In Shanghai, a dispute between Sun Wen and Huang Xing finally broke out, and it was difficult to reconcile between two stubborn people in the case of contradictory ideas. Huang Xing left Shanghai angrily and returned to his hometown in Hunan by boat, claiming that he would be a farmer with peace of mind from now on.

Sun and Huang each have a group of followers, and Huang Xing's decision means a split within the KMT. The stubborn Sun Yat-sen announced the reorganization of the Kuomintang, and the purpose of this space-time reorganization does not seem to be to fight the Wehrmacht represented by Fang Jianxiong for the time being, but for the general election. Therefore, the name of the Kuomintang continued to be used, and the name of the Chinese Revolutionary Party was too sharp, and after being persuaded by others, Sun decided to give up.

The reorganization of the Kuomintang proceeded quickly, and a group of people led by Chen Qimei and Hu Hanmin swore allegiance to Sun Wen. As the reorganization proceeded, the Kuomintang announced that Sun Wen would be the candidate for the new presidential election.

After Acting President Li Yuanhong announced that a new general election was about to begin, the whole of China fell into an inexplicable euphoria. Fang Jianxiong, the strongest person in China, fulfilled his oath that soldiers would not interfere in politics. At least on the surface, Fang Jianxiong, who is in Jinan, is still a non-party person. He also sent a telegram to the whole country, saying: All officers and men of our national defense forces are not allowed to join political parties. As soon as this order was issued, thousands of Republican members from all over the Wehrmacht announced their withdrawal from the Republican Party.

After the power was turned on, Fang Jianxiong did not enter Beijing as many people expected, but set off from Jinan and headed west to Henan. Fang Jianxiong's purpose is Henan Zhangde.

When he was still the governor of Zhili, because of the burial of his mother. Yuan Shikai was at odds with his brother and rarely returned to his hometown Xiangcheng.

Fang Jianxiong went directly to Zhangde, before Yuan Shikai arrived. Leaving the throne in Beijing, Yuan Shikai's mood naturally did not improve. Sadness and helplessness piled up, and Yuan Shikai became even sicker. Fortunately, taking the train south on this way, Yuan Shikai can still hold on.

When he got off the train in Zhangde, Yuan Shikai's attachés felt that the atmosphere was wrong. The entire railway station is lined with sentry posts and is heavily guarded. It is said that Chapter 129 of Yuan is a chaotic season again, and Shikai has gone into the wilderness, so there is no need to welcome it with such fanfare, right? The people below hurried to report to the eldest prince. Yuan Keding panicked and told Yuan Shikai, who was lying down, about this strange phenomenon.

Yuan Shikai glanced at the panicked Yuan Keding with some disappointment. After reluctantly sitting up, he said indifferently: "I have come out of Beijing City, what else is there to worry about when I get to Zhangde?" "Yuan Shikai has already figured it out, if he insists on fighting. The result will definitely be defeat, and what Fang Jianxiong will do to Yuan Shikai and his family at that time is two concepts. Now that he has taken the initiative to go into the wilderness, if Fang Jianxiong is killed, Yuan Shikai can clap his hands and applaud. Obviously, Fang Jianxiong is not such a person, if he is such a person, he will not be able to win this world.

Soon someone came to report: General Fang Jianxiong, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, greeted President Yuan at the station.

Yuan Keding glared in disbelief when he heard this, and said, "How is it possible? The subordinate of the report said: "Some red banners were pulled up at the station, and it was written that Fang Jianxiong, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, led his troops to greet President Yuan. ”

Yuan Shikai's pale face flushed with a hint of ruddy. After a burst of rapid breathing, I don't know where the strength came from, I stood up and said, "Come on, change clothes." Yuan Keding said: "Father, Fang Fuguo may not have a good heart. Maybe it's here to humiliate you. ”

Yuan Shikai ignored him and went out slowly and steadily. Although anyone can see that Yuan Shikai is struggling to walk, he can still walk very steadily, and Yuan Shikai, who is not tall, is slowly moving like a mountain at this moment.

The time is dusk, sunset on the platform of Zhangdek Province. A young man stood there like a javelin. Behind him was a group of officers with twinkling stars, standing in the same standard posture.

When Yuan Shikai appeared at the door of the car, Fang Jianxiong shouted: "Lizheng!" Welcome President Yuan Da to his hometown! ”

No one knew why, Fang Jianxiong would do this. Yuan Shikai may be the only one who knows the answer. Quite simply, it is worth it just that Yuan Shikai rejected the military intervention of the four countries and strictly adhered to the bottom line of a Chinese. Not to mention, what Yuan Shikai handed over to Fang Jianxiong was not a broken Beiyang, but a complete Beiyang. You must know that when a person gets down from that position, it is difficult to overcome the level in his heart, which is better than ascending to the sky!

But Yuan Shikai did it, although the historical conditions have changed, Yuan Shikai in this time and space has no longer been strong, the Beiyang Army has been strongly confronted by the National Defense Force since Wuhan, and finally the Beiyang Army failed on the battlefield, and Yuan Shikai made a choice that seemed to be a last resort. However, throughout history, there have been people who have invaded and occupied a large area of the country.

All in all, the choice made by Yuan Shikai is not something that can be described. Such a choice is indeed awe-inspiring. Fang Jianxiong didn't know why Yuan Shikai in this time and space would do this, but since he did, Fang Jianxiong had to make enough gestures to tell Yuan Shikai something.

Looking at the heroic young face on the platform, Yuan Shikai's lips trembled slightly a few times, and then he spoke: "Fuguo, I have always regretted not letting you come to Beiyang in the first place." ”

Fang Jianxiong smiled slightly when he heard this, took a step forward, stretched out his hand, Yuan Shikai naturally got on it, and he helped him get out of the car. Then he said, "Let's walk around here together." Fang Jianxiong nodded, the meeting of the two heroes was actually like a friend for many years, Fang Jianxiong supported Yuan Shikai's old body, and slowly walked up on the platform.

"Actually, I know that even if you were asked to go to Beiyang back then, you wouldn't agree. Zhu Jiabao said that you didn't take over the Anhui New Army. I think you've been planning for a long time. Yuan Shikai's tone of voice was unexpectedly relaxed.

"President, to tell you the truth, I didn't plan to make such a big move. When I returned to Shanghai from Germany, I saw foreign warships rampage through the Yangtze River on the docks, and I was confident at that time. Be sure to change this qiē! Fang Jianxiong replied very calmly, and Yuan Shikai let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, very good." I am relieved to have you at the helm of this country in the future. In this way, I made the right choice. ”

It is difficult for Fang Jianxiong to connect the emperor Yuan Shikai in history with the old man in front of him, and in the face of Yuan Shikai's affirmation, Fang Jianxiong replied lightly: "What the president has done for this country, future generations have their own opinions." ”

Yuan Shikai looked at Fang Jianxiong silently, sighed after a long silence, looked up at the sunset on the horizon and dyed the clouds the redest, and said to himself: "Yes, the merits of the thousand autumns, leave it for future generations to comment." ”

Three days later, Yuan Shikai died of illness in the Yuan Mansion in Zhangde. A generation of heroes is gone! Yuan Shikai walked very calmly, and his friend Yan Xiu (who refused to serve as the minister of Yuan's cabinet) drafted a will for him and informed the world.

When the news spread, Acting President Li Yuanhong announced that the whole country would fly the flag at half-mast for a moment of silence, and asked all newspapers to write articles praising Yuan Shikai's contribution to the republic. When Fang Jianxiong returned to Wuhan and heard the news, he was silent for a long time, and asked people to draft a telegram, saying: When Yuan Gongxiangcheng was choosing between national interests and personal interests, his actions in the wilderness can be described as a high wind and bright festival, and future generations should respect him.

After the power was turned on, Fang Jianxiong left a qiē thing behind and hurried back to Wuhu. The reason is very simple, both women in the family gave birth, and coincidentally, both women gave birth to daughters. For this, Fang Meishi deeply regretted.

Fang Jianxiong didn't care about this at all, the first thing he did when he returned home was to see two women first, and then hugged one in one hand, and he was very happy. The smile on his face has not broken all day.

When Fang Jianxiong was in Wuhu, a new round of quarrels began in the whole of China. There are two focal points, one on the demands of the southern and northeastern provinces for autonomy, and the other on the question of where to set the capital before the general elections.

The Republican Party did not express its opinion on this issue, while the Kuomintang used the media to hype up its own idea of making Nanjing the capital, while the northern political circles led by the Progressive Party advocated making Beijing the capital. As a result, there were all kinds of quarrels in the newspapers, and in the end, it was Li Yuanhong, the acting president, who said that he would wait for the new National Assembly to be elected and then vote to decide where to set the capital.

As for the so-called autonomy of the provinces, Li Yuanhong did not say a word, and every time a reporter asked a question, he would laugh, "Let's discuss it again!" ”

In fact, within Fang Jianxiong's forces, there was a lot of contention over the matter. It is basically divided into two schools of opinion, one group advocates the establishment of the capital of Beijing, and the other group advocates the establishment of the capital of Wuhan. The two factions have their own opinions, one of which believes that from the perspective of the topography, Beijing is in no danger to defend, and external forces can send troops from Tianjin at any time to threaten Beijing's security. This external force is naturally the great powers. You must know that according to the Xinchou Treaty, Tianjin did not allow Chinese troops to be stationed, but the great powers could garrison troops. He also pointed out that from a security point of view, the three towns of Wuhan are naturally much higher than Beijing.

This faction is naturally represented by soldiers, and Jiang Fangzhen, Zhang Xiaohuai, and Xu Shaojiao all have this opinion. However, in line with the principle that military personnel do not interfere in politics, they do not count their words, and they do not have the right to vote.

On the other hand, politicians led by Sun Baoqi and Tang Hualong unanimously agreed that from the perspective of governing the country in name only, Beijing, the old capital of the former dynasty, was undoubtedly better than Wuhan. Regarding such a problem, in the end, Sun Baoqi and others took a trip to Wuhu. Leave this decision to Fang Jianxiong.

Sun Baoqi said that the Republican Party must take a position on this issue. In the current Beijing, Li Yuanhong jumped up and down there, and joined the Progressive Party, fighting with a group of Beiyang veterans, and the meaning is far from being satisfied with an acting president.

Fang Jianxiong was well aware of Li Yuanhong's movements, and at present, the third and fourth divisions were stationed in and around Beijing, and after the surrender of the various units of the Beiyang Army, they were sent to Wuhan to accept the reorganization. Li Yuanhong, who has no military power, really hopes to become a real president by election?

The old problem has not been solved, and the new problem has come again. Sun Wentong of Nanjing telegraphed that the "Provisional Covenant Law" could not be changed, and opposed any proposal to abolish the cabinet system!!
