Beiyang reactionaries

March 1929, 3, was the day Congress elected the President.The current president, Xu Shichang, must not be able to continue working. It's not that Duan Xun doesn't want him to do it.In fact, Duan Xun is very unwilling to break the current political balance, and is very satisfied with the current political ecology of China.

It's just that Xu Shichang is too old.

Xu Shichang is already 74 years old this year. If he becomes president at such an age, it will always be bad.Duan Xun is also planning to implement a retirement system. If Xu Shichang continues to be the president at such an age, how will he implement the retirement system in the future.Therefore, Xu Shichang is not among the presidential candidates this time.

There are three current presidential candidates.

One is the current Vice President Hu Weide. As Vice President, he is naturally qualified to become a presidential candidate.One is Hu Hanmin, a member of the Standing Committee of the People's Party and the governor of Guangdong in the year of [-]. The other is the provisional Senate speaker of the Nanjing Provisional National Government after the Revolution of [-]. Lin was the speaker of the Senate in Beijing when Yuan Shikai was president. Mori.

Three are current presidential candidates.

The big presidential election is getting closer, but the big presidential election is not blind.Why the BJP wants to control Congress is to control electoral power.When the Kuomintang controlled the Congress, why did it have so much influence?It is because the Congress elects the president, and whichever party controls the Congress is qualified to control the election of the president.

Now that the People's Party controls the Congress, how can it choose a person at will.

Without the support of the People's Party, it is impossible for anyone who wants to be a great president.As far as the current situation is concerned, Duan Xun is the prime minister of the cabinet and the president of the People's Party.

Duan Xun is the undisputed political strongman in China's political landscape.

Duan Xun has the most say in choosing who will be the president.Although the president is somewhat in name only under Duan Xun's strength.But if it is true, the president still has a lot of power.

It's just that Duan Xun has been too powerful these years, and the presidential palace is basically dispensable.

But if an ambitious person is elected president and competes with Duan Xun for power, Duan Xun is not afraid, but it will be very embarrassing.After all, Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui's "dispute between government and court" was notorious.Duan Xun didn't want to have another so-called "controversy between the government and court" with him.It will definitely make people laugh at that time.

"Actually, I also think that Zhantang (Hu Hanmin) is not very suitable. But Wang Zhaoming (Wang Jingwei) has recommended Zhantang to be the president, and he himself has been promoting it among members of Congress."

Yang Wei frowned.

The big presidential election is just around the corner, and the last moment has come.Yang Wei, the speaker of the National Assembly, must come over to exchange opinions with Duan Xun before the presidential election.Listen to what Duan Xun means.

Yang Wei is Duan Xun's like-minded comrade.

The two became political allies, not because of personal friendship.On the contrary, the two don't have much personal relationship. Speaking of which, Yang Wei, as a veteran revolutionary party, has good personal relationships with many people in the revolutionary party.Because many members of the revolutionary party were his classmates and his revolutionary comrades, they went to school together, talked about the revolution together, and even carried guns and fought wars together.

But what brought Duan Xun and Yang Wei together in the end was because the two had very similar ideas.The two people are very similar in their thoughts on China's political system, their thoughts on China's development, and their judgments on the world situation.Duan Xun's political views and Duan Xun's thoughts on China's development all made Yang Wei very supportive.

That's why Yang Wei was willing to help Duan Xun.

These years were the most difficult years in Yang Wei's political career.Yang Wei has always had a good reputation, because his indomitable deeds in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China gave him a high status in the revolutionary party.For many young people, Yang Wei's deeds are widely circulated.

After all, he was one of the leaders of the Sichuan Revolutionary Party, and was imprisoned by the Qing Dynasty for many years in his early years for the anti-Qing revolution.And because he opposed Yuan Shikai, he was almost killed by Yuan Shikai.But he never changed his mind.

But these years are different.

In the past few years, Duan Xun has been holding back the Congress, and has always let the Provisional Senate replace the Congress and firmly grasp the power of the government.Therefore, the news that Duan Xun is going to proclaim himself emperor has been flying all over the sky in recent years, and there are also many requests to call for the convening of a parliament.Some members of the provisional Senate could not bear the criticism of others and resigned.The situation is even worse for Yang Wei, who is the interim president of the Senate.

He was almost scolded as Duan Xun's son of a bitch.

But Yang Wei endured it.

Because Yang Wei believed in Duan Xun.Sure enough, without any interference in the past few years, the cabinet headed by Duan Xun has done very well.The data reported by various departments during the cabinet meeting has also reached the ears of members of Congress.

Because Congress reviews government work every year, this is a procedure.

The moment Yang Wei saw those data, he felt like crying.Looking at those data, how dare the previous China dare to think.But the reality is that it appears there alive.

Faced with such data, Yang Wei's trust in Duan Xun is of course getting deeper and deeper.Now is the presidential election, and Yang Wei doesn't want to elect someone who is not very obedient, which will make things difficult for Duan Xun.If because of this election mistake, the presidential palace and the cabinet prime minister are dirty and affect the current good situation, then ten thousand deaths will not be enough to forgive their crimes.

The current situation is that Hu Weide is almost a foil.Because both Hu Hanmin and Lin Sen were former bigwigs of the Kuomintang and big figures in the revolutionary party in the late Qing Dynasty.And since the merger of the People's Party and the Kuomintang, both of them have also become members of the People's Party.

Here, Hu Hanmin is even one of the members of the Standing Committee of the People's Party and one of the people's party's highest authority.

Compared to the two of them, Hu Weide has nothing to do with the People's Party.Although he is the vice president, he does not have the slightest advantage in front of the People's Party controlling Congress.

In fact, Hu Hanmin was the most vocal.

After all, he is a veteran of the Tongmenghui, the governor of Guangdong in [-], and now a member of the Standing Committee of the People's Party.Moreover, Wang Jingwei, the deputy speaker of the National Congress, waved the flag and shouted loudly.So many people think that Hu Hanmin's becoming the president is a certainty.

"He's restless."

Duan Xun didn't talk much.

Having worked with Yang Wei for more than ten years, Duan Xun and Yang Wei know each other very well.Some things need not be said too obviously, but two people can understand each other's meaning.

Yang Wei nodded slightly.

Restless.

Just such a sentence, Duan Xun's attitude is very obvious.Hu Hanmin is restless, that is to say, if he becomes the president, there will be a lot of excitement between the presidential palace and the cabinet prime minister.Not to mention that both of them are members of the People's Party, and there might be some dissension within the People's Party.

This is not good.

It's not that Duan Xun is afraid of him, because Hu Hanmin has no right to make Duan Xun afraid.It's just not very good, after all, Hu Hanmin is a KMT boss.If Duan Xun deliberately suppresses him and has conflicts with him, the former Kuomintang members of the People's Party will have other ideas.It is more likely that Duan Xun's direct descendants believe that the Kuomintang is restless and will suppress those former members of the Kuomintang within the party.It will cause divisions within the party.

Now China is at a time when it is hard to train its internal strength. There should not be too many problems in politics, which is not conducive to China's development.

This is what is often said to move the whole body.

Duan Xun is the prime minister of the cabinet and the president of the People's Party, so he must consider the issue comprehensively.Don't cause bigger problems because of some things.Many things have to be cut off when they appear.

"Then you want to..."

"How about Hu Weide?"

"Hu Weide, Hu Weide."

After a brief contact, Yang Wei had already fully understood Duan Xun's meaning after only saying a few words.Hu Hanmin's qualifications are too deep, his reputation is too great, and because he has been in charge of the Kuomintang party newspaper and the like, he is very popular among young members of the Kuomintang.

If that's all it's fine.

Which one of Wang Jingwei and Liao Zhongkai is not like this.But Wang Jingwei is very smart and smooth, and he won't do hard things.Although Liao Zhongkai has a tough temper, he has a strong working ability.

Compared to them, Hu Hanmin is too "restless".

In doing some specific things, he is not as good as Liao Zhongkai.In terms of tact and understanding current affairs, he is not as good as Wang Jingwei.People who cannot see the reality clearly and are restless, but have qualifications and prestige are not suitable to be the president.Doesn't even fit in the BJP often will continue.Duan Xun doesn't want such people to exist below.

"Hu Weide is not bad."

Yang Wei immediately said: "Vice President Hu is an experienced diplomat, and his qualifications in China's diplomatic field are unmatched. Not only has he served as the Minister to Japan, but also the Minister to Russia, Spain, France, and the The Portuguese envoy knows everything about diplomacy very well. Moreover, he was born in the Qing Dynasty, and he is also very familiar with many traditional etiquettes in our country. Isn't this exactly what a president needs? And it is said that our People's Party is carrying out The unity of the party and the state criticizes our People's Party for being too strong, controlling the cabinet, controlling the Congress, and wanting to control the presidential palace. It happens that we can support the non-partisan Vice President Hu as the president, and we can also let those public opinions see how our People's Party is. do things."

"Ha ha."

Duan Xun smiled.

This is Yang Wei's greatest skill.You can find an aboveboard reason for doing anything, and you can say it so fresh and refined.Even though I knew it wasn't like that, it sounded like that.

"Zhantang (Hu Hanmin) is aiming at the position of the president. If so, I don't think he can see the position of the vice president. I think Lin Gong (Lin Sen) is the most suitable vice president."
