Chapter 28 Pushing Hands
"If I were still in North Korea..."
Sitting in the galloping car, as he passed by the square, looking at the young people and workers who were still demonstrating, the people in the car frowned and then hummed.
If they were still in North Korea, on the first day of their demonstration, they would be dispersed by the lead-whide batons of the military and police. All the leaders will be secretly arrested one by one, and then tortured in the gendarmerie headquarters. After getting the information they need, they will be shot directly in the dungeon, and the body will be killed that night. After being sent to the cremation room and burning, the ashes will be thrown directly into the Han River. Those people will not exist at all, and even their files can't be seen in the gendarmerie headquarters. They seem to have never existed in this world.
Iron wrist, the iron fist can eliminate all dissatisfaction invisibly, but this is China, China's Yanjing Nanjing, not North Korea, let alone Seoul!
Although he was distressed, Yuan Shikai knew that he had no right to disperse them at all. As long as their behavior did not violate the law, the demonstrations they launched would be protected by the Constitution.
Of course, even His Majesty did not give an iron fist to the demonstrators, let alone Yuan Shikai.
What's more, even if Yuan Shikai had the intention to suppress it, he could not mobilize the army at all. Not to mention the army, even the police of the Yanjing Police Department, he had no right to order them to wave batons at the marchers, let alone arresting the leader.
"Liang Zhuoru!"
He scolded in his heart with hatred. Yuan Shikai's eyes flashed with anger. The pusher behind this matter was not Yang Du. When he first learned the news from the investigation bureau, he was shocked. He never thought that it was Liang Qichao, who was a modest gentleman, pushing all this behind the scenes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I have failed you, but you..."
Thinking about the ignorance of His Majesty's attitude now, Yuan Shikai's heart was a burst of disappointment. His Majesty, who launched the war, was in Zijin Mountain to escape the summer heat. As a result, his prime minister, became a scapegoat. Liang Zhuo is really tall. He is so roundabout that even your majesty is embarrassed to intervene directly. What's more, maybe in your majesty In his heart, he also needs a scapegoat.
When Yuan Shikai sighed disappointedly, the car stopped at the back door of the Prime Minister's official residence. There were tens of thousands of people demonstrating in front of the Prime Minister's official residence. He, the Prime Minister, could only enter and exit through the back door.
Thinking that Liang Qichao was pushing everything behind the scenes, but there was no attack on the House, Yuan Shikai frowned.
"What is Liang Zhuoru waiting for?"
Opportunities are for those who are prepared.
For Liang Qichao, who has been prepared for a long time, he has been waiting for an opportunity to launch a general attack, but when and where to launch a general attack, he has been looking for such an opportunity, a suitable opportunity.
For Liang Qichao, to some extent, he does not feel that it will be beneficial for him to directly use the "unconstitutional cabinet" to promote the resignation of the cabinet. In China, there are still many people who are eager for the country to expand their borders.
Expanding more than two million square kilometers of land is a great achievement. Even if you want to force the cabinet to resign, you should find a suitable reason. The cabinet is unconstitutional, but if you really want to give a fatal blow to Yuan's cabinet, you still need other reasons and excuses. Only in this way can you block the world. Youyou's mouth.
What other reasons and excuses are there?
Liang Qichao, who sits on the stone bench of the pavilion, wears a light cyan Han dress. In the imperial Jianyuan, anyone who wears an old-style robe will be regarded as Han annihi. Under the pressure of public opinion, people have long changed their dressing habits. As a literati, unless it is on some special occasions, Liang Qi Chao will never wear new clothes that imitate military uniforms. In his opinion, the new clothes in black, gray and white military uniforms are not what he likes. In his opinion, the murderous spirit of that kind of clothing is too heavy, so he often chooses as a casual dress like many scholars.
Beside him sat several people of different ages, all sitting on the stools in the pavilion like him. Pu Dianjun and Wang Yinchuan also wore the same shirt as him, while Wu Chaoshu, as the legal adviser of the Mingzhu Party, was wearing a suit.
For Wu Chaoshu, a young man who has studied in the United States since childhood, compared with Hanshang, he prefers to wear new clothes in a suit and military uniform style. Not everyone can wear its temperament. Of course, what's more important is that Wu Chaoshu doesn't like the small buttons on the new collar. After the collar is buttoned, it will always make people I feel a little short of breath.
"Prime Minister, if my party does nothing more, I'm afraid it will cause some dissatisfaction in society!"
Pu Diansheng, who had just entered the decision-making level of the Mingzhu Party two years ago, said with some concern.
"Now there are nearly a million workers and millions of young students involved in the country. They need our immediate support. Otherwise, once they are suppressed, I'm afraid..."
Wang Yinchuan's words only replaced Liang Qichao's meditation. He pondered for a moment, and then said slowly.
"Time! Timing!"
For five whole days, from morning to evening, almost every day, Liang Qichao has been thinking about when to launch the general attack. In his opinion, it is abnormal and abnormal for Yuan Shikai not to make any movement now.
"Until now, Yuan Weiting has not done anything!"
After frowning and spitting out this sentence, Liang Qichao looked at the three people who came to visit him. The reason why they came to visit them was that they hoped that they could support them in launching the overthrow of the cabinet in the parliament and give the last blow to Yuan cabinet.
"This is really not in line with Yuan Shikai's normal situation!"
Wu Chaoshu said truthfully that after returning from studying in the United States, he was sent to work in the Governor-General's Office of North Korea. Yuan Shikai, who was the Governor-General of North Korea, was also his old boss. When he was the Governor-General of North Korea, in the face of any civil unhapproachment in North Korea, Yuan Shikai's reaction must be said to be rapid. A small citizen petition occurred in Seoul. After that, he immediately sent military police to maintain order, and then asked the petitioners to disband immediately. After they refused, the military police dispersed everyone with lead-wrapped batons. At the same time, more than 400 leaders and behind-the-scenes planners were arrested and executed those people directly in the dungeon of the gendarmerie headquarters without any trial and training. It can be said that Wu Chaoshu will never doubt Yuan Shikai's iron fist.
"This is not North Korea, and he, Yuan Shikai, is not the governor of North Korea's military and political affairs!"
Pu Dianjun snorted. After Yuan Shikai left North Korea, he became the prime minister. He also tried to oppose it with his "hands red" when he was the governor of Korea. However, with the support of your majesty, Yuan Shikai still served as the prime minister, but everyone knows that the prime minister of the imperial cabinet is only a name. In contrast, It's not even as good as a North Korean governor sent by the imperial cabinet, not to mention the North Korean governor of military and political affairs.
The Prime Minister of the Cabinet has no right to mobilize the army and the military and police, while the Governor-General of North Korea can mobilize a division in the Governor-General of North Korea according to needs, can be exempted from any position of officials below the Governor-General, and can even promulgate a law that is valid for no longer than his term of office. It can be said that, to some extent, the power of the governor of North Korea even exceeds that of the emperor, not to mention the prime minister, but becoming the prime minister of the cabinet is the common dream of Chinese civil servants. In any case, the governor is only the governor, and the prime minister is the real peak of life.
So although the position of the governor-general of North Korea is high and powerful, and there is not necessarily anyone in China who really regards this position as a thing, the prime minister is completely different. He is in the central position, and no one wants to.
"Sir, Premier Yang of the Constitutional Party asks for a meeting!"
The servant's report only stunned Liang Qichao. If he remembers correctly, isn't he outside the city? How... Looking at each other in the pavilion, Liang Qichao ordered his servant.
"Oh, please invite Premier Yang to my study!"
"Ren Gong!"
"Tiger Lord!"
As soon as Liang Qichao and Yang Du met, they were polite and asked Yang Du to do it. As soon as the servant sent the tea, Yang Du took out a document before Liang Qichao could speak.
"Ren Gong, God bless me this time!"
With that, he handed the document obtained from the German to Liang Qichao.
"Ren Gong, this is a document involving a number of dignitaries of the political axe. Every year, the imperial political axe uniformly purchases hundreds of millions of machinery and equipment. Unexpectedly, there are such worms. The corruption of officials is beyond our imagination!"
Oh!
Yang Du's words only shocked Liang Qichao. He took the document and looked at the familiar names on it, and then looked at the amount of money. He was stunned in an instant. He could hardly believe his eyes. His Majesty's fight against corruption was so severe that so many officials asked for bribes from German companies!
Looking back again, I looked at a telegram. The telegram was a telegram between a German company and a branch in China, but the content was not much different. It was nothing more than giving kickbacks to those officials, and some rebates were even as high as 30%!
With a sudden slap on the table, an angry look appeared on Liang Qichao's face.
"How can we sit back and watch such a country!"
With the shock of his hand, Liang Qichao looked at the document again. Almost after seeing the document at the first glance, he had determined that this was the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time, an opportunity that could not be picky!
Corruption [***] has always been the most ** heartstring in the hearts of the Chinese people, and it is also the most disgusting thing for Your Majesty. Don't ask Yang Du about the documents he got from there. As long as the documents are leaked, it will immediately set off an uproar in China. At that time, the responsible cabinet will collapse. And the Mingzhu Party can take this opportunity to launch a comprehensive general attack, instead of adding fuel to the flames as it is now.
"Hu Gong, if this document is published in the newspaper, will there be any waves!"
With a smile, Liang Qichao made a plan in his heart. Sometimes some things still have to be faked by others. Public opinion is a good tool!
