"President, I propose to enact an anti-secession law in Congress as soon as possible, and severely punish those who put forward harmful claims such as federal self-government according to the law!"

Zhang Tinglan's proposal was full of murderous intent. In fact, no matter how many propositions Zhang Tinglan put forward, it was his personal opinion.But once it becomes a law, it rises to the will of the state, and the weight is completely different.

Liang Qichao nodded quickly when he heard it and said: "The Congress will start to make arrangements immediately, and this law will definitely be brought out as soon as possible. But before that, I suggest that in the name of Congress, issue a statement of condemnation, so that these people in the South People rein in the precipice."

After a meeting, everyone has read too much through Zhang Tinglan's statement. This young military and political strongman will not implement a federal system, let alone decentralize power easily. On the contrary, he will establish an unprecedented A strong central government centralizes all kinds of power.

After a period of thinking about how to manage this country, Zhang Tinglan already has her own ideas, and the core idea is still military authoritarian rule.This kind of system is also the most suitable choice for cohesive forces of all parties in the stage of industrialization of the country.

In order to maintain its ability to control the country, the New Democratic Party must also develop. It can follow the example of the Italian National Fascist Party, the mustache Nazi Party, and even the Russian majority party, using the strength of the party to unite the country together.Zhang Tinglan even planned to give the New Democratic Party a certain amount of armed force in the name of the SS.

Of course, Zhang Tinglan, who is in control of the military and political power, is not prepared to rely entirely on his own arbitrariness. The Congress still has to be retained. In fact, the same is true for Nazi Germany, and the Congress has not been completely abolished.In addition, the cabinet must maintain its independence so that it can formulate development plans more flexibly and implement various measures.

The occurrence of this incident in the south is both a challenge and an opportunity. Zhang Tinglan is ready to make good use of it, and according to her own vision, it will completely change the country.

The calls for inter-provincial self-government are getting louder and louder, and the warlords in the Yangtze River Basin have expressed their views one after another, demanding that the government respect public opinion.But at this lively moment, a basin of cold water was poured down the face.

On behalf of the National Assembly, Liang Qichao issued a brilliant condemnation, accusing the advocacy of inter-provincial autonomy as splitting the country and trying to make China repeat the mistakes of the late Han and late Tang. Any voice advocating inter-provincial autonomy is dangerous. The government will take firm and effective action against such voices.

As soon as this statement came out, the south immediately exploded. Some people felt strong anger and chose to die down. Of course, some people saw that the plot was exposed, and they were ready to take tough measures and use force to fight for self-government. that power.

Immediately, a large number of people found Zhang Jian, the famous number one industrialist, and asked him to come out and serve as the chairman of the Southeast Lian Provincial Assembly. As a banner, he called on the celebrities in the south to oppose Zhang Tinglan.

In addition, Jiangsu Governor Qi Xieyuan, Jiangxi Governor Cai Chengxun, Hunan Governor Zhao Hengti and others also gathered in Nanjing one after another. Facing the talents from all walks of life in the southern province, Qi Xieyuan and others were also full of ambition.

"Everyone, we are pursuing inter-provincial autonomy and managing ourselves. This is the trend of the times and the experience of advanced countries. The reason why the north opposes it is nothing more than coveting the wealth of the southern province and wanting to take it for ourselves. We should unite for our own sake. interests, to fight."

Qi Xieyuan's speech was unanimously cheered by other people. They hung up the new Lian Provincial Assembly sign in Nanjing.

As soon as they put up the sign, Zhang Tinglan got the report. After receiving the telegram, Zhang Tinglan only said one sentence to the people below: "The North-South War is inevitable!"

Chapter 721 All Actions

"Yisheng, what do you think of Liang Qichao's condemnation letter?" Yan Xishan couldn't help asking while sitting under the dim light.

Fu Zuoyi said without hesitation: "Commander, Liang Qichao's attitude is Zhang Tinglan's attitude. I think they will never tolerate and condone their claim of inter-provincial autonomy."

Yan Xishan nodded and said with a smile: "Not only will he not tolerate and condone, but he will even kill them all!"

Yan Xishan let out a long sigh: "I have just been notified by several members of Shanxi Province that it is said that the National Congress will formulate an anti-secession law, and claims such as inter-provincial self-government will be treated as treason."

Hearing Yan Xishan's words, Fu Zuoyi was also stunned. It's not a small matter where the word "treason" is placed. At this point, it means that there is no room for maneuver. Either the South will surrender, or the North and the South will fight. field.

When the north and the south clash together, when the various factions stand in line, Yan Xishan has to weigh it over and over again, and Yan Laoxi also feels that this matter is completely different from previous wars.

The biggest difference is that Zhang Tinglan throws out the weapon of law. The knowledge in it is too great. Law is the will of the country, and it is completely two-level thing with the opinions of politicians.

"Yisheng, how do you think the Jin army should choose?"

Fu Zuoyi thought for a while, and then said: "Marshal, in terms of strength, Fengjun's combat power is definitely not comparable to that of the local chickens and dogs in the south. Once the army passes by, the south may collapse, so I advocate supporting Fengjun , Let’s crusade against the South together!”

Yan Xishan smiled wryly: "Yisheng, things are not that simple. Zhang Tinglan declared war on the federal province. What do you think Shanxi is?"

Hearing this, Fu Zuoyi broke out in a cold sweat.Since the Republic of China, Shanxi has been among the major factions.Formed into a family of its own, after Yan Xishan's painstaking efforts, Shanxi has become an independent kingdom.If it is said that Hunan and other places are calling for federal-provincial self-government, then what Yan Xishan has done is to put this idea into practice.

One is talking but not doing, and the other is doing but not talking. The difference between the two is so interesting. If Zhang Tinglan even wants to clean up those who call for inter-provincial autonomy, then how will Yan Xishan, the king of Shanxi, deal with himself!

Think here.How can Fu Zuoyi not be afraid, he can only say: "It's stupid to be humble. When the commander said this, I realized that if the Fengjun kills the South, it will definitely clean up Shanxi. As the saying goes, we should secretly support the South. And Feng Fight to the end."

Yan Xishan shook his head again: "Yisheng, we know that the south is not our opponent, and we go to follow him to death. Isn't it too much to say? To be honest, I knew when I heard that the anti-secession law was going to be enacted. Pictured by Zhang Tinglan Very big, he is going to cut down the feudal clan. Just look at the three provinces in the east and the northwest. Under Zhang Tinglan’s rule, the military and the government are separated, and they are neatly separated. The Caotou King will definitely not be allowed to exist!”

Fu Zuoyi also nodded: "The commander-in-chief sees brilliantly, but can we just sit and wait?"

Yan Xishan sat blankly for a while, and then said: "Yisheng, resisting is death, sitting and waiting for death is also death, for the present plan, there is only one way to survive."

"What should I do?"

"I'll announce the telegram immediately, please come to Beijing!" Yan Xishan said firmly.

Fu Zuoyi never expected that Yan Xishan would make such a decision, and hurriedly said: "Commander, if you go this way, people will be the sword and I will be the fish. The dragon will leave the sea, and the tiger will leave the mountains, but you will be bullied."

Yan Xishan shook his head in pain: "Zhang Tinglan has the whole world in his heart, so he can't tolerate me."

At this moment, Yan Xishan's adjutant ran in hastily, with a layer of sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, something is wrong. On the front line of Xinkou, Fengjun's Mongolian Legion appeared. It seems that they want to use the mountain to go south!"

Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of horror. This is a false way to destroy Guo!

"There is no longer any delay, turn on the power immediately, and I will go to Beijing immediately!"

……

The situation between the North and the South is repeated three times a day. Since Liang Qichao issued a statement of condemnation, in less than ten days, the Anti-Secession Law was forcibly passed in the National Assembly.On the day of the vote, Zhang Tinglan even dispatched the military and police with live ammunition, and martial law was imposed inside and outside the Congress.

This law was passed without exception, but there were also a group of congressmen who felt strong dissatisfaction. A total of 110 three southern congressmen fled to Tianjin and issued a telegram in the public concession, requesting respect for the demands of the southern province and agreeing to the request for inter-provincial self-government. Then return to the country of origin.

Just as they were going south, Tang Shaoyi, on behalf of the cabinet, issued a nationwide arrest warrant for these congressmen. This was the first time that the Anti-Secession Law came into effect.

The government can pass laws and seize the moral high ground. These guys in the south are not stupid. Jiangsu governor Qi Xieyuan, Jiangxi governor Cai Chengxun, and Hubei governor Xiao Yaonan jointly issued a telegram, deciding to implement mutual protection in the southern provinces and jointly safeguard the rights of the people.

Zhang Tinglan, who was in Beijing, burst out laughing angrily after receiving their call: "These guys don't even look in the mirror, they still want to learn about Li Hongzhang's past. Do they have the weight?"

Yang Yuting also laughed and said: "Indeed, they are too overconfident, but in the end they are still young, the most important thing is to look at a person's attitude."

"Wu Peifu!" Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting said in unison.

"It is reasonable to say that the veterans of the direct line who jumped out this time, Wu Peifu, the actual leader of the direct line, should stand up and support them, but Wu Peifu has not made a clear statement, which is really worth pondering."

"It may be more powerful to attract but not to send out. No matter what Wu Peifu thinks, we must beware of this fierce tiger."

While talking, Yuan Jinkai walked in quickly, holding a telegram in his hand, and said with a smile: "Vice President, good news has come, someone has voluntarily surrendered!"

"Who is so knowledgeable?"

Zhang Tinglan accepted the telegram with a smile, and when he saw the signature on the bottom, his face brightened immediately: "I really didn't expect that this Yan Laoxi could do such a thing. It's really a bit surprising!"

Yang Yuting also took the telegram, and after looking at it twice, he also smiled and said: "This guy is really cunning, but he knows how to sell himself for a good price."

Zhang Tinglan has long wanted to cut down the vassal. Not only the mountain kings in the south, but also the northwest and southwest are actually within the scope of consideration. It's just that the food needs to be eaten bite by bite. Zhang Tinglan didn't rush to do it. Unexpectedly, Yan Xishan could see After this move, come here ahead of time.

"Thousands of gold buy horse bones, I have to treat this Yan Laoxi kindly!" Zhang Tinglan also laughed: "In this case, I will appoint him as the commander-in-chief of the Western Front Army, and lead the army to stock up in southern Shanxi to guard against Wu Peifu in Henan."

Yang Yuting also nodded hastily, and immediately went down to deal with it.

Zhang Tinglan was also a little surprised that Yan Xishan was so obedient. It seems that the evergreen tree of the Republic of China did have something extraordinary. If he sincerely took refuge in him, he might be of great use in the future.You must know that under the rule of Yan Xishan, Shanxi was a model province in the Republic of China, with a literacy rate of over 70.00%.It can be said that Yan Laoxi still has two talents in terms of people's livelihood and economy, which can be regarded as very rare talents among warlords.

Now that Yan Xishan is on his side, it is tantamount to closing half of Wu Peifu's gate to the north. As long as the Luhan Railway is guarded again, Wu Peifu's threat will disappear, so that the Feng army can concentrate its forces and go south along Jinpu Road. Seize Nanjing and end the farce in the south in one fell swoop.
