Chapter 604: The President Changes
readx; As for the candidate for the next president, although Chen Jingyun did not say it to outsiders, he had already decided in his heart, that is, Anwarin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Anwarin has been standing firmly with him since the Fuzhou Uprising, and he is also the vice chairman of the National Socialist Party, and the outside world has always regarded Anwarin as a potential successor to Chen Jingyun. Even Anwarin himself thought so in the early years, when he was the first president of the Government Council, he just thought that after Chen Jingyun's two terms of president expired, he would have to sit on the throne of the presidency once.
Compared with Anhualin, the other Zheng Zuyin and Tang Shaoyi are somewhat lacking, although Zheng Zuyin's qualifications are enough, but he turned out to be a member of the National Progressive Association, although he has been led by Chen Jingyun all these years, but it was forced by the situation, Chen Jingyun did not believe that Zheng Zuyin was sincere and willing in his heart.
And Tang Shaoyi is even worse, the reason why he was able to sit in the post of president of the Government Council back then was entirely because Chen Jingyun wanted to find a weak person to balance the internal factions and avoid having too strong the president of the Government Council in the political axe and affect his governance.
However, now Anwarin has tactfully told himself that he does not plan to run for the next president, which makes Chen Jingyun a little disappointed.
In fact, Anwarin does not want to be the president, although his health is poor, it is not the main reason why he refuses the position of president. The main reason why he turned down the presidency was that he didn't want to be a puppet president!
Although outsiders still can't see it clearly, Anwarin has clearly seen Chen Jingyun's arrangement, judging from Chen Jingyun's previous large-scale purge, this does not seem to be a sign of giving up his rights at all, and Chen Jingyun has not revealed that he wants to resign from the two positions of party chairman and chairman of the State Military Commission, and Chen Jingyun's purpose of continuing to control the political axe behind his back is very obvious.
With Chen Jingyun standing behind him, it is doomed that this president is just a puppet, and he is also a president who does not even have the slightest freedom of speech. He Anwarin doesn't want to be a puppet, although he was under Chen Jingyun before, whether it was the Minister of Finance or the President of the Government Council, he belonged to the powerful faction, not a puppet.
Although he has retired from the post of president of the Government Council, he does not want to be a puppet for five years for the sake of a false name of the president.
In addition, more importantly, this presidential puppet is not so easy to do, if there is any conflict with Chen Jingyun during his tenure, it will be a big deal. Therefore, Anwarin is willing to retire from the position of president of the Government Council and retire with peace of mind and continue to be his patriarch, so that he will not lose his power and prestige, and he can continue to contribute to the family, without being angry or angering Chen Jingyun.
Anwarin doesn't want to be this puppet president, but others want to, such as Zheng Zuyin, he has accompanied Chen Jingyun as vice president for two consecutive terms and tenths, so this time when Chen Jingyun no longer continues to run for president, he Zheng Zuyin is already planning how to gain Chen Jingyun's trust and become this president.
Another example is Tang Shaoyi, who is also thinking about what it is like to be president.
However, what they think is not important, what matters is what Chen Jingyun thinks.
The second half of 1924 was not as turbulent as the first half of the year, but was spent extremely peacefully, and from October, the third National Assembly began to hold elections, and it was said that it was an election, but now there is only one National Socialist Party left in China, and in fact the National Assembly election has become a decoration, and more importantly, the Fourth Party Congress of the National Socialist Party itself.
In November, the Fourth Party Congress of the Kuomintang was successfully convened, Chen Jingyun was once again elected chairman of the Kuomintang without any suspense, Zheng Zuyin, who had newly joined the Kuomintang Socialist Party, was elected vice chairman, and Qian Hanlang continued to hold the post of secretary general of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang Socialist Party
The power structure of the National Socialist Party itself did not change much, and when the Fourth Congress of the National Socialist Party came to an end, the Third National Assembly also successfully completed the elections, and all the members of the National Assembly were members of the National Socialist Party, except for a dozen or so non-party figures who were embellished. In fact, this parliamentary election is no longer a contest between the National Socialist Party and other parties, but a contest between factions within the National Socialist Party.
On December 23, the eve of Christmas in the West, the third congress voted on the first proposal, nominating Chen Jingyun for the post of chairman of the National Military Council. The result of the vote was unanimous and unanimously, not to mention against it, and there was no abstention.
Shut down
On December 26, the third session of the National Assembly held a vote for the third president, and the candidates were Zheng Zuyin, Tang Shaoyi, and Zhuang Nan, and the subsequent voting results were that Zheng Zuyin received 60 percent of the votes, Tang Shaoyi received 31 percent of the votes, and Zhuang Nan, who was relatively young in seniority and age, only received about 8 percent of the votes.
Zheng Zuyin successfully became the third president of the Republic of China, and Anwaram was elected vice president. If the third president is a puppet, then this vice president is completely a false position, which Chen Jingyun specially used to comfort Anwarin, although Anwarin does not plan to be president, but it is okay to give him a false vice president, anyway, the vice president does not have to do anything, and it is okay to recuperate in the hospital every day.
Subsequently, Zheng Zuyin submitted the list of the new cabinet to the National Assembly and it was approved, the new president of the Government Council is Zhuang Nan, the chief minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs is Cen Chunxuan, the chief minister of finance is Ma Yinchu, the general minister of foreign affairs is Shi Zhaoji, the chief minister of transportation is Ye Gongqiu, the general minister of industry and commerce is Zhou Xuexi, and the general minister of education is Lin Changming.
In this cabinet list, people can see some management offices, that is, the previous Minister of Finance Zhuang Nan became the president of the Government Council, such an example is comparable to the previous Anwarin first became the Minister of Finance, and then the President of the Government Council, and this makes people pay more attention to Ma Yinchu, the new Minister of Finance, if nothing else, five or ten years later, he should be able to climb to the position of President of the Government Council.
On January 1, 1925, Chen Jingyun officially completed the handover of the presidency with Zheng Zuyin, and the family moved out of the presidential palace, and Chen Jingyun's residence had already been prepared, that is, the newly built Chen Mansion on the west side of the presidential palace.
Chen Jingyun's private property is immeasurable, so he doesn't need to pay for the construction of this private house, he paid hundreds of thousands of yuan to repair this Chen mansion by himself.
It was also on the same day that Zheng Zuyin finally moved into the presidential palace as he wished after completing the presidential oath, of course, although he moved into the presidential palace and became the president, he did not start his own policy in a hurry, let alone replace a large number of officials at the first time.
Zheng Zuyin is very self-aware, he, the president, is a puppet, and the big thing has to be Chen Jingyun's decision. However, Zheng Zuyin doesn't mind being a puppet, what he cares about is the position of president, and whether the president has real power is not too important. Anwarin doesn't want to be a puppet that's his business, he Zheng Zuyin has no psychological pressure as a puppet, and after stepping down from the presidency in the future, if he dies in the future, then his tombstone can have the following text: "The tomb of the late President of the Republic of China Zheng Zuyin!" ”
Others may not be treated in this way.
After staying in the presidential palace for a night, Zheng Zuyin sat in Chen Jingyun's office early the next morning, and Zheng Zuyin was extremely satisfied when he sat in that chair.
At this time, Yu Shifeng also came in: "President, this is a document that has been squeezed for many days, you can take it out and review it today!" ”
At the end of December, because of a series of major events such as the presidential change, many government affairs were squeezed down, and Zheng Zuyin nodded: "Well, I know!" ”
Speaking of this, Zheng Zuyin raised his head again: "By the way, from now on, all the documents sent to me will also be sent to Chairman Chen!" ”
To be a puppet is to have the consciousness of being a puppet, Zheng Zuyin doesn't want to offend Chen Jingyun's moldy head after just a few days as president.
Yu Shifeng said yes in his mouth, but in his heart he secretly said, I need your orders there, I have already asked someone to send a copy to Chairman Chen before these documents are sent to you.
Just when Zheng Zuyin was still excited about becoming president, Chen Jingyun was also talking to Lin Yun: "I'm going to go out for a walk and see the great rivers and mountains of our motherland!" ”
Chen Jingyun has rarely gone out since the era of the Fujian military and political axe, not because he doesn't want to, but because he doesn't have the opportunity and no time. Except for Shanghai and Wuhu, which occasionally go to see, only the northern tour that has just been reunified, and now it has been a full ten years since the northern tour, Chen Jingyun wants to go out for a walk, see what China has become of the country that he has worked hard for more than ten years, and see some things that are not in the cold document data.
Hearing Chen Jingyun say that he was going out, Lin Yun was also happy: "Really want to go out?" Ready to go there? ”
Chen Jingyun thought for a while: "First go north to the northeast, and then go south to Guangzhou, let's walk slowly all the way, look slowly!" ”
Chen Jingyun decided, this action was also very fast, and by the time it was February, after all aspects were ready, Chen Jingyun's special train had already left Nanjing and headed for Wuhu.
Wuhu is very close to Nanjing, and Chen Jingyun has been to Wuhu many times, so after getting off the bus, he is no stranger to Wuhu full of chimney factories.
Cai Dan hurriedly stepped forward: "I've seen the chairman!" After saying that, he fell his gaze on Cai Ning next to him: "Second sister, where is the standard?"
Cai Ning saw her brother who she hadn't seen for a long time, and she was also full of smiles: "The child was fine when he got out of the car, and he fell asleep after a while, and now he is at Aunt Liu's place!" ”
Chen Jingyun's trip this time was on the one hand to inspect, and on the other hand, he was to relax, so he brought his family here, and even the two brothers Chen Huatian and Chen Huajun should have brought him out for the winter vacation.
After saying a few words, Cai Dan also hurriedly stood aside and introduced the people who came to welcome Chen Jingyun. After some introduction, Chen Jingyun also gave a temporary speech for a few minutes, which can be regarded as the end of the welcome ceremony, and then after a group of people settled down, Chen Jingyun went directly to the Wuhu Industrial Base to inspect the large enterprises.
