"What do you say? During my absence, what kind of provisional Senate of the Republic of China did you have? What provisional outline was adopted? At the meeting, the original covenant we signed was abolished? also pardoned Chen Qimei? ”

"Yes." Facing the stunned Li Zhigao, Liu Runsheng just smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It is the election meeting of the provisional senate of the Republic of China, at which the organizational outline of the provisional government of the Republic of China was adopted, and the new president, vice president and prime minister were elected at the meeting. According to the new regulations, the provisional government that you originally set up with Yuan Shikai will not be counted, and you will follow the regulations of the new government in the future. ”

"What a joke!" Li Zhigao suddenly became angry, "I've only been away for a few days, why did you do this?" ”

"You've been gone for more than a month." Liu Runsheng sighed, "As soon as you left, Sun Wen came back, originally I didn't care much, who knew that Sun Wen's influence was so great, as soon as he came back, he was crowded, and the call was very high." Then, taking advantage of the situation, he announced that he would continue to convene the provisional Senate election meeting of the Republic of China, and the venue was set in Nanjing. As a result, everyone soon gathered in Nanjing and brazenly convened a meeting for the election of the provisional Senate of the Republic of China. Originally, I didn't approve of it, but Mr. Tao Chengzhang was very much in favor of it, and provided a venue, and you weren't there, so we couldn't prevent them from having a meeting, so we ......"

"Tao Chengzhang? This bastard! I worked with me for a long time to raise a white-eyed wolf? Li Zhigao slapped the table, "What about Zhao Changtian?" What does he eat, why doesn't he ......?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly couldn't continue, because it was Li Zhigao himself who stipulated that soldiers could not interfere in politics, and those who were soldiers were only responsible for leading troops to fight and defend cities, and the government was responsible for internal affairs and the like. Soldiers cannot meddle unless they give orders themselves.

Although the actual host of Nanjing is Qian Shide, the head of the entire Jiangnan government is Tao Chengzhang. According to the original regulations, in Li Zhigao's absence, the military and the government were separated and went their own way. Tao Chengzhang is responsible for the government, and Liu Runsheng is responsible for military power and supervision.

At the same time, Tao Chengzhang is also the vice chairman of the Liberation Party, a proper No. 3 person, and what he said to Liu Runsheng at the time was that holding this meeting could unite most of the parties and introduce more talents, which was also beneficial to the chairman.

is an introduction of talents, which impressed Liu Runsheng, who has a very average level. But no one expected that the Alliance, or Sun Wen's influence, would be so great, and they were very treacherous, taking advantage of Li Zhigao's absence, they quickly passed a series of temporary covenants, and used the means of participation and election to negate the temporary covenants signed by Li Zhigao and Yuan Shikai before. He also snatched the presidential throne.

That is, in accordance with the spirit of the new conference. The interim president will be Sun Wen, Li Zhigao will remain the premier of the State Council, and Yuan Shikai will only be the vice president.

What's even more annoying is that the previous agreement between Li Zhigao and Yuan Shikai was only a negotiation agreement between the north and the south with various governors, and it was only circulated among the governors of all parties. did not really convene a Senate election meeting, so according to the procedure, Sun Wen is the real first openly elected president of the Republic of China, and Li Zhigao and Yuan Shikai originally engaged in it. It's just a private distribution of fertilizer, and you can't do it.

Yuan Shikai is busy raising funds and training troops, and he has no time to deal with this side, and Li Zhigao is not there, Tao Chengzhang is an idealist, although he has had a gap with the alliance before, but he is dissatisfied with the system of one country and two governments that Li Zhigao and Yuan Shikai engaged in before, and secondly, he also wants to use this Senate election meeting to create a real government.

In fact, Tao Chengzhang's original intention was to use the name of this Senate election to quickly integrate the forces in the south and make his own forces orthodox, and then he could use the name of orthodoxy to crusade against Yuan Shikai and then unify the country.

I have to say that Tao Chengzhang's idea is still very good according to his position, and he mainly wants Li Zhigao to become the leader, and wants to rely on this meeting to give Li Zhigao a yellow robe, but what he didn't expect was that Sun Wen, the Alliance, and even many comrades in the Guangfu Party betrayed him, and in the end, Sun Wen was added to the candidate for the president.

Originally, Sun Wen was supposed to accompany the prince to study, and Sun Wen was added as a candidate in order to give the outside world an impression of a fair election, but who knew that Sun Wen was elected president.

In other words, Tao Chengzhang was given a shadow by someone, because he had already agreed with Sun Wen and all parties before, saying that Li Zhigao would be elected president, and others could enter the government, such as Sun Wen could be given a vice president, and Huang Xing could be given a position such as a senator or army staff officer, and they all agreed at the time, but in the end it became like this.

Although he was overshadowed, if Tao Chengzhang is an idealist, even if the result is not satisfactory, he still asks for the election to be recognized. According to his words, since it is an open election, it must be recognized, otherwise if it is not recognized at the beginning, then this Senate will no longer have authority, and if it is not authoritative, the national government will have no authority. Besides, that president is a temporary president, and if he has a term of office, he will be elected when the time comes.

In the face of this kind of divine turn, Li Zhigao also felt a headache, because he still made Sun Wen the name of the first president of the Republic of China, and he still underestimated him, don't look at him without soldiers, power and territory, but the appeal is there, far from being comparable to himself who has only risen for a year.

Could it be that this is the so-called inertia of history?

In short, after these things, Li Zhigao suddenly discovered that although he has made a lot of achievements, in the eyes of the world, he is actually an opportunistic warlord with some strength, and Sun Wen is the real pillar of the country in the eyes of those intellectuals.

This matter seems to be an opportunistic trick by Sun Wen and others, but according to what Liu Runsheng said, the Senate is really holding an open election under the organization of Tao Chengzhang. At the meeting, the people of the League were not actually superior, and even belonged to the minority, but their Liberation Party accounted for half of the seats, but in the end, everyone still elected Sun Wen, and he was elected with a high vote, which shows how much influence Sun Wen has.

What is the Crowd's Expectation? That's it.

Of course, to put it bluntly, this matter is also a pit for himself, when he first raised the army. If you don't make any revolution, just simply rebel, or even become emperor from the beginning, there won't be so many bad things.

However, Li Zhigao's level at that time was there, and everything came too hastily. Li Zhigao didn't think about how to go in the future, he only thought about grabbing land, and the rest was to take one step at a time, although in the end he and Yuan Shikai and other governors made a joint senate of provincial governors, but that thing was strictly speaking indeed irregular, so the revolutionary party took advantage of the loopholes.

All in all, Li Zhigao's political literacy is quite immature, and his understanding of his own power is not clear, and in layman's terms. I want to be a bitch and I want to set up a memorial arch, and I am obviously very interested in the emperor, but I am afraid that the emperor will have a bad reputation, and I am afraid that the power will be insufficient, and the queen will lead to the consequences of Yuan Shikai, so in the end I did not take that step, but took the road of the Republic of China.

However, Li Zhigao also knows that since he took the road of the Republic of China. There is no turning back, and I have experienced this turmoil. After all, the Qing government has broken the hearts of the people, and the people are tired of the imperial system, thinking that the Republic of China will be better, unless the Republic of China disappoints the people again, otherwise the restoration is looking for death.

The most obvious example of this is the French Revolution. During the French Revolution, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat personally guillotined the emperor and set up a republic. There were years of war, and in the end the fruits of the revolution were swallowed up by careerists, so the later dynasty restoration could be successful, but the restored dynasty was no longer the Bourbon dynasty, but the Napoleonic family and the Orleans family.

Similarly, if Li Zhigao still wants to be the emperor now, then he can only do a good job in his own territory, while not caring about the life or death of other places, so that the common people are gradually tired of the rule of the Republic of China, and then he can rise to the throne and rely on his huge prestige to become the emperor, but in this way, it will take too long, and it will be a harm to the national strength and people's strength, but it is not what Li Zhigao wants to see.

"By the way, what about Tao Chengzhang?" Li Zhigao, who calmed down, asked with a gloomy face.

"He's still in Nanjing." Liu Runsheng said cautiously, "It is said that Nanjing has established a provisional presidential palace, and Tao Chengzhang is the vice premier of the State Council. ”

"What about the army? Is there any abnormality? ”

"Nope." Liu Runsheng immediately shook his head, "Whether it is a field division, a reserve division or a newly recruited army, all of them are under our control, and they are trained in the barracks on weekdays, and there is absolutely no hindrance." Even Zhao Changtian, although he is in Nanjing, he usually trains in the barracks on the outskirts of Nanjing, and he does not leave the barracks easily. ”

"Looks like you haven't gotten home yet!" Li Zhigao snorted coldly.

"Yes, even so, but in short, this matter is the old slave's fault." Li Zhigao hurriedly bowed his head, "It's because the old slave didn't do a good job, and it ruined the master's big thing, you, why don't you remove me." ”

Hearing him say this, Li Zhigao shook his head secretly in his heart, and knew in his heart that Liu Runsheng only climbed to this position because he had just followed him and was loyal, and it was okay to be a housekeeper, but if he wanted to let him be alone, he would really be wronged, and he couldn't do it.

In other words, the reason why Liu Runsheng was able to control the troops and other relevant departments was only because of his loyalty to himself and his own tiger skin, if he was gone, with his ability, he would never be able to look down on the family business left by Li Zhigao, in fact, it was precisely because of his lack of ability and ambition that Li Zhigao was so relieved of him, not entirely for his sake with himself.

Thinking of this, Li Zhigao slowed down his tone and said softly: "Lao Liu, the matter has come to this, don't say anything about frustration, you are the person I trust the most, how could I remove you?" Moreover, I know that this is not your fault, and I am mainly to blame for using people inappropriately, and I am to blame for my hesitation and lack of determination, so you don't have to take it too seriously. In fact, it doesn't matter who is president or not, having a gun is the most important thing. ”

"Yes, thank you for your understanding." Liu Runsheng's eyes immediately turned red, "Being able to know the master is the most worthwhile thing in my life." ”

"Why do you say master?" Li Zhigao said angrily, "You are my subordinate now, don't do that, it's not good for people to listen to it." ”

"But, but I'm obviously the master's ......"

"Okay, I've said it, so don't talk about it." Li Zhigao waved his hand, "By the way, how is Jin Shui doing recently?" ”

"Huh? Gold water? Hearing Li Zhigao suddenly change the topic, Liu Runsheng was a little uncomfortable for a while. However, it soon became clear that the other party didn't want to talk about the previous topic anymore, so he no longer expressed his loyalty, and followed, "She, she has been studying in the Taiping Academy." Everything is fine, but I always miss my husband, and I always want to go back to him. ”

"This girl, what can I learn from my side, it's purely to delay my youth." Li Zhigao smiled and shook his head, "Tell her, study hard in school, be her student with peace of mind, and don't be so impulsive." ”

"Now. I can't control her. Liu Runsheng sighed, glanced at Li Zhigao quietly, and then continued, "Now she opens and closes her mouth to say what Mr. says, and takes Mr.'s words as a golden rule." And, as far as I know, she also formed a Red Guard regiment at school and became the head of the regiment. There are a lot of people under him, and they are also a tyrant in school. ”

"Red Guards? What is that? ”

"It's a young people's organization." Liu Runsheng nodded. "The purpose of this regiment is to take the will of the gentleman as the supreme will, the loyalty to the gentleman as the highest honor, and the idea of protecting the gentleman as the supreme idea. In short, everything you say is right, everything is against you, sir. They are all reactionaries, and they must be resolutely defeated. Hey, I don't know what she thinks, don't say it, many people believe in her. It seems that many young students in the school have joined, and now there are more than 200 people. ”

"This, this...... You're just going to let them mess around? Li Zhigao asked dumbfounded.

"She has applied for a group plan with the school and the government in a bright and bright way, and she relies on you to support her, don't talk about me, even the teachers at the school can't do anything about her." Liu Runsheng shook his head, "Because of this, it has developed so fast. However, I'm a little worried that they're doing it too aggressively, a bit of a sign of boxing chaos back then, which isn't good. ”

"Of course this is not good, isn't this the ...... of the Red Guard" Li Zhigao said this, and suddenly waved his hand, "Forget it, this matter will be talked about later, I will find a time to solve it personally, you go down first, by the way, call Sun Shun in." ”

When Liu Runsheng cautiously exited the door of the room, Li Zhigao shook his head, and suddenly felt that he had failed in what he had done before.

In fact, Li Zhigao can travel back and forth, and returning to the Republic of China is as simple as going home from work, it is said that he should not make this kind of mistake, but it is blamed on his old problems again, of course, it cannot be said that the old problems are too concentrated.

The so-called doing things too intensively, that is, when he deals with something, he always puts all his energy into it, and then he forgets other things.

It's a pity that Li Zhigao forgot to sleep and eat before, but he was not completely busy with business, he was actually enjoying life in modern society and being lazy.

After getting the Portman father and daughter, Li Zhigao's affairs in South Africa were basically safe, and after that, he just hugged Sonia and called Bai Jingshan over and beat him a few times.

In fact, Bai Jingshan is old, and he is not an ambitious person, he was also threatened by Harrison's family at the beginning, so he chose to betray Li Zhigao, and now he sees Li Zhigao turn the tables again, and Harrison is dead, so he naturally transferred to Li Zhigao's command again.

After beating Bai Jingshan, Li Zhigao continued to let him preside over the daily affairs of the company, and everything was as usual, no different from the past.

The reason why he did not dismiss him or even retaliate against him was because Li Zhigao understood that for a modern professional manager like Bai Jingshan, there is actually no need to expect absolute loyalty or disloyalty, even if you change someone, once they face violent intimidation, they should still have to rebel. And Bai Jingshan has worked in the company for many years, has rich experience, has a wide range of channels, and is not bad, with him, the company will continue to develop steadily, without worrying about himself, if he is not there, it will inevitably cause a shock, then it will cost Li Zhigao a lot of spirit, which is not what he is willing to see.

After dealing with the company's affairs, in order to facilitate the collection of so-called souls, he asked Bai Jingshan to find a well-known consulting service company, and asked them to give him statistics on how many Chinese people die every day in the world, among them, recently, that is, within 48 hours, the death cases of Chinese people have been obtained for him.

That is to say, if a Chinese dies within 48 hours, whether they die of illness, accident, or old age, as long as they are Chinese who have recently died, then they will count the four categories of people, including those with a doctorate degree or above, officers at or above the division commander level, recognized famous doctors, and recognized special teachers, and give them a list of the deceased and detailed information on these four categories of people. Include the address of the hospital where the morgue is located.

The consulting company didn't say anything about Li Zhigao's strange request, after all, there are many strange people in this world, and it is not difficult to count death cases. Hospitals are also easy to check, after all, this is the Internet era.

Soon, the other party gave Li Zhigao a list of statistics that could be found within the last 48 hours, with a doctorate, and a list of Chinese who had just died, including not only those who died in that hospital, but also some of the person's life resumes, including what specialties he had. What are the achievements and so on, it can be seen that this company is still quite serious about doing things.

With this statistical table, Li Zhigao was overjoyed, and immediately asked the other party to continue to do statistics in this area every day, and sent the statistical information to Li Zhigao every day, while he was picking and choosing according to the situation in the data. Choose the people you can use, no. Wizard.

Although there are people dying all the time in the world, most of them are ordinary people, and although there are people with doctorates and above, they are in the minority.

The reason why I want a doctorate or above is because Li Zhigao doesn't have time to distinguish the situation of each dead person in detail, so he can only make a big division of ability according to his academic qualifications.

After all. If a person can reach the level of doctorate, even if it is an ordinary school, it proves that he has at least acquired the ability to surpass ordinary people in a certain field, and has the ability to conduct self-research, and emotional intelligence is not easy to say. At least in terms of IQ and knowledge, it must be more than ordinary people, although a doctor may not be equal to a talent, but the proportion of talents in a doctor is definitely the most compared to people with other academic qualifications, at least in the professional field.

There is no need to mention officers above the division commander, even if they have not experienced war, they are not ordinary people, not to mention the second and third generations, there are more than two and three generations in this world, how many can climb to a high position above the division commander in the army? Besides, even if the second and third generations have the ability to climb to the position of a senior officer, it can only show that he is better, after all, they may not be able to fight in actual combat, but the starting point is high, and the vision is definitely wider.

As for famous doctors and teachers, let's not mention it, if they can be recognized as famous doctors or teachers, it is naturally not much different.

Chinese are currently the most populous country, and there are many people dying every day, although Li Zhigao's conditions are a little strange and quite harsh, but they are not difficult to find, but even if these people have reached the standard of ability and education, they cannot fully meet Li Zhigao's wishes, so they have to take time to find it slowly.

It is precisely because of this excuse that Li Zhigao stayed with his parents for a while more in a bright way, and then took Sonia to tour the mountains and rivers every day, enjoy the beach and waves, taste all kinds of food, play various tricks with Sonya, and even found a few young models to play a few times, that enjoyment is definitely incomparable to the Republic of China era.

That is to say, in modern society, as long as you have enough money and are willing to enjoy it, it is definitely a paradise-like life, Li Zhigao is also because he concentrates on having fun, and by the way, he goes to collect a few ghosts and souls that are pleasing to the eye every day, and he can't think about it, so he forgot to return to the Republic of China.

This time he returned to the Republic of China, and he finally collected more than 50 "talents", and felt that he should go back to see it, so he came to the era of the Republic of China, who knew that he would be given such a surprise as soon as he came back.

Obviously, none of the people who can leave a name in history are simple characters, and Sun Wen must have his reason to become a great man in another world. You see, in this world, Li Zhigao and Sun Wen have not met, so this time they gave Li Zhigao a dismissal.

Although in essence, Li Zhigao has not lost much things, such as the political power, territory, and army are still firmly in the hands of Li Zhigao, but these people have a very strong ability to demagogue, and if Li Zhigao continues not to appear, it is difficult to guarantee that some wavering elements will not appear.

At the same time, this incident also exposed some of the shortcomings of the Glorious Party, when he annexed the Restoration Society, originally wanted to absorb talents, but because the whale swallowed too quickly, people's hearts will inevitably be mixed, resulting in many people are not of the same mind as themselves, therefore, it is still very necessary to reorganize the wind, at most it is to kick out the dissidents, and there is no need to engage in such a bloody and bloody situation.

"Otherwise, there are thousands of difficulties, talent is the most difficult thing in the world to manage, fortunately, buddy has a golden finger, or in the future, just fighting with his subordinates, it will cost me more than half of my brain cells." (To be continued......)
