"Zhang Ming! Zhang Ming!"

Suddenly a shout came from the quiet courtyard. Fang Zida opened the window of the study and looked out, and he quickly greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, who am I? It turns out that Brother Xizi is here. What kind of wind brought you here?"

"Fang Zhangming, Fang Zhangming, if Lao Duan hadn't said you were back, I wouldn't have known." The folding fan in his hand nodded at Fang Zida, and Yang Du was very dissatisfied and said: "Since you are back in Beijing, why didn't you notify me? Hidden at home behind closed doors.

Thank you, this is not your style, Fang Zhangming."

Shaking his head with a smile, Fang Zida said: "I, Fang Zida, am now notorious in the streets. How can I dare to show my face? It's better to rest at home and hide in peace. Brother Xizi is not afraid of being with me, the leader of the blood droplets, and making mistakes.

name?"

"It's just the words of stupid people, what kind of blood drops? It's all nonsense!" Yang Du said disdainfully: "The stupid people in the world are spreading lies, which is not trustworthy. What's more, what is going on with you, Fang Zhangming, and I, Yang Du, still don't know? Let's go!

Let me drink!"

It has been several days since Fang Zida returned to the capital. During this time, he has been unable to leave his house and few people have come to visit him. Even in the KMT party, there are only a few such as Liao Zhongkai and Tang Shaoyi. Due to the newspaper's publicity, his presence in the capital has been reduced.

His "reputation" is indeed not very good. Those who used to have a relationship with him are now afraid to avoid him and stay away from him.

At this time, Yang Du actually showed his attitude and regarded himself as a friend. Fang Zida was a little touched in his heart.

"Drink, forget it."

"No! We finally saw each other today. You must drink this wine! Let's go!" Regardless of Fang Zida's refusal, Yang Du forced him to go out. Fang Zida couldn't laugh or cry and raised his hands in surrender: "Wait, no matter what, you have to let me

Why don't you change your clothes? How can you go out like this?"

Looking back, he saw that Fang Zida was only wearing home clothes. Yang Du, who was laughing, pushed him happily. After a while, Fang Zida, who had changed his clothes, followed Yang Du out and went to the restaurant.

The private room had been booked long ago, and the only guests were Yang Du and Fang Zida. They were all friends, and they were not polite to each other. They drank and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

While drinking, of course Yang Du would not miss the opportunity to ask Fang Zida about the situation in the south, and was especially interested in Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing. Fang Zida did not disappoint him, describing everything in detail. When the battle situation was tense,

Yang Du opened his eyes wide and exclaimed again and again, and he was so happy.

"So, the Battle of Nanjing was won by luck?"

"Yes!" Fang Zida didn't hide anything, nodded and admitted: "Zhang Xun's braided army is indeed very powerful, and the Eighth Division fought very hard. In fact, Zhang Xun's final retreat was not defeated by the Eighth Division, but by the Eighth Division.

In order to preserve our strength, we retreated voluntarily."

"Zhang Shaoxuan is a character! He can take it up and let it go!" Yang Du praised, and then smiled: "But you, Fang Zhangming, can make Zhang Shaoxuan suffer such a big loss, and you are even more of a character. Come on, let me toast you."

.”

Smiling and toasting together, Fang Zida asked: "Has Zhang Xun's braided army arrived in Shaanxi now? How is the fight with Bai Lang's army going?"

"Haha, the news about you not going out for a few days is out of date! Zhang Shaoxuan's troops did not go to the northwest, so Lu Langzhai was replaced."

"Lu Jianzhang?" Fang Zida was stunned. Didn't Duan Qirui say to transfer Zhang Xun? Why was there a sudden change? He looked at Yang Du with doubtful eyes.

"You and I don't know what kind of person Zhang Shaoxuan is? Originally, the Ministry of War wanted him to suppress the rebellion, but on the grounds that the losses were too great, he reached out to the central government for guns and pay, and even asked for fifteen more

The establishment of the battalion.”

"What! Fifteen battalions?" Fang Zida was surprised when he heard this. Zhang Xun's appetite was too big, and he actually opened his mouth with so many numbers. No wonder the Ministry of War later changed the order and replaced Lu Jianzhang to fight the rebellion.

Looking at Fang Zida who was thoughtful, Yang Du said with a smile: "So I say, Zhang Shaoxuan is a person. Unfortunately, this person is short-sighted and cannot be used in a big way. He can do it in a small way, but he will never be able to do it in this big climate."

Regarding Yang Du's comments about Zhang Xun, Fang Zida deeply agreed. Zhang Xun did not understand the general trend. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he remained loyal to the old dynasty. He refused to shave his head and became a unique school. He only knew how to preserve his strength and occupy territory, and he was unruly.

Tame. Although such a character can be romantic for a while, it will never last long.

"Zhang Ming, I heard that you have been writing at home recently? I wonder what you are writing about?" Yang Du suddenly asked with a smile after taking a sip of wine.

"Brother Xizi, are you asking for help?" Fang Zida asked, looking at him with a smile.

"Yes and no." Yang Du said straightforwardly: "Yesterday I happened to meet Lao Duan at the Presidential Palace. He said that you were back and you were writing something behind closed doors. It was said to be related to the political situation. The president happened to be present at the time.

, I was very interested after hearing this, and of course, I, Yang Du, am even more curious, I wonder if Brother Zhangming has any insights that you can tell me?"

"Hahaha, I knew it was no good if you forced me to drink. Look, the fox's tail is exposed, right?" Fang Zida pointed at Yang Du and laughed. Yang Du also looked at him with a smile and shook his folding fan a little.

None of them looked worried.

"Actually, there is nothing confidential about this, it's just some thoughts." Anyway, Dongfang Zida didn't want to hide anything from anyone. Since Yang Du asked about it, he simply said: "Since returning to the country, including this time going south, what I have seen and heard

I feel quite a bit in my heart, and I really feel uncomfortable saying some things, so I plan to sort them out and write something out, which can be regarded as some suggestions for the country."

"Oh, what are those specifically?" Yang Du asked with interest.

"There are many, and they haven't been written yet. It may take some time to revise them. But in general, there are three major aspects." Fang Zida said with his fingers crossed: "One; economy. The economic structure of the Republic of China is mainly based on agriculture.

, but land annexation is serious, and many farmers have lost their land. In addition, agricultural taxes account for a large part of the central government's finance, which has caused hardship to the grassroots people. This is a big problem. If it cannot be changed, once there is a natural disaster, social unrest will be inevitable.

…….”

Fang Zida carefully talked about rural issues, borrowing some Marx's theories and analyzing the consequences of class antagonism based on China's current actual situation. In addition, it extended from agriculture to industry and commerce, starting with the Westernization Movement in the Qing Dynasty and continuing to

Talking about national capital, foreign capital, the comprador class, etc. in the late Qing Dynasty, it was finally proposed to vigorously develop industry and commerce, reduce the proportion of agricultural taxes in national revenue, and guide landlords from land to commercial capital to reduce the burden on farmers.

As Fang Zida explained, Yang Du, who was originally smiling, gradually became serious. He listened attentively, nodding his head secretly in agreement from time to time. For a scholar like Yang Du who had both served as an official in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and had gone abroad, although he was not very

Understanding the situation at the lowest level of society does not mean that he has no discernment. Many of what Fang Zida said are very true. There are some things that Yang Du has even felt and considered, but has never been able to think about it carefully or come up with a system.

method. Fang Zida's description made him feel bright and he couldn't help but applaud.

"What about the second one?" After Fang Zida finished explaining the first one, Yang Du couldn't wait to ask.

"The second is the national political system." Fang Zida looked up at him and said unhurriedly: "Although the constitutional system of the President, Premier Song, and Congress has been established, the national political system is not perfect, especially the constitution and civil law.

, criminal law, etc. In addition, there are various systems, such as supervision systems, review systems, etc., which all need to be supplemented step by step. The most worrying thing is that nowadays, there is no separation between military and civilian affairs, which is a national taboo!

The governorship system in each province must be abolished as soon as possible and the military and civilians should be separated, so that long-term peace and stability can be achieved."

"This... I'm afraid it won't be easy, right?" Yang Du frowned and shook his head. The constitution and so on mentioned by Fang Zida are easy to handle, but what about the separation of military and civilian affairs? Isn't this touching the tiger's butt? Now bring it with you

A soldier with a gun is a grass-headed king. Didn't even Yuan Shikai ascend to the throne of president by relying on the strength of Beiyang in his hands? Want to hand over the barrel of the gun? Who is willing to agree? Fang Zida's thinking is too simple.

Without explaining, Fang Zida directly said the third point, which is the most critical point.

“Nationalization of the military?”

"Yes! It's the nationalization of the army!" Fang Zida nodded: "Today's army is nominally under the banner of the country, but in reality it is an army belonging to one faction and one party. It is simply selling dog meat with sheep's heads. Not to mention,

Let’s talk about the recent ones. What kind of uprising did the Revolutionary Party stage in the south? Why were they able to raise troops to riot? Wasn’t it that those troops didn’t listen to the orders of the central government at all, but only obeyed the orders of a certain party? In addition, why did Zhang Xun attack without permission without obeying the order?

Jiangsu? Now the following criminals refuse to obey the orders, and they are blackmailing the central government in the name of asking for soldiers, pay, and numbers? To put it bluntly, what are these armies? Outright warlords! Brother Xizi is familiar with history books. He should know the harm warlords do to the country.

How old is it? The fall of the powerful Tang Dynasty, the late Ming Dynasty, and even the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which one was not due to warlords?"

Fang Zida's words left Yang Du speechless. Fang Zida said it well. Yang Du knew the harmfulness of warlords very well. It can even be said that Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army was the largest warlord. Otherwise, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not be buried under Yuan Shikai.

However, what is the purpose of Fang Zida's nationalization of the army? Does he want to replace the Beiyang Army with the KMT army? Yang Du couldn't help but be wary.

"If the army is nationalized, what will happen to your party's army? For example, the Eighth Division?"

"Haha, what else can we do? Just do whatever you have to do! No matter who's army is exception!" Fang Zida said decisively. Yang Du was surprised and happy in his heart. He looked at Fang Zida without making a sound for a long time, wondering what these words meant.

Not what he really thinks?
