Beiyang reactionaries

"That's what I think."

Duan Xun thought for a while and said: "After all, Mr. Zhongshan was one of the leaders who opposed the Qing Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty, and he was also the first interim president of the Republic of China. We should show our importance in every aspect. In this way, we form a The government mourning group. Let Yang Wei, the President of the Provisional Senate, interrupt the current congressional reform meeting first. As a representative of the Congress, he will be the head of the government mourning group. In terms of our cabinet, let President You (You Min) be the representative. Secretary-General Yang Jie was appointed as the representative of the Ministry of Military Affairs. The three of them formed the leading body of the government mourning group, fully representing the Congress, the Cabinet, and the Ministry of Military Affairs.”

"Chairman Yang (Yang Wei), President You (You Min), Secretary-General Yang (Yang Jie)."

Dai Kan nodded.

I understood what Duan Xun meant.For Sun Yat-sen who passed away, Duan Xun really gave him great courtesy and respect.Needless to say, the courtesy is a provisional Senate speaker, which is equivalent to the Senate or the speaker of the House of Representatives in the previous Congress.In terms of the current Chinese political system, the Congress is a department parallel to the presidential palace, the cabinet, and the Supreme Court.The top leader of the provisional senate is already at a very high level.

Apart from Yang Wei, You Min is the chief of the police department and a member of the cabinet, and is a high-ranking figure in the cabinet.The other is the boss of the military department, the secretary general of the military department, and a member of the military department.These are all high-level cadres.It is really the highest courtesy for Sun Yat-sen that the government can send representatives of this scale.Not to mention Sun Yat-sen, in the current government agency, except for Duan Xun, other people died, and the level of the funeral team is like this.Duan Xun completely regarded Sun Yat-sen as the head of government to organize the funeral group.

Not to mention respect.

Yang Wei, You Min, and Yang Jie were all from the Tongmenghui, and they all knew Sun Yat-sen.Yang Wei is the leader of the Sichuan Tongmenghui, You Min is one of the leaders of the Shandong Tongmenghui, and Yang Jie is also one of the important generals of the Yunnan Army who participated in the Tongmenghui in Japan.

They are all revolutionary parties, and they are all from the League.Let the three of them be the leaders of the funeral group, this is the respect for the dead Sun Yat-sen.

"These three are good."

"I heard that Mr. Sun Yat-sen's last wish was to be buried in Nanjing, so please follow this last wish. Let Shanghai Deputy Mayor Wang Boqun join the funeral team and fully cooperate with the Kuomintang."

"it is good."

Dai Kan agrees.

Because Wang Boqun is an important figure in the Guizhou Revolutionary Party, he is familiar with Sun Yat-sen, and has a good relationship with other leaders of the Kuomintang.It would be nice to have him out there.

"I'll ask Deng Yanda to join the funeral team as my personal representative."

Duan Xun paused, and said to Dai Kan: "However, Mr. Zhongshan has passed away. It is time to make a conclusion on his life. Our government must also make some statements. What do you think should be better?"

"In the past few years, we have suppressed the Kuomintang severely. At this time, we suddenly speak highly of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, which will confuse students across the country and affect the credibility of the government."

Dai Kan frowned.

Very hesitant.Beginning in 1921, in order to suppress the Kuomintang, government agencies made different interpretations of the [-] Revolution.It turns out that the Kuomintang has been propagating that the Tongmenghui is the main force and even the leader of the anti-Qing Dynasty.The Tongmenghui and later the Kuomintang relied on this political propaganda to continuously absorb young people.However, in order to suppress the Kuomintang, the government used the opportunity of commemorating the Revolution of [-] to create a large number of people and forces, claiming that the success of the anti-Qing movement is due to everyone's credit.

In recent years, not only organizations such as the Gongjin Association and the Restoration Association have been highly praised, but also many constitutionalists and even the Beiyang Army have been praised.I think everyone is involved in the anti-Qing movement.

Now that Sun Yat-sen has passed away, it is impossible to say how much Sun Yat-sen worked so hard, and how the League will work so hard. Isn't this just a slap in the face.

"The high evaluation still needs to be highly evaluated."

Duan Xun thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zhongshan is also a pioneer of the revolution. He has been defeated repeatedly, and the spirit of repeated defeats should inspire the latecomers."

"The prime minister said so."

Dai Kan nodded repeatedly.

Dai Kan immediately understood what Duan Xun meant.Now the government has to show generosity, because there are still many young people on the KMT side.Including many young students, they are still very supportive of the Kuomintang and Sun Yat-sen.These students are also the treasures of the country, the wealth of the country, whether Duan Xun or the People's Party must win over them.Therefore, the government must not show stinginess on the issue of Sun Yat-sen.If you show stinginess on the issue of Sun Yat-sen, it will be bad for the government and Duan Xun.

So we should speak highly of Sun Yat-sen.

But Duan Xun has a way.

It should be highly appraised, but mainly to appraise his indomitable spirit of repeated defeats and battles.Instead of evaluating how many things he has accomplished, just evaluate his spirit.In this way, there will be no conflict with previous propaganda.

"If you have no objection, I will ask Chen Bulei to write an article commemorating Mr. Zhongshan on behalf of the cabinet."

"can."

"Also, for those government workers who want to pay homage to Sun Yat-sen, they can write a leave letter in advance. Many people in our government agencies have personal relationships with Mr. Sun Yat-sen. Let them take turns to ask for leave. Absolutely not allowed He left the post without asking for leave.”

"it is good."

Not to mention other departments, just look at the cabinet.People like Yu Youren, Zhang Lan, You Min, and even Tan Yankai all had personal friendships with Sun Yat-sen.

If someone wants to worship Sun Yat-sen, Duan Xun will not stop it.But you can't leave your post blindly and wantonly.

"That's it. When Mr. Zhongshan is buried, I will go to Nanjing to attend."

461

"I go?"

Yang Wei was very surprised.

Although Sun Yat-sen is well-known, he has not appeared in the political arena for many years.It should be said that Sun Yat-sen has not appeared in the political arena since he was kicked out of the military government by Lu Rongting and the others during the Dharma Protection War.For the next six or seven years, Sun Yat-sen stayed in Shanghai to write books.

Therefore, Yang Wei was very surprised to be asked to personally serve as the head of the funeral team.There are not many people in the current Beijing government who can let people of Yang Wei's level take action.

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

Said: "Brother Xin Ye, you are the head of the regiment. Go with Chief You (You Min), Secretary-General Yang (Yang Jie) of the Military Department, and Deng Yanda, Chief Guard of the Prime Minister of our cabinet."

"It's okay for me to go, and Mr. Zhongshan passed away, so I should go and see it personally."

Yang Wei sighed.

Yang Wei knew Sun Yat-sen.At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Yang Wei went to Japan to study police affairs and met Sun Yat-sen in Yokohama.Because of this, Yang Wei joined the Tongmenghui shortly after its establishment.

Therefore, it can be said that there is still a very good friendship between Yang Wei and Sun Yat-sen.

Although 20 years have passed, Yang Wei still remembers the time when he first met Sun Yat-sen.At that time, it could be said that Sun Yat-sen was a symbol, a revolutionary leader in the hearts of many young people.It is precisely because of Sun Yat-sen that young people of Yang Wei's generation joined the Revolutionary Party.

Now that Sun Yat-sen is gone, Yang Wei should go and have a look, and pay respects.

"However, what about the Congress? Now the local representatives have made concessions and agreed with us on the issue of voting rights reform. Now is the time to work hard to complete the Congressional voting rights reform plan. There are still many specific things that need further discussion. I If we go to Shanghai, who will be responsible for this matter."

"Let's go first."

"Dispersed?"

Yang Wei frowned first, but quickly said: "Then when do you want to reopen the Congress?"

Yang Wei understood what Duan Xun meant.

Duan Xun used the excuse of Sun Yat-sen's funeral to interrupt the current parliamentary election reform meeting.If this meeting fails to negotiate a takeover, then the re-election of the Congress will fail again.

It will take at least two or three months for Sun Yat-sen's funeral to be completed.It will take a long time to wait until these are completed before holding a meeting.

Then we discuss this issue again, and it will take a lot of time.This matter about the congressional elections will be postponed for another year.In other words, Duan Xun is about to postpone the congressional election again.Yang Wei supports Duan Xun and has always supported Duan Xun.That's because Yang Wei supported the plan that Duan Xun and himself had said.Yang Wei agrees with Duan Xun's presidential system and Duan Xun's development plan for China.

So Yang Wei has been procrastinating, helping the cabinet to centralize power, helping Duan Xun to centralize power, and preventing other forces from interfering with Duan Xun's power.But these do not mean that Yang Wei can support Duan Xun unconditionally and without restriction.

Duan Xun will continue to follow the original plan, and Yang Wei will continue to support Duan Xun with all his strength.But if Duan Xun wants to follow Yuan Shikai's old path, Yang Wei will definitely not support Duan Xun.Back then, Yang Wei was tortured by Yuan Shikai because he opposed Yuan Shikai's proclaiming emperor, and almost died.
