Chapter five hundred and fifty seventh another knife

?On June 7, after two months of heavy government troops cleared, the bandit chaos in Henan Province was completely over. With the last bandit army that refused to accept unconditional disarmament and harmed the local area, the bandit chaos in Henan, which lasted for two years, finally ended completely. For this day, the central government mobilized two new main divisions of the National Defense Forces to suppress bandits in Henan, and the Ministry of Finance also paid nearly four million military expenses. "《" However, the Henan bandit chaos was completely resolved once and for all. With the current strategy of meeting agricultural tax that the government is continuing to promote, it is certain that in the future, as long as there is no major natural disaster that is rare in a century, the government's inaction during natural disasters, basically, Henan, the fertile soil of the Thousand Mile Central Plains, has been stable!

The chaos in the Northeast is still continuing, and the protests between the Japanese and Russian governments continue. The new president is still tough in implementing a bandit suppression array in the Northeast. The bandit chaos in the Northeast is not the same as Henan, which has only emerged in the past two years. There are 154 counties in the three eastern provinces, of which at least one-third of the county towns directly or indirectly received threats from bandits and horse thieves. According to the conservative intelligence submitted by the Presidential Office at the Bureau of Investigation, there are at least 700 horse thieves and other forces in the three northeastern provinces, of which the number is as large as two or three thousand, and the few are even forty or fifty.

People dared to rise up after five or six guns. This is related to the chaos in the Northeast. Secondly, it is because the three eastern provinces are very wealthy, with countless minerals, furs and ginseng. Every year, they attract a large number of merchants from the inner and outer worlds, even foreign countries to the Northeast. The more vicious horse thieves can even charge nearly 100,000 tolls a year. Conservatively, there are at least 70,000 to 150,000 bandit troops in the three provinces, and the guns scattered in their hands are terrifying. Japan, Russia and the Qing government of the previous dynasty have to bear part of the responsibility for this.

Therefore, the Northeast is a protracted battle. For those who are relatively clean, they can recruit as much as possible. However, for those who are full of evil deeds and are covered with the blood of the people of the three northeastern provinces, the Northeast Payment Army Command even used heavy artillery to bombard the city blocks built in the mountains. But so far, only less than 30,000 horse thieves have received recruitment or been defeated. The short-term pain in the Northeast will continue for a while.

However, although the Northeast still has to experience some pain for a while, under the strength of the new government and the regime, other provinces in China have all emerged from the smoke of war. As the atmosphere of the second congressional election since the Republic of China is becoming more and more intense, the economy has gradually emerged from the pain caused by several wars over the past two years. However, the easing of the domestic political situation does not mean that Li Han and the senior government's central government have no other actions, and there are still... not only many, including all levels, but also their strengthening of centralization is still being further strengthened.

On June 9, the Presidential Office issued the latest appointment, appointing former Xinjiang Governor Yang Zengxin as the governor of Xinjiang, and appointing the commander of the 11th Division of the National Defense Forces. Hu Yuzhen, who had arrived in Xinjiang, was the Xinjiang Guardian Envoy, and began to divide the military and political power in Xinjiang. The first task Beijing gave Hu Yuzhen, the Xinjiang Guardian Envoy, was to send troops to the black Gobi, and must wipe out the "black Lamas" entrenched in the black Gobi and Kobudo area by the end of the year!

The only four remaining soldiers in the country were turned into three. The methods shown by the new government and the hard suppression of local departments did not dare to take any action. However, Beijing did not blindly promote toughness. The outgoing of several signals also made the only powerful factions in the south breath a little relieved. That was half of Tang Jiyao's teacher, Cai E, who was once transferred by Yuan Shikai to Beijing, finally came out after being reinvigorated by the new president many times. He accepted Beijing's commission to select a site to imitate the Berlin Military Academy in Germany, established the first real-life comprehensive military university, and served as the first president of the "China National Defense and Military Academy".

It is really helpless to have the emergence of the "China National Defense and Military Academy". After the central government's refusal to invest more funds during the Yuan Shikai period, and a large number of teachers and instructors were poached to the Yangtze River Army Academy by high salaries, it has basically declined. In 14 years, it has only 142 teachers and students, which is not so much a military academy as an ordinary military academy, and it has no momentum of the first military academy in China.

The Yangtze Army Academy also has strong limitations. In order to meet the shortage of officers caused by the expansion of the army in a short period of time. After the "Yangtze River Army Academy" established in Hubei was later recommended by Jiang Fangzhen, it was changed to a military training academy, which mainly consists of "three to six months" short-term training. Only a small number of the students in the academy are recruited from other parts of the country, and most of them are selected from the army and soldiers with higher cultural levels. Because they already have a certain foundation, the military academy focuses on command, tactics, strategies, and the limitations are very obvious.

The construction of a comprehensive military university is imminent, which led to the birth of the "National Defense Military Academy".

Cai E, the former Southwest King, was appointed as the first principal of the National Defense and Military Academy. This attitude seemed to imply something. You should know that although everyone in China now knows that the chief of the army is Duan Qirui, those who are a little well-informed understand that the new president trusts his chief of staff more than Jiang Fangzhen, and even calls him the "real chief of the army" behind his back! Jiang Fangzhen, a domestic military expert, will soon be able to grasp a lot of things about him. For example, he was the president of the Yangtze River Army Academy. Not only did he personally trained tens of thousands of low, middle and senior officers for Li Han, but he also had a wide influence in the army. If Cai E was the principal of the "National Defense and Military Academy", he would definitely have a great increase in the influence in the army in the future, and he might be able to further gain the trust of the strong new president.

This, in the eyes of all domestic forces, may be a signal of relief sent by the new president!

However, it did not make all walks of life relieved. The central government raised the "reducing the vassal states" in May and raised another knife. After more than two months of brewing, the new government finally had to take action on unifying the domestic currency one month after taking back the currency issuance rights of the Bank of Communications and Bank of China. On June 14, the new president personally went to the State Council to attend a currency discussion meeting with the participation of various cabinet ministries.

"When will the president come back? He didn't say hello in advance, otherwise I will go to greet you..." Xu Shichang, who was sitting in the middle of the conference table, stood up, looked at Li Han's dusty look, and smiled, "Have you worked hard on the way?"

Everyone turned around and stood up to say hello.

Two days ago, Li Han went to Tianjin to consult with the US Standard Oil Company on the only mechanical equipment of Yanchang Oil Mine in China, and finally decided to purchase 2.5 million US dollars of machinery from the US Standard Oil Company to expand the Yanchang Oil Mine output, which can only produce 1 ton of oil per day, to 10,000 to 20,000 tons per year, in order to solve the domestic oil supply crisis due to the emergence of aviation, military and tank machinery such as aircraft. Although the international oil price is very cheap now, the central government purchased 6,000 tons of various types of oil from Royal Shell Oil and US Standard Oil for war reserves a few months ago, but once the war is really about to start, it is actually not enough to use it. Therefore, expanding the oil mine output in Yanchang County, Shaanxi is one of the most headache-inducing problems that the current army needs.

The President smiled and said, "Please sit down. We have just returned from a special train. I heard that State Xu held a State Council meeting to discuss the issue of unifying currency, so I rushed over. Without prior notice, I hope you will forgive me..."

Although he was laughing on his face, not many people felt that he was laughing. Xu Shichang was very good at calculating and wanted to take the opportunity to convene a state meeting when he was not in Beijing, reach a resolution as much as possible at the meeting, and pass their currency unification bill, causing the established facts to make the president suffer a loss. But he definitely did not expect that Li Han had already set up a spy in Beijing. After the turmoil, he immediately abandoned the negotiations with the Americans and rushed back to Beijing with great speed, but instead caught Xu Shichang off guard.

"The meeting has been held for two days, and it has been delayed to reach a unified opinion. I am looking forward to the president coming back to preside over the overall situation..." Xu Shichang's smile was clearly a bitter smile. He originally wanted to catch him off guard while Li Han was not in Beijing, but he did not want to get practical benefits from it in his opinion. The cabinet finance, business and other ministries were just delaying the meeting, and even Zhou Xuexi had no intention of obeying it. As a result, he was on the back but couldn't get it. He could only see the new president who had reacted and returned to Beijing to take the opportunity to take advantage of it.

He stood up and wanted to give up the position of state affairs to Li Han, but the latter smiled and refused, "Old State Affairs, this is the Prime Minister's Office. You are the protagonist, I'll just listen." After giving in, Xu Shichang was still sitting in the middle of the table. Li Han found a seat next to him. On the left was the Chief Finance Minister Hu Ruilin, the President of the Bank of Communications Liang Shiyi and the President of the Bank of China Zhou Ziqi were both sitting near him. Zhou Xuexi stood up and faced Duan Qirui's ugly face and handed over a stack of documents. Everyone in the room could clearly hear him, "The president came in a hurry, probably not yet read the minutes of the meeting two days ago, and they were all here..."

Hu Ruilin also took out several documents from the entrainment and handed them to Li Han: "This is the introduction of the Ministry of Finance's current currency in China..."

"Everyone, the meeting has officially begun. I originally planned to hold a State Council meeting for preparations, and I specially invited all the ministers of the cabinet to open up their opinions and give more opinions. As a result, due to differences of opinions, it was delayed to reach an agreement, which delayed the agenda. Although today is called the State Council, it should actually be a financial meeting. However, the monetary issue is related to the fundamentals of our country's finances. The President of the Cabinet and the President personally attended the meeting, which made me feel that I have a great responsibility. In any case, I need to achieve a relatively ideal result... I would like to introduce the currency situation on the market first."
