Chairman Chen Ke seems to have something on his mind recently, since he wrote the "Book of Killing Cixi", Chairman Chen Ke often pondered every day, even if he wrote something, he burned it after he finished writing. Although Chairman Ping Suri Chen always has a similar appearance before planning major events, this time the planning is inevitably too long. For a whole week, Chairman Chen was like this. Since most of the cadres of the central government have gone to work in other provinces, the remaining few are also in the localities. And those who stayed in Fengtai County were all clerks, so this situation did not cause more suspicion.

When Chen Ke began to summon the main leading cadres in Anhui Province to return to Fengtai County, the staff saw the clues. Something big must happen to this base.

In fact, after Qi Huishen, Yan Fu, and Yuwen Badu, who were only enough to vote, were assembled, everyone was surprised to find that Feng Xu, a middle-level cadre in the civil service, also attended the meeting. When everyone sat down, Chen Ke directly threw a big bomb in front of his comrades. "I'm going to talk to Beiyang again."

This is not unusual, the first cooperation between the People's Party and Beiyang has worked very well, and more than 100,000 tons of steel and metal products produced by Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant have greatly met the massive demand of the base area. After Chen's next narration, there was a brief silence in the room. The three-minute silence made the guards can't help but turn their heads to look into the venue. Everyone wanted to say something, but they couldn't say anything.

After a long time, Zhang Yu asked in a voice that could be said to have bad intentions: "Chairman Chen, do you mean that we have spent so much effort to help Yuan Shikai to the stage?" ”

"It's not about helping Yuan Shikai to the stage, but letting Yuan Shikai face reality." Chen Ke immediately gave Zhang Yu a powerful counterattack.

"But this result is obviously Yuan Shikai as the leader." Zhang Yu emphasized this result again.

"Not only now, if this plan is successful, in the future, Yuan Shikai Beiyang will occupy a central position." Chen Ke does not shy away from this question at all.

"Then we all worked hard and worked hard to make pot dishes for Yuan Shikai in the end?" Zhang Yu's antagonism is getting higher and higher.

Chen Ke also made a rare-for-tat confrontation: "We are now carrying out revolution, and to carry out revolution is the process of defeating the reactionaries. But reactionaries are only a general term, and each reactionary force has its own characteristics and positions. Our main enemy is not the same in different historical periods. The material world is dynamic, not static. At different times, there was not just one way to push for revolution. It is not that our People's Party has always held power, but that shows that the revolutionary path is correct. What's more, our People's Party has not held the national power in China until now. ”

The meeting lasted for three days, and Feng Xu, as an observer, did not have the right to speak. But even listening has exhausted the old man. He originally thought that the People's Party was just a group of energetic young men who rose up to rebel, but after these three days, Feng Xu understood what "temple calculation" was. Compared with these young men, Feng Xu thinks that all the policy designs he has done in the government in his life are as simple and naïve as children.

On the last day of the session, the voting process was extremely difficult. Feng Xu could see that all the BJP comrades who participated in the voting did not have confidence in the content of the discussion. Feng Xu imagined that if he had the right to vote, his feelings would be exactly the same as those of these people. Chen's plan was so reasonable that it was unbelievable. So no one really believed that this kind of thing would really go according to Chen Ke's predictions.

Before voting, Zhang Yu spoke with a tired and solemn expression, "Chairman Chen, I voted this time not because I support your plan. I just believe you've never missed a prediction before. I will obey the decision of the party organization, but I personally have reservations. ”

Chen Ke's energy seemed to be more abundant than that of other comrades, and he replied calmly: "Even if this plan is passed by the party committee, it depends on whether Yuan Shikai accepts it." If Yuan Shikai does not accept it, then there is no need to implement this plan. At that time, we will continue the revolution in the same way as we do now. ”

Perhaps it was this statement that finally convinced the exhausted comrades, who breathed a sigh of relief and began to vote. To Feng Xu's surprise, Chen Ke's proposal was unanimously approved.

Chen Ke did not ask Feng Xu to sit in on the hearing, and after the voting ended, Feng Xu's resolution as an envoy was also passed by voting. After the meeting ended, Chen Ke and the tired Feng Xu began to talk.

"Mr. Feng, how likely do you think Yuan Shikai will accept this content?"

After all, he is old, and it is difficult to get rid of fatigue in a short time, Feng Xu was a little panting when he spoke, "I don't know." I can only tell him what I can tell Yuan Shikai according to the regulations. There's more to be said about that, though. ”

Chen Ke sighed slightly, Feng Xu could see that Chen Ke was not disappointed, this was a mixed action of helplessness and self-relaxation. Feng Xu asked, "Chairman Chen, I have something to understand. Why choose such a strategy at this time? ”

"Although we are in the midst of a revolution, the process of revolution is of course to defeat all reactionaries. However, China's vitality can be retained. Chen Ke replied.

Feng Xu nodded with deep understanding, in this meeting, Chen Ke emphasized this issue more than once. It is true that revolutionary war can destroy the enemy, but it takes too much and too much force to rebuild, and destruction will inevitably make it more difficult to rebuild.

Seeing that Feng Xu accepted his explanation, Chen Ke felt a little relieved on the one hand, but also felt that he was really helpless. The history of the party is extremely arduous, and Chen Ke admires it very much. However, admiration does not mean that it can be copied, and the present revolutionary situation can never push the BJP to that point. If the members of the People's Party are to have the same level of glory as the Party in those days, it is necessary to take advantage of the characteristics of the present era.

Chen Ke spent several days meditating, trying to find such a way using the methods taught by Grandpa Mao. Although Chen Ke felt that he had found it, like other comrades, Chen Ke's rationality was persuaded by Chen Ke himself, but his sensibility was not persuaded at all.

"Chairman Chen, do you want me to be an envoy or a lobbyist?" Feng Xu asked.

"What's the difference?" Chen Ke could hear the difference between the two words.

Feng Xu replied: "Messenger, tell Yuan Shikai that there is such a thing, and try his best to persuade Yuan Shikai. As for the lobbyist, it is to let Beiyang accept this matter. ”

Chen Ke did not put forward his own judgment on Feng Xu's statement, he asked, "Why is Mr. Feng so enthusiastic about this matter?" ”

"It is best that the people of the world can suffer less from the swords." Feng Xu replied emotionally.

Let the people suffer less? Chen Ke felt alert almost instinctively. Historically, whenever Qingliu, who claimed to be responsible for the world, tried to "make the people suffer less", the day of a river of blood was probably imminent. It is even more impossible for a person with a temperament like Yuan Shikai to eat this set of rhetoric.

Chen Ke paused before replying: "Mr. Feng also listened to our meeting, I hope, or I fantasize that Yuan Shikai can see the facts clearly, see the situation clearly, and make the right choice." If we can reach a consensus on both sides, it will be possible for the people to suffer less. But if you feel that your interests are not being satisfied, you don't have to talk about anything else. Our People's Party naturally wants to fight to the end, and Yuan Shikai is known as the people's slaughter. Mr. Feng, you have high aspirations, and I can trust you. However, it is of little use to persuade both sides with the idea of making the people suffer less. ”

Hearing this, Feng Xu not only did not get annoyed, but nodded again and again. "Say yes. I'm lying in vain. ”

Chen Ke didn't know if Feng Xu was sincere or had other thoughts, but he heard Feng Xu say: "At the meeting, Chairman Chen said that if you seek peace through struggle, you will survive peacefully, and if you seek peace through compromise, you will die peacefully. I will keep this attitude in mind. ”

Hearing that Feng Xu had such an understanding, Chen Ke was also relieved. After several days of preparation by Chen Ke, Yan Fu, and Feng Xu, Feng Xu finally embarked on the road to the north.

Henan Governor Yuan Shikai has been annoyed recently. He once thought that Chen Ke would put on a superficial desperate look, but in fact he didn't move. So Yuan Shikai sent some of the troubles he wanted to get rid of to the front line, hoping that Chen Ke would wipe out these guys.

As a result, a series of news proved that Yuan Shikai's predictions were all in vain. The People's Party changed its previous combat style, and this time the party did not appear in front of the Beiyang Army at all. The gang of people who were sent to the front were already terrified and feared the enemy like tigers. No matter how much Yuan Shikai urged, he refused to go deep into the area controlled by the People's Party. So they're still alive and well.

If these are the only things, it may be explained that the BJP has an attitude of calming things down. As a result, at the end of September, news came that a large number of People's Party troops had entered the Wuhan area of Hubei Province to begin disaster relief. Yuan Shikai knew that the People's Party in Anhui started by disaster relief, and there was no doubt about the purpose of the People's Party's intervention in Hubei.

I don't understand where the People's Party got such courage in the face of tens of thousands of Beiyang Army. The news that Duan Qirui conquered Hangzhou and captured the female bandit leader Qiu Jin made Yuan Shikai very happy.

However, following this news, a large number of bandits appeared in Hebei, and they did not attack the city and plundered the land, but wantonly plundered the Huangzhuang of Zhili and the manor of the princes and ministers. The bandits' vanguard even reached the city of Beijing and began to loot. At the same time, several bandits broke down the barracks and looted the arsenal in Shandong. Due to the fact that many Beiyang troops stationed in Shandong went south, the barracks were empty at this time.

Without any verification, Yuan Shikai knew that this was definitely a trick made by the People's Party. The Beiyang Army killed the bandits in Shandong, and the Shandong bandits did not dare to approach the Beiyang military camp at all, and they did not dare to loot the Beiyang military camp with a few of their courage. As for the success of the robbery, Yuan Shikai knew that there were no such heroes in Shandong.

On the one hand, Chen Ke marched into Hubei, and on the other hand, he was in Zhili to engage in "encircling Wei to save Zhao"? Or is it that the People's Party does not have any troops in Anhui at all, and just sings about the empty city plan? What is hateful is that God knows what the situation in Anhui is now, and as soon as the spies of the Beiyang Army enter Anhui, they will be like mud cattle entering the sea. Yuan Shikai couldn't inquire about Anhui's reality at all.

There has been a quarrel within Beiyang about this, and there are those who advocate returning to the army and those who advocate attacking Anhui in the south. There are also some strange people who even think that they secretly took the train straight to Hankou and raided the People's Party troops in Hubei. If the People's Party was so easy to be attacked, Wang Shizhen was such a cautious and meticulous strategist, and Duan Qirui was such a decisive general, the People's Party would have been destroyed long ago.

At this moment, someone asked Feng Xu to come to visit, and Yuan Shikai felt a little eyebrows. Chen Ke must have planned some big conspiracy to let Feng Xu, an old captive, deceive himself.

"Chen Wenqing, your uncle, I'll take a good look at what tricks you have!" Thinking of this, Yuan Shikai ordered, "Bring Feng Xu in." ”

Feng Xu has a calm attitude and has the demeanor of a lobbyist. He first handed Chen Ke's letter to Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai didn't open it, so he asked, "Mr. Feng, what did Chen Wenqing send you to teach?" ”

Looking at a room of Beiyang generals, Feng Xu asked, "Yuan Gong, can you let these people listen together?" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Yuan Shikai said calmly. The people in the house are all Yuan Shikai's irons, and Yuan Shikai has confidence in these people.

Feng Xu saw Yuan Shikai acting like this, so he calmly talked about Chen Ke's suggestion.

Chen Ke believes that the world can now be divided into three types of people: the revolutionary party, the reformers, and the die-hard ultra-royalists. The hard-line royalists demanded the maintenance of the Manchu monarchy, and they were already street rats, spurned by the revolutionaries and reformers. Although Yuan Shikai was loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai himself was a representative of the Restoration. Chen Ke believed that during this period, the People's Party, which was the largest force of the revolutionary party, joined hands with the Beiyang faction, the representative of the Restoration, to eliminate the die-hard royalist party, which would have great practical interests for both factions.

In terms of modus operandi, Chen suggested that the People's Party should violently attack Huangzhuang outside the capital in Zhili, forcing the last military force of the die-hard conservatives to attack. Then break it in the field. and sent troops to attack the site of Cixi's mausoleum. The reality of the weakness of the die-hard conservatives has been fully exposed.

At this time, Yuan Shikai could unite with the governors of the provinces and reach a consensus on "constitutional provincial autonomy". The die-hard conservatives had no foundation in the provinces, and with the capital being harassed like this, it was impossible to create any real trouble for Yuan Shikai. Once Yuan Shikai reached an agreement with the provincial governors, the People's Party would cooperate with Yuan Shikai to return to Beijing and withdraw all troops in Zhili. Originally, it was unclear that the little emperor of Xuantong came to power, and Yuan Shikai coerced the support or acquiescence of the governors of various provinces, coupled with the backing of military strength, he could adopt a constitutional system and establish Yuan Shikai's political dominance.

Whether it is sitting on the Taishi chair, sitting on the sofa, or sitting in other places, Yuan Shikai always sits upright, and his style is rigorous. And Yuan Shikai is not a cautious eye, it is difficult to provoke him with normal speech. Listening to Feng Xu's clear organization, the words are simple and the suggestions are clear. Yuan Shikai only had teeth on this Taishi chair, which made him want to stand up immediately, and then ordered someone to beat Feng Xu's old puppet out.

No wonder Chen Ke wrote a book, and Cixi died after reading it. If the enemy pointed out the most advantageous path for him in such a clear manner, no one could stand it. The most important thing is that the BJP does it first and then speaks. Attacking the arsenal and Huangzhuang in Zhili, the People's Party has been in full swing. It is estimated that the site where Cixi's mausoleum was built has also been attacked.

The old queen mother was angry with Chen Ke when she was alive, and after her death, she was so angry that Chen Ke couldn't even finish the burial on time, and the face of the diehard royalists has been cut at all, right? But ......, why did Yuan Shikai feel a kind of happiness in his heart when he thought of the frightened and anxious faces of the bastards of the clan in the capital?

Due to his thorough preparation, Feng Xu was concise and to the point. Soon it was said that "constitutional joint provincial autonomy". To put it bluntly, this system established the actual situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the form of a legal situation. Each province has established a parliament and established its own provincial constitution, as well as its own laws. As for the central government, the parliament meets every year to discuss the amount of money that each province should pay to the central government. The lawmakers discuss the legislative matters, and then they can get out of the way and go home. Parliament does not have any substantial control over the centre.

"Yuan Gong, due to the autonomy of the provinces. As long as Beiyang does not enter the territory of our People's Party, our People's Party will remain silent and turn a blind eye to where you will fight in Beiyang and which provinces you control. As long as there are many provinces controlled by Beiyang, whether you are president or prime minister, it is naturally logical. At that time, these generals of Beiyang became governors in various provinces, and they were in power, and Yuan Gong was in charge, which was a good thing for Beiyang. Feng Xu threw out Chen Ke's promise to Yuan Shikai.

Hearing this key content, the Beiyang generals couldn't help but have their eyes shining one by one. If there is really such a situation, these generals loyal to Yuan Shikai can definitely lead a province of land. At that time, everyone was not a military position, but a military and political grasp. The prospects for the future are dizzying.

"Mr. Feng, are you done talking nonsense?" Yuan Shikai finally asked.

Feng Xu smiled: "This is not nonsense. When the general trend has been achieved today, whether it is the government, the gentry, or the scholars, everyone must reform the constitution. Compared with so many people, there are only a handful of people who completely oppose the constitutionalism. Yuan Gong is loyal to the Queen Mother, everyone knows it. Now the Queen Mother is gone. The work of cracking down on that handful of people is up to us in the People's Party. Yuan Gong only needs to follow the general trend. How can this be nonsense? ”

Seeing that Yuan Shikai was still unmoved, Feng Xu said: "Yuan Gong, Tianyu Fu is to blame. You are unwilling to take this responsibility for the sake of your own reputation, and you also have to think about these people who follow Yuan Gong in the Beiyang family. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shikai's expression finally changed a little.
