Chapter 524: The Republic (3)

Rights, it's a good thing...

It's a great thing that makes people addicted...

And the result of addiction is that Yan Shao suddenly didn't want to quit...

Fortunately, Yan Shao has not been completely lost in it, and he also remembers that his original plan was not to make the country strongβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” or not exactly this, but to make the country strong at the same time, but also to let the people live a good life.

Cang Liao knows etiquette, and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing.

It is useless for China to talk about this doctrine or that doctrine. If the common people don't even have enough to eat, no matter how beautiful your doctrine sounds, it's just some nonsense. On the other hand, if the common people can eat enough, isn't there still a sentence of 'full of warmth and lust'. With enough food and warm clothes, the common people are naturally willing to take some time to study, to improve their own literacy, and to understand what a republic is.

And as long as everyone knows what a republic is, even if Yan Shao wants to continue to sit in this position, I am afraid that someone will stand up and push him down.

"But at least not now..."Closing his eyes and thinking calmly for a while, Yan Shao opened his eyes again to look at Tang Li. Your current character is to keep an eye on these people for me, and to get that pottery ......... What is Tao? ”

For Yan Shao, that Tao Yuanzhou was just a small person, and of course he couldn't remember his name. This is also one of the reasons why Kurokawa will choose Tao Yuanzhou to cooperate.

"Tao Yuanzhou..."Seeing that Yan Shao had forgotten Tao Yuanzhou's name, Tang Li hurriedly added.

"Yes." Yan Shao said. "Tao Yuanzhou. Find a way to get evidence of his cooperation with the Japanese, and see who they have been in contact with in recent times..."

"Yes..."The legs were together, and there was a 'snap' sound after the leather shoes collided together. Tang Li saluted like a soldier. "The lowly duty must complete the task..."

The decent clothes are worn on the body, so that Tang Li's plump figure is exquisitely revealed.

However, this is a woman under his own subordinates, and Yan Shao didn't plan to let himself have another woman, so Yan Shao just nodded and focused on another thing again.

"Speaking of which, do you think that person named Wang Jingwei will have any collusion with the Japanese?"

This is probably what Yan Shao is most concerned about at the moment, even more than Tao Yuanzhou's small actions. After all, Wang Jingwei's reputation in his time was too great. Yan Shao was always worried about whether he would betray the country like he did in history, but now he seems to have some involvement with the Japanese, so Yan Shao naturally became cautious.

"This ......... Probably notβ€”" I looked down and thought about it. Tang Li replied. "Ever since you gave us the order to keep an eye on this Wang Jingwei, we have sent many people to ambush him, and even some of our people have been ambushed in his home. Judging by what our people have reported. Wang Jingwei has some relationship with the Japanese. But it's not very deep, and Tao Yuanzhou doesn't seem to be telling the truth to Wang Jingwei this time, Wang Jingwei can't know the inside story, so at least so far, he's just..." "It's just against you, the president..."

This was similar to Yan Shao's guess, so he didn't feel annoyed by Tang Li's words, but after thinking about it, he focused his attention on the desk.

On top of that. There are still many things that Yan Shao needs to be busy with.

On the other hand, Tang Li, who got Yan Shao's signal, nodded. He slowly retreated from the room.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

After Yan Shao's office left, Tang Li first went to Katarina to report the situation, and then ordered a group of members who had just been selected to lurk around Tao Yuanzhou, Hei Chuan, Wang Jingwei and others.

Wang Jingwei said that the Special Affairs Bureau had already sent a lot of people, but this time it was just to strengthen some manpower and let them be more vigilant by the way.

When it comes to Tao Yuanzhou and Heichuan, it is relatively troublesome.

Because judging from the subsequent information, it seems that the two have decided not to contact each other anymore. And since they have decided to oppose Yan Shao through some 'republican' movement, they must have thought that their every move must have been monitored by the Special Affairs Bureau.

This is probably the time when they are most cautious, and it is not easy to put people around them.

But...

Now that the situation was almost understood, Tang Li didn't think that they could escape his palm.

"The key is that evidence, I hope that in addition to that Tao Yuanzhou, there are still some people who know about this matter, otherwise they can only start from that Tao Yuanzhou..."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

didn't know that he had been targeted, Wang Jingwei only went to Song Jiaoren after a period of time, and his purpose was very simple, that is, to persuade Song Jiaoren to participate in this movement.

There is one thing that Wang Jingwei agrees with Tao Yuanzhou's words, that is, if there is a prestigious person standing by their side in this movement, then the movement itself will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

And this candidate, only Song Jiaoren is the most suitable.

In fact, there are many people with prestige in the country, among which the highest prestige is undoubtedly Yan Shao, followed by those under him. For example, Li Liang and Fu Xiuming, who have followed him for many years, as well as Cai Yi and Jiang Baili, who personally commanded the Shandong Campaign, and Yuan Shikai, who is currently living in seclusion in his hometown...

However, Yuan Shikai has more influence on the original Beiyang, and people are very forgetful, and it is really difficult to say how much he can influence the Beiyang troops in two years. But one thing is certain, that is, even if he personally ran to the troops of the former Beiyang, those troops would not have followed their founder...

Because in the past two years, they have experienced a lot of things under Yan Shao's command, many things that they can't experience with Yuan Shikai.

As for Li Liang and Fu Xiuming and others, there is no need to say it. The reason why they have so much influence is purely because of Yan Shao's light. And because of this, they can almost be said to be prosperous. One loses all. It is expected that they will oppose Yan Shao, unless Yan Shao infringes on their interests, and it is a very deep kind.

But it is obvious that Yan Shao is not such a two-person person.

As for Cai Ye and Jiang Baili...

Don't forget, Cai Ye was originally a person who advocated strongman politics, and when Yuan Shikai took over the post of president, he once issued a congratulatory telegram saying that Yuan Shikai was 'brilliant and strategic, and the group was looking forward to it'. It can be regarded as Yuan Shikai's biggest supporter among many warlords. Even during the Second Revolution, the Dian army was sent into Sichuan to crusade against the Sichuan army. The purpose is probably to solve the situation of warlords everywhere at that time as soon as possible, so that Yuan Shikai can control the whole country as much as possible. It enables China to develop and grow at a faster pace.

It's a pity that Yuan Shikai in history disappointed him, not only did he want to be the emperor, but he even signed a twenty-one article with the Japanese.

In the end, no one knows whether Cai Ye is completely disappointed in strongman politics. Because Cai Ye was already dead at that time. But in this day and age. Yuan Shikai was ousted by Yan Shao before he became emperor, and Yan Shao became the person who replaced Yuan Shikai's place. Similarly, Cai was not disillusioned with strongman politics because of Yuan Shikai's proclamation as emperor, and the current situation in China seems to confirm his view.

In other words, it is impossible for Cai to oppose Yan Shao, at least not so far.

As for Jiang Baili?

Since Jiang Baili and Cai Ye are close friends, he will definitely be influenced by Cai Yi. Even if I don't agree with the so-called strongman politics in my heart, I'm afraid I won't oppose it. And the changes in front of him are obvious to all, and Jiang Baili certainly can't be offended to oppose it. It is impossible to stand on the opposite side of Yan Shao so straightforwardly.

You must know that Yan Shao has the grace of knowing Jiang Baili, and with Jiang Baili's character, it is impossible to do anything that will take revenge. What's more, Yan Shao hasn't done anything evil now, not only that, but it has made the country grow stronger, and Jiang Baili has no reason to oppose Yan Shao.

After thinking about it, the only candidate for the last one is probably Song Jiaoren, who returned from Japan.

As the founder of the Kuomintang, Soong had great political prestige in China. If this were not the case, no one in later generations would suspect that Song Jiaoren was actually assassinated by Sun Yat-sen, because Song Jiaoren had almost set Sun Yat-sen in the air at that time.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"The 'Republican' movement?"

Listening to Wang Jingwei's words, Song Jiaoren, who originally thought that he had some official business, was taken aback.

"That's right, sir..."Wang Jingwei nodded, although his expression was quite calm, but his eyes were already a little excited and even angry. Yan Shao hardly discussed such a big matter as declaring war on Germany, and he didn't even say it to the Congress, and he almost regarded the Congress as nothing. Is this China all the people of the country, or is it Yan Shao's alone? Zhao Ming thought that this situation had reached the point where it had to be changed, otherwise the country would definitely be dragged into the abyss by Yan Shao and his henchmen, and the best way to do it was to implement the 'cabinet system', only by implementing the cabinet system and restricting the rights of Yan Shao and the Kuomintang Socialist Party could it be possible to save the country..."

"That's why you want to start a 'republican' movement?"

"That's right." Wang Jingwei does not deny it. "Only in this way can we make Yan Shao compromise with his henchmen and turn the current dictatorial government to a republic, but we still need someone to come out and lead us, and only you, sir, can do this..."

"Thisβ€”" Song Jiaoren hesitated.

Unlike Wang Jingwei, he was very clear about the purpose of Yan Shao's participation in the war behind him.

Iraq, Kuwait...

As long as these two places are obtained, not only will the finances of the whole country be improved. And according to Yan Shao, things like free education and even free medical care can be promoted through the profits from these two places, as well as the taxes that are still relatively heavy, and the various water conservancy and other projects that the government is currently promoting.

In short, if you can get this money, the whole of China will be reborn...

This is also a reason why although Song Jiaoren did not agree with sending troops to fight in the war to get Iraq and Kuwait, he did not oppose birth.

In Song Jiaoren's heart, he agreed to send an expeditionary force to Europe to help the Entente. It is equivalent to paying back the money with the life of a soldier, which he absolutely cannot agree with. But on the other hand, Yan Shao also made it very clear that the oil obtained from those two places. It can make China reborn and make everyone live a good life.

It is not right to pay back the money with the life of a soldier, but is it the right thing to give up?

As one of more than a dozen ministers in the cabinet and the minister of integrity in the Ministry of Integrity, Song is well aware that China is a big step forward compared to a few years ago. But in fact, in some remote areas, there are still many people who do not have enough to eat, and there is still compulsory education that is being implemented. If the Ministry of Finance has enough money, can the Ministry of Education abandon the three-step plan and directly implement compulsory education?

That's it. Who is right and who is wrong, even Song Jiaoren himself is a little unclear...

Because of this, even Song Jiaoren didn't know whether Lu Dao should support Wang Jingwei.

"Maybe he's right, but if that's the case..."

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

To Song Jiaoren. Wang Jingwei still knows very well. And because of that. So before coming, Wang Jingwei can be said to be very confident that he can stand on his side. However, when he found that Song Jiaoren did not agree, but seemed very hesitant, Wang Jingwei was not only taken aback, but also anxious.

After all, Song Jiaoren occupies an extremely important part of this plan, without his support, relying on Wang Jingwei and Tao Yuanzhou alone, the chance of success is simply pitiful.

Therefore, Wang Jingwei quickly used all his strength to encourage Song Jiaoren. Hopefully, Song will be able to support the movement.

As for whether he should support Yan Shao, Song Jiaoren was still a little hesitant after all. In the end, at the instigation of Wang Jingwei. Song Jiaoren still agreed with his plan, because in his opinion, the most suitable for China is always the cabinet system, if you can take this opportunity to promote it, it is also a good thing, as for Yan Shao to step down, this Song Jiaoren really didn't think about it, because he couldn't think of anyone in China who could take Yan Shao's place. However, Wang Jingwei didn't know this, the most important thing for him at the moment was that Song Jiaoren agreed, which also made Wang Jingwei breathe a sigh of relief.

It's just that just when Wang Jingwei was about to say goodbye and then inform Tao Yuanzhou of the good news, Song Jiaoren suddenly stopped Wang Jingwei, who was about to leave Song Jiaoren's residence.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦ Zhao Ming, there won't be any special people or organizations behind this plan..."With a hesitant face, Song Jiaoren asked.

Hearing Song Jiaoren ask, Wang Jingwei's heart also 'chuckled', and he had a bad premonition, but he quickly shook his head and said. "Mr. is too worried, I, Wang Jingwei, oppose Yan Shao, but I don't like his dictatorship, how can I cooperate with some inexplicable person, wouldn't it become a traitor!" As he spoke, Wang Jingwei's face was a little impassioned.

Seeing Wang Jingwei say this, Song Jiaoren also nodded with satisfaction, and then admonished. "That's good......... Zhaoming, although there is some controversy about what President Yan is doing now, we can see clearly what the effect is, and we must not be used by others at this time..."

Maybe some people have forgotten Wang Jingwei at this time, but in Song Jiaoren's heart, he is still the hot-blooded young man who 'draws the knife into a fast and lives up to the head of the youth', so after hearing Wang Jingwei's words, Song Jiaoren believes it very much.

On the other hand, although the foreboding in his heart became a little stronger, Wang Jingwei did not tell a lie.

No one in this world is born wanting to be a traitor, and there are usually only a few reasons for betraying the country. Either it is for the lure of money or beauty, or it is in the hands of others, or the situation of the country is very bad, so some people who are not strong in their will decide to sell the interests of the country to satisfy their own desires.

But money and beauty, money aside, beauty, Wang Jingwei's Chen Bijun is a powerful character. And if it is more than 20 years later, it will be forgotten, but now Chen Bijun is also beautiful, and the two have only been married for a few years, and there is no problem between husband and wife.

handle, Wang Jingwei at this time is also a relatively clean person, maybe he has some ideas in his heart, but he has never done this kind of thing to satisfy his own interests by using his power...

As for the latter, it would have been difficult to say if it had been two or three years ago, but now, no matter what, China has no intention of destroying the country. In this case, Wang Jingwei went to be a traitor, so how brain-dead he was.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

When he left Song Jiaoren, Wang Jingwei always felt that something was wrong, as if he seemed to have missed some important information.

It's just that he can't remember what he missed for a while.

Seeing that Wang Jingwei had a headache, Chen Bijun on the side hurriedly persuaded him. "Fourth brother, don't think about it yet, take a rest first, maybe you can remember it after taking a break..."

Wang Jingwei seemed to be a little afraid of guilt, and he was very obedient to Chen Bijun's words. What's more, Chen Bijun is also good for him, so he didn't do much, just followed Chen Bijun's persuasion to return to the room.

On the other hand, not long after Wang Jingwei left Song Jiaoren's house, the words they talked about when they met had already been sent to Yan Shao's desk.

Looking at the information on the desk, Yan Shao also felt a little headache. It's not that Song Jiaoren has a headache and opposes himself, but that he has a headache about how to protect Song Jiaoren. For Song Jiaoren, Yan Shao has long seen it very clearly, an idealist who opposes himself for the sake of his ideals, Yan Shao has long expected this kind of thing, so there is nothing to be angry about.

But the important thing is, if Song Jiaoren also goes down, what should the Ministry of Integrity do? Yan Shao has not found a replacement for Song Jiaoren now. And for Yan Shao, Song Jiaoren's woodpecker is quite easy to use. (To be continued......)
