Sure enough, as Mr. Xu said, Wang Yongan used the expansion of the bureaucratic system to build up his own power. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Yongan continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, the new government will adopt a Western-style modern government management model and a model that conforms to the national conditions of Chinese culture, and governments at all levels are in charge of taxation, people's livelihood, security, case adjudication, agriculture and forestry, industry and commerce, transportation, education, supervision, archives, environment, statistics, health and religion, so the future governments at all levels in Jiangbei will be very busy and need a large number of talents. Therefore, I hereby implore all the elites of Jiangbei to participate in the construction of the government, support the construction of the Jiangbei region and become a model for new China, so that all parts of the country can see what Jiangbei's cultural governance and politics are, and Jiangbei will become a benchmark for China in the future. Ladies and gentlemen, whether it is the Alliance, the Restoration Association, or various organizations, what everyone pursues is nothing more than to be able to lead China to new glories, and the various development methods they choose, and Jiangbei will choose a development model that no one has ever walked through, which I call the development path with Chinese characteristics. ”

Wang Yongan stood up and shouted loudly: "Gentlemen, join the Jiangbei Military Government, become one of us, build New China, and hope that you will not shirk." Your contribution is not for me, nor for yourself, but for the country and the nation. Wang Yongan's impassioned speech resonated with many people, but it also made many old foxes worried, the more tempting the more dangerous, and they didn't know what was waiting for everyone behind.

Wang Yongan knew the thoughts of the gentry and officials present, and in the eyes of these people, it did not matter whether they were loyal to the imperial court or not, and it did not matter whether the revolution was revolutionary or not, but what was important was that their own interests should be protected. And if the people below can be promoted and make a fortune, and follow Wang Yongan to be famous, advantageous, and have a status, how can they not support Wang Yongan?

When this was the case, Wang Yongan looked at everyone with a smile, listening to everyone's excited shouts in support of the establishment of the Jiangbei Military Government, and only felt that his goal today had been fully achieved.

Li Yao took the opportunity to get up and shouted: "We are willing to recommend the marshal as the governor of the Jiangbei Military Government." Luo Yinxian, Xiao Xiangshan, Feng Heng, Han Linchun, Wei Daofeng, etc. also stood up to support, and everyone also stood up to support when they saw this. At this moment, everyone understands that except for Wang Yongan in Jiangbei, no one can be the governor of the capital, and if anyone else, everyone will also feel that this person is not worthy of being the governor of the capital in terms of strength and ability, and the only thing Wang Yongan lacks is age and qualifications.

Wang Yongan got up and thanked him for a week, and then said with a smile: "Thanks to your support and love, but Wang Jingyun knows that he is still young and lacks qualifications, and everyone here is a senior who has struggled all their lives for the rise of China, how can Wang Jingyun take on this heavy responsibility?" The kid has a suggestion, I would like to recommend me Zhang Jian, the champion of Jiangbei, as the governor of Jiangbei. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Wang Yongan to give up the post of metropolitan governor so generously, and today Zhang Jian is no longer in Yangzhou (it takes two days to walk from Nantong to Yangzhou), Wang Yongan is really so kind, or is he tempting everyone? Of course, if Zhang Jian is allowed to be the governor of Jiangbei, no one can jump out of the problem, Zhang Jian has qualifications, status, ability, and has an excellent relationship with the gentry officials and Shilin students in Jiangbei, and Zhang Jian's business empire is also enviable, Zhang Jian, who has strong capital, will not become a corrupt official.

But what if Wang Yongan is testing everyone?

Luo Yinxian and others naturally knew Wang Yongan's decision and gave way to Zhang Jian, Wang Yongan's pursuit was to stabilize the political situation in Jiangbei in order to better deal with the southern expedition of the Beiyang Army. Although the choice of Jiangbei's recovery was a bit hasty, it was the most effective way to solve the Beiyang Army at the moment.

And Zhang Jian has become an important bargaining chip for Wang Yongan to stabilize the political situation in Jiangbei.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I recommend Zhang Jian to serve as the governor of Jiangbei, please raise your hand." After that, Wang Yongan was the first to raise his hand, and then the military people also raised their hands, and there were nearly half of the military people at the banquet, and when they saw more than half of them raising their hands, the others naturally had nothing to say and raised their hands one after another. In this way, Zhang Jian, who was no longer in Yangzhou, became the first person to be the governor of Jiangbei after the recovery.

Later, after the recommendation of everyone, Wang Yongan served as the army chief of the Jiangbei Military Government, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone stood up and applauded in celebration, saying that Wang Yongan, as Minister of War (with the rank of marshal), would certainly be able to lead the people to the success of the Northern Expedition and the establishment of New China -- to tell the truth, if Wang Yongan did not hold an important post, everyone would not dare to be an official.

After a few minutes of rest, the meeting moved to the next link, that is, the stage of forming government administrators, if Zhang Jian was here, it would be formed by Zhang Jian, but unfortunately Zhang Jian did not arrive, so Wang Yongan had to form the Jiangbei government.

Following the example of the cabinet premier's yamen structure, the Jiangbei Military Government directly announced the establishment of 12 ministerial-level government departments and six departmental government departments, which were the Ministry of the Army, the Organization Department, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Auditing, and the Ministry of Culture, while the six departments directly under the Ministry of Salt Affairs, the Water Conservancy Bureau, the Customs Bureau, the Statistics Bureau, the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and the Religious Affairs Bureau.

In addition, the Metropolitan Governor of the Jiangbei Military Government also set up a secretariat, an archives office, a security department, and a general affairs office, and Wang Yongan specially arranged for Wei Wenkang to serve as the secretary general of the Metropolitan Governor's Secretariat, and directly arranged for Zhang Jian to have a staff member and military supervisor.

In addition, before Zhang Jian took office, Wang Yongan appointed Chen Zhaotang as the deputy governor of the Jiangbei Military Government, temporarily acting as the governor of the capital, and concurrently serving as the minister of the interior.

Jiang Dengxuan (who had already been sent to Nanjing) was appointed as vice minister of the War Department at the same time as Luo Yinxian.

Xiao Xiangshan was appointed as Chief Financial Officer.

After Wang Yongan firmly grasped the military power and financial power in his hands, it was equivalent to closely following the lifeblood of the Jiangbei Military Government, and in the future, the Jiangbei Military Government had to rely on Wang Yongan's secret mastermind, and then Wang Yongan continued to directly announce the appointment order:

Xu Dinglin served as Minister of Education.

Shen Yunpei served as Minister of Communications.

Qi Gu served as Minister of Agriculture and Forestry.

Hou Gan served as the head of the Organization Department.

Gu Yanqing served as Minister of Culture.

An Yinlin served as the Director General of Customs.

Houlin served as the director of the Salt Bureau.

Rosen served as director of the Water Resources Bureau.

Shan Qipeng served as the director of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.

Gu He served as the director of the Religious Affairs Bureau.

Wang Ancheng served as the director of the Bureau of Statistics.

At the same time, Wang Yongan announced that he would establish the Jiangbei Regional Assembly Palace, which would be responsible for supervising the Jiangbei Military Government and examining whether the Jiangbei Military Government's administrative orders were subordinate to the Jiangbei people, and that the Jiangbei Parliamentary Office had the only right to refuse to accept the appointment of the Jiangbei Metropolitan Governor to ministers and deputy ministers at all levels and local officials above the county magistrate.

If the formation of the 12 ministries and 6 departments of the military government is the cake for the gentry, then the Jiangbei Parliamentary Office is the most powerful support for the people who pursue reform and modernization in the country, and the Jiangbei model will become an important development direction of reform in the late Qing Dynasty, and Wang Yongan unknowingly became the first person in the reform of China in the late Qing Dynasty.
