Back to the Republic of China as a commander

The wheel of history soon arrived in September of the fifth year of the Republic of China. In Nanjing, with the signing of the National Government’s Independent Tariff Agreement between China, the United States, Britain and France, the 20% increase in customs duties will be officially implemented from New Year’s Day in the sixth year of the Republic of China. This means that the customs revenue of the Nanjing National Government's fiscal revenue will change from the current [-] million Chinese yuan to [-] billion yuan, which is conservatively estimated to be around [-] billion yuan.Hu Hanmin, President of the Executive Yuan, was naturally in a good mood during this time, seeing everyone with a smiling face, instead of the tense look in the past, as if everyone owed him money.

However, the happiness brought by the huge benefits is short-lived. The national government is now more and more like a government. The political forces of various factions express their sincere gratitude to Wang Zhenyu for delegating power to them, and then, then, Wang Zhenyu, the source of power Forgot to go to the side.What everyone has to do now is to continuously expand their power and status within the framework of the national government. After all, the cake has been laid out, and how to distribute it is what everyone cares about.

The two major political factions, Zhang Taiyan and Sun Wen, first clashed. These two could not urinate in the same pot during the Qing Dynasty.

The National Socialist Party is probably the least like a political party among all political parties in China. In fact, this party should not be called a party, but should be called an alliance. Its essence is Wang Zhenyu's National Socialist Party, Sun Wen's Chinese Revolutionary Party, Huang Xing Some of the Tongmenghui represented by the non-Sun Wen faction, and the four major political factions of the Restoration Association headed by Zhang Taiyan form a seemingly compact political alliance.Compared with the famous Kuomintang-Communist cooperation in history, there is no cross-party cooperation here. All political parties have closed down, party affairs, personnel affairs and other messy things have been merged into one, and Sun Wen's Three Revolutions and the National Socialist Party have also been combined. The party's national socialism has been integrated (all other talents in the party are lacking, that is, there is no shortage of pens).After Liang Qichao went south to serve as the president of the National Government Examination Institute, this integrated doctrine was named by Liang Qichao as the National Socialism of the Chinese Nation (something with Chinese characteristics).

But in essence, the National Socialist Party is still a loose alliance. The original political party was just downgraded and turned into a faction. At the beginning, the contradictions within the party formed by these different factions were not obvious.However, as the revolutionary situation improved, contradictions began to emerge continuously.

But at this time, Huang Xing's body continued to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye.In the current party, although Huang Xing is the weakest, he is Wang Zhenyu's old superior, a veteran of the Tongmenghui, and a hero of the [-] Revolution.Coupled with his modest and honest personality, he is a character that can be accepted in all aspects.In the end, the national government was able to appear in this time and space like a flower. It can be said that Huang Xing is the key and the link.But now there is obviously a big problem with this key link in terms of physical health. The various forces in the national government that has been established for less than half a year have ushered in the first opportunity for political reshuffle.

Around the position of the National Government's No. [-] in the future, the conflicts between the parties began to gradually intensify and escalate.

The first attack was the Guangfu Society led by Zhang Taiyan. This title was proposed and widely spread by people who cared about politics at that time.Similarly, Sun Yat-sen's faction was naturally called the Tongmeng faction.So by analogy, Huang Xing's faction should be called the Huaxing Guild. Unfortunately, because of Huang Xing's special status, he was not regarded as the leader of any faction, and the people who followed him were in his favor. After death, they followed Wang Longzhong one after another, so Huang Xing naturally had no sect or affiliation.

Due to the relationship between local unification and customs autonomy, the national government became much richer than the central government, which also made the leadership of the national government corrupt immediately after price adjustment.Note that it is corruption rather than prostitution, villas, cars, and lovers soon appear in the homes of revolutionaries.It is not a big problem for these revolutionaries to enjoy all the treatment and rank, but the decline and depression of will is inevitable, and the corresponding is the cherishing of the power in their hands.

Zhang Taiyan's Guangfu Society is a relatively weak faction among many forces. This is because Tao Chengzhang, the former boss of the Guangfu Society, asked Chen Qimei to do it. Secondly, Zhang Taiyan himself is more miserable than Cai E. He was killed by old Yuan Yi in Beijing. The house arrest lasted for three or four years, and it was Lao Yuan who gave up cooking before he was able to escape.But this does not hinder anything. Zhang Taiyan's prestige in the academic circle is his greatest capital. Soon he found a group of like-minded comrades among the directors of the various ministries of the Executive Yuan of the National Government. Cen Chunxuan, Governor of Zhejiang Province Zhu Rui, Minister of Justice Tang Shaoyi, Minister of Commerce Zhang Jian, Minister of Health Cheng Dequan, Director of the National Government Examination Institute Liang Qichao, and Minister of Education Cai Yuanpei are all the backbone of the Guangfu Association.

The Guangfu Society developed very rapidly with the support of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols, while the Tongmenghui was not trusted by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols due to historical reasons, so they mainly relied on the support of the Nanyang chaebols.

Sun Wen and the others still know the reason why you have to do things if you get benefits. Hu Hanmin, President of the Executive Yuan, first set up industrial parks and agricultural parks in Guangdong, planning to invest in overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia.But this plan was quickly rejected by Cen Chunxuan, then governor of Guangdong Province, on the grounds that the land was tight and it was inconvenient to compete with the people for land.

Then it became lively. The Executive Yuan and the Guangdong Provincial Government started a wrangling drama, which later turned into mutual attacks. Hu Hanmin even proposed to remove Cen Chunxuan from the post of Governor of Guangdong Province (there was no provincial council at this time, and the provincial The president was nominated by the National Government and appointed by the National Assembly), and Cen Chunxuan, a former Qing bureaucrat, was not to be outdone, and immediately called the National Assembly to remove Hu Hanmin on the grounds of corruption, collusion with profiteers, and competition with the people.

All of a sudden, journalists in Shanghai, Nanjing, and Guangzhou found work and reported this political struggle every day.

Zhang Taiyan, the vice-chairman of the National Government and the speaker of the National Assembly, was naturally one of the planners of the whole incident. He quickly approved the proposal of Guangdong Governor Cen Chunxuan to be included in the agenda, and then manipulated members of the Liberation Council to submit a proposal based on this proposal. A case of no-confidence impeachment against Hu Hanmin, President of the Executive Yuan.All of a sudden, the political circles in South China were aroused, and Sun Wen was very dissatisfied with this. As the chairman of the National Socialist Party, he asked Zhang Taiyan and his family to stop such actions that would damage the prestige of the party, but Zhang Taiyan used the National Assembly to supervise them. The freedom of government is blocked back.

Just when Huang Xing was weak and unable to govern, and factional struggles within the national government continued to intensify.Wang Zhenyu from Wuhan is busy deploying operations in the southwest region. Regarding what happened in Nanjing, he just read the report of the Jiangnan Headquarters of the Party Affairs Investigation Department and gave no instructions.

In Wang Zhenyu's view, as long as the military is not involved in political struggles, any struggle is within a controllable range.

It is better to seize the time to unify the three southwestern provinces, otherwise, the division will continue. Giving so much money to Cao Kun and their direct line members every month is the next best thing. If Tang Jiyao integrates the Yunnan army and plunges Sichuan into a warlord melee, then his own sin will be great. up.

The Southwest issue was brought up in September. Cai E entrusted Jiang Baili to draft a telegram to the central government in Japan, requesting that the Southwest military government be abolished and the three provinces under its jurisdiction be included in the national government.Naturally, the Beiyang government will not do anything about it, but for one thing, they do not have the strength to start a war with the youth army, and the central government is not what their Beiyang family can say. After repeated persuasion by Xiong Xiling, President Li Yuanhong, Actually agreed, and also issued a related order, ordering the national government to govern Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Tibet and other southwest regions on behalf of the central government. Tibet, a hot potato between China and Britain, was thrown to the national government for disposal.In case in the future, a central government that can't handle itself well will have to bear the infamy of being a traitor, that would be depressing.Therefore, the action of bringing the Southwest region under the leadership of the Nationalist Government possessed the so-called legitimacy (Duan Qirui was so angry that his nose crooked again: Fatty Li, we Beiyang and you are endless).

Fortunately, Xiong Kewu, the boss of Sichuan in this era, has not yet entered the state of a feudal warlord. Not only that, but the Industrial Group and the Nine-member Group have temporarily united because of the issue of Sichuan's submission to the Nationalist Government.Therefore, among the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, Sichuan was the most active in bringing it under the jurisdiction of the national government.Especially Xiong Kewu, acting governor of Sichuan, whose boss Huang Xing is now in charge of the national government. When he thinks of the entire twelve provinces in the south, he doesn't think much of the governor in Sichuan.Moreover, Boss Huang said in his letter that this time he was going to transfer himself to work in Nanjing. This is the current Xiong Kewu.

But Xiong Kewu's willingness to be promoted does not mean that Tang Jiyao is willing. This man has been the emperor of the land for a long time.Now if you want to replace his Yunnan governor with a minister or deputy, he will agree, so Tang Jiyao is the most disgusted by Beijing's order among the three provinces.No, it is no longer disgusting, but opposing. Tang Jiyao immediately announced that he would not accept this order.

In contrast, Guizhou Liu Xianshi, who has not received any news so far, is obviously on the sidelines. He does not have Tang Jiyao's ambitions, and he still knows how strong Guizhou is.But he was not ready to hand over the army and territory in his hands to make a living in Nanjing for no reason, and he even had a little luck.

Since this is the situation, Yang Du sent a report to Wang Zhenyu, and let's clean up Tang Jiyao at the first time, and it will be settled once and for all.

The entire Southwest is full of storms and clouds! ! !
