"The villain cultivates and reads the heirloom, never dares to do evil things, although the family has a thin land, but it is also an acre of painstaking accumulation, absolutely no tricks. And when it comes to the year of famine, the villains all open porridge factories to relieve the victims, and they usually repair bridges and roads, and do good deeds. But Wu Peifu actually asked people to take away all the land in the villain's house and give it to the gang of mud legs, how can the villain's family live! ”

As he spoke, the fellow fell to the ground and wept bitterly. The other dozens of squires were also like this, and they fell to the ground together, kowtowing incessantly.

"Sir, you are in charge, return the inherited land from the villain era to us, and then you will be our Qingtian lord and our reborn parents!"

Looking at the person who was crying, Yan Xishan also frowned, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help: "Everyone stand up first, now it's the Republic of China, we are not a big man, but a public servant, we are here to do things for everyone, you don't want to be like this." ”

Finally helped these people up, and the old squire led by him also said excitedly: "Sir, we are not white, many people are councilors in the city and county, but they were bullied by Wu Peifu, we really have no way out, as long as you can give us the master, these old brothers, all obey their orders, and there will be a good reward." ”

As he spoke, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps on the other side of the street, and hundreds of people trotted over, led by a few young and strong peasants, all of whom were carrying shovels and hoes, and wooden sticks in their hands, and were so violent, as if they were going to fight.

When Fu Zuoyi saw it, he hurriedly waved his hand. Let his soldiers rush over, forming a human wall, blocking them all in case something happens. When Chu Mingyuan saw this, he was also unhappy, on the first day of his arrival, there was a situation where the two goods were in a confrontation, which showed the seriousness of the problem.

"Let them send a few representatives, and if there is anything, just make it clear to their faces."

In a short time, a few peasants arrived in front of them. The leader also knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Sir, the villain Li Suo has worked hard for most of his life, and he has not saved anything, and Chief Wu has arrived." and gave us land and a way to live. We've got it all figured out. If you dare to take back the land. We pulled the flag and rebelled, went to Beijing, and let Chief Wu sit in the Jinluan Palace. ”

When the old villager on the side heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Sir, listen to it." Is this human talk, a group of Diao people, you can't be polite to them, and the big blade is slashed up. Cut off a few heads, and the world will be too peaceful! ”

As soon as the peasants heard this, they immediately jumped up, clenched their fists and rushed over, trying to beat this old countryman, and the peasants behind them also made a noise, and the scene was chaotic.

Fu Zuoyi suddenly took out the matching gun, fired three shots in the air, and when he heard the gunshot, these people quieted down, Chu Mingyuan looked at the two groups of people, and then looked at Yan Xishan. Lao Xi'er was helpless: "Senator Chu, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Chu Mingyuan nodded, and then said loudly to them: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time we came to Henan, because we were entrusted by the vice president to reform the land system. ”

As soon as they heard this, those peasants immediately cheered, no matter whether the warlords of the direct line did the expropriation of Henan or did evil, but they at least divided the land, so that most of the peasants had a foundation for their lives. After hearing that Wu Peifu was defeated, Henan and other places were in turmoil.

Moreover, some landlords relied on the support of the bureaucrats to snatch the land back, and the common people were also red-eyed, and they became militia groups in various places, ready to fight desperately with the landlords.

As soon as Chu Mingyuan said this, the peasants were reassured, and finally became happy, and some simply lay on the ground again, kowtowing constantly. But as soon as the squires heard this, they immediately stopped doing it, and shouted loudly 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, you can rest assured!" ”

Yan Xishan also continued to speak and persuade, and finally calmed down the two groups, and when the two of them arrived in the hall and sat down, they all had a little weak legs and stomachs, and Yan Laoxi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm afraid this time the matter is not simple, the vice president handed us a hot potato." ”

Chu Mingyuan also smiled slightly: "Yan Zhangguang, the more difficult things to do, the more you can show your ability, I have heard people say that the vice president appreciates Chief Yan's ability to govern the local area very much, if he can do it well this time, I am afraid that the opportunity to rise to the top will come." ”

When Yan Xishan heard this, he also sat up all of a sudden, and hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" ”

"Mr. Min Yuan said it himself, and he still asked me to learn from you in the telegram!"

Yan Xishan initially thought that Zhang Tinglan arranged him to Henan purely because of his own mistake and let the rebels threaten the capital, and Zhang Tinglan deliberately handed over such an unlucky thing to himself. Looking at it now, maybe Zhang Tinglan really had the heart to reuse himself, and Yan Laoxi suddenly started to calculate again.

It seems that he may not have a chance to develop in the military circles, but if he can show his talents in internal affairs, it can be regarded as an achievement.

"Senator Chu, it's not a way to sit here, let's go down immediately to investigate and find out the situation, you are in charge of the peasants, and I will be in charge of the gentry, and use the fastest time to find out the local situation."

Chu Mingyuan also smiled and nodded: "That's what I mean!" ”

……

"Vice President, it's a great event, the war has made a great contribution now!" Liu Shaoqing, the newly promoted intelligence chief, sent a telegram to Zhang Tinglan's eyes.

After Zhang Tinglan looked at it twice, he was also overjoyed and showed a satisfied smile, it turned out that this report was the situation of the Japanese Navy.

Since the last war, Zhang Tinglan has painstakingly thrown out the Mackensen modification jihua to lure the Japanese into being fooled, and it took considerable effort to do so. And at this time, the results are finally seen.

Japan was afraid of the threat of the Mackenson, and tried hard to fight for it at the Washington Conference, but the United States and Britain also agreed that Japan could build two corresponding battle cruisers in order to balance China, but the premise was that the Mackensen in China was refitted.

After all, China only has one large warship, and it will take a long time to form combat effectiveness, so when the Chinese warship is refitted, the Japanese will start building it again, and it will be fine, but the Japanese are eager for quick success, and they secretly start building.

The two battlecruisers corresponding to the Mackensen were none other than the Akagi and Tensei. In the original history, the Akagi was to be transformed into an aircraft carrier, but the Akagi was given the opportunity to be retained, and it still appeared on Shijie as a battle cruiser.

The two Kaga-class battleships, Kaga and Tosa, were converted into aircraft carriers, but after the Great Kanto Earthquake, the keel of the Tensei was damaged and scrapped. According to reliable information, the Japanese hastily activated the Jihua of the thirteenth battle cruiser to replace the Tiancheng.

This thirteenth battle cruiser, which was only a dead letter in history, was not put into practice, and as a result, Japan was forced to abandon it because of the restrictions of the Washington Treaty.

However, in this time and space, the Japanese had to turn this drawing into reality, and the Great Kanto Earthquake disrupted the social order in Japan, and intelligence officers were able to figure out the situation in Japan.

"Vice President, according to intelligence, this thirteenth battle cruiser is named Waka, equipped with 460 mm main guns, with a full load displacement of more than 50,000 tons, and a speed of 30 knots, it is an out-and-out big guy."

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face, the extent to which the battlecruiser burned money, even above the battleship, with the perverted character of Japan, this battlecruiser was so huge, it was definitely a sky-high price.

But no matter how fast and powerful the battlecruiser is, it can't match the value of an aircraft carrier, and when the Mackensen is refitted, the Japanese will have a very wonderful face.

Moreover, due to the Washington Treaty, the tonnage of Japan's remaining aircraft carriers has been reduced, which means that the Japanese can only build one of the historical Flying Dragon and Soryu. In this way, the Japanese Navy had two more battlecruisers of little value, but it cost a staggering amount of money, but one less large aircraft carrier.

As soon as it comes out, the combat effectiveness of the combined fleet is weakened a lot, and it is definitely a great blessing for China.

"Okay, great, the Japanese want to burn money, let's add some more material to them, the holiday yuan can be detonated, and the Japanese will be anxious for a while."

Liu Shaoqing nodded hurriedly and went down to do it......

Luoyang, Henan.

Chu Mingyuan has been running in the countryside for five or six days, these days he has been going to the village to visit the household, eating and living with the common people, and has a very in-depth understanding of their situation, since the Republic of China, the Central Plains has been in frequent wars, first there are white wolves in chaos, and then there are warlords in the scuffle, and the replacement is like a marquee.

When a new governor came, a lot of tax revenue was increased, and in addition, the drought and flood disasters continued, and the landlords were excessively exploited, and the common people were miserable, and many people had to sell their sons and daughters.

There are even some disaster-stricken places, eating tree bark, eating Guanyin soil, and as a result, they are swelled to death, and there are also tragedies of eating Yizi, and when these tragedies occur, the government just disappeared, and the result is only when taxes are collected, and the people are deeply resentful.

However, Chu Mingyuan's easy-going and pro-people style has still been recognized by the people, and everyone is gradually willing to say what is in their hearts.

After dinner, Chu Mingyuan sat on the threshing floor with a group of old farmers, listening to everyone's bitterness in introducing themselves, an old farmer stretched out his hand, on the black palm, there were only three fingers, he said with a wry smile: "These two fingers were cut off because of the money owed to the landlord, and the fingers fell to the ground, and they jumped a few times......

While he was talking, suddenly a half-grown child ran over: "Oh no, the people of the Tang family called!" (To be continued......)
