In the middle of the day, a war with heavy thunder and small rains gradually turned into a farce. The Okuma Shigenobu cabinet unexpectedly collapsed, and the last political force that dared to stand up to the army and Yamaguchi Aritomo collapsed. Surprisingly, Shigenobu Okuma did not fall because of the blows of Aritomo Yamaguchi and the Army, but he stepped down voluntarily. On the contrary, Yamaprefecture Aritomo also supported Okuma Shigenobu for the first time and supported him to continue to govern. It's just that Okuma Shigenobu himself has the "shame culture" gene in his bones, and he is unwilling to serve as prime minister.

The navy headed by Gonbei Yamamoto and Prince Fushiminomiya was first and foremost dealt a heavy blow because of the "Siemens incident," so much so that whenever the navy mentioned the issue of military spending in the Diet, the entire government would think that the navy was planning to embezzle. In the battle of Dagukou, the navy once again showed its incompetence, not to mention sinking four transport ships by air raids, and also sinking one battleship, the Chinese navy's small fleet of two cruisers was able to penetrate deep into Tokyo Bay to sneak attack the sea transportation line, and for a time it was said that the sea was full of rumors, and any small target that appeared on the sea would be mistaken for the Chinese navy that had come to sneak attack.

Politicians from the navy and politicians from the Taisho era brought about their own demise, and the second leader of the Yama Prefecture, Terauchi Masatsu, became the new prime minister of the cabinet as he wished, and the strength of the army swelled to the limit.

Yuan Shikai was exposed by the press because of his collusion with the newspaper, and he was also disgraced, and he saw that the throne of the president was also unstable. A small-scale war, two political leaders who tried to rely on waging war to divert domestic contradictions, both lifted stones and shot themselves in the foot, and Okuma Shigenobu and Yuan Shikai can be said to have the same fate.

Britain and the United States are vying to play the role of mediators between China and China, but neither of China and China has made a clear statement, and the sound of guns and cannons has stopped, as if this matter is going to pass in such a muddle, and no war has been declared anyway, so there is no talk of signing any armistice agreement.

The sandpiper and the clam competed for the fisherman's profit, and on the side of the company, Terauchi Masayi became the winner, stepping on the footprints of his elder brother Katsura Taro, and became the prime minister. On the Chinese side, Chai Dongliang has become a direct beneficiary, and the call for him to be the president to end the chaos in the early years of the Republic of China has been rising wave after wave.

Unlike Terauchi Zhengyi, who was busy serving as prime minister, Chai Dongliang was not in a hurry, and returned to Anqing directly from Dagukou, hiding in the Military Advisory Office, and did not see any parliamentarians and constitutionalist veterans who petitioned and lobbied. Only a few celebrities such as Gu Weijun and Liang Qichao were arranged to receive them.

Liang Qichao has been looking for him for a few days, and he can't stand to accompany the smiling face every day, thinking about what kind of reputation he Liang Zhuo has? Usually it is said that others are crying and shouting to see themselves, where is the time to chat with these cats and dogs?

Liang Qichao's mouth was dry when he accompanied the guests, and in a fit of anger, he ran to Chai Dongliang's office and went directly to him.

"What do you think, Dudu? The legal system of the political axe of the Republic of China is unprecedentedly pure in three thousand! First there is the abdication edict of the Qing court, and then there is the support of the Southern Revolutionary Party and the constitutionalists, do you really plan to attack Yanjing City and kill the sky and the dark before stopping? Liang Qichao felt that Chai Dongliang was a little unreasonable.

"Ren Gong, please take a seat!" Chai Dongliang greeted politely, he was much younger than Liang Qichao, and the word Zhuo Ru who called Liang Qichao was obviously a little disrespectful, so he called him Rengong.

The guards brought tea, and the Lu'an melon skin before the rain showed a fragrance, and it showed the tender green in the glass.

Liang Qichao was so anxious that he didn't have the heart to taste tea at all, and continued to ask, "What is your idea?" You know, the form of this world is fleeting! Two years ago, Sun Wen's fame was worth a million troops, but now he can't even beat a pawn, and he is just alone. Half a year ago, Yuan Shikai was like Zhongtian, and now he has broken the streets of Yanjing City. At the time of Wuchang's first uprising, Li Yuanhong was regarded as the destiny of heaven because he responded to the proverb of "Burning Cake Song" "61 people don't know, mountains and rivers meet", but what about today? Imprisoned in Yingtai, who still takes him seriously? Don't look at you now that you are supported by all the people, if you make a mistake for a while, the future is also worrying! ”

Chai Dongliang laughed: "What Ren Gong said is reasonable!" The people are immature and easy to listen to the wind and rain, so politicians are too easy to be easily trusted by them, and too easy to be easily abandoned by them! That's why I don't want to go to Beijing now! Has Ren Gong ever thought about whether this congress will be reopened if I went to Yanjing? ”

Liang Qichao was puzzled: "That's natural, don't say that our Republic of China is a republic, even if it is a constitutional monarchy, it can't be without the Congress." ”

Chai Dongliang took a sip of tea and said: "Since Ren Gong understands this truth, he should know why I don't go to Yanjing!" ”

The drum does not need a heavy hammer, Liang Qichao thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Are you worried about being bound by the "Temple of Heaven Constitutional Grass"? ”

Chai Dong nodded and said: "Ren Gong knows me, don't tell lies in front of real people, I am a person who wants to do things, if according to the "Temple of Heaven Constitution", I can't even make the decision about adding a chair to the presidential palace, what else can I do?" ”

Liang Qichao nodded and said: "That's right, Kyushu is a nation, there are many constitutional countries, I have never seen a constitution with such great power in Congress, not to mention that the president is powerless, even the judicial power of the court must be interfered by Congress, it is simply unreasonable!" The reason why Yuan Shikai braved the world's condemnation to dissolve the National Assembly and dissolve the Kuomintang is probably also related to the fact that he has ambitions and is depressed in his heart. ”

Chai Dongliang smiled and said, "Since Ren Gong knows this, he still wants to roast me on the fire?" This president is not easy to be! ”

Liang Qichao was also in trouble, frowning and said: "This is also difficult, if you implement the constitution formulated by Yuan Shikai, the elites of the world will try their best to oppose it, you will become the second Yuan Shikai, if you implement the "Temple of Heaven Constitution", you will not be able to do anything??? If the country is safe and secure, of course, the president can be a rubber stamp, but now that the strong enemy is looking around, and the country is in ruins, it is necessary to have a promising leader to lift the spirit of the whole people and lead the country to prosperity and strength. ”

Chai Dongliang also said with a straight face: "What Ren Gong said is right, I have always suppressed the power of the Provincial Council Bureau in Anqing, which is to prevent things from being delayed for a long time and passing the buck." If I go to Yanjing, the Congress will play against me, ignore them, they represent the elite of the world, if the Senate is allowed to dominate and the executive power and judicial power are deprived of everything, then what kind of country is it called? I might as well stay in Anqing. ”

"And you're going to do this? What if Yuan Shikai dies of illness? Wait until the northern heroes join the warlords and start a scuffle, and then you come out to clean up the situation? ”

"I'm not so lacking in morality, Ren Gong should know me, I'm not the kind of person who is ruthless! Otherwise, wouldn't it be more convenient for me to raise troops to level the Beiyang in one fell swoop? It's just that there are a lot of local powerful factions in the country, and if you want to level the world, you can't do it without a year or two of hard work, but if you fight a civil war for two years, the country will be over! Chai Dongliang couldn't help but think of the tragic situation in Yangzhou, Xu Baoshan's salt lord entered the city only half of the time, and Yangzhou was destroyed by a small half. Not to mention that the Huaishang army attacked Anqing, and it took Chai Dongliang more than three months to re-stabilize the market in just one day of fighting.

During the Xinhai Revolution, the scale of fighting in various places was generally not too large, only a few tough battles were fought in Wuhan, but even so, the achievements of the New Deal in the last ten years of the Qing Dynasty were all destroyed. Not to mention that the silver deposits in the provincial treasury were looted, and the common people were increased countless taxes, and the withering of people's livelihood was far better than that of the late Qing Dynasty. Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai had to rely on borrowing from foreigners to barely support.

The destructive power of the civil war is too great!

"Chai Dudu, what kind of medicine are you selling in the gourd?" Liang Qichao was really in a hurry.

Chai Dongliang smiled faintly: "Beiyang has already made concessions, I will wait for the eight hundred Arhats of the Congress to make concessions as well, otherwise, I would rather not enter Yanjing." ”

Liang Qichao shook his head and said, "Will they make concessions?" I think it's a little difficult! ”

Chai Dongliang sneered: "They will, I firmly believe in this!" ”

In Chai Dongliang's information, the eight hundred Arhats were tempted by Cao Kun's silver ticket and quickly transformed into five hundred pigs, and the stubbornness of these guys is very doubtful.

What's more, Chai Dongliang still holds a trump card, he is now the acting chairman of the Kuomintang, and he is the number one person in the party. And the Kuomintang members made up the majority in the Congress, and even if it was for the benefit of the party, they would agree to draw up a constitution that would satisfy Chai Dongliang.

At the beginning, Chai Dongliang was given the title of director of the Kuomintang by Song Jiaoren in a daze, and now he is about to play a role!

More than half of the 800 Arhats in the National Assembly have gone to Anqing, especially the Kuomintang legislators, almost more than ninety percent of them are in Anqing, relying on subsidies from the Military Advisory Office to live a good life of having a car, food and fish. If you dare to disobey, then cancel the subsidy and let them fend for themselves!

Chai Dongliang sighed secretly in his heart, it is still the old saying, where power comes from, loyalty is there, none of these congressmen are elected by the people, and of course they will not take into account the interests of the people.

These parliamentarians who go in and out of the eight alleys all day and spend a lot of money to support the bitches, it is conceivable that Yuan Shikai is hard and uses soldiers to coerce, they don't eat this set, so there are eight hundred arhats with hard bones, Cao Kun brought silver dollars, and when his black eyes saw the silver money, his bones immediately softened, and he obediently became five hundred pigs.

When the country is stable, it is time to completely reshuffle the Diet and the election of members, and it is time for these pigs to get out??? Chai Dongliang secretly made up his mind in his heart.

At the moment, these pigs still have to be well maintained, and they must be fed with some feed, and they will be fed for nothing!

Now, it's to be more than the surname of Nai, as long as their Nai surname is a little better than these pigs in Congress, the position of a member of Congress is far more attractive to them than the little feed in the pig trough!
