Chapter 1007, Mi Zhang Northwest

.While the Market Garden Operation was making an emergency adjustment, the major adjustment of officers in Beijing and Fengtian still did not subside. After the Beijing Base Camp and the Northern Military Administration rectified the Beijing and Tianjin areas, more than 200 officials were dismissed in the "style investigation".

Only more than ten of these two hundred officials were punished for the Beidamen riots after being quickly investigated by the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Political Supervision Department, and were punished for crimes such as "accepting bribes", "bullying and dominating", "corruption and abuse of power" and even "unqualified cultural level".

All officials follow the principle of speed and strict handling. In the mild case, they dismissed their posts and investigated, seized their property, and sent them to prison for fixed-term imprisonment, and in severe cases, they were sentenced to death. For example, a county and town chief was a long-term fishing and robbed the people of the people, even sheltered the relatives of the murderer, etc., and were directly taken to the court and executed on the spot.

The front page headlines of major newspapers are all focused on this matter. According to Wu Shaoting's instructions, this rectification storm is to make a big fuss and all bureaucrats are subject to a serious warning.

For a time, public opinion was everywhere and there was a lot of discussion. The people's views on this matter were naturally applauding. After decades of bullying by the mighty bureaucrats, today the head of state finally made the head of state to rectify it. It has to be said that the head of state is doing practical things and doing good things for this country, and is truly considering the people.

On the morning of October 2, Deng Keng held a press conference on the discipline rectification campaign at the Beijing Base Camp. At the meeting, he re-emphasized that the fact that someone had done something wrong in the Beijing Base Camp not only disrupted the order of military key areas, but also hurt the dignity of many students, recruits and people present at that time. He told all the reporters present that the rectification in Beijing this time was an explanation to the people, and the central government would not allow the existence of so-called bureaucratic privileges.

Before the press conference ended, Deng Keng also announced the rectification of some central-level officials, including Ni Yingdian, the Director of the Logistics Director of the Ministry of Defense during the Beidamen riot, Li Hongxiang, and many others. They were all dismissed for violating the bureaucratic style of chaos and discipline, and some of them were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment.

This press conference quickly shocked the whole country. Many people felt that the head of state directly ordered the rectification of discipline in Beijing. What was even more surprising was that even Ni Yingdian, a veteran who had gone through the reign of the revolutionary period and then to the republic period, was not spared, which shows that the head of state was absolutely serious.

However, it is precisely because of Ni Yingdian's fall that other high-ranking central veterans were worried that even Ni Yingdian could suffer because he protected his nephew a little. Who would dare to leave any handle in the future? He worked hard until today, and could not live up to the official power, or even give some care to relatives and friends. This is such a coward!

Not only were the elders who followed Wu Shaoting worried, but the old figures from the northern provinces and the old people during the Beiyang government also had no idea of ​​the Beijing incident. Although it seemed that there was a reason for this incident this time, people who were presumptuous in the Beijing base camp like Zhang Hanju should indeed be severely punished. But who can tell whether Wu Shaoting had other scheming?

The most taboo thing that founding leaders of all dynasties is those powerful heroes, and almost no dynasty has not experienced major actions for this matter. With a young and ambitious ruler like Wu Shaoting, naturally, he will not tolerate the threat of the bureaucratic group to his dominance. The Beijing incident is likely to be just a small test.

The military and political chiefs of the northern provinces have more or less concerns. While sending people to inquire about the news, they actively unite with allies within and outside the province, and must protect their local forces in any case.

Among these provinces with panic, the northwest Gansu was the most worried. The one who controlled the military power of the northwest was the famous Ma family army in history. Although Cai E and Wei Rucong had previously rectified the military affairs of the Northern Second Army in Lanzhou, reorganized the five divisions of the Ma family army into two divisions and organized them into the sequence of the Northern Second Army, this does not mean that the central government can really fully control the Ma family army's jurisdiction.

Especially the Ma family army in Qinghai, the concept of local emperors has long been deeply rooted. If it were not for the weakening of the Beiyang government and the northern provinces turned against each other, they would never have bowed to the Nanjing central government easily.

Although the four horses in the northwest are divided into two factions, they can be said to be in the same relationship. The Ma family in Qinghai and the Ma family in Ningxia maintain a close relationship. Although they look different and act independently, they try their best to maintain the balance of interests between the two sides and not violate each other.

The reason why the Ma family army in the two places was extremely sensitive to this Beijing incident was mainly because their situation was surprisingly similar to that in the three northeastern provinces. The Ma family army and the Fengtian warlords were almost both from the grass-roots. The central government set up the First North Army in the Northeast and the Second North Army in the Northwest.

The "military revelation incident" in the three northeastern provinces in April is a reflection of the hearts of all the Ma family army in the northwest. If there is such an opportunity, they will also take such actions, and they will even do more ruthlessly than the Fengtian warlords.

However, the "military rebellion incident" in the three northeastern provinces ultimately failed, and the price paid was that the entire Fengtian warlords were disintegrated, Xu Lanzhou, Feng Delin and others were all undermined, and the troops of the three northeastern provinces were fully supervised by the central government.

This incident had had an extremely heavy impact on the Northwest Ma family at that time. They couldn't help but speculate whether the central government would be to deal with themselves next? This may not be small. This can be seen from the military rectification of the Second Northern Army. Once the Sino-Japanese War ended, the head of state Wu Shaoting could just order the adjustment of the military affairs of the Second Northern Army again, and he could deal with the Northwest Ma family as usual just like the Fengtian warlords.

This rectification incident in Beijing made the Northwest Ma family even more worried. Wu Shaoting could even take action on his own confidant Ni Yingdian, and through a small problem of the style of bureaucratic children, the whole of Beijing and Tianjin was in turmoil. The traces of intentional suppression were too obvious.

For the Ma family in the northwest, they not only opposed the central government to protect their personal interests, but because there are many foreign forces behind them secretly support them. It is precisely because of this confidence that the Ma family army dared to stand up and challenge the central government.

Because of the national public opinion and the overall situation in the north, and the central government at least made a promise, they felt wronged and temporarily bowed to the central government. However, after this period of time, the central government's suppression of local forces has begun to shake their aggrieved and full mentality.

At this time, lobbyists from Tsarist Russia, Britain and even Japan frequently wrote "blank checks" in their ears.

Foreign forces have been inciting each other twice. As early as the Qingyuan Conference, the British had successfully convinced the Ma family in Qinghai and the Ma family in Ningxia, as well as some warlords in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia that once the Allies decide to sanction China by force, these local warlords will jump to oppose the Nanjing central government.

It’s a pity that the Qingyuan Conference was too big and was suppressed by Wu Shaoting before the Allies could react.
