Wang Zhenyu looked at Sun and Huang's surprised expressions and showed a satisfied smile, which was all in his imagination.

"I won't get an axe in front of the two seniors, in fact, the so-called politics itself is the process of power distribution. This is a good score cake, as long as we can divide the cake reasonably, then everyone will not have any opinions. Even if there is, it will be in the future. As for the matter of merging with the party, the status of some comrades will rise, and the status of some comrades will fall, and this is inevitable, and the most important thing is to adhere to principles, act only by merit, be fair, just and open, and all opinions can be intangible. ”

Sun Yat-sen nodded in agreement: "Brother Wenzheng is right, but this matter is too wide and too wide, and there are too many places that need to be communicated. ”

Wang Zhenyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is simple, it is better for us to set up three negotiation teams and start negotiations at the same time, we people work hard together, I believe that before May, a lot of work can be completed." ”

Seeing that Sun Wen and Huang Xing were still full of doubts, Wang Zhenyu patiently explained: "We can set up a military group, a party affairs group and an economic planning group to negotiate all matters of the future regional government and avoid entanglement." Both sides of the plan can be proposed, and everyone can discuss it. ”

Sun Wen raised his worries: "What if the discussion fails? ”

Wang Zhenyu said: "Of course, we can't expect to rely on three groups to do it, my opinion is to set up a preparatory committee for the national government, with Huang Xing as the chairman, Mr. Sun Wen and I as the deputies, and two from each party, plus two social celebrities, a total of nine people." If there is something that cannot be discussed, it will be voted on by nine people, okay? ”

Sun Wen was surprised, this Wang Zhenyu is really sincere, he originally thought that he would rely on the number of provinces or troops in his hands to propose to decide the number of people according to the territory and army? In this way, at least it seems to be fair, and if it is done properly, Wang Zhenyu will even suffer.

And Wang Zhenyu is not worried about Sun Wen playing small moves at all, because both the Youth Army and the Kuomintang are firmly under his control, and the most important thing is the China Development Corporation, which has now become China's largest chaebol with the successive victories of the Youth Army.

The big guys above have negotiated, and it's time for the younger brothers to come out and do things.

According to Wang Zhenyu's idea, the formation of the entire Nationalist Government will be divided into two parts, and the first step will be to merge and form a ruling party in Shanghai, determine the political program and organizational structure, and negotiate everything that should be discussed. Then the second step is to move from Shanghai to Nanjing or Wuhan, where the National Convention is held.

The First Division of the Youth Army stationed in Shanghai shouldered all the security work, and Wang Zhenyu also appointed Tao Zhiyue as commander of the Shanghai Garrison in the name of the Supreme Command of the Kuomintang Socialist Party. In order to enhance the transparency of this negotiation and at the same time avoid confusion, Wang Zhenyu also made a special arrangement to emulate the press conference system of later generations. At the end of each day's meeting, a press conference was held to report on the latest proposals and the progress of the meeting, so as to set the record straight, which was a precedent for Chinese politics. Huang Yuansheng, known as China's No. 1 journalist, was chosen to be the spokesman for the talks, and as for Shao Piaoping, he was not very interested in public office, preferring to excite words and give directions.

As for the merger plan, Wang Zhenyu also came up with something very practical, which Sun Wen and they can't compare.

In terms of political system, Wang Zhenyu put forward a template of separation of powers and integration of military and government. Specifically, the future National Government is strictly the executive body of the National Assembly in relation to the civilian part of its decision-making, and it does not have an army of its own, and the army belongs to a military council independent of the National Government. The Supreme Court was established, which was also independent of the government.

The National Government, the National Military Council, and the Supreme Court of the Nation are responsible to the National Assembly at the same time.

The National Assembly represents the common interests of the 180,000 million people of the nine southern provinces, and according to Wang Zhenyu's thinking, the deputies to the National Assembly are elected according to the proportion of region and population, of which 108 are regional representatives (12 in each province), 180 are population representatives (1 per million people), in addition to 42 representatives from all walks of life (elected by various industries), 30 independent representatives of celebrities, a total of 360 people, and a total of 361 speakers plus the speaker. The deputies, or members of the National Assembly, will serve a four-year term and will form 27 working committees, including finance and foreign affairs, which will be responsible for guiding and supervising the daily work of the national government.

The national government is different from the central government in that it is a local government in nature, so there is no prime minister.

The chairman of the national government is the first person responsible for the national government, and there is one full-time vice-chairman and two part-time vice-chairmen. It consists of three courts: the Government Affairs Yuan, the Supervision Yuan, and the Examination Yuan. However, the administrative departments are basically in the Government Affairs Yuan, and the latter two courts are the supervisory departments.

It is worth mentioning that the Nationalist Government differs from the Beijing Government in that it does not have an independent War Department and Navy Department.

These departments are assigned to the National Military Council, which is chaired by the Supreme Governor and has a Standing Committee (nine members) responsible for all military affairs within the jurisdiction of the National Government, and the Council elects its members (theoretically) every five years. There are nine members of the Standing Committee, ranging from 18 to 27 members, and those exceeding are alternates.

The Military Commission consists of the General Staff Department, which is responsible for the specific implementation of military affairs, including the Navy Department, the Armaments Department, the National Armed Forces Mobilization Department, the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Military Justice Department, as well as several bureaus.

All officers are strictly forbidden to be promoted or appointed on their own, and officers at the grass-roots level of the armed forces must be sent out after training at military academies, and officers at and above the battalion level must be transferred once every three years. Recruits, weapons and ammunition, and quartermaster salaries are all managed and distributed by the General Staff......

According to this plan, then the final result is that Wang Zhenyu firmly controls everything through the army, and if it weren't for him Wang Zhenyu, others wouldn't want to do anything through the army.

As soon as the plan came out, there was great controversy within both the Revolutionary Party and the National Socialist Party.

Within Wang Zhenyu's group, opposition first appeared, because judging from the current situation, the Kuomintang is clearly in an advantageous position.

And the first to jump out against it was naturally Wang Zhenyu's cronies and generals, who did not understand that Weishenme was going to merge, and how to defend the fruits of their victory after the merger. Wang Zhenyu understands this very well, after all, everyone has been working for four months with their heads pinned to their belts, and finally won the territory of six or seven provinces, but now they have to merge and share with others, and it is uncomfortable for anyone to change.

Wang Zhenyu was not worried, after the first day of the meeting, he invited Xu Yuanquan and other seven senior generals to tea alone in the Du Mansion.

"Peace is a bore benefit, and a split is a lose. All of you here have followed me all the way from Yudaimen, so many years, think for yourself, have I ever made everyone suffer? ”

Xu Yuanquan and the others thought about it, shook their heads and said no.

Wang Zhenyu said with a smile: "Then at this time, everyone should unite under my command and help me work hard to realize the reunification of the nine southern provinces, please believe that this time, we will not suffer either." ”

In the Chinese Revolutionary Party, there are also voices of doubt, and Wang Jingwei, who has just returned from France, even openly claims that this is a plot with the tiger, and the final result is that the party will be swallowed up. Hu Hanmin also recognized Wang Jingwei's point of view, and he even wanted to join Zhang Jingjiang, Liao Zhongkai and others to persuade Sun Yat-sen again. But Zhang Jingjiang is already busy looking at the bottom plan proposed by Wang Zhenyu's Kuomintang at the moment, and he thinks it is very good and can give it a try, so he does not mix with Hu Hanmin's bad things at all. Liao Zhongkai is the only one who looks forward to big and small things, and naturally it is impossible to listen to Hu Hanmin.

And Chen Jiongming also supported the merger, and he even said to Hu Hanmin: "If you follow this plan, then the local government is equivalent to the autonomy of the provinces, and we are equivalent to embarking on the road of the United States. ”

Hu Hanmin was so angry that he was so angry: "You Chen Jingcun has a bad brain, if according to this plan, our party army will be handed over, there is no army, what if he Wang Zhenyu is the second Yuan Shikai?" What shall we do against him, Jopha? ”

Chen Jiongming shook his head indifferently and said, "Then now we can rely on the 100,000 army in our hands that even Li Houji can't gnaw to deal with Wang Zhenyu's 300,000 tiger and wolf army?" The purpose of the negotiation is to avoid bloodshed, and as a result, you, Hu Zhantang, are still thinking about bloodshed. No wonder this thing is so difficult, you know the little profit in front of you, don't think about our country! ”

Chen Jiongming and Hu Hanmin have looked at each other unpleasantly because of the position of the governor of Guangdong since the Xinhai Revolution, so they naturally say whatever they want. Xu Chongzhi, who was sitting on the side, saw that the two were about to quarrel, so he hurriedly came out to persuade him and said, "I said that this hasn't started talking yet, so my brother shouldn't make trouble." ”

Chen Jiongming was still very polite to Xu Chongzhi, so he snorted and stopped talking. Xu Chongzhi said to Hu Hanmin: "Zhantang, it's not unreasonable to compete for survival, you don't know the truth in the army, don't look at the claim that we have 100,000 troops in our hands, that's different from the Youth Army." People are real-spirited, there is one soldier is one soldier, and we have at least 30,000 or 40,000 vacancies for 100,000 people. And in terms of combat effectiveness, that is, the 10,000 men of the competing Guangdong army and the 20,000 people of the Xia Ru (Li Liejun) Gan army can fight, and the youth army is a tiger and wolf division that has just annihilated more than 100,000 Beiyang troops in one go. Don't say it's us, who doesn't fear three points now. The most important thing is that those Ningbo businessmen are unreliable, we said it well when we entered Zhejiang, but now that we are outside Hangzhou, we can't pay military salaries and can't see each other. No money and no equipment, what are we going to do to fight Wang Zhenyu? ”

When Hu Hanmin heard this, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "How did you go to the Xinhai Revolution?" If only Ince were still alive. ”
