Years of the Republic of China 1913

Yang Yongtai is very famous. Fang Zida has heard of this person for a long time. The two parties have known each other but never had a close relationship. Yang Yongtai is currently a member of the National Assembly. He is an old man from KMT. He has good personal relationships with Song Jiaoren, Sun Wen and others. Song and Sun Er parted ways Later, Sun Wen formed another revolutionary party in Japan. Yang Yongtai put on a stance of not helping each other, quit KMT, and gradually faded out of the various factions of the Tongmenghui. This is the main reason why Fang Zida did not have any contact with him after taking over KMT party affairs .However, Yang Yongtai is well known. He is proficient in law, has insight in finance, and is resourceful. He is a rare talent.After Song and Sun turned their backs, both sides made great efforts to win over Yang Yongtai. Even Yuan Shikai repeatedly invited Yang Yongtai to serve in the government, but he declined all of them, and he just roamed around Beijing as a senator.Unexpectedly, Yang Du quietly pulled Yang Yongtai over, and Fang Zida was ecstatic when he heard the news.

On the second day, under the arrangement of Yang Du, Fang Zida met Yang Yongtai. Looking at this gentle and elegant wise man in a suit, Fang Zida immediately stepped forward to shake hands.

"Mr. Changqing, I've heard of you for a long time."

"Hehe, Mr. Zhang Ming, I've heard your name for a long time." Yang Yongtai joked easily, Fang Zida was slightly taken aback, and suddenly laughed at the same time as Yang Du who was beside him.

After sitting down, Yang Yongtai looked at Fang Zida first, and then said with a smile: "Xizi and I are old friends. I originally didn't want to participate in the current chaos according to my temper, but I can't stand Xizi's constant contact." After some persuasion, I still reluctantly agreed. I just said that Mr. Zhang Ming has been famous for a long time. This is half a joke. Mr. Zhang Ming's handwriting is responsible for major national affairs, which is amazing! But today, I would like to ask Mr. Cheng Ming, how do you think our Republic of China should develop?"

Yang Yongtai's words made it difficult for Fang Zida to answer for a while. The question he asked was really too big. How can the country develop?This is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, so I thought about it for a while.Fang Zida said frankly: "Although the Republic of China was not long ago, the entire constitutional system has gradually taken shape. Governments in various places have been disintegrated since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the fact that various factions of warlords are independent of Zhongyang is also under the efforts of Zhongyang. It has improved. Coupled with the opportunities brought about by the current European war. The recovery of Qingdao and Outer Mongolia, the rapid development of domestic industry and commerce, and the gradual improvement of finances are some good aspects. However, the parties and parties in Zhongyang Distrust still exists, especially some overseas parties still like to use force to solve problems in everything. This is not a good thing. There is a saying in the West that politics is an art of compromise. Why can’t it be dealt with by the law of constitutional government? What differences do you have? Sit down and have a good discussion and talk, even if it’s a quarrel or even a fight. Mr. Changqing is a senator, and you often come to Congress Experience."

Speaking of this, Yang Yongtai and Yang Du laughed at the same time. Quarreling and fighting between the various parties in the Congress has become a common occurrence. Sometimes, for an issue, the pros and cons will even fight each other when they are arguing. The venue is often Shoes and hats flying around, which is no surprise.Even Yang Yongtai was one of them during the meeting.I have been beaten, and I have beaten others.

"Mr. Changqing is familiar with the law and the road to Western constitutionalism. In fact, this kind of squabbling is a common thing at the beginning of constitutionalism. Although it looks like a joke, no one can deny it. The manifestation of min zhu. Some people pick up the bowl to eat meat, put down their chopsticks and scold their mothers. They close their eyes and yell at zhong yangdu cai, but think about it the other way around, if zhong yang is really du cai, where would such a thing happen? Can you tolerate these people scolding your mother?"

Hearing this, Yang Yongtai nodded slowly. He is well versed in Chinese and Western politics, and he is well versed in politics, so of course he understands the reason behind what Fang Zida said.However, that's not what he asked, and he didn't come to discuss this matter with Fang Zida today, but wanted to hear Fang Zida's views on governing the country.

"Hehe, I lost my words for a while, Mr. Changqing, please don't mind." Fang Zida smiled, and turned back to the topic: "How the Republic of China will go in the future, this cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences. Now The world in today's world is different from that of thousands of years ago, when only relying on seclusion, self-cultivation, and one-thirty taxes can make the country prosperous and strong. As the world structure is different, the method of governing the country must also change accordingly, just as As I said earlier, constitutionalism is the basic guarantee of the country. On this basis, gradually develop industry and commerce, agriculture, national defense, etc., and gradually change the appearance of the entire country. Mr. Changqing also knows that Zhong Yang has already achieved great success in these aspects. With a plan, and the implementation has been quite effective, after the completion of the first phase of the plan, Zhong Yang will consider the second phase of the plan, which requires a long-term effort, maybe five years, ten years, or ten years Years, 20 years, but I believe that China's take-off is not far away!"

Then, Fang Zida explained to Yang Yongtai Zhong Yang's deep meaning for the construction of the National Defense Forces, industrial and commercial support, and the separation of local military and civil administration, and focused on talking about the Ministry of Finance's monetary policy plan and so on.

Yang Yongtai asked Fang Zida some specific questions with great interest, and Fang Zida answered them one by one without thinking, and also answered according to the situation extended from certain questions. Yang Yongtai nodded after listening, very satisfied.

"Brother Zhang Ming, do you have a solution to the conflicts between the various parties and the central yang?" The two chatted for a long time, and after getting acquainted with each other, they stopped addressing each other as Mr. and directly called them brothers and sisters.

"As I said before, politics still needs to be resolved with political methods. Violent means do not solve all problems. Of course, on the premise of solving problems politically, other means are also a kind of auxiliary, but they are mainly based on politics. It's just a supplement." Fang Zida replied with a smile.

This remark made Yang Yongtai greatly recognized. In history, Yang Yongtai was the first to put forward the viewpoint of "seven points to politics and three points to military", and was cited by Lao Jiang as his confidant.But now, he unexpectedly discovered that Fang Zida's views on this issue coincided with his own, and his favor with Fang Zida suddenly became much stronger.

With this point of view, Yang Yongtai nodded again and again, and bluntly expressed his thoughts and opinions.Fang Zida listened and analyzed in his mind that Yang Yongtai was indeed well-deserved, with unique insights on these issues and a long-term vision.The more the two chatted, the more speculative they became, and they even forgot about Yang Du who was at the side. After a long time, Yang Du, who was a little impatient, coughed a few times on purpose.

"Changqing, I will have time to discuss these matters with you in the future. Today I invite you to meet mainly for a big event."

"Hehe, I almost forgot if Xizi didn't mention it." Yang Yongtai came back to his senses and smiled, his expression froze, and asked Fang Zida: "About Liang Yansun, Xizi mentioned it to me a little bit, Zhang Brother Ming, tell me your plan first."

Fang Zida nodded, and talked about the information he had collected and his preparations. Yang Yongtai didn't speak immediately after listening quietly, but sat there and thought for a while.

"Xizi, what do you think?" After a while, Yang Yongtai asked Yang Du first.

Yang Du smiled: "I support Zhang Ming, the key is what's your opinion?"

"Brother Zhang Ming thinks I already understand, but for doing this, I'm afraid Brother Zhang Ming will be blamed in the future." Yang Yongtai sighed.

Fang Zida also sighed: "I understand this naturally. Once the matter reaches that point, it will be irreversible. Liang Yansun will be fine. The key is Yuan Yuntai. Although it is righteous to kill relatives, Yuan Yuntai is not an ordinary person after all. Once the president finds out, his condition will worsen... And that’s what worries me.”

"If it's just to keep Yuan Yuntai, maybe it's possible." Yang Yongtai smiled slightly.

Fang Zida was taken aback: "Brother Changqing, what's the trick?" To be honest, although Yuan Keding acted recklessly, Fang Zida still wanted to let Yuan Keding go, but it's not very easy to let him go. They died young, but Liang and Yuan did not give up for a day, and the world will not be peaceful for a day.In order to prevent the incident from getting worse, Fang Zida decided to control the situation at the last moment and completely knock down Liang and Yuan to ensure political stability.But in this way, Fang Zida left an impression in Yuan Shikai's heart that his relatives did not recognize him. This is not a good thing for Fang Zida, and Yuan Shikai is currently ill and in poor health. .

"If brother Zhang Ming can trust me, I will handle this matter." Yang Yongtai said with a smile, confident.

"This...." Fang Zida actually had several contingency plans and prepared a few countermeasures.He wasn't worried that Yang Yongtai didn't have this ability, but he was worried that if he didn't handle it well, it would be self-defeating. Yang Yongtai's actions disrupted his plan and made his success fall short.It can be seen that Yang Yongtai's calm and confident appearance, coupled with Yang Du's admiration and the feeling he got in touch with today, Fang Zida felt that he might be able to do it.

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Zida decided to trust Yang Yongtai, glanced at Yang Du who was at the side, and nodded in agreement with Yang Yongtai's request.

A few days later, the people arranged by Fang Zida spread the news one after another. According to the report, at a distance of [-] miles from Bao*ding, the vanguard troops of the third division and the first brigade had arrived in the Beijing-Tianjin area one after another. There have also been changes within the army. Wang Zhaoming has been uncharacteristically these days, staying in the barracks and not entering the city, and summoning several middle-level officers.At the same time in Beijing, Liang Shiyi, Yuan Keding and some people were in frequent contact, and their whereabouts were sneaky, and they were often locked in the room together without knowing what they were talking about secretly.After seeing the compiled reports, Fang Zida knew very well that a big drama was about to begin.
