Years of the Republic of China 1913

() Prime Minister's Office.

It is now night, and the women and children who have been tossing outside the door all day have finally dispersed, but seeing their posture, they will definitely come tomorrow. The dignified prime minister of a country was blocked by a group of women. This news spread to Song Dynasty Jiaoren's face was also dull.

Song Jiaoren, who had no appetite, didn't even eat dinner, and sat on the sofa alone, smoking a cigarette.When the big clock in the corner struck eight o'clock, Liao Zhongkai finally came.

"Why so late?"

"Is it too late? Don't you know at the beginning? These women still left a few eyeliners outside your door. Fortunately, I hid my eyes tightly and sneaked in when they weren't paying attention. Otherwise, Got caught by these crazy women God knows what's going to happen."

Wiping off his cold sweat, Liao Zhongkai exhaled, picked up the cold tea on the table and took a big gulp first.

"It's weird, why are these women making troubles? Brother Zhong Kai, did you find out?" As the prime minister, Song Jiaoren didn't know the strangeness of this matter. It is absolutely impossible to say that no one is behind the scenes. So he called Liao Zhongkai as soon as he learned of the situation. Compared with Song Jiaoren, Liao Zhongkai's goal was much smaller, and it was easier to check. ..

Seeing Song Jiaoren's question, Liao Zhongkai showed a helpless expression, sighed and shook his head: "Dunchu, why are you targeting Fang Zhangming? We are all comrades in the party. If there is any misunderstanding, just sit together and make it clear. He also worked with Duan Zhigui and the others to come up with a plan for reserve service, isn't this a way to attack him? It's not surprising that he has such a reaction..."

Song Jiaoren was not too surprised, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "As expected, let me tell you, these girls are all crazy and energetic, and in the end it was really him who did it behind the scenes. A joke. As the prime minister of the cabinet, I, Song, am still afraid of this? Hmph! What if I temporarily agree to the demands of these girls? Let’s see how long Fang Zhangming can support him!"

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!"

Liao Zhongkai quickly persuaded: "If we want to pass the women's suffrage proposal, we passed it when we KMT drafted the provisional law. Why wait until today? Once you openly support women's suffrage in the name of the prime minister and submit a bill to Congress, the probability of being rejected It's very big. At that time, we will be at odds at both ends, and we will be unable to please all parties, especially it will be a major blow to Brother Dun Chu's prestige."

"Then what should we do? Can't we just watch them fooling around?" Song Jiaoren put the tea cup heavily on the table, stood up and asked.

"In my opinion, we should discuss this matter with Fang Zhangming, he must have a solution." Liao Zhongkai suggested, but he was worried that Song Jiaoren would not do so.

"Dreaming!" Sure enough, Song Jiaoren immediately refused, gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, Fang Zhangming, I have to move. Not only do I have to cut down his army, but I also have to include his chief financial officer and the president of Zhongyang Bank when the opportunity arises." Take it down. This person must never be used again, if you continue to use it, our Republic of China will no longer be the Republic of China!"

"Du Chu, I don't understand. Since the early years of the Republic of China, Fang Zhangming has worked hard and done everything for the country, especially for you, the party and the country. Earlier, you still told me that Fang Zhangming was a talented person. It's rare, having him is even more powerful. But why did you change your attitude in the past month or so? Did someone tell you something? Or was someone provoking..."

With a wave of his hand, Song Jiaoren interrupted Liao Zhongkai, sighed and said, "I'm not hiding anything from you until now, to tell you the truth, at first I was indeed what you thought I was, but I only found out a few months ago Fang Zhangming exploited the power in his hands to develop his strength secretly. It is almost to the point where he can't lose his power. If he doesn't restrict his power, I'm afraid the constitutional government will die! Min Zhu will die!"

"Is it so serious? What exactly is it?" Liao Zhongkai has always stood by Song Jiaoren out of his trust in Song Jiaoren and years of friendship, but in fact he is against Song Jiaoren and Fang Zida. Thinking of Song Jiaoren making things so serious today.He couldn't help being startled.

Song Jiaoren lit up a cigarette, puffed and said, "Fang Zhangming colluded with foreign consortiums without telling us, and used Zhongyang Bank as a channel to wantonly speculate on the currencies of various countries. Many of the things he did were unknown to outsiders, if someone hadn’t told me quietly, I would still be in the dark, Zhong Kai, look at this first.”

As he spoke, Song Jiaoren stood up, went to the desk and opened the drawer, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Liao Zhongkai. Liao Zhongkai looked down suspiciously and was startled. For a while I felt dazzled.

Gather your mind and look carefully, especially after counting the digits, Liao Zhongkai opened his mouth in astonishment and couldn't close it for a long time: "This... such a large amount? Did you make a mistake?"

"Of course it can't be wrong!" Song Jiaoren sneered and took back the item from Liao Zhongkai's hand, and locked it in the drawer again: "This data is not too much, I can guarantee this. You must know that although Fang Zhangming is Zhong The president of Yang Bank, but in Zhong Yang Bank, it is not possible to cover the sky with one hand, so I naturally have other channels to confirm."

"However, even so, Fang Zhangming asked you for instructions on financial issues, and you agreed to hand over the financial affairs to him. Even if the amount is larger, it is within his purview. It cannot be said that he has Disagreement. Maybe he has other considerations, why not disclose the data?" Liao Zhongkai still has some doubts that Fang Zida would be so greedy for money. Judging from the years of exchanges between the two parties, Fang Zida is not such a person. Is there something in between? What misunderstanding?

"Hmph! Jiang Ruiyuan, who does Dai Chuanxian belong to? Aren't they all from Fang Zhangming? According to reliable sources, the two of them have amassed millions of dollars in just over two months in *Shanghai, not including *Beach The three big tycoons of China and they have joined forces to manipulate the black market. According to preliminary estimates, only Shanghai Beach has a total profit of nearly 2 million per month. If the channel from Japan is added, the amount will be even greater. Could it be that I agree with him on this? What did you do? A joke! What a joke!"

Liao Zhongkai was dumbfounded and didn't recover for a long time. This was the first time he knew these things.How much is the annual fiscal revenue of the entire Republic of China?How much money can Fang Zida and his men make in a year?This is simply shocking in comparison!No wonder Song Jiaoren was so annoyed.

"Then why don't you ask Fang Zhangming directly? Even if he instructed these things, it's better to listen to his reasons."

Song Jiaoren shook his head and said, "You think I haven't thought about this? But I found out about it not long ago, which made me completely disappointed in him."

"What's the matter?"

"Russia!"

"Russia?"

Seeing that the bewildered Liao Zhongkai didn't understand, Song Jiaoren simply hid Fang Zida from anyone and secretly hid Princess Anastasia, and used the princess's identity to single-handedly plan the establishment of the orthodox government of the Russian Empire.And in this plan, Fang Zida also mobilized some of his troops and generals in Shandong, and privately gave huge financial and material support to Princess Anastasia, relying on this force to establish the Russian Empire's orthodox government in the Far East.

After the establishment of the orthodox government of the Russian Empire, Fang Zida concealed it from the cabinet and even Cao Rulin, inducing Song Jiaoren to make a diplomatic decision to recognize the orthodox government of the Russian Empire and declare the Soviet regime illegal.Later, he also used his relationship to get Shang Zhen to the north, and privately sent troops deep into Russia for some reason.To do so is simply lawless, Fang Zida takes the credit and pride, and regards the country's money and the army as his personal property, but the prime minister, who is the supreme head of the government, doesn't know it at all.If someone hadn't quietly passed the news to Song Jiaoren, Song Jiaoren might still think that Fang Zida is the person he can trust the most.

What Song Jiaoren said was like a fairy tale, Liao Zhongkai was stunned on the spot for a long time, and he didn't relax.These are simply unbelievable. Fang Zida is not only hiding the truth from the cabinet, but even the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff. But Hui has an ambiguous attitude and puts on a neutral posture. This is the reason why he has been doing it for a long time!

At this time, Liao Zhongkai, who had always believed that Fang Zida would not betray, wavered a little.When it comes to finance, these things may be easy to solve. Let's sit down and talk about it. If it is Fang Zida's fault, he will correct his mistakes and the matter will be over. At worst, he will beat him again.But the latter matter was different. Fang Zida was too courageous. He, the chief financial officer, actually intervened in national politics, and it was a civil war in a foreign country. Making the country make a major foreign policy decision will make people wonder what Fang Zida is trying to do anyway.

Under such circumstances, Song Jiaoren's decision to move Fang Zida is also human nature.As a constitutional country, such a person who can endanger the interests of the country is absolutely not allowed to appear, let alone a cabinet member who holds national finances and a large number of military powers.Once he has ulterior motives and even lures wolves into the house, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Now Liao Zhongkai finally understands the reason why Song Jiaoren made this decision. If it were him, he would probably make the same choice as Song Jiaoren.As the implementer of China's constitutional system, Song Jiaoren will never allow the situation to develop in an unexpected direction, but Fang Zida has indeed contributed a lot to the National Team Party and even to Song Jiaoren himself. Fang Zida could even be said to be Song Jiaoren's savior regarding the matter at the Hai Railway Station.Under such circumstances, Song Jiaoren just weakened Fang Zida's military power under the pretext of carrying out reserve service, and then slowly pursued it, forcing Fang Zida to give up most of his rights and become a rich man.But who would have thought that Fang Zida would react violently at the very beginning of the incident, making Song Jiaoren, who didn't want to lose face, furious, and decided to use strong means to solve Fang Zida's problem.
