"The villain cultivates and inherits the family, and never dares to do anything evil. Although the family has a small amount of land, it has been accumulated acre by acre, and there is absolutely no plunder. Moreover, in times of famine, the villain will cook porridge.
Factory, relief for victims, usually building bridges and roads, just doing good deeds. But Wu Peifu actually had people take away all the land from the villain’s house and give it to those mud-legged people. How can the villain’s family live like this!
"
While he was talking, this fellow god fell to the ground and cried bitterly. Dozens of other squires also did the same. They fell to the ground together and kept kowtowing.
"Sir, it's up to you, Qiu, to return the family property inherited from the villain era to us. At that time, you will be our Grand Master Qingtian and our reborn parents!"
Looking at the people who were crying, Yan Xishan frowned and hurriedly reached out to help: "Everyone, please stand up first. It is the Republic of China now. We are not lords, but public servants. We are here to do things for everyone. You
Don't do this."
After finally helping these people up, the old squire at the head also said excitedly: "Sir, we are not in vain. Many of us are councilors in cities and counties, but we were bullied by Wu Peifu. We really have no way out. You
As long as we can make the decision for us, these old brothers will all obey our orders, and they will be rewarded generously."
As he was talking, there was suddenly another rush of footsteps from the other side of the street. Hundreds of people were trotting over in a noisy manner. The leaders were several young and strong farmers, all carrying shovels, hoes, and hands.
There was also a wooden stick inside, and he looked menacing, as if he was going to fight.
When Fu Zuoyi saw this, he waved his hand hurriedly. He asked his soldiers to rush over and form a human wall to block them all in case something happened. When Chu Mingyuan saw this, he felt unhappy. He showed up on the first day he came here.
The confrontation between the two goods shows the seriousness of the problem.
"Ask them to send a few representatives over, and if they have any issues, they can explain it in person."
Not long after, several farmers arrived in front of them. The leader also knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Sir, the villain Li Suo has worked hard for most of his life and has saved nothing. Chief Wu is here. Give us a share."
With the land, we have a way to survive. We people have already discussed it. If we dare to take the land back, we will rebel, fight to Beijing, and let Chief Wu sit in the Golden Palace."
When the fellow god heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Sir, listen to this. Is this what people say? They are a group of unruly people. You can't be polite to them. I swung the big knife and chopped off a few of them.
My head, the world will be peaceful!"
As soon as the peasants heard this, they jumped up and rushed over with clenched fists to beat this fellow village god. The peasants behind also started making noises, and the scene was noisy.
Fu Zuoyi suddenly took out his gun and fired three shots in the air. After hearing the gunshots, these people calmed down. Chu Mingyuan looked at the two groups and then at Yan Xishan. Lao Xier was stunned.
His face was helpless: "Counsellor Chu, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Chu Mingyuan nodded, and then said loudly to them: "Everyone, this time we came to Henan, we were entrusted by the vice president to reform the land system. First of all, I want to express my position. In principle, the land allocated
It belongs to everyone and the government will not take it back."
As soon as they heard this, the farmers cheered for joy. No matter whether the Zhili warlords were expropriating Henan or doing evil, they at least divided the land and gave most of the farmers a foundation. I heard that after Wu Peifu's defeat,
There was commotion in Henan and other places.
Some landlords relied on the support of the bureaucracy to seize back the land. The common people became red-eyed and formed militia groups everywhere, ready to fight against the landlords. In general, the land of the Central Plains looked like a storm was about to come.
Condition.
As soon as Chu Mingyuan said these words, the farmers took reassurance and finally became happy. Some of them simply lay down on the ground again and kept kowtowing. But when the squires heard this, they stopped doing anything and shouted out their grievances one by one.
Chu Mingyuan waved his hand again: "Everyone, don't worry, the government will not ignore your interests. We came to Henan to find a way to kill two birds with one stone, so you can rest assured!"
Yan Xishan also kept giving words of advice and finally calmed down the two groups. When the two of them arrived in the hall and sat down, they all felt a little weak in their knees. Yan Laoxi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I'm afraid things won't be simple this time.
Well, the Vice President has handed us a hot potato."
Chu Mingyuan also smiled slightly: "Yan Zhangguang, the more difficult things are to handle, the more capable you are. I have heard people say that the vice president appreciates Chief Yan's ability to govern the local area. If he can do it well this time, I'm afraid
Here’s your chance to skyrocket.”
When Yan Xishan heard this, he sat up and asked hurriedly: "Is this true?"
"Mr. Minyuan said it himself, and he also asked me to learn from you in the telegram!"
Yan Xishan initially thought that Zhang Tinglan arranged for him to be sent to Henan purely because of his own mistakes and allowed the rebels to threaten the capital. Zhang Tinglan deliberately handed over such an unfortunate thing to himself. Now that he looks at it, perhaps Zhang Tinglan really wants to reuse him, Yan Laoxi
Suddenly I started to make plans again.
It seems that he may not have the chance to develop in the military, but if he can show his talent in domestic affairs, he can be considered an achievement. Thinking of this, Yan Xishan suddenly became energetic.
"Counsellor Chu, sitting here is not an option. We will go down immediately to investigate and find out the situation clearly. You will be in charge of the farmers, and I will be in charge of the gentry. We will find out the local situation as quickly as possible."
Chu Mingyuan also smiled and nodded: "That's exactly what I meant!"
…
"Vice President, what a happy event. The War Ignorance Bureau has now made a great contribution!" Liu Shaoqing, the newly promoted intelligence chief, sent a telegram to Zhang Tinglan.
After Zhang Tinglan took a second look, he was immediately overjoyed and showed a satisfied smile. It turned out that what he was reporting this time was the situation of the Japanese Navy.
Since the last war, Zhang Tinglan had painstakingly laid out the Mackensen modification plan to deceive the Japanese. He spent a lot of effort on this. But now he finally saw the results.
Japan was concerned about the threat of the Mackensen and tried its best to fight for it at the Washington Conference. As a result, the United States and Britain, in order to check and balance China, agreed that Japan could build two corresponding battlecruisers, but the prerequisite was that the modification of the Mackensen in China must be completed.
.
After all, China only has one large warship, and it will take a long time to achieve combat effectiveness. Therefore, it is enough to wait until the modification of the Chinese warship is completed and the Japanese can start construction. However, the Japanese are eager for quick success, so they secretly started construction.
The two battlecruisers corresponding to the Mackensen are the Akagi and Tiancheng. In the original history, the Akagi was to be transformed into an aircraft carrier. As a result, the Akagi was given the opportunity to retain its status as a battlecruiser.
appear in the world.
The two Kaga-class battleships, Kaga and Tosa, were able to be converted into aircraft carriers. However, after the Great Kanto Earthquake that just occurred, the Tiancheng's keel was damaged and has been scrapped. Based on reliable intelligence, the Japanese quickly launched ten
Plan for the No. 3 battle cruiser to replace the Tiancheng.
This battle cruiser No. 13 was just a piece of paper in history and was not put into practice. As a result, Japan was forced to give up due to the restrictions of the Washington Treaty.
However, in this time and space, the Japanese had to turn this blueprint into reality. The Great Kanto Earthquake disrupted Japan's social order, and intelligence personnel were able to figure out the situation in Japan.
"Vice President, according to intelligence, this battle cruiser No. 13 is named Waka. It is equipped with a 460mm main gun, has a full load displacement of more than 50,000 tons, and has a speed of 30 knots. It is truly a big guy.
.”
When Zhang Tinglan heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face. Battlecruisers were even more expensive than battleships. With Japan's perverted character, this battlecruiser was so huge that it was definitely worth a sky-high price.
However, no matter how fast and powerful the battlecruiser is, it cannot match the value of an aircraft carrier. After the modification of the Mackensen is completed, the Japanese will definitely look very good.
Moreover, due to the Washington Treaty, Japan's remaining aircraft carrier tonnage has been reduced, which means that the Japanese can only build one of the historical Hiryu and Soryu. In this way, the Japanese Navy has two more aircraft carriers.
A battlecruiser that was not of much value but cost astonishingly expensive, but one large aircraft carrier was missing.
As soon as it comes in and out, the combat effectiveness of the combined fleet is weakened a lot, which is definitely a huge boon for China.
"Okay, great. The Japanese want to burn money. Let's add some more ingredients to them. The holiday dollar can be detonated and the Japanese will be miserable for a while."
Liu Shaoqing nodded hurriedly and went down to take care of things...
Henan, Luoyang.
Chu Mingyuan has been running around in the countryside for five or six days. These days, he has been visiting villages and living with the people. He has a deep understanding of their situation. Since the Republic of China, wars have been frequent in the Central Plains.
There was a riot between wolves, followed by a melee between warlords, and the substitutions were like a revolving door.
With the arrival of a new governor, a lot of tax revenue was increased. In addition, droughts and floods continued, and landowners exploited the land too much. The people were miserable, and many people had to sell their sons and daughters.
There were even some disaster-stricken places where people ate tree bark and Guanyin soil, and ended up being swollen to death. There were also tragedies where people exchanged their children for food. But when these tragedies occurred, the government disappeared, and the result was that when taxes were collected,
The people are deeply resentful.
However, Chu Mingyuan's easy-going and people-friendly style was still recognized by the people, and everyone was gradually willing to speak out what was on their mind.
After dinner, Chu Mingyuan sat on the threshing floor with a group of old farmers. Listening to everyone introducing their hardships, an old farmer stretched out his hand. There were only three fingers on the dark palm. He smiled bitterly.
Then he said: "These two fingers were chopped off because they owed money to the landlord. The fingers fell to the ground and bounced a few times..."
While he was talking, suddenly a half-year-old child ran over: "Oh no, people from the Tang family are calling!" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
