Beiyang reactionaries

Maybe Weng Jingtang is crazy. He wants the truth and dares to send investigation letters to those KMT bosses.But Dong Kang is not crazy, Duan Xun is not crazy.

How could it be possible for the KMT's top leaders to come over to receive questions.

Therefore, these cases are just a lot of thunder and little rain.

From the beginning, Duan Xun never thought about actually solving these cases.Because that is impossible, Duan Xun just used those cases to get involved with the Kuomintang, and pointed the finger at Sun Yat-sen.

good results.

People are like that.

Sometimes there is conclusive evidence and conclusive cases that everyone is not interested in.On the contrary, they are more interested in such vague cases, and public opinion prefers to analyze such cases.Everyone regarded themselves as detectives and analyzed the case.If someone deliberately guides them, then they really think they know the truth and start reporting non-stop.

But when the heat of these cases is over, Duan Xun will close such cases and will not continue to investigate.

Because this kind of political assassination involves too many people, it should not be expanded.Maybe Duan Xun's approach is very criticized, but Duan Xun only needs the influence brought by the case, not the truth of the case.Duan Xun will never be a brave "Don Quixote".

However, although Duan Xun does not want to continue digging into the things behind these cases, it does not mean that the Kuomintang will be let go.

During this period of time, there were many criticisms against Sun Yat-sen himself.Many heavyweights have stood up.For Tao Chengzhang's case, Zhang Taiyan ended in person, scolding the KMT bloody.

Also because of Tang Hualong's case, Liang Qichao also criticized the Kuomintang in newspapers.Both of them were influential figures in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and their every move attracted the attention of the whole country.The two of them were not just discussing the facts, but directly pointed the finger at Sun Yat-sen.

However, some tabloids directly criticized Sun Yat-sen's private life.

Wang Yitang has been preparing for so long, how can he be satisfied just by solving the Guangdong army.Therefore, he tried his best to beat the Kuomintang, and then concentrated his firepower to attack Sun Yat-sen.

you could put it that way.

Since Sun Yat-sen's revolution, including the Manchu Qing government and the Beiyang government of Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui, they have not concentrated their firepower on Sun Yat-sen.During more than half a year, Sun Yat-sen was criticized the most in his life.Even among the students, there are a large number of people who doubt Sun Yat-sen.Wang Yitang is chasing and fighting fiercely, and he must trample the Kuomintang on the ground.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Justice suddenly pointed the finger at Zhang Xun's restoration.

It's got everyone's attention.

The previous case, the Shandong issue, was all attracted by the sudden appearance of the "restoration case".Because many people did not expect that the Beijing government had gone crazy, and suddenly began to investigate the restoration of Zhang Xun.It's been more than four years, almost five years.

Zhang Xun has retired for so many years, do you still want to arrest the old man Zhang Xun and fail to judge him?

"How did you check?"

After the Ministry of Justice investigated the restoration case, Duan Xun immediately summoned Shi Tiyuan, the director of the first intelligence department.This is the earliest intelligence agency established by Duan Xun. This intelligence agency was established in Sichuan just after the War to Protect the Nation.

Its original purpose was simple.

against each warlord.

As for the various forces in the country, no one is clearer than the Intelligence Department.At the beginning, the Intelligence Department established many institutions in those warlord troops and provinces controlled by warlords.Up to now, Duan Xun has mainly relied on information on people like Lu Yongxiang, Zhang Zuolin, and Yan Xishan.

"Prime Minister, here is the information you want."

Duan Xun took over.

As early as the beginning of the year, Duan Xun had asked the intelligence department to collect the property information of the Qing royal family and clan, as well as the property information of those Beiyang warlords who had gone to the field.This even includes the property of Duan Qirui and Cao Kun.

It's not that Duan Xun wants to seize their property, but that Duan Xun wants to know it well.

And those warlords who went to the field, if they were honest, Duan Xun would not pursue them.After all, everyone has the same roots, and Duan Xun can't do too much.There are many high-ranking officials on my side, who are inextricably linked to these Beiyang warlords who have gone to the wild.Even if it is to stabilize the political situation, Duan Xun will not pursue it too much.But if they are dishonest, don't blame Duan Xun for being a villain.

So even if they have left the field, Duan Xun still monitors them.

"Are you sure these lands still belong to them?"

"Yes."

Shi Tiyuan nodded.

He took out another document and said to Duan Xun: "Manchu Qing clan has a lot of land and the land of the Eight Banners, especially in Zhili, Shandong, and Henan. Large tracts of land belong to them. This is for them. Statistical report of the land. According to the laws of the Republic of China, the ownership of these lands is in their hands. But later these lands were divided up by the people who managed the land below, and some were occupied by the generals of the Beiyang Army in the early years. Many of these clans were frightened after the Revolution of [-] , although his own land was embezzled by his original servants, who dare not claim that these things are his own, so he can only go to the concession. So legally, these lands do belong to them. After all, Yuan Xiangcheng (Yuan Shikai) Signing a contract with the royal family shows the obedience of the imperial family and domineering private property."

Duan Xun took it and took a deep breath after reading it.

Although I thought about the huge assets of these clans and the Eight Banners, it still made Duan Xun very frightened.Because the various properties of the clan and the Eight Banners that Duan Xun is staring at now alone have more than 2000 million mu of land.

How much land is there in the country now.According to the current statistical results, the country's farmland is about 13 billion mu.There's also a lot of wasteland, and no man's land.But these few clans and the Eight Banners alone have more than 2000 million mu of land, which is really amazing.The land alone is worth hundreds of millions.

And these lands are scattered in places like Beijing, Zhili, Shandong, and Henan.

If these lands can be taken back legally and controlled by the government, it will definitely be an important asset.And because the land involved is too complicated, the agricultural taxation is not favorable.After all, the officials of the Beiyang government were from the Manchu Qing army and had a deep relationship with the high-level Manchu Qing.Therefore, it is not good to be too mandatory for the taxation of these lands.They even "swallowed" the land of the clan and the Eight Banners together.

2000 million mu of land, maybe even more than this.

Because of the clan and the Eight Banners, in addition to staking land in the early days of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, they also bought a lot of land one after another later.Of course, there are also some people who sold the land left to them by their ancestors.

But overall it is still increasing.

If so much land can be taken back by the government, then the government can lease the land to tenants. With the addition of agricultural tax, the annual income will be greatly increased.

"it is good."

Duan Xun put down the documents in his hands, and said, "Leave this matter alone, and I will hand over the rest of the work to other departments for follow-up. I have important things for you to take charge of now."

"Prime Minister, please speak."

"The Ministry of Justice has recently investigated the restoration case, and the results will be available soon. At that time, we will sign a new agreement with the imperial family. The Manchu imperial family must leave the Forbidden City and find a place to live by themselves. My request is that the Manchu imperial family only It may be to take away some of their private property, but they are not allowed to take away things from the Forbidden City. I will set up a cultural relics sorting committee of the Forbidden City to inventory the cultural relics in the Forbidden City."

Shi Tiyuan listened quietly.

He didn't find anything to do with himself, or with the intelligence department.

"I want your people to go in and take part in sorting out the cultural relics."

"Prime Minister, I don't understand."

"Leave the issue of relics to experts in this field. I will gather experts from all over the country to sort out the items in the Forbidden City as soon as possible. The task I want to give you is that your people are responsible for registering these items. And when registering these things, your people did some tricks for me. The cultural relics recognized as national treasures by cultural relics experts, all the cultural relics with high evaluations were recorded truthfully, and they were publicized as public files, which were to be released to the whole country. Treasures, none of them are national treasures. I’m just talking about the importance. But there are some things that are not the best, or things that can be found outside, and register them in another booklet.”

Shi Tiyuan was startled, and even felt his body break out in a cold sweat.

He really didn't want to listen to it, and he didn't even want to participate.Making another booklet is to hide some cultural relics, and Duan Xun wants to swallow it himself.Although Duan Xun said that they are some unimportant cultural relics, none of them can be placed in the Forbidden City without a background.Those who can even enter the Forbidden City are all diluted treasures.

How much will Duan Xun hide?

Shi Tiyuan was really angry about this kind of thing, but also a little scared.

Shi Tiyuan followed Duan Xun not for a day or two, but for many years.In recent years, Duan Xun is different from other warlords. He has never heard of embezzlement of military pay, nor of swallowing financial funds.It is precisely because of this that Duan Xun was able to defeat one warlord after another.

But?

Sure enough, people change.
