November 25, 1908, morning.
"Ah!
Surprisingly, some plantation owners really dare to resist, refuse to cooperate with the Golden Shield Bureau’s investigation, and resist agricultural reforms.”
Tangning was furious when she saw the situation in Balia State sent by Fisher.
"These are no longer ordinary planters, they are rebellious.
Punch!
You have to hit hard!"
A small plantation owner who dares to resist the kingdom's just investigation must have something evil in his heart. How can this situation be tolerated?
The Golden Shield Bureau is the three core agencies of the Kingdom's important security bureau, which assumes internal responsibilities.
The Security Bureau is divided into the internal golden shield, the external golden gun, and the golden sword responsible for taxation. It is subordinate to the Ministry of Supervision and directly subordinate to the king. It will not change even after the constitutional government.
The Security Bureau represents the will of the kingdom and refuses to accept or cooperate with the state's investigation. Some people even dare to beat investigators. This is a challenge to the authority of the state.
How arrogant!
What behavior is this?
How to identify attributes?
How to punish?
Traitor!
Absolute traitor!
In this case, we must hit hard to nip rebellion in the cradle.
Without exerting power, it is impossible to rule the world!
Only by cutting through the mess quickly can the country be brought back on track. Even if there are some injustices, partial sacrifices for the sake of the country are completely acceptable.
Tangning picked up the phone on her desk, dialed the number, and asked the telephone contact person to transfer Fisher.
"Baron Fisher, don't be soft anymore.
Charlie, Matthew, Embiid from Bahia, and Franco from Sergipe, these plantation owners, gave me a heavy blow.
Give all these people to me. I will directly capture them in the procession, try them, and shoot them. All family members will be sent to the labor reform bureau, and all their assets will be confiscated."
In times of emergency, Tang Ning was not shy about resorting to extraordinary measures.
Isn’t it the result of these residues that Brazil has become like this?
I thought that after Neymar was dealt with, these people would be obedient, understanding, accepting, and cooperative.
It turned out that there were indeed people who refused to drink and drank as fines, resisted the field review and statistics, played tricks on hired workers, and some even deliberately beat up the Golden Shield investigators.
"Your Majesty, we don't have many manpower.
There are many people who do not cooperate with the investigation. These few people reacted very violently. They are quite armed. The Golden Shield Bureau is very short of manpower and it is difficult to improve its efficiency."
Faced with His Majesty the King's request for a heavy blow, Fisher said that it is difficult to do many things in the current predicament.
"Some local police departments, acting on both sides of the aisle, did not cooperate with the security bureau and the farmers' association's investigation operations.
Your Majesty, I request you to slow down the operation and take it step by step. The current manpower is too short and it is easy for a chaos to break out. It will be unable to suppress it and cause heavy losses to the country."
"No, it must be solved with high pressure. Don't give them too much time."
Of course Tangning knew that this would be difficult, but how could such a thing be delayed? Obviously it couldn't be delayed, otherwise it would be even harder to do next.
We must deal with these planters quickly!
"The police department is not cooperative, is it?
It seems that I am right to clean up them. I will sort out the dark residue from now on.
Now, since the police are unreliable, then mobilize the army and bring me machine guns, mortars, and mountain artillery.
If there is really an armed resistance, I will treat it as treason and kill without mercy; and in the future, when investigating the situation of the fields and hired workers, you can bring machine guns and mortars. If there is any obstruction, you can suppress it according to the situation.
p>
The Kingdom will issue an announcement to let certain people know what they are doing. This is rebellion.
If anyone helps the rebellious plantation owners, they are also participating in treason and do not need to be excused. They are all guilty and will not be forgiven."
Tang Ning, this time, land reform is not just for coffee plantation owners, but for everyone.
Large planters, small planters, and farmers were all investigated one by one, and files and household registrations were established.
Tang Ning wanted to use the assassination operation to create a thunderstorm and break through thousands of people.
Brazil's problem is fundamentally a land issue, and there must be no compromise. The sooner it is resolved, the better. If this kind of thing is delayed, it will become increasingly difficult to handle in the future.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Baron."
Tangning hung up the phone, took out the signal pen, walked to the big Brazilian political map hanging on the wall, muttered in her mouth, and started to draw with her hands.
"Espiritu Santo is a small state close to Rio de Janeiro. The plantation owners know what they are doing and will not split it up under the emperor's feet.
Bahia is too big, the planters are concentrated together, and their power is huge, so it must be broken up."
Tangning moved her pen to the huge state of Bahia in the north of Espírito Santo and frowned.
"The small states northeast of Bahia are the first land that Portugal developed in Brazil. There are also many medium-sized planters. They are further away from the center, so we must pay attention to them."
Tangning looked at Bahia and the seven or eight small states next to it, such as Sergipe, Alagoas, and Pernambuco, and felt troubled.
These small northeastern states are Portugal’s earliest plantation colonial bases and are famous throughout the world for their sugar industry.
Although it has lagged behind the coffee trade during the Republic, was squeezed by other sugar industry bases, and gradually declined and became poor, it is undeniable that the influence of plantations is still very deep and needs to be solved.
"Bahia and a bunch of small states in the northeast are too far away from the capital. A piece of land must be set aside for royal jurisdiction and the northeastern center of the kingdom should be established here to control the states.
The state of Pernambuco with Recife is very suitable, and the royal family also has power here, so it’s the only one."
After being lost in thought and trouble for a while, Tangning pointed his pen at Pernambuco, the central state in northeastern Brazil, and then he looked at Bahia.
"Pernambuco is directly under the jurisdiction of the state, but the territory is too small.
The state of Bahia is so big that the area just north of the São Francisco River was allocated to the state of Pernambuco, killing two birds with one stone.
At the same time, this will also allow the state of Goiás, which is under royal jurisdiction and wants to be developed inland, to border it to facilitate communication with the coast."
After Tangning cut off a piece of Bahia land, she found that the remaining area was still too big and had to be cut again.
"The south of the Requitinonia River, as far as the state of Espírito Santo, was drawn out to form a new state, with the capital of Porto Seguro.
From the north of the Zekitinionia River to the south of the Odikontas River in the plateau area, a new state was established, with its capital Ilheus.
The rest, bounded by the plateau area and the Paraguazu River, is divided into two new states, with Salvador as the capital in the north and Itaparrica as the capital in the south."
Tangning's operation directly cut Bahia, the top five largest states in Brazil, from south to north into four regions: Seguru, Ilhéus, Itaparica, and Salvador. At the same time, it also divided
A piece of land was annexed to the state of Pernambuco.
"In the future, the northeastern region will be centered on Brambuco, with El Salvador and Ceará as the sub-centers.
Also, the state of Maranhão is divided into the northeast and belongs to the northern Amazon region..."
"Guess who I am?"
Just when Tang Ning was drawing the map seriously and bending down to cut the huge inland Mato Grosso state out of Mato Grosso do Sul, her eyes were suddenly blindfolded.
Tangning was stunned for a moment when she smelled the familiar scent of jasmine and the slightly altered but playful voice in the growing stage.
"Helen?"
Tangning hesitated and said with doubt.
After feeling that the person behind her was stunned for a moment, Tangning knew she had guessed correctly.
"Helen, aren't you in Alagave? Why did you end up in Brazil!?"
Tangning easily opened the delicate little hands that covered her eyes, and asked her sister incredulously.
