New upstarts arrive every day in Beijing, and the sales of newspapers in Beijing have increased dramatically during this time. In order to sell, editors not only have to introduce the identity of those upstarts to readers, but also their past deeds, which newspaper digs deep, then which newspaper sells well. For the sake of readability, the deeds of these people in the Revival Society are almost written as myths.

For example, in Lei Yizhen, someone wrote a special article about General Lei's town of Lei, to the effect that on the eve of the recovery of the capital, there were huge thunderstorms and lightning flashes in the sky, but General Lei was the reincarnation of the thunder god, and he only recited a spell to the sky, and the thunder and lightning were all dispersed, and half of the revolutionary army was not injured at all; Then there is the new arrival yesterday Wang Jinfa Wang general, in the past years from Shaoxing night attack Hangzhou, the Qing general defending the city overnight on the stage, only the Qiantang River tide is higher than the sky, the generals are at a loss, General Wang blood a book, let his Western Regions BMW into the water to see the East China Sea Dragon King, told the revolutionary army to cross the river is to restore the Han Dynasty, the East China Sea Dragon King received the letter, immediately collected the tide, but the Western Regions BMW never went back......

There are so many myths and stories, but Yang Rui has not been arranged for a while, or if they have been arranged, they have not been published in the newspaper. According to the report of the Military Intelligence Bureau, because Wang Yangming died in Qinglong Port, Dayu County, Nan'an Prefecture, and this is where Yang Rui's ancestral home is, and at the same time, the decline of the philosophy book he copied in the West, from not being able to sell it to the present book, is now only touted to have the talent of the world, and then think of the revival will win the world, and the success of the Fuju and welcome the loyalty of King Min into Beijing, in the end he was actually said to be the reincarnation of Wang Shouren, and this news only made Yang Rui laugh. Wang Yangming's name is very familiar, but who is he?

No matter how many stories and legends there are about the upstarts, they have nothing to do with Liang Qichao, who is at No. 23 Yangou in the north of the inner city. As an old minister of the previous dynasty. Even if he has great talent, if he can't worship the new monarch like Yuan Shikai, Yang Zengxin and others, he can't be an official of the new dynasty because of his loyalty, and he has nothing special about the revival society.

Treat it like this, if you are an ordinary person. If you can't find fault with it, you will even be grateful, after all, the whole family has no worries. Money is enough to live a normal life, which is really a great thing, but for a romantic figure like Liang Qichao, he can't stand in the middle of the stage and be admired and respected by everyone. It's worse than killing him. Fortunately. The east is not bright and the west is bright, the good student Cai Ye has a place to settle in the southwest, although Yunnan is a poor province, but the output of hibiscus paste is not small, and under the vigorous development, the self-sufficiency of money and food is still enough. It's a bit embarrassing.

When another airship landed outside the gate of Yongding with the southern upstart, Liang Qichao was writing a letter with Cai Yi, the actual controller of Yunnan. Last night he met with the Japanese legation, the Japanese promised to support the independence of Yunnan when necessary, in case of war with Fuxing, Japan also promised to send arms from Burma to Yunnan with the tacit consent of the British, of course, these things come at a price, Japan wants the mining rights of the whole province of Yunnan.

The price is not the price, if the Fuxing Society does not release the Manchurians, does not wantonly organize Guangxu's funeral, and does not reconcile with Zhili, then Liang Qichao still has the opportunity to play the banner of revenge for Guangxu and obtain moral justice, but now the Fuxing Society has changed its temperament and actually buried Guangxu thickly, so he can't find an excuse if he wants to. In addition, he also heard that Prince Su Shanqi also seemed to have left the northeast and returned to the capital, and those people in the Fuxing Society not only did not arrest him, but also sent him the prescribed Yulu, and then ignored it.

If you want a revolution, you have to create hatred, and if you want to govern the country, you have to resolve hatred, and now the revival will magically change from an expert in creating hatred to an expert in resolving hatred, and Liang Qichao was surprised by such a rapid change. Of course, there are still some hatreds, such as princes and nobles, large and small officials who were robbed of their wealth and houses, but these are not very excessive, after all, part of the property was returned, and the mansion was also given some silver, and these aftermath measures only made people hate.

It's really hard to deal with such a situation! Liang Qichao wrote half of the letter, but he couldn't write it anymore, he just put the pen aside and was stunned. But at this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door outside, and Xu Qin whispered outside, "Zhuo Ru, Zhuo Ru......"

Hearing that it was Xu Qin, Liang Qichao hurriedly got up and asked his subordinates to hurriedly open the door, only to see Xu Qin panting, as if he was running, seeing that he wanted to speak, Liang Qichao stopped and said: "Say it in the house, say it in the house." He welcomed him into the house.

Liang Qichao was safe, but Xu Qin was in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the room, he said: "I have the draft constitution in my hands!" ”

Hearing that it was a draft constitution, Liang Qichao was shocked, grabbed Xu Qin's arm vigorously, and asked, "What about the election bill?" ”

"I got it too!" Xu Qin wiped his sweat and said, "I just got through guò today, Liu Chunlin's guy is really crazy about money, and he asked for a thousand taels!" ”

"Just get it, just get it!" Although he was distressed about the money, Liang Qichao heard that he got the election bill, so he couldn't care so much, he couldn't beat the Revival Association in a war, and he wouldn't be able to win the election.

In the middle of the Suosuo, Xu Qin took out the manuscript hidden in the flesh sticker, it was full of his sweat stains, and the first page was already a little blurry, but Liang Qichao still read them out with words:

"The Constitutional Conference of the Provisional National Assembly of the People's Republic of China formulates the Constitution for the reproduction of the nation, the inheritance of culture, and the rejuvenation of the country. Chapter 1 General Outline, Article 1, Great China Will Be Indivisible ......" The four words "indivisible" only scalded Liang Qichao for a moment, and then he continued to read: "Article 2, the Great China State exercises its ruling power with the National Assembly, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Tingwei Mansion, and the Taiwei Mansion. Chapter 2 ......

Liang Qichao quickly flipped through a few pages of the manuscript, but he didn't find what he was looking for, he asked anxiously: "Why doesn't it say the national system?" Is King Min ascending the throne? If you don't ascend the throne, why do you set up the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

"I don't know!" Xu Qinmai only skimmed over the manuscript, and ran before he had time to take a closer look, "After all, it is a provisional parliament now, and I think the revival will be a constitutional monarchy like the United Kingdom." ”

"The Congress is above the three governments. Whether there is an emperor or not, this right is all in the Congress, so I don't know what tricks Yang Jingcheng will play. There is no way he can hand over power. And why use the official position of the pre-Qin period, isn't it more foreign for the prime minister to call the prime minister or the prime minister? Liang Qichao said.

"I don't know, I heard that some people in the parliament also mentioned this, and it is estimated that when the official constitution comes out next year, these titles will be changed." Xu replied while handing over the draft election law, which is the real thing.

"Just this page, a few words is worth a thousand gold? This... This... It just doesn't make sense! "Take the thin piece of paper. Especially seeing that there was only one election qualification above, Liang Qichao was also angry, and he knew that he would not look for the representative of Zhili to find the representative of Yunnan. However, the representatives of Yunnan all lived in Prince Li's mansion, and there were soldiers with them, so it was difficult to say anything even if they were contacted.

"Ahh It's not just these few sentences, some things are just words. Xu Qindao. The eligibility for electors is twenty-five years of age or older. Those who have lived in the constituency for two years, and then have an annual tax payment of more than 5 yuan, or have real estate of more than 100 taels; The candidate must be born in the country, have lived in the country for at least 10 years, pay taxes of more than 7 yuan, or have real estate of more than 300 yuan. ”

"If you pay more than five dollars a year, or have a real estate ...... 100 yuan," Liang Qichao repeated the conditions, "doesn't this mean that individuals can vote?" ”

"Exactly." Xu Qin also thought about this article, "The elected person pays more than seven yuan in taxes." There are more than 10 million people who pay so many taxes. I think there will be a lot of revival. They just want the electors to get as many as possible. ”

"So how do these people choose? Is it still based on the number of places in each province? Liang Qichao didn't care about how many voters there were, he only thought about what tricks Yang Jingcheng would play.

"Not by province...... Ay! How to put it, this election is different from before, it used to be a one-time vote, but now it is a two-time vote. Xu Qin said, "The election law stipulates that a total of 600 parliamentarians are elected across the country, of which 30 are appointed, and the other 570 parliamentarians are divided into two types, one is 416 and the other is 154. There are 416 constituencies in the country, and only one member of parliament is elected in each constituency, and a total of 416 people are elected. The members of the Renaissance Association said that every part of the country must have representatives in the National Assembly, so that it is fair to the poor places, otherwise the provinces are used as constituencies, and the poor places will never have members, and this is unfair......

Liang Qichao ignored this fair word and asked, "Then how to choose the remaining 154 places?" ”

"The one hundred and fifty-four places are divided according to the province, but not according to the number of people, but according to taxes. For example, last year, 30,000 yuan was taxed, and 30,000 yuan was divided by 154, which is about 2 million taels. For example, if Jiangsu has 35 million taels of taxes, it will be allocated 14 places, Gansu will be able to get 1.8 million taels of taxes, and Guizhou will only have 1.7 million taels, so there will be none. Xu Qin said, "When voting, each person votes twice, one votes for the representative of the local state capital, and the other for the political party." For example, if there are 14 seats in Jiangsu, if 50% of the votes are cast for the Renaissance Association, then they can have 7 seats, and if there are 3 people who vote for the Alliance, then the League will have 4 seats. However, there is a 5 percent limit on participating parties, such as the League, which has fewer than 30 seats in the National Assembly after the general election, and its seats will be divided among other parties. ”

"So a small party will never get ahead." As soon as Liang Qichao heard that there was a five-percent limit, he sighed before thinking about the complicated one-vote two-election system, and then said: "There are 416 constituencies in the country, and one person is elected from each constituency, a total of 416 people; The remaining 154 seats will be divided according to the proportion of the votes cast......"

After a long time, Liang Qichao's face was very bad, "Jun Mian, such an election law is extremely beneficial to the big party, and extremely unfavorable to the small party." We... We still have to join hands with others, otherwise we will never come out. ”

Liang Qichao was worried that Xu Qin was not worried, otherwise he would not have run over so excitedly, "Zhuo Ru, how can there be no future?" In addition to Guanwai, Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet and other places, which state capital has not raised gentry? Now the revival will divide so many electoral divisions, and only choose one, they ......"

"Hey! Imagine that 6 percent of the country's literati will naturally have 6 percent of the seats in Parliament, but now the country is divided into 416 constituencies. There are always places where we don't have an advantage, as long as we lose one percent, five percent under the limit. We can't even get into Congress. And this two-vote system, although I have never seen it, but revival will make such a complicated thing, and it must be beneficial to do it. Liang Qichao said worriedly, "If you want to gain a foothold in the political arena in the future, you must unite with other parties, otherwise there will be no future." ”

Liang Qichao's analogy is simple. Xu Qin, a literati, can be regarded as understanding. However, the two-vote system for a single constituency has never been seen by Liang Qichao, who only knows that a single constituency is not good for small parties. But they don't know that the two-vote system for a single constituency, and that it is a parallel system rather than a joint system, is more disadvantageous to small parties. Such an electoral system will only allow the Revival Society to dominate the party and stay in power forever.

"Zhuoru. Who are we going to unite with? Xu Qin asked. It won't be ...... It can't be Sun Wen, right? ”

"Sun Wen is alone, and no matter how many people there are in the alliance, there are only hundreds. The relationship between the Furen Cultural Society and the Fuxing Society is very good...... Liang Qichao pondered, "We can only find Yuan Shikai, those old bureaucrats, the old constitutionalists are many, and the power is also the largest, as for the old revolutionaries of the League." If you agree with us, join us. If they don't agree with us, let them go. ”

"Looking for a grave bone?!" Xu Qin and Liang Qichao are the same students of Kang Youwei, and he has a deep grudge against Wuxu, and now Yuan Shikai is presiding over Guangxu's praise ceremony, which makes him very unhappy, but Liang Qichao said that he wants to unite him, "Zhuo Ru, you can't find anyone to find him, have you forgotten that he betrayed him more than ten years ago?" ”

"Jun Mian, now we can only look forward!" Liang Qichao said, "If we don't unite with Yuan Shikai, we won't be able to make any noise even if we enter the Congress, and most of the locals in Yunnan are locals, so we can't go to Yunnan to be parliamentarians." ”

Xu Qin understood that Liang Qichao was right, but he was still reluctant, but Liang Qichao didn't care so much, so he only returned to the study and wrote the letter to Cai Yi hastily, and then went to find Song Jiaoren.

The Provisional Congress met for more than a month, but Song Jiaoren's voice was hoarse, but he could not do anything about the Congress controlled by the Fuxing Society, and under the condition that Yang Rui clearly promised Yuan Shikai a provincial land, even if he withdrew from the Congress, the other two representatives of Zhili would still hold on until the Congress was over. When Liang Qichao set out to look for him, he was briefing Huang Xing, Tan Renfeng, several members of the Huaxing Association, and Zhang Shizhao, who had just arrived in Tianjin today, about the situation in the National Assembly and the current situation.

"Yang Jingcheng is very smart, holding up democracy and anti-democracy, and now all provinces are holding peasant associations, and when the election comes, we will be overwhelmed by those people." Song Jiaoren said in a hoarse voice, it was imperative to reorganize the alliance, and he tried his best to gain Huang Xing's support.

"It's going to be the same over there in Hunan?" Tan Renfeng asked, "We, the Hunan people, have always been united, and we will elect parliamentarians as you said, and Hunan will not let the Revival Society get involved." ”

"No, Brother Renfeng. Do you know, Zhu Kuansu, the king of Min, is a native of Tanzhou, and his grandfather is Zhu Changlin......" Song Jiaoren said the secret news he heard from the outside, and before he finished speaking, Huang Xing choked on a sip of tea.

"At the beginning of the day, what you said is true?" Finally holding back his breath, Huang Xing asked with a puffed face.

"It's true. Some time ago, Zhu Changlin's family was sent to the capital by airship, and they were greeted by the people in the palace," Song Jiaoren said, "This matter is a big deal in Tanzhou." The Japanese Sokata Kotaro said that Hunan people would sit in the world, but he didn't expect it to be the case. The Fuxing Association welcomes King Min into Beijing, there is such a relationship, do you say that the people of Hunan will support the Fuxing Society? ”

Huang Xing, Tan Renfeng, and Zhang Shizhao are still calm, but Hu Ying and a few young people can't sit still, King Min is actually from Hunan, which makes them suddenly hate the imperial system, what's wrong with Hunan people sitting in the world.

"A parliamentary system is completely better than a presidential system." Zhang Shizhao studied law in the United Kingdom, and now he sees that the government elected by the Renaissance Association is very similar to that of the United Kingdom, and he is immediately very impressed. "The hypocrisy system is also beneficial to the country, whether it is the emperor or the king of Min, it can calm the hearts of the people. It's just that the small constituency system is good for the big parties, and if you want to have a seat in Congress, the League must not only be reorganized, but also united with other parties. ”

"How do you say 'you'?" Hu Ying said dissatisfiedly, "Although you are not a member of the alliance, you can be regarded as a member of the Huaxing Association, and now you want to fight with Yang Jingcheng, how can you stand by and watch?" ”

"All I have to do is stand by and support whoever is right to me." Zhang Shizhao has been revolutionizing for a few years, and the lessons are profound, and he is no longer extreme, "Now Yang Jingcheng does not have a dictatorship for a while, nor a dictatorship, and the Fengtian Revival Army has surrounded the Japanese again, after these things are done, who else will not obey him?" Now it is up to us to see this Sino-Japanese negotiation, if we can ensure that our rights and interests are not lost, when the formal Diet is elected, more than eighty percent of the people will be revival members. ”

Seeing that Zhang Shizhao still looked like a bystander, Huang Xing was not angry, Song Jiaoren said, "Be strict, don't be deceived by Yang Jingcheng, now he has an absolute advantage, naturally he is very generous, once the alliance is reorganized and the revival will be elected, then he will not be like this." ”

Seeing that Song Jiaoren, a fan of the parliament, still didn't understand the power of the small constituency system, Zhang Shizhao said with a smile, "At the beginning of the retreat, the people who knew you and Keqiang were only in Hunan, Guangxi, and Guangdong provinces. Mr. Zhongshan's reputation is re-revealed, no one in Lhasa and Kulun will know him, right? But now that the organization of the Revival Society has penetrated into most of the prefectures of the country, those who do not know Mr. Nakayama know all about the Renaissance Society, and when the time comes to elect, most of the entire Diet will be members of the Renaissance Association, and even if you reorganize the League, it will only be a small party in the Diet. ”

Zhang Shizhao didn't give an example like Liang Qichao, but Song Jiaoren understood the mystery when he heard it, and immediately pondered when he heard it. Tan Renfeng next to him said, "Be strict, then according to what you say, the rules of the revival will be beneficial to them, isn't it unfair for them to be like this?" ”

"Brother Renfeng, the parliamentary government is like this, now the Renaissance Association is divided into constituencies according to the state capital, this is still the rule, if they find that the alliance will have an advantage in northern Xiangbei, they can completely re-divide the constituency and merge our dominant state capital into one constituency, so that our original multiple seats will become one, or change their dominant state capital from one constituency to two or more constituencies, then the members of the Renaissance Association will become one into two or more."

Zhang Shizhao introduced the cheating method of the change of constituency, and just wanted everyone to see and open their eyes, "In 1812, that is, in the seventeenth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, Massachusetts Governor Jerry used this method to divide the electoral districts of Massachusetts like a salamander. At present, the Renaissance Association has not done this, and only divides the constituencies according to the state capital, and some provinces with relatively few provinces, such as Hubei, which only have 12 prefectures, have been promoted to 18 districts, which is already very above board.

In fact, if you want me to say that Yang actually wants to make it clear that he will be autocratic for a while, that would be the most stupid. Obviously, if you take a good hand, you can win all the money on the table, and there is no need to take out the gun and rob the rest of the money; As for the choice of the parliamentary cabinet system, as long as Yang Jingcheng does not make mistakes, he can be the prime minister for the rest of his life, and it is justifiable, so that people can't find the slightest fault, which is his wisest choice.

At the beginning of the year, he said that he would reorganize the League, and I think that not only should it be reorganized, but it would also be able to unite with Liang Zhuoru and the Furen Cultural Society of Liangguang to become the second largest party in the parliament, and win the remaining one or two percent of the seats, and the whole country will have a two-party system like the United States in the future. However, the difference is that as long as the Renaissance Society does not make a big mistake, it will remain in power forever, while the party of the Retreat Elementary Party can only supervise the Renaissance Society. In my opinion, there must be a master behind this Yang Jingcheng, and this method is not something that ordinary people can come up with. ”

"Xingyan, you said that the Revival Society can govern forever, and Yang can be the prime minister for the rest of his life, is this true? Washington of the United States also contributed to the founding of the country, but he only served two terms as president and did not do it, how can Yang Jingcheng be, how can he ...... What kind of democracy is there in this way?! Under the influence of Sun Wen, he thought that the president would be changed in two terms at most, and the ruling party would be rotated once in more than ten years, but he didn't want Yang Rui to get out of the parliament to be such a democratic dictatorship.

"Keqiang, this is democracy!" Zhang Shizhao said, "Nowadays, the strong survive between countries, and Yang Jingcheng can develop the Revival Society to such a scale in eight years, and he can also seize the world within three months, such a strong man as a leader is the blessing of China!" Besides, the parliament has the power to overthrow the cabinet, if he doesn't do well, he can do it at any time, gentlemen, this is the best thing! (To be continued......)
