
Walking to the sentry post, the officer handed over a cigarette: "Senior, what, it looks like you want to be a deserter?" ”
Wang Zhenpeng was shocked, looked at it carefully and asked, "Are you?" ”
The officer smiled and said, "Zhang Zhizhong, the junior brother of the third phase of the Baoding Infantry Section." Don't you know it? ”
"Zhang Wenbai, Anhui Yankee, how can you not know each other, I haven't seen you for two years, why did you graduate?" Wang Zhenpeng immediately remembered that there was such a junior.
"I just graduated, I've been assigned to the first division, it's boring, and I don't want to do it, senior, what are you?" Zhang Zhizhong asked.
Wang Zhenpeng thought about it, but decided to trust this junior: "I really quit and am ready to go back to my hometown Hunan." ”
Zhang Zhizhong nodded: "When I was in the military academy, I heard the senior mention that your third brother is Wang Zhenyu, or take the junior brother and me together, I don't want to stay in Beijing." ”
Wang Zhenpeng nodded: "Yes, but I have something urgent and must leave immediately, you see?" ”
Zhang Zhizhong said with a smile: "What does it matter, everything else is outside the body, let's go together." ”
Then Zhang Zhizhong turned around and said: "You guys stand well, I'll come back later, this is my fellow countryman, I'll send it." ”
"Good class, platoon leader, Huzi got a dog last night, and there is a dog meat hot pot to eat at noon." A big-headed soldier replied happily.
The group of four people left Beijing in this way......
Half a month later, the Yuan family released a message in the Shuntian Times, announcing that the Yuan family and Yuan Jingxue had severed their relationship......
Many years later, General Zhang Zhizhong, who had retired from a high position and perfectly, truthfully recorded in his personal memoirs this escape that determined the trajectory of his life.
"The long river of history is so full of accidents, and one of the thoughts of the ghost that day actually affected my life. Looking back on this life, it was undoubtedly the wisest choice, and at that moment, I was undoubtedly the bravest person on Shijie, and I was proud of myself. Although this is just an accident, it seems to carry a little inevitability, and perhaps our history is composed of this necessity and accident. ”
Just when Wang Zhenpeng and his family fled to Tianjin and were about to go south by sea, on June 10, in Nanjing, a discussion was underway on the issue of **, and the fuse that triggered this discussion was the "Proposal on Prohibiting Citizens from Illegally Possessing Firearms" submitted by Lieutenant General Yang Wangui, then member of the Military Commission and commander of the Military Police Command, to the third session of the First National Assembly on behalf of the Military Commission.
This motion was voted on on the afternoon of the third day of the seven-day session of the seven-day session as the sixth discussion bill of the third session of the fifth year of the First National Assembly, and under the chairmanship of Speaker Zhang Taiyan, all 361 national deputies, 307 actually present, passed the bill with 221 votes in favor, 71 votes against, and 15 abstentions.
Then it sparked a big discussion about the ** issue.
The first to attack is still Shanghai's "Declaration", which has always been against Wang Zhenyu: "...... Since Yu claims to be a government of the people, how can he say that the right of the people to self-defense is forbidden, and why does the United States not ban guns and keep the country in chaos? China does not ban firearms, and the world is in chaos? Since it is a ** system, why only ** live alone in the central government, how can this be said by the national government? Is there a difference between the entity of being so cloaked in ** and doing ** and Yuan Shikai's ** imperial system? I would like to ask the Nationalist Government, where will it go tomorrow......"
Subsequently, "Zhejiang Minbao", "Shanghai Daily", and "Jiangsu Guangming Daily" wrote articles to follow up, and for a time criticism of the national government was everywhere.
Led by "Yuanjiang Daily", "Youth Army Daily", "National Socialist Party Daily", as well as "Nanjing Daily" and "Wuhan Daily" naturally spared no effort to counterattack this: "...... The so-called ** does not lie in its superficial form, but in whether it protects the ** and freedom of the people. As in the case of England, the king is still alive and the people are without guns. However, the people can elect members of parliament and remove the government, and you can regard it as the imperial ......government of the Yuan thief."
Surprisingly, the Nanjing Nationalist Government is as silent as death at the moment, and it is obvious that behind the whole discussion there is Sun Wen or Hu Hanmin adding fuel to the fire, and the essence of this is not necessarily to engage in a multi-party system, but more likely to create an atmosphere of public opinion and achieve a certain goal.
Wang Zhenyu thought about it, but he didn't think that he could shake the gun under his hand with a few pens. Because the army's loyalty to itself is by no means simply relying on faith, there is also the relationship of interests in it, looking at the whole country, with the silver dollar as the unit of denomination, there are a few families where ordinary soldiers get eight yuan a month, and the entire northern Beiyang is the highest, six yuan per month, but the actual hand is only two yuan and four corners. It's easy to defeat yourself, what does the national government pay these soldiers? Taxation?
The current Wang Zhenyu Group is actually composed of the China Development Corporation, the three major banks, and the Youth Army, and they are either cleaned up together, or they will be involved in the whole body.
Sure enough, the controversy only lasted less than two weeks before it calmed down, and Hu Hanmin and others suddenly found that Wang Zhenyu, a young man who was only 25 years old, was much more confident than they thought. Hu Hanmin even began to faintly worry about whether his repeated challenge to this young man would lead to serious consequences......
Obviously, this worry is superfluous, Wang Zhenyu does hate Hu Hanmin very much now, but it doesn't mean that he has the time and ideas to clean up Hu Hanmin. It's easy to get rid of a housekeeper in the Government Council, but who will replace it? Tossing and turning, zuihou is not tossing himself yet. Therefore, Wang Zhenyu still has this bit of political bearing and tolerance, and some people will jump like clowns. Thinking of this, Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but sigh, maybe the most suitable person to cooperate with him should be Song Jiaoren, not Sun Wen, at least Song Jiaoren's habit is to bring political struggles into the framework of the law and parliament, rather than conspiracies.
Forget it, don't think about it, after the entire light industry development was contracted out in Shanghai through bidding, Wang Zhenyu's prestige among the merchant class reached its peak. At least in the eyes of these businessmen, Wang Zhenyu is a good comrade, and it is rare to meet him in hundreds of years!
However, Wang Zhenyu has to worry more about one of the problems is how to protect the development of the national light industry, and the first problem is the tariff problem, which is indeed withdrawn by the customs at present, but the tariff is only 5 percent, and this tariff is really low and frightens people to death. According to Wang Zhenyu's idea, at least 20 percent is needed to ensure that domestic products are competitive in the market. Of course, this problem is not urgent now, but when the European war is over, this problem will be highlighted, so it is necessary to solve this sensitive problem while foreigners are not sensitive. But who is going to talk about it?
