Chapter 1338: Where Did the Military Power Go?

Yelu Aolu, the king of Eastern Liao, colluded with the Jurchens and the Great Song Dynasty to rebel and attack the summer palace where Wu Haogu and Xiao Se were located, resulting in a fire in the summer palace, and Wu Hao Gu and Xiao Se Se were missing, and the bad news that they were suspected of being killed was brought back to Tianjin by Wu Chenglan, the governor of Chengde Prefecture, as soon as possible.

When the news arrived, it was late at night on the second day of the first month of August, and it was the Feng of Shangshu Zhang of the Ministry of War who was on duty at the government office of the ruling government at that time. Rao is both civil and military, and he has been in charge of Nanyang Province for many years, and after listening to Wu Chenglan's bad news, he was also so frightened that he sat on the rose chair, stunned for a long time, unable to speak.

When Zhang Dashangshu came to his senses, he immediately jumped up, and ordered the secretary on duty to copy Wu Chenglan's report for a few minutes, and send two copies to the left and right ministers' mansions, and one to the senate. Then he pulled Wu Chenglan, who had already been out of order, and went straight to the Wuhao Ancient Mansion!

The sky of the republic may be about to fall!

The country founded by Wu Haogu is unprecedented in China for two or three thousand years!

The Great Zhou is not a family country with one surname, but a country where the world is a public one. In other words, the position of the head of state is not hereditary by the descendants of Wu Haogu, but by the election of the Senate.

There is a problem here, Wu Haogu cannot designate a successor to the Führer! His own head of state was not for life, but every five years, elected by the Senate. Although the probability of him not being selected is close to zero, it is different with this program!

In that election three years ago, Wu Haogu even arranged an opponent for himself......

Such a system was nothing when Wu Haogu was alive, he was the father of the republic, a great Confucian in the world, and the number one rich man in the world. Rich, powerful, and famous. And there is a huge group around him, like the sun of the republic, irreplaceable.

So the Führer and the Emperor, for him there is no difference.

But if Wu Haogu is really gone, who will be the head of the republic?

Although Wu Haogu's sons are all adults, none of them are patriarchs - according to the "Covenant Law" of the Republic, the head of state should be produced among the senators!

They are not even patriarchs, can they become the head of state in one step?

And...... There is more than one son of the Wu family who is qualified to inherit the political status of Wu Haogu. The three sons of the "Yi" generation are theoretically all sons-in-law, and they have all become years. Among them, the eldest son Wu Yiyong and the second son Wu Yixin are still leading the troops outside!

If the two of them are princes, they can probably lead the troops back to Tianjin to seize the throne, right? But now they are the sons of the Führer......

The son of the Führer, can he lead the army to seize the throne? This is the destruction of the republic and blatant treason!

Although the third son, Wu Yijiu, did not lead the troops, he was in Tianjin. Moreover, his mother Pan Qiaolian is the wife of Wu Haogu, and she controls the internal account office of the martial arts family with huge assets.

The inner account room can control the Bank of Tianjin, and can use tens of millions of taels of huge funds at any time! Even if you spend money to buy it, you can buy a Führer, right?

In addition to the three sons-in-law of the samurai family, there are many giants in the Senate. For example, Zhao Zhongge, Murong Parrot, Ma Zheng, Ximen Anguo, Zhang Xizai and others are also qualified to become the head of state!

In addition, Mi Youren, who has been pounding back and forth in the position of the left and right phases for many years; Su Guo who changed from learning valve to right phase; Zhang Xizai, the presiding senator of the Senate; The No. 2 Monopoly of the Great Zhou, the patriarch Su Dalang, seems to be qualified to win the throne of the head of state!

These people are all veterans, and their qualifications are very old, they also belong to two parties in the Senate, and there are many protégés and former officials in the military, politics, and financial circles, aren't they more qualified than Wu Haogu's three sons?

The head of state is originally the public in the world, and he can be a martial artist without a surname!

But so many people can be the head of state, and there is only one throne for the head of state! If everyone wants to be it, won't they have to break their heads?

The sky of the Great Zhou Kingdom won't really fall, right?

……

I don't know if the sky of the Great Zhou will collapse, but the sky of the ancient house of Wuhao has come to a big collapse.

As soon as Wu Chenglan and Zhang Zhifeng arrived, as soon as they told the bad news, Pan Qiaolian immediately fainted. Although Ximen Qing, Du Wenyu, and Bai Feifei did not faint, they all cried like tears, and they had no opinions.

However, Wu Haogu's "female knight" Olga was more calm, and made a suggestion with tears in her eyes: "Eldest sister, now the eldest brother and the second brother are not in Tianjin, and only the third brother is in the army in the fortress on the south bank. The slave immediately brought someone to fetch him back......"

Among the three sons in law of the martial family, the most qualified to inherit the political status of Wu Haogu is Wu Yijiu! Now he is the only one in Tianjin, if he is killed, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Because Pan Qiaolian was dizzy, the object of her proposal was Concubine Ximen Qing. Sister Simon also cried, but she didn't faint after all.

When Ximen Qing heard her say that, she didn't howl anymore, wiped her tears and said: "Sister Ao, now that Mrs. is dizzy, I am in chaos, and the guards at home don't know how to arrange it, you have to leave again, what should I do......"

As she spoke, she glanced at Wu Chenglan and Zhang Zhifeng in the inner hall.

Zhang Zhifeng is the secretary of the military department, although he does not have the right to transfer troops, he can always say hello to the defense envoys of the fortress on the south bank. So he said: "Ximen Niang, let's go to the South Bank Fortress, and the mansion still needs to be guarded by Ao Niang." ”

Olga is also a knight of the Great Zhou Republic, and has always been one of the two "housekeepers" by Wu Haogu's side. The guards of the mansion are also in charge of her and Luo Hanwen.

Now that Luohan is gone, she naturally has to rely on her to protect the martial family's mansion!

However, what the guards in the samurai mansion can do now, that is, to protect the mansion from being attacked by Xiaoxiao, and to seize control of Tianjin City, is completely insufficient.

When Zhang Zhifeng hurriedly went to pick up Wu Yijiu and go home, Pan Qiaolian was finally rescued by the doctor in the house.

When I woke up, I cried, and I got rid of a sister Pan made of water.

It was still Ximen Qing who had some ideas, appeased "Sister Pan" and several other sisters, and took it upon himself to spend 100,000 taels of silver from the inner account room and hand it over to Olga to reward the guards.

Later, people went to invite Zhao Zhongge, Mi Youren, Ximen Anguo, Murong Yu, Zhang Xizai and others.

While waiting for several bigwigs and Wu Yijiu to go home, Ximen Qing called Wu Chenglan to the study to inquire carefully.

After asking about the situation, the complexion on her face improved slightly.

"That is, life and death are uncertain...... Ximen Qing gritted his silver teeth and said, "There are a lot of guards around the Führer, and there are many routes to retreat from the summer palace, so it will not really let Ao Lu Wei fight!" ”

Wu Chenglan nodded, "What Mrs. Ximen said is, it's just ......"

I'm just not afraid of 10,000, just in case!

Entering Xinghua County is also one of the retreat routes......

"What about the eldest brother and the second brother?" Ximenqing asked, "Can you come back?" ”

Wu Chenglan was stunned and looked at Ximen Qing, "Ximen Niang, can't they come back...... They are leading troops outside, and they are a constraint on the elders and princes of Tianjin!

The elders and princes of Tianjin, although they are highly respected, have no military power! ”

was reminded by the old man Wu Chenglan, and Ximen Qing also woke up a little.

Wu Haogu's political arrangement is actually very ingenious!

Although the Senate held the supreme power, it could pass laws, impeach and appoint rulers, declare war, pass budgets, pass peace treaties, and so on.

But...... To become a veteran, you must quit active service in the army!

That is, the patriarchs cannot directly control the power of the army! There is no military power in terms of troop transfer, troop command, or military power.

At the same time, the main force of the army of the republic is the citizen soldiers, and most of the officers are standardized personnel trained by military academies.

Citizen soldiers are not financially dependent on military leaders, and standardized officers who have graduated from military schools can rotate regularly in different units, making it difficult to form individual forces - those second-generation citizen soldiers who have studied will not obey the orders of officers.

Therefore, although the republican army did not use the term of civil and military force, the control of the republican army by the senate and the civilian government of the republic far exceeded the control of the Song army by the Great Song court.

Therefore, the senators did not have a completely obedient army in their hands, at least not in theory!

And actually...... If Wu Yiyong and Wu Yixin lead tens of thousands of troops, even the veterans who have considerable influence in the army must think clearly.

It's just that Wu Yiyong and Wu Yixin are outside, but they have been a stepping stone for Wu Yijiu to come to power, and they are always a little unwilling!

"Ximen Niang," Wu Chenglan naturally knew what Ximen Qing was thinking, "The head of state of the republic only has a five-year term...... Several young masters can take turns.

Now if we can't unite as one, I'm afraid that the throne of the Führer will go to someone else! ”

"But the third brother is not an elder......"

"It's hard for Zhang Shangshu, he is an expert in the law, and he will always find a way to get the third brother elected. Again...... There is money in the inner account room! Most of the merchants and citizens in Tianjin also support the martial arts, if everyone can't use soldiers, isn't it more than money? ”

……

At the same time, I don't know how many well-informed characters in Tianjin are going to be sleepless all night!

South of the founding of the Republic, this is the first time that such a crisis has been encountered!

Most likely, the Führer is dead!

So who will be the next Führer?

Theoretically, it is possible for all the senators to be the Führer......

Is there any other way to be the head of state than to elect? Can you send troops to grab a head of state?

The state of Zhou did not strictly manage the matter of private accumulation of force, including Wu Haogu, and the elders of each family had a bit of force in their hands. But it's dozens or hundreds, and there can be two or three hundred in the sky. It is not enough to stand in front of the citizen army of the republic!

As for some of the veterans from the army, there are many protégés. However, the officers of the Zhou Republican Army were constantly rotating, and no one could control a unit for a long time. And in the process of rotation, officers from various mountain backgrounds were mixed.

In addition, most of the soldiers below are citizens, who have been brainwashed by republican ideas since childhood, and think that they are the masters of the republic, how can they be loyal to a certain senator?

That is, Wu Haogu himself has a little bit of a fake army, and the number is not large, and he is not in Tianjin, so he "disappeared" with him.
