"Hahaha, it took three years for the literati to rebel. It's just that they failed so quickly that they are hardly worth mentioning." Yang Yuting laughed.
Zeng Youyi on the side said: "Chief of Staff Yang, this is not the great thing about literati. Take King Luo Bin as an example. Following Xu Jingye's rebellion, there was no news after the defeat. This is a vivid example of a failed rebellion. The result
Just because of his outstanding literary talent, he has been praised by people all over the world for many years."
Tang Shaoyi also nodded and said: "Minister Zeng is right. Take the Han and Tang Dynasties as an example. There are definitely more people who don't know about Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty than those who don't know about Sima Qian. Not many people know about Taizong's civil, political and military functions, but
There are many people who can recite Li and Du's poems. The literati are a government through the ages. We may be able to punish them now, but they will probably suffer a bad reputation in the future."
At this point, Tang Shaoyi glanced at Zhang Tinglan secretly. He said this because he also wanted to remind Zhang Tinglan not to kill all these literati on a whim, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
Zhang Tinglan naturally understands the importance of this. Even in later generations, after many times of cleaning up, the disciples and descendants of the literati still jumped out, confusing right and wrong, and confusing the public. In fact, Zhang Tinglan was holding a hedgehog in his hand at this time, no matter what he did.
If he were killed, he would immediately become Qin Shihuang's second best, but if he were let go, there was no telling how these people would confuse the public with their monstrous words. Zhang Tinglan was immediately embarrassed, and he set his sights on Chang Yinhuai.
Chang Yinhuai had been the spy chief for such a long time. How could he not understand anything? He hurriedly said: "Vice President, I have a suggestion. It is better to temporarily imprison these people in Jilin No. 3 Prison and teach them a lesson."
That’s it.”
Zhang Tinglan didn't understand what Chang Yinhuai meant at first, but then his eyes showed joy. This Jilin No. 3 Prison is very particular. When Feng Jun invaded the Korean Peninsula, he got back a large amount of uranium ore, and the result was
Hoard Jilin and declare it to the outside world as a prison.
There are radioactive substances in uranium ore. If you are exposed to too much, it will cause cancer. Even in future generations, cancer will be a terminal disease. If these people are imprisoned, it will not take too long, three to five months, a year and a half,
Then they released it. It can be considered a magnanimous government.
After coming out, if you get any disease, you will have nothing to do with the government. Of course, these guys will die early, and they will not be able to leave any disciples or grandchildren. Chang Yinhuai’s idea is exactly what he wants, Zhang Tinglan’s face showed
A satisfied smile.
"Director Chang, it's up to you to handle this matter."
"Don't worry, Vice President, I promise to do a great job!"
As soon as these scholars were captured, Li Yuanhong hurried over. When he saw Zhang Tinglan, he hurriedly said: "I've said it before. The affairs of this capital all depend on you. Those scholars are simply whimsical.
"
"President, don't worry, I have ordered everyone to be arrested. However, these people are all famous, so just give them a light punishment. When the matter at hand is finished and I find an opportunity, I will release them."
.”
Li Yuanhong nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "This is the best. To be honest, I also hate those self-righteous guys, but it's not easy to offend them. It's really a bit difficult to handle. Everything depends on Zhu Yan's ability."
Zhang Tinglan glanced at Li Yuanhong. This Li Bodhisattva looked honest and submissive. He looked like a complete loser. But since the Republic of China, Li Yuanhong has been like a roly-poly. Whoever comes to power will treat him favorably, except for luck.
He is also very good at adapting to the situation. At this time, he pushed everything to Zhang Tinglan. On the one hand, he showed his attitude of not fighting for power, and on the other hand, he completely passed the responsibility on Zhang Tinglan.
"President, it is clear that the British are behind this case and have used the name of the church to engage in a large number of espionage activities that endanger China's security. I have instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with the British and ask them to apologize immediately. In addition, there are
It is also worth noting that our monitoring of schools is too lax, and this must change. The government can no longer be passively beaten in the public opinion war."
When Li Yuanhong heard this, he nodded hastily: "I think this is a good suggestion. In fact, it has been troubled by these literati for many years. Is it possible that if there is a chance, it really needs to be rectified."
Zeng Youyi said from the side: "President, the Ministry of Education plans to completely abolish church schools, and private schools must also obey the unified instructions of the government. Political counselors will be added in schools, and unified national security education courses will be set up to educate students.
It also includes society, conducting counter-espionage education to prevent schools from being manipulated by other forces again."
When he was in the opposition, Zhang Tinglan also used student demonstrations to build momentum, but after truly sitting in his current position, Zhang Tinglan also deeply understood that this kind of demonstration was just a struggle of the weak to the outside world, and it was just a meaningless internal friction internally, and it must be controlled.
Otherwise, no matter what you do, a group of people will always come out to make trouble, and then there will be nothing left to do.
Therefore, necessary authoritarian rule, or even dictatorship, is of great significance in the early stage of national construction and the foundation stage. In fact, almost all industrial countries rely on strong government power for leadership. Germany, Japan
, Russia is all like this, and if it implements universal suffrage before completing industrialization, it will probably end up like Latin American countries, falling into a desperate situation, and no matter how hard it struggles, it will not be able to get out of the quagmire.
Of course, China is a very strange country. In fact, from ancient times to the present, China has rarely had a true dictator. Emperors of all dynasties have to rule the world together with scholar-bureaucrats. This is not because they are modest, but because China is too big and too complicated.
Relying on one person's wisdom will definitely not handle all aspects of things well.
For Zhang Tinglan, the most ideal political system is to find a balance between development and fairness, maintain the absolute ability to act arbitrarily on major events, and at the same time allow various interest groups to fully compete on small matters.
It is out of this consideration that Zhang Tinglan requested to control the school, but also retained some rights to speak. Zeng Youyi also implemented Zhang Tinglan's opinions and proposed such a plan. Li Yuanhong had no way to object and could only nod in agreement.
.
Tang Shaoyi also said: "Schools are one aspect. In addition, newspapers and magazines must also be controlled. They cannot be allowed to say whatever they want. The government is preparing to propose a press and publication law to regulate the cultural market. In addition, for speech and publishing,
Freedom of demonstration, association, etc. must also be controlled. Freedom does not mean that you can do whatever you want or say what you want. Especially those celebrities, they must be responsible for their words."
Regarding the control of public opinion, there is also no one-size-fits-all approach, it is banned directly, but it will definitely be subject to various restrictions in the future. The tightness and tightness of this shackles are completely in Zhang Tinglan's hands. As society gradually advances, he will continue to loosen the restrictions.
.Give people more autonomy.
The era of the Beiyang warlords came to an end not because they acted arbitrarily and acted recklessly, but precisely because they were not able to establish a stable social order because of their insufficient dictatorship. After frequent wars, they exhausted all their strength.
Of course Zhang Tinglan would not make this mistake. Now that we have the opportunity to suppress the academic community, it would be remiss if we did not take advantage of it. Public opinion, the most effective weapon, must be controlled in one's own hands.
"President, in addition to this, I have another request. During this chaos, Cao Kun, the governor of Zhili, did not want to control his subordinates and share the country's worries. Instead, he encouraged his subordinates to take the opportunity to make money and was willing to act as a trap for the great powers.
An accomplice. Then he came out to instigate the relationship between teachers and students and the government. I think such a person can no longer stay in office and must be removed from his position. In addition, Wang Huaiqing and Zhang Fulai must also be taken down."
When Li Yuanhong heard this, he was suddenly stunned. There was also a conflict between Cao Kun and Li Yuanhong. Li Yuanhong was also happy to see the outcome, but after all, Cao Kun was the direct leader and had many soldiers under his command, and there was a man like Wu Peifu.
The Tigers were entrenched in the Central Plains. If they forcibly captured Cao Kun, it would cause greater trouble. Li Yuanhong did not dare to be too careless.
Zhang Tinglan suddenly laughed and said: "President, as long as Cao Kun can hand over the Zhili military governor, Wu Peifu can be appointed as the envoy to the Central Plains to be in charge of the suppression of bandits in Henan and surrounding areas."
Obviously, this is a slap in the face, a sweet date, and the capture of Cao Kun's Zhili governor. It means that Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei have completely fallen under the control of Fengjun, and the Zhili clique has lost its base camp. The impact on the Zhili clique is:
It's quite huge. Let Wu Peifu be promoted a step higher, which can just reduce the resistance of the Zhili clique. Zhang Tinglan knows the right measure of this very well.
"I wish you could take care of all these things. Anyway, I fully support you."
After defeating Li Yuanhong, Zhang Tinglan also obtained Shang Fang's sword, which was perfect for showing off his skills. He first ordered Jiang Dengxuan to disarm Zhang Fulai and Wang Huaiqing's troops.
During the days of handling the case, Jiang Dengxuan led the army and surrounded the two divisions, allowing only entry and no exit. Of course the Zhili army was not convinced by this, and tried to launch an attack to break the Fengjun blockade, but nothing happened.
He was beaten back by Fengjun and suffered a bloody head injury.
Those scholars still want to point out that these two divisions pose a threat to Fengjun. In fact, it is completely wishful thinking. Whether it is equipment or training, Fengjun has far ahead of the domestic army. In addition, after taking over the Central Plains, the military morale of the troops
Morale also reached its peak, and the Zhijun army was not taken seriously at all.
After receiving the order, Jiang Dengxuan immediately took decisive action. The two divisions who were blocked in the military camp honestly handed over their weapons. These soldiers fell into the hands of Feng Jun.
After the threat from the army was resolved, Fengjun had the final say in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and Zhang Tinglan focused his main energy on negotiations with the British.
However, the negotiations reached a deadlock from the beginning. The United Kingdom firmly refused to apologize to China and threatened several times to take strong sanctions against China.
Gu Weijun, who was in charge of the negotiations, reported the situation to Zhang Tinglan. After Zhang Tinglan listened, he just nodded calmly and asked Gu Weijun to be fully responsible for the negotiations and not to worry about other things.
After sending Gu Weijun away, Zhang Tinglan immediately called Yang Yuting over.
"It's rude to come and go without reciprocating. The British can secretly plot against us and almost end our lives. Then we can also take action and light a fire on their one-third of an acre of land."
"Idiot, do you mean to take action in Nanyang?"
"Yes, according to my opinion, it is best to start in Borneo. It is rich in rubber and has important strategic value. Moreover, the south of this island belongs to the Netherlands and the northwest belongs to the United Kingdom. It happens to be a transition zone between the colonial powers of the two countries. Here
This kind of place is just convenient for establishing a base area and giving full play to the effectiveness of guerrilla warfare."
After hearing this, Yang Yuting nodded: "It is true that we cannot let the great powers always wreak havoc on our land, and we should burn the war outside. It's just that these young people in Nanyang don't have enough training time, and they haven't trained in jungle warfare.
, I’m afraid they won’t be able to do it.”
"It's a mule or a horse, just lead it around. Training alone can't produce a strong army. We need to draw some top soldiers from our army and cooperate with these young people from Southeast Asia to learn in actual combat.
Grow through battle!”
"It's okay, let's arrange a small team of people to experiment first, and then increase investment when results are achieved."
