Chapter 601: The Great Purge II
readx; In the backyard of the Nanjing Presidential Palace, Chen Jingyun was wearing a thin shirt, although it had not yet reached summer, it should have been a season of breeze accompanied by light rain, but I don't know how it was surprisingly hot these days, and the sun hanging on Sky Mountain was very fierce, so that people who were still wearing coats some time ago had to change into thin clothes in the hot summer. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Chen Jingyun and Chen Huatian Chen Huajun father and son sat on the sofa and sat next to Chen Jingyun, the two brothers were a little restrained.
Chen Jingyun also felt a little helpless about this unharmonious relationship between father and son, he rarely had time to accompany his children, and once he had time, he spent more time with his two daughters, and for these sons, Chen Jingyun did not accompany much, and most of them were checking their schoolwork when they met, as for the kind of heart-to-heart talk between father and son, things like that did not appear.
"Listen to your mother, you want to play the piano at school the day after tomorrow?" Chen Jingyun asked casually.
Chen Huajun's face was a little nervous, and he replied a little embarrassed: "Yes, it's for the stage play!" ”
The eldest brother Chen Huatian on the side of this meeting also spoke: "Father, Ah Jun's piano has been getting better and better in the past two years, and even Mr. Li said that it was good!" ”
Although he is only one year older, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, and seeing that the younger brother is a little nervous, he took the initiative to take the words: "The third sister will also act in the stage play!" ”
Chen Jingyun listened: "Oh, Weiwei also acts, then I have to watch it even more!" What about you? What is played in a stage play at school? ”
Chen Jingyun's sons and daughters are all studying in the private Zhicheng school, because this school is run by Chen Jingyun specifically for a few of his children, so the number is not large, in addition to Chen Jingyun's children, there are some relatives, friends and children of military and political dignitaries, adding up to only fifty or sixty people, speaking of this Zhicheng school is more like the kind of family private school in ancient times.
This small school wants to engage in stage plays, naturally most schools will participate, Chen Huatian heard Chen Jingyun ask, his face was also a little embarrassed: "I tried it, but I couldn't be selected, so I can only do behind-the-scenes work and be a director's assistant to Mr. Li!" ”
Chen Jingyun smiled when he heard this: "If you don't act, you're not afraid, as long as you participate, it's a good thing!" ”
When he spoke, Chen Jingyun was also thinking about the arrangements of the last few days, secretly thinking that although there are a lot of things these days, it is okay to squeeze out half a day to watch the children's stage plays, and immediately said: "You have to prepare well, and I will go to see it when the time comes!" ”
As soon as they heard that Chen Jingyun was going to see it, Chen Huajun and Chen Huatian both had joy on their faces, these two children were already in their teens, and there were similar extracurricular activities in Zhicheng School before, but Chen Jingyun had never seen it.
Just when Chen Huatian didn't know what to say, a small white figure rushed in from outside the door, and before the person arrived, he was already shouting: "Dad, can you really go and see it?" Do you really want to go to see a microscopic show? ”
The person who dared to rush into Chen Jingyun's arms like such a wind swept up, who else could be in this world except his daughter Chen Wei.
"Well, go!" Chen Jingyun once again gave an affirmative answer.
Hearing Chen Jingyun's land reclamation answer, Chen Wei was even more happy: "Dad is not allowed to deceive people, you can't agree and regret it like last time!" ”
Chen Wei's little head melon seed memory is still very good, last year Chen Jingyun promised her to see her violin solo, but as soon as she agreed, the situation was tense, and then the war broke out in Zhongyue, so Chen Jingyun was busy every day, and he couldn't squeeze out time at all, so he missed the appointment.
At this time, Luo Li also walked in, followed by a maid, who stepped forward and said, "It's been hot these days, and I've made chilled mung bean paste in the kitchen!" ”
Seeing her mother coming, Chen Wei turned around and walked to Luo Li's side again: "Mom, Dad is going to see our performance the day after tomorrow!" ”
Luo Li also smiled: "Your father is so busy with work, did you force your father to go?" ”
"Why!" Chen Wei pouted: "It's my father who said it himself!" ”
After seeing Luo Li come in, Brother Chen Huatian hurriedly got up and greeted: "Erniang! ”
Luo Li looked at the restrained appearance of these two brothers, and then looked at his naughty and cute daughter, and suddenly found that it was good to have given birth to Chen Wei's daughter. In the early years, Luo Li has been depressed because she gave birth to a daughter and failed to give birth to a son, and then although she has always wanted to have another child, although she was pregnant again a few years ago, she had a miscarriage, and her body was very weak. At least among Chen Jingyun's children, Chen Wei is the one most loved by Chen Jingyun.
After talking to his family, he saw that it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and then Chen Jingyun got up: "I'll go outside first!" ”
In addition to spending time with his family, he also has to work, in fact, because of the strikes and purges during this time, the situation in the country has not been stable, which requires a lot of worry.
After arriving outside, Yu Shifeng found him with a pile of documents: "This is a document sent by the Ministry of Police and the Ministry of Supervision!" ”
Chen Jingyun opened and read a few documents, these documents are the recent investigation work reports of the Ministry of Police and the Ministry of Supervision, and what is investigated is naturally related to the recent purge activities.
"There are also a lot of prisoners, and it is a waste to be locked up directly, and now there is a shortage of workers in the northwest to build the railway? Just send these people over and let them do their last bit for the country! ”
Chen Jingyun said it lightly, but what he said was not a few, hundreds of people, but tens of thousands of people. During this period, Chen Jingyun mobilized several major law enforcement agencies to carry out a large-scale purge of the opposition forces in the country, and the number of arrests was calculated in the tens of thousands, not counting the strikers arrested by the military during the suppression of the strike some time ago.
It is not good to kill them directly, and it is a waste of money and food to directly care about them for decades, and maybe they will build many prisons, so it is better to send them directly to the northwest to build a railway.
Now China's railway construction has reached the bottleneck stage, the railway network in the eastern part of the country and the northeast and northern regions has been roughly completed, the Beijing-Kulun railway from Yanjing to Kulun is the earliest as a war readiness railway construction, the construction progress has been very fast, in 1917 after the outbreak of civil strife in Russia is to step up the construction efforts, and in 1918 it has been completed, and continue to build to the north, and then connected to the Russian Far East Railway, has become the main channel for China to transfer troops and military supplies to Russia.
The Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway was also opened to traffic in 1918 and connected with the Jinghan Railway, constituting the north-south artery of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway.
After years of construction, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway was also opened to traffic in 1921, and it was built into the main artery from Hangzhou to Nanchang and then to Pingxiang, connecting the Yangtze River Delta Railway Network and the Pingxiang Railway, connecting the railway network from Changsha to Nanjing and Shanghai, thus connecting the railway network in southeast China. And the construction of this southern trunk railway in China has not stopped, but continues to extend to the southwest, has been built to Huaihua, is extending to the direction of Guiyang, but the more southwest the railway construction is more difficult, the railway department estimates that to extend the southern trunk line to Yunnan, at least it will take more than ten years.
In addition to this railway, the construction of the Longhai railway is also a bit tortuous, the eastern and middle sections of the Longhai railway are quite smooth, the factors of the terrain have little influence, in 191 years when the section from Lianyungang to Luoyang has been fully connected, but then continue to extend to the west, the construction difficulty is getting bigger and bigger, it took four years to build to Xi'an, and then from Xi'an to the west to Lanzhou that section is even more difficult, until now it has not been repaired.
So much so that the strategic railway from Urumqi to Lianyungang conceived by Chen Jingyun will pass through the whole line, at least more than ten years later.
Relatively speaking, it is relatively easy to build railways in the eastern part of China, especially in North China, as long as the funds are in place, a few books can be opened in a few years, and this is the reason why the eastern provinces in addition to focusing on the construction of several trunk railways, but also a large number of branch railways.
The obstacle to railway construction now lies in the several war-ready railways, including the Northwest Railway from Xi'an to Lanzhou to Ili. In addition, there is the Southwest Railway from Huaihua to Guiyang and then to Yunnan. In addition, there is a branch railway from Jiangxi to Fujian. These railways are extremely difficult to construct and require a lot of money and time.
Now that there is so much free labor, Chen Jingyun naturally will not waste it, how simple and trouble-free it is to send it to repair the railway.
And the number of these laborers is not the final number, at present, the purge activities under Chen Jingyun's instructions are still unfolding, and a large number of people are arrested every day, although Chen Jingyun will not treat them as cruelly as those strikers before, but it will not be raised in vain.
After dealing with these, Chen Jingyun was not idle, and then met with Zheng Zuyin and Hong Zitai, both of whom are the leaders of the National Progressive Association, and it is a little strange for Chen Jingyun to meet these two people in a row at this tense time.
However, what is even more strange is that Chen Jingyun then met with Lin Changming and other leaders of the alliance party. Some politically sensitive people can already smell the wind and rain.
Could it be that Chen Jingyun is going to do something to the National Progressive Association and the Allied Party? Do you want to target them for purge?
However, just when everyone was scratching their heads, on May 1, Chen Jingyun convened an enlarged meeting of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang Socialist Party, at which it was announced that the National Progressive Association and the League Party would be merged into the National Socialist Party.
As soon as the news was announced, a large group of Kuomintang members who had dreamed of a one-party system immediately cheered.
What does the merger of the three parties represent? It means that there will be only one party in China in the future, and that is the Kuomintang Socialist Party!
However, before everyone could recover from the ecstasy, Chen Jingyun announced that he himself would not participate in the presidential race after the end of this year's term in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Constitution!
And as soon as this news came out, the whole country was in an uproar!
