Chapter 211 Cabinet Candidate

Zhao Dongyun's "responsible cabinet prime minister system" plunged the conversation into silence, and the four people present were not stupid. Although they may not know what the republic is a month ago, since they raised the republican flag, many low-ranking staff are willing to It must have explained various republican systems to them in detail.

So when listening to Zhao Dongyun's 'responsible cabinet prime minister system', I immediately understood that this system may be irrelevant to the republic, because in essence, the presidential system and the prime minister system are actually not much different for the republic of China, but for the people present, the difference between the two is big.

Duan Qirui looked at Wang Yingkai at this time. Looking at Zhao Dongyun, his heart also turned to many thoughts. After a moment of silence, he said, "Ziyang's proposal is still more feasible!"

After saying this, he shut up, because as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yingkai opposite him cast almost a sword-like look. If his eyes could kill people, it is estimated that Wang Yingkai would have killed Duan Qirui for thousands of times.

However, at this time, Wang Shizhen also opened his mouth and only heard him say slowly: "The prime minister's cabinet system certainly has many benefits, but now the situation is tense. It is precisely when it is necessary to let outsiders know that I am committed in Beiyang. I think it is better to follow the presidential system!"

The opinions of the four people present are divided into two types, and two people are against two people!

At this time, Wang Yingkai's face has calmed down again: "This prime minister system is not impossible, but Dongyun, your troops must withdraw from Ji County and Baodi!"

Zhao Dongyun did not hesitate much about this and immediately said, "Yes!"

Now the troops of the Beiyang generals are all in Ji County and Baodi, and if Zhao Dongyun's troops do not retreat from these places, Wang Yingkai will not dare to withdraw their troops and then be transferred to the south to fight.

If Zhao Dongyun agrees to this problem, although the practical significance is not too big, it can also show that Zhao Dongyun may continue to withdraw from the customs.

Wang Yingkai was a little surprised to see that Zhao Dongyun agreed to this crucial issue and still agreed so quickly, but now he is not in the mood to consider Zhao Dongyun's promise for peace meeting so quickly, but continued: "After the establishment of the cabinet, the chief of the army is Zhiquan. Come and do it!"

"As for hiring you, come and be the deputy commander of the Army!"

These arrangements actually don't make much sense. Basically, they are arranged according to the existing status and strength of the people. In principle, the status quo remains unchanged!

As for the cabinet prime minister, although it is impossible for all four people present to sit in person, they also hope that people in their own factions or people who are close to them can do it. However, on the other hand, the other three people are preventing others from playing this hand, so when Zhao Dongyun just proposed Zhou Xuexi to be the prime minister , it was rejected by Wang Yingkai, Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen.

However, Zhao Dongyun did not give in at all. Wang Yingkai just proposed to let Xu Shichang be the prime minister of the cabinet. Zhao Dongyun coughed softly: "Although Xu Ju is a little talented, she still lacks the experience of the leading party. However, the situation is tense now, and the candidate for the prime minister must be a person with rich political experience! "

Although Xu Shichang is the first civilian in the contemporary Beiyang system, he has a very obvious shortcoming, that is, he was born as a staff member of Yuan Shikai. This does not mean that being Yuan Shikai's staff is not good, but that he has been Yuan Shikai's staff before, and then Under the strong promotion of Yuan Shikai, he stepped into the Military Machinery Office and served as a minister and other important positions.

That is to say, Xu Shichang does not have the political experience and qualifications of the leading party, and the prime minister will be responsible for national administrative affairs in the future. Naturally, it is not good for a person with little experience.

Of course, the reason why Zhao Dongyun opposed him was that Xu Shichang, like other Yuan Shikai's staff, defected to Wang Yingkai. There is no difference between Xu Shichang becoming the prime minister and Wang Yingkai becoming the prime minister.

"Oh, since the two of them can't do it, what do you think of Lu Chuanlin?" Duan Qirui also proposed such a person's choice. To be honest, he didn't have much selfishness to propose this person.

Because Duan Qirui and Wang Yingkai and Zhao Dongyun are different from Wang Yingkai and Zhao Dongyun, they have more or less several civil officials. Even if there are no civil servants under their command, there are a few people who have a good relationship with them, but Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen are much inferior. There are many officers under their command, but There are really few words from civil servants.

If those contemporary civil servants choose to turn to Beiyang, the first choice is Wang Yingkai, the prestige boss, while some people choose to turn to Zhao Dongyun, the military power boss. Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen are sandwiched in the middle. Maybe there will be several middle and low-level officials to serve, but those famous ministers are It is unlikely to vote for them.

Anyway, Duan Qirui and Wang Shizhen can't launch their own people, so they simply launch a Lu Chuanlin who has little to do with the people here.

Lu Chuanlin, let's early resume not be mentioned. Duan Qirui can mention him because he is the top three military aircraft ministers in contemporary politics at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and more importantly, he was recommended by Ronglu in those years, and who was Yuan Shikai's political benefactor? That's not Li Hongzhang, but Ronglu. That is to say, in fact, Yuan Shikai and Lu Chuanlin were together under Ronglu in those years, which was half a colleague.

After the year of Gengzi, Lu Chuanlin has also been giving strong support to Yuan Shikai in the center and Yiqi, and he is Yuan Shikai's close ally in the center!

However, in the reform of the new official system in the first half of this year, the faction of Yi Qian and Yuan Shikai was defeated. Not only was Yuan Shikai's direct staff Xu Shichang dismissed, but also Lu Chuanlin, Yuan Shikai's political ally, was dismissed.

From his resume in the past five or six years, it is easy to see that this person is actually a civil official in the Beiyang system, but unlike others, he is not a subordinate of Yuan Shikai, but an ally of Yuan Shikai!

It is enough for such a person to serve as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet!

After hearing the name Lu Chuanlin, Zhao Dongyun's mind changed very quickly. He suspected that there would be a political deal behind Duan Qirui's proposal today, but he also believed that Lu Chuanlin, who had been in politics for a lifetime, would never choose to join Duan Qirui. The reason was very simple. Duan Qirui did not have that qualification!

If it's just a political deal, then Zhao Dongyun is confident that he can definitely take out more than Duan Qirui. Who can win over him later?

And the most important thing is that this person has nothing to do with Wang Yingkai, which is very important!

Now Zhao Dongyun is anti-theft and anti-British Kai. As long as Wang Yingkai is not allowed to control the real power of the center, the rest can give back one or two, and it doesn't matter if Duan Qirui can eat some sweetness.

Immediately, he nodded: "The prestige and qualifications of the old man are enough. If he can work hard to control the center, then I can rest assured!"

This is to agree with Duan Qirui's suggestion, and Wang Shizhen, who was beside him, looked left and right. After a moment, he also said, "It's natural to move!"

Although Wang Yingkai wanted to object, he saw that the other three had expressed their support. If he didn't want to make trouble at this meeting and isolate himself, he had to say, "I think it's okay!"

As a result, the cabinet prime minister's personnel, which caused many disputes, were finally settled, and then there were some detailed systems of the republican government. There was nothing to say, and the people didn't care much about it. They took the suggestions provided by their staff and discussed it casually.

And there is not much controversy in the subsequent selection of the chiefs of the cabinet departments, because Beiyang itself is an administrative system, in which there are various types of civil servants, such as the position of chief of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. There is no one else to sit on except Zhou Xuexi, and the position of chief of the patrol department can only Let Zhao Bingjun sit down!

And the chief of the army department is naturally given to Duan Qirui. The position of the chief of the army department is actually a false name. It is impossible for Duan Qirui to command other people's troops if he become the chief of the army department.

The establishment of a republican government may be a major event for outsiders, a thing that can affect the future generations for a hundred years, but in the eyes of the four people present, the significance of establishing a republican government is not to lay a republic or something, but to put a Beiyang sign on the heads of the people. People have reached a layer of clothing for a military alliance.

So although these things of the government are also important, they actually have little to do with the actual interests of all people. After all, no matter who has become the president or the prime minister, can this republican government reach out to Zhao Dongyun's three eastern provinces?

Impossible!

If the 'Chinese Federal Empire' in the south is the federal system of the southern provinces, and the provinces still maintain the semi-independent model with the former Qing Dynasty, then the Chinese Republic made by Zhao Dongyun and others in the north is actually a complete military alliance government.

So although the republican government has a lot of competition, it does not pay much attention to it. It still pays attention to the division of territory!

"Brother Ziyang, when will your troops return to the three eastern provinces?" Wang Yingkai asked this.

However, Zhao Dongyun frowned after hearing this: "Brother Shaochen still wants Tangshan?"

Wang Yingkai smiled and said, "Brothers are not outsiders, so there is no need to cover up everyone's words next!" If Ziyang's No. 45 man is still in Tangshan, how can you reassure your brothers?

Zhao Dongyun's face suddenly turned cold. From his entry in October to now, his army has been killed and injured by more than a thousand. This military expenditure has cost millions of yuan. What is the booty obtained?

Some people may say that they created a republic and drove Manqing out of power, but to be honest, these are none of his business!

So far, the territory east of Tangshan occupied by Zhao Dongyun is the biggest gain since he entered the customs, and the rest are floating clouds!

And now, they actually want Zhao Dongyun to spit out Tangshan again!
