108841908 Far Eastern madman

。 Cha is a heroic figure who once dominated the political arena. Yuan Shikai died, and about his wishes, the seven divisions said that they were very different from the official version.

Folklore has it that Yuan Shikai was scared to death. Those who were frightened to death by the riot of the banner people in the capital have different opinions as to whether they were scared to death by the sound of gunfire or by the sound of explosions. There is even a theory that Yuan Shikai was actually scared to death by the ghost of the Guangxu Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because it is said that Yuan Shikai sent someone to poison the emperor who had been a puppet all his life. After the emperor's death, he was resentful, and he had been wandering around Yingtai, where he was imprisoned, and finally found an opportunity to take Yuan Shikai's life, avenging himself and the overturned Qing Dynasty.

As for the official statement, it is full of officialdom. According to the communiqué officially issued by the Beiyang Central Government. Yuan Shikai was tired to death, for the state affairs to do his best, although he suffered a stroke and paralyzed, but the former provisional president of the Republic of China still insisted on guiding the central work, so that the condition was further aggravated, just the day after the banner people launched the riot in the capital, Yuan Shikai's brain disease relapsed, and it was postponed until late that night and finally died. He died at the age of forty-nine, just a few days away from his fiftieth birthday.

In addition to the folk version and the official version. According to Yuan Shikai's personal situation, Yuan Shikai's death is directly related to the current political situation.

No matter which statement the people believe, all in all, Yuan Shikai is dead, and the Beiyang Group has lost its true soul.

Whether the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, or the true feelings are revealed, the central government of Beiyang has done the posthumous affairs of Yuan Shikai in a beautiful way, not only set up a mourning hall in the presidential palace, but even ordered the military governments across the country to fly their flags at half-mast to mourn, and warmly invited the real power figures of the military governments of various provinces to go to the capital to mourn.

However, not many people went, and none of the powerful cross-faced figures from various places showed up in Beijing, but only sent some personal representatives to the presidential palace to offer condolences, and even the leading figures of the Beiyang Army in the south only sent representatives to Beijing, and as for Zhao Bei and Zhao Zhenhua, the strongest powerful figures in the south and chairman of the United Front, the representative he sent was Zhang Xiaozhun, who had served as a senior military adviser to Yuan Shikai. In addition, Song Jiaoren, a leading figure of the constitutionalist faction of the United Front, also went to the presidential palace to express his condolences to Yuan Shikai and wrote a telegram of condolence as a supplement to Chairman Zhao's message of condolence.

Those who went to the presidential palace to mourn Yuan Shikai were also those envoys of various countries in China, especially the British Minister to China Zhu Erdian was the most sad, as for whether he was sad about the loss of Yuan Shikai, a "sharp friend of the Far East" or sad about the current situation in the Far East, no one understood.

The condolence activities of the presidential palace lasted for several days, as soon as the "first seven" passed, the mourning activities were over, Yuan Shikai's coffin was immediately moved out of the presidential palace, escorted by the presidential palace guards, and transferred to the Biyun Temple in Xishan on the outskirts of Beijing for temporary storage, according to Yuan Shikai's will, his coffin will eventually be sent back to his hometown in Xiangcheng, Henan, and buried there, the central government of Beiyang has allocated special funds for the construction of Yuan Shikai's mausoleum, the specifications are completely in accordance with the treatment of the official president, of course, the opinions of the Congress have been consulted in advance, although the debate is very fierce, Eventually, however, Congress approved the treatment.

After a period of disturbance, by the time Yuan Shikai's posthumous affairs were almost done, it was already early autumn, and the first plenary session of the National Assembly of the Republic of China opened in this golden autumn season.

The current National Assembly is still located in Nanshi, Shanghai. Although the north is already full of fallen leaves, the land south of the Yangtze River is still green, and the "autumn tiger" is still rampant, and the weather is still a little hot at noon.

There are not many pedestrians on the streets, the newsboys are very deserted, and there is basically no report on Yuan Shikai's funeral in the contents of the newspapers they sell. Although for most people, they have to run for their lives whether the Congress is convened or not, but for politicians, this Congress is still very meaningful, because this is the first time that the people of this country have carried out such political activities, and many frustrated politicians hope to make some political capital for themselves through this political activity, if possible. They also intend to join a political force through this open distribution of power.

In fact, the National Assembly held its first meeting of all members the day before yesterday to discuss the current situation in the whole country, and voted to approve the list of cabinet members that had been determined with great difficulty, and then the first formal cabinet of the Republic of China was formally established, and all that remained was to wait for the swearing-in of President Xu Shichang and Vice President Zhao Bei.

In foreign countries, the swearing-in of the head of state is generally in the legislature, such as the House of Representatives, the National Assembly. But for the current Republic of China, the situation is completely different, Xu Shichang refused to go south to Shanghai. Zhao Bei also refused to go south to Shanghai, and both the presidents refused to go to the National Assembly to swear allegiance to the law in front of the parliamentarians, which was very helpless, and after the congressmen's appeals were invalid, they had to agree to the two of them taking the oath of office in Beijing and Zhengzhou respectively.

In fact, just the afternoon before yesterday, Xu Shichang had announced his inauguration as the official president of the Republic of China in front of Song Jiaoren and others in the presidential palace in Beijing. Extra! Zhao Zhenhua has been sworn in this morning! ”

"Congress has released the appointment of governors in each province! Wu Chongxi, the former governor of Henan, was inaugurated as the governor of Henan. Zhao Zhenhua's swearing-in ceremony was presided over by Wu Chongxi! ”

Zhu Jiabao officially resigned as the governor of Jiangsu. And recommended Xu Baoshan, the former guard of northern Jiangsu, to succeed him! Today's National Assembly meeting will discuss the election of the governor of Jiangsu! ”

"Anhui Governor Jiang Guidi and Henan Governor Zhao Kui jointly sent a telegram in Xuzhou to congratulate the convening of the Congress! The Shanxi Northwest Army has been withdrawn one after another, and the defense of Shanxi will be fully taken over by the RUF forces."

Amid the shouts of the newsboys, a horse-drawn carriage stopped at the corner of the street, and a manservant stepped out of the car and bought a few newspapers from the newsboys. Then quickly walk back to the car, after the door closes. The carriage continued to move in the direction of the concession.

There were a few people sitting in the carriage, except for Liang Shiyu, the others were his servants, and this time he went to the concession to drink tea in Zhangyuan.

Now Liang Shizhao is still the general office of the Bank of Communications, and he was still very hopeful to serve as the deputy minister of finance, but due to the opposition of the united front, the current deputy minister of finance is a person from the united front, but this belongs to the normal exchange of political interests between the Beiyang group and the united front, Liang Shiyu does not have too many complaints, but Xiong Xiling sighed about it, as for whether it is true or false, Liang Shizhao is not interested in caring.

Originally, because Duan Qirui refused to cut military spending, Liang Shizhao had resolutely resigned, and Xu Shichang was also ready to approve, but unexpectedly caught up with the riot of the banner people in Beijing, and Yuan Shikai also died violently because of this matter, and the people of Beiyang were panicked. Earnestly helped President Xu Da to sort out the finances of the Bank of Communications.

However, the first trouble encountered after staying in office was the formal establishment of the "China Financial United Bank", which was transformed from the Xincheng Bank of the Ministry of Tingbi, this bank has a very unusual background, it is a financial institution of the United Front, and the actual backstage boss is Zhao Bei, the chairman of the United Front, so as soon as this bank was formed, it showed an aggressive posture, which made Liang Shizhi and Xu Shichang feel threatened.

However, Liang Shizhi also had a conflict with all Tingbi, and Xincheng Bank suffered a run on depositors. The Ministry of Tingbi's capital turnover is not effective, so Liang Shizhao fell into the ground, tried to annex the Prudential Bank, and relied on the support of Beiyang to directly threaten the Ministry of Tingbi, the two of them have a grudge, now the Beiyang Group and the United Front are strong and weak, who can guarantee that the Ministry Tingbi will not retaliate?

In fact, Liang Shizhao has already heard the rumors, according to the Belgian consortium, "certain Chinese financiers" are trying to negotiate directly with the Jinghan Railway Holding Consortium, and they will redeem all the rights to operate and manage the Jinghan Railway. Looking at the financial industry across the country, who has such courage and courage except for the China Financial United Bank?

The Jinghan Railway is a matter of national sovereignty, and the negotiations for the redemption of the railway actually began last year, when the Qing court was not finished, and the negotiations were interrupted because of the outbreak of the revolution. But now someone is going to intervene. How could Liang Shizhao not be angry?

"Troubled Nation"

Looking at the newspaper, Liang Shizhao sighed, but no one answered, except for him, everyone else in the carriage was a servant, not even a government attaché, of course, no one dared to answer.

Fortunately, he quickly entered the concession and rushed to Zhang Yuan. The carriage stopped, Liang Shiyi took the servants out of the car, walked into Zhang Garden, and rushed to the tearoom to taste tea, and whether there were any old friends here. When he arrived in Shanghai a few days ago, he has been busy with this railway negotiation, and he has to assist Xiong Xiling to discuss financial loans with foreign consortiums.

Before entering the tea room, Liang Shiyu had already seen Zhang Shuhe, the owner of Zhang Garden, waiting at the door, and seeing Liang Shizhi arrive, Zhang Shuhe hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. The two exchanged a few polite words, and Uncle Zhang got back to business.

"Mr. Liang, there is a guest who has been waiting in the tea room for a long time and wants to say a few words to Mr. Liang."

"Who?" Liang Shiyi was not surprised, this garden is a frequent place for politicians, and it is not surprising that a few acquaintances have enjoyed tea here.

"Bushun Line"

"Zou Tingbi?"

Liang Shizhi felt a little surprised, just now in the carriage he was still worried that Zou Tingbi would stumble on him, and now, the southeast financial industrialist who had been next to the big tree actually named him to talk to him, no wonder Liang Shiyi felt strange.

The so-called "It's not that enemies don't get together", Liang Shizhao could only sigh in his heart.

"Zou Tingbi came alone?" Liang Shizhao asked.

"There's an American with him." Zhang Shuhe said.

After hesitating for a moment, Liang Shiyi still decided to meet the banker, what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.
