    Chapter 216 The Solidest Foundation

    The bow of the ship cut through the water and slowly headed north at a speed of ten knots.

    The political disputes in early 1913 began to gradually dissipate like the cold wind, but Yang Qiu, standing on the deck, still felt the slightest chill.  This is an indescribable feeling. What does it feel like when figures who once had countless auras fall in front of you?

    Refreshing?

    No, there is only uneasiness coming from deep inside.

    Murong Han and Gu Weijun walked side by side: "President Li sent a telegram. Mr. Keqiang has resigned from all positions in the government and the Democratic Party and returned to Hong Kong to recuperate. Sun He also asked President Li to tell you that he will  I will re-hold my wedding with Mrs. O Yuexun in Hong Kong at the end of next month, and you are invited to attend. Mr. Zhang Shizhao has already announced in Shanghai as the new chairman of the Democratic Party to take over the work of the two."

    "I saved a woman, but destroyed a faith." Yang Qiu turned his head, his eyes a little distracted: "Haoyu, Shaochuan (Gu Weijun's nickname is also Shaochuan), do you think I did something wrong?"

    The two of them didn't understand why Yang Qiu suddenly became sentimental. Gu Weijun shook his head: "During his tenure, John Adams, the second president of the United States, faced French blackmail and domestic pro-French forces and took the initiative to start a war without any declaration of war.  During the trial, a large number of pro-French rebels were arrested and thrown into prison. Later, a reporter asked him why he did this. Do you know what his answer was?" He asked and answered himself: "He said, either I become an American criminal, or I become an American criminal.  America is truly ** and I have no choice.¡±

    "At that time, he was called a tyrant and a war monger by many Americans, but now Americans call him a giant of humanity." Murong Han also knew this history and said: "In fact, think about it the other way around.  , if you, Vice President, are in a weak position, I'm afraid they will do more cruel things than you do, just likethey did to Mr. Song."

    "I personally think that you have not destroyed your faith, but are helping the Democratic Party. Compared with us, they are too chaotic internally, and their gang-like management model cannot adapt to the trend of the times. In the eyes of Europe and the United States, they are not even as good as Indian parties  ." Gu Weijun walked to the side, holding his hands on the railing and looking dimly: "After this heavy blow, it is only a matter of time before the elders of the Democratic Party fade away. There will definitely be major internal adjustments. Maybe they will hate you, but the older generation will step down.  The voices of more new forces that have been suppressed by fanaticism will gradually become louder. It may take some time, but I believe that if they can mature, they will still be the biggest opponent of the National Society."

    "Don't Shaochuan think that they will never recover from this?" Yang Qiu asked.

    Gu Weijun shook his head firmly: "Unlesssomeone suppresses it, it won't happen! And I firmly believe it."

    Yang Qiu became a little curious and asked: "Why?"

    Gu Weijun spoke confidently: "To tell you the truth, I had considered the issue of the national system before returning to China and wrote a paper on it. In my opinion, when the emperor's soil disappears, the seeds of republic will not immediately emerge.  Because people have become accustomed to having a piece of sky above their heads, not to say how good it is, but to the inertia of human beings themselves. That¡¯s why Yuan Shikai was so sought after before, because the people are deeply afraid that freedom will destroy all rules and destroy our  Tradition and culture have been trampled upon, and they need to find a strong person to fill the void.¡±

    Yang Qiu looked at him curiously. As a visitor from later generations, he knew these theories very well, but this was the first time he heard it from a person of this era. Moreover, he was still a young man who had long accepted American liberal ideas. He asked curiously: "  Isn¡¯t Shaochuan afraid that this will lead to dictatorship?¡±

    "Afraid! So I think you can weaken the current so-called big bosses of the Democratic Party, but please retain the core and let them run their own business slowly. In this way, they will definitely come back in ten or twenty years, because people can think  Yes! They will also become tired of affairs. When people are tired of strongman politics, even if their lives are good, they will wonder whether it would be better if they changed their choices. This is like eating dragon liver and phoenix brains every day, and one day they will  Boring."

    "I don't think there's anything wrong with dictatorship." Before Yang Qiu could continue to ask, Murong Han suddenly interrupted: "We are a weak and poor country, with a large population and sparse cultivated land, and the national resources have been consumed for thousands of years.  It has long ceased to be rich. We have missed it and have become a semi-colony. Even Japan, Mongolia and Xinjiang dare to deliberately split, just because we have too many internal disputes, constraints and noises! We cannot expect the European and American powers to show mercy, Japan  I don¡¯t even want to see a strong China, because Asia cannot accommodate two world powers! So I think we should learn from the Second Empire, speak with one voice, concentrate resources and strength to do some big things, and use blood and steel to create a piece of sunshine.  The sky below!¡±

    "Haoyu is extreme. I know you like Germany, and you also admit that early centralization can help the country concentrate its energy! Our generation can do this,Even the second generation can accept it, but what about the third generation?  What about the fourth generation?  It will end one day. Instead of being miserable when the time comes, it is better to let it go as soon as possible.  Besides, don¡¯t you think that would create more political and social problems?  Just like cleaning up a house, even the military power is lost in the end!  "Gu Weijun looked at his friend's eyes and continued: "It can indeed promote the greatest improvement in productivity in a short period of time, but what about the future?  Lack of restricted resources will gradually be concentrated in the hands of a small group of people, and citizens will not be able to enjoy good welfare?  "

    Murong Han insisted on his own opinion and said: "It can be legislated. As long as the whole country knows that the law is above everything else and above power, then it can be solved."

    "What about those who draft the law? Who will supervise the neutrality of the law?"

    Watching the two young people who had a good personal relationship arguing with each other, Yang Qiu felt a lot more relaxed. Thoughts transcended national boundaries. What they were talking about now had actually been discussed countless times in Europe, and both of them agreed.  That way, at least for now, only one voice is needed, in the future no one can predict.  So he smiled casually and said: "Go to work. You are discussing it too early. We have not yet completed the reunification of the country."

    As the two people said, the Democratic Party experienced a strange scene in which the top leaders of the interim parliament suddenly defected, which triggered violent turmoil at the middle and lower levels. The Democratic Party's newspapers and reporters were asking questions every day, and countless people were speculating about what happened that day.  What.  Since the Democratic Party was almost completely wiped out in this round of political games, many ordinary people who had been absorbed by Song Jiaoren before and thought that the party was like an organization like the White Lotus Sect and the Red Lantern Club, and that they would enjoy good food and drink after joining, began to  quit.

    As Mr. Sun, Huang Keqiang, Tan Renfeng and others fled the country one after another, and the senior members of the Democratic Party began to fade away, the withdrawal of a large number of miscellaneous people caused some young people to emerge and gradually become a new force.

    However, the adjustment of the Chinese Democratic Party at this time also caused heavy losses. Those grassroots members saw that the decline of the Democratic Party was inevitable, so they quit and joined the National Socialist Party. Yan Xishan and other powerful factions immediately announced their withdrawal and joined the National Socialist Party.  Embracing, even in war, no exception.  Since at the beginning of the founding of the National Socialist Party, Yang Qiu formulated strict and meticulous organizational regulations and drafts in accordance with the modern model of later generations. He had his own goals and programs, and paid special attention to young people and technology. In rural areas, he implemented policies to benefit farmers after taking power.  Suddenly, its influence spread to every corner of the country, and in just a few months, the National Society suddenly achieved its goal of controlling 80% of the seats in Congress.

    For Yang Qiu, this number means that he has accomplished what both Yuan Shikai and Song Jiaoren wanted to do but failed to accomplish, consolidating his position through party affiliation and avoiding the constraints of the parliamentary system to the greatest extent.

    After careful consideration, he finally accepted Gu Weijun¡¯s suggestion and did not move the remaining 20% ??of seats. Although competition and suppression still existed, the scale and intensity were considered to be artificially suppressed.  As for the remaining two parties, when the media was extremely underdeveloped and the people only looked at who gave them benefits and who took them out of poverty, they were far away from the power of power and wanted to regain 31% of the seats.  , will be an extremely long road.

    But after all, it is saving seeds for the future.

    On March 20, Yang Qiu, who returned to Wuchang, wrote to Zhang Jizhi and Zhang Shizhao respectively, proposing the concept of a national three-party system and suggesting that Congress immediately draft a draft and pass it into legislation.

    This legislation surprised the two of them, because within just ten days, most of their members had defected to the National Socialist Party, making them all ready to be annexed or slowly die out, but now they have this  This law means that as long as the Republic of China exists, there will be at most three parties competing for power in the future. Having laid a solid foundation, they finally don¡¯t have to worry about competing with other small parties for the few remaining seats in Congress. As long as they themselves  If you don¡¯t make mistakes and don¡¯t be swallowed up by others and swept into history, then the National Socialist Party, the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party will become the main structure of the country for a long time in the future, just like the two-party system in the United States, where they compete for nothing more than the power to govern.

    This is an absolutely unfair party protection bill, because in this way, other parties must squeeze out one of them if they want to gain the right to run. But the problem is that these three parties have strong foundations. Needless to say, the National Socialist Party has only been around for a short time.  , but its advanced management model, tight organization, development path combining elites and civilians, strong support from the industrial and commercial system, and the financial blood transfusion of a large number of state-owned business families that were born later made it destined to be an independent company in the next few decades.  big.

    Although the Democratic Party suffered a disastrous defeat, its influence is still considerable. The elites who have been retained have become down-to-earth. Even Yang Qiu knows that they will one day slowly recover. The conservative Republican Party is all composed of Jiangnan gentry. Although these people have no influence on the party.  The concept is vague, but its influence in the southeast is not small. Therefore, other domestic parties will either gain strong support and grow overnight to crowd out any of the three, or??Forever blocked from the ruling circle.

    ??Is it necessary for a party that will never gain power in its lifetime to exist?  Therefore, many newspapers and liberal commentators believe that this is a retrogression of the Republic, accusing the three companies of using their advantage to suppress the weak. However, the three companies are not fools. This draft is undoubtedly to protect them, so they have completed the control of all seats in the provisional Congress.  The three parties immediately passed the draft and formally enacted it.

    The impact of a series of political earthquakes and transactions that occurred in just half a month was far-reaching. It can even be said to have laid a solid foundation for the future of the Republic of China. In this series of operations, not only the country, but even the entire world saw  When he arrived in the Far East, the young man's political skills were so proficient that they even surpassed his times. This greatly changed the world's view of the child's play of political construction in the Far East.

    The famous New York Times even used the words "great changes" to describe this dizzying series of political changes. Even the harsh and arrogant British government believed that Yang Qiu was using despicable conspiracies and means to attack political opponents and achieve the goal.  In order to control the government and Congress, it also laid a solid political foundation for the country.

    ? #####

    ps: This section of politics is finally finished. I know many people don¡¯t like this section, but in that era, only by completely suppressing all the strongmen and passing the three-party legislation in a high-pressure mode can we truly lay the foundation for a republic without affecting the early stage.  The need for dictatorship.  Because from a historical point of view, I cannot imagine that the top leaders of the Democratic Party can bypass politics and successfully build the country. Compared with the complete dictatorship of using force to kill everyone, this is the solution to the Republic of China that is more in line with Confucianism in Hippo's mind.  So whether it was conspiracy, despicable, or even shameless, Yang Qiu had to do it.

    Of course, this is just Hippo¡¯s personal opinion
