Changsha is located in the northeast of Hunan. The Xiangjiang River has been a convenient transportation route for boats since ancient times. It is known as "Jingyu's lips and teeth, and the throat of Guangdong". It has always been a place that military strategists must fight for. If you want to control Hunan, you must control Changsha.**

After being "recruited" by Li Han, Tan Yankai sat back on the position of governor of Hunan. This time, although his "same name" of "Tan Gancao" was re-recognized, now in Changsha, a major Hunan town in Hunan, his status is more stable than when he was in charge of Hunan half a year ago. Especially within half a month, with the arrival of two divisions from Hubei, some noises in Hunan Province disappeared in a short while!

After the peace talks between the north and the south, Changsha is still the political center of Hunan and the big stage of Hunan constitutionalists. Although the iron-blooded Eighteen Star Flag floating on the head of Changsha has quietly fallen, replaced by the five-color Republic flag representing the Republic of China. However, with the arrival of tens of thousands of troops from Hubei, everyone knows who the master of Hunan is today!

A meeting is being held in the Hunan Provincial Assembly. The topic is about Hunan expelling former Kuomintang members and reviewing the incorporation of the Hunan Parliament into the Western Union Parliament. Hunan Parliament Speaker Tan Yankai sat on the chair with a teacup and just lowered his head to drink water, leaving him to make noise like a vegetable market, as if he was deaf, and he didn't even have his eyelids! Hunan's expelling former Kuomintang members is okay. First, President Yuan of the Central Committee personally ordered local provinces to cooperate, second, the master of Wuchang rarely used color to the Kuomintang, and third, the early nationals in the early years

The predecessor of the Party, the Tongmenghui, had many assassinated constitutionalists, and the relationship between the two sides was not very good. But there was no trouble. At that time, the Kuomintang almost refused everyone under the leadership of Song Jiaoren. Many constitutionalists in Hunan Province transformed into members of the Kuomintang and openly voted to join the ranks of the Kuomintang. Among them was Tan Yankai, the former governor of Hunan. Therefore, the current members of Hunan still don’t know what the determination of Hubei was. It would be fine if those purely Kuomintang members, at least one of the gentry could be protected.

If the central government wants to drive away the Kuomintang members of the Communist Party of China, it just hangs in the hearts of a member of Hunan. Then the incorporation of the Hunan Parliament into the Joint Parliament under Li Han has really touched the interests of many people. Compared with the money when Tan Yankai ruled Hunan, because of his weak foundation and he was originally a constitutionalist, he continued the strategy of Hunan's border officials relying on local gentry to manage the province since the late Qing Dynasty. Everyone sees what the person who is close to Hubei has done. After a year of suppression, the United Parliament has basically become a puppet, and at most it acts as an eraser seal when the military government needs it!

The House of Commons has been making noise for more than half an hour. Seeing that the opinions have not been unified, Tan Yankai was also a little anxious. To put it nicely, he and the one from Hubei are brothers, to put it bluntly, whether they are willing to give him face depends on whether he knows it or not. Although he already has some idea, he still sees a group of members in the House of Commons still making noises, and unconsciously looks at the old man with a long braid who has never opened his mouth from beginning to end like him - former governor of Hunan Yu Chengge.

Yu Chengge was originally an Anhui official. Logically speaking, due to the xenophobia of the provinces of the Republic of China, it was difficult for him, a rank-in officials of the previous dynasty to sit in the house and line up with a group of people. However, Yu Chengge had a good reputation. He was about to escape when he saw that the Hunan Revolution was not good. Unexpectedly, he had not yet packed up the things, so he surrounded the governor's yamen. Facing the rebel army holding short guns, he rushed to the front of the governor's yamen to ask the "master" to come out to answer. Yu Chengge hung the white flag of the "Big Han" and acted as a "black Han"

In order to delay the military plan, he cut off his long braids and took the initiative to agree with the "Republic". Because of his good attitude and he was the governor of Hunan, he, the governor of Hunan, had only been in office for three months and had no major mistakes. So the Hunan military government adopted a pacification attitude towards him. While appointing him as the acting speaker of the parliament, he later appointed him as the special counsel of the Governor's Office, etc., and also set up a luxury house for him to live in the city, which allowed him to stay in Changsha without fleeing.

Yu Chengge is a legitimate old man in the previous dynasty. After Tan Yankai became the governor, he continued his whip and also connected with some legitimate old man in the province. He became a leader of the legitimate old man and had some influence on the parliament. However, he was mean and stingy, and his eldest son was very gambled, so he was bribed by Tan Yankai early and said a few good things to him.

Yu Chengge was watching the show when he suddenly felt his eyes. After the two looked at each other, he nodded slightly, coughed and stood up and said, "All gentlemen, can you listen to me?"

"It turns out that it is the old man. I wonder what advice does the old man have?" Yu Chengge called him a shame. Usually, everyone respected him before, and most of them respected him.

He smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, gentry, we are in a difficult situation but are worried about the decay in Hunan Province. You should know that although Hunan is now flying a five-color flag, the real person in charge is Li Ge's subordinate. Governor Tan and Li Ge's subordinate have some friendship, so it's better to listen to what he means!"

This Li Ge Department refers to Li Han, who is also the deputy chief of the Army Department. After all, he is a legitimate old man in the previous dynasty. Yu Chengge can't even get rid of the habit of the previous dynasty. However, even though he said that, he has already understood the meaning of expressing it very clearly. It's just that you don't think about it. Our Hunan is now just a dish on Li Han's table, and how to deal with it is not the final say.

These words awakened a group of people, and their eyes fell on Tan Yankai in unison.

"Cough, I'm joking, and you don't have to worry so much. You can look around and see, aren't it clear? Today, all the gentry and famous gentry and scholars in Hunan are famous, such as the party and the like, but they are not allowed to invite them. President Yuan's request is one thing, and how many people there will be listened to after his orders have passed the Yangtze River is another thing. Inviting you today is nothing more than the request of Tan to submit to Commander-in-Chief, comforting you not to be too reserved. In the future, you need to rely on the local government and govern the military government in the village.

Therefore, please pay attention to the future and don’t go to the tobacco shops. Local governance depends on you. The military government only cares about finance, judicial and supervision, and future military allocations will be allocated by Hubei. You can rest assured some of the previous dynasties in the future!" The implication is that President Yuan ordered to drive away the Kuomintang members of the Kuomintang, and he only expels the party members, and the local gentry will change to a new constitution. Moreover, the local management will still be supervised by a group of gentry in the future. He only sent people to take over the power of judicial, military, administration and supervision.

Tan Yankai squinted his eyes and slowly whispered, but he didn't forget to slap the tea while speaking, and put it in his mouth and tasted it.

Seeing that he was thinking about something below, he also gave this promise, so there were naturally conditions below. He continued: "But Hubei also has some requirements, hoping that all the gentry will cooperate. Nowadays, some concepts of the previous dynasty must be thrown away. Hengzhou Prefecture is different from our Changsha's tax quota, Yongzhou and Yuezhou are the same. The commander-in-chief said that now it has arrived in the Republic of China, and the people's minds have changed, and they always have to give the people some benefits they have seen. You have to go back to other provinces under the rule of the military government and persuade local officials to reduce taxes so that local people can see the benefits.

Of course, the Commander-in-Chief will not make it difficult for you. I will give you a message to you. He sees the hard work of the local lords. After the Chinese New Year and after this period of work, the military government naturally needs to compensate the gentry. For example, local lords will be reduced and exempted, such as allowing low-paying investment in official business, paying some dividends, and even obtaining management rights. If you want to buy machinery in the future, you can also report to the military government. The relationship between the Commander-in-Chief and foreigners is very close, and the machines you buy are 20% or 30% cheaper than on the market, and you can save a lot of money!"

Putting the teacup on the table, he pushed his glasses and tapped his fingers on the table, "Everyone, the Commander-in-Chief once said why these eyes are in front of the head, because people have to look forward to move forward. Think about the gentry and famous scholars in Sichuan and Hubei. In the past two years, many people have earned 1.8 million taels of silver after following the Commander-in-Chief. Now even Zhang Caishen has given up his position as the Prime Minister in the Central Committee and has gone to Wuchang to work. The key is that he is young!"

He said everything he should say, but suddenly the House of Commons became quiet, and most of them were thinking about what he said.

Tan Yankai picked up the tea again. In the past half month, Hubei had mobilized two divisions to Changsha. It is said that there was another division general behind him in the past few days. He was not stupid, so he could see clearly that Hunan could not stop his young brother's ambitions. He simply gave up the military power of Hunan early in the morning and honestly became his current short-selling governor and the future governor of Hunan. Anyway, the young man did not let him suffer any losses. During the negotiations between the north and the south, he sent someone to give him a mahogany box. Once he opened it, he was neatly printed by the military government, worth as much as 500,000.

Isn’t this man only seeking fame, power and wealth in his entire life? He has two big fame, one is the notorious ‘Tan Gancao’ and one is a world-famous military strongman who has brought brothers; is the future governor in charge of civil affairs in Hunan Province big enough? Wealth is now worth hundreds of thousands and is still appreciating every day. Don’t there be many stocks worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in United Salt Industry?

Enough!
