Chapter 118: Capital Beilongcheng Northeastern King Jiang Yanlin
The next morning, Su Zhengyang got on his own command vehicle and started heading towards Beilong City.
This time, Su Zhengyang rushed to Beilong City to attend the ceremony of formally appointing members of Congress. It was of great significance, and his safety naturally became the top priority.
On the side of the Northwest Intelligence Bureau, Yan Shuangying personally led fifty carefully selected elite soldiers for close protection. The Dragon God Special Operations Team, led by Li Yunlong, was fully armed and followed the whole way. In addition, the two battalions of elite troops led by the commander of the Guard Division, Sun Yuanshan, ensured Su Zhengyang's safety along the way.
The Northern Xinjiang government also showed absolute sincerity and attitude. This time, Su Zhengyang will take a train from Sishui City in Yongzhou and rush to Beilong City via the Yonglong Railway Line. The Northern Xinjiang government has dispatched an entire division of troops along the way to conduct strict inspections and garrisons along the railway to ensure Su Zhengyang's safety.
Knowing that Han Xi had a conflict with Su Zhengyang, President Yang Jiakai personally and sternly warned Han Xiwang that if Su Zhengyang encountered any problems in Yongzhou, it would be blamed on Han Xi and he would be severely punished.
Three days later, Su Zhengyang boarded a special train in Sishui City and headed towards Beilong City in the cold wind of deep winter.
There is currently no railway line that can directly reach Linzhou, which makes Su Zhengyang somewhat dissatisfied. At the same time, he is determined to build a railway network across Linzhou to make exchanges and trade between the north and south of Linzhou and with other provinces more frequent, thus promoting the economic development of Linzhou.
Six days later, the train traveled thousands of miles and successfully stopped at Beilongcheng South Station. The platform was under full martial law at this time. President Yang Jiakai, Prime Minister Duan Jinshu, and the chief member of the Congress, Northeast King Jiang Yanlin, were all waiting at the platform to welcome the incoming Su Zhengyang, giving enough face to this rising star.
Soon, Su Zhengyang got off the train surrounded by his personal guards. He immediately saw Duan Jinshu and Yang Jiakai on the platform, as well as the short, bearded, middle-aged man next to them who looked like a bandit.
Although Su Zhengyang had never met the so-called President Yang Jiakai, he had seen his photo. Su Zhengyang walked up to the three people and extended his right hand.
"President Yang, Prime Minister Duan, hello! New member of Congress, Su Zhengyang has come to Beilong City to report!"
Yang Jiakai shook hands with Su Zhengyang enthusiastically and said with a smile: "He is indeed a handsome man. Heroes emerge young."
"Let's go. The vehicle is ready outside. We will take you to the Northern Frontier Inn first."
The middle-aged man next to him suddenly patted Su Zhengyang on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, your expression is exactly like your father, the stubborn old man. Over the past six months, I have heard so much about your Northwest Revolutionary Army that my ears are calloused. Good job, you didn't disappoint your father."
Duan Jinshu hurriedly introduced, "Zhengyang, this is the chief member of our Northern Frontier government's parliament, the Northeast King Jiang Yanlin. He is actually a rough guy. Your father and he are almost sworn brothers, and they have always been friends. This time, your nomination as a member of parliament was also helped by this old guy, so that this proposal was passed smoothly."
Su Zhengyang hurriedly and politely shook hands with Jiang Yanlin, and said in a very humble manner: "So you are the world-famous King of the Northeast, Marshal Jiang. I have heard my father often mention you since I was a child, saying that you are a real man of character. After meeting you today, Marshal Jiang is indeed a hero who does not care about trivial matters."
Jiang Yanlin waved his hand and said, "Don't use those pedantic scholar's words with me. Let's go. When we get to the Northern Frontier Inn, we can have a good drink."
Jiang Yanlin started out as a bandit and worked his way up to become the current King of Northeast China and the chief congressman of the Northern Frontier government. He is by no means an ordinary person.
In terms of life trajectory, Jiang Yanlin has some similarities with Marshal Zhang of the Republic of China in Su Zhengyang's previous life.
Today's Northeastern warlords occupy half of the territory of the six northeastern provinces. They have a large number of soldiers and generals under their command, and control three large arsenals and a large number of supporting light and heavy industrial facilities. They are unrivaled in the entire northern border and have an army of 300,000. They are truly big shots who can make the northern border tremble with just a stomp of their feet.
When Jiang Yanlin was young and faced the most difficult times, he was supported by Su Zhengyang's father Su Yuting. Jiang Yanlin has remembered this favor for decades. This time, Su Zhengyang became a member of parliament because he had been exercising his rights as the chief member of parliament. In addition, the unwavering attitude of the president and the prime minister finally made this happen.
Outside the South Station, a large number of troops had already put the entire street under martial law. Su Zhengyang, Duan Jinshu and Yang Jiakai got into a car and after traveling through Beilong City for half an hour, they finally arrived at their destination, the Beijiang Posthouse, which was located in the center of Beilong City, outside the Forbidden City of the Shuiqing Empire. It was specially built by the Beijiang Government to receive guests.
The interior of the post house was magnificent and luxurious, with huge crystal chandeliers, white marble floors and precious wool carpets.
Walking through the lobby into the interior of the post house, you will find a different world here, covering an area of more than fifty acres. In addition to the six main buildings of the post house, which are all luxury suites, there are more than thirty pavilions and waterside pavilions of various sizes, full of Chinese elements and ancient style of the house.
Su Zhengyang and his personal guards were arranged in the huge Tianzi No. 1 Villa. After everything was settled, Su Zhengyang immediately took Yan Shuangying and Sun Yuanshan to the banquet hall for the banquet.
Only Su Zhengyang, Duan Jinshu, Jiang Yanlin and Yang Jiakai were sitting at the huge dining table. The formal welcoming dinner would be held at 8 o'clock in the evening in the giant banquet hall of the Central Government Building. Most of the senior officials of the Northern Xinjiang government would be present to see the new congressman.
"Zhengyang, don't be restrained. Let's not drink today. There will be a welcoming banquet in the evening. Hurry up and eat. Everyone present is an old acquaintance of your father. Don't be polite with us."
The three of them were extremely kind to Su Zhengyang, and Su Zhengyang naturally appeared to be extremely humble and polite, and his words were flawless.
After the dishes were served, President Yang Jiakai looked at Su Zhengyang and said slowly, "The real test will be the welcoming dinner held by the government tonight. All the old guys in our Northern Xinjiang government will be present. Our firm recommendation of you to become a member of Congress has made many people dissatisfied. They will inevitably make things difficult for you tonight. You can neither show off too much and offend them, nor show weakness and bullying. You need to grasp the scale here by yourself."
Su Zhengyang nodded calmly. Before coming here, he had already expected this kind of thing to happen, so he was not surprised.
Jiang Yanlin slapped the table and said, "Fuck you, these old guys, one by one, say that you, Su Zhengyang, don't have enough qualifications, and they are trying to stop you from becoming a member of Congress. They don't even think about the fact that you are the only offspring of Brother Su. Brother Su passed away, and all his qualifications and honors fell on your head. What's wrong with that? I think they are just looking for trouble. Zhengyang, you little bastard, you have to behave yourself and don't lose face for your father! If anyone dares to take advantage of your age, I, Jiang Dapao, will be the first to deal with him!"
