The Anqing Military Advisory Office was crowded with people, including Gao Ming, Governor of Jiangxi, Gao Chuguan, Secretary General of Anhui, Gu Nanshan, Governor of Fengtian, Kuang Haishan, Mongolian Reclamation Envoy, Lu Kai, Commander of the Second Division, He Tianshou, Captain of the Commercial Police Corps, Fang Qingyu, Director of the Military Judge Advocate General's Office, Yang Liren, Director of the Industrial Bureau, Wu Jintang, General Manager of Guanghua Group Company, and Gu Weijun, Chief of Staff of the Advance Army??? Almost all of Chai Dongliang's team arrived, and even Gu Nanshan and Kuang Haishan rushed back to Anqing from thousands of mountains and rivers.

Chai Dongliang was wearing the uniform of a lieutenant general, holding his hands behind his back without saying a word, everyone silently passed a telegram, the auditorium was quiet and scary, and everyone could hear their own breathing.

Although no one spoke, Chai Dongliang also heard the sound of heartbreak. This is Sun Wen's secret telegram to Chai Dongliang, asking Anhui, Jiangxi, Fengtian, and [***] to stand, and then send troops from the north and south by land and water to attack Yanjing City.

"Guys, have you seen it? Tell us what you think! Chai Dongliang saw everyone's reaction, and it was as he expected.

Sun Wen is the idol of almost all young people who yearn for revolution, and at this moment, Chai Dongliang has seen the idol fall to the ground from everyone's eyes. Chai Dongliang felt relieved, and the shadow that had been pressing on his head for a long time had dissipated. The worship of Sun Wen has become a thing of the past!

Kuang Haishan said with a solemn expression: "This is an open declaration of war on the political axe of the Republic of China, this is treason!" Does the governor really want to send troops to Yanjing to destroy the republic? ”

Only he can say this, and only he can say it! Kwong Haishan was a staunch supporter of the republic, and in his mind no one could be above the system. Sun Wen can't, Huang Xing can't, Song Jiaoren can't, Yuan Shikai can't??? Even Chai Dongliang, who single-handedly lifted him up, couldn't either!

He Tianshou saw that others were still silent, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Dudu, you have an idea, you said that you will kill Yanjing, I have nothing to say, you said that you destroyed the Kuomintang, I will immediately go back to sharpen my knife??? You are the backbone of our Jianghuai Army, what you say, what we do! ”

Lu Kai suddenly stood up, and after saluting, he said with a solemn expression: "Governor, since the rise of the Republic of China, both the north and the south have refused to sympathize with the people, and the people have made their lives miserable, and the people have begun to chant 'The Republic of China is not as good as the Qing Dynasty', and in the long run, the achievements of the revolution will be ruined, and the Manchu Tartars will also be resurrected!" On the other hand, in Anhui, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and are a model for the world, and the Jianghuai army went out of the north to recover Mongolia and defeated the Yue army, and restored China's rule over Manchuria??? I think that for the sake of the Republic of China and the livelihood of the world, the Governor should give up his illusions about anyone and organization, and unify the whole country by force with the army! Only under your leadership can China embark on the road of becoming a rich country and strengthening its army. ”

"Please unify China by force!" Those present said in unison.

Chai Dongliang felt the joy from the bottom of his heart, Sun Wen's aborted "Reading Power Anti-Yuan Movement" shattered everyone's worship of him, and truly rallied the Jianghuai Army to his side.

"I propose that this telegram be made public so that the world can judge it!" Gao Chuguan's smile had a hint of coldness.

Chai Dongliang waved his hand and said: "Mr. Xiang Yuan doesn't need to say any more, if this telegram is made public, the north and the south will definitely go to war!" When the time comes, the blood will flow like a river, and it will only be the relatives who will be bitter and the enemies will be happy, and the words of unification by force will end here??? Mr. Sun is just lamenting the death of Song Jiaoren and messing up! After all, he is the first hero of the founding of the Republic of China, and I can't bear to ruin his reputation! ”

What he said was lively, but Chai Dongliang's heart blossomed, now is the time for him to show generosity, and if he is unforgiving, if he is forced to force Sun Wen, it will also make his subordinates feel cold??? After all, Sun Wen was once their idol!

From everyone's eyes, Chai Dongliang saw complex expressions such as regret, relief, and annoyance, but almost everyone wrote four words in the eyes of Chai Dongliang: Kindness! Only Fang Qingyu was still expressionless, Chai Dongliang's mind could hide from everyone, but he couldn't hide it.

Sun Wen's most powerful thing is not his military talent, but his huge prestige, even if he fails a hundred times, it doesn't matter, as long as he re-erects the banner, there will naturally be countless heroes and heroes who are willing to fight for him and die for him! But once he loses this weapon, he will no longer have the means to turn the clouds and rain, just an ordinary man!

This secret telegram is Chai Dongliang's most powerful weapon, and it is the most powerful when the arrow is triggered but not fired, Chai Dongliang does not plan to throw him out now, but to choose the most suitable time to find the most suitable person, as long as it is made public, it will become a bombshell and destroy Sun Wen's reputation!

The Kuomintang, which has great potential and many talents, makes Chai Dongliang salivate, and if the two revolutionary leaders Sun Wen and Huang Xing no longer have supreme prestige, then it will be their turn! How to say, Chai Dongliang is also the vice chairman of the Kuomintang, the third person in the Kuomintang??? Although he never took this seriously, it did not prevent him from using this identity for his own purposes.

Now that Chai Dongliang has enough food, if he can pocket this big party with the number one word in the sky, it will really be a flying dragon in the sky, and no one can hold him hostage from now on.

If you want to achieve this goal, you need Sun Wen and Huang Xing to make another big mistake??? In another time and space, they really committed it, but Yuan Shikai didn't seize that opportunity.

If history had not changed at this point, Sun Wen had abandoned the Kuomintang to establish the nondescript Chinese Kuomintang, and Huang Xing had turned against him, then Chai Dongliang's real opportunity had arrived??? This telegram urging Chai Dongliang to announce his reading power and at the same time raise troops against the central political axe, will come in handy!

But until the last resort, Chai Dongliang is really unwilling to make this secret message public, no matter how many mistakes Sun Wen has made, he is the greatest contributor to the creation of the Republic of China after all??? Not one of them!

A nation needs heroes, although Sun Wen has shortcomings, he is rigid and domineering, and his style is also very readable [***], it can almost be said that he is full of problems, but just because he awakens the people to overthrow foreign rule, he deserves the title of a great man!

Gu Weijun stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the program of the national constitutional party has been formulated, and the purpose of our party is to fight for the living space of the nation externally and the dignity of constitutional government internally!" Our Jianghuai Army finally has its own political party, and from now on we are no longer an armed force without a soul, but an army with a unified program and ideology! ”

Gao Ming immediately echoed: "I propose to ask Chai Dudu to be our party leader, and I will be the first to apply to join the party!" ”

"Please make the governor the leader of the party!" Everyone said in unison.

Chai Dongliang shook his head and said: "It is not suitable for me to serve as the leader of the party, in the future, the party affairs will be busy, I will focus on the military and politics and the industry, the country is in ruins, I am covered in iron and can't twist a few nails, if I serve as the leader of the Democratic Constitutional Party again, it will be really exhausting!" ”

"Governor, if you don't serve as the leader of the party, who else is qualified?" Gu Weijun persuaded each other bitterly.

Chai Dongliang smiled: "Shaochuan, you are not bad!" The doctor who stayed in the ocean is young and promising! Besides, our party is based on the principle of upholding the dignity of constitutionalism, and you are a doctor of law from Columbia University and an expert in constitutionalism! I propose that Shaochuan be the leader of the party, do you have any opinions? ”

Seeing that Chai Dongliang said sincerely, it didn't look like a false excuse, so everyone reluctantly agreed.

The current Democratic Constitutional Party is still too weak, what Chai Dongliang really wants is the throne of the leader of the Kuomintang, it is a big party of hundreds of thousands of people, and there are many talents in it, if you can't take it for your own use, I'm really sorry for Master Zu!

Now, what Chai Dongliang needs to do is wait, waiting for Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai to make mistakes, opportunities are not necessarily earned, more often rely on waiting!

Chai Dongliang has this patience, at least he is much younger than them, youth is the biggest capital, Chai Dongliang can afford to wait, Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai may not wait!

??? Dividing line ???

On April 8, 1913, the elections for the Senate and the House of Representatives finally came to an end, and the Kuomintang narrowly overwhelmed the alliance of the Progressive Party and the Republican Party, becoming the largest party in the National Assembly and the first ruling party of the Republic of China to serve as a formal political axe. Although Chai Dongliang voted for Liang Qichao in Anhui and Jiangxi as promised, the Progressive Party still lost to the powerful Kuomintang. This is also a political legacy left by Song Jiaoren to the Kuomintang.

In the eyes of most high-ranking Kuomintang figures, it was a bit out of place to announce a crusade against Yuan Shikai at a time when the National Assembly was about to convene and the KMT was about to win, and most of the elected KMT legislators fantasized about using the National Assembly to limit Yuan Shikai's power.

The opening ceremony of the first session of the National Assembly was indeed lively and exciting. On the night before the opening, the streets near the House of Representatives were already decorated with lights, streamers, and festive colors. Second, the elected members of the Senate and the House of Representatives wore brand-new dresses and walked into the House of Representatives one after another. Perhaps it was the relationship between the "Song case", Yuan Shikai did not attend that day, but only sent Liang Shiyi, secretary general of the presidential office, the prime minister of the cabinet, and the heads of various ministries to congratulate him.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, all the personnel of all parties had arrived, and Gu Ao, a member of the preparatory committee of the National Assembly, announced the opening ceremony, and first fired a 108-gun salute before the representatives of all parties spoke. Subsequently, Liang Shiyi, secretary general of the Presidential Office, also took Yuan Shikai's congratulatory message and read it in a trembling voice: "The official establishment of the first National Assembly of the Republic of China is a great glory in the history of more than 4,000 years, and the happiness of 40,000,000 people for hundreds of millions of years. Shikai is also a member of the people, and he should be deeply fortunate with all the gentlemen. After speaking, Liang Shiyi raised his hands and shouted the slogan: "Long live the Republic of China!" Long live the Congress of the Republic of China! Liang Shiyi raised his hand, and the parliamentarians in the audience also responded, the slogan was deafening, and the atmosphere of the venue reached the first level.

After the opening of the National Assembly, the first thing to do was to elect the chairman and vice president, and the Senate and House of Representatives at that time were divided into two factions, which were fiercely contested: the Kuomintang faction, and the Republican Party, the Myongchu Party, and the United Party were the other faction. These congressmen held many preparatory meetings and made a fuss for more than half a month before they could be able to get the detailed rules of procedure and the rules for electing the chairmen and vice chairmen of the parliament in order. In the subsequent Senate election, Kuomintang Senators Zhang Ji and Wang Zhengting were elected as the chairman and vice speaker respectively; In the election of the House of Representatives, Tang Hualong, a member of the Ming Cook Party, was elected speaker, and Chen Guoxiang, a Republican congressman, was elected vice speaker, and the two sides were basically tied.

When the "Song case" came to a standstill and the congressmen were busy with the election, Yuan Shikai was not idle. He is planning a major event at the moment, that is, the problem of "big loans for the aftermath" that the previous two cabinets did not do well. Yuan Shikai, with his many years of political experience, had long anticipated a showdown with the revolutionaries, so he needed to raise enough funds to fight the war. After all, no matter what the circumstances, no matter what the situation, it is always impossible to do without money.

In any case, the establishment of the first official political axe marked the beginning of a new chapter for the Republic of China, and the newborn baby was finally recognized by the world.

Will this newly-born republic die at an early age as in its original history, or will it grow up to dominate the eastern shores of the Pacific Ocean??? All this is still unknown!
