Still in the cigar membership club-like room, Lu Ming elaborated on the Montenegro Special Administrative Region’s proposition. The main point was that all parties should shelve disputes over sensitive issues and adopt a declaration to restore peace throughout Anshan as soon as possible. Regarding controversial issues, all parties The parties can express themselves after the declaration is released.
At the same time, Lu Ming also informed several parties that the Montenegrin peacekeeping forces would help Anshan Qidao establish the Northern Montenegro Autonomous Republic.
In fact, in this world, there is no essential difference between the word meaning and the political meaning of autonomous territories, autonomous prefectures, autonomous provinces and autonomous republics.
However, an autonomous republic definitely has a stronger sense of independence than the first three.
The four “provinces” in the Northern Territory have a similar meaning to the “kingdom”. In the Imperial Federation, the four provinces, the Kingdom of Grifenni and the Kingdom of Japan are all equal in a political sense. Member of the Imperial Federation.
In fact, the combined population of the seven Anshan roads controlled by Montenegro is larger than that of Zhenjiang Province, with a population of nearly 20 million, and the territory is also wider than Zhenjiang Province.
The establishment of an autonomous republic was because it was in the Northern Territory. It was originally an area under the jurisdiction of the four provinces of the Northern Territory and did not belong to the Kingdom of Grifenni. However, to establish a “province” would definitely cause an uproar, so the Kingdom, A slightly lower-level administrative body such as a province.
As for the Northern Montenegro Autonomous Republic, Lu Ming plans to abolish the administrative units at the provincial level like the Montenegro Special Zone, and cities and counties are not subordinate to each other. Counties mainly develop rural areas, and cities develop cities and suburbs. The two are parallel institutions and belong to the same country. Directly governed by the Republic (Province).
At the county level, the power is very small, and the main thing is the autonomy of each town.
It may be difficult to create megacities in this way, but it will be more fair to most people, especially rural people, and agriculture will not be used to build industry and megacities.
Anyway, Anshan is already in ruins and has just experienced a military disaster, so there are no pains or pains, so we might as well start over.
However, in fact, many ideas are deeply rooted. It is also a war period, and the Anshan people’s worship of authority is not necessarily a bad thing. For the Anshan people, the current changes are just a seed sown, and they will slowly take their own course. Will take root and sprout.
In order to attract investment in the Northern Montenegro Autonomous Republic, peace needs to be restored here as soon as possible in order to persuade the funds from the Eastern Alliance to flow in.
The experience of investors in Wanzhou and Nanping should make them confident in the area under Montenegro’s control.
……
In the afternoon, while Lu Ming was chatting in Wang Ding’s room, several groups of guests came, all coming to visit Commissioner Zhang.
The first is Qi Zongxun.
Afterwards, Sun Chonggu also came, and with him were two young men, one was Sun Chonggu’s cousin, named Sun Chongxing, and the other was Ren Zhonglin’s fourth grandson, named Ren Xingfei.
Ren Zhonglin has two sons, both of whom are quite old. The one he is currently cultivating is his eldest grandson, Ren Xingwen. He is said to be very resolute and decisive. He serves in the army and is now the first to enter the Longbei Army in Anshan. Commander of the Third Army.
The army in Longbei is similar to the division in Heishan, with about 15,000 men.
As for Ren Xingfei in front of him, he and his cousin are like two extremes. As his name suggests, he is as high-flying as he is.
The third group of guests who came to visit Lu Ming were members of the Ma family, one of the four major families in Longbei: “Sun, Ma, Zhao, and Chen”. They sent a greeting card and talked about the head of the family, Ma Boshang, and what he wanted to do tomorrow. A banquet was held for Commissioner Zhang.
The Sun family was obviously at odds with the Ma family. Sun Chonggu ridiculed the visitor a few times, but he was neither humble nor overbearing, and he responded appropriately.
Lu Ming accepted the invitation and agreed to attend the appointment tomorrow.
“What’s the point of being with a group of old people!” Sun Chonggu rolled his eyes. He and Lu Ming were very familiar with each other.
After the Anshan War broke out, he was transferred back to the provincial capital from Shengjing and joined the Ministry of National Defense as Assistant Minister.
Lu Ming looked at him helplessly. This guy’s life was getting better and better. When he returned to the provincial capital, why did he feel that his habits were getting worse?
Sun Chonggu said mysteriously again: “Brother, this time Xiaoxing has arranged for us to dance in the ballroom on the first floor? The dance partners are all good, but they are not dancers.”
Next to him was Sun Chongxing, a pretty boy in his early twenties, with the image of a dandy young master, wearing a vest, shirt and suspenders with yellow plaid trousers, and a pocket watch hanging from his shirt pocket. In front of Sun Chonggu and Lu Ming, he smiled and nodded, his face full of flattery.
Obviously, Sun Chonggu’s cousin is just a follower here. Of course, if he goes out, he will probably be the master who stomps his feet and trembles in the provincial city.
Lu Ming said helplessly: “I really can’t get away. Let’s go like this. You guys go first and I’ll be there in a moment.” Then he mouthed in the direction of Zongxun, “Take care of Marshal Zongxun for me.”
Sun Chonggu knew somewhat about Commissioner Zhang’s character and said with a smile: “Okay, brother, you must come, we are waiting for you!”
There was a hint of dissatisfaction on Ren Xingfei’s face. After all, the entire Longbei belonged to his Ren family, and no matter how big an official this official was, he was still working for someone else, wasn’t he? The spectrum is a bit too big.
Sun Chonggu had already gone to chat with Qi Zongxun. Although Qi Zongxun was helpless, he was pulled away by the three of them while laughing.
Ren Xingfei had a different attitude towards Qi Zongxun. Naturally, he felt that they were of the same class, and they were all from the royal family of the Northern Territory.
……
Lu Ming sat back and talked to Wang Ding about some of his side’s principled issues when it came to signing a peace agreement.
While he was talking, the phone rang. After Wang Ding went to answer the phone, he covered the phone and said with a smile: “Commissioner, your phone sounds like a young lady.” As he spoke, he brought the phone over.
Lu Ming took the phone and said, “I am Zhang Aming.”
“Master, it’s me, Xue Zihan…” Her voice was very clear and sweet.
Lu Ming didn’t expect it, and smiled: “Zihan? Didn’t you make a shopping appointment with your best friend today? Do you have something to do with me?”
“Well…” Xue Zihan hesitated for a moment and said, “I’m at the coffee shop opposite the Richard Hotel. I have something to do, but I can’t tell you on the phone. Do you have time?”
Lu Ming smiled: “We’re almost done talking. I’m going to find you. What’s the name of your coffee shop?”
……
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Ming came to the “Phoebe Coffee” across the street. In the neighborhood around Richard’s Hotel, the commercial street was also filled with the Western colors of the 1920s and 1930s. In fact, it just failed to keep up with the development of the times and remained stuck. In the past, but in Lu Ming’s opinion, unlike the modernization of Donghai, this atmosphere is very retro and has a unique style.
Far away, Lu Ming saw Xue Zihan and her companions standing at the door of the coffee shop, looking eagerly, looking a little anxious.
Seeing Lu Ming appear, Xue Zihan showed a happy look on her face. She looked like a student in a blue jacket, black skirt, white socks, lace-up black shoes, but her appearance was beautiful and radiant. With the pure student clothes that had been quiet for a long time, she looked even more… Beautiful and charming.
Beside Xue Zihan was a fat girl, looking at Lu Ming curiously.
The three of them entered the coffee shop. Xue Zihan introduced her good friend Li Wanjun. Lu Ming was speechless when he heard the name.
Li Wanjun smiled sweetly and said: “Mr. Zhang, what is your relationship with Zihan? Ask Zihan, but she won’t tell. But she seems to call you master? This, Zihan used to hate the old-style family the most. Well, it’s very decadent, isn’t it?” There was also a sharp edge in the laughter.
Xue Zihan tugged at her clothes from underneath and said, “Let’s talk business with the master.”
Li Wanjun curled her lips: “What can happen to them? I say you are just overthinking. I think Mr. Zhang is young…”
Xue Zihan frowned, a little angry, “You don’t understand!” She said to Lu Ming: “Master, do you know, is the ballroom of Richard Hotel open today?”
Dance hall? Lu Ming was startled, thinking of Sun Chonggu and the others, and nodded: “The facilities inside are still open, but they are not open to the public. In the past, even non-hotel residents could enter by buying tickets? Now the entire hotel is closed to outsiders. , the facilities are only open to guests, but they are all open!”
Li Wanjun said from the side: “I’m telling you, I can’t be a liar! Li Changhong, don’t think I don’t like him, but he has a wide range of friends in society and many connections. Look, Richard Hotel doesn’t If it’s open to the public, he can still bring people in, right?”
Xue Zihan was too lazy to pay attention to her and said to Lu Ming: “The president of our school’s student union, named Li Changhong, said that there was a sorority in the ballroom of the Richard Hotel today, and the other parties were also unmarried young talents. A good friend of mine named Zhou Xiaoli went there. I just heard that Li Changhong seemed to have invited very beautiful girls from our school. I felt something was wrong.”
Li Wanjun laughed from the side and said: “Aren’t you the most beautiful school beauty? It’s a pity that you have an owner. Moreover, Li Changhong doesn’t know how to contact you. However, you would never agree before. You hate admiration the most. Aren’t those vain female classmates? You often say that if you want to fall in love freely, even if you find a rickshaw puller, as long as you love him and he loves you, you will have the happiest life.” He glanced at Lu Ming as he spoke.
Obviously, she had a vague feeling that the relationship between her friend and this man was not a normal relationship. As a like-minded person who once vowed to be a new woman and worked passionately for women’s rights, she felt very sad today. She felt that her friend had betrayed her vow and betrayed her. He lost his ideal and betrayed her.
As she spoke, she shook her head disdainfully: “It’s their own business if they want to know young talents. Zihan, let’s not be a villain in vain!”
Xue Zihan was angry, “If you keep doing this, I won’t look for you anymore!”
Seeing that she was really angry, Li Wanjun was shocked and fell silent.
Lu Ming had already stood up, “You two, come with me.” Obviously, Xue Zihan’s experience made her know how dark this society actually is, and how terrible it is if the upper class is just like a dog. Li Wanjun, on the other hand, has no such experience and has no contact with the real upper class society. The college student group is generally very respected in the public. Even the upper class seems to attach great importance to the rights of this group. Therefore, of course she does not understand what Xue Zihan is thinking.
……
After leaving the coffee shop, Lu Ming was quickly surrounded by several young men in peaked hats.
Lu Ming led Xue Zihan and Li Wanjun into the resplendent lobby of the Richard Hotel, and several guards outside the glass revolving door saluted together.
Li Wanjun looked at this scene in shock, and looked at Xue Zihan with even more complicated eyes.
Lu Ming and his party turned left again and walked in along the softly lit corridor. In front of them was a magnificent gate with the words “Civilized Dance” engraved in gold.
There were several plainclothes men standing in front of the door. They wanted to stop them, but they were suppressed by several guys in peaked hats like chickens, and pushed to the wall.
A young man in a peaked hat pushed open the magnificent golden door, and Lu Ming walked in first.
The lights were on inside, and there was no dance music. It seemed something had happened. A group of people were gathering at a teahouse, and a woman was crying.
Sun Chongxing was at the outermost corner with sharp eyes. When he saw Lu Ming and his entourage coming in, he immediately came up to greet him and shouted: “Third brother, Commissioner Zhang is here!”
Sun Chongxing ran to Lu Ming’s side and his eyes lit up when he saw Xue Zihan standing next to Lu Ming, but he did not dare to look more and said with a smile: “You are here!”
Sun Chonggu also strode over and said with a smile: “Brother, you are here!”
Lu Ming pointed outside, “There’s a little misunderstanding. The little guys outside don’t recognize me.”
Sun Chonggu’s eyes widened and he looked at Sun Chongxing.
Sun Chongxing had already reached out and slapped himself in the face, “It’s up to me! I should have waited outside!”
Actually, it was Sun Chonggu who told him that Commissioner Zhang would not come.
At this time, Sun Chonggu pointed at him and laughed and scolded: “If you don’t know how to do things, your little boys deserve to suffer a little!”
“Yes, yes,…” Sun Chongxing smiled apologetically, and then said to a man next to him: “Go tell them, it was a small misunderstanding!”
Lu Ming looked towards the crowd and asked, “What’s going on?”
The man’s voice sounded, “Damn it, do you agree or not? I’ve been waiting for more than half a minute! I’m going to cry!” He said again: “No wait, take me upstairs!” It was Ren Xingfei’s sound.
The woman’s sobbing voice suddenly turned into a scream. It seemed that someone was trying to force her away.
Lu Ming frowned: “What’s going on?”
Sun Chonggu curled his lips and said, “Damn it, all your good elegance has been ruined by this kid. Originally, Xiaoxing found a few dance partners, all of whom were beauties from the First University. They are beautiful and talented. , but this young master Fei doesn’t know anything about temperament, so he fell in love with one of them when they met, and wanted to get her to rent a room! I told her to ask her companions to persuade her, and when she calms down, I think she will agree, otherwise it will be too much. Damn it, can’t you just dance and talk first? What an idiot!”
Over there, the girl’s screams turned into howls, but she saw two strong men dragging a girl towards this side, and the other girls were trembling with fear.
Ren Xingfei was walking aside cursing, and another young man smiled and said something beside him. Suddenly he was slapped by Ren Xingfei and staggered. Ren Xingfei went up and kicked him again, “Who the **** do you think you are? Talk to me? I’ll kill you!”
“Master, that’s Xiaoli, the one who was beaten was Li Changhong…” Xue Zihan pointed at the girl being dragged away and said anxiously.
Lu Ming said to Sun Chonggu: “He who asked Ren Xingfei to release him is my concubine’s friend!”
Sun Chonggu was stunned, nodded quickly, then walked over and ordered the two men to let go.
Lu Ming looked around and saw Qi Zongxun. He obviously left after seeing the mess here. As the successor trained by Qi Huaide, he couldn’t continue to mess around with a group of dandies.
Over there, Ren Xingfei listened to Sun Chonggu’s words, stopped chasing Li Changhong, rubbed his wrists, and walked over slowly.
When he got closer and saw Xue Zihan beside Lu Ming, Ren Xingfei’s eyes lit up and he smiled: “Commissioner Zhang, it turns out you have something better? Auntie, right? When can I kiss Fangze…”
With a crisp “pop” sound, Ren Xingfei had been slapped hard by Lu Ming. His eyes were so slapped that he took a few steps back and sat down on the ground.
Sun Chonggu already knew what was going to happen after listening to Ren Xingfei’s words. Just as he was about to stop him, Ren Xingfei was slapped down.
Although it is not unacceptable to send concubines to each other in the Northern Territory, it also depends on the concubine’s background. Usually concubines who are former prostitutes are not popular with their masters, but they are just a taste of something new, and that is the real product.
But around Commissioner Zhang, Sun Chonggu knew that there had always been strange women from all over the country, from all over the world, they were either ladies or famous ladies, and any one of them was considered a top treasure in the eyes of men, and all of them had great backgrounds. It was all because of the class reversal during the war. They were convicted for various reasons and were taken into custody by Commissioner Zhang.
Commissioner Zhang has no other problems, and he is a very scary prince-like figure. However, he likes women and drags them wherever he goes. He is also very possessive. They used to suppress bandits in Wanzhou and lived together. You knew it when you wiped out a compound.
In Commissioner Zhang’s opinion, Ren Xingfei’s words were just like cuckolding him.
Which man can endure this?
Sun Chonggu smiled bitterly in his heart, hurriedly helped Ren Xingfei, and shouted: “Don’t do anything, everyone calm down!”
But several of Ren Xingfei’s followers rushed up and confronted the young man in the peaked hat next to Commissioner Zhang.
Ren Xingfei seemed to be completely knocked out, and one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
Seeing the redness and swelling on his face, Sun Chonggu was horrified. He had such a strong hand and slapped Ren Xingfei almost into a pig’s head.
Lu Ming already frowned and said: “Chonggu, tell him to get lost. I will discuss this matter with his father tomorrow!”
Sun Chonggu felt a sudden shock in his heart. Speaking of which, he had been promoted all the way, and many of his achievements came from the support of Brother Zhang. Including the suppression of bandits in Wanzhou, the smooth sailing in Shengjing, and the early contacts that facilitated the coalition forces, Longbei also had its own contribution, but in fact, it was all thanks to Brother Zhang.
As for Master Fei, I used to hang out with him a lot, but now that I have returned to the provincial capital, I can’t get rid of him.
If you want to say that you will be the leader of Sun Faction in the future, what is he?
Perhaps when his eldest brother Ren Xingwen came to power, he still acted like this and affected the reputation of the Ren family. Since the elders were all gone, his eldest brother used him as a sacrifice every second. The relationship was already very bad.
As for now, if Xiaofei’s father hears that he has caused trouble again and offended the most popular person in front of the Prince’s Palace of Black Mountain Castle, is he afraid that his legs will be broken?
Sun Chonggu was thinking wildly, and then gestured to Ren Xingfei’s followers, “Quick, you guys, take him away! Don’t cause big trouble! Damn it, if you don’t behave honestly, I will remove your legs. , do you know who I am, Brother Zhang? Get out of here!”
