Chapter 548 Destroy the old and build the new
Mibei did not agree to allow Li Kanghong to take over as the leader of the United Front. The other two mountain airlines guessed the double pair of opinions.
As soon as Liu Yuan saw everyone's expressions, he immediately came to his senses, so he nodded again and again, and said, "Li Songqing's appeal is indeed insufficient. So. How is Tang Jiwu? He was born in the Constitutionalists and later joined the revolution, and his brother Tang Xiangming was also the chief of the navy, and if Tang Jiwu was nominated to take over the post of chairman of the National Committee, at least the constitutionalists in the United Front would not object. ”
Xiong Chengji shook his head and said, "Tang Hualong is not appropriate. This one. He had an ambiguous relationship with the National League, and had always adhered to a reformist position, and he was not interested in revolution. ”
"Ajine, now that the revolution has succeeded, of course it is best to reform the policy." Liu Tieyi disagreed with Xiong Chengji's opinion.
"That's not right! The revolution has not yet succeeded. If nothing else, let's talk about the conservative forces in the countryside. You may not have seriously studied the rural issue, but I have studied it, and if you talk to the clan forces and the Zhuzhong forces that have ruled the countryside for thousands of years, it will not work, and only revolution can transform the country, and only revolution can eliminate all conservative forces that block the pace of civilization! If there is no foreign competition, we may be able to adopt the method of reform, but now, since the foreign country has put the knife in our throat, it is afraid that reform alone will not be able to completely save the country. ”
Xiong Chengji was uncompromising, and immediately pointed out Liu Zhiyi's wrong view, which made Zhao Bei on the side very emotional. In Zhao Bei's view, this Xiong Chengji really saw where China's fundamental problem lies, and if the rural problem is not solved, China's industrialization construction will be to pull out the seedlings and help it grow, and the confidence is insufficient, but if it wants to completely solve the rural problem, it cannot be achieved only by "continuing the revolution", which requires time. The international trend is more needed, and before this opportunity and the international trend comes. "Improvement" is perhaps the safest approach.
But then again, Zhao Bei also did not agree with Tang Hualong to take over as the leader of the United Front, because he was very distrustful of that person. Although that person was very tame to Chairman Zhao from the beginning, in Zhao Bei's opinion. That person is too "slippery", and he is not even as "kind" as Li Yuanhong. Zhao Bei has never dared to reuse.
Therefore, Zhao Bei also came up with his opinion.
"Although Tang Jiwu has some popularity, in my opinion, his popularity is not enough to guarantee a high vote to pass the confidence vote. Therefore, this person can be an alternate, but not a first-person nomination. Ladies and gentlemen, don't just recommend others, you can also nominate yourself. ”
When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads, Xiong Chengji offended a large number of people for the rectification of party affairs, and his popularity was probably not as high as Li Yuanhong, plus he was also young, and he was not as successful as Zhao Bei. He definitely can't be the chairman, as for Liu Yuanyi. Because he was involved in the founding of the Communist Association. However, on the Hunan issue, the Communist Party has offended the Republican Army, and in the eyes of the Republican Army-born party members, he Liu Yuanyi is also an outlier, and it is naturally impossible to support him as the chairman, so the only remaining candidates seem to be Mr. Cai Yuanpei, but General Cai is now in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Education, and he is also a senior government official, if Zhao Bei has to resign as chairman because he is the president. Then it is naturally inconvenient for President Cai to hold two positions. Either the Ministry of Education, or the United Front, the two can only choose one, then, Chief Cai will not hesitate to choose the former, in his view, education is the foundation of a strong country, can not be sacrificed.
And so it goes. The three of them did not dare to recommend themselves, and in the end, Zhao Bei proposed another candidate.
"Since you are making Xian, then I recommend one more person, although this person is not as good as Huang Keqiang to control the scene, but this person has a high expectation, and he will come forward to unite the united front. Seems more appropriate. This person is now serving as a member of the Diet, and although he is a member of the United Front, he is not a member of the General Affairs Committee, but is none other than Mr. Zhang Taiyan, one of the former leaders of the Liberation Society. ”
As soon as this person was nominated, everyone was stunned at first, and then nodded one after another. If nothing else, it is because this Mr. Zhang Taiyan has a very high reputation, and he is also a member of the United Front, so the conditions in all respects are more suitable for participating in the competition for the leader of the United Front. However, after nodding, everyone shook their heads again, and they still thought it was not suitable for this chairman of the committee.
Zhang Taiyan, the word uncle, the name Binglin, Hangzhou people's name, "Taiyan" is his number, this person has read a lot of books since childhood. Knowledgeable, especially for Chinese studies is very experienced, but there is not much interest in the imperial examination, after the First Sino-Japanese War, Kang Youwei, Liang Qi and others advocated to improve the law, Zhang Taiyan also participated in it. and participated in the strong society founded by Kang Youwei, but later because he was dissatisfied with Kang Youwei's creation of "Confucianism" and called himself "the leader" and parted ways with Kang Youwei, returned to Hangzhou and founded the "Xingxi Society" to continue to advocate the reform of the law, and then was invited by Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, to go to Hubei to found the "Zheng Journal", but fell out with Zhang Zhidong in less than a month. He left Han angrily, and later served as the chief writer of the newspaper in Shanghai. He continued to advocate reformism and reform, but soon after, the "Reform of the Army" failed. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Qing court, Zhang Taiyan had to hide in the Japanese-occupied Taiwan. The following year, at the invitation of Liang Qi, he went to Tokyo, Japan, where he met Sun. Mr. Wen lived in Japan for two years when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China. Zhang Taiyan broke his ambition to show a complete break with the Qing court, and after returning to China, he taught at Soochow College in Suzhou. Publicly preaching the anti-Qing revolution, which attracted the attention of Enming, the governor of Jiangsu at the time, did not flee to Japan, and met more revolutionaries there" In the milk year, Zhang Taiyan returned to Shanghai, wrote articles for the "Su Bao" with Burong and others in the concession, advocating the anti-Qing revolution, and was arrested by the concession authorities and imprisoned for three years, which is the so-called "Su report" Zhang Taiyan is also famous all over the world.
Famous people, naturally some people will go to the close, therefore, although Zhang Taiyan was still studying Buddhism in the concession prison when the Liberation Society was founded, he was still on the list of the main leaders of the revolutionary organization. In the following year, Zhang Taiyan was released from prison, and Mr. Sun, the leader of the League, sent people from Tokyo to bring this world-famous revolutionary instigator to Japan, so the leader of the Liberation Society joined the League. and used the pen as a gun, continued to call for the anti-Qing revolution, and refuted Liang Qi's constitutional theory, but not long after, because of the matter of newspaper funds, Zhang Taiyan broke with Mr. Sun, the leader of the League, so he negotiated with Tao Chengzhang to reorganize the Restoration Society, but did not wait for the official announcement of the reorganization of the Restoration Society. The Anqing uprising exploded, and then there was the vigorous "Wushen."
And so. The Liberation Society quickly announced its reorganization, and the Liberation Society finally came out. compare
But the Liberation Society will be able to come forward. It does not mean that the leaders of the Liberation Society can also come forward, first Tao Chengzhang was assassinated, and then the formation of the United Front, and the "revolutionary vanguard" Zhao Bei became the leader of the United Front. Not only became the leader of the League, but also became the leader of the Restoration Society, so Zhang Taiyan retired gloomily, and lived in seclusion in the downtown with the title of party councilor, and continued to study Buddhism until the United Front came to power and took control of the Congress, he was invited out of the mountain and served as a senior senator in the Congress.
This person has a stubborn personality and doesn't know what to do, no matter what kind of big person the other party is, as long as he doesn't have his mind, he will scold. Scolding with his wonderful pen that is enough to produce flowers, he does not show mercy to the other party at all, just like the Mi Heng who beat the drum and scolded Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, so people gave him the nickname "Mi Heng of the Republic of China." When he scolded Xing, he even scolded Yuan Shikai, Zhao Bei, Huang Xing, Sun Wen, Li Yuanhong, and Tang Hualong, but perhaps because of his literary reputation, he was scolded until now, and he was still doing his senior senator in the Congress, and this fame was also getting bigger and bigger, and various newspapers also invited him with a lot of money. Ask him to write a commentary on current affairs.
Such a thing. People, now that Zhao Bei, the president of the Republic of China, has been nominated as the candidate for the leader of the United Front, it can be imagined that Xiong Chengji, Cai Yuanpei, and Liu Pengyi are in a mood.
On the one hand, they believe that if we only look at the popularity and fame, Zhang Taiyan is undoubtedly qualified to participate in the competition for the chairmanship of the NPC National Committee, because there are many members of the current National Assembly who only look at the size of their fame when evaluating political figures, not their ability to govern the country, which is the same as praising the famous actors of Peking Opera. The more famous, the more people will cheer. Therefore, Zhang Taiyan has the opportunity to become the leader of the United Front.
But on the other hand. Is it possible for such a figure, who is scolded by everyone, to unite the United Front? Others don't say. Even Li Yuanhong, Tang Hualong and others, who were scolded by him, how could they be convinced?
So, after nodding his head. Everyone shook their heads without exception. They did not understand Zhao Bei's sudden nomination of Zhang Taiyan as the leader of the United Front.
Indeed, the best candidate to take over as party leader is Huang Xing, but since Huang Xing's health is not good, Zhang Taiyan has become a more suitable candidate, especially after he once scolded President Zhao Da in the newspaper. Zhao Bei nominated this person again, which gives people the impression that the president is humble and does not avoid hatred, which helps to improve the prestige of the president.
Of course, the reason why Zhao Bei made a high posture and took the initiative to abdicate to make way for Xian is indeed hidden behind this
Machine.
It has been more than two years since the United Front was established and more than two years since it held central power, because it has no qualified competitors. The revolution had declined considerably, and at the same time, the contradictions within the united front were gradually exposed. And it is becoming more and more intensified, and the recent turmoil in Outer Mongolia has further aggravated the intensification of this contradiction, so at present, although Cheng Ji and others are struggling to support this ship of the united front. However, the trend of this ship falling apart has become more and more obvious, not to mention others, let's just say that the member Liu Yuanyi in front of him is now a frequent visitor in some political clubs, and according to the reliable information received by Zhao Bei, that Sun Wu in Yunnan is now in full swing to reorganize some of the former backbone cadres of the Communist Association, and it seems that he is also planning to organize a new political group, and Liu Pengyi is the key target of Sun Wu's wooing.
From this point of view, it is indeed necessary to take resolute measures to further rectify the united front, and this rectification will not be a petty fight like Xiong Chengji's previous one, and this "rectification of party affairs" will be a storm, once the storm is over. The hills and hills of the United Front will be completely flattened and merged with the Political Propaganda Council. This political alliance will be completely transformed into a political organization with strong fighting power and strong convictions, and its purpose of existence will no longer be "to occupy the Congress." Rather, it is to "transform the country" and transform the face of the country under the leadership of the "political leader."
As you can imagine. This will be a vigorous rectification of party affairs, and those who preside over the rectification will inevitably bear all kinds of attacks. As the president, a national yuan, Zhao Bei will never allow himself to fall into this kind of political attack, he needs to find a shield to resist the attack for him, and then, hide behind and plan everything.
In other words. Zhao Bei's aim was to take the initiative before the United Front disintegrated automatically, to complete the transformation of this political bloc with his own hands, and to use a new political bloc to take over the political legacy of the United Front in its entirety.
At the beginning, Song Jiaoren "destroyed the old and established the new." "Ended the history of the Moon Alliance and the Restoration Society, and now, Zhao Bei is also doing the same thing, the same is "destroying the old and establishing the new", but it is completely different.
Although he resigned from the post of chairman of the committee, it did not mean that Zhao Bei could not interfere in the party affairs of the United Front. This is where the role of Xiong Chengji, the party secretary, is embodied, and this young man with strong revolutionary convictions will carry out a drastic transformation of the united front with the support of the president of the Republic of China, which is in line with his belief. It is also in the interests of the president, and no one else can control it. There is no power to dare to manage, because Zhao Bei is the president.
Of course, this "party affairs consolidation" will not start immediately, it will take a period of preparation, and you must wait for the right opportunity, after all, Zhao Bei asked Yang Du to go to Jiangsu not to set up a factory.
Cai Yuanpei and Liu Changyi couldn't guess the president's thoughts, and even Xiong Chengji was temporarily kept in the dark, not knowing what Zhao Bei planned to do, so the office was a little cold for a while.
Seeing that several people did not speak. Zhao Bei smiled faintly, stood up, and looked at the time, it was already one o'clock in the morning.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's getting late. Tomorrow there will be a high-level formal meeting with the German government delegation, so let's go back and take a break, and as for the chairman of the United Front committee, we will discuss it in detail in a few days. By the way, Ajine, if you come back tomorrow night, I have a few words for you
Zhao Bei specially told Xiong Chengji, and then announced the dismissal of the meeting, and only after everyone left, did he return to the bedroom.
Cui Xuan has not yet fallen asleep. Seeing Zhao Bei enter the bedroom, he hurriedly put on his nightgown and warmed a cup of beef for him
。
Hold the milk. Holding his shy and lovely wife, Zhao Bei yawned contentedly, the political arena is sinister, and perhaps only this room is the only place where he can sleep peacefully.
