In the Anqing Military Advisory Office, Gu Weijun, the leader of the Democratic Constitutional Party, listened respectfully to Chai Dongliang's face-to-face lecture like a primary school student.

"Shaochuan, the most loyal voters are the peasants, the people in the city are lively, or the peasants are the most sincere, if they support a party, they will have generations of children and grandchildren vote for this party to go to the countryside to canvass votes, don't dress so well, the more simple the better, as long as the clothes are not patched, don't talk too much about political ideas with the peasants, take off your bare feet to help them plant seedlings for an afternoon, than you do a hundred speeches are effective"

"The elders of the tribe in the countryside, you must be courteous to them, as long as they are willing to support you, a family's votes have been won, and there must be a few people in your election team who can speak various dialects, and when chatting with the peasants, use their local dialects, and they will treat you as their own."

Chai Dongliang kept teaching him the secret of canvassing votes, although Gu Weijun is an expert in constitutionalism, he is really not familiar with the real set of canvassing votes. Chai Dongliang's saliva splashed, and Gu Weijun nodded frequently when he listened.

"Shaochuan, Yuan Shikai himself was dizzy, and it was just a matter of dissolving the Congress, and he also dissolved the Kuomintang. No matter how the world develops in the future, or the world of party politics, if you can do what I told you, our Democratic Constitutional Party will be able to prosper forever in this year's district and county elections, which is the first time that the Democratic Constitutional Party has participated in local elections.

Gu Weijun didn't know where Chai Dongliang's self-confidence came from, but since following him, the power of the Jianghuai Army has gradually expanded from Anhui Province to Anhui, Jiangxi, Mongolia, Feng, and Hubei Provinces, and Hunan with Feng Guozhang as the governor, Guangdong with Lei Zhenchun as the governor, and Jiangsu with Cheng Dequan as the governor, are all the only ones who look forward to Chai Dongliang. Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou and other provinces also sent envoys to show goodwill to the Anqing Military Advisory Office.

Chai Dongliang basically controlled the south of the Yangtze River and the northern part of the Saibei region, and his power steadily overwhelmed the Beiyang, and Yuan Shikai was not far from falling apart except in the name of a central government.

Gu Weijun admires Chai Dongliang to death, this is the governor of the army, industry, people's livelihood, including party building, he has a very good set, and he almost didn't see him take any detours and make any big mistakes, so he also believed Chai Dongliang's words.

The methods used by Chai Dongliang to solicit votes were only common knowledge in Asian constitutional countries and regions in later generations, and Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has firmly grasped the rural electorate and has become the ruling party for almost 10,000 years, and the number of election defeats is only a handful. After 30 or 40 years in power, voters got bored and tried to switch to the DPJ, and it turned out that there was no party in Japan that could replace the LDP.

The other parties have not had the opportunity to govern for a long time, so there is an extreme shortage of administrative talents, and even if they win the election by chance, there are no outstanding talents who can make good political achievements.

It is precisely because of the Liberal Democratic Party's long-term stay in power that although the Japanese prime minister has been replaced twice in three days, it has been able to ensure that the continuity of the policy will not be overly affected. It took only 30 years for Japan to go from a piece of rubble after World War II to the world's second largest economy.

Chai Dongliang's favorite country, Sweden, has also been ruled by the Social Democratic Party for a long time, and a small Nordic country has been built into a paradise on earth. The experience of Japan and Sweden shows that the existence of a legitimate opposition party is the most advantageous monitoring tool for the ruling party to dare not slacken. Based on the experience of later generations, Chai Dongliang understood a truth: A parliamentary system in which hundreds or thousands of small parties are entangled with each other is absolutely not suitable for a big country, especially a country like China, where more than 90 percent of the population is agricultural. As long as the ruling party remains unchanged, it doesn't matter if the prime minister changes every three or two days, if the ruling party changes every three or two months, then all policies cannot be implemented smoothly, and this kind of internal friction is a price that China cannot afford.

In the parliamentary system of a big country, either two parties take turns and one party will be in power for at least four to five years, or a party with superior strength will be in power for a long time, and a group of opposition parties will be overseeing and waiting for an opportunity to replace it. Although Japan's Liberal Democratic Party and Sweden's Social Democratic Party are not as good as before, and Japan and Sweden have also produced many social ills due to the aging of their populations caused by excessive social welfare and low fertility rates, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Social Democratic Party have led these two countries on the road to development, and with a large number of world-class enterprises, the country's economy has laid a deep-rooted foundation.

But no matter what kind of system it is, the existence of the legitimate opposition party is indispensable, and letting the party supervise itself is like letting Lao Tzu supervise his son, is there a fart?

While the two were talking, a young man wearing glasses with high myopia and a gray tweed coat walked in.

"A goose? Is there something wrong? Chai Dongliang asked.

The person who came was none other than He Haiming, the acting commander of the Yuan Army, who was known for his ruthlessness and ruthlessness, who had resisted the three-way army of Zhang Xun, Feng Guozhang and Lei Zhenchun with 5,000 lone troops and guarded Nanjing City for more than 20 days.

He Haiming's glasses were as thick as the bottom of a wine bottle, and he walked almost silently, with a cold aura around him, which made people shudder. Almost all the generals in the Jianghuai army have nothing to do with him, and this guy feels very uncomfortable.

The people around Chai Dongliang, Yang Bangzi, the director of the Department of Public Security, is a yin person, this guy has a honey-bellied sword in front of his brother to dig out a guy behind his back, and Fang Qingyu, the deputy captain of the commercial police corps, is also a yin person, this guy is ruthless, and he cares about his own life and the lives of others. But it is not as good as He Haiming's natural ruthlessness, this guy is like a wild wolf, he has an instinctive instinct for danger, when guarding Nanjing, he doesn't know how many people he killed, and anyone he thinks may defect is washed away by him without hesitation. It was later verified that although there was also a wronged person, most of them were not wronged

"Governor, the yamen of the Independent Commission Against Corruption has been built, and the personnel are all personally selected by me, please inspect the governor." He Haiming said expressionlessly.

Chai Dongliang waved his hand and said: "No need, I don't have to worry about you doing things, but in the end of my words, the Independent Commission Against Corruption is directly under my leadership, and I have the power to supervise and review any official, but it is absolutely not allowed to abuse lynching. ”

He Haiming smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I have already consulted Director Yang, and he has taught me a variety of ways to confess without punishment." ”

Chai Dongliang smiled dumbly, Yang Bangzi was afraid that he had made a mistake, maybe one day in the future, the methods he taught He Haiming would be used on himself. When Yang Bangzi served as the director of the police department in Tianjin and Shanghai, there were rumors that he was collecting money, but in the past, this guy was not under his own jurisdiction, and Chai Dongliang didn't bother to ask, but now he serves as the director of the security department of the Jianghuai Patrol Embassy.

Chai Dongliang smiled: "Yiyan, sit down and drink a cup of tea." ”

He Haiming shook his head: "Governor, I still have official business, if you don't have anything else to explain, I'll go on an errand first." ”

Chai Dong nodded and said, "Okay, business is important, you can go." ”

After He Haiming left, Gu Weijun was puzzled: "Governor, we have a police department, a council bureau, and what are we going to do with a separate Independent Commission Against Corruption?" ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "The affairs of the National Police Department are very complicated, and although the Anti-corruption Bureau has been quite effective, they often find out the corrupt officials in the government, which is also a huge damage to the image of our Military Advisory Office, and the people will lose confidence in us after a long time." The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is an independent department, and has no subordinate relationship with other yamen, but is only responsible for supervising officials, and many corrupt officials can be dug up by them and brought to justice before the Council finds out, so as not to affect the authority of the government. ”

Gu Weijun nodded again and again, then got up and said goodbye: "What the governor said is reasonable, I'll arrange it"

Chai Dongliang smiled and said: "Shaochuan, do it well"

As soon as Gu Weijun went out, he collided with Gao Chuguan, who was in a hurry.

"Mr. Xiangyuan, what's wrong?" Chai Dongliang asked.

Gao Chu Guan Xi said: "Dudu, good news, good news"

"Oh, what's the good news?"

"Duan Zhigui quietly escaped from Wuhan last night, and now his whereabouts are unknown, and the defenders in the city invited Tang Hualong to enter the three towns of Wuhan."

Chai Dongliangyun said lightly: "I have already guessed that Duan Zhigui is just a flatterer, with 6,000 Beiyang troops commanding 50,000 Hubei troops, can he stay in a lonely city without chaos?" However, after a few months of siege, the three towns of Wuhan are probably choked by these soldiers, and this aftermath is the most important thing."

Gao Chuguan bowed his head and said: "Yes, restoring the people's livelihood is naturally the first priority, and the governor's love for the people makes Chuguan admire." ”

Chai Dongliang smiled and said: "Mr. Xiang Yuan has a good reputation, now China's four largest arsenals, Shanghai, Anqing, Nanjing, and Hanyang are all under our control, Beiyang's financial resources are withering and the army's heart is floating, I think it is time to unify the world." ”

Gao Chuguan pondered for a moment and said: "The matter is big, let's gather everyone to discuss, after all, Yuan Shikai still occupies the position of the central government, once the war starts, will the people of the world think that we are fighting against the central government with a local place." ”

Chai Dong nodded and said, "It's good to discuss." ”

Gao Chuguan continued: "Governor, in my opinion, if we attack Yuan Shikai now, the generals of Beiyang are likely to unite because of the pressure of the Jianghuai army, if we ignore them, Beiyang loses external pressure, and the internal strife will be more serious. ”

Chai Dongliang shook his head and said: "Time is running out, if you miss the opportunity, once the European war starts, the great powers have no time to look eastward, I am afraid that Japan will take the opportunity to invade our China, and if I send troops to defend against the enemy, it is likely that I will face the attack of the Japanese and Beiyang." ”

Gao Chuguan gasped and asked in a low voice, "Dudu, do you think that a big war will really break out in Europe in the near future?" ”

Chai Dongliang said categorically: "Definitely, I dare to conclude that it will be this summer" v! ~！
