Chapter 23 Parting ways

"Dunchu, what do you think about this?" Yuan Shikai looked at Song Jiaoren and asked.

"President, I'm afraid it's not convenient for Jiaoren to answer this question." Song Jiaoren said with a faint smile.

"Haha, of course it's not convenient for you Song Dunchu to answer. Aren't those party members who caused trouble just your subordinates?" Liang Shiyi sneered.

"Yifu, please be careful what you say!" Yuan Shikai said displeased.

"President, as the Secretary-General of the Presidential Office, Shi Yi is responsible for his responsibilities. He cannot just watch the President being deceived! The party's intention to disrupt the country is clearly exposed. The President has been tolerant again and again. Why should he endure it now?

When?" With that said, Liang Shiyi turned to Song Jiaoren and asked: "Brother Dunchu is the chairman of KMT, and now everyone in your party is revolting in the south, despising the law and forcing the government, and treating the president as nothing. You still want to act recklessly.

He raised a sword with the intention of dividing the country. I dare to ask Brother Dunchu, how do you view this matter?"

"Yes, yes! Brother Dunchu, just tell me." Everyone asked. In fact, everyone was thinking about the same thing as Liang Shiyi. The situation is complicated now. Song Jiaoren plays an important role in KMT, except for the deceased Huang

Xingwai, he is the only one who can compete with Sun Wen. Now, his attitude is extremely critical. It can even be said that if Song Jiaoren does not make his position clear, both Yuan Shikai and Sun Wen will have concerns about what they do.

.

"A few days before Huang Keqiang's death, Jiaoren was invited to a banquet by Chen Qimei, Ying Guixin and others in Shanghai. During the banquet, they asked Jiaoren about it. Do you know anything?" Song Jiaoren thought for a moment and hesitated.

When he said these words slowly, everyone suddenly felt strange.

Seeing everyone present shaking their heads in confusion, Song Jiaoren said with a faint smile: "They once asked Jiaoren what the specific method would be to organize our party's cabinet if he went north to Beijing and became the Prime Minister. Jiaoren answered on the spot.

They said one thing - I, Song Jiaoren, have only one way to be a public servant without party!"

Song Jiaoren's words were so resounding that most of the people present were stunned. They had only heard about this today. Although they did not dare to confirm whether it was true or not, judging from Song Jiaoren's extremely serious tone, it should not be wrong. Again.

Recalling Song Jiaoren's consistent political opinions, especially his political views on the national system, he always disagreed with Sun Wen. He debated with Sun Wen many times over the concept of constitutionalism, and they quarreled with each other countless times. This is also the case.

As we all know, from this point of view, it is not surprising that Song Jiaoren has such an attitude.

Standing up, Song Jiaoren proudly said to Yuan Shikai and everyone: "Although the Republic of China was first established, the peace talks between the North and the South have been completed, the provisional agreement has been finalized, the Congress has been formally convened, and the Speakers of the House of Representatives and the Senate have been successfully elected. Therefore,

Whether it is legislation or supervision, although it is not perfect, it has an outline. Moreover, President Yuan Da and brother Zhi'an are the heads of state and government, and the ministers and deputy ministers also represent the responsibilities of various government agencies. Although Jiaoren is a director of kmt

Long, but Jiaoren has no selfish motives for national affairs, just like the saying of "the public has no party"! As long as everyone acts in accordance with the Constitution and the Congress passes it, no matter what! But if someone wants to have his own way, no matter who it is,

You can’t do whatever you want, this is Jiaoren’s attitude today!”

Song Jiaoren's words were like thunder on the ground, causing everyone's ears to buzz. He stood up proudly and bowed deeply to Yuan Shikai. Song Jiaoren said again: "Which one is right and which one is wrong? Where to go?"

, I think the president has already made up his mind. Jiaoren urges the president to uphold the concept of serving the country wholeheartedly, start from the overall situation, and deal with it properly. Now that the congressional election is approaching, and the date when the president is officially elected is not far away, Jiaoren is busy with government affairs.

Just say goodbye first!"

After speaking, Song Jiaoren turned and left. Yuan Shikai was about to call out to him, but in the end he hesitated and put down his raised hand, and gradually fell into deep thought.

After leaving the Presidential Palace, Song Jiaoren hurried back. In fact, they all opposed and discouraged Yuan Shikai, Liao Zhongkai, and Yu Youren from meeting today, but after careful consideration, Song Jiaoren came over. The current situation is complicated, as

The chairman of kmt must go to this appointment because he knows very well that peace between the north and the south is hard-won. Going north to the capital to get to this point is the result of mutual efforts. If he does not come forward to express his position today and deliberately avoids it, it is difficult to guarantee

What kind of trouble Yuan Shikai would do under the instigation of villains was not only for the sake of the overall constitutional government, but he also had two other considerations.

First, it is to warn Yuan Shikai and the people in the Beiyang faction not to think that they can do whatever they want with the military power, and to regard the Constitution and the Congress as nothing. If he insists on having his own way, Song Jiaoren will be the first to rise up against it. When the time comes, there will be trouble in the Congress, and the Northern and Southern Parties will

If people unite, Yuan Shikai will have to worry about it no matter how powerful he is.

Secondly, Song Jiaoren also expressed his attitude that no matter who the other party is or what party he is, he will never protect him. As long as Yuan Shikai can consider the overall situation and rely on him and the congressmen to start from the constitution and not engage in such foolish tricks as banning the Congress and expelling congressmen from all parties.

, Song Jiaoren will of course support the government.

This attitude was also decided after careful consideration before he came. Of course, there are other motives in it. How can there be only black and white in politics? He, Song Jiaoren, had long-term plans to balance and compete between Yuan Shikai and Sun Wen, and he was in a selfless position.

How can a nerd like Yu Youren understand how to play a very big game of chess at a high altitude?

After this period of time, Song Jiaoren's KMT has basically controlled the Congress, and his current status is actually not much lower than that of the official Prime Minister. It is just that he has not officially taken office for the time being. Let Zhao Bingjun stay in front for a few more days, Song

Jiaoren will be able to relax a lot in the future. What is important for him right now is to handle internal party affairs and firmly hold KMT in his own hands.

This matter has been started. Although the effect is not great for the time being, the progress is still gratifying. The happier Sun Wen and others dance now, the more beneficial it will be for Song Jiaoren to do this. Song Jiaoren personally signed it a few days ago

Fang Zida submitted a document stating that KMT members are no longer allowed to concurrently serve as members of other parties, and formally informed the party. This step is mainly to clean up the cross-party members in the party, making the huge and scattered KMT become more cohesive. Originally, this job was done

It is not easy, but the recent ups and downs of Sun Wen's Chinese Revolutionary Party gave Song Jiaoren an unexpected surprise. Some senior party members who were originally swinging back and forth between him and Sun Wen, because of Sun Wen's arrogance and self-confidence,

Da, actually wanted to force them to change their families by offering personal allegiance. Unexpectedly, these people were disgusted and officially defected to Song Jiaoren. There were not a few of these people, most of them were elites within the party. They gathered these people under their banner, and they were against Song Jiaoren.

It was a huge victory for Song Jiaoren.

There is another problem that Song Jiaoren also saw very clearly. In order to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, KMT accepted all the people who came under Sun Wen's instructions and accepted a large number of party members. It seems that although the whole KMT is powerful, its composition is chaotic. These people are often

They are some scum and hooligans who are despised by society. They actually have no revolutionary beliefs. Once they are in power, they will definitely harm the local area and make the people miserable. Those revolutionaries who were born in the Communist Party will carry out their orders as soon as they have power.

After all the chaos, the reborn but chaotic Republic of China was not as good as the decayed but stable Manchu Qing Dynasty. Most of the people making the most noise in the south are these guys. Take this opportunity to use Yuan Shikai's hand to clean out these black sheep, kmt party consolidation

The road will be completed seven or seven hundred and eighty-eight.

In fact, Yuan Shikai made arrangements as early as Sun Wen's first power supply, summoning Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Duan Zhigui, Li Chun, Wang Zhanyuan, Lei Zhenchun, Zhang Xun and others, and secretly mobilized various departments of the Beiyang Army along the Beijing-Hankow Line and

The Jinpu Line was divided into two routes, one with Hubei as the base and targeting Jiangxi and Hunan; the other with Xuzhou as the front line and the naval support of Tang Xiangming and Zheng Rucheng, deputy chief of the navy, targeting Anhui and Jiangsu.

It can be seen from this that Yuan Shikai was ready to use force against force. Calling Song Jiaoren to discuss was just to force him to express his attitude. Who would have thought that Song Jiaoren could see through his hidden agenda at a glance and directly expressed his intention.

The tough attitude made Yuan Shikai a little bit defensive. However, Yuan Shikai was also an unusual person. He also heard something different from Song Jiaoren's words. After Song Jiaoren left, he considered repeatedly vetoing the proposals of Liang Shiyi and others.

Immediately expelling KMT MPs, the army preemptively proposed, but made another choice.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yuan Shikai formally ordered Li Liejun to be removed from the post of governor of Jiangxi and appointed Li Yuanhong as concurrent governor of Jiangxi. He then formally submitted a presidential proposal on safeguarding national unity to Congress in an effort to gain the support of Congress and members of Congress.

The second revolution that Sun Wen shouted was a farce. Not only did Yuan Shikai's Beiyang faction become furious, but even Song Jiaoren and other KMT people also opposed it. As for the common people of the Republic of China below, they also did not understand and support it. From 1911

From 1913 to the beginning of 1913, the whole country was in turmoil. The Qing Dynasty, Beiyang, the Revolutionary Party, the New Army, the Hui Party... Several gangs and factions set up cannons and bombarded them randomly.

After a few days of peace and quiet, Sun Wen and others used the Huang Xing case and large loans as an excuse to blatantly go to war with the central government, which made the people who had always longed for peace and stability particularly disgusted.

.

After Li Liejun was dismissed from the post of Governor of Jiangxi in accordance with the law, there was a rare applause in the Congress. Even the famous reporter Xu Xuer, who had always opposed Yuan Shikai, wrote in the newspaper: "Today, Gou is plotting chaos for the Republic of China, that is,

It is to extirpate oneself from the country, and the crime will not be forgiven. That is to say, if the government does evil, the law and parliament should eventually be able to solve it, and there is no need to plan chaos to disturb the people. Therefore, the businessmen and the people are despised by the business people, and they understand

What made Sun Wen and others who were preparing to use force even more depressing was that Cai E, the governor of Yunnan, also made an unambiguous public statement at the time, shouting: "Whoever is the culprit is Qiu Yu. In case someone

Anyone who raises an issue should be treated as a public enemy of the country." slogan.

There are also many KMT bosses who hold the same opinions as Xu Xuer and Cai E. At this time, Song Jiaoren also fulfilled his promise to Yuan Shikai, not only instructing the Congress to pass the presidential proposal, clearly stating his attitude among the people, but also intensively

The official election of Yuan Shikai as the President of the Republic of China began, which also meant that the KMT headed by Song Jiaoren and the Chinese Revolutionary Party headed by Sun Wen had since drawn a clear line and parted ways.
