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

Many members of the House of Representatives expressed sarcasm, saying that the result would be the same even if the election was held a hundred times.

During the break, several people wanted to go out but were stopped by the guards.

"No one can go out without the president's order"

“Why don’t you let us out?”

"That's right, get out of the way. Who are you to dare to stop us?"

"The president said that no one is allowed to leave until the election is over."

After saying this, the guard raised his gun and cocked the bolt.

Many people looked at each other, and some of them were hesitant to go forward.

They then realized that Yuan Datou did not give them real democracy, but forced them to have interest.

At this time, Lu Jianzhang, Yuan Shikai's direct subordinate, the commander of the guard army and director of the Beijing Military and Political Law Enforcement Department, stood at the door with an expressionless face.

If we don't elect our favorite president today, no one will be allowed to leave this door. If you leave without permission, don't blame me for military punishment.

The meaning is very clear. If you don't elect Yuan Datou as president today, none of you will be able to leave.

As Yuan Datou's lackey, Lu Jianzhang did a lot of dirty work for Yuan Datou and had a lot of blood on his hands, so he was known as Lu the Butcher.

The reputation is very bad.

The people who were clamoring before suddenly shut up.

Next, amid the intimidation of the guards, after 14 hours and three votes, the first president Yuan Datou was finally elected with a 3/2 majority.

The moment they went out, many people felt that this was a new life.

After being elected president, Yuan Datou was still very happy.

However, I am still very angry about the KMT legislators who did not cooperate in this election.

The next day, the meeting continued.

Subsequently, the Constitution Drafting Committee drafted the "Draft Constitution".

It stipulates that the president is subject to the constraints of Congress and the cabinet, serves a five-year term, and can be re-elected once.

Although Congress had elected Yuan Shikai as the official president, it also enacted a constitution to restrict the president's power, making Yuan Shikai feel that the cost of maintaining this sign of democracy was too high.

This result still made him very dissatisfied.

So, seven days later, Yuan Datou convened a political meeting and went crazy.

Yuan Datou said sternly: “The Constitution Drafting Committee looks like democracy, but in fact it is based on the principle of separation of powers, which has no effect on our development.

Especially the Kuomintang members.

But he only knows how to create chaos to facilitate his own selfish interests, and has long since ignored the danger of the country and the suffering of the people. He has caused chaos in the country and harmed the people, which is the worst!

The last rebellion in Hukou led by traitors led by Li Liejun is the best evidence.

This situation must be dealt with severely.”

The governors in the audience responded one after another.

"Support, the President's decision"

Yuan Datou was very satisfied and said: "For the sake of national stability, I declare that the Kuomintang will be dissolved from now on.

Revoke the KMT member's qualifications and confiscate his member's certificate and badge. "

After Yuan Datou made the announcement that afternoon, from 4 a.m. to the next morning, a total of 435 members of the Senate and House of Representatives had their credentials confiscated.

Even those who had left the party before the Hukou Uprising were not spared.

As a result, both the House of Representatives and the Senate were unable to hold meetings due to insufficient legal quorum.

This resulted in the so-called Congress becoming completely meaningless.

It can be said that after this incident, Yuan Datou’s power reached its peak.

No one can trouble him anymore.

The plaque of democracy is no longer cared about.

During this period, Shen Hao also asked about Cao Yuanzheng. Duan Zhigui and others asked Shen Hao not to interfere. Cao Yuanzheng implicated Yuan Datou because he said the wrong thing about Song Jiaoren.

For this matter, Yuan Datou has sentenced Cao Yuanzheng to death.

After hearing 2.3's words, Shen Hao said nothing more.

At the same time, Bai Lang's rebel army grew stronger and stronger, which shocked Yuan Shikai greatly.

Thus, the first appointment of a formal president was issued.

The order to encircle and suppress the Bai Lang uprising army.

The curtain for the four-province joint suppression campaign began to rise.

Lu Jianzhang, who performed outstandingly at this congress, was also commended by Yuan Datou.

Lu Jianzhang's troops were reorganized into the 7th Army Division, with Lu Jianzhang serving as the division commander and supervisor of the western route's "bandit suppression" campaign.

He led his troops from Tongguan into Shaanxi to suppress the Bai Lang uprising.

The Beiyang Group obtained support from several provinces and mobilized more than 200,000 Beiyang troops to encircle and annihilate the enemy. A large number of Beiyang veterans, including Duan Qirui, Lu Jianzhang and Wang Zhanyuan, went into battle.

It was a huge move. Shen Hao originally planned to return to Guangdong and send someone to put some eye drops on Lu Jianzhang.

Since you're going to fight Bai Lang, I'll create some trouble for you.

Damn, I can’t let this guy get comfortable.

Unexpectedly, Feng Guozhang, the governor of Zhili, found Shen Hao.

Want to cooperate with Shen Hao.

This made Shen Hao a little confused, because he had never had any dealings with Feng Guozhang.

However, since the other party has come, Shen Hao can't just block him outside the door.

Feng Guozhang smiled and said, "I have wanted to explain to Governor Shen for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet him. This time, we must have a good chat."

Shen Hao looked at the woman brought by Feng Guozhang, and his mouth twitched. Damn, are gifts so direct now? A woman is given directly.

235、What a good trick

The woman next to Feng Guozhang had her hair cut short, just covering her ears.

Judging from his appearance, he is about 27 or 8 years old.

She has fair skin and a calm, intellectual and elegant temperament.

Wearing a grey suit, he looks smart and capable.

But this dress is very strange and obviously out of place for women of this era.

If you wear an OL skirt and put on lipstick, you will definitely be a queen.

Before Shen Hao could speak, the woman took the initiative to step forward and shake his hand and said, "Hello, Governor Shen. I am Lu Bicheng, the government secretary and counselor of the President."

Shen Hao was stunned. Isn’t Lu Bicheng the woman that Yuan Kewen liked?

I chased for a long time but couldn't catch it.

Shen Hao had some understanding of Lv Bicheng, a leftover woman in the Republic of China who never married in her life.

The first of the four talented women.

He wrote "Man Jiang Hong: Dark China".

In today's terms, it was typical feminism.

However, this feminism and the fairies in later generations are two different concepts. The former is for women, and the latter is for oneself.

She has a dignified and elegant appearance, not as delicate and beautiful as Bai Xiuzhu and Yuan Fuzhen.

But she is also a very attractive woman.

Although Shen Hao didn't understand why the other party was looking for him, he still shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Secretary Lu, your poems are definitely the best among women's poems in the past three hundred years."

Lu Bicheng shook his head and said, "General Shen is too polite. I was just whining without any reason. It has no value at all. It only adds a little fame. It has no warning effect at all. It is nothing."

Then Shen Hao asked someone to serve tea.

After learning more about the situation, Shen Hao also realized that the two people came together by chance and were not brought by Feng Guozhang.

"Captain Feng, why are you here this time?"

Feng Guozhang said: "I want to cooperate with Governor Shen to discuss something."

Shen Hao asked puzzledly: "What are we cooperating on?"

Feng Guozhang said: "I want to drive Zhang Xun out of Nanjing"

"Isn't this very simple? Just send troops to fight. Zhang Xun's pigtail army is only so powerful," Shen Hao said.

"Governor Shen, you don't know that we can't use guns in this matter. I am a Beiyang elder who is a direct descendant of the President, and Zhang Xun is not.

Once I take action against Zhang Xun, it will cause dissatisfaction and vigilance among the governors of other provinces.

They will think that President Yuan is going to take action against them."

Hearing this, Shen Hao nodded.

If Zhang Xun was attacked without reason, other warlords would certainly become wary.

If you can defeat Zhang Xun today, you can definitely defeat me tomorrow.

At that time, warlords like Zhang Zuolin, Feng Delin, and Tang Jirao who have their own troops and are self-reliant will definitely rebel.

By then, Yuan Datou's position will definitely be unstable again.

Although Yuan Shikai's regime has been consolidated and stabilized for the time being, the warlords in each province are still independent and even within Yuan Shikai's Beiyang faction, there is intrigue and conspiracy.

We are like an alliance, and whoever takes action first will become the target of public criticism.

"Governor Feng, why did you suddenly think of driving Zhang Xun out of Nanjing?" Shen Hao asked;

"Governor Shen, you don't know that when Huang Xing caused trouble in Nanjing, I was the one who attacked it. President Yuan even promised me that as long as I captured Nanjing, I would be the governor of Jiangsu.

But I didn't expect that Zhang Xun, that bastard, would get the advantage. It's also my fault. I was a little too arrogant at the time and it was caused by the bet with Zhang Xu.

Here’s what happened.”

In July of the second year of the Republic of China (1913), the "Second Revolution" broke out and Li Liejun's Hukou Uprising fired the first shot.

On the 15th, Huang Xing announced his campaign against Yuan Shikai in Nanjing.

On the 23rd, Feng Guozhang was appointed as the Jianghuai Xuanfu Envoy and led his troops south along the Jinpu Road. He soon captured Suxian, Bengbu and Chuxian, and reached Pukou on August 8th.

On the 16th, his son-in-law, Chen Zhiji, the commander of the Nanjing Eighth Division who participated in the anti-Yuan struggle, led a small number of guards to secretly cross the river and surrender to his father-in-law Feng Guozhang.

Chen Zhiji gave Feng Guozhang a detailed report on the chaotic situation in Nanjing where there was no leader and its defense layout.

Feng Guozhang was delighted. He then joined forces with Zhang Xun's pigtail soldiers and Liu Guanxiong's navy to deploy a joint combat plan to capture Nanjing.

He Haiming of Nanjing led the anti-Yuan army and fought with Feng Guozhang's Beiyang Army for more than half a month, until they ran out of ammunition and food.

On September 9, Feng Guozhang commanded the Beiyang Army to blow up the city wall and enter Nanjing.

After entering the city, the Beiyang Army was like wild beasts, burning, killing, raping and looting at will. Countless Nanjing merchants and civilians lost their homes and families. Many women were raped and then committed suicide by jumping into the Qinhuai River. Their crimes were no less evil than those committed by the Japanese devils.

Zhang Xun's queue army committed the worst atrocities.

Feng Guozhang was awarded the first-class Wenhu Medal by Yuan for his "merit" in capturing Nanjing.

With the fall of Nanjing, the "Second Revolution" was declared a failure.

Yuan Shikai was well aware that Nanjing's strategic position was crucial to his control of the south, so he had planned to appoint his trusted general Feng Guozhang as the governor of Jiangsu after conquering Nanjing.

However, things didn't go as planned, because on the eve of the capture of Nanjing, Feng Guozhang agreed to Zhang Xun's agreement that "whoever enters the city first will be the governor." This madman Zhang Xun was willing to suffer heavy casualties among his queue troops in order to be the first to attack Nanjing.

Feng Guozhang, who suffered a loss, had to keep his promise and recommend Zhang Xun as the governor of Jiangsu.

In the end, Feng Guozhang had no choice but to succeed as the Governor of Zhili.

"It was originally agreed that Zhang Xun's pigtail army had only three days to burn and kill people in Nanjing. Unexpectedly, after the three-day deadline, his men have gone crazy and are still going crazy. These guys are really endless."

After listening to Feng Guozhang's narration of the whole story, Shen Hao could only sigh that the city of Nanjing was truly plagued by disasters.
