Beiyang reactionaries

After all, Duan Xun can be said to have inherited Duan Qirui's political legacy, and Duan Xun's current regime has many original "Anfu Department" bigwigs.Among the cabinet members alone, Dong Kang, the Minister of Justice, and Liang Hongzhi, the Secretary-General of the Cabinet, all came from the "Anfu Department".If Duan Xun doesn't recognize the "Anfu Department", how can he appease these big bosses of the "Anfu Department".

Therefore, the Duan Xun government recognized Xu Shichang's formal presidency.

Therefore, the election of the president this time is the third official presidential election after the founding of the Republic of China.Hu Weide became the third official president of the Republic of China.

"I announce that Lin Sen has been elected Vice President of the Republic of China."

"Whoa whoa-"

Another round of applause.

Because with Yang Wei's announcement, the third presidential election has come to a successful conclusion.Hu Weide was elected president and Lin Sen was elected vice president.Once Hu Weide is unable to perform the presidency because of something, Lin Sen will replace Hu Weide to exercise the power of the presidency.

The three people on the presidential candidate seat have different expressions.Hu Weide had a look of disbelief.This time, because of his status as vice president, he thought he was here as a foil.After all, I was a Manchu Qing official and a veteran diplomat, so I have nothing to do with Duan Xun, a group of warriors like Duan Xun.

Before the election, no one said anything to himself.

But I didn't expect that I had the most votes and became the president.And it is the third official president in the history of the Republic of China.Therefore, Hu Weide is completely confused now.

Hu Weide couldn't help looking at Yang Wei who was in the middle, and found that Yang Wei was smiling and nodding to himself.Hu Weide instantly understood that it was Yang Wei's handwriting that he was elected.

In other words, it was Duan Xun's handwriting.

In the current Chinese political circle, without Duan Xun's nod, how could he become the president.It's just that Hu Weide hasn't figured out why Duan Xun and Yang Wei chose themselves to be the president.

Lin Sen on the side behaved normally.

But I was also very puzzled.Lin Sen was half sure and half skeptical about becoming the vice president.After all, the cabinet is now dominated by the People's Party, and the Congress is also ruled by the People's Party. If Hu Hanmin is also the president, Lin Sen will not be chosen for the position of vice president in order to stop Youyou's mouth.

But?

Lin Sen couldn't help but look at Hu Hanmin next to him for a moment.

Lin Sen knew Hu Hanmin's temper, he was not a good-tempered person.Hu Hanmin's temper was well known among the revolutionary parties back then.

Sure enough, Hu Hanmin's face was extremely ugly.

Lin Sen was very worried.Because Hu Hanmin is a veteran of the Kuomintang and a member of the Standing Committee of the People's Party, he should have been the biggest candidate for the presidency this time.But now the number of votes is so low, only 99 votes is simply a shame.Everyone is smart, and no one will believe that no one will intervene behind such a vote.

Without Duan Xun's approval and Yang Wei's handwriting, this election would not be like this.With Hu Hanmin's temper, he suffered such humiliation, Lin Sen worried that it would be difficult for Hu Hanmin to stay in Beijing.

"We invited President Hu Weide to come up and speak."

"Whoa whoa-"

Hu Weide was elected as the third official president of the Republic of China without any preparation.

On March 1929, 3, Hu Weide was elected as the President of the Republic of China after a congressional vote.Two days later, on March 23, 1929, the Presidential Palace and the National Assembly held the Presidential Inauguration Ceremony together. Hu Weide officially announced his appointment as the President of the Republic of China, and Lin Sen officially announced his appointment as the Vice President of the Republic of China.

series of programs.

After a set of procedures, Hu Weide became the third president of the Republic of China and officially entered the presidential palace.On March 1929, 3, the day after Hu Weide officially announced his appointment as the President of the Republic of China, Hu Weide nominated Duan Xun to the Congress as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

A matter of course.

After all, the position of Duan Xun, the prime minister of the cabinet, is very stable. This was obtained by Duan Xun with his own strength, not bestowed by others.No matter who is elected as the great president, as long as he is not a lunatic or a fool, Duan Xun must be the nominee for the cabinet prime minister, and there will be no one else.Even if he is a lunatic or a fool with a problem in his head, if he nominates someone else as the prime minister, others will not dare to accept it.Because Duan Xun's position is determined by Duan Xun's strength.

But this is the procedure, the procedure endowed by the laws of the Republic of China.Although Duan Xun is a political strongman, he has always been known for his compliance with the rules. In these aspects, he will not give people any excuses, so the procedures that should be followed still have to be followed.Congress elects the President, and the President nominates the Prime Minister.After the prime minister took office, he has more power than the president.Because the Prime Minister is the person in charge of the cabinet, the highest administrative authority, the ROC currently implements a responsible cabinet system.

The Prime Minister has great power.But in the same way, the president is not just for show.The President not only has the power to nominate the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, but also has the power to recall the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.As for whether Congress will pass his removal request, that is beyond the control of the president.

Just like now.

After Hu Weide became the President, it was his power to nominate Duan Xun as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.In the future, he still has the right to demand the removal of Prime Minister Duan Xun from the cabinet.These are the legitimate rights of the President.

On March 1929, 3, the day after Hu Weide nominated Duan Xun as the prime minister of the cabinet, the Congress unanimously approved Hu Weide's nomination.Hu Weide immediately appointed Duan Xun as the prime minister of the cabinet.

Duan Xun is the same as Yang Wei.

Although he has been the prime minister for a long time, he has not actually been the official prime minister. At the beginning of 1922, Wang Chonghui resigned as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and Duan Xun took over the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet left by Wang Chonghui as the Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet.Became the Interim Prime Minister.

Half a year later, Duan Xun applied to the Presidential Palace to dissolve the National Assembly on the grounds that the quorum of members of the National Assembly was insufficient.After the National Assembly was dissolved, the Provisional Senate was established.

Then let the interim Senate vote Duan Xun as the prime minister of the cabinet, which is also the prime minister of the interim cabinet.After all, the provisional Senate is not the National Assembly, and the prime minister they choose is of a temporary nature, just like Sun Yat-sen's provisional president and Yuan Shikai's provisional president in the early years.

This time it is truly official as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

In other words, on March 1929, 3, Hu Weide appointed Duan Xun as the prime minister of the cabinet, which was the first time that Duan Xun officially took over the position of prime minister of the cabinet.

The real name is justified.

After the National Assembly approved Duan Xun's nomination for cabinet prime minister, on March 1929, 3, Hu Weide nominated for other positions one after another.Hu Weide nominated Wang Chonghui as the president of the Supreme Court and Weng Jingtang as the director of the Supervisory Committee, and asked the Congress to approve the appointment.

parallel units.

Originally, the government of the Republic of China was composed of the presidential palace, the Congress, and the cabinet, and the three parties checked each other.However, after Duan Xun served as the cabinet prime minister in recent years, he first separated the Supreme Court from the cabinet and established a supervisory committee.

As a result, starting from the National Assembly, whether it is the Supreme Court or the Supervisory Commission, they have all become units parallel to the cabinet in name.Therefore, the top leaders of these agencies need the nomination of a big president.

A few days later, Hu Weide also talked with Duan Xun and Yang Wei.Therefore, Hu Weide knows how he was elected president and also understands the current situation.Hu Weide himself has been in the field of diplomacy since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and his foundation is also in the field of diplomacy.But with Duan Xun taking over Beijing, it can be said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been cleaned up, and some former officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have been adjusted a lot.In addition, Yan Shichao, who is currently the Minister of Foreign Affairs, has a mixed background.Yan Shichao is not a serious diplomat, but a former local official and a soldier. He has nothing to do with many people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before.

Yan Shichao was able to get to his current position entirely because of Duan Xun's promotion.

It was Duan Xun who was promoted all the way that Yan Shichao came to the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs.And as Yan Shichao took over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he also brought many of his people with him.

As for those who used to be famous in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they are currently stationed abroad.Without Duan Xun's permission, none of those people could come back.This is true of people including Gu Weijun and Wang Zhengting, who have been stationed abroad in recent years.

Therefore, Hu Weide's work has no political foundation.

There is no historical connection with those warriors on Duan Xun's side who currently control the central government.So Hu Weide understood that if he wanted to secure his position as the President, he just had to do things honestly.Just like the former President Xu Shichang, the most important thing is to do one's duty honestly.Moreover, Hu Weide is 66 years old, and he is very satisfied to be able to become the president in the last few years.Hu Weide hoped that like Xu Shichang, he would finish his term as president honestly and leave the position of president in a good way.

Therefore, before he nominated the Supreme Court and the Supervisory Committee, he communicated with Duan Xun, fully understood Duan Xun's meaning, and then made the nomination.

Did not disrupt the current political situation.

On March 1929, 3, Congress approved Hu Weide's nomination.Wang Chonghui was formally appointed as the president of the Supreme Court, and Weng Jingtang was appointed as the director of the Supervisory Committee.

So far, all the leaders of the five major government departments have been selected.

Hu Weide became the President, Yang Wei became the Speaker of the National Assembly, Duan Xun became the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Wang Chonghui became the President of the Supreme Court, and Weng Jingtang became the Director of the Supervisory Committee.

The rest is the affairs of Duan Xun, Wang Chonghui, and Weng Jingtang.Because the President nominates them, they nominate people from their own departments.

Soon Wang Chonghui nominated the list of thirteen justices of the Supreme Court.But in the end, the Congress needs to vote and elect, from the nominations of thirteen justices, eight people will be elected as the new Supreme Court justices, and Wang Chonghui will become the leading body of the Supreme Court.

The same is true for Weng Jingtang.
