Fengxian Jiangshan

There have always been many people who covet the highest power. Although Zhang Tinglan has become the interim president and is only half a step away from reaching the top, many people still want to fight for it.

At Tang Shaoyi's house, a guest rebelled overnight, and it was Hu Shi who came.

Tang Shaoyi still wanted to meet this famous scholar of the new school. As soon as Hu Shi sat down, he said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, you have worked hard all these years. You first formed a cabinet, governed the world, and then calmed down the Southwest. You have done great things. It’s really admirable.”

"I'm just kidding. Tang was just doing his duty a little bit. Now that he is getting older and his health is failing, it happens that he is trying to care for his grandchildren. Don't mention those past events any more."

Tang Shaoyi is so shrewd. From the moment Hu Shi praised him, he could see his thoughts, so he directly said that he was ignoring state affairs. In fact, this is not wrong. On weekdays, I would meet with some old friends, drink tea, and talk about innocuous things.

When Hu Shi saw Tang Shaoyi's behavior, he was also a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Tang, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart. Please listen to them. Now that President Li Da has passed away and the head of state is vacant, there should be re-election. I foolishly thought that only Tang Mr. is the most suitable candidate, and I hope you can think about the country, do your part, and bear this burden."

Tang Shaoyi frowned, and her face was a little gloomy: "Mr. Shizhi, there are countless people who have more prestige in the world than Tang, and you said that the position of President is vacant, which is not always the case. Zhuoyan is now the interim president. In terms of merit, in terms of talent, in terms of prestige, who can compare with Zhuoyan. Now that he is the president, it is something the world looks up to, and it is a matter of course. Why should Tang be overestimated?"

Hu Shi also heard the displeasure in Tang Shaoyi's tone.He also immediately said: "Mr. Tang, I am not questioning the interim president. On the contrary, his ability is obvious to all. I admire what he has done over the years. But I also ask Mr. Tang to think about the future of the country and the Constitution of the Republic of China." For the sake of the political system, we must not let the interim president take office, otherwise the disaster of the world will be in sight!"

"Huh, Hu Shi, you are just a scholar. I respect your knowledge, so I listened to a few more words. If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will kick you out immediately. You have also studied in the United States, not because you admire the electoral system. Well, since the election is to choose talents and talents, I said that I am in the prime of life and have high prestige. Is there a more suitable candidate for the president? Why are you here to instigate?"

"Mr. Tang, please don't get angry and listen to me. Zhang Tinglan has no problems in every aspect, the only thing is that he is too young. Now he is only 29 years old, not yet [-] years old. Once It is really not a blessing for the country to suddenly rise to power."

"Nonsense, I say that in recent years, whether it is leading troops to fight or governing the country, they have made a lot of achievements. Not only do they not have the rashness of young people, but they are also steady and sophisticated, and they are determined to innovate. The age problem is not enough to talk about."

Seeing Tang Shaoyi's stubbornness, Hu Shi stomped his feet anxiously: "Mr. Tang, you never thought that Zhang Tinglan is not yet 30 years old. If she has served as president for two terms, she will be less than 40 years old. Among all political figures , is still the youngest leader. Just imagine how a person who is less than 40 years old would be willing to lose power, and he will definitely continue to work. It is not known that he will even become a lifelong president when he is 60 or [-] years old. Calculated in this way, the political system must be It will inevitably lead to dictatorship. If the head of state is ruled for life, it may develop into a hereditary system. Once this is the case, wouldn’t the Republic of China exist in name only?”

Hearing Hu Shi's words, Tang Shaoyi's expression also changed slightly. It's not that he hasn't thought about these things, but it's just that he is a little older. He feels that these things have nothing to do with him, so he doesn't think much about them, and let Hu Shi After pointing it out, Tang Shaoyi also pondered a little.

There is a door!Hu Shi was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Tang, if you can serve as president for two terms, stop Zhang Tinglan, and then Zhang Tinglan will take over again. In this way, by the time he becomes president, he will be in his fifties. And 20 years later, the country will definitely be more intelligent. Well, at that time, a dictator will definitely not be allowed to appear. Zhang Tinglan will go down gloriously, and the country’s democratic regime will be stabilized. Once this practice is formed. You and Zhang Tinglan will play the role of China’s Washington. At that time, people all over the world will be grateful for your achievements .”

When Hu Shi talked about the critical moment, he danced and danced, looking extremely excited. Tang Shaoyi frowned, and suddenly waved his hand: "Don't talk anymore, let Tang think about this matter, you can leave first."

Hu Shi had no choice but to turn around and leave when the order to evict guests was issued. As soon as he reached the door, Tang Shaoyi stopped him suddenly.

"Mr. Hu, after you go back, study hard, don't say such things to others, and be careful not to cause trouble."

"Yes."

……

"Big ya, why are you a little unhappy?"

Zhang Tinglan touched her daughter's head with a smile, her little face suddenly sank, she bared her teeth, and said loudly: "Have you forgotten the three chapters of the agreement between us?"

"What are the three chapters of the agreement, why don't I know?"

"Humph, I knew you would pretend to be confused." Da Ya took out a piece of paper from her schoolbag, shook it in front of Zhang Tinglan, and said, "This is the condition for me to agree to go to school. There are three conditions in total. I am not a little It’s a child, firstly you are not allowed to be called by nickname, others are called Zhang Yiqin, secondly, you are not allowed to touch your head, and thirdly, you are not allowed to ask about the school. Look at your signature here, and now you violated the three rules together, what do you say what to do?"

"What else can you do, you win." Zhang Tinglan smiled and hugged her daughter, and said, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. Go and see your younger siblings."

Zhang Tinglan hugged her daughter and walked back, the eldest girl looked at Zhang Tinglan, and suddenly said timidly: "Father, it's not that they don't want to tell you, but they are afraid that you will get angry."

"Do you think your father is so small that he would get angry easily?"

"Hmph, we have a new civics teacher in our school, and all students in high school and middle school are required to attend the class. The first class they teach is Washington."

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, she didn't pay attention, but smiled dumbly: "Do you little brats know who Washington is?"

"Isn't he the first president of the United States? My mother told me his story a long time ago. With the help of the French, he took a huge advantage and built a country by chance. Compared with Dad, who relied on real skills to defeat Russia It is too far behind Japan and Britain."

Da Ya said proudly: "But the new civics teacher praised Washington, and said that he is a perfect man through the ages, comparable to Yao and Shun, with the virtue of abdication, and a model for the world. He even brought a statue here specially. , asking everyone to bow to the statue of Washington."

"It's not a big deal, and Washington is indeed very remarkable. After all, the establishment of the United States can be regarded as a figure."

"That's not the case. After the teacher finished talking about Washington, he talked about Napoleon. He said that this military and political strongman defeated all enemies, but he did not defeat himself. He regarded the world as his own, brazenly ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, undermined democracy, and corrupted Although the Republic has outstanding military exploits and is invincible across Europe, it was still defeated by Waterloo in the end and died alone on the island. He said that if China gets out of Washington, it will be a blessing for the world, and if it gets out of Napoleon, the world will be in chaos. Suffering, those military and political powerhouses must take warning."

"Baby girl, can you understand what he means?"

"Why don't you understand? He is cursing Dad. If you learn from Washington, you will be respected. If you learn from Napoleon, you will end up alone and die on the island."

When the big girl said this, tears flashed in her eye sockets, her small arms wrapped around Zhang Tinglan's neck, and stuck to Zhang Tinglan's arms.

"Don't cry, your father, I don't want to be Washington or Napoleon. I am me, and China is China. Comparing a bunch of barbarian chiefs with the lord of the celestial dynasty, they are complete fools."

Zhang Tinglan hugged her daughter. At the back, Zhou Xinyao and Qiao Lanyun were both inside. Over the past few years, Qiao Lanyun and Sun Xianrui each gave birth to a son, and Zhou Xinyao gave birth to another pair of twins. There were four more children in the mansion. It became lively.

Da Ya has no interest in these milk dolls who can't speak clearly, but just snuggles into Zhang Tinglan's arms, reluctant to leave.

"Zhuoyan, I have something to do, come with me."

Zhang Tinglan had no choice but to put her daughter on the bed: "Let's play with your younger siblings."

While talking, Zhang Tinglan turned around and went to the side room with Zhou Xinyao. Zhou Xinyao took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Tinglan.

"This is a letter from my father. He said that he has contacted the business circles in Tianjin and is willing to unanimously support you as the lifelong president, command the country, and reform the bad governance."

Zhang Tinglan glanced at it, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Some people don't want me to be in the position, but some people want me to be in the position. It's so interesting."

Zhang Tinglan hugged Zhou Xinyao's waist with a smile: "Madam, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters, I can handle them myself."

After getting bored with a few children for a while, Zhang Tinglan returned to the study, and immediately asked someone to invite Wang Yongjiang over. The two of them sat facing each other. Any ideas?"

"Whether they want me to be in power or want to stop me, they are all for their own power. For me, becoming the president is inevitable, because a mess is coming. If I don't take the helm personally, I am really worried. But I am not prepared to use violence to achieve my goals. Therefore, I am planning to completely reorganize the New Democratic Party, expand its representation, establish party branches in towns and villages, and strengthen control over the entire country."

Chapter 794 The Far East is in Trouble

Modern countries basically adopt a representative system, that is, the country is governed by political parties, and political parties can be divided into soft parties and rigid parties.

All soft parties have loose party discipline and insufficient organization. There is even no registration and evaluation system. They are very flexible according to the election situation. For example, both parties in the United States are soft parties. Like clubs, they can join or quit at any time.

As for the rigid political parties, they have a clear party program and party discipline, and a clear management system from the central government to the local governments, with stricter organization and stronger cohesion. Among them, the majority parties in Russia and some left-wing parties in European countries are among them.

China Tongmenghui was originally a soft political party. Although it upholds the anti-Qing general program, it has complicated internal personnel and loose organization. It is difficult for this kind of political party to truly lead the revolution.As for the subsequent Chinese Revolutionary Party, it was a bit of a rigid political party, except that everyone had to swear allegiance to Sun Wen instead of the party program, and it became a kind of gangster organization.

When Zhang Tinglan reorganized the Democratic Party for the first time, the goal was actually very simple, which was to cope with the election and seize power from Beiyang. At this time, the New Democratic Party was actually called the United Front, and everything was a grass-roots team drawn up for the election.

"Mr. Minyuan, my purpose of reorganizing the New Democratic Party this time is also very simple. It is to build the New Democratic Party into a ruling party with strong executive and combat capabilities. When necessary, I can even follow the example of the Italian Fascist Party and form a SS military."

Wang Yongjiang's face was very serious. The issue of the political party is actually related to the future political direction of China. As a real politician, he must consider such a big matter for the next few decades or hundreds of years.No one dares to be careless.

"Zhuoyan, if it's just to deal with the dissatisfaction of members of Congress and the academic circles, it seems that you don't need to go to this step. As long as you push for changes in the election law, Zhuoyan, if you want to successfully reach the top, there is still no problem."

"I don't see these people at all, but what I am most worried about is that the country has reached a critical moment in its development. In the past, we implemented many reforms by relying on administrative orders, especially the grassroots land reform, which completely changed thousands of years of history. China's social structure. However, with the development of society, some old forces will fight back, and government and businessmen will collude together, especially the local clan power is still quite strong. This is the biggest obstacle to the next step of industrialization. If you want to fight against it for thousands of years It must have a strong party organization. It must go deep into the grassroots and control everything at the village and town level. Only in this way can we ensure the real implementation of the policy.”

Wang Yongjiang listened to Zhang Tinglan's words.He couldn't help but nodded, he also understood Zhang Tinglan's worries very well.Landlords are easy to deal with, but clans can't. In many local clans, a saying is more effective than the law.As long as this clan bond exists.The laws of the country cannot really fall to the grassroots, and it will also affect the flow of population and labor.We must know that sufficient labor force is the driving force of industrialization.Break the clan power and further liberate the shackles.It is an inevitable choice to involve more people in the tide of industrialization.

After much deliberation, the only way to fight against tradition is to use the power of the political party. Wang Yongjiang also had to nod: "Zhuoyan, your method is good, but I don't agree with the formation of the SS. Military orders must be unified. Once The emergence of two systems will cause conflicts. With your prestige, you may be able to control them, but what about your successors in the future? If they don’t reconcile the contradictions between the two, they will fight first. And if you want to use To change China, the political party should ensure the advanced nature of the political party, relying on reasoning to convince everyone, relying on force is not advisable."

Zhang Tinglan also nodded with a smile: "That's my idea. Since my husband thinks it's not feasible, I'll give it up. But strengthening the party's power and building a more powerful political party is an inevitable choice."

While speaking, Zhang Tinglan handed over a plan he had drawn up to Wang Yongjiang. According to the design, the highest authority of the New Democratic Party is the executive committee. Every five years, 7 to 13 executive members are selected. In principle, the committee members are at the same level, and a secretary is appointed as the initiator of each meeting.
