Wu Chenxuan wholeheartedly built his strong shield and spear, holding the barrel of the gun and the barrel of the pen tightly, and the money bag on his waist was also coveted. In contrast, President Jov is much more pressurized, do you want money or not, guns or guns, and talents? Originally, there was no shortage, but unfortunately now he may not have the same heart and mind as him Qiao Daguan.

This has to start from Taoyuan County, Hunan Province, hundreds of miles away. It takes about 30 minutes to drive from Taoyuan County to Jiaoren Village (the name of the later generations) in Zhangjiang Town. Now if you go, halfway through, there will be a sign on the side of the road: Song Dunchu's Former Residence, 8.7 kilometers. The hardest part is the last kilometer. After the rain, the dirt road was muddy and difficult to walk. After the dust settled, Wu Chenxuan instructed wealthy merchants in Taoyuan County and Changde to raise 100,000 yuan to restore the former residence of Song Dunchu in memory of the father of the republican revolution and the pioneer of China's democratic system.

The closed wooden courtyard house was empty as a former residence, but it was here that in the summer of ten years ago that Song Dunchu set out from here and embarked on his constitutional path of no return. Changsha, Wuhan, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, he gave speeches all the way, preaching responsible cabinets and party politics. In June of the fourth year of the Republic, the revolutionaries in the cabinet of the Nanjing government, with Song Dunchu as the backbone, advocated that all rights should be returned to the National Assembly.

In fact, when he was still in Hunan, Song Dunchu had already heard that "there was internal commotion in the party" and received a telegram from his secretary Liu Bai warning him of the crisis. But he always thinks that "even if there are waves in a small way, it will not become a big trend", because "looking at the level of talents, there are not many people who have this ability". Along the way, he heard the news that the northern dignitaries would be unfavorable to him, but he still regarded it as a rumor, believing that the party competition was above board, and that the party and the bureaucracy might not have such despicable and cruel methods; Even if it is not a rumor, it is not possible to slack off on one's responsibilities, so it is calm and unmoved.

Divisions within the revolutionary party have long been frozen. Hu Chuanru believes in his autobiography that Song Dunchu learned the "art of political party vertical and horizontal" when he was in Japan, and before and after the Wuchang Revolution, "the internal coercion of the enemy (Huang) was the most important, and the external alliance with Zhao (Fengchang), Zhang (Jian), Tang Hualong, and each other, the constitutionalist sent people to advance because of their pleasure, and the reputation of the Song Dynasty suddenly rose, so Zhang Binglin was talented." However, in the end, because of the party, the enemy did not dare to seize the position of leader, and at the beginning of the Song Dynasty (Song) he wanted to be the president, and he was the prime minister, so he had to obey the party's proposal."

The republic was not established, and at the summit of the revolutionary party, Song Dunchu almost turned his face with his big brother Jofu over the issue of political system. Song advocated a cabinet system, while Qiao insisted on a presidential system, saying, "We cannot restore the law of defense for the only person who is believed in the election." Yu also refused to favor the opinions of others, and pretended to be a sacred wart, so as to mislead the great plan of the revolution. Song Dunchu refused to agree at first, but was persuaded by Huang Kedi to obey the party's resolution. However, when Cao Qiao negotiated peace between the north and the south, and the position of provisional president was about to change hands, Qiao Fu began to approve of the cabinet system and tried to make Cao Kun, who was not "recommended by faith", a "sacred wart", but the rapid decline of the direct line made the position of the interim president sit under Qiao Fu's buttocks, and Qiao Fu never mentioned the advantages of the so-called cabinet system.

As to why he advocated the cabinet system, Song Dunchu's speech at the Shanghai Ministry of Communications of the Revolutionary Party a year later made it very clear: "...... We advocate a cabinet system in order to create a parliamentary politician. If the cabinet is not good and can be replaced, if the president is not good, there is no way to mutate, if you want to mutate, it will shake the country's foundation, so we do not take the presidential system, but take the cabinet system. In his diary, he accused Jof of being "close to authoritarian." At this time, Song Dunchu, one of the four heroes of the revolutionary party, was already very compatible with the leader of the Qiao Fu Qiao gang.

In the first year of the republic, the provisional government of Nanking was established, and the first cabinet list submitted by Qiao Fu was not approved, because many people in the party opposed Song Dunchu as secretary of the interior, and some even declared that he had to be expelled from the League. This kind of voice did not completely disappear until Song Dunchu was stabbed.

Later historian Wu Han also synthesized various historical materials and proposed that at that time, Song Dunchu and a kind of constitutionalist backbone had planned to elect Li Yuanlong in a formal presidential election, and Song would be the prime minister as the leader of the majority party in the National Assembly, and he would exclude Qiao Fu from the government. Of course, they only fought for the authority of the small southern court, but they turned a blind eye to the already unified and independent north, perhaps they were too eager to enjoy the fruits of victory and realize their political ideas, even if they were half of the country.

"Defeat the enemy, how did you talk to Dunchu this time?" After Qiao Fu finished his official business, he had dinner with his old friend Huang Kedi in the garden of the presidential palace, Song Meizi's craftsmanship was average, but the secondary processing of the chefs made Qiao Fu and Huang Kedi still enjoy this sumptuous dinner happily. But the pleasure on the tip of the tongue brought by the food cannot hide the decadence of Huang Kedi.

"Brother Qiao, are we all wrong?" Huang Kedi's big belly was round, and he looked like Maitreya was reborn, but he was still very depressed with a sigh, "Dunchu is very intense, he has already made up his mind to take the initiative in this discussion of the political system in the Congress, he and Li Yuanlong are very close, maybe they were instigated by these constitutionalist guys." ”

"No, in the current situation, the cabinet system is equivalent to surrendering the gun." Qiao Fu's face was gloomy, he didn't expect this Song Dunchu to be so stubborn, why didn't he understand that once the north stabilized and Japan's energy was attracted by the situation in Europe, his Wu Chenxuan's hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry would not always wander around the mountains to eliminate those bandits, and there was no need for the Wehrmacht to be here, that is, the 100,000 troops of the Eighth Group Army of the Wehrmacht in southern Anhui, eastern Zhejiang, western Henan and other places were not something that the current armies of the southern provinces could contend with, and once these 100,000 bloodthirsty hungry wolves went south, Does he have to flee with his wife and children, and continue to be his exiled president in Akihabara, Japan.

"Our enemy is the spokesman of the big bourgeoisie, the big comprador and the big landlord in the guise of a revolutionary, and the counter-revolutionary armed forces are already fighting a strong army, while our revolutionary army is still fighting a civil war, and the revolutionary comrades are still killing each other. Now that even the leaders of the revolution are engaged in infighting, how can this revolution succeed? Revolution is not his word at the beginning of Song Dunchu, he wants to be a cabinet, he wants to be the prime minister, he wants to be this family, I Qiaofu abdicated and made way for Xian. ”

"That's what you're talking about, President. The revolution overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty and established a republic under your leadership, and even Wu Chenxuan did not dare to erase your achievements in rebuilding Xuanhuang, and how could he allow a few ill-intentioned fellows in the party to be greedy for heaven's merits, vainly trying to steal high positions and lead the revolution astray. You can rest assured, hundreds of thousands of bright-eyed party members in our party will not follow such party members, they are doomed to fail in engaging in infighting, they are self-isolation from the party, from their comrades, and from themselves..." Wang Zhaoming, who was standing on the side, hurriedly picked up, and was eager to knock Song Dunchu to the ground and step on 10,000 feet so that he would never be able to turn over.

"No need to kill yourself." Hu Chuanru came in, handed the suit and top hat in his hand to the adjutant, sat down and sighed before saying, "It's already gone." ”

Looking at the puzzled eyes of everyone, Hu Chuanru took out the newspaper sold on the street, the familiar word Linxi Bao, but the headline on the front page of this issue was the most eye-catching, with oversized bold characters "The revolutionary party suffered a big rupture, and Song Dunchu established another citizen party."

Qiao Fu's eyes darkened, it seemed that what he was worried about had finally happened, Song Dunchu and other constitutionalists in the party were no longer satisfied with their suppression, and turned to mingle with the constitutionalists who had money, soldiers and territory in society, the constitutionalists of the revolutionary party had experience and reputation in party struggles, and the constitutionalists were mostly local powerful gentry, and they all hoped that local rights could be guaranteed, in other words, it was best for the country's mother-in-law to be a land lord in the shrine, and you should worry less about our family's affairs.

In order to defend against the possible southward movement of Wu Chenxuan in the north, and also in order to one day raise troops to the north and unify the rivers and lakes, oh, it is to unify the rivers and mountains. They had to ignore the interests of the localities and use the name of the central authorities to loot the people's fat and ointment on a large scale, and use money to maintain a huge revolutionary army. Unfortunately, this people are not poor ant people with no roof on their heads, but gentry and powerful people who control a lot of resources and wealth in various places. This kind of tax is passed on to the common people or simply relied on, I Daqing tax arrears are the manifestation of the literati style, there is a tax burden in Jiangnan Prefecture can be in arrears from the prosperous era of Kangqian to the death of Guangxu, if you do not owe taxes for thirty or fifty years, even the guard will look down on you, the four-grade Futai adult.

However, in order to expand their armaments, the revolutionary party is now the root of their life, and it is much more murderous than that of the Qing Dynasty. The red-eyed and green-eyed ones stared at the silver on the ground. So there is this poem:

This is also tax, that is also tax,

East also tax, West also tax,

Everything is taxed,

Republic 10,000 * tax, 10,000 * tax!

Recently new tariffs,

and a gift tax,

Existing gift tax,

And, of course, the gift tax.

Bribery and fraud have been made public,

Bribery and fraud taxes may be considered again.

robbers and thieves,

I'm afraid I have to pay theft tax too.

I really can't help it,

And a few more,

Drew income tax,

Re-draw the lost tax.

Stamp duty, too simple,

There is also a tax on the printing of leaves and branches.

The transaction tax is not enough to draw the transaction tax,

If the business tax is not enough, the business tax will not be drawn.

In addition, the inheritance tax and property tax of the officials and nobles cannot be drawn,

Simply draw the bankruptcy tax and property tax of our little people!

In this case, the dispute between Song Dunchu and Qiao Fu's political system is no longer a simple dispute over the concept of governance, and it is no wonder that the grievances between the two are so deep that Song Dunchu decided to withdraw from the revolutionary party with a little brother, and reorganize the Civic Party with Li Yuanlong, Tang Hualong, Zhang Ji, Zhang Qian, and other local powerful factions to compete for the parliamentary election in July. However, Song Dunchu actually let the newspaper get the news first, and only after making it public, did he write a statement of resignation from the party to Jof, which was undoubtedly a great humiliation for the person concerned when Truman later dismissed MacArthur from the post of commander of the Korean War, MacArthur actually learned the news from the Tokyo Broadcasting Station, and the official message was belated.

Although Qiao Fu did not get angry in public, the careful Song Meizi still found that which of the green tendons on the back of Qiao's neck had begun to spasm, and she had a premonition that there would be a fight between Qiao Fu and Song Dunchu, but she would never have expected that it would be staged in such a fierce and cruel way.
