When two groups of people meet, there is no second word, and they merge into one.Finally, at noon, the horse team arrived at the special pier by the Hai River.

Since the traversers started to develop locally, many public and private piers have appeared along the banks of the Haihe River for dozens of miles.

Among them, the one with the largest throughput and occupied area is undoubtedly the public wharf with steam equipment installed.Secondly, there are several passenger terminals dedicated to "Haoziying" outside the city.

Today, the horse team went to the military-only pier not far from the passenger terminal.

As the name suggests, military-only docks are mostly only used by military and police special systems.Of course, the most important reception work here is always for those who travel through time.

Today is no exception.

Facing the distinguished guests who were about to land, two of the so-called Big Three in the north greeted them in person, which showed grandeur.

When the two big men came to the pier, there were already many people here ahead of time.This includes quite a few traversers in Tianjin, as well as their teams.

This extremely rare scene of picking up the station made the participants inexplicably excited.

As a result, the military pier, which used to be considered deserted, became bustling.Soon, the attendants from various departments lined up and put on a warm welcome.

...The so-called "Northern Trio" has long since become a synonym for the northern military and political system.I also want to know that the time-traveling forces have spread such a large booth in various parts of the north, and there are no less than hundreds of thousands of people directly under them. How could it be possible that three time-travelers are in charge.

In fact, over the past few years, even if we only talk about Beijing and Tianjin, the total number of travellers who act as experts and managers in various industries has already reached as many as 40 to [-].

The attendants who were able to go to the pier today belong to the core aboriginal level, so everyone is very excited... After all, to be able to stand here is to have crossed a certain hidden threshold.

For example, Ha Liu was in the opposite array and saw the Tianjin station agent Huo Gui just mentioned.

He extended his hand in a friendly greeting, and Ha Liu obediently led his horse back to an inconspicuous position in the back row of the team.

The reason why he stands here is not because Ha Liu doesn't like to show off, but because he has other targets to observe: not far from the Haoziying Wharf next door, there is a big ship, which has been fired and pressurized, and billowing black cigarette.

There was a long queue, and the passengers who boarded the ship along the steps were uniformly dressed in blue denim overalls and cotton short-brimmed hats.

These people are obviously not civilians who went south to work.When many people boarded the ship, they would have physical conflicts with the surrounding security personnel.Of course, this kind of behavior has no other benefits except for a meal of sticks. After being beaten, they will still be thrown into the hold.

Watching the familiar Taihang heroes being driven into the cabin like a donkey, even though Haliu has good eyesight, he couldn't find his elder brother among the crowd dressed in exactly the same way.

In the end, Ha Liu could only turn his head back to the direction of the sea... The crowd was already restless, and the boat had arrived.

Slowly stopping at the pier was an inland river boat that was emitting smoke.

This is common pick-up procedure.The big ships coming from afar will berth at the mouth of the Haihe River, and then the passengers will transfer to inland river boats to go back to Tianjin.

Not long after, amidst polite applause, a tall and thin distinguished guest who was over forty years old and wearing a woolen overcoat was the first to come out of the cabin.

The latest interior minister of Great Yan State: Feng Jun.

As the first group of time-travelers, Feng Jun has huge influence in the system, is the core policy maker, and a person with real power in the time-travelers.

In the early days of crossing, this gentleman, as a great monk, created a smuggling system with Hangzhou Moyun Temple as the core.Afterwards, Feng Jun set up a framework for the entire time-traveling forces to absorb the population in Daming, and established an early education system.

Relying on his huge influence within the time-traveling crowd, Feng Jun has never left the central decision-making circle from the beginning to the end. After the "founding of the People's Republic of China", he was included in the two cabinets.

In the cabinet change two years ago, Feng Jun, who was transferred from the cabinet member and education minister to the interior minister, has once again been promoted in power.Next, after spending almost a year straightening out the internal affairs of the Great Yan Kingdom, Feng Jun finally started his own research journey.

After running back and forth in the south for almost a year, Feng Jun finally set off a few days ago and arrived at the last stop he had planned: the north.

He lowered his head and got out of the cabin. After seeing the "huge" pick-up team at the pier, Feng Jun's face, which looked fair, couldn't help turning black.

After a few steps down the board, Feng Jun shook hands with Yao Jianshe who came up, and said with a smile: "Old Yao, brothers, you are giving me eye drops, it's such a big show."

"Where."

Yao Jianshe smiled all over his face: "It's all spontaneous, spontaneous... Who told us that the bumpkins in the north have never seen such a big official as you, Lao Feng. To be honest, brothers, they are indeed a little excited!"

"Don't pay attention to the situation in the north... This is all the insinuation of the cabinet." Feng Jun couldn't help smiling when he heard the words: "Okay, okay, that's right, now I don't have any pressure."

While talking and joking, Mr. Feng Jun and Feng Ge shook the hands of the passers-by one by one, then boarded the carriage with Yao and Zhang, and drove to the camp.

Chapter 694 The Daily Life of the Northern Trio ([-])

In the evening, the third division guest house, a small restaurant.

More than a dozen people who work locally in Tianjin, held a banquet to welcome Mr. Feng Jun and Feng Ge.

After a few hours of rest, Mr. Feng Ge's energy was obviously much better than that at noon, and he talked and laughed happily during the meeting, and he was able to handle it with ease.

Landlords here are not stage-frightened, there is also wine, drinking and talking during the banquet.

This time, although the posture on the surface was that the local officials respectfully welcomed the visit of the superior.But in fact, because of the special internal time-traveling system, coupled with the roughness necessary in the early days of all regimes, in places where there are only time-travelers, everyone can basically communicate on an equal footing.

Feng Jun is also very adaptable to this situation.He traveled all the way to the north, not to read official articles, but just needed to communicate more about the actual situation with his own people.

Rambling all over the place.A group of people at the meeting pulled from the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway in the north to the high-speed clipper boat in the south, and then talked about fishing in Zhangzi Island in the north from the slave hunting in Nanyang, and finally, from the "Northern Emperor" to the "Southern Emperor". Concubine selection activities... In short, the middle-aged men who drank two sips of wine, regardless of time and space, regardless of location, have the same virtue.

If so, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, it is not until the time when the lights are lighted that the feast is considered to be over.Master Pudu, who used to have a dignified appearance, now has a bright red face and the smell of alcohol, and probably can't remember the Buddha's teachings.

Next, taking advantage of everyone's presence, Feng Jun and everyone sitting here finalized the visiting time one by one.

The investigation starting tomorrow is an important matter for Feng Jun's trip to the north this time.In this age, there is no means of instant communication, and it is rare that so many people gather in Tianjin through time travel, so Feng Jun talked about work at the end of the banquet.

After finalizing the itinerary, the banquet is considered a victory.The smiling Feng Ge stood at the door of the restaurant, shaking hands and saying goodbye one by one, giving the brothers enough face.

Half an hour later, the small second floor in the backyard of the guest house.

A short waiter, wearing a hand-embroidered cotton jacket with a cross-breasted national style, stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the tin box in the buzzing tea room.

The iron box with a steam pipe behind it, when the lid was lifted, a thick white mist rose immediately.

Picking up the electroplating clip on the side, the waiter quickly picked up a few white cotton towels in the steam and put them on the tray in his hand.

The next moment, the waiter carrying the tray started to walk across the corridor.

The short waiter, the first group of people encountered in the corridor, were two ordinary-looking plainclothes agents with buns and traditional short brown clothes.These two didn't seem to care who was passing by in front of them, but leaned against the door frame, their eyebrows were raised, and they were chatting quietly about something.

However, at the moment the waiter walked by, two pairs of sharp eyes inadvertently looked him up and down.

Next, in the middle of the corridor, the waiter encountered two guards.

The guards in regular military uniforms, with short guns in their waists, were straight and straight, looking as old as ever in a military posture.

Finally, at the end of the corridor, the door of the executive suite.

Two tall Secret Service agents in woolen coats, with cold faces, reached out to pick up the steaming towels in the tray, and after checking, the waiter was allowed to enter the door.

The executive suite of the Master Guest House is full of strong taste of the times: old-fashioned sofa covered with white gauze towel, wood-carved washstand, and enamel washbasin.On the wooden cabinet at the side, there is a red Double Happiness enamel plate with a circle of glass teacups inside, and two iron-cased kettles next to it.

When the waiter came in, Feng Jun, Zhang Zhongqi, and Yao Jianshe were drinking tea to sober up on the sofa in the outer room.Seeing the hot towels coming, Feng Jun immediately grabbed one and wiped his face vigorously.

"Call..."

After wiping his face, spit out alcohol, and drank two sips of strong tea, Feng Jun felt much clearer: "I'm here in the north this time, for personal work, mainly for research, you all know that."

After reading the opening remarks, Mr. Ge finally got down to business: "In addition, I was entrusted by the cabinet with regard to the establishment of the city of Tianjin. I am here this time, and I will deal with it together. You should hurry up and send a telegram in the next two days. Make a statement."

When Zhang Zhongqi heard the topic of Jianshi, a snicker slipped across his face. He bent down and picked a candied date from the coffee table in front of him with a toothpick, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed, and squinted at Yao Jianshe. Lively posture.

Regarding the establishment of Tianjin as a city, in fact, this issue had already been put on the agenda as early as the year before last.

The reason is very reasonable and logical: the plate is too big, and various administrative units must be formalized to manage it.

Originally, this was a logical upgrade process.There is no suspense about the first mayor: the oldest trio, Xue Haiyuan is in the capital, Zhang Zhongqi focuses on the military, and the only one who can seamlessly take over is Yao Jianshe.

However, this incident caused strong discomfort within the General Intelligence Bureau.Because the General Intelligence Bureau discovered that due to the characteristics of intelligence personnel’s latent accumulation and establishment of networks in advance, a new trend has emerged in recent years: whenever a new site needs to be established, the spy chief who is familiar with the local situation is often asked by the cabinet to change jobs in the same place.

In fact, the secret service chiefs don't care about this kind of thing, and the station master is not as prestigious as the mayor, isn't he?

But the General Intelligence Bureau can't stand it!Is the spy chief so easy to train?

So, taking advantage of the establishment of a city in a major northern town, the General Intelligence Bureau launched an "anti-bullying" campaign at the core level of the special zone, wrangling with the cabinet for a whole year, and finally brought the lawsuit to Emperor Cao.

According to the gossip that Zhang Zhongqi heard from the military department, Mr. Feng Ge, who is sitting here today, is one of the main players in the ring with the General Intelligence Bureau.

Fortunately, Emperor Cao was in charge after all.In the end, under the mediation of the emperor, the General Intelligence Bureau accepted the exchange of "one out, two in". It was regarded as a training fee, and a solution was drawn up for this kind of thing.

But today, when I heard Feng Jun officially talk about this matter, it has nothing to do with me. Zhang Zhongqi, who has been watching the excitement, knows that the drama is coming.Now it depends on how the person concerned, the old comrade-in-arms sitting across from him, and the old spy leader Yao Jianshe who started the business together made his statement.

Yao Jianshe looked calm.

In fact, Yao Jianshe spent several days communicating with the rear General Administration by telegram after the previous "imperial decision".

Therefore, in fact, before Feng Jun arrived in Tianjin, he had already communicated with the General Administration on this matter, and had already made a final decision.

Therefore, Yao Jianshe said steadily: "I am willing to accept the post of mayor of Tianjin."

Yao Jianshe's statement means that from this moment on, he has left the constitutional system and transferred to the government system.

"Hehe, that's right, very good."

Master Feng showed a compassionate and happy expression on his face: "When we are in our position, we must always put the overall situation first! We must have the stars and the sea in our eyes, and if we can't just travel for a few years, we are all sects everywhere...Especialism! "

Here Zhang Zhongqi saw that his old friend had finally come to this point, even though he knew the ending long ago, he still leaned over and patted his old friend on the arm as a sign of encouragement.

"Then it's settled, and this matter should be done quickly."

Master Feng gave a few words of guidance from a high-level view, and then he remembered the practice: "Tomorrow, you send a telegram to the cabinet, and submit the list of recommendations for other positions by the way, and see if there is any reply... If there is not much difference, pick a date, and we will simply set up a new one. I will cut the ribbon for the opening ceremony of the Yamen."

These are all the meanings in the question. Yao Jianshe had already prepared for it, so he nodded and agreed.

"Very well, let's talk about the last thing." A few words understood a long-standing matter, and Feng Ge was in a better mood.The next moment, he turned his head, leaned forward, stared into the eyes of Zhang Zhongqi, the melon eater, and asked word by word: "Mr. Zhang, I am entrusted by the cabinet to formally question you."

"About this year's gold strategy...what do you think?"

"what!?"

Zhang Zhongqi, who was unprepared, was dumbfounded by the sudden cross-examination.After stammering twice, he finally said: "Well... this is not a matter of the General Staff"

"Don't mention the general staff." Feng Jun interrupted Zhang Zhongqi impatiently: "I am asking the front-line commanders on behalf of the cabinet today. Just say what you have."

With just a few efforts, Zhang Zhongqi finally managed to recover, and understood Feng Jun's sudden and sinister intentions: "Hmph, it's another way of trying to sow discord, you bastard officials!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongqi honestly stated his opinion in accordance with the unified caliber of the military: "I personally agree with the general staff. I think we should take this opportunity to attack with all our strength, and solve the main force of the post-golden army in one fell swoop. Golden regime."

Just this year, 1636, something big happened.

Historically, in May not long after, the Great Khan of the Later Jin Kingdom, Aixinjueluo Huang Taiji, proclaimed himself emperor and changed his Yuan to Chongde. The family name was changed to "Manchuria"; the capital was Shenyang, and the name was changed to Shengjing.All the ministers are honored as "Emperor Kuan Wen Ren Sheng."

In other words, "My Great Qing", which is familiar to later generations, officially entered the stage of history this year, and "Qing Army" has become an official title.

One month after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, on May [-]th in history, Emperor Chongde Huang Taiji sent [-] troops from the Eight Banners to attack the Ming Dynasty.In July, the Qing army entered Beijing, captured Changping, Shunyi and other places, and besieged the capital again.

In this battle, the Qing army lasted for several months and conquered twelve cities in Ming Dynasty. They won all 56 battles and captured 17 people and animals. Countless people were massacred!

As for the foresighted traversing crowd, they have already started a fierce game internally regarding this incident.

The quick-decision faction headed by the military faced the slow-movement faction headed by cabinet members, and the two sides were arguing endlessly.Today, the war has actually extended to the northern front.

"Hmph, not bad, we agree."

Finding that his sudden attack didn't work, Mr. Feng Ge sneered and leaned back on the sofa: "The people in your army are really united!"

Mr. Zhang, who was a little embarrassed, was upset when he saw the boss, so he could only turn his head and look at his old partner as if asking for help.

However, Yao Jianshe, who was only responsible for providing information and had nothing to do with the grand strategy, who had just quit the government system, bent down at this time, picked a jujube with a toothpick and stuffed it into his mouth, as if to watch the excitement.

"useless!"

After Feng Jun sneered twice, he wiped his short beard with a leisurely expression, and then said with a half-smile: "Mr. Zhang, even if you follow your script, don't you think it's a bit late?"

Zhang Zhongqi sighed.

To this day, there has been no movement in the matter of the North Prisoners, and he actually has a premonition that the military cannot handle the cabinet.Sure enough... If civil servants want to play with these Qiu Ba, it is really Tai Chi that is closed, and the problem is solved with one easy move to cut off the food.

Chapter 695 The Daily Life of the Northern Trio ([-])

All in all, the decision-making framework of the Great Yan State built by the crossing crowd has been running smoothly so far, and there have been no major problems.

Although most of them were dicks during their lifetime, thanks to the advancement of information in later generations, they have seen so many political systems around the world, and everyone understands them to some extent.

The so-called learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses.In this seventeenth-century plane where the people's wisdom is still undeveloped, after the initial adaptation period, the traversers quickly got on a ride. From a small force in a place, it swelled like a balloon into a giant.

Compared with all the political forces in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, the newly born Dayan regime can be regarded as the start of Tianhu.

The billowing wealth spewed out by the steam machinery allows the rulers to use it freely without fear of trial and error... The hardworking natives only want food and a job to support their families.Citizens of later generations have many demands, and if they disagree with each other, they will take to the streets... This is not popular in this era.

The country established by the people across the country does not need to offer huge welfare subsidies to the citizens in exchange for votes, nor does it need to carry tens of trillions of debts.There is neither the current administrative pressure nor the heavy historical burden, and there is a vast world to be developed to release the contradictions of the future society.

In this vigorous and rejuvenated situation, the cabinet with the highest actual power is really as stable as Mount Tai, and its authority is growing... There will never be a decadent situation where cabinet ministers frequently run away and the prime minister changes people.

It is also for this reason that Zhang Zhongqi, the commander of the Third Division, who was far away on the northern front, was not optimistic about the military and the cabinet from the very beginning, and there was a fight over the northern captives.

Although there is also a minister of defense among the cabinet ministers, but after all, he is alone and alone.Besides, this time the military's appeal is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood, as well as the general trend of the country's strategic direction. It is not at all a matter of how many cabinet supporters there are.

"Old Zhang, you are also aware of the current situation. It is not the time to be impulsive. We are all expensive and the masters of the country. We must look at things from the perspective of the overall situation."
