Republic of China: I am a great warlord, many children, many blessings

"Brother Shen, don't get angry, sit down and why are you arguing with him?"

"He is of such a low rank that he can only be a division commander. Brother Shen, you are a military governor, don't lower yourself."

"There is a long way to go, so don't rush. It's not appropriate to use force today."

These people's words made Cao Kun very angry. He really wanted to go up and beat a few of them up. What the hell were they talking about?

Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui and others looked at Shen Hao, all thoughtful.

Although both of them were Yuan Shikai's confidants and were also among the three heroes of the Beiyang government, their internal strife was also very fierce.

If you want to reach a higher position, you need the support of a powerful governor like Shen Hao.

There are many commanders-in-chief on the scene, but not all of them have military power.

 …  

A governor who has military power is a real governor.

A commander-in-chief without a division under his command is like a duckweed on the water or a loft in the sand, and is not tough at all.

Then, Shen Hao took a quick look and found Lu Jianzhang, Cao Kun and others. They were all enemies and must be remembered.

Kill them if you have the chance.

The entire parliament hall was in chaos.

"President Yuan is here!"

As the guard's voice fell, everyone stood up.

The noisy parliament hall suddenly became quiet.

The short Yuan Datou walked onto the podium under the protection of guards.

After sitting down, wave goodbye.

Shen Hao and others took their seats.

Yuan Datou glanced around and said, "Okay, let's start the parliament."

At this time, Jin Quan, as the general manager, stood up.

"As the current Cabinet Minister, I declare this session of the National Assembly open."

Everyone in the audience applauded.

"After experiencing the Tongmenghui rebellion, our country suffered heavy losses, and Sun, Huang and others were the culprits.

Not only did it cause immeasurable harm to the people, it also dealt a heavy blow to our congressmen. That’s why the president convened Congress again.

I would like to announce here the newly enrolled members of parliament.”

"Guangdong Governor Shen Hao, Yunnan Governor Tang Jirao, Hubei Governor Duan Zhigui, Hunan Governor Tang Xingming... and the above 120 people were added to the Congress"

“Now that the members have been filled, let’s discuss today’s important parliament.

The system of electing the president and the constitution.

Here, I propose to change the constitutional and electoral procedures of Congress.

The previous provisional constitution mentioned that Congress would first draft the constitution and then elect the president.

I think this regulation is somewhat unreasonable.

Therefore, as Cabinet Secretary, I propose to change this rule.

We first elect a formal president and then draft a constitution through an order signed by the president.

After all, the speed of a train depends entirely on the locomotive.

We have to determine the president first before we have the core.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience suddenly became noisy.

This was clearly a violation of the Provisional Constitution, and many KMT members of Congress were immediately dissatisfied.

234. Feng Guozhang gave a woman away

'If this is changed, how can the president's power be limited?'

"That is, I think the Provisional Constitution cannot be changed."

'It is necessary to draft a constitution first and then elect a president'

Some members of the Kuomintang and other parties were talking about it and the discussion was in full swing.

Shen Hao was drinking his tea by himself. Even if these people were discussing heatedly, it was meaningless.

An earthworm shakes a tree without overestimating its own capabilities.

Can't see the general trend.

Amid the noise, Jin Quan knocked on the table and said, "Silence, silence."

The whole place suddenly fell silent.

The current cabinet is organized by warlords, bureaucrats and progressive party members. Almost all of them are Yuan Shikai's people and obey his orders.

Jin Quan ignored the noisy crowd and said, "The presidential election voting begins now. Every vote in your hands is crucial. Please vote carefully."

Hearing this, everyone remained silent and no one spoke.

Jin Quan clapped his hands and the guards began to distribute ballots.

Even though the Second Revolution failed, all the members of the Tongmenghui ran away.

In the current Congress, the number of Kuomintang members in both the Senate and the House of Representatives is still as high as 438, and they still have a great say in the congressional elections.

After the ballots are sent out.

Tang Jirao and Duan Zhigui both came to Shen Hao's side, and Tang Jirao deliberately teased:

"Brother Shen, who are you voting for?"

Shen Hao said speechlessly: "What do you think?"

"Okay, hurry up and vote" "Three, six, seven" Duan Zhigui said;

After saying that, he took a brush and wrote Yuan Datou's name on the ballot.

Shen Hao didn't waste any words and took the brush to write Yuan Datou's name.

Tang Jirao and Duan Zhigui, who were standing next to him, were stunned by the rich handwriting of Shen Hao.

Unbelievable.

They didn't expect Shen Hao's handwriting to be so good.

Tang Ji said: "Brother Shen, your handwriting is full of ink.

It is full of momentum, as if a sword has been drawn from its sheath and a bow has been drawn, ready to explode, powerful and majestic.

He definitely has the skills of a master, it’s amazing.”

Duan Zhigui gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Shen, your calligraphy can make you rich. After the meeting, you must write a piece of calligraphy for me as an heirloom."

"Brother Duan, you are too polite. My handwriting is just graffiti and cannot be worthy of being published in a formal setting," Shen Hao said.

"Brother Shen, if your calligraphy is not worthy of being put on display, then what is our calligraphy? Don't be so modest," Tang Jirao said with a smile.

This is not a compliment. Shen Hao's calligraphy is really amazing and at the level of a master.

Of course, in terms of momentum, after Shen Hao became the governor, his writing momentum became even stronger.

Soon, someone came to collect the ballots.

Jin Quan began to preside over the reading of the ballots.

Everyone was looking forward to the voting results.

But when the voting results came out, everyone was shocked and a little surprised.

The only candidate, Yuan Datou, received only one-third of the votes and had no chance of being elected president.

Some people even cast more than a dozen votes for Shen Hao. It's completely random and really weird.

Yuan Datou's face turned cold, but he didn't say anything.

Jin Quan looked back at Yuan Datou and said in embarrassment: "As you can see, the number of votes in the election has not exceeded two-thirds. Let's take a break first. This election is invalid and the election will continue later."

Yuan Datou walked out of the parliament hall with a gloomy face.

The whole hall suddenly fell into chaos.

"Haha, losing the election is hilarious"

"Let's see how he can be president"

“Even if I choose ten times, the result will be the same.”

“Yes, I think so too.”

Shen Hao, Tang Jirao, Duan Zhigui, Zhang Zuolin, Tang Yulin and others did not speak. They understood that these people were just jumping clowns who could not tell the difference between the big and small kings. Even if they struggled, it would be useless as the final result would be the same.

Duan Zhigui sneered: "Are these idiots still dreaming?"

“Just wait and see”

Zhang Zuolin also sat next to Shen Hao.

"Is my little Liuzi that brat causing any trouble?"

Shen Hao said: "No, I study very hard and I am very happy in the military academy."

"Haha, that kid is a little naughty and likes to fight. I hope he can be successful."

Shen Hao said: "After a few years of training, you can be sent out to work on your own."

Then, Zhang Zuolin looked around and whispered, "Ahao, I heard that your military factory can produce more than 5 Mauser rifles and Maxim heavy machine guns a month, right?"

Shen Hao said: "That's right."

"Leave 5,000 rifles to me, Zhang, and another 50 Maxims, and I'll pay you at the market price," Zhang Zuolin said with a smile.

Shen Hao was stunned. Did Zhang Zuolin expand his army?

Shen Hao didn't lack weapons for the time being, so he nodded and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll send it to you next month."

"Haha, okay, thank you from me, Zhang."

Zhang Zuolin recruited soldiers and prepared to plan for the position of governor.

After all, he occupied the position of Fengtian capital and could not give it to others.

Deep down in his heart, Zhang Zuolin had even greater ambitions. He wanted to use Fengtian as his base and then take over the entire three northeastern provinces. Of course, this was only a story for the future.

If one wants to take over the three northeastern provinces, the first goal is to take the position of Governor of Fengtian.

Having Shen Hao's support is really crucial for Zhang Zuolin.

Taking advantage of the break time, many people came over to greet Shen Hao.

Among them, Yan Xishan, the governor of Shanxi, Zhang Xun, Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui, the governor of Jiangsu and the leaders of the pigtail army, all came.

Although Shen Hao is young, he has a very important position here.

About an hour later, Yuan Datou and Jin Quan's cabinet members came in again.

Jin Quan said without further ado: "In the last election, we didn't have enough votes, so we had to run again. I hope everyone will cherish this opportunity and think more about it."

Everyone had different expressions, some looked disdainful, some didn't care, and some were gloating and watching the fun.

Soon, the ballots were distributed again.

Many people wrote down their presidential candidates.

As a result, this election was once again full of surprises.

The only candidate, Yuan Datou, still did not get more than one-third of the votes, which made Yuan Datou look very embarrassed.

Jin Quan didn't know how to explain it.

"There are not enough votes in this election. There will be a third election next. Everyone, take a rest."

After saying that, Jin Quan also left with Yuan Datou.
