Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 458: Trying to cover up the obvious
Today is the day when the rail track between Beijing and Tongzhou is completed, and it is also the day when the Gyeonggi section of the freight rail is opened.

Wang Qi and members of the major parliaments in Beijing were present to participate in the celebration.

During this time, Sun Chengzong went south to Liangjiang to deal with the vote-buying incident in the Wuhan Parliament, so he did not appear.

"Although the distance of this railway track is still relatively short, it is an extremely important beginning. As long as the Beijing-Tongren Railway can operate smoothly, the people and the parliament will see the huge potential hidden in it," Wang Qi said at the parliamentary and academic seminar meeting. The conversation raised the importance of Beijing-Tongren Railway to the level of a strategic goal of the parliament.

After all, the parliamentary five-year plan outline also clearly lists railway development as the focus of parliamentary work.

Not long after, there was a break in the meeting, and Wang Qi took a group of senior members out of the meeting and went to the side hall to rest.

"Sir, this is a secret letter sent back by Qiu Tong from Japan." The attendant came forward and handed Wang Qi a well-sealed secret letter. After Wang Qi took it, he checked the secret key to make sure it was correct before opening the letter. .

"You all should take a look," Wang Qi handed the letter to Ye Xianggao, who was sitting aside.

"Tokugawa Hidetada can realize the huge driving role of Japan's domestic economy as a trading place and agree to us such harsh conditions." Ye Xianggao read the letter and said with some disbelief: "This is an effortless move to Japan's Nagasaki Prefecture. It has been incorporated into my territory of China’s governance.”

"Promoting Japan's domestic economic and trade development is not his main purpose, nor is it what the Tokugawa family wants," Wang Qi said with a smile: "The key to the matter is that trade with China can maintain their The Tokugawa family's rule by force! As long as the Chinese Council regards the Tokugawa family as an agent of Japanese trade, his dominance will be more stable." Wang Qi took the cigarette from the attendant and took a deep breath. Then he continued: "As for the lower class people in Japan, the samurai and those daimyo who want to oppose the Tokugawa shogunate at every turn, Tokugawa Hidetada doesn't care about life or death!"

After listening to Wang Qi's words, everyone in the hall fell into deep thought.

Wang Qi looks at problems differently from the appearance of things. He can always directly see through the essence and then strike a fatal blow.

This is also an important reason why he can hold the chief position in the parliament for a long time.

"Okay," Wang Qi put out the last cigarette butt in the ceramic ashtray, stretched out his hand to disperse the smoke in front of his eyes, and concluded: "Inform Qiu Tong and Zheng Yiguan that we can sign an agreement with the Tokugawa Shogunate. The current conditions promote the development of trade between the two countries, and starting from next month, that is, in mid-May, the first official trade between the two countries can begin!”

As Wang Qi issued the decree, the three clerks on the side immediately wrote down the records - three copies were finally verified. After passing, one copy was backed up by the Parliamentary Archives Office, another one was announced to the public, and the other one was sent back to Qiu Tong.

"In addition, I suggest," Wang Qi stretched out his hand and added another cigarette: "As for North Korea, since Japan has withdrawn its troops, our Liaodong Army can dispatch a 10,000-strong force to Seoul to maintain peace on the Korean Peninsula. As well as deterrence, Busan can serve as an important intermediate point and transshipment point for the maritime trade channel between China and Japan! Cargo ships from Dengzhou, Qingdao and even Fujian can rest in Busan and then go to Japan! "

Every time the temporary meeting room of the Parliament was held for more than a quarter of an hour, the entire meeting room immediately filled with smoke.

Since the invention of cigarettes, almost every major congressman has become a seasoned smoker who never leaves his hand.

"Should the specifications of the corps of ten thousand people be improved? After all, they are stationed abroad," Wang Huazhen asked.

"I propose that the corps with a size of 10,000 people be directly under the rule of the Grand Council and under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Conference Office of the Parliamentary Committee. The rank of the corps commander is the governor-general level. The first governor-general in North Korea should be Xiong Tingbi," Wang Qi said lightly. He blew out a puff of smoke, but the white smoke had not dissipated, and then he took a sharp breath, sucking it all back to the tip of his nose, and then slowly puffed out: "As for the salary of the 10,000-person legion, it is all provided by North Korea! All of it is provided by North Korea! General officers will be replaced in batches every three years!”

After saying this, Wang Qi looked at everyone: "What do you think?"

"I agree!" Lu Yu raised her hand in agreement.

"I agree!" Wang Huazhen nodded.

"Okay!" Although Ye Xianggao feels that this is a bit harsh on North Korea, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, North Korea has not been very peaceful in recent years, and hammering is always necessary. "I have no objection," Xu Guangqi also nodded.

"Mr. Kaiyang went to Liangjiang to handle the parliamentary bribery case, but he didn't reply. This resolution passed with five votes, so let's issue a document to implement it," Wang Qi turned to look at the secretary-general who was taking notes.

"understand!"

Thump thump thump.
The temporary meeting here had just ended when the guard officer hurried over: "Sir, something happened."

"What's the matter?" Wang Qi asked with a raised eyebrow.

Everyone on the side looked at the captain of the guard in confusion.

"The news just came that Congressman Sun Da was assassinated in Wuhan and is currently being treated in the hospital," the guard replied in a low voice.

Reaching out to crush the cigarette butt into the ceramic ashtray, Wang Qi's expression suddenly turned cold, and even his tone was murderous: "Who did it?"

"According to the secret guard's information, it is related to the former Gui King Zhu Changying," the head guard lowered his head and replied.

"Ask Li Qingsong to come see me!" Wang Qi first revealed a hint of doubt in his eyes when he heard this, and then said: "Also, please don't spread this matter outside!"

"My subordinate understands!"

After the guards left, everyone in the palace spoke.

"If I remember correctly, then Zhu Changying is only sixteen years old, right?" Ye Xianggao said with doubt in his tone: "How can a sixteen-year-old former vassal king, who has neither power nor ambition, plan to assassinate a majestic king?" Member?"

"And this is at a critical time when Mr. Kaiyang is thoroughly investigating the Wuhan parliamentary election bribery case," Wang Huazhen also said: "The water here looks very deep!"

Xu Guangqi, on the other hand, just served tea and drank water without expressing any opinions - the president of the society had always only paid attention to matters related to the development of the society, and had little interest in other matters and rarely spoke.

Lu Yu looked at Wang Qi, waiting for Wang Qi's decision.

"Whether it is Zhu Changying or not, and no matter what is hidden behind the Wuhan election bribery case!" Wang Qi's cold eyes swept across the crowd: "Assassinating a congressman, this matter must not be done well!"

From Wang Qi's words, everyone knew that the consul was going to go on a killing spree.

"Uncle," Wang Qi looked at Wang Huazhen: "This time, I need you to go to Wuhan!"

"Please rest assured, Lord Governor!" Wang Huazhen stood up and bowed: "If I don't uproot those moths when I go to Wuhan this time, I will be crucified in Wuhan!"
