Chapter 203 State affairs and associations

Idea is a good thing. If you use it well, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The so-called "+ victory" is what it means. $*-*$

On the back garden of the railway company, Zhang Jiyang, the Secretary-General of the Political and Publicity Committee, was listening to public opinion. On the manager's office of the railway company, Zhao Bei, was also meeting representatives of public opinion. The difference is that the Secretary-General was listening to public opinion in western Sichuan, while the Commander-in-Chief received representatives from eastern Sichuan.

The Sichuan-Hankou Railway Company is not only related to the interests of the people in western Sichuan, but also to the people in eastern Sichuan. Even the people in Hubei are related to this railway. The so-called "one moves the whole body". Since the news of the deficit case of road funds has been heard, not only the people in western Sichuan are in a raging manner, but even the people in eastern Sichuan have also discussed the deficit case. As the representative of the interests of the people in eastern Sichuan, the provisional provincial parliament house located in Chongqing responded to the public opinion of the Chongqing General Chamber of Commerce at the first time, and issued a telephone call, urging all parties to handle it carefully, and ensure that the rights and interests of the people in Sichuan must be protected. At the same time, it sent a delegation of members of the parliamentary group, led by Speaker Zhu Zhihong to meet the commander-in-chief.

Because the commander-in-chief sent a telegram to garrison troops along the way and ordered Chongqing to send ships to escort, the representatives of the parliamentarians from eastern Sichuan arrived in Chengdu in a short time and entered the city in a dusty manner. Before he could drink some hot tea, he hurriedly posted a message to the commander-in-chief.

Zhu Zhihong, the head of the delegation, was not only the Speaker of the Provincial House of Commons, but also a member of the Chongqing General Chamber of Commerce. More importantly, he was also a member of the Tongmenghui. After the restoration, he immediately disclosed his identity as a revolutionary party and was highly regarded in the House of Commons. Therefore, he not only represents the business community in eastern Sichuan, but also his attitude represents the attitude of the Tongmenghui.

In fact, among the two letters Zhu Zhihong gave to the commander-in-chief, one was a secret telegram from Mr. Sun, the leader of the Tongmenghui. In the telegram, Mr. Sun not only expressed great indignation at the deficit of the road funds, but also clearly pointed out that the appointment of the so-called "Governor of Western Sichuan" was Yuan Shikai's conspiracy to weaken the power of the Southern Revolutionary Party. In this regard, revolutionaries must remain highly vigilant and resolutely fight back when necessary, and the use of force is not ruled out.

In the secret telegram, Mr. Sun also praised the General Order very much, believing that the Commander-in-Chief played a crucial role in the "Wushen Revolution" and was a "great revolutionary man."

"It's not a sugar shell, right?"

Zhao | was alert to putting the sealed electricity into his pocket. Because of the "Qizhou Incident", the Tongmenghui expressed dissatisfaction with his fanatical anti-British attitude and believed that he was unwise to challenge the great powers. Now, the sealed electricity seemed to show the Tongmenghui's desire to repair his relationship with him. Perhaps the Tongmenghui still needed Hanyang to build it, or perhaps the Tongmenghui decided to take this opportunity to weaken Yuan Shikai's prestige, but for whatever purpose, at least the sealed electricity showed that the Tongmenghui was standing in the same trench with the Commander-in-Chief in the case of the Sichuan-Han Road deficit.

Although the Tongmenghui is not strong now, the influence of the Southern Revolutionary Party is still very strong. As long as the Tongmenghui makes a clear statement, the southern revolutionary forces can be united and Yuan Shikai will be even more isolated.

"Mr. Zhu has worked hard all the way. I fully understand your purpose. In fact, if you are not here, I am now presiding a meeting on the aftermath of this road deficit case. On the issue of road deficit case, I am completely on the side of the national interests, but this matter is quite complicated. It cannot be properly resolved in the short term and has not been completely restored in southern Sichuan. The Republican Army is about to launch a large-scale trial of the road deficit case. The day before yesterday, I sent a telegram to the Constitutional Assembly to suggest that they immediately form a special court. The Constitutional Assembly replied to the telegram yesterday. It is recommended that this special court be established in Chengdu. As for the presiding judge, the Constitutional Assembly elected Mr. Pu Dianjun and Mr. Gu Weijun."

The commander-in-chief's words made several congressmen feel relieved.

Zhu Zhihong asked, "We know Pu Dianjun Pu Boying. Who is Gu Weijun?"

Zhao Bei said: "He is from Jiangsu. He went to the United States to study in the United States a few years ago and studied law and diplomacy at Columbia University. After the revolution broke out, he returned to the country. He first served as a legal consultant and diplomatic consultant in the Fujian military government. Later, he participated in the Constitutional Conference in Shanghai. This time he served as the presiding judge of the special court was recommended by the Tongmenghui and the Restoration Association. As for Mr. Pu Dianjun, he was recommended by President Yuan Shikai and Yuan Da. He also studied law and was studying in Japan."

"How old is this Mr. Gu?" asked a MP.

"Twenty-one years old. It is young and promising."

"Does this lack experience?"

Zhu Zhihong did not dare to look up at Zhao Bei. After all, the commander-in-chief is only in his twenties. However, this trial of a deficit case of road money is not as good as a war. It is not just young, promising and motivating. In the eyes of the parliamentarians, the person who is trying a deficit case of road money money should be upright and stern.

"Mr. Zhu is very concerned, and President Yuan also thinks so, so I give the Constitutional Assembly a compromise opinion. The Constitutional Assembly also elects a presiding judge. As for Mr. Gu, he will not serve as a judge, but will be a defense lawyer, and form a lawyer team to defend the relevant criminals in the case of deficits of road funds. Now that the Republic is in a republic, everything must be legal, and criminals also have the power to defend. We revolutionaries should make a good start for the legal construction in the republican era."

"The Commander-in-Chief made such arrangements more appropriate, but I don't know who the other presiding judge elected by the Constitutional Assembly?"

"This presiding judge was actually nominated by me. He was named Zhang Zhenwu, a native of Hubei. He is now in his forties. He studied law and politics a few years ago. He joined the Tongmenghui in Tokyo. After the revolutionary army was in full swing, he returned to China to participate in the revolution and joined the Republican Army. He served as the captain of the Revolutionary Guard Corps and the commander of the temporary division. Although he was very competent in these tasks, considering that China during the Republican era needed more legal and political talents, I had to transfer him from the army to put what he learned into practice. Speaking of which, Mr. Zhang Zhenwu and Mr. Pu Dianjun had a chance to meet when they were in Tokyo."

Zhao Bei introduced it in a real way, but gently exposed the real reason why he transferred Zhang Zhenwu from the army. In fact, the fundamental reason why Zhang Zhenwu left the Revolutionary Guard was his personality. The commander-in-chief did not.

He asked him to organize a small organization in the temporary division of the Revolutionary Guards, so he used the case to transfer him from the army with a legitimate reputation. This was a win-win situation. The commander-in-chief relaxed and Zhenwu had no complaints. After all, this was a judge of the special court. If the case of deficit case of the road money was well tried in the future, the position of the deputy director of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of China was close to him. Even if he could not become an official, at least one lifelong judge of the High Court would not be able to escape.

"A judge elected from the north, one elected from the south, one is a constitutionalist, and the other is a revolutionary. This is best, but the north and the south are in harmony and hardships, and the future will be a good story." A member of parliament nodded with satisfaction.

What the lawmakers are most worried about now is that the case of deficits in the road funds may lead to civil unrest, leading to the continued turmoil in Sichuan. But now it seems that the powerful factions from the north and the south have reached an agreement on this matter, and the Sichuan people can rest assured.

But Zhu Zhihong didn't think so, he was a member of the Tongmeng, and he knew more inside information than others.

Although the Republican government has been established and the Constitution is about to be announced. On the surface, the dispute between the state and the state sports forces is coming to an end, but the battle between the southern revolutionary forces and the northern northern ocean forces has just begun. The dispute between the Sichuan and Han roads is actually a power struggle. This power struggle has long begun. The north and the south are also fighting each other. Today, China's strategy is the situation of the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms. The House of Commons and the Constitution alone cannot unify the government orders of this country.

This struggle must be very fierce. It is not only a battle of wits, but also a struggle force that always belongs to the most powerful person.

"How difficult is state affairs?" Zhu Zhihong sighed.

Before Zhu Zhi finished sighing, a figure at the door of the manager's room swayed. A strong man in short striking stood at the door and looked at his head, which surprised the members of the manager's room. You know, there is now the commander-in-chief of the Republican Army sitting here, which is a military forbidden area. But this strong man was not wearing a military uniform and was obviously not an officer of the guard. How could he break into this military forbidden area casually?

What surprised the members even more was still behind. When the commander-in-chief saw the strong man who was protruding his head, he immediately stood up and said to the members, "Sit a few for a while, I'll come when I go," then turned his head and walked out of the manager's room, and went with the strong man in a squad.

The commander-in-chief's plainclothes team? Detective team?

Several members of the parliament looked at each other. Before the Qing Dynasty fell, the officials often went to teahouses and restaurants in plain clothes to sit in their seats. The purpose was not to catch thieves, but to catch the rioters. If someone was talking nonsense, these servants would take out chains to get people. This kind of servant had a name, called the "detective team", and the Beiyang side was called the "plainclothes team", which was of the same nature as the Dongchang men in the Ming Dynasty, and they were all like the upper hand and the minions that were fingered.

Just as several people were talking about the chaos, the commander-in-chief hurriedly walked back, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and then stuffed it into the pocket of the military uniform after entering the door. It looked like he was a little glorious.

As for the strong man, he didn't even enter the scripture room. He only heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and the person had already gone far away.

Several members of the parliament were sitting upright, so it would be better not to ask about the military secrets. No matter which one is a plainclothes team or a detective team, it has nothing to do with you.

Only Mr. Zhu Zhihong, who relied on his role as the Speaker and a member of the Tongmeng, plucked up his courage to ask.

"Master-in-chief, the man was wearing civilian uniforms and was able to enter here. I wonder what his identity is?"

When Zhao Bei heard Zhu Zhihong ask, he smiled faintly and said, "He is my subordinate, his surname is Jin. Although he is not a soldier, this job is related to military affairs. No one is outsider, and I don't hide it from you. In fact, he is my spy leader, who specializes in spying on the intelligence in the world.
