Chapter 127: The Infiltrated Baath Party

In order to support the development of Fujian, Chen Xuan called Zhang Jingyun, the chairman of the board of directors of Zhenhua, and asked Zhang Jingyun to arrange some factories and enterprises to develop in Fujian as much as possible.

On March 10, Chen Xuan, Tan Kah Kee and the top leaders of the Ba'ath Party went to Shanghai to attend the first Ba'ath Party Congress, which had been confirmed for a long time but had been delayed for various reasons.

The congress was the largest enlarged meeting since the founding of the Ba'ath Party, and delegates from all provinces and Nanyang would attend, and even today's local bigwigs such as Cai Yuanpei, who was on the right side of the party, would attend.

Chen Xuan is full of confidence, now the situation in the country is basically clear, the result of the north-south game can no longer be reversed, Mr. Zhongshan has resigned as interim president on February 12 due to internal and external pressure, he knows that a big war is inevitable, and he is also confident that he will defeat Yuan Shikai's Beiyang army.

In order to be foolproof, he contacted Xiao Jin in Guangdong and Cai Yi in Yunnan through Jiang Zhiqing, and prepared to launch a fatal blow when Yuan Shikai was in Mande, completely sweeping the Beiyang Army and Manchu Qing into the garbage heap of history!

On March 15, the first congress of the Baath Party was officially held.

Cai Yuanpei, Yu Youren, Sun Zhiheng, Ye Zhongyu, Bai Xunjian, Gu Weijun, Zhao Xuechu and others, who have not been seen for a long time, gathered together, plus representatives from all over the country, there are more than 300 people, which is the entire high-level core leading the Baath Party.

At the beginning of the meeting, before Chen Xuan could speak, Shen Yunkun, a representative of Hubei, began to attack Sun Zhiheng and Ye Zhongyu.

"Chairman, Comrade Sun Zhiheng and Comrade Ye Zhongyu have been absent from the country for a long time, but they are in the top echelons, and it can be said that they have no role in the revolution in the country, and for the sake of the normal development of many domestic work, I suggest that these two comrades be temporarily removed from their posts and that people working in the country be elected to facilitate the work of our party."

"What Comrade Yunkun said is reasonable, not that the two comrades are incompetent, but that the two comrades have been away for a long time, which is not conducive to the development of work!"

Shandong's deputies chimed in, and for a time the scene became lively, with some opposing, some approving of it, some whispering, and some remaining neutral.

"Chairman, I think what Comrade Yun Kun said is reasonable, and I am willing to resign as a committee member!"

"I do, too!"

Chen Xuan didn't have time to speak, Ye Zhongyu and Sun Zhiheng had already agreed, and thinking about it, Ye Zhongyu and Sun Zhiheng would still sit in Nanyang in the future, and it was impossible to stay in China for a long time, and Chen Xuan, the foundation of Nanyang, would never give up.

Since the two have resigned from their posts as committee members, they have to be re-elected, and finally Shen Yunkun of Hubei and Fang Xudong of Zhili were elected members.

"Comrade Chairman, I want to impeach Member Du Yuesheng, who manages the archives, because Comrade Du Yuesheng's archives office is not transparent in its finances, the financial statements handed over are vague, and Comrade Du illegally imprisons others and even abuses lynching."

Huang Jian, the representative of Zhili who had just become a member of the committee, began to issue impeachment proposals, and this time it exploded, and Chen Xuan had already expected that the nature of Du Yuesheng's work would naturally not be able to make all the information public, so it was a matter of time before he was impeached, and there was no way to explain these things.

"Quiet! Be quiet! ”

Yu Youren, who supported the meeting, shouted loudly, and the voice at the scene slowly calmed down, and Chen Xuan said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, due to the particularity of Du Yuesheng's work, some of the funds cannot be fully publicized, but I can guarantee that Comrade Du Yuesheng did not embezzle a penny of public funds, nor did he have any waste, as for the illegal imprisonment and abuse of lynching you mentioned, it was also because of work, so I had to rush to power, and when the world was peaceful, you naturally knew the ins and outs of these things!"

There was another uproar at the bottom, and it was obvious that what Chen Xuan said was not enough to convince everyone.

"Chairman, I am also willing to resign as a member of the committee."

Du Yuesheng didn't want to embarrass Chen Xuan, so he took the lead in submitting his resignation, and he also knew that Chen Xuan's next plan must be supported by everyone, and now, most of the people must not be offended.

Although Chen Xuan was a little unhappy in his heart, he could only accept this result, and the big quarrel did not do any good to the unity of the Baath Party, so he also acquiesced, and this time it was a representative from Shanxi who replaced Du Yuesheng's member.

"Everyone!"

Chen Xuan was ready to speak.

"As we all know, since the beginning of the revolution, our Baath Party has made indelible contributions to this uprising, and these have also relied on your fearless and impartial spirit to achieve today's results, and Chen Xuan is also honored!"

There was a round of applause below, yes! How many people abandoned their families and businesses, how many people died in the field, and how many people died silently, leaving no trace, but they all made great contributions to the country.

"The success of the revolution directly ended the Manchu Dynasty, which ruled China for more than 200 years, and also ended the outdated and decadent feudal system for more than 2,000 years.

The applause from the ground was even louder.

However, after the success of the revolution, Yuan in the north relied on his own troops to attack our revolutionaries everywhere, killing countless revolutionaries, and colluding with the strength of the Western powers and local conservatives to kill President Sun and resign! We got the news that in order to gain the support of the Western powers, Beiyang ** did not hesitate to sell the rights and interests of the country's mines and railways, and used ** financial collateral to borrow high-interest sums from Western bankers! In addition, it promised to pay the Manchu royal family 4 million silver every year to feed these parasites, which have been lying on our skinny country for more than 200 years of blood, and the Manchus have also made hardcore crops for more than 200 years, do we still have to continue to raise, when will it be a head? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, what are we abandoning our families and careers to make a revolution in disregard of life and death? In order to establish an independent, prosperous, strong and democratic country, so that the common people can eat and hold their heads up when they go abroad, not to establish a lackey of the Western powers**, I contacted Marshal Xiao Jin of Liangguang and Marshal Cai Ye of Yunnan to launch the Northern Expedition! Comrades, I need your support! With the support of full trust and unreservedness as before, we have the capacity to build a prosperous, strong and great new China, not a corrupt regime that is in the same vein as the Manchu Qing Dynasty! ”

There was a dead silence at the scene, completely shocked by Chen Xuan's words, many people did not expect that this congress was actually another revolutionary mobilization meeting, Zhang Jian, Cai Yuanpei and other literati frowned.

"Comrade Chairman!"

After a long time, Shen Yunkun, a representative of Hubei, slowly spoke.

"We also know what you said, all of us hate the rule of the Manchu Dynasty, but now that the Manchu Dynasty has finally been overthrown, I am afraid that it is impossible to pay no price at all, so that the peaceful solution also avoids the sacrifice of a large number of revolutionary aspirants, these people are the elite talents of the country, wouldn't it be better to use them to build the country? As for loans to Western countries, this point can actually be understood from our point of view, the revolution has been nearly half a year now, the national financial system has long collapsed, if you want to make ** run again, it is naturally impossible to have no money, think about it, naturally there is only one option for loans, and after more than a month of hard negotiations between the north and the south, it was only in exchange for the peace of the country, comrades, I am not speaking for Yuan in Beijing, but please comrades put yourself in their shoes, it is us, I'm afraid that there is only one way to go, so Comrade Chairman, I think everyone should consider your proposal carefully! ”

The whispering voices below were louder, some for and against, Zhang Jian, Cai Yuanpei, Yu Youren and the others still frowned tightly and did not speak, as if they were seriously considering something.

Something happened! If Chen Xuan didn't know that something had happened now, then his political experience in the past few years would have been in vain, and these people led by Huang Jian and Shen Yunkun should have known Chen Xuan's mind for a long time.

So as soon as the meeting began, the spearhead was pointed at Ye Zhongyu, Sun Zhiheng, and Du Yuesheng, and everyone present knew that these three people were Chen Xuan's absolute henchmen.

knows Chen Xuan's big scheme, so dealing with these three people can take advantage of Chen Xuan's psychology that he does not dare to be mad for the time being, and after becoming a member, he will have the right to make proposals instead of just the right to vote, Chen Xuan will give up three committee members one after another, and he will also give others the illusion that Chen Xuan's influence is not as good as before, killing two birds with one stone, the best of both worlds, this is a premeditated activity.

Chen Xuan's eyes were black, he didn't expect that the Baath Party he founded had been infiltrated by others, and if no one had rebelled, Chen Xuan would never believe it.

The sound of the quarrel below is getting louder and louder, at first it was a verbal argument against each other, and then it has begun to be a personal attack, Yu Youren asked everyone to be quiet several times but it didn't work, the quarrel was still noisy, and some people had begun to tear up.

Chen Xuan's face was pale, when did there ever be such an unorganized and undisciplined shrew scolding the street at a meeting of the Ba'ath Party? Even Yu Youren's prestige can't be suppressed?

"Bang!"

Chen Xuan threw the teacup in front of him to the ground and smashed it to pieces, seeing that Chen Xuan's face was not good, the scene gradually quieted down.

"It's really a long skill, the discipline of holding a meeting, of course, there will be different opinions and differences in a meeting, this is also the meaning of a meeting, everyone is discussing, you are all highly educated, people with heads and faces, behaving like fools and fools, what kind of reason is this, has our Baath Party degenerated like this?"
