Pan Xun is very smart, and in addition to promoting his views in the newspapers, Chinese universities are even more than 18 years old, because college students are generally over 18 years old, basically have the right to vote, and most importantly, this is a group of people who are politically enthusiastic and willing to participate in politics. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There are a lot of people on the street, but there are not necessarily many people who vote. Referring to the national parliamentary election three years ago, the population of the entire country exceeded 500 million, and the number of qualified voters definitely exceeded 300 million, but less than 30 million people finally registered to vote, and the total number of voters in the whole country was less than 30 million.

Most of the people were afraid that voting would cause trouble, and they would not vote in life or death, and the last Wuxi parliamentarian only mobilized more than 1,000 workers, and finally was elected to the National Assembly, while the population he represented was a million people, which was too low.

Although the number of universities in China is still not large, there are only 30 regular universities recognized by the Ministry of Education in the whole country, such as Peking University and Tsinghua University in Beijing, Beiyang University and Nankai University in Tianjin, Yanmei University, Shandong University, Qingdao University and so on.

Among them, the sources are complex, there are foreign aided construction, the Americans have helped build four universities, after all, Tsinghua University, Yanmei University in Yantai, Shandong, Shanghai-American University, Guangmei University in Guangzhou, and the Germans have established three, Qingdao University in Qingdao, Qingdao Ocean University and Jiaozhou University; There are self-built universities, such as Peking University, Shandong University, Nanyang College, Wuhan University, etc.; There are also some education bureaus that have realized their ideals, such as Nankai University in Tianjin, Xiamen University established by Chen Jiageng, and so on.

In addition, there are more than a dozen normal schools, one in each province, to train teachers for each province.

Pan Xun wants to move around, because at least more than 200,000 students in these schools are qualified voters, and attracting these votes can drive more votes, maybe even one million votes. Coupled with the propaganda in the newspapers, Pan Xun felt that he still had hope.

That's right, as soon as Pan Xun returned to China, he immediately expressed his attitude of running for the election, and his campaign slogan was also played, that is, to seek dignity for the countrymen.

Pan Xun's methods were very successful, and a large number of enthusiastic young people in society were mobilized, and one by one they were stimulated by the Nanyang incident, and they were very concerned about the plight of overseas Chinese, and all the shady scenes of overseas Chinese were turned over, especially the hostile feelings of the United States that refused to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act were stirred up, and even a few universities established by Americans and taught by American professors were no exception.

The newspapers even called on the government to put pressure on the United States, even at the cost of a war, which shocked the US government, they thought that China was mobilizing for war, but they didn't care if they figured it out, they knew that this was a campaign, they could say anything, they dared to say anything, and they didn't have this virtue in the United States.

Pan Xun suddenly killed, so that Mi Qing and Li Fuan were a little caught off guard, before they only regarded each other as the biggest opponent, only each other in their eyes, and were surprised that Pan Xun appeared on the rampage, but it was too late, election day was coming, and Pan Xun because of the recent Nanyang problem, he was a big leak, and the head overshadowed the president of the government.

And neither of them thought that Pan Xun had such great energy, Mi Qing and Li Fuan both had a lot of capital in their hands, Mi Qing needless to say, he was the president, and he had been the propaganda minister of the Fuqiang Party for a long time in the past, and he had a wide network in the press. As for Li Fuan, he is supported by a large group of capitalists, especially the heavy industry capitalists in Northeast Shandong, who are rich and easy to do, and of course have a high voice.

But these two people didn't expect Pan Xun to quietly have a strong capital.

Time is already very tight, when Pan Xun returned to China, there was only one month left before the vote, but this month, the public opinion he stirred up was too high, and it was overwhelming, and Pan Xun gathered a lot of popularity with this momentum.

Previously, Li Fuan was a little unconfident, because his philosophy was to continue to promote industrialization, and if he was elected, he would promote industrial construction throughout the country. But Mi Qing's idea is to continue to push for the whole country to raise workers' wages, and once she is re-elected, she will legislate to promote a minimum wage system that will force workers to raise the minimum wage to one tael.

Li Fuan knew that the elites everywhere, some elites with ideals and ambitions, would support him. But those ordinary workers who have no pursuit, only seek three meals and clothing, and their wives and children are hot on the kang must support Mi Qing, so Li Fuan knew before that he would not have an advantage in competing with Mi Qing. Now Pan Xun suddenly came out and used the issue of dignity to pull away a large number of votes from Li Fuan at once, which is equivalent to dividing his vote source. made Li Fuan feel that his hope was almost gone.

Therefore, his first thought was to find Yang Chao to find a way.

"Hey. I didn't expect Pan Xun's hand. He's a guy who never does things quietly, which makes me very passive. Your philosophy is right, industrialization, but workers only want to raise wages, and that's right. It's going to be very difficult for you to turn things around now. Either you compromise with Mi Qing or Pan Xun, give up the election campaign to help them canvass for votes, and exchange for a position in the future cabinet. I think with your current strength, whoever you support will win, and they will agree. ”

Yang Chao was in the Northeast at this time, and after communicating with Li Fuan, he made suggestions to him.

Li Fuan smiled bitterly: "Pan Xun has already looked for me. ”

Yang Chao sighed: "Look, it's this low-key character, and it's unbearable to come so suddenly at a critical moment." You and Mi Qing can't fight him. ”

Li Fuan suggested: "Chairman, if you go out of the mountain, I still have hope." ”

It takes courage to say this, Li Fuan immediately blushed, this is too embarrassing.

"I'm out of the mountains? Cheering you on? ”

Li Fuan didn't answer, but his expression was full of expectation.

Yang Chao shook his head: "It's not appropriate for me to stand up, it's not fair to them." Is the election, it's a game, it's a game, there must be rules, you break the rules, he breaks the rules, and slowly there are no rules, and this game can't be played. ”

Li Fuan sighed: "Then who do you suggest I help?" Help Pan Xun or Mi Qing? ”

He is mentally prepared that Yang Chao will definitely stay out of the matter, but he is always unwilling not to try.

"You are still young, and there will be opportunities in the future, so let's eat a trench and grow wise. The success will be higher next time. Who do you decide for yourself, who do you think is more difficult to deal with? ”

Yang Chao's words have already decided that Li Fuan can only help Mi Qing, because Pan Xun is obviously a more difficult enemy to deal with, although he is a little unwilling to let Mi Qing be the president again, but let Pan Xun be the president, then he may not be able to fight for the next term, he can see that this Pan Xun has no concept of his own, or the only concept is success, he was not a radical person before, but this time he sang a high profile, and even the slogan of declaring war on the United States was played.

"I'd better help Mi Qing."

Li Fuan sighed.

Yang Chao nodded and said, "Then you can have a good talk with Mi Qing and tell her not to choose the next election." She agreed, and you can help her again. ”

Li Fuan's eyes lit up, if he could exchange Mi Qing for giving up the election in the next term, wouldn't it be four years, and then his strength would be stronger, and he would cooperate with Mi Qing to defeat Pan Xun, as long as he could make political achievements, the next president would not be his.

But Li Fuan suddenly took a breath, and his face changed: "No, I won't say this." ”

Yang Chao recognized in his heart that although this person is not confident, he finally has self-esteem, and it is already a shame to fail to compete with Mi Qing, and it is shameless to let people quit themselves before they can become presidents.

After Li Fuan left.

Mishu sighed: "My lord, it seems that President Mi Da is going to be a female president again." ”

Yang Chao glanced at him: "Are you so optimistic about them?" ”

Zhang Nian was stunned: "President Mi Da and Vice President Li combined, but they can't fight a Premier Pan?" ”

Yang Chao smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I really can't fight." Pan Xun is a person with great energy. ”

Yang Chao sighed sincerely, because he always felt that he couldn't see through this person, this is a traditional Chinese literati to the bones, he does things by unscrupulous means, and he is determined, and he is extremely patient.

"Do you think Pan Xun thought of fighting for the presidency because of the accident in Nanyang this time?"

Yang Chao asked rhetorically.

Zhang Nian was puzzled: "Are you saying that he is already fighting for the presidency." ”

Yang Chao nodded: "Whether there is this Nanyang incident or not, he will fight for the president, but this incident has given him a good opportunity." Since he jumped out, it means that he is ready, and he has done it a long time ago. ”

Zhang Nian didn't understand: "But he just took advantage of this momentum to attract some attention, if he looks for it, he plans to fight, why is he going to compete with President Mi Da and Vice President Li?" ”

Yang Chao said: "This is what is terrible about him. No one knows what he does, but just look, he's about to use them. ”

Everyone knows that Pan Xun has been doing education all these years, this is a Qingshui Yamen, and it is difficult to have conspicuous political achievements, so no one regards him as a popular candidate.

But what Mi Qing and Li Fuan didn't realize was that Pan Xun's patient education made a large number of elites in China still recognize him, from social practitioners like Zhang Jian to old masters in the countryside who ran private schools with government subsidies to eliminate illiteracy.

Capitalists like Zhang Jian can provide financial support, and the old masters in the countryside may mobilize a large group of illiterate peasants in the countryside.

Pan Xun knew well who his supporters were, so he made a big appeal in the newspapers, encouraging his supporters to go to the polling places in the counties.

On the day of the poll, when Mi Qing and Li Fuan found that the old masters who did not come out of the countryside suddenly took a large group of rural men and rushed to the county seat in groups, as if they were going to fight, everything was too late, and Pan Xun was elected the next president of the republic with a high vote of 70%.
