Chapter 103: The Return of the Cannon

Facing Zhang Taiyan's question, Wang Dongcheng smiled slightly: "Mr. Zhang, President Tao said to me when he went out of Sichuan, when he founded the Republic of China, a new country will be born in the hands of my generation, this is not only an honor, but also a responsibility, we must be responsible for the people of the world, we must be responsible for the development of the country in the future, we must stand at the height of the whole country and carefully consider everything, Qiao Dudu and I have told the founding of the United States, their constitution has been used for more than 100 years, There is no word change, just some amendments have been added, and the Americans can do this is that the sages who founded the country were able to proceed from the overall situation, not for their own interests, for example, the Americans were Puritans, because of religious persecution and ran to the New World of America, but after these people gained power, they did not turn around and discriminate against Catholics, but stipulated in the constitution that the state religion was not allowed. The Republic of China is not so easy to establish, maybe our generation will be poked in the backbone by future generations! ”

Tao Chengzhang and Zhang Taiyan didn't expect Wang Dongcheng to accuse the factions vying for power and profit, but if they think about it carefully, Wang Dongcheng's words are also very reasonable.

"Mr. Wang can have such insight, it is a blessing in the world!"

"Hehe, Mr. Taiyan praised it falsely, these are all confessed by Qiao Dudu, I just made a microphone, although Qiao Dudu is not very old, but he has traveled in Europe and the United States for more than five years, and he thinks deeply about many things, which is thought-provoking!"

Tao Chengzhang also interjected, "I heard Minister Wang say that I must go to visit Qiao Dudu, I heard that Sichuan has now implemented a lot of new policies, such as salt policy, such as centijin, and rent and interest restrictions, which are all good things for the benefit of the country and the people, and now the Chinese people are too bitter, the most important thing is to let the people fill up alone, in my opinion, what is boiled in the republic is not worth a steamed bun!" It's a pity that some people only know how to compete for power and profit, tilt against each other, and shout about revolution again and again, but they don't want to look down at those ordinary people! ”

Wang Dongcheng has long known that the Restoration Society and the Alliance will not deal with each other, and now when he sees that the contradiction is bigger than he imagined, he admires Qiao Yu's vision more and more, if he can pull the Liberation Society to his side, even if the Kuomintang gains power, Sichuan will be as stable as Mount Tai!

"President Tao can be admired by the people, but now the Republic of China is about to be established, such as the capital, the national flag, the national system, and the political system, these are all things to consider clearly, if you can't make a good start, I am afraid that the future Republic of China will continue to be troubled, and all disputes will be planted by us!"

"Our Guangfu Association has always advocated a racial revolution first, overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the matter of Ming Cook can be postponed to talk about it, from now on, it seems that the provinces of Reading Power have a tendency to be divided, and if it continues to develop like this, it will be a tragedy in the late Han Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty, so I think this country should be handed over to a strong man to manage, it stands to reason that Yuan Shikai is a more suitable person, with strength and prestige, but this person is from an old-style bureaucratic background, I am afraid that he will not be able to abide by the law and act in accordance with the Ming Cook system!"

"President Tao, Qiao Dudu also told me about this, a country as big as China cannot be changed overnight, and the most important thing to avoid now is to fall apart and become a colony of the great powers, although Yuan Shikai is not perfect, but as a transitional figure, it is completely okay, in addition, can't you make a fuss about the political system, establish a responsible cabinet, and be able to restrain Yuan Shikai very well!"

Zhang Taiyan also slapped his thigh when he heard this, "That's right, Yuan Shikai is indeed a good candidate, but now that Sun Wen is about to return to China, he is determined to win the president, I'm afraid things are not so easy to do!" ”

"If the two agree to support Yuan Shikai as president, we can join hands to elect Yuan Shikai to the throne, and at the same time form a responsible cabinet and carry forward the Ming Cook, as long as we can hold on for a period of time and the people's wisdom is opened, our China will be able to embark on the road of Ming Cook."

Tao Chengzhang and Zhang Taiyan were originally interested in Qiao Yu's reforms in Sichuan, so he wanted to find Wang Dongcheng to learn more about the situation, and now when it comes to this, the two sides are going to establish an alliance, Sichuan is a big province, and it is also the first province to take the lead in the revolution, and the strength is strong, if you can win the ally of Sichuan, you can also develop the influence of the Restoration Society to the whole country, not limited to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so Tao Chengzhang is very tempted, Zhang Taiyan is the same, the two of them glanced at each other and made up their minds.

"Minister Wang, it's naturally a good thing that the two of us can unite, but it's still a little weak and difficult to compete with Sun Huang!"

Wang Dongcheng said with a smile: "Mr. Taiyan, when I came, I had already visited Governor Li Yuanhong, and he was also on our side, in addition, I heard that Song Jiaoren is also a gentleman, with the world in mind, I think as long as we can unite together, we can prevent the alliance from acting arbitrarily!" ”

"Well, Father Song Yufu is still a person who understands the overall situation, and he also advocates the nomination of Yuan Shikai as president, I think we can communicate with him first, and we must contact as many allies as possible!" Tao Chengzhang immediately agreed.

"I'm very interested in the reform of Sichuan, especially the issue of education, I want to go to Sichuan now to investigate, and leave the matter of Nanjing to the two of you!" Zhang Taiyan proposed to go to Sichuan, everyone knew that it might be true that he went to inspect education, but the bigger purpose was to establish direct contact with Qiao Yu, after all, he was the real master of Sichuan, and Tao Chengzhang was in Jiangsu and Zhejiang because he was going to take charge of Jiangsu, so he could only go to Sichuan, and the two sides immediately discussed properly, Zhang Taiyan went straight to Sichuan, and Wang Dongcheng and Tao Chengzhang contacted allies everywhere.

On December 20, 1911, Sun Wen arrived in Shanghai, returned to China with revolutionary enthusiasm, and was warmly welcomed by all walks of life in China.

Chen Qimei and others demanded that Sun Wen be elected as the provisional president and be responsible for the formation of a political axe, but Tao Chengzhang, Song Jiaoren, Wang Dongcheng and Hubei representative Ma Boyuan resolutely opposed it, but demanded that Yuan Shikai be elected as president and strive for peace between the north and the south!

"Mr. Sun is a revolutionary leader with high prestige, and he should be the president, Yuan Shikai is just an old-style bureaucrat, and he is now the first and the second end, how can such a person be the president! Weren't you bought by Yuan Shikai? Chen Qimei jumped up and down at the congress, furious.

Tao Chengzhang had long been at odds with Chen Qimei, and when he jumped out at this time, Tao Chengzhang naturally had to stand up and fight in the ring.

"We elected the president to stabilize China and quickly overthrow the Manchu rule, Yuan Shikai holds the Beiyang New Army, has outstanding prestige and is very capable, if he can fight back, the world will be able to quickly pacify, China will not fall into fragmentation, our generation of revolutionaries should not have the world in their hearts! I don't care about personal honor and disgrace, Sun Wen didn't participate in the reading power of the provinces, and he has no size at all, why should he be the president, just because he can shout slogans? ”

For a while, everyone in the venue was also stupid, the original intention was to elect Sun Wen is a logical thing, everyone is also a favor, don't look at the president It sounds good, but now the political axe wants money and no money, and there is no one to ask for people, it is a mess, it is better not to get involved, but the Liberation Society, Song Jiaoren, and the representatives of Sichuan and Hubei provinces stood up to oppose it, which also made everyone have another thought, it seems that things are not as simple as they imagined.
