November 25, 1908, morning.
"ah!
Surprisingly, some plantation owners really dare to resist, refuse to cooperate with the Golden Shield Bureau's investigation, and resist agricultural reforms. "
Tangning was furious when she saw the situation in Balia State sent by Fisher.
“These were no ordinary planters, they were rebels.
Punch!
Must hit hard! "
A small plantation owner who dares to resist the kingdom's just investigation must have something evil in his heart. How can this situation be tolerated?
The Golden Shield Bureau is the three core agencies of the Kingdom's important security bureau, which assumes internal responsibilities.
The Security Bureau is divided into the internal golden shield, the external golden spear, and the golden sword responsible for taxation. It is subordinate to the Ministry of Supervision and directly subordinate to the king. This will not change even after the constitutional government.
The Security Bureau represents the will of the kingdom and refuses to accept or cooperate with the state's investigation. Some people even dare to beat the investigators. This is a challenge to the authority of the state.
How arrogant!
What is this behavior?
How to identify attributes?
How to punish?
Traitor!
Absolute traitor!
In this case, a heavy blow must be struck to nip rebellion in the cradle.
Without exerting power, it is impossible to rule the world!
Only by cutting through the mess quickly can the country be brought back on track. Even if there are some injustices, partial sacrifices for the sake of the country are completely acceptable.
Tangning picked up the phone on her desk, dialed the number, and asked the telephone contact person to transfer Fisher.
“Baron Fisher, don’t be soft anymore.
Charlie, Matthew, Embiid from Bahia, and Franco from Sergipe, these plantation owners, gave me a heavy blow.
Give all these people to me. I will directly capture them in the procession, try them, and shoot them. All family members will be sent to the labor reform bureau, and all their assets will be confiscated. "
In times of emergency, Tang Ning was not shy about resorting to extreme measures.
Isn't it the result of these residues that Brazil has become like this?
I thought that after Neymar was dealt with, these people would be obedient, understanding, accepting, and cooperative.
It turned out that there were indeed people who refused to drink and drank as fines, resisted the field review statistics, played tricks on the hired workers, and some even deliberately beat up the Golden Shield investigators.
“Your Majesty, we don’t have many manpower.
There are many people who do not cooperate with the investigation. These few people react very violently. They are quite armed. The Golden Shield Bureau is very short of manpower and it is difficult to improve its efficiency. "
Faced with His Majesty the King's request for a heavy blow, Fisher said that it is difficult to do many things in the current predicament.
“Some local police departments are not cooperating with the security bureau and the farmers’ association’s investigation operations.
Your Majesty, I would like to request that the action be slowed down and that the action be taken step by step. The current manpower is too short and it is easy for a chaos to break out. It will be unable to suppress it and cause heavy losses to the country. "
"No, it must be resolved with high pressure. Don't give them too much time."
Of course Tangning knew there would be difficulties, but how could such a thing be delayed? Obviously this cannot be delayed, otherwise it will be more difficult to do next.
We must deal with these planters quickly!
“The police department is not cooperative, is it?
It seems that I am right to clean up them. I will sort out the dark residue from now on.
Now, since the police are unreliable, then mobilize the army and bring me machine guns, mortars, and mountain cannons.
If there is any armed resistance, I will treat it as treason and kill them without mercy. In the future, when investigating the situation of the fields and hired workers, you can bring machine guns and mortars. If there is any obstruction, you can suppress it according to the situation.
The Kingdom will issue an announcement to let certain people know what they are doing, which is rebellion.
Anyone who aids the rebellious planters is committing treason and does not need to be excused. They are all equally guilty and cannot be forgiven. "
Tangning, this time, land reform was not just for coffee plantation owners, but for everyone.
Large planters, small planters, and farmers were all investigated one by one, and files and household registrations were established.
Tang Ning wanted to use the assassination operation to create a thunderstorm and break through thousands of people.
Brazil's problem is fundamentally a land issue, and there must be no compromise. The sooner it is resolved, the better. If this kind of thing is delayed, it will become increasingly difficult to handle in the future.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Baron."
Tangning hung up the phone, took out the signal pen, walked to the big Brazilian political map hanging on the wall, muttered in her mouth, and started to make gestures with her hands.
“Espirito Santo, this small state is close to Rio de Janeiro, and the plantation owners are wise enough not to separate it under the emperor’s feet.
Bahia is too big, the planters are concentrated together, and their power is huge, so it must be broken up. "
Tangning moved her pen to the large state of Bahia in the north of Espírito Santo and frowned.
"The small states northeast of Bahia are the first land that Portugal developed in Brazil. There are also many medium-sized planters, and they are further away from the center. You must also pay attention."
Tangning looked at Bahia and the seven or eight small states next to it, such as Sergipe, Alagoas, and Pernambuco, and felt troubled.
These small northeastern states were Portugal’s earliest plantation colonial bases and were famous throughout the world for their sugar industry.
Although it has lagged behind the coffee trade during the Republic and was squeezed by other sugar industry bases, gradually declining and becoming poor, it is undeniable that the influence of plantations is still very deep and needs to be addressed.
"Bahia and a bunch of small states in the northeast are too far away from the capital, so a piece of land must be set aside for direct royal jurisdiction, and the northeastern center of the kingdom should be established here to control the states.
The state of Pernambuco with Recife is very suitable, and the royal family is also powerful here, so it is him. "
After being lost in thought and trouble for a while, Tangning pointed his pen at Pernambuco, the central state in northeastern Brazil, and then he looked at Bahia.
“Pernambuco is under direct jurisdiction, but the territory is too small.
The state of Bahia is so large that the area just north of the São Francisco River was allocated to the state of Pernambuco, killing two birds with one stone.
At the same time, this will also allow the state of Goiás, which is under royal jurisdiction and wants to develop inland, to border it, making it easier to communicate with the coast. "
After cutting off a piece of Bahia land, Downing found that the remaining area was still too big and had to be cut again.
“The south of the Requitinonia River, to the state of Espírito Santo, was drawn out to form a new state, with Porto Seguro as its capital.
From the north of the Zekitinionia River to the south of the Odikontas River in the plateau area, a new state was established, with its capital Ilheus.
The rest, bounded by the plateau area and the Paraguazu River, is divided into two new states, with the capital of Salvador in the north and Itaparrica in the south. "
Tangning's operation directly cut Bahia, one of the top five states in Brazil, from south to north, into four regions: Seguru, Illeus, Itaparica, and Salvador. A piece of land was annexed to the state of Pernambuco.
“In the future, the northeastern region will be centered on Brambuco, with El Salvador and Ceará as sub-centers.
Also, the state of Maranhão is divided into the northeast and belongs to the northern Amazon region..."
"Guess who I am?"
Just as Tangning was carefully drawing on the map and bending down to cut out Mato Grosso do Sul from the huge inland Mato Grosso state, his eyes were suddenly blindfolded.
Tangning was stunned for a moment when she smelled the familiar scent of jasmine and the slightly changed but playful voice in the growing stage.
"Helen?"
Tangning said hesitantly and questioningly.
Tangning knew that she had guessed correctly when she felt that the person behind her was stunned for a moment.
"Helen, aren't you in Alagave? Why did you end up in Brazil!?"
Tangning easily opened the delicate hands that covered her eyes, and asked her sister incredulously.
