Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"Puchi..." The lazy man suddenly laughed when he saw Wang Zhenpeng and Li Dachao's foolishness, "Don't be nervous, I don't have a gun and I have no one with me. You are here to save Jingxue!"

Wang Zhenpeng was overjoyed, nodded and said: "How dare you ask brother?"

"What brother stage? I'm your uncle, hehe"

"Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yuan Jingxue walked out from behind the man with a blushing face, looked at Wang Zhenpeng affectionately with her big watery eyes, and then unconsciously lowered her head.

It turned out that this man was none other than Yuan Jingxue's second elder brother, the same mother and brother, Yuan Kewen who was known as the master of the Green Gang.

"Hehe, I noticed when you came to check on the news yesterday, that is to say, you met me. If you were someone else, you would end up here today. Let's go, Uncle He will be back later."

Wang Zhenpeng hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. Brother Jingxue, if you have time to come to the south, I will definitely thank you very much."

Yuan Kewen said: "One family doesn't talk about the two families, and those who don't thank you will be excused... Hey, hey, why did you climb over the wall again, there are not many people in the house, go out through the back door, what's wrong!"

Wang Zhenpeng pulled Yuan Jingxue away with an embarrassing face, Yuan Kewen coughed and said, "Just leave like this?"

Wang Zhenpeng stayed where he was, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What do you mean, second brother?"

Yuan Kewen slapped his head: "Why does my sister like a fool like you?"

"Brother..." Yuan Jingxue said coquettishly

"Yes, yes, I won't recruit you, little ancestor. Who is that? It's you, you abducted the eldest daughter of the family without leaving a name? This is really unkind!" Yuan Kewen laughed.

Wang Zhenpeng snorted and said, "Wang Zhenpeng is in Baoqing Mansion, Hunan Province!"

Yuan Kewen is also well-informed: "Baoqing Mansion? How dare you ask Wang Zhenyu in the south?"

Wang Zhenpeng cupped his hands and said, "It's the third brother."

After saying that, Wang Zhenpeng dragged Yuan Jingxue away, Yuan Jingxue turned to Yuan Kewen and said, "Brother, take good care of our mother!"

"Don't worry, little sister." After Yuan Kewen saw the three of them go out, he suddenly recalled: "Hey, this kid is really an enemy..."

Life is really full of chances. In order to avoid possible raids, the three finally chose to go out through Chaoyang Gate. Wang Zhenpeng said with emotion: "One night three years ago, I was still a trainee officer in the Gongwei Army. There was a convoy going out of the city at night, and I didn't allow it. Finally, the third brother came and told me that the only reason he succeeded was that he opened a door at a critical moment..."

"Stop, check." Only now did Wang Zhenpeng realize that Chaoyangmen had set up gates, and more than 20 soldiers were here to check every passerby. Could it be that the Yuan family found out that Jingxue had run away so quickly.If it is, I am not afraid, because few people have seen Jingxue, and at the moment Jingxue is dressed in men's clothes, the three of them obediently stepped aside to accept the inspection.

"Report to the platoon leader, no weapons were found." The soldiers simply searched the horses and did not strictly search the body. It seemed that nothing major happened, but something happened to the platoon leader.

The platoon leader looked 24 to [-] years old and was tall and thin. After taking a good look at Wang Zhenpeng, he asked the soldiers to invite Wang Zhenpeng to the checkpoint to rest.Yuan Jingxue immediately grabbed Wang Zhenpeng's arm nervously, and Wang Zhenpeng patted her hand lightly, signaling that she was fine before letting go.

When he reached the checkpoint, the officer handed him a cigarette: "Senior, why, it looks like you're going to be a deserter?"

Wang Zhenpeng was startled, looked carefully and asked, "Who are you?"

The officer smiled and said, "Zhang Zhizhong, a student from the third phase of the Baoding Infantry Division. Don't you know him?"

"Zhang Wenbai, Anhui guy, how could I not know each other? I haven't seen you for two years. Why did you graduate?" Wang Zhenpeng immediately remembered that there was such a junior.

"I just graduated, and I've been assigned to the first division. It's boring, and I don't want to do it anymore. Senior?" Zhang Zhizhong asked.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Zhenpeng still decided to trust this junior: "I'm really quitting, and I'm going back to my hometown, Hunan."

Zhang Zhizhong nodded: "When I was in the military academy, I heard from the seniors that your third brother is Wang Zhenyu. Why don't you take me with you, I don't want to stay in Beijing anymore."

Wang Zhenpeng nodded: "Okay, but I have something urgent and I have to leave immediately, you see?"

Zhang Zhizhong said with a smile: "What does it matter, everything else is outside the body, let's go together."

Then Zhang Zhizhong turned around and said: "You stand still, I will come back later, this is my fellow villager, I will see you off."

"Good class, platoon leader, Huzi got a dog last night, and there will be dog meat hot pot for lunch." A big soldier replied happily.

A group of four left Beijing like this. . .

Half a month later, the Yuan family released a message in the Suncheon Times, announcing that the Yuan family and Yuan Jingxue had severed ties. . .

Many years later, General Zhang Zhizhong, who retired perfectly in a high position, faithfully recorded in his personal memoirs the escape that determined the development of his life.

"The long river of history is full of accidents like this. A thought that happened by accident that day actually affected my whole life. Looking back on this life, this is undoubtedly the most sensible choice. At that moment, I was undoubtedly the bravest person in the world. I am proud of myself. Although this is just an accident, it seems to be a little inevitable. Perhaps our history is made up of the necessity and accident together."

Just when Wang Zhenpeng and the others fled to Tianjin and were about to go south by sea, on June 6, in Nanjing, a discussion about democracy was going on, and the trigger for this discussion was the then member of the Military Commission, the Gendarmerie Lieutenant General Yang Wangui, Commander-in-Chief of the Headquarters, submitted the proposal "On Prohibiting Citizens from Illegally Possessing Firearms" to the Third Session of the First National Assembly on behalf of the Military Commission.

This proposal was voted on the afternoon of the third day of the seven-day meeting as the sixth discussion proposal of the third meeting of the first National Congress in the five years of the Republic of China. Under the chairmanship of the speaker Zhang Taiyan, all 361 national representatives actually attended 307 people, with 221 votes in favor, 71 votes against, and 15 abstentions, passed this motion.

Then a big discussion on the issue of democracy was triggered.

The first attack is still the Shanghai "Shenbao" which has always been against Wang Zhenyu: "...Since Yu claims to be the government of the people, how can he prohibit the right of the people to defend themselves? Why can't the United States prohibit the use of firearms to keep the country in chaos? China can't prohibit firearms The world is in chaos? Since it is a democratic system, why is there only one party in the center alone? How can there be such a thing as the National Government? Such a dictatorial entity in the cloak of democracy is different from Yuan Shikai's dictatorial monarchy? May I ask the National Government, where will it go tomorrow? ..."

Then "Zhejiang Minbao", "Shanghai Daily", and "Jiangsu Guangming Daily" wrote follow-up articles, and for a while there were voices of criticism of the Nationalist government.

Led by "Yuanjiang Daily", "Youth Army Daily", "National Socialist Party Daily", "Nanjing Daily" and "Wuhan Daily" naturally spared no effort to counter this: "...the so-called democracy does not lie in its superficial form. It depends on whether it protects the democracy and freedom of the people. Like the situation in the United Kingdom, the king still exists, and the people have no guns. However, the people can elect members and remove the government, so you can regard it as the imperial dictatorship of Yuan Thief..."

Surprisingly, the Nanjing Nationalist Government at the moment is dead silent. Obviously, behind the whole discussion there is Sun Wen or Hu Hanmin who are fueling the flames. Its essence is not necessarily a multi-party system, but more likely It is to create an atmosphere of public opinion to achieve a certain purpose.

Wang Zhenyu thought about it, but he didn't think that just a few pens could shake the gun under his hand.Because the army's loyalty to itself is by no means simply relying on beliefs, but also the relationship of interests. Looking at the whole country, silver dollars are used as the denomination unit. There are several ordinary soldiers who get eight yuan a month, and the whole northern Beiyang is the highest. Six yuan per month, but the actual income is only two yuan and four cents.It's easy to defeat yourself. How can the national government pay these soldiers?tax?

The current Wang Zhenyu Group is actually composed of the China Development Corporation, the three major banks, and the Youth Army.

Sure enough, the controversy only lasted for less than two weeks before it calmed down. Hu Hanmin and others suddenly discovered that Wang Zhenyu, a 25-year-old young man, was much more confident than they had imagined.He didn't show any signs of panic in this debate at all, and didn't even say a word. Hu Hanmin even began to faintly worry that if he challenged this young man again and again, it would cause serious consequences. . .

Obviously this worry is superfluous. Wang Zhenyu really hates Hu Hanmin now, but it doesn't mean he has the time and ideas to deal with Hu Hanmin.It is easy to get rid of a housekeeper of the Government Affairs Council, but who will replace it?After tossing and tossing, in the end it's not to tossing myself.Therefore, Wang Zhenyu still has this bit of political tolerance and tolerance, and let some people dance like a clown.Thinking of this, Wang Zhenyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Perhaps the most suitable person to cooperate with him should be Song Jiaoren, not Sun Wen and the others. At least Song Jiaoren's habit is to bring political struggles into the framework of laws and parliaments, rather than conspiracy.

Forget it, don't think about it anymore, after Shanghai contracted out the entire light industry development plan through bidding, Wang Zhenyu's prestige among the merchant class reached its peak.At least in the eyes of these businessmen, Wang Zhenyu is a good comrade, and it is rare to meet him in hundreds of years!

But Wang Zhenyu has more to worry about. One of the problems is how to protect the development of the national light industry. The first problem is the tariff issue. At present, the customs has indeed withdrawn it, but the tariff is only 5.00%. This tariff is really low. dead.According to Wang Zhenyu's idea, at least 20.00% is needed to ensure that the country's products have market competitiveness.Of course, this problem is not urgent now, but it will become more prominent after the end of the European War, so now we must solve this sensitive problem while foreigners are not sensitive.But who should talk about this matter?
