"Mr. Zhang can come to Sichuan, it is really brilliant, welcome!"

Zhang Taiyan was in his forties at this time, he looked energetic, and his face was full of smiles after meeting Qiao Yu: "Qiao Dudu, what a young hero, I have traveled all the way and found that Sichuan has changed a lot after the revolution, commerce and trade are prosperous, and the people live in peace are all due to Qiao Dudu!" ”

"Mr. Taiyan is polite, the revolution should serve the people and let the people benefit, otherwise what will we do with the revolution!"

The two of them came to the living room after a few simple greetings, sat opposite each other, and Qiao Yu spoke first: "Mr. Taiyan, there must be something to teach you when you come from afar, Qiao Mou listens!" ”

Zhang Taiyan laughed: "Qiao Dudu, I came to Sichuan this time is just two things, the first is to hope that we can really form an alliance, promote constitutionalism, as soon as possible to enrich the country and strengthen the army, the second is a little bit of my private matter, I came to ask Qiao Dudu's views on education, not long ago I heard that Qiao Dudu is ready to vigorously promote science and engineering education, for industrial development to cultivate talents, I want to explore how this education should develop!" ”

Qiao Yu smiled slightly: "Mr. Taiyan, if we want to cooperate, we must always have common political opinions, and we can't unite together just for the sake of interests like friends in history, I want to ask Mr. Taiyan how he thinks about the future political trend?" ”

"Qiao Dudu is going to test me, then I will be ugly, simply put, it is the eight-character revolutionary army is prosperous, the revolutionary party is eliminated, such as the general trend of the revolution has been achieved today, seeing that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is about to fall, it can be said that the revolutionary army is booming, so what should I do next, it is very simple to build the country, establish a constitutional government, and implement a republican system, and the most critical thing to implement the republican system is to establish a political party, relying on political parties to take turns to govern, just like Europe and the United States.

And is the current revolutionary party a real party? In my opinion, it is not, the Jianghu Hui Party has serious habits, many factions, and a lack of common political beliefs, at first everyone was trying to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty, and now the Manchu Qing Dynasty is about to perish, after this premise is lost, the revolutionary parties of various factions will inevitably be divided in order to compete for power and profit, and China will fall into the abyss from which it will never recover! Therefore, the most urgent task at the moment is to eliminate the differences between the original revolutionary party and the constitutional party, as well as within the revolutionary party, and strive to establish a new ruling party to rule China. ”

When Qiao Yu heard Zhang Taiyan say the famous slogan of "the revolutionary army is prosperous, the revolutionary party is eliminated", his heart was also full of emotion, this slogan was later criticized by Sun Wen, saying that this is to dissolve the League, give up the revolutionary leadership, is a compromise, and now listen to Zhang Taiyan personally explain this slogan, Qiao Yu has a completely different view, and his heart is also impressed by Zhang Taiyan's extraordinary insight, and the trend of China in the future has completely verified his judgment. It is a pity that this kind of good thinking has also been completely abandoned with the severance of China's constitutional road.

"Mr. Taiyan Gao sees that the revolutionary party is just a general term for groups that oppose the Manchu Qing Dynasty, including the League Society, the Guangfu Society, the Gongjin Association, the Huaxing Society, and so on, and now there are more constitutionalist factions, and there are chaos, we must first eliminate factional disputes, harmony and difference, and prevent the split of China, I sent Wang Dongcheng to Nanjing earlier, in fact, there is this plan, take the initiative to elect Yuan Shikai as the provisional president, bridge the disputes between the north and the south, and at the same time integrate various forces, form a political party, and strive to promote constitutional government, But it didn't work out! ”

Zhang Taiyan heard Qiao Yu show his heart to him, and he couldn't help nodding, and at the same time he also had a sense of confidant in his heart, since he put forward the slogan of the revolutionary army and the revolutionary party, he has been criticized a lot, and now it seems that Qiao Yu also thinks that he is right, I am not alone.

"Governor Qiao doesn't have to be sad, I think we still have a lot of hope, the people of the League are greedy for authority and want to establish a one-party rule, this will not work, I have discussed it with President Tao, we are ready to reorganize the Liberation Society, strive to form a new political party, and ask Governor Qiao to support it when the time comes!"

Qiao Yu couldn't help but think of another person when he heard this, that is, Song Jiaoren, after the peace between the north and the south, Song Jiaoren did not do this, but it is a pity that with his assassination, the road of China's constitutionalism was completely cut off, I don't know if I can seize this opportunity to change the fate of China!

"Mr. Taiyan, don't worry, I will do my best to support it, and I will also contact other provinces to form a broad alliance, not only to prevent reading, but also to prevent splitting!"

After Zhang Taiyan got Qiao Yu's assurance, he stroked his palms and laughed: "With the support of Qiao Dudu, there is hope for the road to constitutionalism!" There is hope for China, too! ”

The two talked very happily and became more and more speculative, but Qiao Yu suddenly remembered something, how could he forget such a big thing, it was really damn bad, so his words changed, and he said to Zhang Taiyan with a smile: "Mr. Taiyan knows that I was subjected to a coup d'état a few days ago and was almost assassinated!"

"Naturally, I know, didn't Pu Dianjun and Yin Changheng and others plan it, I thought at first that Pu Dianjun and others were dedicated to the people and defending the Sichuan Road, but now it seems that it is not as simple as imagined!"

"What I want to say is assassination, Mr. Taiyan has not really established the Republic of China yet, but there are some things that have to be guarded against, don't die before you get out of the army!"

Zhang Taiyan is also a shrewd character, when he heard Qiao Yu suddenly mention preventing assassination, does that mean that he already knows something? Is there anyone going to assassinate himself?

"Qiao Dudu, since I have done the revolution, I am not afraid of sacrifice, I have also been in prison, and I have already seen it!"

Qiao Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Taiyan is not afraid of death, I only know, but we all bear the responsibility, how can we easily die, Wu Luzhen was assassinated some time ago, as for who is the murderer, it is not clear who is the murderer, Mr. Tao Chengzhang is now in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is a place where all forces are mixed, and the danger is very great!" If President Tao makes a mistake, I'm afraid that what we just said will become empty talk! ”

Zhang Taiyan also felt the deep meaning of Qiao Yu's words at this time, and thought about the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang again, and was also worried in his heart, and hurriedly arched his hand at Qiao Yu: "Thank you Qiao Dudu for reminding me, I will warn Chengzhang immediately!" ”

Zhang Taiyan also knew that the matter was urgent, and he forgot to talk to Qiao Yu about education, so he hurriedly sent a report to Tao Chengzhang, Qiao Yu had a strange feeling at this time, if Tao Chengzhang could escape the assassination, would the famous commission be ruined in the future, and would it still be able to be reused by the Sun family?

Although Sun Wen was formally sworn in as provisional president on January 1, 1912, the controversy over the political system did not end, but became more and more intense; Song Jiaoren, Tao Chengzhang, Zhang Jian, and others all advocated the implementation of the cabinet prime minister system, while Sun Wen resolutely advocated the implementation of the presidential system, and the senators composed of representatives from various provinces had become like a vegetable market, and the parliamentarians of the two factions were arguing endlessly, each saying their own reasoning, but it was obvious that those who advocated the cabinet prime minister system had the upper hand.

After the first round of voting, more than two-thirds of the people who advocated the implementation of the cabinet prime minister system should have passed smoothly, but at this time, Huang Xing personally rushed into the Senate with the military police, and Huang Xing strode to the podium of the Senate and glanced around.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the matter of the political system is very important, looking at all the countries in the world, only the United States is the best, and it has an irrefutable relationship with the presidential system it implements, the power belongs to one person, you can concentrate your forces to the greatest extent, and avoid ripping, you are all people who have the country in mind, you must be able to weigh these keys clearly, let's vote again!"

Under the coercion of the muzzle, the Senate finally passed the decision to use the presidential system, Song Jiaoren, Tao Chengzhang, and even Wang Dongcheng and others did not expect that Huang Xing would dare to use force to coerce and forcibly pass the bill, and they were immediately indignant, Tao Chengzhang reconvened the old ministry and formed the Guangfu Army, nominally to prepare for the Northern Expedition to the Manchu Dynasty, but in fact he was preparing to set up another mountain pass to resist the League's behavior of treating national law as child's play.

Qiao Yu also got Wang Dongcheng's report, and his heart ached, but he was afraid that the root of the Republic of China had been buried, and the road to constitutionalism had not yet begun.
