Chapter 301: Dissolution of Congress
readx; "President, now that Sun Wen and Huang Xing have fallen, do you see if this Kuomintang is also ......" Duan Qirui held a teacup in his hand at this time and said to Yuan Shikai. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yuan Shikai's face at this time is not bad, his mood is indeed good, in the first battle of Anhui, the Beiyang Army finally played his due combat effectiveness, a wash of the grievances in the war in southern Jiangsu, when the war in southern Jiangsu was at the beginning, all kinds of unfavorable war reports tortured Yuan Shikai not lightly, at that time it simply made him unable to sleep at night, he couldn't eat well, and he felt bitter when he drank water, originally he was still a little worried that the Beiyang Army he had worked so hard to build up would decline, and the combat effectiveness was no longer what it was back then, Otherwise, how could they have fought so hard in southern Jiangsu, and even lost Nanjing after such a big loss, so that all the Jiangnan region fell under the control of the national army.
Just like the original battle in Hubei, Cao Kun's third division did not even spend too much effort to completely defeat the Anhui army, thus allowing Beiyang to control the central and northern regions of Anhui and lay the foundation for the security of the situation north of the Yangtze River.
He was satisfied with the result.
"The current Kuomintang is already rootless, and it doesn't take much effort to take it down, and with the previous assassination, outsiders can't say anything!" Yuan Shikai seemed to say to Duan Qirui, but he seemed to say to himself: "Now there is such a fierce disturbance in the Congress, every day they want to form a cabinet and re-elect the president, and the Progressive Party can't contain the Kuomintang!" ”
When the Nationalist Army and the Beiyang Army marched into Jiangxi and Anhui at the same time, those Kuomintang congressmen in the Congress would certainly not sit idly by, and launched several motions to prohibit the Beiyang Army and the Nationalist Army from sending troops.
Yuan Shikai was silent for a while and said: "Since the Kuomintang planned the assassination before, then this is treason!" In my opinion, there is no need for this Kuomintang to continue to exist! Let the people below mobilize public opinion first, and in a few days this Kuomintang will be solved! ”
Yuan Shikai still had the courage to go down, and after the instructions went down, the people below quickly mobilized relevant public opinion, vigorously criticized the treason of the Kuomintang, and then took out the matter of Sun Wen's attempt to exchange Manchuria and Mongolia for the loan, plus other bits and pieces of false facts that had been fabricated by Beiyang, and publicized it in the newspapers, scolding the Kuomintang for a bloody head, and at this time the Kuomintang was also skillfully cooperating with Yuan Shikai to publicize the bad deeds of the Kuomintang. 、
After this thorough preparation of public opinion, on 15 May, Yuan Shikai declared the Kuomintang a traitorous organization, and Sun Wen, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, and other important leaders of the Kuomintang were traitors and were wanted. At the same time, the Kuomintang members of the National Assembly were expelled.
All of a sudden, the Kuomintang was torn apart, and it no longer had the same atmosphere as the largest party in the Congress.
When Song Jiaoren wanted to reorganize the League to establish the Kuomintang, Sun Wen and Huang Xing and others were not very optimistic, and Sun Wen was not even a member of the Kuomintang at first, and it was not until later that he joined as the chairman of the board. Soong Chiao-jen also hoped that the Kuomintang would be used to wrest the power to form a cabinet from the Congress, and in fact it went extremely smoothly, and the Kuomintang became the largest party, and even if the Republican Party, the United Party, the Democratic Party, and the United Republican Party united to form the Progressive Party, it would not be able to shake the fact that the Kuomintang was the largest party in the Congress. However, the formation of the Progressive Party also frustrated the Kuomintang's desire to form a government on its own, and Soong Jiaoren had no choice but to negotiate with the Progressive Party and prepare to form a joint government.
However, all these efforts have now come to naught, and the sudden assassination time was used by Chen Jingyun and Yuan Shikai, and finally pointed the finger at the Kuomintang, and then before the Chinese people could react, these two had already marched into Jiangxi and Anhui respectively, and took Jiangxi and Anhui in less than a month. The revolutionaries lost the territory of the last two provinces, and the Kuomintang without territory became a rootless and powerless in the face of Yuan Shikai's expulsion.
"He Yuan Shikai is very anxious, and this will dissolve the Kuomintang!" Chen Jingyun understands and even supports Yuan Shikai's approach. The war between him and Yuan Shikai is a war, but now they all have the same enemy, that is, the Kuomintang, at this stage, it is necessary to eradicate all the forces of the revolutionaries and avoid future troubles, you must know that now the Nationalist Army occupies Jiangxi, and the Kuomintang has become a life-and-death enemy, and there is no room for relaxation between the two.
Moreover, there are so many warlords in China that there can be one less.
The Kuomintang was finished, Sun Wen and Huang Xing took their own ship and first fled to the Shanghai Concession, and then after Yuan Shikai's wanted warrant was issued, they crossed east to Yueben, ready to rely on Yueben as a revolutionary base, trying to make another revolution, the last revolution was aimed at the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and this time, their revolutionary objects became Yuan Shikai and Chen Jingyun. Although Song Jiaoren was unwilling, he was not stupid enough to stay in China and be arrested, and immediately followed Sun Wen and Huang Xing and fled to the capital. However, after the arrival of the "Ben Ben, his life was not very good, because Sun Wen had already planned to reorganize the Kuomintang, and this Kuomintang was different from the Kuomintang that Song Jiaoren had made at the beginning, because Sun Wen, in view of the failure of the previous alliance, believed that the revolution first needed loyalty, so when he asked to join the party, he swore loyalty to him and never betrayed, and this behavior made Song Jiaoren extremely dissatisfied, thinking that such a party constitution had seriously violated the spirit of the republic.
"If a party member swears allegiance to Mr., then what is the difference between him and Yuan Shikai and Chen Jingyun?" Song Jiaoren did not care about Sun Wen's face, and openly stated that he would not join the newly formed Kuomintang. These remnants of the revolutionary party are naturally a matter of the future, so we will not mention it for the time being.
After the collapse of the Kuomintang, the number of members of the National Assembly was seriously insufficient, and Yuan Shikai took this opportunity to announce the dissolution of the first National Assembly and a new election on the grounds that the number of members of the National Assembly was insufficient. Since the day the Congress was formed, Yuan Shikai has not liked this Congress, not to mention that he has been in the way, and has tried to overthrow his rule, whether it is to form a cabinet or to re-elect the president, Yuan Shikai cannot bear it.
So now as soon as he has the opportunity, he will not hesitate to dissolve the Congress, so that without the restraint of the Congress, he can do whatever he likes, as for the re-election of the Congress, slowly drag it out, and after the second Congress election is completed, it will be at least next year, and this time is enough for him to do a lot of things, such as completing the reunification of the country.
As long as the country is unified, what kind of Congress will be afraid of it at that time!
Even he thought that if he could really complete the reunification of China and lead China to complete its rejuvenation, then this achievement would be enough to make him famous in history. Even if it can't be compared with those great emperors of the Han and Tang dynasties, it should be the first person in hundreds of years. If it can really be completed, it will be a beautiful thing to retire and enjoy old age by yourself at that time.
Yuan Shikai is not a short-sighted and old-fashioned person, he also knows the advantages of parliamentary politics, and he also knows the disadvantages of military politics, but he knows better that any multi-party politics at this time is fake, whether it is Chen Jingyun or other warlords in the south, which one will not care about any congress, the central government, what they are afraid of is just the strong military power of Beiyang, as long as they are all cleaned up, after having a stable domestic foundation, it is the time to implement parliamentary party politics, now, He needs the power to complete this foundation.
In a troubled era, whether it is Yuan Shikai or Sun Wenhuang, Xing, Cai Yi, or even Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, these people cannot be distinguished by simple good and bad, people in high positions always think differently from ordinary people, although the path and direction they adhere to are different, but the ultimate goal is the same, that is, for the rejuvenation of China. If someone chooses the right one and succeeds, then he is a great patriot, and if someone chooses the wrong path and fails, then the title of traitor and so on has to stay on their heads.
As for personal self-interest and power, to a certain extent, they have been united with the interest groups they represent, and they belong to a relationship of both prosperity and loss, after all, there are few strange people like Cixi who emptied the treasury in order to get a private garden. Yuan Shikai and Chen Jingyun can basically enjoy it, and private money is meaningless to them, and all they care about is the ethereal thing of 'name'.
Like Yuan Shikai, the current Chen Jingyun has also begun to change in this direction, in the national army system, Chen Jingyun's power has reached its peak, and money means nothing to him, so what is left is the so-called ideal and posthumous name in his heart.
On 17 May, at the other end of the Fuzhou port, there were more than 10 warships of various sizes moored in the special port of the Fuzhou fleet, including large warships of more than 4,000 tons such as the Haiqi, medium-sized warships of more than 2,000 tons such as the Haiqiao, and of course more small warships of several hundred tons, most of which were gunboats.
Among these warships, three are particularly conspicuous, and the height of these three warships is not large in this large group of warships, but compared with many other small warships of three or four hundred tons, it seems to be much more in condition, especially these three almost identical warships are lined up together, giving people a particularly spectacular feeling.
These three warships are Changle-class gunboats, which are the Changle built at the Mawei Shipyard, and the Yongfeng and Yongji, which have been in China for more than a month. After returning to China, the two gunboats first arrived in Shanghai, then underwent various test training, and arrived in the port of Fuzhou with the Hai Chip a few days earlier.

The geography of the rainy day is not good, and I didn't look at the map much when I wrote these chapters, which led to thinking that Anqing was located in the south of the Yangtze River, so that when I wrote it, I put Anqing in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was thanks to the "Yin is invincible" that I found out. Now that a number of chapters above have been slightly modified, it has been replaced by the capture of Anqing by the Sixth Division of the National Army after crossing the river, which will not have much impact on the overall plot...... Please forgive me for the inconvenience caused by reading comprehension!
