Years of the Republic of China 1913

With the efforts of Song Jiaoren and others, the uproar in Beijing and China was gradually suppressed. Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shikai also listened to Song Jiaoren's proposal, and went to the Congress to make a speech on the big loan in front of all the members. In self-defense, the three main members of the loan negotiating team were present together: the current Prime Minister Zhao, Foreign Minister Lu and Chief Zhou.

Yuan Shikai was also very humble during his visit to the Congress. He went to various lounges early in the morning to shake hands and greet members of Congress, chatting with each other, and his image was extremely friendly.After the official start, the cabinet members first explained the big loan issue, and then Yuan Shikai made a formal speech. He said nothing less than the current domestic and foreign affairs, finance and finance, etc., which is more reasonable and eloquent than what Premier Zhao Bingjun said , Hearing the members of Congress below also nod frequently.After Yuan Shikai finished his speech, Lin Sen spoke on behalf of all members of the Congress, expressing that the members would sincerely help the President to stabilize the situation and build the country.Yuan Shikai then bowed to the members of the audience to express his gratitude and hoped that everyone would understand the government's difficulties.Members of Parliament also collectively bowed in return, and the atmosphere at the scene was extremely harmonious.Although there are still a few people who still feel uncomfortable about the big loan, but under such circumstances, at least they stopped pointing at Yuan Shikai and cursing.

Of course, there are also some congressmen who don't listen to any explanation from the government at all. Perhaps for some purpose, or because they have some intentions, they are still determined to say a traitor when they leave the gate of the Congress, and they have the potential to question Yuan Shikai and the government. Potential.However, these people are only a small number of people. When the vast majority of people reach a consensus for the time being, the stalled process of the Congress can finally continue. But when Song Jiaoren and others, even Yuan Shikai and the current government are secretly When he breathed a sigh of relief, who would have thought that the south side would become noisy again.

Sun Wen was the first to turn on the telegram in Japan, scolded Yuan Shikai severely, and then incidentally scolded Song Jiaoren and others.What was said in the telegram, "We must oppose the determination of the monarch, against Yuan Shikai, against the current government, against the rebels who turned to dictatorship, and against large loans. He, Sun Wenyi, has no hesitation!"

As soon as Sun Wen’s telegram came out, the southern provinces were also ready to move, scrambling to respond to the telegrams to express their support. Among them, Chen Qimei from Shanghai, Li Liejun from Jiangxi, Bai Wenwei from Anhui, Hu Hanmin from Guangdong..., what’s more, Sun Wen also mentioned the Huang Xing incident some time ago, and formally shouted the slogan of solving it by force and revolution again.

"Damn it! The old man has seen through it. People like Sun Wen are making trouble on the left and right! They have no other skills other than making trouble. He is determined to fight against the old man!" Yuan Shikai was furious when he saw the contents of the telegram. He was so angry that he even smashed his beloved blue and white teacup.

"President calm down, don't get angry." Xia Shoutian, Yang Du and others hurriedly persuaded him.

"Calm your anger, calm your anger... this old man is not a fool!" Yuan Shikai gritted his teeth and kicked his feet, and said fiercely: "If Sun Dapao dares to use guns and cannons, or organize another government, this old man will send troops to conquer him, and there is absolutely no room for condoning traitors! "

"What did Sun Wen rely on? Isn't he relying on those party members? President, I have long said that the opposition parties are unreliable. In my opinion, now that the money is in hand and the finances are safe, we simply don't do anything. , Drive all those party members in the Congress out of the capital! With the strength of Beiyang under the President, can't we deal with these chaotic parties in the south?" Liang Shiyi fanned the flames, fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

"The president must not!" Yang Du was taken aback immediately, and quickly dissuaded him: "Sun Wen's disturbance has nothing to do with the party members. Have you forgotten Song Dunchu's support for you a while ago? If it wasn't for Song Despite the efforts of the primary party members, how can the accusations of the members of Congress on the matter of the big borrowing be appeased so easily? Now, most of the members of the Congress have already understood the difficulties of the big president, and the best policy is to appease the president, which must not be the case Add fuel to the fire!"

Liang Shiyi had always been at odds with Yang Du, and he even dismissed it when he heard this: "Huh! A woman's opinion! The harm of cliques has existed since ancient times. Sun Wen and Song Dunchu pretended to have different political opinions, but they were actually the same breed. It's similar to the red face and white face sung on the stage. Don't look at Song Dunchu's close cooperation with the president, once he is in power and echoes with the southern partisans, I'm afraid the country will... "

"Nonsense!" Yang Du became angry at the side, pointing at Liang Shiyi's nose and yelling: "Liang Yansun! What's your intention? Do you want to set the president on fire?"

"Enough!" Seeing that the two confidantes were about to quarrel, Yuan Shikai slapped the table heavily.

"This old man has his own decision! You go back first..."

"President..." Liang and Yang wanted to tell each other apart, but Yuan Shikai waved his hand feebly, then gave each other a hard look, and left separately.

He put his middle finger on the edge of the table and tapped lightly. After a while, Yuan Shikai raised his eyebrows and said to Xia Shoutian who had been silent all this time: "Gengfu, go and invite Zhiquan and Hua Pu, and send a telegram to Brother Ju, asking him to immediately Go to Beijing to discuss matters. Also...send someone to inform Dunchu, please come to the old man tomorrow, and say that the old man wants to treat him to dinner."

At the same time, Song Jiaoren's side was not quiet, the room was full of people, Song Jiaoren sitting at the head frowned, holding the same telegram in his hand.

"Dunchu, I still need you to make up your mind." Liao Zhongkai said with a worried expression, and everyone present also looked at Song Jiaoren who had been silent all this time.

"How do you make up your mind? This matter has just subsided, and now Yixian is making a fuss, what should I do?" Song Jiaoren smiled helplessly.

Everyone sighed at the same time in their hearts, this idea is really difficult to take.Sun Wen switched on the telegram, and the situation that was finally calmed down suddenly became complicated. Song Jiaoren is now in a dilemma, and it is really unreasonable for him to express his position immediately.

After sitting silently for a long time, Song Jiaoren didn't think of any good solution, until someone brought Yuan Shikai's message and invited him to a banquet at the mansion tomorrow, and then Song Jiaoren said: "It's a very important matter, please calm down for now. Fortunately, everyone in Beijing, please ask Lin Gong and Zhong Kai to contact Hu Zhantang and others at the telegraph office, and ask them to exercise restraint as much as possible, and put the overall situation first.”

"This... good..."

After everyone left, Song Jiaoren stood up worriedly, walked out of the house and walked slowly in the garden, accompanied by Tang Shaoyi, the two of them didn't say anything, and walked all the way to the gazebo.

"Brother Shaochuan, what do you think of Fang Zhangming?"

"Fang Zhangming is a man of real talent and learning, but to be honest, I have always been a bit ignorant of him." Tang Shaoyi and Song Jiaoren are close friends, and they speak straightforwardly in private without hiding it.

Song Jiaoren nodded slightly: "I feel the same way. Although I know him earlier than brother Shaochuan, I don't really know much about him. However, after going through a few things, I found that this person really has practical knowledge in his chest. Things got a little more impulsive...." After thinking for a while, Song Jiaoren asked again: "Brother Shaochuan, is Fang Zhangming worthy of a big job?"

"Brother Dunchu means...?"

"I plan to set up a new department within the party, mainly responsible for party affairs and some organizational work." Song Jiaoren said lightly.

"Party affairs? Could it be that Brother Dunchu wants Fang Chang to make it clear..." Tang Shaoyi asked in surprise.

Song Jiaoren nodded: "Yes, since Fang Zhangming is talented, it would be a bit humiliating just to be my assistant, and brother Chuan is also aware of the current situation in our party. Although Jiaoren is in charge of party affairs as the acting chairman, In fact, it is just a role of standing on the stage and shouting. Although our party is now known as the largest party in the Republic of China, if those cross-party people are removed, there are not many truly pure party members, not to mention the time since our party was established. Not long, Xingzhonghui, Huaxinghui, Guangfuhui and other systems, various factions in our kmt party are numerous, and the cohesion is extremely poor. These will affect the healthy development of our party in the future, and even affect the next constitutional policy , so after thinking twice, I am going to let Fang Zhangming shoulder this burden."

After understanding Song Jiaoren's thoughts, Tang Shaoyi agreed, but he was worried: "Is Fang Zhangming's qualifications a bit younger?"

"A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. It's just right for him to do some things!" Song Jiaoren smiled meaningfully, and Tang Shaoyi was slightly taken aback and immediately laughed too.

"Have you thought about the name of the new department, Brother Dunchu?" Seeing Song Jiaoren shaking his head slowly, Tang Shaoyi thought for a while and said, "This department mainly focuses on party affairs, and the more important thing is to do a good job in organizing party members within the party. Is it the Organization Department?"

"This name is not good. The name of the Organization Department is too eye-catching and not suitable for carrying out work." Song Jiaoren rejected the name without much consideration.

"This... the Party Affairs Department? The Work Department? Not good, the Rectification Department? This is even more inappropriate... Eh! Yes!" Tang Shaoyi pondered for a long time, put his palms together and smiled: "Didn't Fang Changming give a class to Mr. Lin and the others a few days ago?" International Accounting Principles class? There was a statistical concept mentioned in the talk, how about this new department be called the Party Statistics Department first?"

"Statistics Department within the party?" Song Jiaoren thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "The word "statistics" is not bad, but the term "department" is still too big. In order to avoid objections from some people in the party, I think it will be renamed the party. For the internal statistics team, Fang Zhangming will be the team leader, and the specific personnel will be arranged separately."

"Okay! Let's do it this way!" Tang Shaoyi agreed, and then Song Jiaoren proposed to hold a meeting of the party's directors and councilors in the near future to gather the directors and councilors of KMT in Beijing to determine this matter as soon as possible, and Fang Zhangming should attend the meeting together.

"Fang Zhangming is just an ordinary party member now, would it be inappropriate to attend a meeting of this size?" Tang Shaoyi asked suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter!" Song Jiaoren waved his hand indifferently: "We can have an enlarged meeting, and Fang Zhangming can be expanded!"
