The nomination procedure is submitted by the provinces, not by political parties, not by tens of thousands of people, but by the provincial councils, which is Chinese characteristics, and was revised by Wang Chonghui after listening to the opinions of provincial legislators when the constitution was formulated.

But there is only one candidate, which is still surprising.

Even if it is just a wartime interim president, it is very tempting, there are still many people who want to be wartime president, or be expected to be wartime president, many provinces have put forward their own candidates, Liangjiang wants Feng Guozhang to go out of the mountain, Yunnan wants to mention Cai Yi.

But those candidates with a little weight have refused to run, Feng Guozhang has no intention of running, Cai Ye also publicly refused, of course, there are also those who have the intention to run and are nominated at the same time, such as Brother Pao.

It's a pity that Brother Pao didn't dare to come back to participate, he just scolded him vigorously abroad, Yang Chao didn't mean to kill him, he scared himself, but decided that once he returned to China, he would definitely not end well.

So the nominated characters either refused to run, or they didn't dare to come back to run if they wanted to run, and the result was that Yang Chao sang a one-man show alone.

At the same time, Yang Chao's political strength is also the strongest, Shandong, the three eastern provinces and Shanghai are unconditionally supported by Yang Chao, in fact, they are the ones who nominated Yang Chao, and other places also support Yang Chao, the most surprising is Sichuan, I didn't expect this province to stand on Yang Chao's side, jointly nominated Yang Chao, I have to say that a railway was built for Sichuan people, or let Sichuan people have a good impression of Yang Chao.

As for Shanxi's support for Yang Chao, it is not surprising at all, Yan Xishan is a smart person, and his reputation in the revolutionary party is very stinky, because he once publicly scolded Cai Yi because of his support for Yuan Shikai, so he has no choice but to support Yang Chao, and Yan Xishan's ability is actually much stronger than Brother Pao, his control over Shanxi is now very powerful, basically Shanxi's congressmen are his mouthpiece, unlike Yunnan parliamentarians, who miss Cai Ye vigorously and are not very interested in Tang Jiyao.

Of course, there are also staunch opponents, such as Guangdong and Fujian provinces.

The other provinces are mainly neutral, such as Jiangxi, Xinjiang, Mongolia and most other provinces.

It was not difficult to win over legislators from these provinces, and they privately promised various promises, such as Yang Chao's immediate support for the construction of the Shanghai-Guangzhou railway, which would pass through Jiangxi and become the first railway in Jiangxi.

Most of these parliamentarians are local celebrities, although they have various backgrounds, including old bureaucrats and new people from the Xinhai Revolution, they are certainly not casually pulled out, they are all people with status, so Yang Chao does not intend to play personal bribery, and it is most reasonable to make a promise to them to benefit the people.

If they don't support it, once these promises are reported, these people will not be able to explain in front of their hometown fathers, and the key is that their most cherished reputation will stink.

For the two rivers, in addition to building a railway for Jiangxi, a Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is enough to help. Told Huguang that Yang Chao would support the development of Wuhan as a transportation hub.

The number of votes is basically enough, the total number of members in the parliament is 500, which is divided according to the population of 500 million, an average of 1 million in one parliamentarian, the largest province is Sichuan, 50 million people let them have 50 parliamentary seats, 40 in Shandong, 30 in the three eastern provinces, 53 in Huguang (Hunan, Hubei provinces), 72 in Liangjiang (Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi provinces), plus 13 in Shanxi, 19 votes in Yunnan and Guizhou, two votes in the two votes that support Cai Yi, The 26 votes in support of Duan Qirui's direct subordinates have exceeded 300 votes, and the presidential election is a simple majority, and one vote wins.

Therefore, a round of voting was held, and Yang Chao was elected ten days later, taking an oath according to the constitution.

"I, Yang Chao, in accordance with the powers granted to me by the Constitution, will temporarily assume the post of President of the Republic of China during the Sino-Japanese War. I swear to respect the Constitution, to respect the powers of the Congress, to respect the powers of the provinces, to respect the rights of the people of the whole country, and to fight to defend the power of the state. I will not use my power to seek any unreasonable advantage; will not use power to do anything harmful to the state; I will not do anything beyond the scope of my authority; There will be no attempt to increase unreasonable power. ”

After taking the oath, Xiong Xiling handed over the seal symbolizing the power of the president to Yang Chao, then shook hands and made a statement.

Xiong Xiling had a kind of grief and indignation in his tone, because no matter how he looked at his resignation, it was embarrassing.

Yang Chao finally stated: "This president asks Premier Xiong to remain in office. Prime Minister Xiong will remain prime minister in the cabinet and will be tied to the president. If Prime Minister Xiong refuses to take office, or if the National Assembly does not approve it, the President will resign. ”

Xiong Xiling and the congress were stunned.

They didn't expect Yang Chao to stay with Xiong Xiling.

Xiong Xiling is a native of Hunan, and the retention of Xiong Xiling as a member of the Huguang parliament is heartened, and they from Huguang will continue to serve as the No. 2 person in the Republic.

In short, this is a figure who has connections in both factions, of course, the boundary between the two factions is not large, because after the Xinhai Revolution, there are a large number of old bureaucrats mixed into the revolutionary ranks, and it is very important to win over this part of the people.

The most important thing is that Xiong Xiling has always been a Westernist, has experience in doing things in the local area, and has been the prime minister for another term, Yang Chao feels that he is the most suitable candidate.

"Hey, President."

Xiong Xiling could only smile bitterly and shake his head, whether it was for the overall situation or ambition, he couldn't refuse.

"Well, I'm sure none of the MPs will object, and I announce that all the old Cabinet will remain in office to stabilize the country as soon as possible. and to build the government of the Republic into a united and efficient government. ”

Yang Chao's statement was supported by a number of neutral provinces, because the past cabinet was a compromise cabinet, in which there were various factions, Cai Yuanpei, a veteran of the League, Zhang Jian, a representative of local enlightened gentlemen like Zhang Jian of the Constitutional Party, and Liang Shiyi of the Beiyang system.

However, Yang Chao became president, and Premier Xiong Xiling also stayed in office, so what should Yang Chao do as the Minister of Defense?

"I propose that Duan Qirui take the post of Minister of Defense!"

Cabinet members need to get two-thirds of the votes, but Duan Qirui has influence in northern provinces such as Zhili, Henan, and Shaanxi, plus Liangjiang is also a Beiyang force, and will also support it, and with Yang Chao's support, it is not difficult to get two-thirds of the votes.

What's more, everyone knows that Duan Qirui is not Yang Chao's descendant, Yang Chao did not hand over this important position to his own people, out of public interest, everyone is still very satisfied, so Duan Qirui's nomination was quickly passed.

After everything was taken care of, Yang Chao's first major task as president was to promote the establishment of a national arbitration tribunal, which would be used to adjudicate conflicts between provinces and resolve a series of special events. The first thing that the arbitral tribunal resolved was the issue of the Guangdong Parliament.

Through the arbitration court, the Guangdong issue was finally resolved, and Mi Qing, who had been preparing for more than half a year, took immediate action.

One by one, the local squires, big capitalists, and big family heads have stood up, and with the help of Mi Qing, through a series of legal procedures, such as nomination, a hundred qualified voters can nominate a provincial councilor, which is not difficult to do, these people have enough energy in the local area.

Then there are the local elections, and these fames are easily elected, and of course they can't be clean in the process.

However, this move also caused protests from the Guangdong members of the National Assembly, who came to resign in general, but the newly established Guangdong Parliament immediately elected new members, and the old forces in Guangdong were swept away from the central and local levels.

The government has not made a big move, the policies have followed the old habits, and the military is very stable, which makes the Chinese government very stable.

And all this was done by Yang Chao in a wheelchair, and the governance during this period was considered to have a historical impact, so there was a special term called wheelchair governance.

"I propose to recruit 3 million new soldiers and launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army, and immediately attack Korea; At the same time, I promise to resolve the Sino-Japanese war within one year and restore peace to the country! ”

In April, Yang Chao finally stopped using a wheelchair, and the first step in his standing administration was the issue of war.
