Chapter 129 Boiling Years

This is an unprecedented boiling time in Chinese history

From the new emperor's speech ascending the throne, to the subsequent vigorous anti-corruption and corruption campaign, to the statement on April 20, one by one, one deafening concept, measure, and proposal were proposed, and the government and Congress turned them into laws as unprecedented.

Teams of young officials with missions rushed from the center to various places, gathered with investigation teams and organizations from all over the country, and put them in a strong manner. After policies were implemented, all social organizations began to operate strongly. Under the unified coordination of the central investigation team, they pointed at corrupt bureaucrats and pointed to the gray area accumulated over the years!

Some officials who had originally expected that the new emperor was just a new official to take office and would immediately have no follow-up when facing the threat of national war. Finally, they realized in despair that this person was really a little stingy. He came to be really good! Many officials and congressmen prayed to God and Buddha sooner or later, just ask this grandpa to quickly accept a few concubines and go what they should do earlier. If you continue to work hard, you will be unable to live this life, you will be able to live!

The officialdom of China is already in panic. Many people have experienced strong winds and deep foundations. Now they are watching a group of hungry wolves surrounding them from all directions, and they have long lost their calm and composed demeanor.

Since the past thousand years, how could such a gentle and polite thing have happened? The dignified parents and officials have actually begun to be really impoverished and supervised by mud legs. This is unreasonable, so how can the way of heaven exist?

Many people have thought about confrontation and let the center see their strength. But they were surprised to find that they had nothing to do.

The local financial power was jointly supervised by Zheng Yu's order by the local Senate and the central government's Ministry of Finance. The special accounts originally included in the royal family and state-owned banks are now unable to be used at will. Many of the members of the local Senate have been spending their own reports, and the rest are full of people who respond to the call of the Central Committee to do a big fight, seize this opportunity to expand the power of the Senate, and carry out large-scale publicity and agitation in the local area, and popularize these policies and ideas of the Central Committee.

For the Baath Party MPs who have always been dissatisfied with the status of the Senate, young people are eager to gain more space, and old people are not willing to be lonely. Since they have this opportunity, they naturally have to perform well.

The response from opposition MPs was much more enthusiastic.

His Majesty the New Emperor has already expressed his meaning in his words. If the Baxing Party wants to withdraw some space, who can grab the big shot, it depends on its performance now! As for taking this opportunity to shake the leadership of the Baxing Party? Faced with the iron fist of the investigation team, the Imperial Guards and the Guards, the bayonets of the military police, and the cold eyes of the Intelligence Bureau, it is better to save money first. Getting closer to the emperor can not only win the hearts of the people, but also gain favor from the superiors, but there is no risk. It is just a pain to beat the dog in the water. Why bother to take the big picture?

This led to a very funny scene: the opposition party not only did not take the opportunity to set off a trend of opposing the ruling party in this officialdom, but instead actively moved closer to the center and happily devoted himself to it.

The local police department has separated from the local financial system. After the Qiqihar incident, Zhao Bingjun carried out a major pursuant to the local police system and strengthened the central control. Now the newly replaced group of people is ready to make contributions, and it is the central government allocated funds. At such a great opportunity, it is like a hungry tiger and rushing to the local government to get rid of the knife. Contact them? Do you think you are not dying fast enough?

The local national defense mobilization organization, adhering to the orders of the Ministry of National Defense and the Sixth General, has always been a military order. The local security forces were already mastered by the investigation team as early as when Zheng Ying was corruption. Some local political officials wanted to take advantage of the Mu Tie's mutiny and reached out, but the investigation team followed the clues and took the harem as a conspirator of the mutiny and directly arrested and sent to Beijing. Now they want to use the local concept to incite something, but under Zheng Yu's series of measures and propaganda to clarify the country for the people, it became a complete dream. As long as the center is not 1.1, the local security forces will not be controlled by the local political forces.

The local trade unions and peasant associations are all veterans. Although there have been many corrupt elements colluding with the authorities, this heavy blow has long been the rats crossing the street and knocked over to the ground. After a series of orders from the Central Government, the Ministry of National Defense, the 6th General General, the Royal Guard, and the Secretariat, these organizations immediately mobilized and organized the masses, preached policies, and encouraged the people to firmly support the central anti-corruption and anti-corruption. You have one clue and one clue. After a few strokes, a complete map of the corruption path for an adult was drawn. The policy has been promulgated: collectively reveal, collectively share the bounty. These organized reporting troops have become nightmares for corrupt officials.

The Youth League is a youth preparation organization formed by Zheng Ying and others in a hard work. It organizes young people to conduct regular military training, public labor, sports competitions, literary and artistic activities, ideological education in the form of teams, and learn professional skills in the form of teams. The purpose is to cultivate an organized and disciplined team of industrial workers for industrialization and reserve troops for possible large-scale wars in the future.

Therefore, Zheng Ying has always been very strict in the Youth League. All the middle and upper-level cadres of the Youth League are young cadres from Cining. They are all carefully selected and have the most firm belief in the cause of national rejuvenation.

At this moment, the Youth League became a weapon in Zheng Yu's hands.

These passionate young people who were mobilized served as volunteer propaganda teams during this purge. Many half-aged children were consciously paying attention to clues, and many corrupt officials who fled abroad took them to these inconspicuous children.

However, the most terrifying thing is to encourage officials to report each other, reduce crimes and even exempt them from crimes. As soon as this killer move came out, the officialdom's connection collapsed. Seeing that the newspapers were telling the story of a certain official and Guang Tongchen for many years, and now, under the call of His Majesty, repented and strongly responded to the empire's anti-corruption campaign and made meritorious services. The brothers who used to be blood in the past looked at each other only with precautions and suspicions. While pointing to the sky, they all suspected that the other party might have to calm down and report first. A casual temptation immediately gave the other party a fierce reaction.

It's over, it's really over.

No one can use it, no one can borrow it.

The building will collapse.

The old master who was domineering in the past began to encounter a real nightmare. More than a dozen concubines cried every day, and some even escaped, made divorce, and even went to court to sue the other party forcibly marrying. The story was so dazzling that the actor who kept outside was scared to run away from the rented land. As soon as the rabbit husband sold the house he had no name, he ran to foreign countries with his lover.

There are military and police officers in major ports and even foreign exchange black markets, and plainclothes are everywhere.

They all have rewards: they caught a fleeing official, earned meritorious service, and received a reward, and were truly rewarded. They were dressed up as women, and were torn off by the scammers of the General Intelligence Agency agents, and pulled out steamed buns from their arms; they limped and had their bearded, and they were directly pulled out of their beards from their chests.

The main snake heads of the empire were warned by some kind of power: those who dared to send anyone to smuggle will directly destroy the family.

Everyone swallowed.

This kind of work is too dirty. Generally, the General Intelligence Bureau of the Empire is for professional peripheral institutions to handle it. The public concessions in Nanyang, Hong Kong, and Shanghai are hard to tell how many such organizations are. Before the founding of the country, the powerful departments of the Empire still retained a lot of ruthlessness and decisiveness in the revolutionary war years. If you keep the order of pursuit, unless you get strong protection from the enemy's government, even if you run to the ends of the world, you may fall into various subordinates of all kinds of religions and all kinds of people at any time.

During the Great Purge five years ago, several snake heads who did not believe in evil sent people to Russia. Within a year, these people died in South America, Africa, and even Russia. Some were strangled by the other party with steel wire when they were intimate with prostitutes, some were stabbed to death by temporary repair workers, some were slaughtered in casinos, and some were hunted without any corpses.

This time, the central government is really cruel, and no one thinks that they have a long life. If you make money, you have to have the life to spend it, right?

Under the threats and stimulation of various policies, the imperial officialdom has set off a large stage for investigation teams in various places, and scenes of jaw-dropping dramas have been staged one after another.

Director Jiaotong, who was preparing to take the initiative to report the news, saw the deputy director of the post who had originally been Yijie Jinlan, who had seen the deputy director of the post who changed the post as soon as he looked up at the gate. Seeing the other party's face full of relief and refreshing expression, he scolded his mother on the spot. The two of them met with Jie Laodi and formed a ball at the door. Seeing a carriage running in the distance, the director suddenly asked the deputy director, "Director Liu of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, do you report it? The deputy director was confused. Lao Liu has something to do? I don't know! The director's eyes lit up at the time, and he didn't care about tearing the deputy director, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I'm, I'll report it! I just came late because I was collecting evidence of corruption by Director Liu of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. I know all about him. I want to confess to the organization to strive for leniency!"

The wife betrayed her husband, the younger brother betrayed her brother, and the brother-in-law betrayed her brother-in-law, and the lively dramas are endless. This is a tragedy for corrupt officials, and this is an unprecedented catastrophe in the history of bureaucracy.

The bureaucratic system, which has been passed down from the land of China for thousands of years and has grown vigorously after storms, finally met a strong opponent since this moment.

This is an unprecedented powerful emperor. He is a real freak, an alien, but he really has the strength and opportunity to shake the entire bureaucracy.

Not only are corrupt officials in panic all day long, but the cruel officials who want to charm their superiors also startled to find that the game was not as they had originally imagined. Under this new system, lower-level officials no longer just deal with superiors, and no longer simply measure the indicators, which depends on how much tax you collect, how much food you have to reclaim the land.

He was not only supervised by superior departments, but also first nearby supervision by local public opinion organs and even all the people, as well as horizontal supervision by other powerful institutions.

The voice of local governments no longer overwhelms everything. Under the protection of powerful institutions independent of local governments, there are various casual journalists collecting materials everywhere to buy informants every day.

The people have the deepest feelings about what kind of influence the government has put on their lives.

The empire is a multi-party system, and there are still various parties of parliamentarians within local public opinion organs. Although they are not large in proportion, they can make their own voices. At this time, seeing the central wind direction changes, these minority party members have also begun to actively engage in activities and are ready to seize this opportunity to accumulate some political capital. The public opinion formed in this way, even the Baath Party members who occupy the majority have to face it.

In this battle, the Baxing Party was the biggest victim, but had to invest in a more positive attitude. Zheng Yu had already cleaned up the Central Party Department first, handed over a group of corrupt officials with conclusive evidence, and promoted a group of rising stars. The new Central Party Department, the old school, the Mesozoic generation and the new school each accounted for one-third, all of which were fully supported by the Secretary-General of the Baxing Party Zheng Jingen and Liu Dingyi and other bigwigs.

Zheng Yu's will is conveyed downward through the Party Central Committee of the Party. If the Party cannot actively draw a clear line with its own corruption and fight resolutely, is it necessary to exist in the future and in what form it exists, which is a question that needs to be carefully studied!

This time, the Baxing Party has been killed from all members of the Central Standing Committee. They are very clear that to save the Party’s image, the best way is not to cover up the problems, but to resolutely draw a line with these problems, clear out these corrupt elements, and regain the trust of the people, especially the emperor.

The remaining people in the center did not have any braids, but they were more fame and were willing to save the country. They were very disgusted with the faces of many people in the following places, and even felt a little jealous of their all-purpose places. Now with this emperor who was determined to refresh politics, of course, they all rolled up their arms and sleeves and started to work hard.

Zheng Yu observed silently and evaluated.

The Baath Party has been established for thirty years, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of bureaucratic habits and the dusk has become a little deeper. At this time, if you don’t stimulate it well, clean it up, so that they can find a sense of crisis again and find some ideals, then this party will be really beyond salvation.

It seems that the ruling party built by his father is not as serious as the overall degeneration. Most of his cadres also have basic patriotism and a simple sense of justice. Now the atmosphere across the country is inspiring, and even some old-school party members with deep tempers are inevitably touched.

The local Baath Party members have no choice. There is the emperor and central government, the authority of the central party, and the people. The pressure from other party members and local public opinion is really... we must actively participate. As for the corrupt officials who used to call brothers, brothers, please be blessed.

Want to rely on the smugness to compete for the indicators to win the position? Sorry, I will pass the local Senate first, public opinion and the public. Moreover, there is a more realistic threat: for the smugness attempt to expand the attack and fabricate evidence to fabricate major cases, due to the mutual supervision of multiple channels, some cases have been found.

Some people have tried to include some officials and members with local autonomy ideas and test the central wind direction.

There are those who fabricate evidence to create "big cases" to gain political capital.

Some people involved in businessmen and extortion.

Some people have false accusations of revenge on their own.

Zheng Yu's response was very simple: in the name of him and the cabinet, the retrial was directly rejected, and once it was a false accusation, the crackdown was severely punished. In addition, the crackdown was limited to the political department, and the rest were all subject to the imperial judicial, procuratorial and police departments, and could not be included in the anti-corruption system.

Some of the central dispatchers who were very happy and implicated in the prison were dismissed and summoned back to Beijing as soon as they showed signs.

Liu Ziwen, whose pen name is Beizhu, mercilessly criticized these attempts in the newspaper. The public opinion circles heard the news and some people who had just changed their minds immediately retreated.

In this very radical movement, Zheng Yu pays great attention to methods and methods.

Since the Zhen** era, Zheng Ying has paid great attention to cadre training and management methods of the country. Since his military career, he did not adopt a simple and crude militarized management model for the country. Instead, he patiently cultivated cadres and accumulated management experience. Every major policy change must have sufficient trial and error and experience accumulation. He even spent ten years in Annan and fifteen years in Jiangnan to lay a solid foundation. Therefore, the system in the Zheng Ying era was more tolerant and energetic, and the official team was relatively mixed.

In Zheng Yu's era, he began to gather some things and at the same time delegate some things to public opinion agencies. If Zheng Ying brought a country in the medieval era into enlightenment, experienced the Great Revolution, and quickly urged him to féi during a drastic turning point, then Zheng Yu wanted to solve a series of problems left by Zheng Ying, bring the country into modernization, and establish a more sustainable, more reasonable and more enterprising new order. This is an equally huge change.

Zheng Yu is very clear about the importance of methods and methods in this process. All of this will become the practice of future political activities in this country, and the influence is not before us, but a hundred or even a thousand years. As the emperor, he is the example of the people and the example of all politicians. If he himself shows his ignorance of the rule of law and order, it is equivalent to opening a Pandora's box.

So although this movement is actually very ruling, Zheng Yu took legal and institutionalized methods to promote it. Everything is preceded by decrees, and there are many legislative procedures that should be found. Congress debates, votes, emperor's deputy signing, and cabinet motions are all accurate.

Of course, behind all this, there are invisible hands silently and cleverly combo the opposition and requested arbitration to the Supreme Court for some unconstitutional laws. Of course, the result is no suspense.

In response to this, some members of the cabinet showed great resentment in private, and they did have sufficient reasons to express this resentment. Even the Prime Minister Liu Dingyi, who was hardworking and diligent and generous, was trusted by Zheng Ying, privately muttered a few words, "Others sang high-profile, and we should use them to express their decrees. If there is any problem, we will be thunder." As for Tang Shaoyi, who has been tortured by the local fiscal budget recently, said it more directly - "The cabinet is just to wipe people's butts. Before using it, it is just a piece of white paper. If you use it, it will be garbage. If you throw it into the pit, you can't say it."

The next day, from Liu Dingyi, several important officials from the cabinet who joined the prison were received by the imperial pens, including "unparalleled national talents", "braves of China", and "like the sea of ​​spirit". The new emperor also attached a letter of thanks, full of sincere thanks and continued to work hard. While everyone smiled bitterly, they were also secretly shocked by someone's knowledge. After the prison, they had to do what they should do. Anyway, this thankless character has been worked from Zheng Ying when he was there until the new emperor succeeded to the throne. If he does too much, he will get used to it, right?

From the center to the local area, all the potential strengths of the military stood on Zheng Yu's side at this moment.

After the Sino-Japanese War of 10 years ago, Zheng Ying arranged a large number of military cadres to retire and transfer to other fields. On the one hand, they used these elite talents to strengthen control over all aspects of the country and better implement the central will. On the other hand, they also made room for the new generation of systematic training within the army, avoiding bureaucracy and outdated military, and also conducive to a new round of military innovation.

Under this arrangement, from Congress to the local Senate, from the political ranks to the police system, from trade unions to farmers' associations, there are all over the military background cadres.

However, these people also have their own demands.

For middle-aged and elderly officers, on the one hand, they were slightly dissatisfied with Zheng Ying's turn to suppress the army, and were also very dissatisfied with the suppression of the cabinet and local governments of their Congress and the Senate led by civil servants. On the other hand, they were also worried about the radicalization of the new generation of the army. They were also vested interests, and they were more interested in expanding their influence in society. In fact, they did not support all the dangerous ideas of younger soldiers. Even if they had support, they were more based on the concern that civil servants overwhelmed the army. They knew very well that their roots were in the army, and they all prospered and suffered losses.

Now, the radicals have been suppressed, but the new emperor has not abandoned the army, but has begun to attack civil servants, which has satisfied both the demands of these middle-aged and elderly officers. Naturally, they have actively participated in it and strive to occupy a more important position in the new order.

The Secretariat, the emperor's staff organization built by Zheng Ying, showed consistent efficiency in this trend. Although Secretary-General Deng Qian and the Senior Emperor died together, the systems and rules, written and unwritten methods accumulated by the Secretariat were still enough to support the important tasks entrusted by the emperor. Although the emperor was once a year, there were not many people in the new emperor's most confidant team. Now it seems that he is a ambitious. The Secretariat has been full of energy to perform well and keep up with the situation. In addition, Deng Qian's death, Zheng Yu entrusted several previous figures with important tasks to compete with each other, so that they could explore the potential of the Secretariat a little more.

Such a massive anti-corruption and corruption campaign did not have a big situation in the world. This depends on the various powerful institutions and social organizations of the empire. They acted in accordance with the laws under the unified dispatch of the Coordination Association with the Bureau of Investigation as the core. Everything has rules to follow. The scope of the crackdown was strictly limited to the political department and not expanded to other institutions. It depends on the careful planning of the previous plan and the Secretariat's careful understanding of different situations in various places when Zheng Ying was in office.

The powerful state institutions have proved their efficiency and relative integrity. In this anti-corruption campaign, they, as guardians of order, performed their duties. Although the center moved the people, they still firmly controlled the social order through local coordination associations and powerful institutions. Police agencies, security forces, local general intelligence agencies, military police, and even national defense mobilization departments, trade unions and peasants' associations, youth leagues, and other organizations are actually controlled in accordance with the military system. Orders and bans are basic requirements. Therefore, they are strictly enforcing orders and suppressing all excessive tendencies and even tendencies that may threaten social order.

In the local area, there must be choices and differences in the incitement of public reports. Basically, this method is only suitable for areas with strong central control and relatively high education. Otherwise, once the public's fanaticism is incited, some people with ulterior motives are deceived and turn things in other directions, or some officials who are eager to make contributions are incited and become violent, which is to cause trouble.

In the midst of boiling, an intelligence agency called the "Imperial Investigation Bureau" landed on the power map of the empire. This internal intelligence agency, which was derived from the General Intelligence Bureau, was planning as early as Zheng Ying's time. The original idea was to focus on one of Xiao Feng's places, establish an intelligence agency specializing in internal supervision and anti-espionage, and separate power from the General Intelligence Bureau to avoid the General Intelligence Bureau being dominant. Now that Xiao Feng is dead, one place has been cleaned up, Zheng Yu had to use some personnel to identify the personnel after one place, and then transfer some personnel from all over the place, plus a group of students who graduated early in the intelligence school, to receive an original local network, and form such an institution, with Ding Qiming, the former deputy director of the General Intelligence Bureau as the director, and Ming Yuelan, a senior agent of the Second Division of the General Intelligence Bureau, was sent to be Ding Qiming's assistant.

Logically speaking, Yuelan is obviously not qualified enough, but she has been circulating some of the friendship between her and the new emperor and some words have been circulating in the upper level of the intelligence system. Everyone sees it, but no one will discuss with His Majesty the Emperor for this. In short, no matter whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

In this way, this new imperial investigation bureau, which was counter-espionage on one hand and illegally investigated officials on the other hand, was directly controlled by Zheng Yucao. From the very beginning, it became the focus of attention of those who are interested in the empire.

This is a tightly organized and involved in extensive anti-corruption liquidation, and also pays attention to preventing a dangerous trend of faking up. No one knows better than Zheng Yu that everything that comes up with good policies is often bad at the word "extreme".

At this moment, the local officials of the Chinese Empire, whether they were corrupt officials or unscrupulous officials who were charming and abused the people, felt the bone-bending coldness and loneliness, and unprecedented fear. From top to bottom, left and right, it seemed that there were pairs of alert and even greedy eyes everywhere, peeping at their past and present, looking for little traces of their greed and abuse of power, and always being alert to their ambition to use charming and bullying the lower level to fight for the position.

Suddenly, the original hunter turned into prey; but the original prey suddenly became a hunter who sharpened his sword. This feeling of enemies on all sides but he had nowhere to exert force, made many corrupt officials who could not afford to be injured even choose to commit suicide in despair.

This is an unbearable page in the history of China's thousands of years of bureaucracy, but it will be the beginning of a new era.

The people of this country finally felt a sense of shock from the bottom of their hearts.

This world is really going to change.

Yes, the world has changed.

This is an unprecedented and pioneering initiative in Chinese history. It is the first time that the political system has fully guaranteed a large group of workers at the bottom.

This is the first systematic and legalized comprehensive purging of the officialdom, and for the first time, the elected organs have introduced strong supervision and restrictions on political affairs by the government, as well as direct supervision by local media. This is also the first time that the police system has been completely separated from local government affairs.
To be continued...
