Chapter 137: The Placement and Treatment of the Former Northern Frontier Royal Family and Nobles
Shangjing City and Taiye Lake are also the locations of the former Prime Minister's Office of Northern Frontier.
It consists of a number of gardens and buildings including Guanghua Pavilion, Yinian Hall, and Qinzheng Hall. It has beautiful scenery and is one of the larger royal palaces.
However, many buildings in Taiye Lake are now deserted.
If the soldiers of the 102nd Infantry Division of the Renaissance Army had not taken control of this place early, it would probably be in chaos.
Jiang Hua led Ling Liang into the Taiye Lake from the West Garden Gate. Looking at the gardens and buildings, he sighed, "It's worthy of being a royal palace. They really know how to enjoy it.
We don’t get such treatment in Chengbei.”
Ling Liang looked at Jiang Hua with a hint of a smile on his lips.
"If the commander doesn't mind that this is Yuan Shicheng's Prime Minister's residence, then this can also be your office and residence."
Jiang Hua looked around and said with great excitement: "This is a good suggestion. As for the taboos, I don't care. I don't believe in it."
At this moment, Yan Shuangying, the director of the Security Bureau of the Military and Political Committee, walked up to Jiang Hua and whispered, "Commander, Dean Chu is waiting outside with Yang Kaitai and Situ Yu."
"Yang Kaitai and Situ Yu, they are our great heroes, let them in."
After Yan Shuangying left, Ling Liang looked at Jiang Hua and asked, "Commander, how do you plan to deal with these two people?"
These two people made great contributions to the smooth capture of Shangjing City this time.
Moreover, Yang Kaitai had provided very important assistance to the Fuxing Army before.
Otherwise, the Fuxing Army might not have been able to gain the upper hand in the previous public opinion war.
Jiang Hua said thoughtfully: "There are some jobs that are very suitable for them now.
If they do well, the center will be able to reserve two positions for them.
If they can't do their job, I'll just find them two idle positions and put them aside. That wouldn't be unfair to them."
He had already made up his mind about the whereabouts of these two people.
So it depends on what choices the two of them make next.
Choices also determine a person's destiny in life.
Soon Yan Shuangying brought the two of them into Taiye Lake.
Jiang Hua and Ling Liang were also waiting for them in a small pavilion in the lake.
Yang Kaitai was wearing a gray long gown and a pair of black-framed glasses, giving him a very humanistic air.
But his eyes were unusually bright and full of energy.
Situ Yu standing next to him had a completely different style. He was wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He looked very gentle and seemed like a calculating person.
The two were stunned when they saw Jiang Hua and Ling Liang.
It’s nothing, he’s just too young.
Although he knew that Jiang Hua was Jiang Da's only son, he was only in his early twenties.
But when I actually saw it, I was still dazed for a moment.
Ling Liang, who was standing next to Jiang Hua, was wearing the uniform of a Red Alert general.
If they hadn't seen the three stars on Ling Liang's epaulettes, they would probably have mistaken her for Jiang Hua's woman.
It was rumored that the Chief of Staff of the Renaissance Army was a very beautiful woman, but they didn't believe it at first.
Apparently the rumor is true.
Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very powerful.
You must know that the Fuxing Army's repeated victories, the annihilation of the Northern Frontier Army and the defeat of the Fuso Army are directly related to this very beautiful woman.
So even though Ling Liang was a woman, the two of them did not dare to look down on her.
In their eyes, such people are actually dangerous.
Yang Kaitai and Situ Yu stood a few steps away from Jiang Hua and bowed in unison, "Chairman."
Jiang Hua's official identity is the chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Fuxing Army, so there is nothing wrong with them calling him chairman.
After all, they have now joined the Renaissance Army and are also members of the Renaissance Army.
After seeing the two of them, Jiang Hua also showed a warm smile on his face and pointed to the stone bench beside him and said, "If you have anything to say, sit down and talk."
Yang Kaitai and Situ Yu looked at each other. They didn't expect that the chairman had no airs at all. Instead, he seemed very friendly.
Then the two of them sat down, and Jiang Hua said, "This time, we were able to capture Shangjing City at a small cost, capture over 100,000 Northern Frontier soldiers, and prevent this ancient city from being destroyed in the flames of war. You two have made great contributions.
On behalf of the Renaissance Army and the people of this ancient city, I would like to thank you both."
Yang Kaitai quickly said, "Commissioner, we two only did what we were supposed to do. We dare not take credit for it. If it weren't for the bravery of the Fusion Army, we wouldn't be able to accomplish anything just by talking."
"Yes!"
Situ Yu echoed from the side.
Jiang Hua nodded and said, "It's your contribution, so there's no need to be so modest.
Although we have taken Shangjing City, many things have not been dealt with yet. I wonder what advice you two have? How should we deal with it better? "
After saying that, he stared at the two of them with bright eyes, wanting to see their reactions.
Yang Kaitai certainly knew what Jiang Hua meant when he said that many things had not been dealt with.
The biggest issue that the entire Shangjing City has to deal with at the moment is the royal family of the Northern Frontier court and the original Northern Frontier official system.
After all, before, the royal family and noble system of the Northern Frontier court were the real masters of Shangjing City.
It was very interesting when Jiang Hua asked them what to do at this time.
Both of them were smart people, so they naturally understood the meaning.
Smart people naturally know the smart choices.
They have all chosen to join the Renaissance Army, so naturally there is nothing to hesitate about.
"Find a place far away from the capital to house them and send soldiers to guard them for ten years.
Ten years later, they will no longer have any influence in the world and will no longer pose any threat.
As for their property, it was all confiscated.
This group of people have been sucking blood from the ancient country for hundreds of years, and their property is all the blood and sweat of the people.
Confiscated property is used for local construction, which can be considered as taking from the people and using it for the people."
Situ Yu also nodded and agreed: "I agree, but this is a bit too easy for them.
I think we can find a deserted village to house them, and we just need to make sure they don't starve to death.
If they want to have enough to eat and enough clothes to wear, they need to rely on their own hands to work to get food and clothes.
This will also allow them to quickly recognize reality and realize that they are already ordinary people.
It also allows them to understand how difficult life is for ordinary people under their rule."
My goodness, this Situ Yu is even more ruthless.
However, the proposals of these two people are very consistent with Jiang Hua's ideas, and it can even be said that they are basically in line with each other.
Jiang Hua looked at the two of them with interest and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you two, how about that?"
This is their true token of allegiance, or in other words, it is their token of whether they can truly integrate into the top echelons of the Renaissance Army.
Yang Kaitai saw this very clearly.
He immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Yang Kaitai is willing to accept the order."
Situ Yu hesitated for a moment and then said, "Situ Yu is also willing to accept the order."
These two people can be said to be representatives of the surrender faction in the northern border.
Jiang Hua was also very happy to see them make their choice.
"Then we will establish a Northern Frontier Royal Family and Nobles Resettlement Office. You, Yang Kaitai, will be the director of the resettlement office, and Situ Yu will be the deputy director. You will be fully responsible for handling the affairs of the former royal family and nobles in Northern Frontier.
We'll reward you after the mission is accomplished. Do you two have any objections?"
"no!"
“No objection!”
"Okay, you two go handle this matter, and then let Dean Chu come in."
Soon, Executive Yuan President Chu Anshi strode over.
"Chairman, President Ling."
"sit down."
"Yes!"
After Chu Anshi sat down, Jiang Hua said, "The situation in Shangjing City has just been settled, and it may still be chaotic for a while. You, the Executive Yuan, must do a good job of appeasing the people.
One month later, all central agencies and offices will be relocated to Shangjing City, and you must also prepare for their resettlement.
There is another thing. The Northern Frontier court no longer exists and has completely become history.
This federal government itself is a temporary transitional organization, and it will be promoted to the outside world in the name of the Renaissance government.
After Zhongyuan Province and Jingbei Province are recovered, your Executive Yuan should quickly dispatch personnel to handle local affairs.
Land reform, the abolition of excessive taxes and fees, and other policies must also be implemented quickly so that the region can achieve stability..."
Jiang Hua spoke for more than half an hour, and Chu Anshi also listened for more than half an hour.
After everything was explained, Chu Anshi also left Taiye Lake.
Taiye Lake will later become the office space for the Military and Political Committee of the Restoration Army and the Executive Yuan.
Jiang Hua's office is located in the Yinian Hall in the backyard of Taiye Lake, which was originally Yuan Shicheng's office.
At the same time, this will also become his residence.
The affairs in Shangjing City have been almost dealt with, but there is still an important matter in the neighboring city of Jinmen that needs to be dealt with by Jiang Hua.
This major event is a historical issue - the public concessions of the great powers.
This is one of the signs of the ancient country's semi-colonialism.
For the ancient country, the public concession was equivalent to a country within a country, with independent laws, garrisons, diplomacy, etc., and its autonomy was no different from that of a country.
Even whether the ancient Chinese could enter the concession required the consent of these foreigners.
Jiang Hua would never tolerate this kind of thing.
Previously, the Northern Frontier court and various forces were afraid of the powerful strength of these great powers, so they acquiesced to the existence of these public concessions.
But Jiang Hua is a person who cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes, so naturally he would not allow something like a public concession to exist under his rule.
In addition, it is also necessary to reclaim the autonomy of customs.
So now the question of how to recover it is now facing Jiang Hua.
During this period, some people also suggested using diplomacy first and then force, negotiating with the major powers first, and then using force to forcibly take back the territory if the negotiations failed.
There is nothing wrong with this, but it is not acceptable in Jiang Hua's opinion.
"What is there to talk about? This is our territory. Why are we talking to them on our territory? There is nothing to talk about.
Directly surround the concession and issue an ultimatum with a deadline of 7 days.
If you don't evacuate within seven days, then you don't have to leave and you will be locked up first.
Don't be afraid of causing any diplomatic incidents. As long as your fists are strong enough, these powers will not dare to do anything.
As for customs, they were all forced to accept it, and at the same time, the General Administration of Customs was established to fully take over customs.”
