"We, the Restoration Party, abide by the law. I repeat, abiding by the law is the minimum requirement. The law is equal to all men. There is no room for discussion. Moreover, the current law is formulated and announced by the Central Committee of the Restoration Party. In other words, the law is made by everyone! Does everyone understand this? "Vézé said loudly.
"Understood!" Pang Congcong's female voice sounded very unique among the sparse replies.
"Understood!" Vézé shouted.
"Understood!" The group of people who had undergone military training responded in unison.
"What I told everyone yesterday was that we systematically closed the door to accepting the old literati. This is not the law, this is the system, the system of our Restoration Party. Because our Restoration Party is now in power, this system is the system of the government and the Party in the Liberated Areas. Then those who do not abide by the system do not violate the law, but violate discipline. This discipline is the discipline of our Restoration Party, the discipline of the government. Only the members of the Party and the government must abide by this discipline. Our Party's discipline has nothing to do with those outside the Party. Zhang Sanjia's rules have no reason to control the people of Li Si's family! Does everyone understand what I'm saying? "This time, Wei Ze shouted.
A considerable number of comrades replied loudly, "Understood!"
The Minister of Personnel, Wei Changrong, suggested after everyone answered, "Commander-in-chief, let's hold a few examinations!"
"Good! Let's do a few examinations specifically for this! " This was a rule established since the era of the General Staff. The core theoretical content must be comprehensively examined. Only by passing the examination could one pass the examination. After many years of practice, the General Staff summed up this as "supporting or not supporting is not the primary problem, knowing or not knowing is the foundation of all problems."
"Everyone must understand one thing. This is not to punish anyone, and it is not to find trouble with anyone. It is the ideas represented by the old literati that are not good for building our country. To understand this, we must first understand the operating model of our Restoration Party! "Vézé said this, but he was thinking about something else. He decided that the main work in the future was the construction of systems and ideas. Pure industrial development had been placed in the back of the list.
The results of the exam were relatively optimistic. Those who could understand these basic concepts were naturally given leadership positions, and they naturally had to take on the job of explaining. The leaders knew very well that if they couldn't understand these concepts, they would only be one step away from being dismissed. Not to mention that this concept itself was quite self-consistent, even if it was purely for the sake of the position that they had worked so hard to obtain, they had to complete this mission.
At the Guangdong representative's station, a Guangdong representative raised a question, "Then many of the policies we are implementing are directly related to other people's families. Doesn't this conflict with the Zhang family's rule that they have no reason to control the Li family's people?"
"Give me an example!" Pang Congcong was extremely focused.
"Protect women!" the Guangdong representative immediately replied. This question made the representatives of Guangdong smile uncontrollably. Bringing up the issue of protecting women in front of the female governor, Pang Congcong, the female deputy secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, was really like pointing at a monk and scolding a bald donkey.
Pang Congcong didn't care about this at all. She replied, "Equality between men and women is the philosophy of the Restoration Party. Members of the Restoration Party must accept it! Our Restoration Party is the ruling party of China, so our ideals must be implemented in China! This is our ideal, our philosophy! Therefore, when we implement it, we realize our ideals through three channels. The first is the law, the Women and Children Protection Act, the Marriage Law, and the relevant regulations in these laws themselves reflect our will. We can't ask the people to immediately have the idea of equality between men and women, but the people must abide by the law. The second is publicity. We are publicizing our ideals, hoping to let more people know and accept our ideals. Even if they don't accept it, they have to know the protection of the law. The third is administrative implementation, including the Women's Federation and the inclination in employment arrangements, all for the sake of this concept. "
Pang Congcong spoke seriously. Although she had no intention of pressuring the Guangdong representatives at this time, her solemn attitude made this group of people feel considerable pressure.
"Therefore, if the members of the Restoration Party don't accept the idea of equality between men and women, then they must learn to accept it. If they really refuse to accept it at all, then they can leave the Restoration Party! Our Restoration Party can't control the people, but our discipline is something that the members of the Restoration Party must accept. There is no room for discussion! "When Pang Congcong said this, her attitude was already very strict.
As a woman, Pang Congcong felt that such a statement might be a little too domineering, so she calmed down a little and continued, "If you want to overthrow this idea, then ask for the party's philosophy to be changed at the party meeting. If more people support this idea, well, according to the party constitution, if more than 70% of the party members support it, the party constitution can be changed! "
It had to be admitted that when Pang Congcong said that the party constitution could be changed, in fact, many people couldn't help but have the impulse to change the article of equality between men and women. However, everyone just thought about it. Perhaps there were still many people who had the courage to jump out and challenge Pang Congcong. Jumping out and challenging Vézé was really beyond the limits of most party members and representatives.
After a few days, at least when it came to answering the examination papers, everyone honestly wrote down the content of the study on the questions and answers.
Three major styles: the style of integrating theory with practice; the style of closely connecting with the people; the style of criticism and self-criticism.
Organizational principles: the minority obeys the majority, the lower obeys the higher, and the local government obeys the central government. Obedience to the party constitution and organizational discipline.
After the examination results came out, Vézé finally felt relieved. As long as everyone knew what discipline was, although there would still be punishment in the future, it would at least not turn into a big internal fight. It would be an illusion to expect the system to support the bottom line, but it would be a complete delusion to expect a good operating organization without a system.
After emphasizing the discipline and system again, Vézé brought up the original question, "What we are against is the negative influence of the ideas of the old literati on the party, so should we adopt retroactive measures? What's your opinion?"
"I oppose retroactive measures." Chen Xin immediately jumped up to express his opinion. This guy was from Tong City, the political commissar of the Hunan Military Region. He was a rare rebel with a big landlord background. Since he joined the revolution in 1853, he was quite senior. Under everyone's gaze, Chen Xin said loudly, "Since we are against this idea, then we should educate the government. There's no need to hide this kind of thing. "
Seeing that no one dared to support him, Chen Xin said unhurriedly, "Since we have decided to shed all pretense of cordiality with the old literati, why don't we tell everyone? And I think we are shedding all pretense of cordiality with the old literati. If some of them or their families understand our idea and repent, that will be our success! "
"Well said! Our goal is not to go against the old literati. If we really want to go against them, we might as well kill them all. What we want is their opinion, so we should at least confirm it. "Qi Yuchang, Vézé's father-in-law, immediately expressed his support. He had long given up hope on his future son-in-law, Vézé, and no longer had the delusion of changing Vézé's mind through persuasion. The democratic mechanism of the party had become the last hope for Qi Yuchang.
The characteristic of the democratic system of the party was that the leader might not be able to decide the final outcome of the discussion, but he could decide what to discuss. Vézé didn't want to play any tricks, so he divided the whole issue into two topics. The first was whether to pursue the recommendation of the party comrades, and the second was whether to deal with the old literati according to Vézé's original method.
In the first topic, ninety percent of the representatives expressed no support for pursuing the old literati. The second topic was 97 percent in favor of closing the door of the old literati. As for whether or not it was to reform the old literati, no one dared to say if Vézé didn't mention it.
After all, they still had to take care of their comrades. Naturally, no one agreed to pursue the reform. Similarly, no one thought that there was any legitimate reason to go against Vézé for the sake of the old literati.
After the problem of the party was temporarily solved, it was the problem of foreign war. The navy's luck was pretty good. After setting off from Ryukyu, it didn't take them too much effort to find the sulfur islands that Vézé mentioned. The Sulfur Islands were volcanic islands, and Vézé didn't want to give up on the idea of seizing the islands in the Pacific. The reason why he chose this archipelago was obviously because of the sulfur mines on the islands. But this was only an excuse. Vézé hoped to subtly influence the Liberation Army's interest in the archipelago. In 1865, the strategic value of these islands was still very limited, but in a few years, the significance of these islands would become more and more obvious.
When the navy returned to Ryukyu, they encountered the Shimazu Clan's warship. Ryukyu was now paying tribute to the Shimazu Clan, and the Shimazu Clan came to collect the tribute.
Of course, the two sides couldn't come to an agreement, especially after the Liberation Army told the Shimazu Clan to forget about Ryukyu in the future. The Liberation Army's thousand-ton warship made the Shimazu Clan's small ship not have the courage to directly confront them, but the Liberation Army didn't think that the Shimazu Clan would obediently accept such a loss.
Other than his position as the party chairman, all of Vézé's other titles had the power to declare war. After hearing Vézé's words, everyone asked, "When does the commander-in-chief plan to go to war?"
"Let the Ryukyu royalty move inland first. After this process is completed, Ryukyu will become a prefecture of China. Next is to ask the Shimazu Clan to accept reality. If the Shimazu Clan isn't willing to sign a treaty with us, I don't see any other choice other than war. "Vézé gave a solution.
