Chapter 120: The Provisional Government of Nanjing

Nanjing, after learning that Zong Wu had relented and was willing to vote for himself in the election, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren, who were discussing this matter in the room, were suddenly overjoyed.

"Great..."Got up from his seat, and after walking back and forth twice, Huang Xing said to Song Jiaoren and a few others. I said a long time ago that Yan Shao is a good person, and it is impossible for us to disappoint..."

Although the 5,000 rifles brought back from Anqing did not come in handy at the least, because of the extremely enthusiastic relationship between Yan Shao and others when they were in Anqing, Huang Xing's sense of the Anhui military government was indeed goodβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” there was no way, who called Old Man Huang is a good face.

It is also because of this relationship that after arriving in Nanjing from Anhui, Huang Xing praised the Anhui military government in front of others. In fact, not only them, but even those who went to Anhui with Huang Xing have a lot of changes about it.

"If that's the case, then it's naturally best..."Recently, Song Jiaoren has heard Huang Xing say that Anhui is good, so he is also happy in his heart.

After all, Anhui is also a big province anyway, and the distance from Nanjing is also close. In addition, with such an influential governor as Yan Shao, if he can really make good friends, it will be beneficial to the alliance and the Nanjing government.

It's just that unlike Song Jiaoren, their faces are happy, but when they talk about Anhui, some other people are disdainful.

Some of them have some prejudices against the Anhui military government because of what happened in Wuhu, while others simply don't like Yan Shao. It's not surprising, after all, Anhui is the meat of the Alliance's mouth, and it only needs to bite the upper and lower rows of teeth in one. This piece of meat is in the mouth.

But now that the meat has been snatched away by Yan Shao, it is strange that they will look at Yan Shao pleasing to the eye.

You must know that Ludao is a province, and it is also a province with a population of more than 20 million. And the relatively wealthy provinces, and the distance from Nanjing are close at hand, the people of the League have almost regarded Anhui as their own forbidden territory.

However, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren didn't notice this, and after being happy for a while, Huang Xing suddenly sighed again. "Actually, I don't have any interest in the position of president, I just don't want that Li Yuanhong to sit in the position of president, and now it is definitely not what I want to fight for this position..." That's right. What's going on over there in Yat-sen? Are you back? ”

"Yixian..."Song Jiaoren smiled bitterly and shook his head. I heard that I have already set off for France, and I don't know where the Daoist is now..."

"Alas...," Huang Xing sighed again. If Yatsen had come back from the United States directly after getting the news, he wouldn't have caused so many problems..."

Huang Xing really has no interest in the position of president. The battle is only because of the contradiction with the Wuchang family, and both Song Jiaoren and Tian Tong are very clear about this.

The statement of the Anhui military government made Huang Xing's side have another vote.

But Wuchang is, after all, the land of righteousness, and was once the central government recognized by the provincesβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” although it was only temporary. But it's still significant. In addition, not every junta sells the face of the League. So even with Yan Shao's support, Huang Xing is still not sure that he will win the election.

Huang Xing and Wuchang were arguing in Nanjing, and at this time, in Shanghai in the distance, a passenger ship was slowly heading towards the dock.

Standing on the deck of the passenger ship, looking at the bustling city in the distance, Sun Yat-sen held on to the railing with both hands and took a deep breath. "China, it's been a long time since I've been back..."

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

In the Governor's Mansion, Yan Shao was teaching Fumiko to play chess.

Go...

Yan Shao is a stinky chess basket in Go. But after all, I have found many famous teachers to teach in person, so it is no problem to let children in. And compared to Kaoru Otsuki or Lu Ying. Fumiko also prefers to study (play) with Yan Shao...

It's not because Yan Shaoshuai is a mess, even a few years old children can be fascinated, but I don't know what the reason is, in the past, when Yan Shao was still in another world, he has always been very popular with children, and the children of the neighbors, or their own siblings, etc., like to play with him, and Yan Shao is always very patient to play with them (crazy)...

So although both Lu Ying and Elaline love Fumiko very much, Fumiko is the most sticky to Yan Shao...

Sitting in a garden pavilion in the Governor's Mansion, Yan Shao placed a black chess piece in the upper right corner. β€œβ€¦β€¦ If you play like this, all these pieces will belong to me, but if you play in this position...", Yan Shao said that he played a white piece in another position, so that he could connect with the white pieces in other positions. "Then these chess pieces of yours will come to life..."

Yan Shao explained very carefully, Fumiko also nodded as if he didn't understand, and more than ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye, just when Yan Shao began to pack up the chess pieces and was about to take Fumiko to play elsewhere for a while, Lu Ying suddenly came over outside. β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sir..."

Screaming softly, Lu Ying walked to Yan Shao's side, and then glanced at Fumiko with some complicated glances.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The news that has just come back from the branch of the Shanghai Special Affairs Bureau shows that Sun Yat-sen's passenger ship has just arrived at the Shanghai wharf. ”

Although Lu Ying's voice was very soft, Fumiko still heard Sun Yat-sen's name, but Fumiko acted like she had never heard of this name, and just looked up at Yan Shao and Lu Ying and then focused on the chessboard again.

Of course, Yan Shao and Lu Ying understood what this was for, Sun Yat-sen and Da Yue Xun ran out of Lu to go to the revolution not long after they got married, and they didn't go back until 1905, and then they left nothing but a child for her, and they disappeared from now.

In other words, since Fumiko was born, she has never seen Sun Yat-sen.

For ordinary children, if they have not seen their father, they will definitely find a way to find out about their father. The problem is that even if the child wants to know who his father is, he will have to wait until he can remember, and Fumiko will be 3 years old at that time.

When she was 4 years old, she wanted to know who her father was. Kaoru Otsuki was already desperate for Sun Yat-sen and didn't want to mention this person, and then Fumiko was brought to China from Japan by Kaoru Otsuki and Lu Ying.

Even historically, in fact. Fumiko also learned that her biological father was Sun Yat-sen much later, and at that time it was already 1956, and Fumiko was also 50 years old...

Seeing that Fumiko didn't seem to care about the name Sun Yat-sen, Yan Shao and Lu Ying both shook their heads.

"Sun Yat-sen is back, it seems that Huang Xing and Li Yuanhong don't have to fight for the position of president..."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Lu Ying was slightly stunned. "Master, is this position Sun Yat-sen already secure?" From a woman's point of view. Lu Ying was a little unaccustomed to Sun Yat-sen's practice of liking the new and hating the old, and now hearing Yan Shao say that Sun Yat-sen's position as the president seemed to be nine out of ten, she was naturally a little unhappy in her heart.

noticed Lu Ying's appearance. Yan Shao collected the chess pieces on the chessboard. "Nine out of ten? It's almost, after all, both Li Yuanhong and Huang Xing have their own supporters, and if they continue to fight like this, not only will the position of the president not be able to compete for a reason. If they don't get it, they're going to be torn apart. So at this time, there needs to be a person with a high enough reputation, and at the same time there is no conflict of interest with other powerful people, this person, the most suitable is obviously Sun Yat-sen, after all, he has been abroad in the past, rarely returns to China, and there is no gap with the local powerful factions, they will easily accept Sun Yat-sen. ”

"Fame is high enough...", biting his lower lip. Lu Ying said with a little excitement. "Then sir, aren't you also qualified?" For Lu Ying and many others. Yan Shao is actually qualified to compete for the presidency.

"Me?" Yan Shao was stunned for a moment, and only shook his head after half a sound. "Of course I have this qualification, the problem is that I am not the most qualified one, and the position of this president is not so easy to sit on, first of all, the local taxes may not be paid to the provisional government, and there are local things, you as the president also have to take care of it, plus miscellaneous, this position is not so easy to do."

"Not to mention anything else, there are about 200,000 people's troops gathered in Nanjing now, and now that the south has been recovered, the provisional government is also talking to Yuan Shikai about peace. As long as peace is negotiated, the more than 200,000 people's troops left behind in Nanjing will be useless, and the provisional government will not be able to keep them all the time, right? The problem is that people are playing with their lives to do the revolution, you can't give no benefit to others, at least give some severance pay, this severance pay also needs to be paid by the provisional government, and Beijing will not be able to help you at all..."

"Severance pay, severance pay for 200,000 people, it takes at least a few million to stop it, if you can't take it out, those civilian troops will mutiny..."

"Naturally, I can definitely take out millions of words, the problem is that I am facing a group of guys who are yang and yin all day long, I might as well be my governor of Anhui wholeheartedly, and the rest will wait until one day I want to go further..."

Yan Shao is really not interested in the position of president, yes, theoretically, the provisional government is indeed in charge of the provinces that have been restored in the south and north. But in reality? These local provinces did not throw off the Provisional Government at all. The annual taxes will not be paid at all, and if you are short of money, they will look for you, and you will need to take care of them if they cause trouble, which is really a headache.

And now that Yan Shao is short of manpower, one Anhui is already the limit, if he really becomes the president, at least it is not a happy event now, and it is no wonder that Yan Shao is not interested in this position at all.

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

After listening to Yan Shao's story, Lu Ying suddenly felt that the position of the president did not seem to be interesting, so she did not insist that Yan Shao run for election.

On the other hand, after a slight mutter, Yan Shao looked at Lu Ying and asked. "By the way, the Japanese side has already arranged it..."

"It's already arranged..."Lu Ying nodded. The Special Affairs Bureau has already arranged for someone to wait at Kaoru Otsuki's residence in Japan, and if the person surnamed Sun still has some conscience and sends someone back to find them, the people from the Special Affairs Bureau will inform them of the current residence of Kaoru Otsuki's mother and daughter, and at the same time send a telegram back..."

Although Kaoru Otsuki is already desperate for Sun Yat-sen, Fumiko still needs a father after all. Therefore, Yan Shao took it upon himself to ask people to pay more attention to Kaoru Otsuki and Japan's residence, and if someone really went to find them, they would immediately send a telegram to inform them to come back.

Recently, Yan Shao is dumping cars in Japan, so he has also set up a branch and several offices of the group in Japan. Therefore, this matter is extremely simple for Yan Shao. In fact, recently, the members of the Special Affairs Bureau have used these places as a cover to start a war in Japan.

Naturally, Yan Shao also told Otsuki Kaoru about this matter. However, Kaoru Otsuki felt that there was no need to do this. After all, it has been more than 6 years, and if Sun Yat-sen would send someone back to find them, he would have sent someone a long time ago. But in the past 6 years, it has never been, and in these 6 years, Kaoru Otsuki has long been desperate for Sun Yat-sen.

However, Yan Shao used Fumiko as a reason that he needed a father, and Kaoru Otsuki was not good at saying something.

Naturally, Yan Shao didn't think that Sun Yat-sen would send someone back to find the two of them, because he didn't do it in history.

On the other hand. With the return of Sun Yat-sen, the position of the president has finally come to a conclusion.

In fact, it was only Huang Xing who was opposed by the Wuchang faction, and there was nothing to oppose to Sun Yat-sen himself. So after learning that there was one more Sun Yat-sen who came out to run. Soon the Wuchang family and the provinces standing behind them voted for Sun Yat-senβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” after all, this provisional government is to elect a representative, to be honest, the Wuchang family and the provinces behind him are also a little reluctant to drag on.

So in the votes of the seventeen provinces, Sun Yat-sen alone received 16 votes. Another vote was cast for Huang Xing.

So far. Sun Yat-sen officially became the first president of the provisional government, albeit only temporarily.

Naturally, if you have a big president, you must also have a vice president. So not long after the presidential election, the vice president election ceremony was held. In the process of the election, Li Yuanhong officially became the vice president of the provisional government. Along with Li Yuanhong, there were also the posts of ministers and deputy ministers.

In the Governor's Mansion in Anqing, Yan Shao sat in front of the bookcase and handled official business.

As the laziest governor in history. Yan Shao handed over most of the work to the following. Since Katerina's special affairs bureau is there, Yan Shaozhi is not worried about any accidents. But as a governor. Some work is always done for him, so Yan Shao will also take some time out to deal with official business every day.

"Governor..."Yan Shao was handling official business over there, when Wu Qianqiu came over.

Since Yan Yongnian went to the Ministry of Justice to be his minister, Yan Shao has lacked a secretary by his side, which is the so-called assistant. Originally, Yan Shao planned to let Lu Ying come to his side to help, but unfortunately Eleno and Caterina did not allow it, and strictly stated that this assistant must be given to a man.

There was no way, Yan Shao had to make do with finding one, and it happened that when he went out, Yan Shao met Wu Qianqiu, who was working in the recruitment department, and saw that he was capable, and he was also from the Martial Arts Academy, so he transferred him to his side to be his own adjutant.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Wu Qianqiu coming, Yan Shao put down the pen in his hand and looked up.

"That's right, a telegram just came from Nanjing, saying that the Nanjing government is electing ministers and vice ministers of various ministries, and that President Sun Da means that he wants you to take up one of the posts of finance minister or minister of industry, and the representatives of the provinces have agreed..."

"Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Industry..."Yan Shao pondered for a while, if you want to talk about these two ministries, I am afraid that there is no more suitable than Yan Shao in the country, after all, Yan Shao is originally a God of Wealth-level figure, and the Yushi Group under his hand is also the largest industrial group in the country.

However, Yan Shao quickly understood what the provisional government meant, since the provisional government was temporary, the provinces would definitely not provide their own finances and taxes. What's more, the Provisional Government has only been established for a few days, and if you want money, you will definitely not have it.

At this time, I always have to find a few gods of wealth to come out, and Yan Shao is the most famous god of wealth.

If Yan Shao takes on any of these two positions, it is not an exaggeration to contribute some out of his own pocket, right?

"If you send a telegram to Nanjing, you will say that I can't get out of here...... Let them choose two more virtuous men...", Yan Shao smiled softly. "Forget about the Ministry of Finance, if you are in the Ministry of Industry, I won't fight with Mr. Zhang, after all, he has some qualifications to be the Minister of Industry." Old man Zhang, naturally, refers to Zhang Jian.

Although Zhang Jian's industry has few money-making companies except for a spinning factory, he is still worthy of the title of the first person in the industry anywayβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” if Yan Shao does not appear. In addition, Yan Shao has also become the governor of Anhui, so he is naturally unwilling to compete with Zhang Jian for the position of industrial minister.

On the other hand, after Yan Shao resigned from the posts of Minister of Finance and Minister of Industry, the Nanjing government, while deeply regretting it, also elected ministers and vice-ministers of various ministries......

Among them, the Minister of the War Department is Huang Xing, the deputy minister is Jiang Zuobin, the Navy Department is Huang Zhongying, and the deputy minister is Tang Qianming. The Minister of the Interior is Cheng Dequan, and the deputy minister is Juzheng. However, later Cheng Dequan fell ill, and Juzheng took Cheng Dequan's place.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs is Wang Chonghui, the Vice Minister is Wei Huanguo, the Minister of Justice is Wu Tingfang, the Vice Minister is Lu Zhiyi, the Minister of Education is Cai Yuanpei, and the Vice Minister is Jing Yaoyue. The Minister of Finance is Chen Jintao, and the Vice Minister is Wang Hongyou.

The minister of the Ministry of Communications is Tang Shouqian, this name is quite interesting, Tang Shouqian, hot Junwu.

In addition, Huang Xing himself served as the staff headquarters, and Niu Yongjian was the deputy chief.

So far, the provisional government of Nanjing has finally been truly established, but for this provisional government, he still has a lot of things to be busy with, just like Yan Shao, who is also busy. (To be continued......)
