Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Wang Zhenyu looked at the surprised expressions of Sun and Huang and showed a satisfied smile, which was all in his imagination.

"I won't play tricks in front of the two seniors. In fact, the so-called politics itself is the process of power distribution. This is like dividing the cake. As long as we can distribute the cake reasonably, then everyone will have no opinion. Even if there is, it will be in the future As for the matter of merging the party, the status of some comrades will be promoted and the status of some comrades will be degraded. Opinions can also be reduced to formlessness.”

Sun Yat-sen nodded in approval: "Brother Wenzheng is right, but this matter involves too much and too much, and there are too many places to communicate. If we talk about one by one, I don't know when we will talk about it." ?”

Wang Zhenyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is simple. Why don't we set up three negotiation teams and start negotiations at the same time. We all work hard together. I believe that a lot of work can be completed before May."

Seeing that Sun Wen and Huang Xing were still full of doubts, Wang Zhenyu patiently explained: "We can set up a military group, a party affairs group, and an economic planning group to start negotiations on all matters related to the future regional government, so as to avoid entanglement. Both sides of the plan You can bring it up, everyone discusses it.”

Sun Wen raised his concerns: "What if the discussion fails?"

Wang Zhenyu said: "Of course we can't expect to rely on three groups. My opinion is to set up a national government preparatory committee, with Huang Xing as the chairman of the committee, Mr. Sun Wen and I as the vice-chairmen, and two people from each party. , plus two social celebrities, a total of nine people. If there is something that cannot be discussed, the nine people will vote on it, okay?"

Sun Wen was very surprised. This Wang Zhenyu was really sincere. I originally thought that he would rely on the number of provinces or troops in his hands and propose to determine the number of people based on territory and troops?In this way, at least it seems fair, and if it is done properly, Wang Zhenyu will even suffer.

And Wang Zhenyu is not worried about Sun Wen's small tricks at all, because both the Youth Army and the National Socialist Party are firmly under his control. The most important thing is the China Development Corporation. Become China's largest chaebol.

The boss at the top has settled the deal, and it's time for the younger brothers to come out and do things.

According to Wang Zhenyu's vision, the establishment of the entire national government is divided into two parts. The first step is to merge and form the ruling party in Shanghai, determine the political program, organizational structure, and discuss everything that needs to be discussed.Then there is the second step, everyone moves from Shanghai to Nanjing or Wuhan, and holds a national assembly in Nanjing or Wuhan.

Then the first step in Shanghai is impossible not to attract the attention of all parties. The first division of the Youth Army stationed in Shanghai shoulders all the security work. Wang Zhenyu also appointed Tao Zhiyue in the name of the Supreme Command of the National Socialist Party. He is the commander of Shanghai Weixu District.In order to enhance the transparency of this negotiation and avoid confusion, Wang Zhenyu also made a special arrangement, imitating the press conference system of later generations.After the daily meeting, a press conference was held to report the latest proposals and the progress of the meeting, so as to set the record straight. This method created a precedent in Chinese politics.Huang Yuansheng, known as China's No. [-] reporter, was selected as the spokesperson for this negotiation. As for Shao Piaoping, he has little interest in public office, and he prefers to inspire words and give advice.

As for the merger plan, Wang Zhenyu also came up with very practical things, which Sun Wen and the others couldn't match.

In terms of political system, Wang Zhenyu proposed the template of separation of powers and integration of military and government.Specifically, the future National Government is strictly an executive body for the National Assembly’s decision-making involving civil affairs. It does not have an army itself, and the army belongs to a military committee independent of the National Government.Establishment of the Supreme Court, which is also independent of the government.

The National Government, the National Military Commission, and the National Supreme Court are responsible to the National Assembly at the same time.

The National Assembly represents the common interests of 8000 million people in the nine southern provinces. According to Wang Zhenyu's ideas, the National Assembly representatives are elected according to the proportion of the region and population. Among them, there are 108 regional representatives (12 for each province) and 180 population representatives (for every 100 people). In addition, there are 1 representatives from all walks of life (recommended by various industries), 42 independent representatives of social celebrities, a total of 30 people, and a total of 360 people including the speaker.The tenure of representatives or members of the National Assembly is four years. They will form 361 working committees such as finance and foreign affairs, which will be responsible for guiding and supervising the daily work of the national government.

The national government is different from the central government, its nature is a local government, so there is no prime minister.

The chairman of the national government is the first person in charge of the national government, with one full-time vice-chairman and two non-full-time vice-chairmen.Under it are the Government Administration Council, the Supervisory Council, and the Examination Council.However, the administrative departments are basically in the Government Affairs Council, and the latter two courts are the supervisory departments.

It is worth mentioning that, unlike the Beijing government, the Nationalist government did not have an independent Ministry of the Army and the Ministry of the Navy.

These departments are assigned to the National Military Committee, the highest officer of the National Military Committee is the chairman, and a standing committee (nine members) is established to be responsible for all military affairs within the jurisdiction of the national government, and the committee elects members of the standing committee every five years (in theory superior).There are nine members of the Standing Committee, ranging from 18 to 27 members, and alternate members if more than one member.

The General Staff Department under the Military Commission is responsible for the specific implementation of military affairs, including the Ministry of the Navy, the Ministry of Armaments, the National Armed Forces Mobilization Department, the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Military Justice Department.

The change of the organizational system above the regiment and the appointment and removal of officers are directly managed by the Military Commission. All officers are strictly prohibited from being promoted and appointed by themselves. The junior officers of the army must be dispatched after being trained by the military academy. Officers above the battalion are transferred every three years.Recruits, weapons and ammunition, and military supplies and salaries are all managed and distributed by the General Staff. . .

According to this plan, the final result is that Wang Zhenyu has a firm grasp of everything through the army. On the other hand, if it is not Wang Zhenyu, others will not want to do anything through the army.

As soon as the plan came out, there were great disputes within both the Revolutionary Party and the National Socialist Party.

Within the Wang Zhenyu Group, voices of opposition emerged first, because judging from the current situation, the National Socialist Party is clearly in the upper hand, and the idea that it is not better to talk about it directly is very popular in the party.

And the first ones who jumped out to oppose it were naturally Wang Zhenyu's trusted generals. They didn't understand why the merger was necessary, and how to defend their fruits of victory after the merger.Wang Zhenyu understood this very well. After all, everyone fought with their heads tied to their waistbands for four months, and finally seized territory in six or seven provinces. Now they have to merge and share with others, and it would be uncomfortable for anyone.

Wang Zhenyu was not worried either. After the meeting on the first day, he invited Xu Yuanquan and other seven senior generals to drink tea alone in Du Mansion.

"Harmony will benefit both, and division will lose both. Everyone here has followed me all the way from Yudaimen. Over the years, think about it for yourself, have I ever let everyone suffer?"

Xu Yuanquan and the others thought about it, and shook their heads to say no.

Wang Zhenyu said with a smile: "At this time, everyone should unite under my command and help me work hard to realize the unification of the nine southern provinces. Please believe that this time, we will not suffer a loss either."

In the Chinese Revolutionary Party, voices of doubt also existed. Wang Jingwei, who had just returned from France, even publicly claimed that this was seeking skin from a tiger, and the final result was that the party was swallowed up.Hu Hanmin also recognized Wang Jingwei's views very much. He even wanted to join forces with Zhang Jingjiang, Liao Zhongkai and others to persuade Sun Yat-sen again.But Zhang Jingjiang is already busy looking at Wang Zhenyu's case put forward by the National Socialist Party. He thinks it is very good and he can give it a try, so he doesn't get involved in Hu Hanmin's bad things at all.Liao Zhongkai only followed Sun Yat-sen's lead in major and minor matters, and naturally it was impossible to listen to Hu Hanmin.

And Chen Jiongming also supported the merger. He even said to Hu Hanmin: "If we follow this plan, it will be tantamount to inter-provincial self-government. We are equivalent to embarking on the path of the United States. What's wrong, why should we oppose it? , don’t you, Hu Zhantang, still cling to the power in your hands?”

Hu Hanmin was so angry: "You, Chen Jingcun, are out of your mind. If we follow this plan, our party and army will be handed over. There is no army. What if he, Wang Zhenyu, is the second Yuan Shikai? What shall we do against him? Is there an agreement? "

Chen Jiongming shook his head indifferently and said: "Then now we can deal with Wang Zhenyu's 30 tiger and wolf army with our [-] troops who can't even chew on Li Houji? The purpose of the negotiation is to avoid bloodshed, but you Hu Zhantang You are still thinking about bloodshed. No wonder this matter is difficult to handle, you know the little profit in front of you, don’t think about our country!"

Since the Revolution of [-], Chen Jiongming and Hu Hanmin have disliked each other because of their position as the governor of Guangdong, so naturally they can say whatever they want to irritate people.Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Xu Chongzhi, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly came out to persuade him: "I said that my brother should stop the quarrel before we start talking."

Chen Jiongming was still very polite to Xu Chongzhi, so he snorted and stopped talking.Xu Chongzhi said to Hu Hanmin: "Zhantang, it's not unreasonable to compete for survival, you don't know the real situation in the army, don't look at the 10 army we claim, it's different from the youth army. They are real, there is one soldier for every soldier, we have at least 10,000 to [-] vacancies for [-] people. And in terms of combat effectiveness, it is the [-] people of the Cantonese Army who are competing with the Xiaru (Li Liejun) Jiangxi Army. Thousands of people can fight, and the youth army just wiped out [-]+ Beiyang army's tiger and wolf division. Let alone us, who is not in awe of three points now. The most important thing is that the gang of Ningbo businessmen are unreliable. Let's enter What I said in Zhejiang was good, but now outside of Hangzhou, I can’t pay the military salary and I can’t see them anymore. We have no money and no equipment, so what do we have to fight against Wang Zhenyu?”

When Hu Hanmin heard this, he looked up to the sky and sighed, "Why did we get to the same step as the [-] Revolution? It would be great if Yingshi was still alive."
