On October 8, the ninth year of the Republic of China, before the Double Tenth Festival, all of a sudden, all the newspapers reported the origin of the Anfu Congress, which was to remove the provisional parliament from being formed by the Anhui faction without authorization, and it was an illegal Congress. All of a sudden, the important officials of the Anhui government were completely unable to resist it. And the people who were infected by the north, especially the people in the provisional parliament in the south, were all members of the parliament who were driven away by Duan Qirui, and they also published newspapers to criticize the Anfu parliament. Seeing this, the direct family also immediately criticized the Anfu Parliament, and even Zhang Zuolin of the Northwest Army also made people write to criticize the Anhui Parliament, which beat the situation of the water dogs, which was spectacular.

There are four major news criticism places in the Republic of China, namely the Beijing-Tianjin area, the Songhu area, the three towns of Wuhan and the Guangzhou area, these four places are either manipulated by Wang Maoru, or there is enmity with the Anfu Congress, the criticism of the Anfu Congress is endless, and the reporters finally have a place to release because of the implementation of the news management measures, so they grabbed every Anfu congressman, chased them to the door of the people's house to interview, and vowed not to stop until the Congress was destroyed.

Under the pressure of such public opinion, even the normal convening of the National Assembly has become a reason for being criticized. Wang Yitang, the speaker of the House of Representatives, who had to be mixed with the infinite scenery everywhere, had to announce his resignation at this time and resigned from the post of Speaker of the House of Representatives, and after Vice Speaker Liu Enge acted as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, he immediately visited Wang Maoru, but he was closed, Wang Maoru knew what he meant, but it was too late, when your Anfu Council vetoed me, why didn't you think about the current fate. Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Liu Enge, held out for a few days. I couldn't stand the indiscriminate bombardment in the newspapers and resigned.

Two Speakers of the House of Representatives resigned, and two Speakers of the Senate also had to resign, so the whole country. For a while, there was no Congress. Rightfully so, the re-election of the National Assembly has become a priority. The Anfu National Assembly was elected in the sixth year of the Republic of China, and next year is the tenth year of the Republic of China, and it happens to be a four-year parliamentary election year, but now that the parliament has existed in name only, it must be held immediately.

At this time, Wang Maoru, a representative of the National Defense Forces and vice minister of the army, proposed to President Xu Shichang to re-elect the parliament. Members of the Senate and the House of Representatives must be elected in accordance with the national election and must not be made privately, at the same time. The southern government also wanted to participate in the elections and sent an invitation to Sun Wen, the revolutionary government of Guangdong, to form a joint government between the north and the south.

Sun Wen was startled, Wang Maoru made some trouble in the north. It turned out that the National Assembly had been destroyed. As for who it is, even a fool can think that it is none other than Wang Maoru, who has nine hearts in his head. Sun Wen immediately took a look at how Wang Maoru made a high-profile Anfu council. And it only took a month to get rid of the parliament, which seemed too incredible to them. Knowing that Wang Maoru first started with the guidance of public opinion, Sun Wen pondered for a while and said: "This person is becoming more and more dictatorial, and the southern government is uniting with him, which is really conspiring with the tiger. ”

However, although Sun Wen disagreed. However, the provisional parliament of the Provisional Revolutionary Government in the South was very interested in this and asked Sun Wen to join him. was rejected by Sun Wen.

Subsequently, Vice President Meng Enyuan announced in his capacity as acting prime minister that the two houses of parliament are constituted, and the Senate is elected by each provincial government agency to elect two senators, and Shanghai and Beijing belong to the provincial-level autonomous regions, and also have the power of two senators, because the Republic of China has a total of 29 provinces and two autonomous regions (at that time, ** was occupied by the British), so the number of senators is 62, and the term of appointment of senators is eight years. The number of members of the House of Representatives is planned according to the proportion of the population of each province, and the number of members of the House of Representatives is two for provinces with a population of less than one million, and the number of members of the House of Representatives is two for every million population, so that the number of members of the House of Representatives is 426. The members of the House of Representatives are elected within the provinces, and the provinces should elect senators, and similarly, those who aspire to build the country can run for the House of Representatives in their own provinces. Members of the House of Representatives are appointed for a term of four years, after which they are re-elected.

Duan Qirui saw that the Anfu Department was already in the wane, and he was sad and indignant in his heart, thinking that he could still compete with Wang Maoru in Beijing, but Wang Maoru made such a fuss, the parliament was dissolved, and the army was reorganized, what is the point of going on like this? said goodbye to Wang Maoru, Wang Maoru resolutely disagreed, saying why should Duan Gong be obsessed with this? But Duan Qirui had a strong personality and resolutely resigned. President Xu Shichang also didn't like Duan Qirui, so he accepted Duan Qirui's second resignation and asked him to go home and be a duke.

After the dissolution of the parliament and the resignation of Duan Qirui, the Anhui politicians in Beijing changed their courts one after another, especially some former Anfu parliamentarians headed by Liu Enge immediately threw themselves into the arms of Wang Maoru and threatened to run for Wang Maoru. In order to run for the congressional qualifications, Liu Enge immediately ran back to Liaoning to prepare to run for the House of Representatives.

In the temporary elimination of the Anfu Council heavy

Before the new parliamentary election, Xu Shichang was very comfortable during this period, and no one dared to block the presidential decree anymore, he was grateful and afraid of Wang Maoru in his heart, and this smiling young man was like a thorn in his back for him.

Xu Shichang is known as a good man and an old man of peace, although he is biased towards the direct line in his heart, but when Cao Kun is single-mindedly thinking about being president, he has to think of a way out. In order to take the lead in next year's presidential election, Cao Kun took the initiative to find Wang Maoru in the hope of getting support. At the same time, Vice President Meng Enyuan relied on his relationship with Wang Maoru and also came to Wang Maoru's house, openly and secretly signaling that if he became president, he would definitely hand over the country to him in the future.

Among these three, no matter who will be the president in the future, they are actually firmly controlled by Wang Maoru, but at this time Wang Maoru is thinking about another question, that is, how to completely unify the north -- Zhang Zuolin's Northwest Army has not made any remarks or meanings so far. Wang Maoru didn't know Zhang Zuolin, what did he, the seventh brother, think, now that the situation is clear, if the Northwest Army wants a long time, he will naturally accompany him to the end. However, the Northwest Army neither wanted to fight nor reunified, and really didn't know why.

Wang Maoru found Zhang Kuian and ordered Zhang Kuian to go to the northwest to discuss the reorganization of the Northwest Army. Zhang Kuian gladly accepted that when the parliament was re-elected, Zhang Kuian felt that relying on his current connections and role, if Wang Mao was president in the future, he would definitely have no second choice for prime minister.

Zhang Kuian's ability to persuade his direct family has made China famous in the political circles of the Republic of China, and this time Wang Maoru entrusted him with a heavy task and went to Xi'an to persuade Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Kuian was full of confidence and ambition, and he must persuade Zhang Zuolin to accept the restructuring of the national defense force. However, Zhang Kuian also expressed his worries, Zhang Zuolin is not an ordinary person, big fish use heavy bait, I don't know what heavy bait Wang Maoru used for him.

Wang Maoru smiled slightly and said: "Three roads, money, power, and the army." Then he carefully explained that asking for money is to support Zhang Zuolin's participation in Huaxia National Bank, and he will be rich for ten generations in the future, and he will not be able to spend money in a lifetime. wants power, Wang Maoru also wants Zhang Zuolin to enter the central government, and the position is above him. If he wants the army, Wang Maoru will arrange for him to be a regiment commander, but from now on, he will not be allowed to meddle in politics and be a pure soldier.

Zhang Kuian said: "It's better to eliminate it in one fell swoop, and now the Northwest Army is between the White Tiger Legion, the Xuanwu Legion and the Qilin Legion, completely breaking Zhang Zuolin's thoughts." ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said: "Civil war, if you can't fight, you won't fight." Moreover, the terrain in the northwest region is complicated, and if we fight to the death with Zhang Zuolin -- this old boy has this possibility -- he will go to this 800-mile mountain and river in Shaanxi Province and come out from time to time to carry out some terrorist attacks, which will be enough for us to bear. What we are most afraid of is this kind of war of attrition, and the reunification of the country as soon as possible is the trend of the times, and it is up to the opponent to be eliminated and the people will be served. If you go to Xi'an, on the other hand, you have to win over the officers of the Northwest Army, they are all poor, and if you give a little money, these people are very likely to turn the gun. Therefore, to persuade Zhang Zuolin, it is even more necessary to persuade the generals of the Northwest Army. Zhang Zuolin has lived in the northwest for less than five years, and his foundation is unstable, so if the northwest army is in chaos, he has to agree. ”

Zhang Kuian smiled: "The richer the warlords, the more they must be eliminated, right?" ”

Wang Maoru pointed at Zhang Kuian and said, "You kid is getting smarter and smarter." ”

Zhang Kuian was thoughtful on the way back, and now the only warlord in the rich area outside the government is Lu Yongxiang's Zhejiang army, and Lu Yongxiang's Zhejiang army and Wang Maoru's national defense army are indirect allies. Songhu Shanghai as the Yangtze River estuary convenience, especially as China's largest tobacco distribution center, has long surpassed Tianjin and Qingdao, the national defense force and Lu Yongxiang cooperation business is to once again collect and distribute Hulunbuir tobacco and Northeast cigarettes and cigars and other big business, and the two armies joined forces to drive other warlords' tobacco out of Shanghai, in Songhu to implement tobacco monopoly. At first, Lu Yongxiang did not attach importance to the tobacco business, he valued the tobacco trade, but in fact, for the Wehrmacht, the tobacco and tobacco business accounted for half of the business, and the profits of regular tobacco were more long-term. Now Wang Maoru must be preparing to deal with Lu Yongxiang, eliminating the warlords in the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River and buying the warlords in the barren land in the northwest.

That Lu Yongxiang was immersed in the confidence of cooperating with the National Defense Force at the moment, Wang Maoru had just called Lu Yongxiang to ask him about the possibility of accepting the reorganization, but Lu Yongxiang refused, Wang Maoru just appeased him and told him not to give the world a handle.

Sitting in the car, Zhang Kuian sighed, Zhang Zuolin seems to be the meat on the board, Lu Yongxiang is about to be destroyed, Xiushuai doesn't know if he is preparing to deal with Sun Wen and Lu Rongting now, just the ability to take one step and count three steps makes people jealous.
