Beiyang reactionaries

The elected members of the Provisional Senate are probably from Duan Xun's side.If Duan Xun even controls the Provisional Senate, then Duan Xun controls the highest legislative body and the highest executive body.

The Beijing government in the future will really become a situation where Duan Xun can cover the sky with one hand.

I really want to become a complete puppet.Because at that time, Duan Xun did not need the support of the Presidential Office for anything he did.

But Xu Shichang can only compromise.

Old and old, Xu Shichang didn't want to make a fuss, and was obsessed with the position of the president.Even if he has no rights, the president is the highest position after all, and he is very greedy.

With Xu Shichang's support, Duan Xun accelerated the pace of dealing with the Congress.The cabinet's repeated questioning and criticism first made the Speaker of the House of Representatives Wu Jinglian unbearable.

Because with the aggressiveness of the cabinet, the pressure is increasing.

On June 1922, 6, under pressure, the speaker of the House of Representatives, Wu Jinglian, announced his resignation as the speaker of the House of Representatives.He was willing to apologize for the affairs of the members of the House of Representatives and was willing to take responsibility, so he chose to resign.But in the end Wu Jinglian still criticized the cabinet and Duan Xun.

It is believed that Congress, as the highest legislative body, should have sufficient authority and power.However, the Congress was wantonly suppressed by the cabinet. This is destroying the political ecology of the Republic of China and the republic of the Republic of China.Wu Jinglian criticized Duan Xun for suppressing the Congress in such a way that it was exactly the same as Yuan Shikai back then.

Call on everyone to oppose Duan Xun, thinking that Duan Xun will definitely learn from Yuan Shikai if he continues like this.

Wang Yitang originally wanted to hold on.

But Wu Jinglian's resignation put all the pressure on Wang Yitang.Regarding Wu Jinglian's resignation, Wang Yitang was also caught off guard.In desperation, on June 1922, 6, Wang Yitang could not bear the huge pressure and chose to resign.

Yang Wei, the former vice-president of the Senate, temporarily served as the pro-temporary president of the Senate to appease the current Congress.

But only temporarily.

Because on June 1922, 6, the President of the Supreme Court and former Prime Minister Wang Chonghui made a judgment on the proposal submitted by the cabinet in the Supreme Court.According to the "Government Staff Handbook", the 17 members of Congress who were involved in opium this time were sentenced to terminate their qualifications because they violated the agreement of government staff.Moreover, according to regulations, within a certain period of time, he is not allowed to serve as a member of parliament again, nor is he allowed to hold government positions.

With the Supreme Court disqualifying 64 MPs, the current number of MPs is nowhere near a quorum.

1922年6月20日内阁以国会议员人数不够法定人数为由，向大总统建议国会立即关门。1922年6月21日大总统徐世昌对于内阁的提议签字。认为目前的国会议员人数不够法定人数，因此决定关闭国会。

On June 1922, 6, Congress shut down completely.

After the closing of the National Assembly, on June 1922, 6, President Xu Shichang appointed the current pro-temporary speaker of the Senate, Yang Wei, as the pro-temporary Senate speaker, announcing the formation of a provisional Senate to replace the functions of the National Assembly.

Members of the Provisional Senate begin in July and are formalized by early August.As required, each province recommends two MPs.Among them are several special provinces. Tibet recommends two Tibetan parliamentarians and two Han parliamentarians.Both Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia have four MPs, including two Mongolian MPs and two Han MPs.The situation in Xinjiang is the same.

And Gansu has four parliamentary seats.Among them, Ningxia in Gansu has one quota, Qinghai has one quota, and other places in Gansu have two quotas.Rehe, Chahar, Suiyuan is a member of parliament.

The last place that is different is Beijing.

This time, the cabinet singled out Beijing and asked Beijing to recommend two members of the temporary Senate.And asked Shanghai to recommend a temporary member of the Senate.As a result, the number of the provisional Senate has become 68, and Yang Wei, the provisional president of the Senate, has a total of 69 persons.

As for the new parliamentary elections, a decision will be made after the provisional Senate is established.

362 Yan Xishan

"Brother Jing'an (Wen Shouquan), Brother Weifan (Yao Yiji), and Wenxuan (Kong Geng), I haven't seen each other for many years."

There is a lot of trouble in Beijing because of the closure of the Congress.

In Taiyuan, Yan Xishan greeted his old friends.They are all meritorious figures of Shanxi [-] who commanded the Shanxi Revolution together with Yan Xishan in the year of [-], and all of them are left in the history book of the Shanxi [-] Revolution.Moreover, many of them are classmates with Yan Xishan and have been friends for many years.

But their relationship with Yan Xishan is not good.

Here Wen Shouquan was the deputy governor of Shanxi and concurrently the Minister of Military and Political Affairs after the Shanxi Revolution in the year of [-]. He was definitely a top boss in Shanxi back then.However, after the Revolution of [-], his relationship with Yan Xishan was not good, and he was constantly suppressed by Yan Xishan, so he announced his resignation in a rage.

But Wen Shouquan, even if he went to the field, had a great influence in the Jinsui army.

Because after Wen Shouquan graduated from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School and returned to Shanxi Province, he served as the supervisor of the Supervision Office and the supervisor of the Army Primary School in Shanxi.Trained a large number of young officers.

When Yan Xishan reorganized the Jinsui Army, he used a large number of graduates from Baoding Military Academy when reorganizing the Jinsui Army.And most of them are Shanxi natives who graduated from Baoding Military Academy.These people all went to Army Elementary School in Shanxi in their early years, then Qinghe Middle School, and finally graduated from Baoding Military Academy.Therefore, many people were Wen Shouquan's students when they were studying in Army Primary School.The current battalion-level officers of the Jinsui Army, including Fu Zuoyi, Zhao Chengshou, and Li Fuying, are all students of Wen Shouquan.

As for Yao Yizhi, he was also one of the leaders of the Shanxi Revolution of [-].During the uprising in Taiyuan, Shanxi, Yao Yizhi was not a member of the League, but he became the commander-in-chief of the rebel army, leading troops to attack Taiyuan, and made the first contribution.

It's a pity that Yao Yiji, who is proud of his talent, has a very bad relationship with Yan Xishan, and looks down on Yan Xishan.Who is Yan Xishan, how can he be used to Yao Yiqi.So they arranged for a stage play called "The Revolution of [-]", in which Yao Yizhi was turned into a martial artist who only knew how to use big swords, and Yao Yizhi's position in the Revolution of [-] was obliterated.This made Yao Yiqi furious, and even smashed the newspaper office.Then left Shanxi.

When I left, I had a very unpleasant fight with Yan Xishan.

Later, I went to Li Liejun to participate in the Second Revolution, and then went to Cai E to participate in the War to Protect the Country.After Yuan Shikai died, he returned to Beijing to settle down.

Then there is Kong Geng.

He did not participate in the Shanxi Revolution of [-]. In the year of [-], he followed Wu Luzhen.Later, Wu Luzhen was assassinated, and Kong Geng defected to his old classmate Yan Xishan.

After the Revolution of [-], Yan Xishan made an adjustment to the army in order to paralyze Yuan Shikai.That is to deploy a small number of troops in Taiyuan to reassure Yuan Shikai.Then heavy troops were placed on the north and south sides, that is, Kong Geng, the guardian of the northern Jin Dynasty, and Zhang Peimei, the guardian of the southern Jin Dynasty.Most of Yan Xishan's troops are in these two places.

After Yuan Shikai died, Yan Xishan began to take power.

The constant troubles in northern Shanxi, and even the army's mutiny, made Kong Geng, the guardian of northern Shanxi, really unable to stay, so Kong Geng also left Shanxi.This time when the three returned to Taiyuan, Yan Xishan came to greet them in person.

Although the relationship between everyone is not good, everyone is a person with a head and a face.

Surface work is to be done.

"Brother Baichuan."

The same goes for three people.

Although they were forced to leave by Yan Xishan at the beginning, they still maintained enough respect.This is for Yan Xishan, the governor of Shanxi.

"Mr. Qingliang, are you in good health?"

After Wen Shouquan greeted Yan Xishan, he bowed slightly to the old man next to Yan Xishan.

"It's okay. Jing'an (Wen Shouquan), long time no see."

"Yes."

It was Yan Xishan's first staff member, Zhao Daiwen, Yan Xishan's chief of staff, who made Wen Shouquan so respectful.Zhao Daiwen is 56 years old and is the person Yan Xishan relies on most.After the Revolution of [-], Yan Xishan dealt with Yuan Shikai, later supported Duan Qirui, and joined Cao Kun against Duan Qirui, all of which were written by Zhao Daiwen.

Including the current military construction, institutional construction, economic construction, and educational construction in Shanxi, most of them were created by Zhao Daiwen with the help of Yan Xishan.

He is a rare character in Shanxi with both civil and military skills.

Of course, Zhao Daiwen was originally a scholar, and he was a well-known genius back then. Many people thought that he would become a great Confucian.Unexpectedly, studying in Japan later became a turning point. He met Yan Xishan in Japan, met the revolutionary party, and began to gradually lean towards revolution.After that, he and Yan Xishan, who was more than ten years younger than himself, became friends who forgot the years and participated in the Revolution of [-].Over the years, he has cooperated with Yan Xishan tacitly.

Many of the current military and political systems in Shanxi come from Zhao Daiwen's sect.Wen Shouquan didn't have a good relationship with Yan Xishan, but he still had enough respect for Zhao Daiwen.Although when Yan Xishan expelled them, it was Zhao Daiwen who secretly advised Yan Xishan.

Yao Yizhi just clasped his hands together as a greeting to Zhao Daiwen.

When Yao Yizhi defended Niangziguan as the commander of the East Road, Zhao Daiwen was his chief of staff.Because Yao Yizhi had a bad relationship with Yan Xishan, he left Niangziguan in a rage.It was Zhao Daiwen who was single-handedly responsible for the withdrawal of these troops to Taiyuan.Yao Yizhi believed that Zhao Daiwen was sent by Yan Xishan to monitor him at that time, and Zhao Daiwen believed that Yao Yizhi's leaving Niangziguan was the main reason why Niangziguan was breached by the Beiyang army.So the relationship between the two has been bad.

"Please."

After the greetings were over, Yan Xishan led several people into his military governor's mansion.
