- Chapter 215 Simple Majority (Part 2)
The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Provisional Congress. When the car door opened, the eyes of the entire China were focused here at this moment.
Many people were secretly surprised by Zhang Jizhi's arrival hand in hand, but before Lenovo started, a burst of violent flashes of light almost melted the car. Navy blue military uniform, shiny leather boots, slender back, steady steps, and There is a confident smile hanging on the corner of the mouth.
In an instant, all eyes were attracted.
Those who applaud him say this is the image of the New Republic of China, those who are vicious say it is arrogance and showing off, and those who are neutral believe that he has real ability to rise. But no matter how noisy it is, it can no longer shake his determination to overthrow the foundation of Beiyang rule from a legal perspective today.
"Yang, it's nice to see you again."
Hangel and Steady walked down the stairs quickly. This guy seemed to be everywhere. In fact, it was not just him. There were too many foreign VIPs in Nanjing today, and they all came to observe the Provisional Congress. It is the hottest topic in the Far East recently to grasp the future direction of this country at the first time.
"You two are distinguished guests from our country, why don't you enter first?"
"We are waiting for you." Hanger held Yang Qiu affectionately, looked around and said, "I heard that you are getting married soon, so we specially brought a gift."
Yang Qiu laughed dumbly. These guys were so pervasive that they even found out that he was getting married. But this is not a secret. A few days ago, the news that Mr. Miao from Zhigongtang brought three ships of goods purchased from the United States up the river has spread. He smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern. I don't know what kind of gift it is." Woolen cloth?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, you will definitely like it." Steady and Hangel smiled at each other, deliberately walked inside without solving the riddle, and after seeing Li Yuanhong, they walked into the special seats set up for them according to etiquette.
Li Yuanhong was also particularly happy today. He specially put on the general uniform customized for him by the National Defense Forces to show Yang Qiu that he had completely stood with the National Socialist Party. To be honest, he really didn't expect that Yang Qiu would let him serve as the interim president. Although it was temporary and he was still a polished president, who wouldn't want to sit in that position if he had the opportunity? Relying on the force of this young man and his National Socialist Party, we can finally have a taste of this.
However, he also knew that this was a hard job. The Democratic Party was now clinging to the parliamentary system. This was their last straw. The National Socialist Party had not yet become a dominant party, and there would definitely be a lot of quarrels in the future. He said: " Chenhua, you put me on the fire to roast me, but to be honest, this position is better for you."
Yang Qiu understood what he was thinking and smiled slightly: "Teacher, you deserve to be where you are today. In terms of your contribution to righteousness and overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who else can compare with you now?"
Li Yuanhong thought about it. Except for the person in front of him, Yuan Shikai's popularity was greatly reduced after his pigtails were grabbed. Not only did he fall ill and couldn't get up, but everyone in Beiyang was also disgraced. Huang Keqiang has long since lost his original vigor, Song Jiaoren is dead, Chen Qimei is in jail, Sun Wen He went to Japan and is said to have had a year-end love affair again. This person's private life is so bad, just mention a few things. It was enough to undermine his prestige. As for Li Liejun, Hu Hanmin and others, they are too junior, and Zhang Jizhi and Liang Qichao cannot sit in this position because of their status as royalist constitutionalists. If you think about it carefully, those who were once considered to be able to reach the top, or who had a short-lived success at the top, are more or less all It was because of him that he fell, and the idea that he must never be an enemy suddenly arose in his mind.
Until he later left office, he never let go of this idea.
"Students only hope that teachers will remember one thing. Now that there is a republic, it is impossible for the emperor to come back! No one can maintain power for a long time, so what we need to learn is not Napoleon, but" Side by side Yang Qiu, who was walking, suddenly stopped and looked at him deeply: "A family like Morgan and Rockefeller!"
The last time Yang Qiu talked to him, he had mentioned these two figures who could influence Congress and even the presidential election in the United States. When he heard him mention it again now, he immediately understood what he meant. partisan! Only by establishing a political party and passing it on from generation to generation can true stability be achieved.
The two quickly walked to the door of the large conference room. The conference room, which could accommodate hundreds of people, was already full. Tan Yankai, Deng Xiaoke, Zhang Weicong and others from Southwest were all here. Even Lu Rongting, who did not come, also sent representatives. Southeast Li Liejun, Chen Jiongming, Bai Wenwei, Xu Shaozhen and others also sat in the first row. On the left are the delegations from various countries who came to observe the meeting. Judging from their expressions, they seem to be more serious than the parliamentarians.
On the front of the rostrum are two crossed five-color flags. There are only four chairs arranged under the flags. Huang Keqiang of the Democratic Party and Zhang Jizhi of the Republican Party have already taken their seats first. The other two chairs are naturally prepared for Yang Qiu and Li Yuanhong.of.
Following those senior officials were representatives of the Provisional Congress of each province. Representatives belonging to the National Socialist Party were beaming with joy, while the Democratic Party had a serious expression. The Republicans were whispering to each other and seemed to be discussing the incident of Zhang Jizhi and Yang Qiu riding together in the car just now. Some other small parties were more relaxed. According to them, today's decision is nothing more than a formality. After the end, it is better to wait and see who is more powerful and find opportunities to sell themselves at a better price.
In addition to them, standing seats were set up for the first time in the conference room. Journalists from all over the country and countries stationed in China filled every aisle. The open space behind the conference room was filled with young students and worker representatives from various provinces. Even the corridor outside was packed with people. Excited faces peeked in from the windows. They were waiting for a result.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? For the members of the House of Representatives who are sitting at attention, the preparatory meeting has been held for several days and has been noisy for several days. There is no suspense about Li Yuanhong's appointment as interim president. No one dares to object to the National Socialist Party taking over key departments such as the military, finance, industry and commerce. The only quarrel is whether to impeach and send troops to the Northern Expedition. For these provincial officials, the Northern Expedition means It is necessary to keep a little money in their own pockets, especially for representatives of provinces north of the Yangtze River. Whether the National Defense Forces can block Beiyang and whether they can win has become a suspense. Under this situation, many people are hesitant to follow suit. If he voted for it to be known to the north, and the National Defense Force lost in the end, his wealth and life would not be saved.
So at this time, more people feel that they should remain neutral, watch Yang Qiu and Yuan Shikai fight on various battlefields, and wait until who is dying before adding insult to injury, so that they can continue to maintain their glory and wealth.
In this atmosphere of everyone having their own thoughts, Yang Qiu walked up to the podium step by step. Everyone's eyes were attracted to him, and the whispering hall began to quiet down. Many people who saw him for the first time were surprised by his youth and youthfulness. Calm temperament.
He did not sit down directly. Instead, he nodded to Li Yuanhong and Zhang Jizhi, glanced meaningfully at Huang Keqiang, and walked straight to the podium. This move made the MPs secretly surprised. What was he going to do? Logically speaking, the leaders of the three major parties should make their own statements first, and then the vice president should speak before voting, right? By doing this, wouldn't it mean that he would directly abolish the Democratic Party and the Republican Party and deny them a chance to speak out?
Li Liejun, Hu Hanmin and others who came from afar looked at him angrily, but Yang Qiu didn't care at all. After taking a step forward and scanning the whole place, he suddenly raised his arms: "We don't have much time! For everyone here, you still have time to negotiate, plan, and trade! But for me, for this country! It has come to a life-or-death moment where every second counts! The soldiers on the front line are ready to go, and the 40 million citizens are eagerly waiting. Wait, soI don¡¯t have time to give a long explanation.¡±
His opening remarks were simple and powerful, and a picture of hundreds of thousands of soldiers embarking on a journey, rolling northward, suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The translators in the auditorium were talking quickly. Huang Keqiang looked at his back on the rostrum and was a little confused. Zhang Jizhi was still calculating how to choose for the upcoming vote. Li Yuanhong still squinted his eyes and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.
"In the past twenty years, we have experienced a turbulent era. Seniors such as Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong pioneered Westernization and brought industrial buds to the country. The Manchu government did not take advantage of this craze, but destroyed the Great Wall. Only then did the disastrous defeat of Shimonoseki in Sino-Japanese War humiliate the country! The Boxer Movement and the compensation during the Xinchou Year! This great country was on the verge of collapse.
At this most critical moment, the Six Gentlemen¡¯s awe-inspiring righteousness and Huanghuagang¡¯s chivalry and courage! Like a bright color in the darkness, it ignited people's hearts, urging generations of heroes to use their blood and sacrifices to finally achieve the creation of the world more than a year ago! The decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty was overthrown by us, and democracy and freedom came to the vast land of China. "
He spoke passionately, and suddenly slapped the podium hard, shattering the memory and bitterness like a dusk drum: "But! There is such a small group of people who took advantage of the revolution and blinded the people! We were Take advantage of it!¡±
The beautiful Yangtze River winds up, and people have stopped in the once busy Hankou. The logistics officer holds his watch on the platform, and groups of fully armed soldiers get into the stuffy tank carriages. The young faces are full of nervousness, expectation, and belief. ! A loud siren sounded every thirty minutes, sending them to the line of life and death.
Against the background of rolling iron wheels, a loud voice continued to echo in the conference room: "When I learned about the secret agreement, I was extremely angry! This is a great country with 11.41 million square kilometers. When our soldiers shed blood for the country, when While our soldiers are guarding the border in the wind and snow, some people are using their land to trade! No one has this right, this is not private property, this is the sovereignty of the 40 million Chinese people!"
"I once thought that as long as he abrogates the secret agreement, then we can still sit down and use political means to resolve disputes. I also stood in front of him when I was in Tianjin.?I said that as long as he is abolished, I am willing to resign from my official position and become a soldier, guarding every inch of the country for him! I had unlimited expectations, but I heard gunshots. "
"Before the hospital bed, Mr. Dunchu held my hand. His hand was cold and there was no blood on his face, but he was still telling us to defend the Republic and uphold the Constitution!"
"I promised him! So I hope that everyone here will cherish your vote. Today's vote is not only your personal choice, but also the country, the 40 million compatriots, and whether your descendants can live in peace and freedom. The choice!¡±
"Now! I request Congress" He bent down and bowed deeply, his voice low and solemn: "Impeach Beiyang Interim President Yuan Shikai who betrayed national interests! Request the dissolution of the existing government! Please elect a new interim president! Please grant me the right to control all the power of the Southern Army! Please grant the National Defense Force the right to use force to wipe out the North! Please"
A series of requests gradually made the whole place into an uproar, especially those who held military power: Li Liejun, Chen Jiongming, Bai Wenwei and Xu Shaozhen. They held the largest armed force of the Democratic Party, with a total of eight infantry divisions in the four provinces. A total of more than 100,000 people! If Congress passes the request, it means that the National Socialist Party will completely control the military power in the south. From then on, the Democratic Party will become an out-and-out political party and become a fish in the hands of others!
"I don't agree!" Faced with such conditions, Li Liejun was the first to stand up and snorted: "I am willing to cooperate in the battle, but I cannot leave it to the control of the National Defense Forces!"
Although Jiangxi is poor, Li Liejun is currently one of the most powerful figures in the Democratic Party. The General Staff of the National Defense Forces has always believed that the two divisions and one brigade of the Jiangxi Army are the most capable troops among all the armed forces of the Democratic Party. Even after mobilizing the Northern Expedition, they are still fighting in Hunan and Jiangxi. A security force of more than five brigades was maintained on the border. Therefore, with his statement, many outsiders began to waver.
But Yang Qiu seemed not to see him. He sat on the podium and smiled at Huang Keqiang: "Mr. Keqiang, long time no see."
Huang Keqiang looked at him, unable to express his feelings. At this moment, he wished that Song Jiaoren and Sun Wen could be by his side. The former had extraordinary political wisdom, and the latter had prestige comparable to his, so only they could contain this person. But the fisherman has passed away and Zhongshan has not yet arrived. What should we do?
Out of politeness, he exchanged a few words, but his mind was still in the venue and couldn't get away. When Li Liejun saw that Yang Qiu was not looking at him at all, a chill gradually rose in his eyes, and he turned to look at Chen Jiongming and Bai Wenwei.
Like him, these two people are considered the most die-hard governors of the Democratic Party.
Chen Jiongming did not stand up immediately. He had his own reasons. Hu Hanmin had been threatening his position since he returned to Guangzhou. Moreover, there was Long Jiguang in Guangdong who had defected to Yuan Shikai's armed forces. He had twenty of the original Guangdong New Army. The six towns were actually the original twenty-five towns of the Guangxi New Army. Because the Qing government after Huanghuagang no longer believed in the Guangdong New Army, they demobilized the Guangdong Army on the spot and changed the name of the Guangxi New Army to the Guangdong Army. Therefore, all of their subordinates were Guangxi soldiers. , he has no control at all.
As for Bai Wenwei, he simply stood beside Li Liejun, but his momentum was too small. Everyone knew that he was the governor of Anhui in name only. It was hard to say whether the division in his hands could listen to him.
But the persistence of these two people in opposing still made people feel uneasy, especially the members of the National Socialist Party who looked at them angrily. At this moment, everyone looked at Xu Shaozhen.
Three divisions, one garrison regiment!
The largest armed group in the south is entrenched in Nanjing again!
We can imagine how important Xu Shaozhen is. His choice means whether the military power will completely shift to Yang Qiu, so he immediately looked at Zhang Jizhi and Huang Keqiang, hoping to get some hints. When a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
"Wait a minute!"
The loud voice was so familiar that many people almost jumped up excitedly. They saw that Mr. Sun, who had been away from domestic politics for a long time, had already pushed aside the guards and walked in. Next to him was a young and beautiful girl. Even Yang Qiu took a second look at the youthful style.
His sudden appearance immediately set off the whole venue. The Kuomintang people took the lead in applauding and cheering. Even Huang Keqiang couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and greeted him excitedly. This made Li Yuanhong and everyone in the National Society secretly say something bad. Only Yang Qiu looked at it. Waving their hats, he and Miss Song suddenly had a playful smile on their lips, and then gave Lei Meng a wink.
Mr. Sun¡¯s timely return is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the leaderless Democratic Party. Yang Qiu and Li Yuanhong looked at each other and greeted them with a smile: ¡°Welcome Mr. Sun to come back and preside over the overall situation.¡±
Mr. Sun shook hands with Li Yuanhong, but ignored Yang Qiu's extended palm. He just nodded lightly and then left.He took up the podium. Upon seeing this, Li Liejun took the lead and shouted: "Welcome to Mr. Sun's speech! I suggest that Mr. Sun be re-elected as president to lead our Northern Expedition!"
The roar of applause made Mr. Sun very excited. Miss Song next to him also showed a look of ecstasy and admiration. The small gesture of not shaking hands with Yang Qiu filled the venue with a strange atmosphere.
Mr. Sun handed the hat to Miss Song and smiled at him. His eyebrow-raising movements made people both envious and indescribable. He cleared his throat and pressed the edge of the podium with both hands, as if he was about to deliver a speech. An impassioned declaration of return.
urgent! Very urgent!
The National Socialist Party was very anxious, Li Yuanhong was very anxious, and Zhang Xiaozhun and Zhang Taiyan outside were even more anxious. There was even a commotion in the seats of representatives from various countries who were observing. Hangel and Steady could not hide their worried eyes. They were originally They are optimistic that Yang Qiu will come to power through this meeting, so that they who have established a good relationship can seek greater interests for the United States, but if he regains the right to speak, he will not be able to obtain unified command of the southern military power. Even if the National Defense Forces can defeat Beiyang, they will pay a heavy price and be taken advantage of by the Kuomintang, and the United States will have to reconsider its China policy.
The eyes suddenly focused on the young face sitting motionless behind Mr. Sun. His indifferent smile made it difficult to tell what cards he would play. The venue gradually became quiet, and everyone's ears pricked up. Was it a fight or?
Sudden!
Mr. Sun, who had just moved his lips, suddenly shook his body. Although it was very subtle, there were too many eyes on him at this moment, so even the smallest movements were magnified countless times!
What happened? Everyone followed his gaze and turned to look, only to see a young woman wearing a Japanese kimono appear behind the venue at some point. The woman was also holding the hand of a girl dressed in the same Japanese style.
The girl is very beautiful, but maybe she is still nervous when seeing so many people. Her left hand is tightly hooked on her mother's arm, and she is holding a rag doll in her right hand. What is strange is that the face of the rag doll is similar to Mr. Sun's. Very similar.
"Dad." The girl looked at Mr. Sun and finally plucked up the courage.
The crisp sound sounded like thunder to everyone¡¯s ears! Behind her, Miss Song's eyes kept wandering between mother, daughter and Mr. Sun. A woman's intuition told her that they were his family! When did he have a Japanese wife? And gave birth to a daughter?
Those innocent eyes and shouts made Mr. Sun's body tremble. Huang Keqiang suddenly looked at Yang Qiu beside him, as if his body was frozen! He is very familiar with this mother and daughter, but the problem is that there are only two or three people in the Democratic Party who know about their existence! They are all the absolute core of the Democratic Party, and no one will expose this matter! So how did he know? Could it be Chen Qimei?
No! Chen Qimei will never betray him, Huang Keqiang can guarantee this. Although his eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling are very criticized, he is indeed the real core. Otherwise, how could he stay in the top leadership of the Democratic Party who need a good reputation?
Who is it?
This person is so scary! He seems to know everything! He could know the agreement that only Yuan Shikai and a very few people in Japan knew, and he could know the most secret things within the core of the Democratic Party! What else can be hidden from him?
The last trace of confidence was completely destroyed. Because he understands that if this mother and daughter appeared at any other time, they would be scolded by feminists at most, and maybe it would become a popular love affair, but now it is destructive! The existence of the secret agreement has aroused people's hostility towards Japan. At this time, what kind of association will they have if their respected Mr. Sun actually has a Japanese wife and gave birth to a daughter?
Yang Qiu also looked at him and nodded to Murong Han, who handed a thick document to Huang Keqiang.
As soon as Huang Keqiang opened it, he knew that the Democratic Party had completely lost this time. If the mother and daughter could still struggle a little when they appeared, then the document was written in Chen Qimei's handwriting and signed by the two scum, Tang Jiyao and Liu Cunhou! As long as it is announced, the Democratic Party will become the target of public criticism! He is so terrifying. Being able to obtain such top-secret things only shows that the Democratic Party has been infiltrated by him. It is even more clear that this is just a warning, and he even has more unknown secrets on his hands!
??????????????????????????????????????????? outlly out! If it continues, what awaits the Democratic Party will not be light, but only endless scoldings and ** statements.
After Huang Keqiang returned the document to Murong Han, he stood up unsteadily, walked to Sun Wen in despair and whispered. Everyone looked at the two remaining leaders of the Democratic Party in astonishment and wanted to know what they were discussing, but no one knew.
Mr. Sun turned his head and looked at Yang Qiu, who was sitting upright and smiling. His eyes were full of panic and confusion. The careful SongSister's heart sank to the bottom, it turned out that all the glory and glory were lies!
She was disappointed, her eyes were slightly red, and she turned away angrily without leaving a word.
Her departure left the venue stunned. With the appearance of the Japanese mother and daughter, the atmosphere in the entire venue became extremely strange, and the air seemed to solidify. Everyone stared at the two people who were still muttering, waiting for the final speech.
Mr. Sun's hand returned to the edge of the podium. A careful person could notice the slightly trembling fingers. He glanced at the mother and daughter, and his face had no expression. It was as stiff as death. He said in a hoarse voice: "For the country." And the people, Icompletely agree with Yang Qiu¡¯s request!¡±
What? What! What! ! !
Everyone's eyes widened, especially the hard-core Third Governor of the Kuomintang. Li Liejun and others who had heavy troops couldn't believe it. They shouted: "No, we must not agree! This is Yang Qiu's conspiracy! Mr. Sun, please explain quickly. Clearly, is he threatening you?"
Facing the hysterical shouting below, Mr. Sun and Huang Keqiang were helpless, but what else could they say now? Their generation has grown old, and what they can do now is either to be suppressed and completely discredited and lose their support, or to wait for the new generation of leaders of the Democratic Party to emerge. This is politics. A life-and-death struggle is far more terrifying than an open sword or an open gun on the battlefield!
But can we wait until that day?
"I hope that everyone can put aside their disputes and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the Northern Expedition to serve the country"
Before Huang Keqiang finished speaking, Li Liejun, who had a fiery personality, had already stood up angrily: "I won't agree! This is a conspiracy!" After he finished speaking, he left the venue regardless of the obstruction.
"HahaMr. Sun, Keqiang, please sit down quickly." Li Yuanhong knew it was time for him to appear. Hehe smiled and arranged the two of them, and then said: "Let the voting begin." After that, he took the lead in raising his hand. He raised his hand.
Immediately afterwards, the National Socialist Party, which accounted for nearly a quarter, raised their hands.
But that¡¯s not enough! Yang Qiu looked at Zhang Jizhi.
Zhang Jizhi understood the meaning of those two sharp eyes. Although he didn't know why Mr. Sun and Huang Keqiang made a 180-degree turn, one thing was clear. The Democratic Party would definitely be silent for a long time, and after they retreated The vacancy needs to be filled by forces, either by cooperating with the Republican Party to get a share of the pie, or waiting to be swept into garbage. Therefore, as an evergreen figure in Jiangsu and Zhejiang politics, he raised his hand without much hesitation.
His statement affected many people. First of all, Xu Shaozhen quickly raised his hand, and then the Republican Party also gradually raised their hands.
Murong Han quickly counted and found that the number of people raising their hands accounted for 53% of all attendees! It doesn¡¯t even need the votes of the Democratic Party, it already has a simple majority!
On March 1, 1913, the Nanjing Provisional Congress passed Yang Qiu's voting request to impeach and abolish Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang government. It also voted to appoint Li Yuanhong as the third provisional president of the Republic of China, and appointed him to form a new government of the Republic of China. Fu.
Due to the silence of Huang Keqiang and Mr. Sun, the list of interim government was quickly approved. Yang Qiu became Vice President, Minister of Defense and Commander-in-Chief of Navy and Army, Tang Shaoyi became Prime Minister, Zhang Wenjing became Minister of Finance, Shen Shukai became Minister of Industry and Commerce, and Song Ziqing became Chief of General Staff. , Cai E, Cai Jimin and Sa Zhenbing became deputy chiefs of staff, Wu Tingfang became minister of foreign affairs, and Wang Zhengting became deputy minister. Zhang Jizhi was appointed Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Resources, Zhang Taiyan was appointed Minister of Education, Cai Yuanpei was appointed Minister of Railways, etc.
On the same day, Congress authorized the new interim president and the Ministry of National Defense to use all necessary means to disarm the traitorous Beiyang and complete national reunification.
On the morning of March 2, all resolutions and appointments were telegraphed across the country and published in newspapers.
In the afternoon, Li Yuanhong issued Presidential Decree No. 1, ordering two divisions and one brigade of the Gan Army, two divisions of the Guangdong Army, one division of the Fujian Army, one division of the Zhejiang Army, one brigade of the Shanghai Army, three divisions of the Jiangsu Army and one division of the Anhui Army to obey the national defense At the same time, the Nanjing Guard Corps was changed into the Presidential Guard, responsible for protecting the safety of the President and the Provisional Government.
The land of China is once again turbulent!.
