When the news of Uncle En being attacked was sent to Vézé's desk, it was already the seventh day after the incident. According to the operating system of various departments that had been slowly established over the years, the fact that this matter was sent to Vézé's desk was already the result of Vézé's special attention. Otherwise, this matter would at most be on the desk of the principal and secretary of the Nanjing Party School.
Before this matter was the investigation of the anti-establishment guys by the Counter-Insurgency Committee. So far, a total of more than 160 participants had been identified. These participants were divided into several groups, and most of them were second-generation kids. Among them, there were people who had strongly questioned and opposed the Military Governor Vaize. At least in terms of the summary of the confessions, these people opposed the state ownership of land. They believed that it would be good if they could become big landowners.
Vézé didn't care what these people thought. When he was young, he also had the idea of becoming a big landowner. Young people were easy to indulge in flights of fancy. Purely on the matter of 'wanting to be a landowner', the group of young people who were arrested were just backward in thinking and made wrong remarks. They were far from being detained for a long time.
After reading this, Vézé raised his head and looked at Wei Changrong sitting across from him. In Vézé's impression, even if Wei Changrong was not an arrogant rooster in this life, he was never a rooster that lost a fight. However, at this time, Wei Changrong finally showed a helpless and even powerless expression. Vézé really wanted to persuade Wei Changrong, but he didn't know how to do it. These hundreds of second-generation kids were divided into several groups, and the core of these groups was Wei Changrong's daughter, Wei Wenrui.
Wei Wenrui was in charge of the financial institutions of the Min dynasty in Europe. Around Wei Wenrui, the source of money, many groups found some ways to make money. The simpler model was that these people invested some money in Wei Wenrui, and Wei Wenrui gave these people interest every year. The slightly more complicated model was that some people exported products to Europe, and Wei Wenrui helped these products enter Europe through her channels. No matter how one looked at it, the benefits of these guys were much higher than working in a factory, being a soldier, or farming. For the sake of profit, people naturally formed a group around Wei Wenrui.
"Fourth Uncle … It's my fault for not disciplining Wenrui properly." Wei Changrong finally spoke.
Vézé's mood was not as gloomy as it seemed on his face. It was not that Vézé thought that Wei Wenrui did not do anything wrong, but that Wei Wenrui would do these things did not surprise Vézé. Moreover, the problem wasn't that Wei Wenrui had done such a thing, but that the people around Wei Wenrui had really poked the hornet's nest.
It had been half a month since the second generation, who could be described as vassals, were caught. Their parents already knew that the matter was serious and began to use their connections to get them back. At this time, the Politburo members who had not left Nanjing reported to the Central Committee about this matter. Of course, it was not so easy to get out of the Purge Committee. Even though there was no crime of disrespect, the Purge Committee was on the opposite side of the Military Governor Vaize from the perspective of the system. Naturally, they would not let them go so easily.
"Changrong, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Vézé asked Wei Changrong. No matter what, Wei Changrong was the Minister of the Organization Department.
"I … Fourth Uncle, it's not appropriate for me to say this matter." Wei Changrong answered readily.
Vézé chuckled and said, "You are the Minister of the Organization Department. If you are not suitable to say this, who is more suitable? The Prosecutor General of the Supreme People's Procuratorate? "
The meaning was so clear that Wei Changrong understood that Vézé did not want to make things unmanageable. Now that the crime of disrespect had been cleared, Wei Changrong also knew that Vézé never intended to restore this thing. The Purge Committee had no legal basis, so they could only do things according to their duties. The crime of counter-revolution was set up for those who opposed the major political foundations. The main reason why the Purge Committee arrested these people was probably because they dared to speak against Vézé in a crowd. But they probably would not use this to convict these people.
Wei Changrong finally answered, "All those who have public office should be fired first. As for other punishments, Fourth Uncle, as the Minister of the Organization Department, I don't want others to affect the work of the Organization Department so easily. "
"I won't do anything to those old comrades. Although they did not educate their children well, I believe that they will never incite their children to oppose the national policy. " Vézé drew a line in this matter first. Vézé believed that it was necessary to let the old comrades die a good death.
Wei Changrong agreed with Vézé very much. It was not a good thing to be too harsh. Before he could express his approval, Vézé continued, "As for those old comrades, I think they should also take a good rest. They should either step back to the second line or retire directly. "
"Okay." Wei Changrong did not think that there was anything wrong with what Vézé did. It was not a good thing to be lenient all the time. If this matter did not happen, it would be a demonstration effect in the future. When anyone could criticize and oppose the basic policy of the country, it was bound to be a chaotic situation.
"What about their brothers and sisters?" Wei Changrong asked.
"Talk to them in the organization and see what they say." Vézé gave the answer.
Wei Changrong nodded repeatedly in agreement, while Vézé smiled bitterly in his heart. Before he transmigrated, Vézé felt that it was a bit too much to see the party organization ask the people who were to be talked to express their views. Now, Vézé realized that it was not too much. Many of these people were also educated in the same family. Even if these people might have different political views from their brothers, from a psychological point of view, everyone thought that they were more similar to their brothers. Therefore, organizing the talks was a kind of protection. If they did not organize the talks and let these people be condemned by everyone, the result would be 99% bad.
"Uncle, what about those people?" Wei Changrong raised the key point of the problem. He did not believe that Vézé would just deprive these rich second generations of their official positions. Now that they were involved with Wei Changrong's daughter, once Vézé pursued the matter, Wei Changrong's daughter, Wei Wenrui, would be in deep trouble.
"Let Wenrui come back immediately. In addition, find out who is the broker for those people. Wenrui is far away in Europe, and she does not have the energy to serve those people. There must be a broker in the middle. Catch these brokers, "Vézé replied.
This arrangement made Wei Changrong feel much more at ease. Although catching the brokers was to catch the scapegoat, it was not wrong to think about it carefully. If it were not for these brokers, with Wei Wenrui's temperament, she would definitely not be willing to be a tool for others. It was good enough that Wei Wenrui did not force others to work for her.
Wei Changrong felt that the matter was almost settled. Before he was ready to leave, he asked again, "Uncle, is there anything else we need to do?"
"This matter will eventually be treated as a case study. As I said in North America, state ownership of land is the fundamental system of the Min dynasty. Now there is such a group of people who still oppose it. What else can we do except to strengthen the publicity?" Vézé replied calmly.
This time, Wei Changrong was not ready to leave immediately. He sat down steadily and asked, "Uncle, how are you going to publicize?"
"Don't worry, you don't have to take responsibility for this matter. You have to find the Publicity Department. I want to see what the Publicity Department is going to do. "Vézé smiled.
Wei Changrong felt that there was some inexplicable malice in Vézé's smile, but he did not know what the malice was aimed at. However, he did not want to ask again. Wei Changrong was not afraid of Vézé, but he also felt that there was no need to get involved in the work of the Publicity Department at this time. For Wei Changrong, in addition to his own daughter, there were other sons and daughters who needed to be taught a lesson. Wei Changrong felt that Wei Wenrui was stupid enough to be entangled with those idiots. This was really stupid.
Shen Xin, the political commissar of the North American Military Region, did not know such a thing had happened in China. When Vézé sent a telegram to Shen Xin, he only said one thing, which was to let Shen Xin prepare to return to Beijing to be the deputy minister of the Organization Department in half a year. This telegram was sent to Shen Xin by the comrades of the Organization Department in North America. Looking at the serious expressions of these comrades whose ranks were lower than his, Shen Xin felt very uncomfortable for a while. Looking at the serious expressions of these comrades, Shen Xin suddenly understood one thing. These people would be Shen Xin's subordinates in half a year.
"I understand. I accept the organization's arrangement," Shen Xin replied. If Vézé had not agreed to such a personnel case, it would not have been exposed. After the group of people from the Organization Department left, Shen Xin felt confused again. What was the purpose of this change? Changing the political commissar of the military region before the war was over, did someone want Shen Xin to make way for someone?
Shen Xin did not think that Vézé would be stupid enough to ask Shen Xin to get out and make way for Qi Rui. Putting Qi Rui directly in the position of the political commissar of the military region was tantamount to roasting Qi Rui on the fire. It was hard to say whether other people would do such a thing, but Vézé would not do it in any case. In this case, Shen Xin could not understand the significance of such a personnel transfer at all.
Wei Changrong did not express his opinion on this decision. He believed in Vézé as much as Shen Xin, so he did not think this matter had anything to do with Wei Wenrui. Wei Changrong was already 61 years old. According to the retirement system, he was already in his last term. As the political commissar of the North American Military Region, Shen Xin would inevitably have a lot of personnel promotions after the end of the war. It was very suitable for him to be the deputy minister of the Organization Department. Therefore, Wei Changrong only felt disappointed. When working, he felt tired countless times. He only hoped that he could drop everything and have a good rest. Now the rest he longed for was finally coming, but Wei Changrong felt a burst of disappointment in his heart. Now he felt that it was not bad not to rest.
Just when Wei Changrong was in a bad mood, Wei Changrong returned home and saw his wife greeting him with tears in her eyes. When she saw Wei Changrong, she grabbed Wei Changrong's arm. "Changrong, why did I hear that Fourth Uncle wants to remove you from your position?"
"Where did you hear this nonsense?" Wei Changrong said angrily.
Seeing Wei Changrong's anger, his wife burst into more tears. "Recently, there was news from Nanjing, saying that the commander-in-chief ordered a large scale arrest in Nanjing. My nephew was also arrested. "
"Huh?" Of course, Wei Changrong did not think that the rumors outside were true. When he heard that his wife's nephew was also involved, the first thing that came to Wei Changrong's mind was the "broker" Vézé mentioned. With such a thought, Wei Changrong's anger burst out uncontrollably. He shouted at his wife, "Is it your nephew who is playing tricks and pulling strings to find our Wenrui?"
Wei Changrong's wife was one of the 20 beauties given to Vézé by the King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing. At that time, Vézé, who was still the Prince Of Qi of the Taiping Rebellion, drew lots to distribute these beauties to his subordinates. At that time, there was no spare time for idle people, so this beauty also came out to work and became a founding hero according to the time she participated in the revolution. However, perhaps it was because of her initial perception, she always felt that she was much inferior to Wei Changrong at home. Now that she was repeatedly shouted at by Wei Changrong and heard that her nephew was actually involved in her precious daughter, she was so scared that her face changed and she could not speak.
Wei Changrong, on the other hand, vented his emotions by shouting at his wife. Thinking carefully about the development of the matter, Wei Changrong saw the key to solving his daughter's problem. This broker could not be his wife's nephew. If he was, then they would be relatives colluding with each other. This broker had to be an outsider, so that they could put all the blame on the outsider. After Wei Wenrui was removed from his position, he could use a "personal relationship" as an excuse. After understanding the key, Wei Changrong calmed down. Looking at his wife, who was trembling like a kitten, Wei Changrong's heart softened. Although she was also in her fifties, Wei Changrong's wife had not suffered for more than 30 years because she was well-nourished. She still looked like a Jiangnan beauty. This was how things between husband and wife were. No matter how bad their mood was, as long as the other party looked good, many conflicts could be resolved.
Before Wei Changrong could comfort his wife, someone knocked on the door. Wei Changrong opened the door and saw that it was the telegrapher who delivered the telegram. After receiving the telegram, Wei Changrong saw five words. There was a problem with his son-in-law. It was signed by Lin Asheng. Wei Changrong was very grateful to his old brothers. Lin Asheng was the key to promoting Wei Changrong's core as quickly as possible. Between Lin Asheng, his old brother, and Wei Changrong's son-in-law, Wei Changrong trusted his old brother Lin Asheng unconditionally. Therefore, Wei Changrong was very surprised. What was his son-in-law thinking? He actually wanted to divorce Wei Wenrui at such a critical moment. Based on the current development of the matter, this divorce was very beneficial to Wei Wenrui. The problem was whether this divorce was because Wei Changrong's son-in-law had predicted the future development, or if Wei Changrong's son-in-law didn't know the future development.
After thinking about it, Wei Changrong decided to let his son-in-law make a trip. As a result, after making a phone call, the news that Wei Changrong's son-in-law had been taken away. When Wei Changrong hung up the phone, he found that things were developing more and more strangely. A feeling of uneasiness grew stronger and stronger. What on earth did these bastard young people do? Wei Changrong now felt unsure.
The Purge Committee was not a national agency, so it only had its own office building in Nanjing. It did not have so many agencies in other parts of the country. However, it was very easy for the Purge Committee to get an office in Beijing. It could directly borrow a house from the Discipline Supervision Committee.
After Wei Changrong's son-in-law was brought into the room, the Purge Committee told him the identity of the Purge Committee's staff. This time, Wei Changrong's son-in-law's expression changed greatly.
"We know that you have some connections with your lover and let some people invest some money in your lover's side. This is not our business. We want to know how your lover spread all kinds of information through you and used it to attack comrade Wang Mingshan in the East African administrative region, "the staff of the Purge Committee asked calmly.
Wei Changrong's son-in-law's expression changed greatly. He hurriedly said, "That's not true!"
The staff of the Purge Committee did not deny or refute Wei Changrong's son-in-law's words. The person in charge of taking notes of the conversation between the two sides in the conversation log. The interrogation proceeded at an unhurried pace.
Wei Kun did not know that so many interesting things had happened in the mainland. He first gathered the scattered troops in Port Sudan with great difficulty, then rushed back to Khartoum to participate in the preparatory meeting of the local parliament. Village chiefs and representatives of influential tribes from all over the country rushed to Khartoum to attend the meeting.
Some of the Besa people had already sought refuge with Wei Kun. Wei Kun sent these people to various tribes and villages to deliver letters. Those who dared to not attend the meeting or refused to attend the meeting would be killed by the Besa people after the meeting was over. They would then be captured and sold as slaves.
After clearly expressing their strong attitude and stance, most of the black uncles from the tribes sent people to attend the meeting. When Wei Kun returned to Khartoum, he saw a list of the tribes that had run away. After being threatened by the Besa people, the tribesmen were so scared that they all migrated.
"Sir, please rest assured. Those people can run away, but the temple cannot run away. After this meeting, please ask the tribes that are willing to follow Sir to provide information. We will definitely capture those people and sell them to the Arabs, "the representative of the Besa people said in very broken Chinese.
Wei Kun suppressed his laughter and asked a question. "The imams can run away, but the temple cannot run away. Who gave them to you?"
"It was Daoist Daoquan Zi who taught us. You asked us to go to the Dao Sect, so we listened to Daoist Xing Yang's sermon and understood that the Arabs were lying to us. The real God would not be angry because of our actions, and if we want to become stronger, we have to do things according to reason. The Arabs lied to us and made us believe in God, but they did not have the method to do things. In the end, they sent us to our deaths. Their gods are all fake gods. " The representative of the Besa people was very agitated. He shook his head as he spoke, causing his messy hair to dance in the air.
There was an advantage to the meeting with the black uncles. They did not know much, so there was not much to discuss. After three days of intense discussion, the meeting ended with three results. First, the black uncles expressed their willingness to submit to the administration of the East African administrative region. Second, the black uncles admitted that they wanted to divide their territories and determine the boundaries. Third, the black uncles agreed that any future disputes would be resolved through the meeting.
Wei Kun was not very optimistic about the results of this discussion. With the level of development of the black uncles, they were probably worse than the barbarians during the Shang Dynasty in China. So the meaning of the agreement was limited, and the history of the Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty in China was a history of constantly annexing the surrounding barbarians. Wei Kun was already prepared to experience all kinds of bloodshed and conflicts.
