Chapter 95

Yuan Shikai has been in a good mood recently, and he has finally become the president. Although there will be smooth and unsatisfactory events in the next few years, it is generally developing in a better direction. The key now is how to win the election and truly win the election.

In the sense of controlling the cabinet.

At this moment, Yuan Shikai is having a discussion with a famous missionary in history. This person is called Liang Qichao, whose courtesy name is Zhuoru. If you are more familiar with history, you will know that Liang Qichao has a series of glittering labels on his forehead. Political activist

, Enlightenment thinker, bourgeois propagandist, educator and historian, as well as a famous scholar.

Such a figure can be said to be influential enough. If we look back, he was a major participant in the Reform Movement of 1898 and a pioneer of the bourgeois reformists.

Yuan Shikai had high hopes for Liang Qichao. The Progressive Party, formed by Liang Qichao's merger of several parties, emerged as a hot topic in this election and was also an important political capital for the cooperation between Liang Qichao and Yuan Shikai.

Someone has a very concise evaluation of Liang Qichao: He has great ambitions but cherishes his own life. Without researching this statement, it is said that the first person in history to use "Chinese nation" in an article was this man.

Liang Qichao was once one of the leading figures of the constitutional monarchists. Now that he has become a republic, he does not dare to be lonely and want to roll around on the political stage. Well, most literati in this era have political ideals, which is different from traditional Confucianism.

The words are of the same origin. Chinese people study to become officials! In fact, before the republican system was established, Liang Qichao was still advocating a constitutional monarchy.

The cooperation between Liang Qichao and Yuan Shikai naturally hopes to win the general election. Liang Qichao is indeed a very influential figure, but times have changed and his methods are outdated. Liang Qichao will definitely not admit this.

. Even if in future history, this man suffers a bloody blow in the political arena, he seems to have the intention of never changing his mind.

In Japan, Liang Qichao published the article "The Principles of the Founding of China", fully affirming the significance of the Revolution of 1911 and proposing a republican political plan. The plan is conducive to civilian governance, limits the dictatorship of the president, and prevents rebellion and division in various provinces. Liang Qichao's response to

The prediction and theoretical analysis of revolutionary turmoil is also a common concern of revolutionary republicans. Therefore, the political plan he proposed was approved by the vast majority of revolutionaries and original constitutionalists, and became the guiding principle of republican politics. Thus winning the revolutionary republic

Yuan Shikai secretly applauded his proposal to establish a strong central government, and Sun Yat-sen also heartily welcomed the plan. Yuan Shikai sent an envoy to invite Liang to return to the country. Probably because history has been distorted, all of this was advanced in advance.

It happened. Fang Jianxiong, a time traveler, seemed to have given history a booster, forcing many things to happen in advance.

While Xu Shuzheng was going south, Liang Qichao returned to Beijing and was warmly welcomed by Yuan Shikai. He was then entrusted with important responsibilities and consulted on everything. Liang Qichao was very satisfied with this situation. After returning to China, he came to discuss state affairs with Yuan Shikai for several days.

Liang Qichao can be said to be a favorite at this stage, and all factions are wooing him. Well, only Fang Jianxiong, a reactionary warlord, seems not to be very interested in Mr. Liang. The formation of the Progressive Party can be Liang Qichao's greatest political capital, and it is also Yuan Shikai's.

Think it can be used as a weapon against the Kuomintang.

The conversation between the two went smoothly. Yuan Shikai approved five hundred thousand yuan in funding with a stroke of his pen. When Liang Qichao left with satisfaction, he met Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng waiting at the door.

Liang Qichao, who currently lives in Xianliang Temple, is enjoying the spring breeze and does not pay much attention to the appearance of the two warriors. After the Republic of China, party politics is about to begin. Throughout the dynasties, warriors have had little to say on the issue of governing the country.

Right.

At this time, Liang Qichao probably would not have thought that if history did not change, China in the future would evolve into a long-term situation in which warriors rule the country. In fact, objectively speaking, isn't Yuan Shikai also a warrior?

Of course, literati never think about these things. Whoever takes charge of this family cannot do without literati.

After Yuan Shikai showed off to Liang Qichao and Liang Qixun, he came back. When he saw Xu Shuzheng standing beside him, he was silent for a long time and then sighed helplessly: "Zheng again, it's been a hard journey."

"President, your humble position is not hard, but your humble position has something to say." Xu Shuzheng stepped forward and answered loudly.

Yuan Shikai had no time to listen to what he said now. He waved his hand and said: "Zhiquan, let Youzheng go home and have a good rest. If you need anything, write a report and give it to Zhang Zhongren."

Xu Shuzheng looked anxious and was about to argue when Duan Qirui pulled him back. He had to endure it and watched Yuan Shikai's back as he entered.

"Zhiquan, why don't you let me tell you?" Xu Shuzheng was a little anxious. Duan Qirui waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

The two came out and met Feng Guozhang and Wang Shizhen on the way. "Hua Fu, Pinqing, are you two going to see the president?" When Duan Qirui saw these two people, he immediately stepped forward to greet them. What did these two say?

Wang Shizhen seems to be retiring now. Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui are fighting openly and secretly for more than a day or two. No.

At this stage, Beiyang can still be united because of the existence of Yuan Shikai. After all, if Beiyang collapses, it will have nothing to do with everyone. The incompatibility between Feng and Duan will only happen later. If history remains unchanged

, the Zhili clique and the Anhui clique later fought a war, well, it was a war with heavy thunder and small rain.

"Zheng Zheng is back again, let's talk about the situation over there." Wang Shizhen was very good at smoothing things over, but Xu Shuzheng's face darkened slightly when he asked this question. Looking at Duan Qirui's somewhat ugly expression, he still whispered: "It's nothing.

It's easy to say, but the errand was not done well."

Feng Guozhang looked thoughtful, but had no intention of speaking. Wang Shizhen waved his hand and said: "Don't think too much. Originally, there was not much hope that the other party would help the country to submit. Go back and have a good rest."

Wang Shizhen is definitely the big brother. In Beiyang, a system based on seniority, Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui have to smile and be polite in front of him. After being polite, the two of them continued to walk in. Wang Shizhen suddenly smiled and said: "Hua

"Fuck, I seemed to have something to say just now, why didn't you say it?"

Feng Guozhang smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Actually, you don't have to ask, you all know that Xu Shuzheng has something he didn't explain clearly. Let's wait and see. With his character, he will definitely write a fierce report."

Wang Shizhen looked at Feng Guozhang somewhat surprised and said, "Oh? Hua Fu might as well say it clearly."

Feng Guozhang walked forward slowly and said in a low voice: "Xu Youzheng is a knowledgeable person and his ability is not bad. He went to Wuhan and Wuhu. What he saw and heard made him feel anxious. In fact, there is no need to go.

, look at the newspapers, and then look at the battlefield, you will know that Beiyang has been left behind a lot. Hum, right now, the president’s mind is still on the election of the cabinet. I won’t talk about it..."

With a sigh, Feng Guozhang continued walking inside.

Another man of the hour in Beijing is not Sun Yat-sen, but Song Jiaoren. Although Sun Yat-sen is still in Beijing, this man seems not to be too concerned about the current party politics. Instead, he is selling his industry around Beijing.

With the idea of ​​​​saving the country, he threatened to build as many railways as possible. Oh, it seems to be 100,000 kilometers! He also "ardently" hoped that Yuan Shikai could build a million-strong army.

Song Jiaoren has been busy building a political party in the recent period. Because history has been messed up, many things have been precipitated. For example, in this election, Yuan Shikai was forced to agree to hold the election within six months. In private, for this matter, he and Fang Jianxiong

The telegram explains, and by the way, I reserve the position of marshal for you.

Song Jiaoren was an enthusiast of party politics, and constitutionalism was like a fish in water for Song Jiaoren. Song Jiaoren was really busy in Beijing during this period. The Kuomintang, a political party that played an important role in Chinese history, seemed to also want to

It was born in advance. Song Jiaoren contacted and traveled everywhere to promote his political ideas. It seemed that Song Jiaoren did a good job and the situation was excellent. As long as the Kuomintang was formally established, victory in the general election was not a problem.

In real history, Song Jiaoren did win the election, but lost his life. And it triggered a public case. Who did Song's assassination? In the end, the hat of assassinating Song was still on Yuan Shikai's head. So, Sun

The Tongmenghui led by Huang launched a second revolution. Because they were seriously unpopular, Sun and Huang's second revolution was easily defeated by Yuan Shikai.

Well, who said that the Second Revolution was unpopular? To be honest, let alone the Second Revolution was unpopular. To be precise, it was the entire leadership of the Tongmenghui that was unpopular. So, the Chinese Revolutionary Party and Sun Yat-sen were born.

Huang fell out. The reason was that Sun required members of the Chinese Revolutionary Party to swear allegiance to him. By the way, you read that right, this is the historical truth.

Fang Jianxiong, who also shouted for democratic constitutionalism, was in Wuchang at the moment, but he was inspecting the troops everywhere. The smooth reorganization of the first division of the National Defense Forces set a model for the following divisions. Objectively speaking, at this stage, Fang Jianxiong was in the new equipment

There are still big gaps, especially for rifles. At this stage, Fang Jianxiong’s new rifles are only enough for him to equip two infantry divisions. Previously, the fourth and sixth divisions had completed the replacement ahead of schedule. During the subsequent reorganization

, it went most smoothly.

These two divisions are also the priority for the second phase of adjustment. At the same time, the second division begins to reorganize and reorganize. After completing the reorganization and reorganization of the four divisions, Fang Jianxiong's remaining troops will have to slowly replace them with new rifles.

It’s been a while. Now Wuhan and Hanyang are not fully engaged in the production of rifles, and more energy is spent on equipment modification and technology absorption.

The five production lines promised by the Americans are said to have started production in the United States and can be shipped to Wuhu in up to three months. Of course, this will also require money, but the price can be discussed.

Fang Dashuai's busyness during this period is really not eye-catching compared to the busyness in Beijing. Last time he returned to Wuhu, he also held a small ceremony to reveal the identities of the two women in a very low-key manner.

It's confirmed.
