Just after Huang Xing's funeral, everyone still has to return to reality. In fact, during Huang Xing's funeral, various factions in the party were already considering many issues in the post-Huang Xing era. Power is such a thing, or not, once you have it, you always think that it is safest to continue to expand.

But everyone also knows that no matter how you play, if Wang Zhenyu doesn't agree, it won't work, and if you don't handle it well, maybe the entire national government will collapse, and then those who should be arrested and those who should be killed will be killed.

Therefore, on the second day after Huang Xing entered the ground, Wang Longzhong, who had the right to succeed him as chairman of the Nationalist Government in accordance with the "Constitution of the Nationalist Government," naturally became the initiator of the meeting between the parties.

Naturally, the seven people who were qualified to attend this meeting were Wang Longzhong, Wang Zhenyu, Sun Wen, Zhang Taiyan, Hu Hanmin, Xiong Xiling, and Liang Qichao. Although it is already the Republic of China, the atmosphere of black-box operation at that time has not changed.

In the face of the powerful Wang Zhenyu, Sun Wen and Zhang Taiyan chose a temporary alliance very rarely, after all, if the army is like the sword of Damocles in ancient Greek mythology, it is believed that no one will be happy. At the beginning, everyone made huge concessions in order to gain the support of the army to form a government, but now it seems that this concession is very dangerous, which is tantamount to putting the survival of the entire national government on Wang Zhenyu's thoughts. Therefore, although Huang Xing's last words hope that everyone will continue to maintain the current state, this is obviously impossible to do.

As for Wang Zhenyu, as early as the beginning of the formation of the Nationalist Government, he guessed that this issue of excessive independence of the army would eventually cause dissatisfaction from all sides. After all, it is human nature to step on other people's shoulders, and if someone is used to being stepped on, it will be servile, and there are obviously few people who engage in politics who are servile syndrome sufferers.

In particular, Wang Zhenyu's independence in the army is too strong, it has its own military industrial enterprises (and the scale far exceeds that of the Nationalist Government and Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Nanyang chaebols), has its own company, and the personnel rights of the military system are also completely independent. In the words of later generations, it is a typical needle that cannot be inserted and splashed with water. In this way, the Military Commission is equivalent to a second national government, which can almost be called the Wuhan National Government, and anyway, both Nanjing and Wuhan adopt an attitude of local autonomy towards the county-level government, and the provincial level is also semi-autonomous. So if you calculate it carefully, Nanjing, the genuine national government, is not as good as Wuhan, a copycat. Because it is more than money and no money, it is much worse than the impact on the social, political and economic life of the whole South, and more importantly, there is no army.

As for the ruling party of the National Socialist Party, it is even more of a joke, what kind of ruling party is a ruling party that has neither a party army, nor an independent party property, nor does it have the power to appoint and dismiss personnel in the government system? Sun Wen has been the party chairman for more than half a year, and now he feels that he has been deceived, and he is not as good as Hu Hanmin, the president of the Executive Yuan.

But now, if you say that you are not satisfied with the original plan, how can you say this? This is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth in disguise! Everyone drank tea for a while, but they didn't speak.

Wang Zhenyu was not in a hurry to speak, he looked up and took a closer look at the official residence of the clan uncle, the decoration was still very good, especially the lotus crystal chandelier in the living room, he knew that it was worth a lot of money at a glance, and the full-time vice chairman of the national government seemed to be doing it very moisturizing. In fact, in terms of salary, the Nationalist Government did not treat itself badly, and of course, the National Congress was also very tight in terms of establishment, and anyway, there were so many official positions, and it was very troublesome to increase the number of people. This also makes many high-level people want to arrange a protégé or something, can only be arranged in the provincial government and the special city government, the provincial government is really short of people everywhere, but the guidance of the yamen at this level is too strong, in other words, it is not pragmatic, and it is a little related to the county government. Therefore, there is a saying in the national government that the two ends are fat and the middle is thin.

After a while, Wang Zhenyu smiled smugly: "I said that Brother Yixian (Sun Yat-sen), Brother Binglin (Zhang Taiyan) and Brother Zhantang (Hu Hanmin) have anything to say, you can get straight to the point, we are now in a relationship of both prosperity and loss, and we don't need to be afraid of wolves and tigers." ”

Speaking of which, this person still can't be an official, and once he becomes an official, he has more scruples about doing things and talking. Hu Hanmin is a typical example, when the Nationalist Government was formed, he was a famous cannon, and even Wang Zhenyu was so angry with him that he almost lost his temper. But now, after more than half a year of the Executive Yuan, Hu Hanmin has more thoughts, and he refuses to do the work of taking the lead.

When it was Zhang Taiyan, doing the work of the speaker, nothing had changed for more than half a year, and he still had something to say, seeing that Sun Wen and Hu Hanmin were silent, he spoke first.

"Well, since everyone doesn't say it, I'll talk about it. Wen Zheng, Duke Keqiang is gone, but the national government still has to operate as usual, right? However, in the past six months or so, when we first established the government, we talked about things and put them into practical work, and as soon as we did them, we found that there was a big difference from the original idea. I think that from the perspective of future development, there are many things to be made up, and many rules to be changed. For example, on the issue of the armed forces, I have been looking at it for more than half a year, and your military spending does not come from the Nationalist Government, and the military industrial enterprises are also controlled by themselves, and more importantly, the China Development Corporation, which is the source of your funds, involves a wide range of industries that are staggering, and the income is only much richer than that of the Nationalist Government. Brother Wenzheng, from the bottom of my heart, you are a very good person, and it can even be said that without you, there would be no national government today. But if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat, and you are now firmly holding the military power, you can say that it is for the sake of national reunification, but in the long run, the relationship between various interests has become intertwined. When the time comes, if you want to nationalize the army, I'm afraid that you will be involuntarily, and if you can't keep it, the generals below you will force you to wear a yellow robe. You are still young, the example of Lao Yuan is there, you have to be cautious! ”

Zhang Taiyan is not completely alarmist, the delay in nationalization of the army in later generations is not because one or two leaders are stubborn, but because the denationalization of the army has fattened a large group of people, and at the same time escorted the centralization of power for this group of people. Therefore, these people would rather the country rot day by day than nationalize the army. Now I have actually shed the glossy coat of the military council, but I am still a warlord in essence. It's just that they use the three systems of armaments, military academies and armed mobilization to stifle the possibility of petty warlords within themselves. But who dares to guarantee that if he suddenly hangs up that day, including Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, these people will become new warlords? At least Wang Zhenyu doesn't think that anyone in his current small group has the prestige and qualifications to stand up bravely, and then replace himself.

However, Wang Zhenyu did not plan to follow the statement, he motioned for everyone to continue.

It seems that he was inspired by Zhang Taiyan, Sun Wen came out and added firewood: "Brother Wenzheng, our purpose of handing over the revolutionary armies of the three provinces for reorganization was very clear, that is, we hoped to achieve the unification of the military and the government and the nationalization of the army. However, this time in the southwestern war, not to mention the Nationalist Government, even many members of the Military Commission do not know about it, such a situation is not normal, I think it is necessary for the Military Commission to reorganize again, and improve its system, this should not be an institution for the elderly. ”

Hu Hanmin hesitated for a moment and followed up: "The China Development Corporation has too many social resources, and now it is basically in the hands of this company, including heavy industry, shipping, commodities in the southwest region, and foreign trade. ”

Xiong Xiling and Liang Qichao glanced at each other, both of them belonged to the halfway to join the gang, although the uncle and nephew of the Wang family also had an order here with Xiong Xiling in the past, and they also had benefactors, but now it is different from the past, Xiong Xiling is only forty-six years old after all, and he also hopes to make a career here. No, he and Liang Qichao's Progressive Party have also been merged into the National Socialist Party, and it seems that it really doesn't matter what doctrine it is, and everyone wants to come in under the temptation of power.

Xiong Xiling saw Wang Zhenyu's might, and even revolutionary predecessors like Sun Wen were polite to him. He thought for a moment and said: "Is the matter of the expedition to Europe slowed down, firstly, the cost of the expedition is quite large, and secondly, Duan Qirui is now a strong soldier and always has the idea of going south!" ”

Liang Qichao: "Wenzheng! ……”

After listening to one opinion after another, Wang Zhenyu roughly understood that no matter how fanciful and righteous these big men said, their inner thoughts were nothing more than to divide power from their own hands, and now they are just asking for such a big price, just waiting for their young junior to pay back.

This situation, when Yang Du and Yang Yongtai came, the two dog-headed military divisions, analyzed it for Wang Zhenyu. Yang Du's idea was very simple, divide them, throw out part of the power like throwing a dog bone, and then everyone stared at this bone and fought, so naturally they didn't look at what they had in their hands.

Yang Yongtai didn't see it that way: "Dashuai, Mr. Huizi This is the emperor's mental technique, although it is effective, but the symptoms are not cured, there will inevitably be repetitions in the future, and I hope that Dashuai will think twice." ”

"How to deal with it?" Wang Zhenyu asked softly.

Yang Yongtai thought for a moment and said: "How to deal with it depends on how you plan to do it in the future, if you just want to control the authority, it is naturally okay to use Mr. Huizi's strategy." But if you want to win the world, I'm afraid you still have to make some concessions, everyone works together, this boat can row fast, and this power is afraid to be reorganized......"
