Years of the Republic of China 1913

() After Yang Du left, Zhou Chen was stunned, he knew exactly what it meant. <-"

"Song Dunchu, damn it, you've hurt me!" Zhou Chen gritted his teeth and cursed after regaining his senses. If it wasn't for Song Jiaoren's bad idea, how could he have come to this point?Moreover, he has no way to ask Song Jiaoren for help in this matter. If Fang Zida finds out about his relationship with Song Jiaoren, the matter will become even worse.

So far, Zhou Chen didn't know that Fang Zida knew his secret long ago, but he just thought Fang Zida was dissatisfied with him and deliberately punished him.Now that the matter is at this point, he can only "meditate and cultivate", and only hope that Song Jiaoren can get Fang Zida out of power as soon as possible, so that he can have a chance to make a comeback.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chen never expected that Fang Zida had already started to prepare. This was a battle between dragons and tigers, and the loser would be completely knocked into the dust. Fang Zida did not dare to underestimate his opponent because he knew Song Jiaoren better than anyone else.

The second National Congress of KMT will be held in Beijing on December 1918, 12. At the end of November, representatives of party members from all provinces across the country will arrive in Beijing one after another. Fang Zida, who is in charge of organizational affairs within the party, has already made arrangements. After arriving in Beijing, both accommodation and travel are impeccable.

With so many party members gathering together, it is natural to visit and meet with each other, and many people who are good at making money even regard this meeting as an excellent opportunity to win connections and run for themselves.Every day, with factions, fellow countrymen, classmates, friends, etc. as the circle, there are constant gatherings and exchanges between each other. As the prime minister and chairman of the board, Song Jiaoren would receive dozens of invitations every day to invite him to attend. The mansion is heavily guarded, so you can't break in at will.I'm afraid Song Jiaoren's threshold has been broken through.

Fang Zida's official residence is also not idle. As Fang Zida's power increases and his status increases, his influence in the party is also growing.Among the targets of visiting Beijing, apart from Song Jiaoren, of course, there are party bigwigs like Fang Zida and Liao Zhongkai.However, Fang Zida didn't refuse everyone like other directors, except for a few people.Fang Zida always issued a closed-door order, and even moved to the Ministry of Finance to avoid harassment.

Everyone can't understand Fang Zida's behavior. Logically speaking, isn't this an excellent opportunity for the two parties to exchange feelings and win relationships?He is so arrogant, isn't he afraid of being criticized after the meeting?You must know that even Song Jiaoren took time out of his busy schedule to attend a few banquets, especially for some old alliance members, showing a look of juniors. This kind of modest approach makes people raise their eyebrows Thumb gave an admiration.

"President, here are some invitations. They are all inviting you to the banquet. I heard that Mr. Liao will also go."

Dai Jitao, who came back to the capital from Shanghai*shanghai to help prepare for the meeting, knocked on a room on the top floor of the Ministry of Finance. This is Fang Zida's office. live here.

Fang Zida, who had just washed his face, took the invitation and flipped through it, shaking his head and smiling, "These people are really good. Their noses are sharper than dogs. Fortunately, they sent the invitation here."

Dai Jitao said with a smile: "That's right. Our party is now in full swing. In addition to Premier Song, the president and Mr. Liao, among the cabinet members, Cai Heqing and others account for almost half of them. In the two houses of Congress, our party also They are in the majority. The representatives of the party members who came to Beijing all understand that if they take this opportunity to become friends with you, wouldn’t they be able to make a fortune in the future? They would be fools if they missed it.”

"Yes." Fang Zida nodded, China is like this, whether it is shopping malls or officialdom.The word friendship is indispensable.Different from western politics, these are the most important things in Chinese people’s life. It’s good to say that you don’t shy away from relatives, and it’s bad to say that you have nepotism. Even kmt, which claims to hold high the banner of constitutionalism and most respects Western politics, is the same.

"President, what do you think...?" Dai Jitao couldn't help asking seeing that Fang Zida was holding the invitation card in his hand and was delaying making a decision.

Throwing the invitation on the table, Fang Zida shook his head and said, "I won't go, Chuanxian, please say sorry to these people for me."

"President, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Dai Jitao hesitated for a while, and persuaded: "I understand the intention of the president, but it is normal for people to communicate. If the other party misunderstands, is it not good for the president? In my opinion, I should choose a Two people who are more worthy of seeing go to show their faces, so that they won't offend anyone."

"Hehe, don't you offend people if you don't eat? Chuanxian, Chuanxian, you look down on them too much." Fang Zida laughed, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I know it well, if I don't eat this meal, I will compare myself to it." Even better, there are some things you don't understand!"

Seeing that Fang Zida said so, Dai Jitao had no choice but to leave. Before leaving, he thought about why Fang Zida did this. It stands to reason that Fang Zida is not a stupid person, but such a decision really made him unable to understand.After thinking about it, he gave a wry smile without words, and could only shake his head and leave.

When the news spread that Fang Zida refused to go to the banquet many times in a row, some people in the party said that he was honest and upright, even more people said that he was pretending, and some people secretly laughed at Fang Zida for fame and so on. Hearing this news, Song Jiaoren couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking that Fang Zida had overcorrected and lost his head.But that's good too, Fang Zida is not afraid of offending people, so Song Jiaoren will have a chance to kick Fang Zida out of the board of directors at this national meeting to propose re-election of the board of directors.

Is Fang Zida really so stupid?The answer is of course no.

Fang Zida naturally had his reasons for doing this. Long before the meeting, Fang Zida had secretly connected a large number of directors, councilors, and party representatives.What's more, some of them belonged to Fang Zida's faction. As the leader of the faction, he didn't worry that the people below would turn against him. You must know that they were in the same boat. son over?

As for some people who cannot be won over, or those who cannot be determined, it will not be harmful for Fang Zida to keep a respectful distance.His layout needs to be kept extremely secret, once the news leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.Moreover, he moved out of the official residence to live in the Ministry of Finance just as a deliberate gesture, mainly to paralyze Song Jiaoren.Moreover, even Dai Jitao didn't know that several of the invitations sent were actually arranged by Fang Zida, and even Fang Zida's party jokes about Fang Zida's fame and reputation were deliberately released by Fang Zida.

It seemed that all this was just as Fang Zida expected, and soon he got news about Song Jiaoren from another channel.According to the news that came, while Fang Zida refused to go to the banquet many times to gain fame, Song Jiaoren instead frequently attended the banquet and met with many party representatives.Some councilors, alternate councilors, and representatives of various provinces even held private meetings, and they also proposed the idea of ​​re-election of the council through this national congress.

What Song Jiaoren did was exactly what Fang Zida thought. He never expected that some of the people he met in private were Fang Zida's people.These people have already had a tacit understanding. When Song Jiaoren proposed this idea, they immediately praised it, and patted their chests to promise in front of Song Jiaoren. benevolent action.

Song Jiaoren presided over the meeting as the chairman of the board. The entire meeting is scheduled to last for ten days, from December 12th to December 10th.Song Jiaoren will give an opening speech at the opening ceremony on the first day, and then Song Jiaoren will make a work report to all party members on behalf of the council. After Song Jiaoren's work report is over, Fang Zida will make an organizational and financial report, followed by Speeches by other directors and some party members.



The opening ceremony ended on the first day, and the general meeting entered into routine procedures on the second day.The meeting will discuss the development of kmt in various places and the improvement of kmt's organizational charter in light of the international situation. After that, there will be proposals such as using kmt's political power to continue to promote national constitutionalism, improve national laws, and realize social democracy.These were carried out step by step, until the fifth day of the meeting, several councilors and representatives of the provinces suddenly proposed that in view of the backward organizational structure of kmt, the current council should be re-elected. It is even suggested to abolish the council, which was originally established temporarily. In kmt, a central executive committee should be established, and on this basis, a central standing committee to replace the council should be established, and the councilors should be changed to members of the central committee, so as to complete the overall adjustment of kmt's organizational structure .

In this proposal, the members of the Central Committee will be composed of 71 members. The original council members will be 9 directors, 30 senators, 10 alternate senators, and 7 honorary senators. election.Subsequently, 19 members were elected as members of the Central Standing Committee, referred to as the Central Standing Committee, and 7 members of the Central Executive Committee were elected, referred to as the Central Executive Committee.On the basis of the Central Standing Committee and the Central Executive Committee, elect a chairman of the Central Standing Committee (replacing the chairman), three vice-chairmen (equivalent to directors), and a secretary-general, deputy secretary-general, executive director, and deputy executive director Assist the chairman to promote various party affairs to replace the original post of party secretary...
