Building a country is like climbing to a higher place, when you are ready to build a shelf and prepare to go to a high place, there are always people below you who are tearing down your platform, so it will stagnate, and it will be difficult for the country to climb to a higher place, or the pace will slow down.

In Wang Bin's view, this so-called republic is nothing more than that the old authority has been overthrown and overthrown, and the new authority has not been established.

In this era when those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people, the reason why the democratic republic can prevail is nothing more than that more people can see the opportunity to climb up.

Although there is a group of people with lofty ideals, more of them are opportunistic people.

Since modern times, the reason why all the big warlords have attached great importance to this democratic republic is because they see hope and hope to become presidents.

Therefore, they all agree with the republican approach, but forget the role of rules, in the late Qing Dynasty, in the troubled era of the Qing Dynasty, to talk about this so-called system, people's hearts, it is all shrimp ** nonsense, strength is the most important thing.

The reason why the republic is "deeply rooted in the hearts of the people" is because after all, the president can be changed every few years, and all the military men have hope, who doesn't want to ascend to the throne of the president and the leader of Beiyang.

Therefore, in this chaotic era, the so-called republic is nothing more than the concept of the republic satisfies the desires of some people, and in the late Qing Dynasty, where the enforcement of the law was extremely low, the republic was just empty words.

It is worth believing in the rules that are guaranteed by one's own strength, and under the constraints of the rules, the supervision of the law will naturally be carried out in place.

Being constrained by rules does not mean that people lose their freedom, on the contrary, the appearance of rules itself only wants to regulate people's behavior.

Therefore, after Wang Bin became the head of Beijing, the regime to be established first excluded the so-called democratic republic, for these ordinary people, the so-called republic does not know what it means at all, and often can only become a vote without knowing it.

At this moment, Wang Bin was only to use his strength to establish a new order and law, so constitutionalism inevitably appeared in front of him.

The Han and Tang dynasties were strong because at that time all countries in the world did not have constitutions, let alone countries that engaged in constitutional government, not to mention the enlightened monarch and the incorruptibility of politics were enough to make a country strong.

One of the most important functions of the constitution is that those in power must govern the country according to the law and not act arbitrarily for personal gain.

When there was no constitution in any country, the self-discipline of Confucianism helped **** officials restrain some behaviors, so at that time, **** officials behaved more than other countries.

If the officials do a good job, the country will of course be strong.

By the time the Manchus were ready to play the constitution, the British had been playing for hundreds of years, and other Western countries had followed Britain to play the constitution and become "great powers".

It was only at this time that the Manchus, who had been bullied by the foreign powers for a long time, were just beginning to prepare to play, and although they began to play constitutionalism, it was too late.

Moreover, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty put the interests of its rulers first, they played constitutionalism very passively and inadequately, shouting that they wanted to play constitutionalism, but they constantly set back the time of constitutionalism, and did not want to add a "tight spell" to the imperial power and limit the imperial power to the law.

Therefore, the death of the Manchu Qing was not due to constitutionalism, but because they did not play constitutionalism well, could not give up the power in their hands, or were reluctant to engage in constitutionalism.

The so-called "constitutionalism", in Wang Bin's view, just means that those who are officials should also abide by the rules; The biggest and most common scourge in modern China is the unruly government; Once society loses its basic rules, it will become a jungle of beasts that prey on the jungle, and the chaos of the late Manchu Qing Dynasty appeared here.

After taking Zhili, Wang Bin asked Xiong Xiling to start selecting a group of talents who were proficient in the law and began to prepare for the constitution.

After arriving in Beijing, Wang Bin found Wang Yingkai and asked how the current situation was.

"Uncle Wang, how is the current control of my Beiyang family in the north?"

To tell the truth, Wang Bin was actually asking more implicitly, after this action, how much territory his side had grabbed from the Manchus.

"Hehe Youde, this time we can be said to have made a lot of money, not only the Beiyang and Jingshi in our hands, but also the two provinces of Shanxi and Shandong are currently completely mastered, Henan is also stationed in Kaifeng in the north of the military strength of a association, it is estimated that it will not be long before Henan can also be mastered."

After listening to Wang Yingkai's words, Wang Bin also had a general understanding of the current situation, and the control speed of Zhili was the fastest.

Zhili was originally the base camp of the Beiyang family, and after most of the high-ranking officials in the Beijing division toured the south, with the help of Beiyang bigwigs such as Wang Yingkai and Wang Shizhen, controlling Zhili was just a small matter.

And Shanxi and Shandong are next to Zhili, of which Shandong is Wang Bin's hometown, the influence of the Wang family in Shandong is not blown, more or less able to affect the common people below and the upper level of the government.

In addition, this time Wang Yingkai personally sent his own old book: the second town is stationed in Shandong to suppress the ground, and the governor of Shandong also threw himself into Wang Bin's Duan Zhigui early, and Shandong's control is not weak.

As for Shanxi, it's just because it's too close to Zhili, and Wang Bin is currently so powerful, he can send troops to give him seconds in minutes.

Therefore, for the sake of his own life, the governor of Shanxi also half-pushed and half-threw himself into Wang Bin's arms.

On 10 June, the major newspapers reported on the coup d'état, which was launched suddenly on the occasion of the southern tour of the emperor and the empress dowager, and in one fell swoop took control of the political center of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

There were also Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan, and the coup d'état was successful, not a new dynasty, but a constitutional government.

This coup d'état can be said to have been realized by all those who have a little brain, but they did not expect to take the north in such a short period of time.

As soon as the news came out, some governors in the north felt that they were about to be annexed by Wang Bin, and for a while they were thinking about how to be able to decently turn to Wang Bin while retaining their power.

These governors have made the officials so big, and they are naturally not waste, and they naturally know that the "army" under their command cannot defeat Wang Bin, so they naturally have to think about it for themselves.

In the south, the situation was somewhat different, and the south, under the pressure of Zhou Fu and Ding Zhenduo, two frontier ministers loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, naturally spared no effort to support the Manchu court. (To be continued.) )
