"It doesn't matter. If Britain insists on sanctions, I can only take other measures." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "China has a vast land and abundant resources, and it can be self-sufficient in general things. At worst, I can learn from the Russians. As the saying goes, there is no order. Let the financial market be extremely chaotic, it is better to simply reset everything to zero and start again."

Eston stared at Zhang Tinglan's eyes, and he wanted to read a trace of fear from the other's eyes, so that he could be sure that Zhang Tinglan was bluffing.But the result still let him down.Zhang Tinglan's eyes are very calm, there is no change at all, it seems that what he said just now is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.

The calmer Zhang Tinglan was, the more disturbed Ashton was.After a long while, he let out a sigh of relief: "Your Excellency, Vice President, do you really want to die and die?"

"Mr. Minister, do you think I still have a way out?"

When Eston heard this, he was immediately stopped by the question. He let out a long breath, and then said: "Your Excellency, Vice President, please allow me to report to the country. During this period of time, please keep it secret."

Eston turned around and left in a hurry, Tang Shaoyi and Yang Yuting turned out from the side room, Tang Shaoyi walked up to Zhang Tinglan, and hurriedly asked: "Zhuoyan, is what you said just now true, don't you know Will this cause China's economy to collapse?"

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Of course it is true, but maybe we never have to go to this step. Compared with the United Kingdom, the Far East is just one aspect that needs to be considered. An excellent chess player must see the overall gains and losses, and will not Fighting against the pawns will hurt both sides. Even if China is crushed, it doesn't matter, an increasingly weak British Empire has no way to cope with other challenges."

Tang Shaoyi also nodded when she heard this: "Zhuoyan, you are betting that the British will give in, so what benefits are you going to let the British say?"

"Gengzi indemnity will continue to be suspended for five years, other loans will be suspended for three years, troops will be withdrawn from Weihaiwei, customs duties will be independent, consular jurisdiction will be abolished, and all churches will be subject to supervision!"

When Tang Shaoyi heard this, she also opened her mouth wide open. If the British can really be forced to agree, all obstacles to China's temporary development will be cleared away, which is indeed a good thing.

At this moment, Chang Yinhuai suddenly walked in from the outside: "Vice President, this is a telegram sent by Li Yuanhong's subordinates, saying that several professors and congressmen have found him, hoping that he will come forward to remove the Vice President !"

When Zhang Tinglan saw the telegram, he immediately laughed loudly: "This group of literati can't change their naivety. They think that everyone can be Zhuge Wuhou, so I will arrest all of them, and don't let any one go."

"Don't worry, Vice President, I've already arranged the manpower, and I'm just waiting for your order."

Zhou Hanguang came out of the presidential palace with a happy expression on his face. Although Li Yuanhong did not agree to their proposal, he seemed to be tempted. It seemed that Zhang Tinglan's downfall was just around the corner.

"These warriors are superstitious about force. They don't know anything about this world. In fact, what they need most is to use their brains. Reckless actions will definitely not work."

Li Chengzhao, who was following him, also laughed and said, "Zhang Tinglan is indeed too reckless. He dared to provoke the big powers before his foundation was stable. The British have many methods, and they will never be helpless. When the time comes when there are internal and external troubles, Li Yuanhong can issue an official document. Zhang Tinglan is probably going to leave!"

Zhou Hanguang also laughed and said: "Just now the President said that in the future, we will use professionals to govern the country and establish an expert government. Speaking of which, our chance has come. But from my heart, I don't want to engage in politics, so I go to the central government. The research institute is very good, concentrating on learning, teaching and educating people is much more comfortable than working hard in Vanity Fair!"

At this moment, Zhou Hanguang suddenly felt that a figure beside him flickered, and a cold and hard object pressed against his waist.

"Mr. Zhou, no matter how good the Academia Sinica is, there is still competition for fame and fortune. If you want to really relax, go to the prison!"

"Who?" Zhou Hanguang suddenly covered in cold sweat, and said in horror: "Why do you arrest me, let go quickly, I am a scholar respected by everyone, you can't treat me like this."

"I don't even look in the mirror, what dirty things have I done, just follow me honestly, or I will jump on you now!"

At the same time that Zhou Hanguang was arrested, Chen Yuxiu, Guo Qingren and other five or six professors and scholars were also arrested. This group of literati just started to connect, and then disappeared!

Chapter 714 Burning the Fire to Nanyang

"Hahaha, the literati rebelled and failed in three years. It's just that they failed too quickly, so it's not worth mentioning." Yang Yuting laughed loudly.

Zeng Youyi, who was on the side, said: "Chief of Staff Yang, the strength of literati is not here. Take King Luo Bin as an example. Following Xu Jingye's rebellion, after the defeat, there was no news. It is a vivid example of the failure of the rebellion. As a 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 people who don't know about Sima Qian. Not many people know about Tang Taizong's martial arts skills, but There are quite a few people who can recite Li Du's poems. The literati are a government through the ages, and they may be punished now, but most of them will be notorious in the future."

Speaking of this, Tang Shaoyi took a peek at Zhang Tinglan. He said this because he wanted to remind Zhang Tinglan not to kill all these literati on a whim, otherwise the consequences would be serious.

Zhang Tinglan naturally understood the importance of it. In later generations, after many times of cleaning up, those disciples and grandchildren of literati still jumped out, confusing black and white, and confusing the public.In fact, Zhang Tinglan is also holding a hedgehog in his hand at this time, and there is no way to do it.

If he was killed, he might become Qin Shihuang's second in no time, but if he was released, these people might be able to deceive the public with false rumors.Zhang Tinglan was also a little embarrassed immediately, and he set his eyes on Chang Yinhuai.

Chang Yinhuai had been the spy chief for such a long time, so she didn't understand, and said hastily: "Vice President, I have a suggestion, it's better to temporarily lock these people in Jilin No. [-] Prison, and teach them a little lesson." OK."

Zhang Tinglan didn't understand what Chang Yinhuai meant at first, but then his eyes showed joy.This Jilin Third Prison is very particular.When the Feng army invaded the Korean peninsula, they got back a large amount of uranium ore, and ended up hoarding Jilin, declaring it to be a prison.

There are radioactive substances in uranium ore, if there is too much contact.It will cause cancer, even in future generations, cancer is a terminal illness.If all these people are locked in, it doesn't take too long, three to five months, a year or so, and then they will be released.It can be regarded as a generous government.

After they come out, if they get sick, they have nothing to do with the government. Of course, these guys died earlier, so they can't leave their disciples and grandchildren. Chang Yinhuai came up with this idea.Right in the middle of his arms, Zhang Tinglan showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Director Chang, let you handle this matter."

"Don't worry, the vice president, I promise to do a good job!"

As soon as these literati were taken down, Li Yuanhong hurried over. When he saw Zhang Tinglan, he hurriedly said: "Zhuoyan. I have already said that everything in this capital depends on you. Those literati are simply whimsical. "

"President, don't worry, I have ordered everyone to be arrested. But these people are also famous, and a little punishment is enough. When the matter in front of me is dealt with and I find a chance, I will release them .”

Li Yuanhong nodded again and again: "This is the best. To be honest, I also hate those self-righteous guys, but they are not easy to offend. It is really difficult. Everything depends on the ability of clumsy words."

Zhang Tinglan glanced at Li Yuanhong, this Li Bodhisattva has a simple and honest face, submissive.Like a complete wimp.But since the Republic of China, Li Yuanhong has been like a tumbler. Whoever comes to power has to treat him favorably, except for luck.The ability to adapt to the wind is also first-class.At this time, he pushed the matter to Zhang Tinglan.One is to show his attitude of not fighting for power, and the other is to completely shift the responsibility to Zhang Tinglan.

"President, this case has become clear. The British are behind the scenes, and in the name of the church, they have engaged in a large number of espionage activities that endanger China's security. I have instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to negotiate with the UK and ask them to apologize immediately. In addition, It is also very worth noting that our monitoring of schools is too lax, this must be changed, the government can no longer be passively beaten in the battle of public opinion.”

When Li Yuanhong heard this, he nodded hurriedly: "Zhuoyan is a good suggestion. In fact, I have been annoyed by these literati for many years. If there is a chance, I really need to rectify it."

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 to schools, and a unified national security education class will be set up for students. It also includes society, conduct anti-espionage education, and prevent schools from being manipulated by other forces again."

When she was in opposition, Zhang Tinglan also used student demonstrations to build momentum, but now that she is in her current position, Zhang Tinglan also deeply understands that this kind of demonstration is just a struggle of the weak to the outside, and it is just a meaningless internal friction inside, which must be controlled.Otherwise, no matter what you do, a group of people will always come out to make trouble, so don't even think about doing anything.

Therefore, the necessary authoritarian rule, even dictatorship, is of great significance in the initial stage of national construction and the stage of laying the foundation. In fact, almost all industrial countries rely on strong government power to lead.Germany, Japan, and Russia are all like this, and before the completion of industrialization, universal suffrage is implemented, and the end is likely to be the same as that of Latin American countries.

Of course, China is a very strange country. In fact, from ancient times to the present, China has rarely had a real dictator.It's not that they are humble, but that China is too big and too complicated, relying on the wisdom of one person, it must not be able to handle all aspects of things well.

For Zhang Tinglan, the most ideal political system is to find a balance between development and fairness, to maintain absolute arbitrariness in major events, and to allow various interest groups to fully wrestle in minor matters.

It is precisely because of this consideration that Zhang Tinglan's request is to control the school, but also to reserve some power to speak.Zeng Youyi also implemented Zhang Tinglan's opinion and proposed such a plan. Li Yuanhong had no way to object, so he could only nod in agreement.

Tang Shaoyi also said: "Schools are one aspect. In addition, newspapers and magazines must be controlled. They cannot be allowed to say whatever they want. The government is going to propose a press and publication law to regulate the cultural market. In addition, it will target speech. Publishing, The freedom of demonstrations, associations, etc. must also be controlled. Freedom does not mean that you can do whatever you want, or say whatever you want, especially those celebrities, they must be responsible for their words.”

Control of public opinion.It also didn't cut it across the board, it was directly banned, but it will definitely be subject to various restrictions in the future.The tightness of the shackles is completely in Zhang Tinglan's hands. With the gradual advancement of society, the constraints will be continuously relaxed.Give people more autonomy.

The reason why the era of Beiyang warlords ended was not because they acted arbitrarily and mischievously, but because they were not capable enough to establish a stable social order. After frequent wars, they exhausted their strength.

Of course Zhang Tinglan would not make this mistake.Now that there is an opportunity to suppress the academic world, if you don't make good use of it, you will be remiss. Public opinion, the most effective weapon, must be controlled in your own hands.

"President, in addition to this, I have another request. Cao Kun, the governor of Zhili, is in this chaos. He doesn't want to control his subordinates and share the country's worries, but encourages his subordinates to take the opportunity to fight for pay, willing to act as the leader of the great powers. Accomplices. Then they came forward to instigate the relationship between teachers and students and the government. I think such people can no longer stay in office and must be dismissed. In addition, Wang Huaiqing and Zhang Fulai will also be taken down."

When Li Yuanhong heard this, he was stunned. There was also a conflict between Cao Kun and Li Yuanhong.Li Yuanhong is happy to see Li Yuanhong taken down, but after all, Cao Kun is the leader of the direct line, he has many soldiers, and there is a fierce tiger like Wu Peifu, who is entrenched in the Central Plains. Li Yuanhong didn't dare to be too careless about the big trouble.

Zhang Tinglan suddenly laughed and said, "President, as long as Cao Kun can hand over the Zhili Governor, Wu Peifu can be appointed as the patrol envoy of the Central Plains, in charge of the bandit suppression affairs in Henan and surrounding areas."

Obviously, this is a slap, a sweet date, and Cao Kun's Zhili governor.It means that Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei have completely fallen under the control of Fengjun, and the Zhili has lost its base camp.The impact on the direct lineage is quite huge, and Wu Peifu's promotion can just reduce the resistance of the direct lineage, and Zhang Tinglan's sense of proportion is very good.

"Zhuoyan, you can handle all these things by yourself. In short, I fully support it."

After Li Yuanhong was dealt with, Zhang Tinglan also got Shangfang's sword, just in time to show off his skills. He first ordered Jiang Dengxuan to disarm the troops of Zhang Fulai and Wang Huaiqing.

During the days of handling the case, Jiang Dengxuan led the army to surround the two divisions, only allowed to enter but not to exit.Of course, Zhijun was not convinced by this, and tried to launch an attack to break Fengjun's blockade, but they were all beaten back by Fengjun, and there was a bloodbath.

Those literati still want to point out that these two divisions pose a threat to Fengjun, but it is completely wishful thinking. Whether it is equipment or training, Fengjun has pulled the domestic army far away. Morale also reached its peak, and Zhijun was not taken seriously at all.

After receiving the order, Jiang Dengxuan immediately took decisive action. The two divisions blocked in the barracks honestly handed over their weapons, and these soldiers fell into the hands of Feng Jun.
