Chapter 47 They dare to ask for the moon
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs' surprise troops from the sky attacked Huo in the morning, and no casualties were killed in the hostages in the middle and foreign countries. Sun Meizhu, the leader of the bandit, was shot dead on the spot. More than 2,000 bandits surrendered! The Lincheng robbery was resolved in an instant!"
One morning, the outside sound echoed on the streets of Beijing. After hearing the newspaper boy's outside sound, people rushed to buy newspapers. What's going on with the "Shocks from the Sky"? Everyone hopes to get answers from the newspapers.
At this time, some political observers with extremely sensitive sense of smell felt a sudden change in the political situation from another seemingly inconspicuous newspaper in the newspaper - "The Congress passed a resolution requiring all localities to suppress bandits as soon as possible, and refused to cooperate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to suppress bandits. The province will not be eliminated within June. The general should be dismissed and the troops will be transferred to his place for reorganization!"
Even compared to the former, in the eyes of many people, this tofu chunk-sized article is more eye-catching. The former is just an "innovative tactical raid", while the latter directly tells the provinces that if the bandits in their province cannot be eliminated, the generals must be dismissed by "appeasement and protection of the people". Even the army they trust needs to be adapted by the central government, which undoubtedly means that China's political situation will undergo fundamental changes.
It can be said that such a seemingly simple newspaper once again stirred up the political situation in China. This is the first time that the central government has restrained its face and revealed the power of the central government to various provinces. Unexpectedly, such a resolution was not signed and issued by the President, but by the Prime Minister of the State Council.
At this time, what is surprising is that the Prime Minister did not publish a message to the outside world after the "Lincheng Carjacking Case" was resolved, but went to Henan to inspect the "Henan Tongyuan Factory Renovation of Henan Quanye Factory". It seemed that he did not care about the congressional resolution caused in China.
Changsha, Hunan, Hunan General's Mansion. In the third year of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai ordered the abolition of the governors of various provinces and renamed "General". This Hunan Governor's Yamen built during the Qing Dynasty. At this time, the general's mansion was no longer the hustle and bustle of the previous few days, but there was a bit of solemnity. When some passers-by passed by the Hunan General's Mansion, they would always look at the guards outside the gate of the General's Mansion.
The reason is very simple. Since the "Bandit Suppression Order" was issued, almost half of China has focused its attention on Hunan. For hundreds of years, in western Hunan, whether in prosperous or chaotic times, it was a province where bandits were rampant. It was a province where bandits were rampant in half a year. Even in some mountainous areas in western Hunan, bandits even replaced gentry to dominate the countryside. They arranged for mountain people to plant food to opium, and they collected taxes, and they... In short, it was definitely a place where bandits were rampant.
If there was no "bandit suppression order" that was threatened by the generals of a province, perhaps no one would take the bandit suppression order seriously, but now it is different. Congress issued this order, but after the "Lincheng Carjacking Case", it was a threat. More importantly, no one would believe that the generals of each province would resist this order, because the reason is very simple.
"...The solution of this "Lincheng Carjacking Case" depends on the State Council's determination to resolve the bandits in various places. The Internal Affairs Force is also formed by the elite Jiangsu Army. Its aircraft can airborne the troops in any province, anywhere, or any place where bandits are rampant. It can airborne elite commandos, launch surprise attacks, and eliminate bandits!"
For this so-called "the aircraft can airborne the troops in any province, anywhere, or any place where bandits are rampant." In the eyes of some people, it is not a "bandits" and they can directly change the "bandits" into "rejecting the central government's orders", such as "refuse the internal affairs force to dispatch, suppressing bandits for half a year but not eliminating bandits. After the central government dismisses its post, it will then fight against the generals of a certain province in the central government." What will it look like then? A general of a certain province sent his troops to a certain place to fight the central government, and the commandos of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were airborne to the provincial capital and directly attacked the general's mansion to end the battle...
This threat can be said to be something that the generals of each province have never considered and have never faced, but now they have to consider it and have to face it, because each of them asks that it is impossible to eliminate the bandits in their province. If it is put over, someone will probably send a power "This is a life-threatening situation, and the savings will not be accepted."
But now all provinces have hesitated, watching, waiting, waiting, and seeing what others do. For a moment, the provinces across the country are surging undercurrents. On the one hand, when the provinces are waiting for others to emerge, they are rushing privately and contacting each other, seeking self-protection.
In this kind of waiting, people naturally turned their attention to Hunan Province, a province with bandits rampant in half the province, not to mention half a year, I am afraid that even three years will not be able to eliminate bandits. Waiting for General Tang to deal with the central government and then make a decision, Hunan has become a place of concern for the whole of China.
The development of the situation made Hunan's attitude suddenly stand out. Perhaps the provincial army is not strong, but because everyone knows that Hunan cannot eliminate bandits, its attitude became the key. For a time, representatives from all sides gathered in Changsha to lobby and win over Hunan General Tang Xiangming. All kinds of things were their own, and they were shaking their lips and tongues, and they were frequently active. Both sides sang and came on stage, which was very lively! The center of their lobbying was very simple - Hunan should raise the banner of righteousness and decisively reject the central government's life. At that time, all provinces would take it as a helping.
At this time, the one at the center of the storm was the Hunan Governor who led the naval uprising after the Wuchang Uprising and was elected as the interim commander of the uprising fleet by representatives of each ship. Although Yuan Shikai was later jealous of him, he seized his military power and became the chief minister of the Ministry of Education. During the "Ministry Rebellion", he made great contributions to Yuan Shikai and thus took over as the governor of Hunan.
In the first seat of the back hall of the Hunan General's Mansion, there was a young man in general's uniform. He stretched his chin with one hand and pressed the other hand. The military cap and the open book were placed side by side. The man had a handsome face, elegant manner, and a straight sitting posture. The military cap and open book were placed side by side. The man had a handsome face, elegant manner, and a straight sitting posture. Anyone who saw him would have a two-word word risen in his heart - a Confucian general.
Looking at his tightly pursed lips and raised chin, he rarely stroked his ears with his fingers. If an expert from the security department came here, he would probably get this typical test + defense from his movements. This young general who is only thirty years old is Hunan General Tang Xingming.
At this time, Tang Xiangming once again fell into silence after sending a guest from Fujian. How did he, the "Hunan General" come from? He knew better than anyone else that during the "Minister-Er Rebellion", he led four shallow water ships including Chu You to Yuezhou, Hunan. He threatened Hunan Governor Tan Yankai to cancel the **. Half a month later, he went to Changsha to meet with Tan Yankai and forced him to resign. Vice President Li Yuanhong strongly recommended that he take over as the Hunan to control Hunan. In order to control Hunan, he strongly recommended that he take over the position.
The governor of the South. Subsequently, Yuan Shikai issued an order to appoint him as the governor of Hunan and the chief of civil affairs. He took charge of the military and political power in Hunan. However, Hunan is located in a key street in the north and south, and Yuan Shikai was not very relieved of him. First, he sent his confidant Shen Jinjian to Hunan to restrain his power; then he appointed his favorite general Cao Kun as the commander of the police in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and ordered him to lead the Third Division to enter Yuezhou to closely monitor his actions; then appointed Wang Hu as the chief of civil affairs in Hunan to divide his regime.
Later, in order to gain Yuan Shikai's trust, he began to strictly investigate the revolutionary party in Hunan. There were only more than 20,000 famous people who could be investigated. On the other hand, in order to consolidate his power, he secretly expanded his army and strengthened his strength in Hunan, and used his fellow villagers in Hubei to govern Hunan. However, the current Prime Minister praised his political achievements in Hunan:
"General Tang ruled in Hunan and ruled with strict punishments and ruled the law. He washed away the violent spirit of Zhang Zhang before, and calmed down and consolidated it. Order was rectified and calmed down and calmed down. When he was in charge of the army, Zhang Shuxun was the police chief, and there was no relic in Changsha. He did not pick up any remains, and the chickens and dogs were not surprised. The government was decorated in various provinces. Those who asked about Wuhan were not as good as Hunan's 11."...
But when he came to Hunan that time, he never took Li Zicheng and Tang Xiangming lightly, especially after Hunan Guoshe Party members criticized him many times in the provincial parliament, they were even more vigilant about him. Now, Li Zicheng issued such a "bandit suppression order", which made him angry.
But even if it is so easy, he will not be so confused as to "raise troops to attack". No one will be so stupid as to use the excuse of "the order to suppress bandits is contrary to public opinion" to attack, and suppress bandits is contrary to public opinion? Suppressing bandits is simply the will of the public opinion. If anyone uses the excuse of "provoking the central government", it is estimated that by then, if the whole country is powered on, he will be drowned.
"How is it? Is there any news from the President?"
Mu Shi shook his head, and the faces of the Mu Shi were all kinds of charms. Tang Xiangming said "Oh", and then he held the Buddha ball in his hand and stopped talking. He had been a Buddhist since his youth and always loved to pick up Buddhist beads.
After pondering for a long time, he turned his attention to Che Zhen. The brigade commander of the 39th Brigade of the CSKA was also the one who was conquered after he served as the Hunan General. He is now his confidant. In the past year, with the help of the Soviet Union during the "Jiaoao Incident", he expanded the 39th Brigade many times, purchased 10,000 new rifles, more than 10,000 machine guns, more than 100 various mortars, and ninety mountain cannons, expanding the 39th Brigade into a powerful mixed brigade. To Che Zhen's words, with the current strength of the 39th Brigade, at least he can defeat the two divisions in field battles and save troops.
Indeed, to a certain extent, Che Zhen's words were not self-proclaimed. Not to mention those provincial troops with fewer mechanical and military personnel, even the Central Army with excellent mechanical and military missiles may not be able to take advantage of the 39th Brigade, which had excellent mechanical and military missiles in the field. However, the 39th Brigade eliminated the bandits in the province within half a year without waiting for Che Zhen to answer, he himself felt that it was impossible.
Xiangxi has never been a land that is obedient for thousands of years. From the fact that the "San Miao" tribe was driven away by the Chinese tribe, the "Miao people" migrated from the plains, lakes and lakes to avoid oppression and bullying by strong people, in order to interpret their own sorrow and joy in life in a closed and isolated world. However, the emperors who have been in court in the past have never stopped conquering this land, hoping to make the "barbarians" here always obey the central government. From the place names everywhere in Xiangxi, they can know their wishes and expectations, "Yongshun" - forever obedience, "Huaihua" - forever obedience, "Baojing" - forever protecting appeasement, so in this area with heavy mountains, ridges, beaches and rivers, there have always been historical dramas of conquest and anti-conquest, assimilation and anti-assimilation.
From the Eastern Han Dynasty, his general Ma Yuan went south to Wuling, and eventually died of poisoning and lust. He was able to bury his bones in the green mountains as a witness to his oath of never changing his words. Even in the Qing Dynasty, Fu Kang'an, the illegitimate son of Qianlong, also died in Xiangxi. Xiangxi had to fight for his survival. In the long-term battle, the mountain people there had developed a brave and powerful folk custom since ancient times.
In that kind of place, the 39th Brigade was probably not finished fighting before the bandits were suppressed. This is why, although he ruled Hunan with strict law, he mostly turned a blind eye to the bandits in western Hunan. However, the central government only gave him half a year! Frowning tightly, the words of lobbyists from various provinces appeared in Tang Xiangming's mind again.
"...If Hunan raises the Yiqian Banner for the first time, the southwestern provinces will surely attract help. At that time, the whole country will have an impact. In order to ease the situation, the President will definitely remove Li Lianyun's post!"
But...is things really that simple?
Why was there no news from the President? Because of the bandit suppression, he sent several seals of telegrams to the President, and also sent secret telegrams to his brother Tang Hualong, and then sent secret telegrams to Vice President Li Yuanhong. Looking for solutions, the call from his brother and vice president to him asked him to "wait and see". But the President...
At this time, the tightly pursed lips were still tightly pursed, but his face was still calm. But the Buddhist beads on his hand were much faster...
"Tang Zhuxin..."
After a long sigh in Jurentang's small living room, Yuan Shikai walked up, but at this time his face was filled with a smile, as if he had encountered something ridiculous.
"Uncle, this Li Zicheng is messing around, why don't you even ask? If so?"
Looking at his father's expression, Yuan Keding complained in confusion. But when Yuan Shikai turned his face to face him, he couldn't speak.
"What if?"
Seeing that his son stopped talking, Yuan Shikai asked with a smile.
"If this bandit suppression order really causes some trouble, how can we deal with it when the time comes!"
"Oh? Don't you think that if the State Council causes trouble, will the Presidential Office be more beneficial to the Presidential Office?"
After looking at his son curiously, Yuan Shikai felt happy.
Yuan Ke was shocked at the beginning. At first, he thought so and even cheered for Li Zicheng's mess. But later, Yang Du told him that this matter should be viewed from other aspects, and even specifically told him that the words "the president's profit" must not be expressed, especially in front of the president.
"Uncle, if the State Council really caused trouble across the country because of the bandit suppression order, even if you come forward to clean up the mess, the authority of the central government would have been damaged at that time. If the authority that the central government finally built was damaged, it would be impossible to recover without three or five years. Even if it was restored, if some people were thinking about it, I wonder what other chaos would be caused!"
Yuan Keding directly reposted what Yang Du told him, and he noticed that when he said this, his father's eyes were full of appreciation.
"Yeah, not bad,"
Nodding and complimenting, Yuan Shikai said again.
"Kiding, you can figure this section out, it's much better than before. Your head is halfway through!"
With a sigh, Yuan Shikai said again.
"You know, why don't I express my opinion on your father?"
"this……"
Yuan Keding was stunned. He discussed this matter with Yang Du before the incident. To be precise, it was during the Congress discussion, but his father's matter was after it. Yang Du did not discuss it in depth at that time.
"So, you only open halfway here!"
Pointing to his head, Yuan Shikai, who was in a good mood, explained.
"If you don't express your opinion, it means you will clean up the mess in the future, but you didn't see that this matter is very beneficial to your father, well, it is also very beneficial to the country!"
After that, Yuan Shikai still emphasized the word "country".
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to send his troops to suppress the bandits. How could I not know about your father? Li Zhiyuan has the intention to use the internal affairs force to expand his strength!"
"Dad, didn't you say that the Ministry of Internal Affairs' troops are easily restricted, but the tax police cannot limit them?"
Yuan Keding asked tentatively, "Dad's limit is not blocking others?"
"The internal affairs force is transferred. As long as there is a constitution, it can limit his troops. However, the tax police are permanently located in the same place. There are so many provinces across the country, and taxation investigations are conducted in various places. If he really wants to build a tax police, I dare not say that he can hold at least hundreds of thousands of tax police in his hand for a year, but the internal affairs force can have 40,000 or 50,000, which is a big deal."
After taking a look at the eldest son, Yuan Shikai continued to explain.
"Li Zicheng wants to expand his internal affairs force, so I will let him go. If he wants to expand his internal affairs force, he will talk about the bandit suppression. Once he uses bandit suppression, he will inevitably offend the provinces..."
"Uncle, what you mean is that when he offends all provinces, we will move each province to destroy Li..."
"Damn it!"
With a cold shout, Yuan Shikai seemed to be a little annoyed by his eldest son's foolish head.
"Li Zicheng has a strange intention, is there no strange intention in that place?"
After asking back, Yuan Shikai sank his voice.
"Whether suppressing bandits or not suppressing them is extremely beneficial to the central government. Local governments fight to the death to suppress them. This is called killing people with a knife. The local government is incompetent. If it has not been suppressed for half a year, the general is dismissed and the army is reorganized. What is this called?"
Only after hearing this explanation did Yuan Keding understand what his father meant and hurriedly continued.
"Look for it and kill it!"
Nodding, Yuan Shikai took a cigar proudly, and then looked at Yuan Keding and asked.
"Kiding, there is a saying that if the tiger is not worried, the wolf will swallow the elephant! You said, at this time, your father and I should stand on that side?"
"Dad, if...if so, the local people attacked him, then..."
His eyes were swiftly closed, and Yuan Shikai's face showed a look of being arrogant without anger.
"They dare!"
Chapter completed!
