    At any formal cocktail party, guests gather in small groups and have their own small circles. If no one is invited, they will not get involved among others.  The same is true in the banquet hall of the Presidential Palace at this moment. Even though Yang Qiu and Li Yuanhong were standing side by side, chatting and laughing, acting approachable, the people gathered around them were all members of the current cabinet. Even Yang Du didn't know his identity and could only prick up his ears.  He gathered in a group with Song Ziqing and others and chatted with each other. He would not easily step into that circle.

    He knows it very well.  No matter how the outside world spreads rumors that Li Yuanhong and Tang Shaoyi are puppets, if these two people really don't stand in the way, Yang Qiu himself may not be able to handle so many complicated domestic and foreign affairs.  Even if they are capable and competent, they are not as free as they are now to slowly polish the country according to their inner thoughts, leaving the headache of maintaining domestic balance in the aftermath to two old foxes.

    Indeed, if you don¡¯t ascend to the position of president, you will always feel that you are still one step away.  However, the system established by the Republic of China was a parliamentary system, which means that the real power lies with Congress, and even the presidential office must be controlled by Congress.  At the beginning, Yuan Shikai was so restrained in the face of Congress that he could not implement good things even though he knew they were good things.  Yang Qiu cannot get around it, unless he completely overthrows the state system, but he has other ways to gain an absolute majority as the chairman of the National Democratic Socialist Party, the largest party that dominates the Congress!

    Through young people such as Chen Guofu and Dai Jitao who are becoming more and more skilled in running political parties, he can easily implement his own ideas.  What's more, among the nine executive committee members of the National Socialist Congress, Li Yuanhong, Tang Shaoyi, Tan Yankai, Lu Rongting, etc. are either the core of the government with the right to speak, or they are high-ranking officials, and they have all been defeated by Yang Qiu. In the end, they even lost their hearts. They are absolutely vested.  Benefits!

    But while he is using his interests to connect politics, he has obviously not given up yet and is still using every opportunity to swallow up power.

    The earliest eight southwest provinces were already hardcore members of the National Socialist Party. After three slaps, Li Liejun was sent to guard the border and Sichuan Luolun was assigned to Jiangxi.  After the Northern Expedition, the four provinces of Henan, Hebei, Shaanxi and Shanxi, with a group of young national society members such as Murong Han taking the stage to carry out land reform, not only consolidated the foundation of the national society in the Central Plains, but also took the opportunity to lay the foundation for the national society in the Central Plains after the land reform.  Shakable position.  The ordinary people who obtained land there regard Yang Qiu as the heaven of immortality just like the southwest!

    The four northwest provinces of Gansu, Ningxia, Suiyuan and Chahar sent Shi Xiaolou and Wu Peifu.  The Northwest Army is carrying out land reform and national farm projects there, and is also clearing out the treasonous minority foreigners in the name of suppressing bandits. It is just because of the geographical distance and deliberate blockade that it is obscured!  Who ordered these?  Shi Xiaolou remained silent among the many officers of the National Defense Force, but he became the first military region commander when the 4th Division killed tens of thousands of bandits in one go in Sichuan and settled the place!  To this day, Sichuan people regard the 4th Division as their own soldiers!  The people don't know these things, but none of them know that the Ma family and the rebels over there have been bleeding like rivers.  Otherwise, why during such a tense moment of the Sino-Japanese War, the Northwest Army was not deployed, but an additional reserve division was dispatched, and enough materials and food were mobilized for three divisions to last for a year?

    It can be said that most of the eighteen provinces in Guan Nei have been controlled by this young man. Under this situation, even Li Yuanhong and Tang Shaoyi have to think twice about turning against each other.

    Originally, there was still hope for other factions.  That is the Northeast, where political power is weak.

    The ten provinces of Xing'an, Longjiang, Hejiang, Nenjiang, Songjiang, Liaoyuan, Jilin, Andong, Fengtian, and Rehe (divided into the 10 northeastern provinces of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties during the Republic of China) were originally virgin lands with strong folk customs and simple ideas.  Everyone is watching with eager eyes and salivating, but now a sentence of martial law!  There is no doubt that Commander Yang and the National Society are already there. If other forces want to enter, they must first pass the military level. But after this battle, Yang Qiu, whose position has been extremely stablewill they open their mouths?

    Stop being delusional!

    Power, military power and external pressure.  Directly pocket more than half of the country's wealth!  He finally understood that Yang Qiu was simply holding on to the interests of the country, and then developed another set of things, using war and military power to use the national society to directly suppress the domestic mentality.  When the industrial and commercial methods allow the Northeast to develop, will the wealthy Northeast be willing to run with others?  At that time, he could even completely bypass Congress and do what he wanted!

    With this method Yuan Shikai, Beiyang and the Kuomintang were defeated unjustly!

    So the atmosphere that had just eased in that circle became tense again, but Yang Du didn't care at all about this tension.  Not to mention the 10 northeastern provinces, even Shandong, where Cai Jimin is in charge, can already claim to belong to this young man, and all struggles are in vain.  There were only two things he couldn't figure out. When would Yang Qiu lift the veil and take over the country?  It's the upcoming general election.  Or should we wait?  The second point is what exactly is he going to do!  Most of the territory is in your pocket No one can challenge your power and position!  Could it be that the whole world is not the royal land?

    Thinking of this, Yang Du's eyelids jumped a few times.

    Yang Qiu didn¡¯t seem to notice that he took a few steps closer andYang Du, who left quickly, said with a smile: "In order to preserve the land of Longxing, the Manchus left the area undeveloped. Now that we have established the New Republic of China, we cannot ignore the waste of this land. The fundamental of republican democracy is to let the country and  The people become rich.

    Looking at it now, the demobilized Northeast is vast and sparsely populated, so immigration is necessary.  My idea is to immigrate 10 million people from Henan, Shandong and other Central Plains areas over ten years!  With sufficient labor force, Northeast China can enter into rapid development, but the prerequisite is to ensure absolute security for the next twenty years!

    It¡¯s not easy to do this.  Because banditry is serious in Northeast China.  The strong folk customs have withered, and business has withered. Over the past two decades, wars have continued and the local system has been seriously damaged.  Everyone ignores laws and regulations!  Our ancestors have said that there is no circle without rules, so I think we should first establish central and legal authority there!  In addition, Japan must be filled with hatred after this defeat, and will definitely be well-prepared when they come back next time. They are entrenched in North Korea and are watching to move north. Russia is only temporarily powerless, but the idea of ????wanting to go south is not just a day or two!  Under internal and external pressure, military control was used to draw out the rules and regulations in previous generations, which could not only protect the construction of workers and peasants, but also ensure rapid mobilization in the event of changes. Even if the worst two-line attack occurs, it can persist until the main force in the pass arrives.  "

    Even the ancestors moved out!  Can you be more shameless?

    Several cabinet members from other factions were full of complaints, but they could not get Yang Qiu to change.  He continued: "My idea is that among the current 23 infantry divisions (1-18 Division, 121 Division, 101-104 Division), 3 ** brigades (16, 17, 18 ** Brigades) and 1 Marine Regiment  On the basis of this, the number will be gradually increased to 28 infantry divisions in five years, and the Marine Corps will be expanded into brigades. This will ensure that there are 5 standing infantry divisions in the northwest and northeast. The Central Guard Division is stationed in Nanjing, Beijing, Wuchang and Zhengzhou.  Cooperate with other troops to protect the great development in these five years."

    Including several ** brigades, that is more than 29 infantry divisions, and the regular army alone exceeds 500,000!  This does not include taking orders directly from him.  21 National Guard brigades controlled by Xiao Anguo, Fan Liangshan and others.  Although the Guard is only light infantry, with a two-regiment brigade system between the police and the army, it still has 50,000 to 60,000 armed soldiers!

    Looking at Yang Qiu, who set the tone for the future of the army and the Northeast through his own words, Wu Tingfang and Cai Yuanpei, the two last big figures of the Democratic Party, looked at each other and smiled bitterly in their hearts.  The Northeast and Northwest were gone. When the fighting in the Southwest was the fiercest, the Fifth Division and several later southwest-based infantry divisions were not moved. The Third Division was stationed in Shanghai to shock the Southeast. Shandong was definitely "not peaceful" otherwise.  Transfer Cai Jimin over.

    Where is the Republic here?  It is clearly a dictatorship!  But when I opened my mouth, I heard words such as republic, democracy, and national progress and social prosperity.  Put on a nice coat¡­.  And at this moment, there is no force in the country that can contain him. If anyone dares to stand up and refute and accuse, let alone the military and the ordinary people in the Southwest and Central Plains who have benefited from the national social reform, I am afraid that the millions of students who regard him as their idol  and radical young people will spit on you to death.

    Why!  Now I can only go with the flow and hope that this young man will not go back for his own selfish desires.

    Yang Qiu¡¯s attention began to shift from the war back to the country, and he used post-war control to deal a severe blow to those who still had ideas in the country.  But for others.  The war is still continuing, at least until there is complete peace around the country, their footsteps will never stop.

    On the Beijing-Hankow Line, the galloping American locomotive dragged its long body quickly towards the north. Behind the windows were ordinary faces, either anxious or with their eyes closed, and the carriages were noisy and lively.  Only the ninth car at the end was eerily silent.

    ??For ordinary people and even ordinary officials, the National Security Agency is still unknown.  Only a few people know that this mysterious organization founded by Yang Qiu has become his important eyes and ears, quietly influencing the country's domestic and foreign policies together with the Military Intelligence Bureau affiliated with the General Staff of the National Defense Forces.

    At this time, Colonel Fang Rui, director of the National Security Bureau, was sitting in the carriage.  Unlike other officials who travel with documents piled up on their desks, he only carries two black briefcases with him.  One is carried by himself, and the other is carried by his henchmen. No one knows that there is always a bomb used for destruction hidden in the bag.

    Looking at Wu Rui, who was sitting opposite and had just returned from secretly sending several dead Korean soldiers to Japan, he asked: "What is the current situation in Japan?"

    ¡°There¡¯s a bunch of shit under my butt, but the leads are held by the big guys.¡± Wu Rui lit up his cigarette and described the domestic situation in Japan very vividly in two sentences.  He glanced at the bag-carrying subordinate sitting behind him like a sculpture, blew out a smoke ring and continued: "When I came back, those radicals had not stopped protesting. But judging from the news coming back from Lushun, if it weren't for some friends and a few people in Shan County,  With the pressure of the military bosses, those frustrated soldiers are likely to break out into more violent conflicts. So now there are rumors. In order to prevent accidents, the Army Ministry has prepared to withdraw most of the troops to North Korea to suppress the riots and let them vent their anger on North Korea.  ?After getting angry and dissatisfied, he was taken back to his country.  "

    "Not a bad idea." Fang Rui snorted coldly.

    "The method is good, but North Korea will suffer. Jin Jiu has sent telegrams again and again asking for more support, saying that he cannot stop so many red-eyed Japanese troops."

    North Korea is very important, and Kim Koo¡¯s army is the key to future intervention on the peninsula.  So Fang Rui nodded immediately: "I will contact the commander-in-chief to ask for appropriate support from the Northeast Theater, but you tell him to be prepared to withdraw to the mountainous area."

    "I know that. That fat guy Jin is not stupid. He has probably been planning how to take over Sinuiju from us."

    "What a beautiful idea!" Fang Rui asked with a sneer: "By the way, have you found the matter that asked you to select the person in charge of the Ping An Road buffer zone?"

    Speaking of this matter, Wu Rui expressed his bitterness: "I said, Director, Commander, how are you selecting talents? You are simply selecting disasters! You don't know, my little bastards almost broke their legs just to find such people.  No"

    "Don't talk too much, the funding is not less than yours! Has the candidate been decided?" Fang Rui interrupted this guy bluntly.

    "A man named Zhang Zongchang came from a humble family and worked as a beggar. Later, he learned fluent Russian and colluded with the local gangsters to dominate Vladivostok. He even gave him three points. This man is unscrupulously ruthless in his behavior and dare not say anything else.  , but when it comes to harming peoplehe definitely has a hand."

    "After all the Japanese troops have withdrawn, the commander will go to Lushun for an inspection. You can bring him to see him. If possible, let him go and harm North Korea for a few years to see if he can get the training." Fang Rui finished speaking calmly, and put it in his never-ending bag.  He took out a document: "Kato Takaaki will arrive in Yokohama tomorrow morning. Once this happens, Japan's domestic political situation will definitely be violently shaken. Your task is to pay close attention to the movements of North Korea and the Russian Poor Party."

    ¡°I¡¯ll give you half an hour and burn it on the spot after reading it!¡± he added.

    Knowing that the matter was critical, Wu Rui immediately put out his cigarette butt and took the document. There were two big words on the cover.

    Hou Yi!  (To be continued)
