In fact, Zhao Jiayi's suggestion is not particularly brilliant, even if there is no suggestion of what to do, after a few days, when Li Zhigao calms down, he will understand these truths by himself.

Li Zhigao just made other things a little angry recently, and the people who have always valued him acted privately for such a moment, resulting in the loss of his past calmness, but if he calms down, he will find that no matter what others do, there is no loss in the strength he has carefully developed, and in this era, strength actually represents everything.

Although Zhao Jiayi's resume and academic qualifications look so powerful, after all, she has just arrived, and she is a Chinese-American who studied science, and she has limited knowledge of Chinese history, but after all, she is experienced and quickly saw the weaknesses of the League and others and Li Zhigao's advantages, so she persuaded Li Zhigao to respond to all changes and continue to farm with peace of mind.

In other words, Zhao Jiayi's role, at least for now, only plays a role in psychological comfort and psychological counseling for Li Zhigao, so that Li Zhigao can calm down again, and once he calms down, Li Zhigao's advantages will be brought into play, and he will no longer dance with the other party's movements.

Sure enough, next, Li Zhigao quickly convened a political meeting of the military government, revoked Tao Chengzhang's status as president of the Executive Yuan of the military government, and only gave him an idle post of vice chairman of the Political Consultative Conference, and Liu Runsheng took over the post of former president of the Executive Yuan.

At the same time, Li Zhigao also quickly convened the second enlarged meeting of the Liberation Party, the content of which was very simple, that is, to rectify thinking, persist in taking Li Zhigao's Thought as the supreme leadership ideology, and to determine the theory and facts of Li Zhigao as the supreme leadership core.

After this enlarged meeting, which the Liberation Party called the Rectification Movement. Li Zhigao appointed Zhao Jiayi as the deputy director of the Internal Investigation Bureau, and at the same time announced in a high-profile manner that with immediate effect, he would start further cooperation with Shengai Church and establish a high-end general hospital, the First People's Hospital of Taiping Province.

The address of this hospital is next to the original Saint-Love Church, and in terms of medical personnel, for the time being, the same people who use the Saint-Love Church first. In addition, it will be equipped with various high-end facilities and medicines, and will expand the original medical cooperation program with Shengai Church to provide free medical treatment for some seriously ill patients suffering from incurable diseases.

In other words, the First People's Hospital still provides paid medical treatment for ordinary diseases, but implements a policy of free medical treatment for those seriously ill patients who are considered incurable.

Of course, the name of free medical care is not given casually. Especially for the Chinese, the emphasis is on nothing to do, and it is either a traitor or a thief, so this so-called policy of free medical treatment for seriously ill patients is actually an expanded version of the original medical cooperation plan with the Holy Love Church, and the name of the outside world is to provide various new drugs and new treatments for patients with incurable diseases, because of the meaning of trial, so all of them are free. Medical expenses are provided by pharmaceutical manufacturers as well as medical device manufacturers. As for the patient, it is an incurable disease. If you can treat the disease for free, and it is possible to cure it, of course, you can't ask for it.

Obviously, Li Zhigao used this method to find a shell for himself that can accommodate the soul of modern people, of course. He will not deliberately ignore human life for this, after all, some incurable diseases at this time can still be cured with his medicine. What he chooses are only those real and incurable diseases that are helpless in modern society. For example, cancer, leukemia, or severe diabetes due to some wealthy diseases. Although even Li Zhigao himself felt a little bit like that, but he could only do this, after all, without him, those people would hardly even have a little life.

After attending the opening ceremony of the First People's Hospital, Li Zhigao quietly disappeared from everyone's field of vision again, and continued to devote himself to his private territory in the Ma'anshan area. There, he either attended classes at the military academy every day, organized military training, inspected the progress of scientific research and factories, or traveled back and forth to continue to work on materials, or used the hospital as a guise to quietly send modern talents over.

On the contrary, unlike Li Zhigao's low-key attitude, the League and other revolutionary groups have recently frequently made brilliant appearances in newspapers and telegrams, and today's covenant and tomorrow's ordinance are all vigorously and vigorously carried out in Nanjing, and there is a feeling of a new atmosphere for the whole country.

In the face of the so-called new provisional government of the Republic of China, and in the face of this lively and lively situation, Li Zhigao adopted a cold state of non-violence and non-cooperation that he did not oppose but absolutely did not support.

In other words, didn't you set up some kind of provisional government? Okay, that's it, I'm not going to stop it. Didn't you make some kind of temporary covenant? No problem, just do it, I don't interfere. However, your personnel appointments, laws and regulations, are all difficult for me to handle, in short, in the territory actually controlled by Li Zhigao, you still have to listen to his Li Zhigao Li Dudu.

The reason why he is not clear about opposition is that Li Zhigao doesn't want to waste time arguing with the other party, you see that even Yuan Shikai is engaged in a cold and unreasonable policy, and there is no need for him to fight with those people, right? After all, when it comes to fighting in the newspapers, these people are no match for those alliances at all, and it is better to hide them than to humiliate themselves.

Although he did not oppose it, it was not that there were no countermeasures at all, on the contrary, Li Zhigao's countermeasures were even more vicious.

Soon after the provisional government's provisional constitution was formally deliberated and intended to be implemented immediately, Liu Runsheng, the new president of the Executive Yuan, upheld Li Zhigao's policy and announced the implementation of a comprehensive press censorship system under the Jiangnan Military Government, officially extending the news censorship system, which had been originally only practiced in Taiping Prefecture, to the entire area of the Jiangnan Military Government.

That is to say, from now on, the territory under Li Zhigao's actual control, including all of Zhejiang, southern Jiangsu, all of Anhui, all of Hubei, and a large area of northern Jiangxi, is currently the most economically developed region in China, and in these places if a newspaper wants to be published and distributed, it must be examined and examined by the News Censorship Department of the Jiangnan Military Government. In other words, the newspapers of the League and others could not be distributed in the Jiangnan Military Government at all, and only the official newspapers of the Jiangnan Military Government, Taiping News and Xinhua Daily, could be found here.

Obviously, Li Zhigao wants to cut off the Alliance's biggest weapon from the source. That is, in the field of propaganda, in this regard, the League and others are congenitally weak, and they are simply unable to confront Li Zhigao.

At the same time, although the Jiangnan Military Government does not clearly oppose some personnel appointments to the provisional government of the Republic of China, if it wants to meddle in the military administration of the Jiangnan region, it has no door at all. For example, the provisional government obviously appointed a Cheng Dequan as the governor of Jiangsu, but unfortunately when he took office, he found out. Jiangsu ignored him at all, and his orders were not valued by the people below at all, and even when he went to Nanjing Mayor Qian Shide to theorize, because he had a quarrel with the staff in front of the city government, he was arrested by the local police in the name of disturbing public order, and was detained for seven days before being released.

Cheng Dequan's experience is not an isolated case, all officials appointed by the provisional government of the Republic of China, as long as they are within the scope of the Jiangnan military government. None of these appointments are easy to make, all at once. While annoying many people, it also made most people wake up.

"Warlord! Villain! Usurper! This roar was made by Sun Wen, who was known as the father of the nation, or the first interim president, and there was only one reason why he was so angry. That is Li Zhigao's disobedience.

"Yixian, don't be impatient." Huang Xing waved his hand calmly and let his subordinates leave, and then sighed, "We didn't do it authentically." Taking advantage of the absence of others to convene a Senate election meeting in a hurry, such an obvious seizure of power is understandable for people to use such a non-cooperative way. ”

"How can this be said to be excusable?" Sun Wen glared at Huang Xing angrily and waved his arm vigorously, "Could it be that our Senate election meeting was held secretly?" Didn't their government agree? What did we overthrow the Manchus for? What kind of name did he Li Zhigao use when he first started the army? Since he didn't object to the Senate election meeting when he convened the Senate election session, then he shouldn't wait for the meeting to be elected before playing this game, what is this? Villain, full villain! ”

"But no matter what we say now, we can't change the fact that Li Zhigao is the de facto ruler of this region." Huang Xing said calmly, "Actually, Li Wenqing is quite good, at least he didn't oppose us openly, and we are still here to do it, think about it, if it is Yuan Shikai and them, do we still have the life to complain here?" So, in my opinion, that Li Wenqing should just be dissatisfied with the low position he was given, and if, I mean, we give him the post of interim president, maybe it will be different. ”

"What? Give him the seat of the pro tempore president? Sun Wen opened his mouth, "Are you kidding?" ”

"Certainly not kidding." Huang Xing said with a cold face, "Nowadays, our decrees are not passable in Jiangnan at all, and even our newspapers cannot be issued normally. Yat-sen, why did those people follow us in the first place? Why join us in the revolution?

In the final analysis, apart from opposing the Manchus, one of the biggest purposes was to reap the benefits of the new government. It is precisely because of this that they support us in that way, but now, our government is self-appointed, the decrees are impassable, and it cannot benefit those who follow us, and if this continues, sooner or later our people will disperse, and sooner or later our government and the provisional law will become a laughing stock.

Rather than doing this, it is better to throw away the false name of the interim president, negotiate with Li Wenqing, and exchange some practical benefits for him, so that our people can reunite. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Xing said heavily: "Yixian, the coming days are long, the revolutionary cause is not overnight, and there is no urgency. If the situation of the country is torn apart and the signs of warlord secession are undoubtedly revealed, we must not act rashly at this juncture, and we must put the overall situation first. ”

"I don't know any of that." Hearing Huang Xing say this, Sun Wen also sighed, and his tone softened, "But Keqiang, although I haven't met that Li Zhigao yet, it's obvious that this person is not comparable to ordinary people, just relying on these false names, I'm afraid he won't accept it." ”

"If you can't succeed or not, you have to try to find out." Huang Xing said, "Otherwise." I personally went to the Taiping Mansion to negotiate with Li Wenqing in person, of course, provided that you were willing to give up the throne of the provisional president. ”

"If he can really cooperate with us and really put this country first, why should I be a temporary president." Sun Wen smiled. "Okay, since you have the heart, then go ahead, in short, I will support any decision you make, rest assured."

"Hmm." Huang Xing nodded, he had already seen that Sun Wen had already had this intention, but he couldn't let it go. Let himself say it first, but he doesn't care about it, after all, the two have known each other for many years, and their friendship is indestructible, so they won't make trouble for this matter, as long as they can really succeed in the end and benefit the country.

Thinking of this, Huang Xing looked at Sun Wen. Then he added, "In addition, there is one more thing. I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't want to mention it at first, but I still felt that I had to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?" Sun Wen nodded, "There is nothing that you and I can't say." ”

"Japanese." Huang Xing looked at Sun Wen's face, and after finding that the other party's face had changed suddenly, he continued to follow. "Takashi Masuda of the Mitsui Foundation is actually ......"

"Keqiang, don't mention it." Sun Wen interrupted Huang Xing's words, "I know better than anyone else what the Japanese are planning, but. We can't help it now. ”

After a pause, Sun Wencai then sighed and said, "The country is so weak, what else can you do if you don't seek help from foreign countries?" Looking at all the countries, only the Japanese are willing to help us, and if we still refuse to leave, wouldn't it be boring to ourselves? Even now, although we have overthrown the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the power is still stolen by despicable villains such as Li Zhigao and Yuan Shikai, our revolutionary cause is still not completed, we still need funds to develop our strength, and most importantly, we need the Japanese to help us build our own army! ”

Speaking of this, Sun Wen waved his hand again: "I can see it now, without the army, nothing can be done, why does he Li Zhigao dare to do this to us?" Isn't it because there is an army? Hmph, why did he train this strong army? Isn't it up to the Americans and the British? Isn't it the same as accepting financial support from foreigners? There is also Yuan Shikai, he seems to have been very close to the Germans recently, why can't they and me? ”

"Yixian, I'm ......" Huang Xing opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Keqiang, don't worry!" Seeing that Huang Xing wanted to speak and stopped, Sun Wen shook his head, "This time you go to negotiate with Li Zhigao, don't worry about anything, and don't put your posture too low, we are not going to ask him, but to cooperate with him!" In fact, if he insists on going his own way, it will just let the world see his ugly face clearly, and when the time comes, we will have a big deal to change places, launch a movement to protect the law, and call on governors from all over the country to jointly raise troops against him Li Zhigao! Uphold the dignity of the country's constitution! ”

"What? Raise an army to fight against Li Zhigao? Never, never! Huang Xing was shocked when he heard this, "Li Zhigao doesn't mention anything else, just talking about the army, it can be said that it is the strongest army in the world, and it is up to the army to fight?" Instead, it gave him the truth and destroyed our power! ”

"Keqiang, you think too highly of him." Sun Wen shook his head disdainfully, "Hmph, how long has he been in the early stages of Li Zhigao?" But he was born in a businessman, what kind of character do you really think you are? It's just a thief. As for what is the strongest army in the world? That's even more of a joke, he just won a few games by luck, and he thought he was really invincible? Speaking of which, how did he get those victories? The attack on Nanjing was because of the uprising in the Ninth Town, and the new army in Wuhan was also because the new army in Wuhan itself revolted, and his soldiers took advantage of the situation to attack it. As for the Nanjing crusade army of the Qing court, hehe, if it weren't for Yuan Shikai's ill-intentioned intentions and ordering the army to retreat, with the little soldiers and horses in Nanjing, the Beiyang New Army would have destroyed him a long time ago. ”

"Not really." Huang Xing shook his head, "I have dealt with Zhao Changtian's army, which is an advanced army with strict discipline, high morale and advanced weapons, especially their weapon configuration, even the great powers are just like that. Although the Beiyang Army is strong, it is still a little worse than Li Zhigao's Jiangnan Army, it is nothing more than a small number of people, but even such a small number of people is not to be underestimated. Don't forget, at the beginning, Li Zhigao took less than 10,000 people, set out from Nanjing, fought all over Zhejiang's invincible opponents, annihilated the main force of Zhejiang's new army, and then fought back leisurely, which made the Taiping New Army famous, but in order to avoid the word Taiping, everyone called them the Tu Army or the Jiangnan Army. In short, the Jiangnan Army with this army as the backbone is definitely a behemoth, we can only outwit it, and we must not be reckless. ”

"Keqiang, you are growing up the prestige of others and destroying your own ambition." Sun Wen said dissatisfiedly, "Although I have never directly commanded the troops, I also know a truth, that is, the unrighteous have little help, and the righteous have much help." Li Zhigao is so capricious, even if there is an army? The Manchu army was strong, right? No, it's still the same, and destruction is just around the corner. No matter how strong Li Zhigao's army is, can it strengthen the Manchu Qing Dynasty? Can it be stronger than the Beiyang Army? As long as we launch a public opinion offensive and let everyone see his villainous face clearly, then his people will be separated from morality, and no matter how strong the army is, it will be ours sooner or later. What's more, his army is not very good in my opinion, it is nothing more than advanced weapons, as long as the Japanese are willing to continue to support us, we will be able to train a strong army sooner or later, no worse than his. ”

"Yixian, you, you are whimsical!" Huang Xing was anxious, "How can you think so?" ”

"Revolution is whimsical, dare not think and dare to do, how can we achieve great things, how can we save this suffering country and nation?" Sun Wen waved his hand, "Okay, let's do it today, let's not discuss this topic anymore." In short, you can negotiate with Li Zhigao, but you must not weaken the prestige of our revolutionaries, and you must not be inferior to others. In short, we are not asking Him, on the contrary, it is He who asks us, and you must remember that! (To be continued......)
