Section 262 The dispute between the defense ministers has made waves

"The Wuchang Revolution was both successful and failed, which is an important political proposition." Zhang Nanjiang, who served as the premier of the state, gave a relatively concise explanation of this, pointing out that "the Wuchang Revolution was ignorant and hung up an empty signboard of a republic, but did not actually build a republic. In terms of the whole purpose of the revolution, it cannot but be called a failure. The purpose of the revolution was not only to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and not only to gain the false name of the Republic of China, but to create a new China with freedom and equality of people-orientedism", and made it clear that the realization of people-humanism was the ultimate goal of the Wuchang Revolution. In this sense, the Wuchang Revolution was both successful and unsuccessful.

However, at this time, Nanjing was jubilant, the first democratically elected president Jov was sworn in, and the revolutionaries finally turned into serfs and sang and became the masters of the country. On March 15, the 2nd year of Xuantong, Qiao Fu, who was in his prime, wore a military uniform and a military hat, accompanied by Speaker Tang Erhe, Vice Speaker Wang Chonghui and others, and was escorted by the guards of the Liangguang Business Group sent by Li Pingshu, and took a special railway train from Shanghai to Nanjing to take up the presidency. More than 10,000 people from Shanghai's political, military and public circles arrived at the station to send them off. The special train set off amid the sound of cannons, and was warmly welcomed when passing through Suzhou, Wuxi, Zhenjiang and other stations. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the special train arrived at Nanjing Xiaguan Station and slowly galloped into the city track amid the cheers of the citizens. At this time, military music rang out in unison, and the warships anchored in the Yangtze River fired a 21 cannon salute. Consuls from all over the world in Nanjing also came to the station to greet Jofu together with the leaders of the People's Army and the people. After getting off the special train, Qiao Fu took a blue embroidered silk carriage and was accompanied by Huang Kedi and Xu Shaozhen to the presidential palace located in the former Liangjiang Governor's Office of the Qing Dynasty. The carriage was in progress, led by a military band riding a triumphal song in front of it, followed by a guard. At this time, it was drizzling and the weather was cold, but the citizens of Nanjing could only celebrate with joy; The lights, candles, and flags hanging from the shops along the way make the whole city full of festive atmosphere. Outside the gate of the Provisional Presidential Palace, two colored gates were erected, and the pine and cypress and colored paper flowers showed a warm atmosphere, and the nine gold-pasted red palace lamps hanging on the color doors were particularly eye-catching.

At night, the lobby of the Provisional Presidential Palace is brightly lit, and the banner hanging on the front eaves of the lobby reads: "Good Fortune of the Republic of China". On both sides of the lobby, there are vertical couplets: "Drive out the Tartars and restore China; Establishment of equal land rights in the Republic of China. On the lobby, there are five-color flags symbolizing the Hanmanchu and Mongolian republics hanging side by side, on both sides are the iron-blooded eighteen-star flags used in the Wuchang Uprising, and in the middle of the lobby are hung with ropes of various national flags.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the exciting inauguration ceremony of the provisional president of the Republic of China began. The auditorium of the Presidential Palace was brightly lit, and in the center of the rostrum was pasted 13 glittering golden characters of "Inauguration Ceremony of the Provisional President of the Republic of China." Huang Kedi, Wang Zhaoming, Hu Chuanru, Xu Shaozhen, and others lined up on both sides to welcome the arrival of the first democratically elected president, and Jing Yaoyue, a representative from Shanxi, was in charge of presiding over the inauguration ceremony. Representatives of various provinces, military and political dignitaries from all sides, and American friends such as Homer were all present in the hall, and many journalists came to cover the news.

When the dusty Jofu walked into the lobby, the audience shouted "Long live the republic". Joff stepped onto the platform and clapped his hands in thanks. After Joff took his seat, the participants of the ceremony bowed three times, fired a 21-gun salute, and then played a majestic military music. After reporting on the election, Deputy Jing Yaoyue asked Interim President Jov to take the oath of office. Jofu stood up from his seat, faced the five-colored national flag on the wall, raised his right hand and swore: "Overthrow the Manchu autocratic government, consolidate the Republic of China, and seek the happiness of the people. After the autocratic government fell, there was no chaos in the country, and the Republic of China stood outstanding in the world, recognized by the nations, and Sifu was relieved of the post of provisional president. I swear to the people. Jove's oath spread throughout the venue with his subdued Cantonese official dialect, and won warm applause from the audience.

After Qiao Fu took the oath, Jing Yaoyue then took the stage and delivered a eulogy to the president on behalf of the provinces in an enthusiastic tone: "However, on March 15 of the first year of the Republic of China, Qiao Fu, the first president of the Republic of China, took office. Representatives of citizens of 18 provinces greeted the celebration and delivered a speech, saying: However, the great-grandson of the Han Dynasty failed, Donghu invaded internally, and the Chinese people were captured by adultery, and those who acted as emperors themselves were dying for 300 years. The descendants of my emperor and Han groaned deeply, and the system of equality between the French and the Americans was used to conspire with the people, looking up and down, thinking about the overthrow of the abusive government, and the restoration of human rights. Today, there are three parts of the world, and there are two ways to restore the government, which is to establish a republic, to form a government, to elect democracy, and to put the president in office. Willing to respect the republic, proclaim public opinion, but the public is virtuous; Eliminate autocracy, consolidate freedom, but the public is virtuous; Recover Yucheng, Keding Heshuo, raise Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui, Tibetan Qunlun, and overturn the government of equality, but also the public sage. You must know that our people have been using the system for a long time, and they are frowning and looking forward to democracy. Now when the public is in charge, the pale cane, the children are increased, the incense is burned, and the grateful ones are gone, why not? Dance freedom, civil rights also. With the great life of 400 trillion people and 200 million miles of mountains and rivers, the people entrusted to the public have also been heavy! From now on, only the public wings will not violate the Constitution, do not disobey public opinion, do not be a prestige, do not worship arbitrariness, do not have nicknames and virtues, and do not appoint non-talents. I would like to send a letter to the president, and I will give orders, worship as a letter symbol, and admire it! ”

After the eulogy, Jing Yaoyue solemnly handed over the "Seal of the Provisional President of the Republic of China" to Qiao Fu in the warm applause of everyone again. After receiving the red silk wrapped ribbon with a solemn expression, Qiao Fu immediately stamped the prepared "Provisional President's Declaration" and handed it to Hu Hanmin to read. Subsequently, in his capacity as provisional president, Jov issued the "Letter to the Compatriots of the Whole Country", "Letter to Friends and Countries", "Letter to the Officers and Soldiers of the Navy and Army" and "Letter to the Officers and Soldiers of the Northern Army", declaring the foreign and domestic affairs of the government of the Republic of China. In the end, he ordered Anhui to be called the Republic of China.

On March 16, Provisional President Jov issued the "Telegram on Changing the Calendar and Changing the Yuan", stipulating: "The Republic of China will use the Gregorian calendar, and the 13th day of the 11th month of the Yellow Emperor Era will be the New Year's Day of the Republic of China. The telegram also announced that March 15, 1911 would be the beginning of the founding of the Republic of China.

"What are you happy about?" According to the way of eating in the West, the husband and wife should sit at both ends of the long dining table when eating, as if presiding over the meeting, if the table is too grandiose, just like Wu Chenxuan's manor on Sili Mountain, the dining table is customized according to the specifications of the restaurant The length of six meters is not as long as the twelve-meter super large dining table in some earls' homes, but if the couple wants to chat a few days during the meal, I am afraid that they can use the telephone style, if the eyes are not good, then forget to wear glasses and even the face of the person who eats opposite can't see clearly, After eating, you may not know if the other side is eating the same as yourself. Therefore, Wu Chenxuan, who has always despised etiquette education, and only takes not hindering the observation of others as the bottom line, sits side by side with his wife Wang Zijin in the center of the dining table, and from time to time shovels the soft-boiled eggs that his wife doesn't like to eat into his own plate and swallow them.

"Madam, do you want me to say that because my Great Qing Kingdom has been closed for two years?" Wu Chenxuan said with a smile, the newspaper in his hand was full of reports on President Qiao's enthronement ceremony, oh, it was the inauguration ceremony.

"Believe, husband, who are you? The tens of thousands of brothers under his hands, even the Russians are afraid of three points, if they plan to deal with Jof, they will naturally be caught, but I think your hairstyle is so weird, well, it's not bad-looking, anyway, I'm not used to it. ”

"Hmm, hairstyle?" Touching his own standard bias, how can he not get used to the very handsome national head. But when I think about it, the foreigners I have seen seem to have long hair and beards, and all of them look like artists. Chinese are refreshing, but there is no shortage of Chen Tianhua, oh, the half-length hairband like Brother Bian is naturally curly. Although the Chinese who returned from overseas cut their braids, most of them were divided or boarded, and there were many long hair shawls, and hairstyles like Wu Chenxuan were not popular, no wonder his wife felt strange. "Madam, this is the most popular men's hairstyle predicted by Miss Du at Paris Fashion Week this year, capable, refreshing and slightly elegant, it is really my preferred hairstyle for oriental men, and it is a must-have for my sister... Well, no, I'm asking if you believe it or not, because I close early in the morning, why did you talk about hairstyles? ”

"Didn't I say the letter? Husband, eat. "Wang Zijin didn't put down the research report in his hand at all, and the habit of not being able to eat and read the newspaper was brought by Wu Chenxuan himself, so he can't blame His Excellency Madame for eating and reading the newspaper, oh, it's a report.

"By the way, this report of the fungus cow was not sent to you directly from the laboratory." Looking at his wife who was holding a report in one hand and a pizza in the other, Wu Chenxuan suddenly felt the need to remind the female doctor that although it is a new species, it is also a human being, and it is still necessary to pay attention to hygiene when importing Dongdong.

"No, it's an office-printed transcript."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay."

"By the way, husband, can I go see the demonstration of the temporal lobe nerve reflex experiment you said in the afternoon?"

Looking at the piece of pork liver on the chopsticks in his hand, Wu Chenxuan put down the chopsticks with a smile, and couldn't get angry at Miss Wang, who was still reading the report and didn't react at all. I had to put down my chopsticks, drank borscht, and muttered, "Of course you can, but after the eighth of next month, you must put down work to recuperate, this is an agreement." ”

"Okay, husband, your German has also improved, so you don't need to eat more of these high-cholesterol foods, and the pork liver will belong to me." The female doctor smiled narrowly, snatched the pork liver from Wu Chenxuan's plate and ate it, selling it cute like a child.

"Cheng, follow the will of Mrs. Yi." Wu Chenxuan was also helpless, who made his marksmanship superb, and hit the shot, now he has to obey his pregnant wife and sign countless traitorous treaties.

Usually in the TV series, the husband and wife have a harmonious and leisurely meal, and there are always guys who don't have long eyes to come in and make trouble and report some bad news, and this time is no exception. It was Zhang Nanjiang who came in, his leg had undergone Du Niang's "careful" treatment (in fact, he was deeply anesthetized and sent to the base medical cabin to reconstruct the knee joint), and his function had been restored, but he didn't dare to use his injured leg due to psychological factors, and his walking posture was a little weird.

It is said that some members of the Revolutionary Party believe that Huang Kedi played a leading role in the Wuchang Revolution and was the first person to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, and our army has not made an inch of merit and cannot assume the heavy responsibility of Minister of National Defense."

"Hehe, I'm in a hurry to jump out and make the wind and rain." Wu Chenxuan was not as angry as Zhang Nanjiang thought, but the disdain and contempt hidden in his faint smile made Zhang Nanjiang feel that he was making a big fuss.

Wu Chenxuan said lightly, "Brother Renjie, please send me a telegram in clear code, and ask whether the Minister of Defense of this republic is internal or external?" If the people's uprising is suppressed internally, I, Wu Chenxuan, am willing to let Xian and let them take this position to reward their first meritorious heroes. If you want to defend your home and defend the country and suppress the frontier, you can ask on my behalf, who has the ability and courage to resist the enemy in the face of the invasion of foreign powers? ”

"Good! The general seat is proud, and the subordinates are obedient. Zhang Nanjiang's spirits lifted, yes, the boss of his own family has a very hard gun in his hand, not to mention those people's troops in the south, even the tiger whiskers of the new army of Wuyi did not dare to touch in the heyday of Beiyang. In the reply call, Zhang Nanjiang added a sentence: "But if you dare to take national defense as a child's play, I don't know if the new saber of our military wing is sharp?" The shaft is ignorant, so he can try his hand at hunting. ”
