In any case, construction should always come first.

So after Li Ergou and other bandits abandoned their weapons and surrendered, they were soon escorted to the riverside by the local security forces, and went to Wuhu and Dangtu and other places by boat, and then what awaits them will be endless work, after all, there are hundreds of kilometers of railways to be built in Anhui, and after the railway in Anhui is completed, there are more roads waiting for them...

Unless China's awareness of human rights is more than 100 years ahead of its time, and a large number of Marys come out asking for forgiveness, no matter how you look at it, they will have to build at least 20 years of road—————— even if Yan Shaofa has a good heart, they will not be able to run for 10 years...

This is not only the case with Caotou Mountain, but also with some other hills.

In order to sweep away all the bandits and bandits in Anhui, at least half of the garrisons in Anhui were dispatched, and the total number reached more than 10,000 people.

In a province with a population of just over 20 million, there are five or six thousand bandits, so one can imagine how public order was in Anhui in the past.

On the other hand, because the Anhui Revolutionary Army has intensified its efforts to suppress bandits, many bandits and bandits have gone directly to neighboring provinces after receiving the news—————— and the most important thing for them at present is to avoid the limelight.

The anti-bandit campaign lasted for more than a month, which completely improved Anhui's public security environment. Thanks to the efforts of the revolutionary army, Zhan Tianyou, who was repairing the railway in Dangtu, no longer felt distressed by the lack of labor under his hands.

Building railways has never been an idle job. Not only is it tiring, but sometimes it is accompanied by unknown dangers. In the past, the time to repair some dangerous road sections was hindered by technical problems. Zhan Tianyou can only let the workers under him take risks, now...

Since there is so much more labor in plain and white, Zhan Tianyou naturally does not need to be in vain...

Just because there are fewer bandits in the area doesn't mean there aren't anything else.

Although Anhui does not have horse bandits like the northwest, there are many water bandits because of the relationship between the Yangtze River. Every year in the Yangtze River valley in Anhui, many boats are robbed by water bandits. In the past, even Yan Shao's ships were the same.

It's just that every time the ship carries a part of the patrol soldiers, there is only one time when the water bandits really succeed.

At present, although Yan Shao has become the governor of the Anhui Military Government, he also ordered the garrison under his command to kill the bandits and bandits in the territory. But there is nothing that can be done about those water bandits who are fighting in the Yangtze River.

First, they don't have their own fixed mountains like bandits.

Again, their organization is much smaller, but there are two other things that are most important.

Now Yan Shao also has a sailor in his hand, which he received from the original Anhui sailor. But the armament is seriously aged. In particular, the ships are all wooden-hulled ships, and their combat effectiveness is basically equal to nothing.

If you want to use these boats to clear out the bandits, it is basically impossible.

Although Yan Shao also ordered 10 large gunboats with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons and ocean-going capabilities from the British, these gunboats are still under construction in the UK. According to the most optimistic predictions of the British, the ship could not be handed over until the middle of this year, that is, in May or June.

Naturally, the armed forces of these gunboats are still very good, but if you want to count on them. I don't have to think about it until the middle of this year.

However, compared to this, the most important thing is the issue of geography.

The water bandits were active in the Yangtze River. It's not that it's limited to Anhui.

Of course, Yan Shao has no problem fighting bandits in Anhui, but now he is only the governor of Anhui after all, and there will be a problem if he chases him out of Anhui. The same is true, of course he has no problem suppressing water bandits in Anhui, but if he chases him out of Anhui...... Even if everyone knew that he was doing this to eliminate harm for the people, it would still cause a backlash from warlords and even the gentry elsewhere.

This is the biggest problem for Yan Shao, so when he ordered his troops to exterminate bandits and bandits, return the place to stability, and at the same time train troops by the way, Yan Shao did not do anything about the water bandits in the territory.

At least in his opinion, now is not the right time to do something to those bandits. And now he has other important things to do, and that is the political party.

————————————————————

As the peace between the north and the south gradually entered the main topic, Yuan Shikai took over Sun Yat-sen's position and took over as interim president.

Different from the propaganda of later generations, Sun Yat-sen's position as president was not given to Yuan Shikai, because as early as when the Wuchang Uprising had just broken out and Sun Yat-sen was still returning to China, this position had actually been planned for Yuan Shikai.

Regardless of whether China chooses the cabinet system or the presidential system in the future, party politics is extremely important. Some revolutionary groups in various localities are being reorganized, and the original reform associations are no longer suitable.

The present is different from the past, in the past, because the Qing government was on it, in order to avoid exposure, Yan Shao organized two reform meetings in a row, one was still outside and the other was hidden inside.

The former is a smoke bomb released by Yan Shao to confuse the Qing government, while the latter is the backbone that Yan Shao relies on.

First of all, now that the Qing government has fallen, Yan Shao no longer needs to hide it, and he can generously promote his ideas. Therefore, it became inevitable that the Reform Society would be reorganized into a political party in the true sense of the word.

The Innovation Association is located in front of the headquarters building in Anqing, and cars or carriages drive in, and naturally many people come on foot, and these people may come in different ways, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are all well-dressed.

These people were all members of the Reform Society in various parts of Anhui, and were invited by Yan Shao to return to Anqing, and some were outside the province or abroad. If you can't come back for the time being, there's no way.

This time, they came back to discuss the reorganization of the Reform Society.

In the headquarters building of the Innovation Association, members from all over Anhui were seated. It's just when these well-dressed and successful people are seated. But they found that on the other side of the synagogue there was a group of very young people sitting there.

This naturally aroused their discussion, after all, this was nominally an internal meeting of the Reform Society, and those young people. Some of them were members of the Reformation Society, but others were not, at least not by the very least, many in the synagogue did not recognize them.

"Vice-Governor, who are those people?"

Sits beside Li Guoyun. A middle-aged man in his 40s asked strangely.

He had already attended many meetings of the Reform Society, and he did not dare to say that he knew all the members of the Reform Society, but he had always met them. But the people sitting in the corner. Except for some of the things he knew, the other part of them he hadn't even seen.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Li Guojun shook his head.

Because they don't even know him, but...

"Many of them. It looks like a soldier..."

See the people sitting in the corner. Many of them were also straight when they sat on the seats, which suddenly made Li Guojun feel that they looked like soldiers. In fact, only a soldier has such a rigorous sitting posture.

Now there are not no military members in the reform association, after all, people like Zhang Ying and Bai Runshan have always welcomed the innovation association. In the army, those with this level of status are usually at least at the battalion and regiment level, and officers at this level are not common in the Anhui Revolutionary Army, and it is impossible for a large number of people to emerge at once...

————————————————————

It's in the synagogue. Many people were very interested in the young people in the corner, and they saw that the time was about to reach the scheduled meeting. Yan Shao was finally late accompanied by Wu Qianqiu and others.

"I'm sorry, everyone, Yan is done..."

Walking to the podium, Yan Shao smiled gently at the members of the Innovation Association in the hall.

After seeing him coming, the originally noisy synagogue suddenly fell silent, so although his voice was not loud, it still clearly reached the ears of everyone in the synagogue. After hearing his words, the others in the hall still laughed. "Where..."

After suppressing it for a while, and signaling the people in the hall to be quiet for a while, Yan Shao continued to speak. "I believe that everyone here is very clear that the North-South peace talks have entered a critical stage, although it is not clear what the talks will be like after the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai's coming to power has become an inevitable thing, and the country's political system should exist between the cabinet system and the presidential system..."

Hearing Yan Shao's words, the people in the hall all nodded.

Naturally, the North-South peace is a national concern, but the political system is also of great concern.

When the president was first elected, Soong Jiaoren recommended the cabinet system, but Sun Yat-sen insisted on using the presidential system. But now, seeing that the peace between the north and the south is about to succeed, the matter of the political system has been taken out again. Therefore, it is difficult to say whether it will be a presidential system or a cabinet system in the future.

However, one thing is still very clear to everyone, that is, there will never be anyone who likes constitutional monarchy—————— not necessarily, for people in Yan Shao's era, no matter what system is much stronger than constitutional monarchy, but for people in this era, constitutional monarchy is not outdated, after all, many powerful countries in this era use this kind of system.

This is true even for Germany, which is one of the top three powers, and the United Kingdom—————— which is a parliamentary constitutional monarchy.

"In that case..."Seeing that everyone agreed, Yan Shao nodded and continued. Then we must first reshuffle the current reform committee, and then seize the seat in the future general election, the first Chinese head of state will definitely be Yuan Shikai, but the next one may not be our turn..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Li Guoyun and the others' faces changed, but some people nodded in agreement.

Yes, after the Xinhai Revolution, both the revolutionary party and the constitutionalists agreed that Yuan Shikai should be the president, but this does not mean that he can sit down forever—————— if that is the case. It's better to just let him be the emperor.

At least in the eyes of many enlightened gentry, the next head of state of China will have to look at something else.

Therefore, many people agree with this matter, but Li Guoyun and other people who support Yuan Shikai have a somewhat ugly face. Because Yan Shao's meaning has been clearly expressed. It's that he will definitely not be able to take the first term of the president's position, but he wants to fight for the next few terms...

What's the most important thing about campaigning? One is money, the other is power...

Although Yan Shao in the back is not as good as Yuan Shikai, but the one in front is much stronger than Yuan Shikai, if Yan Shao is really given a few years, maybe he is really sure to defeat Yuan Shikai in the election—————— provided that Yan Shao is willing to wait so long.

————————————————————

After seeing that everyone in the venue agreed, Yan Shao next introduced the people sitting in the corner.

That's at this time. The people in the synagogue realized that there had always been two Renovation Societies.

The former one was used by Yan Shao to unify the local gentry, and the latter one. It was he used to fight against the Qing government.

According to Yan Shao. "Now that the Qing government has collapsed, there is no need to hide the matter anymore, and the merger of the two reform associations has become inevitable."

However, before that, he first introduced the idea of the political party he wanted to establish.

Statism...

Just stand on the podium. Yan Shao earnestly expounded his views on nationalism. At the same time, it also answered many people's questions.

About the nationalism proposed by Yan Shao. The people in the synagogue had no objection.

The reason is also simple, because statism has not been advocated by no one in history.

For example, the Republican Party, this Republican Party is talking about the Republican Party of China. The Republican Party was one of the political parties established in the early years of the Republic of China. Founded on May 9, 1912 in Zhangyuan, Shanghai, it was formed by the merger of the People's Society, the United Party, the National Association, the Republic of China Association, and the Kuomintang. Its organization has 27 domestic branches, 7 foreign branches, and about 100,000 party members.

Li Yuanhong is the chairman, and Zhang Jian, Zhang Taiyan, Wu Tingfang, and Na Yantu are four directors. In addition, the local governors who joined the party included Li Yuanhong, Jiang Zungui, Zhu Rui, Zhuang Yunkuan, Lu Gongwang, Zhao Weixi, Yang Zengxin, Hu Jingyi, Cheng Dequan, and others.

And the party duty of this political party is to maintain national unity and adopt nationalism. Supporting the progress of the people with the power of the state.

Later, the Progressive Party was formed by the merger of the Republicans, Unionists, and Democrats. It is also adopted by this doctrine. It can be seen that the people at that time did not mean to oppose nationalism, but were very much in favor of it.

In other words. Originally, it was easiest to reorganize the biggest problem of the reform society, that is, the problem of ism. The real headache was the question of the name, because after it was decided that the Commission would be reorganized, many people had come up with the name of their party.

For example, there is the Chinese Nationalist Republican Party...

Yan Shao silently read it in his mouth, there is no problem with the full name, but if you use the abbreviation...

"The Kuomintang Communist Party..."

Reading the name, Yan Shao grinned.

At least in his time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were synonymous with incompatibility, and if this was left here, others might not be fine, but Yan Shao really felt awkward when he read it.

There is also the Nationalist Progressive Party, or the National Progressive Party for short, or a number of other party names.

Although Yan Shao thinks it's good, he still feels a little uncomfortable pronouncing the abbreviation.

Seeing that there was already a quarrel below, Yan Shao had to speak again to tell them to be quieter. In fact, Yan Shao already had his own doctrine in his heart, and the main reason for letting them open their mouths was to see if there was a better name than the one they thought, but now they haven't heard one, so Yan Shao didn't want to continue to wait, and decided to announce the name he wanted to see.

"What do you think of the Chinese Nationalist Socialist Party, referred to as the National Socialist Party?"

After quieting everyone down, Yan Shaoyang read out the name he had come up with.

————————————————————

The Chinese Nationalist Socialist Party, there is no party with this name in Chinese history, there is one called the Chinese National Socialist Party, but it is a fascist party in China.

Naturally, in this era, few people know what fascism is, so when they hear the word National Socialist Party, they don't react much, but they just think that the National Socialist Party is indeed more agreeable, at least much more comfortable than the Kuomintang Communist Party...

At this time, there were many people in the corner who agreed with Yan Shao's proposal, so although some people supported their own name, in the end, the name of the National Socialist Party still received more than 80% of the vote.

At this point, the National Socialist Party, which was also the largest political party in China in the future, was established in the headquarters building of the Anqing Reform Association. And the headquarters building, which originally belonged to the Innovation Association, was also directly removed from the sign and replaced with the sign of the National Socialist Party.

Just like Yan Shao said, he planned to use this party to compete for future seats with Yuan Shikai and the League, and naturally it was impossible to limit the Kuomintang to Anhui. Therefore, after the establishment of the National Socialist Party, Yan Shao's first order was to establish branches in the provinces that had been recovered in the south.

The other members did not object to this, especially after Yan Shao announced that he would pay for the opening of the branch of the Kuomintang Socialist Party.

It's just that when everyone was elated about the affairs of the National Socialist Party, Li Guoyun, who was sitting in the front row, was never happy.

Forget about anything else, but competing with Yuan Shikai for the head of state in the future is not a good thing, at least in Li Guoyun's opinion. It's just that in the original Reform Association, the current National Socialist Party, although there are many supporters of Yuan Shikai, but Yan Shao's supporters will only be more, after all, the interests of many people in Anhui have been tied to him, so Li Guoyun can't say words to dissuade him... (To be continued......)

PS: Actually, I originally thought of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but I felt awkward when I played it myself, and it was better to be the Kuomintang Socialist Party
