322 wine is crazy

In the early morning, the foggy city has not dissipated. The Bund Huizhong Hotel is full of European Renaissance atmosphere, and the top Baroque exquisite garden is about to hold a luxurious ceremony.

The news of Sun Yat-sen's return from overseas immediately spread all over the country. All provinces warmly welcomed him, and the telegram flew to Shanghai like snowflakes, expressing his respect for Sun Yat-sen and his expectations for the establishment of a republic. The provincial federations in Nanjing appointed six representatives, including Ma Junwu from Guangxi, Jing Yaoyue from Shanxi, Wang Zhuhuai from Anhui, and Wang Youlan from Jiangxi, to welcome Sun Yat-sen from Shanghai.

Shanghai is even more immersed in a happy atmosphere. Flags and lanterns are hung on all major streets to celebrate. The navy and people from all walks of life held welcome conferences respectively. The welcome meeting of the headquarters of the China League is being held at the Bund Huizhong Hotel on Nanjing Road.

When Sun Yat-sen walked into the venue, a Baroque pavilion was built on the east side of the station. Everyone shouted: "Salute to Sun Yat-sen!"

Then there was a warm thunderous applause, and Sun Yat-sen nodded with a smile to express his gratitude.

After the host delivered a welcome speech, Sun Yat-sen looked solemn and delivered a speech: "We will hold the three major doctrines and advocate the world. Although both nationalism and civil rights have been achieved, it still requires the efforts of many people to achieve great success. Moreover, people's livelihoodism has not been started so far, and China must focus on it in the future.

This is Sun Yat-sen's first three-people speech in China. During the speech, Sun Yat-sen was refreshed, and his voice was bright and loud, which clearly echoed in the venue, strongly touching the hearts of the people present.

On the morning of the welcoming Sun Yat-sen meeting held at the headquarters of the League, representatives of various provinces held a meeting to prepare for the interim presidential election of the central interim government at the Nanjing Consultative Bureau.

Because Sun Yat-sen asked him to be the president on New Year's Day, the time is very urgent. On the night of November 8 of 1911, Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren took a special bus to Nanjing, stationed in Dingjia Garden. The next night, they went to the Consultative Bureau to attend the provincial congresses to discuss and amend the Organic Law of the Provisional Government.

Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren put forward three proposals: first, change to the solar calendar; second, take the era of the Yellow Emperor during the uprising, which should be the era of the Republic of China; third, organize the government to adopt the presidential system.

The first two items were passed after debate, but the representatives suggested not to prohibit the marking of the lunar calendar and solar terms under the solar calendar. This is also the origin of the modern common calendar in China. Above is the solar calendar, and below is the lunar calendar, traditional festivals and other festivals.

When discussing the third bill, Song Jiaoren still insisted on the implementation of the cabinet system and counted the drawbacks of the presidential system. However, Song Jiaoren's proposal is because the provincial representatives have passed the presidential system of the provisional government of the Republic of China, but now it is changing to the cabinet prime minister system. Most of the provincial representatives do not agree with the cabinet system, and the venue has almost become a deadlock. Of course, this is just a superficial phenomenon. For these guys who have participated in the writing of the organization law of the interim government in Nanjing these days, what is more annoying is that Song Jiaoren pointed out the flawed organization method of the interim government carefully written by them. Song Jiaoren and counted the shortcomings of the presidential system, which is just to write down on their organization. The drawbacks of the law? This made these Jiangnan commissels who participated in the writing of the organization law very shameless, so they united against Song Jiaoren's cabinet system!

Finally, under the auspices of Huang Xing, it was decided by democratic voting, so the suspenseless vote was still through the presidential system.

Regarding whether to retain the word "temporary", most representatives believe that there are still people in the provinces that are not independent, and the official constitution has not been promulgated. Now the elected president must use the word "temporary".

Although Sun Yat-sen will become an interim president, the provincial representatives are still not so relieved. They especially called Li Yuanhong: "The delegation decided to hold the provisional presidential meeting on the 10th (the 29th day of the Western calendar), and then the selected person will telegram to Yuan's cabinet. If the peace agreement is established, it will be avoided." The representatives used the elegant word "evasion" here. In fact, it is who is elected as the interim president. If the peace is successful, it must give way to Yuan Shikai. Li Yuanhong replied: "I hope there will be peace. No matter who is the president, you will be welcomed." Although Li Yuanhong, who is in Wuchang, has completely become a puppet of Li Xiangyuan, he is still afraid of discussion and rupture.

On the tenth day of November in 1911, that is, December 29th, 1911.

Representatives of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Henan, Zhili, Fengtian, Shandong, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan and Guizhou, representatives of 17 provinces gathered in Nanjing to formally elect the interim president by secret ballot.

The list of representatives of the 17 provinces attended are: Wu Jingli, representative of Fengtian, Gu Zhongxiu, representative of Henan, Xie Hongtao, representative of Shandong, Jing Yaoyue, Li Su and Liu Maoshang, representatives of Shanxi, Zhang Weisen and Ma Buyun, representatives of Shaanxi, Yuan Xiluo and Chen Taoyi, representatives of Jiangsu, Xu Guanyao, Wang Zhuhuai and Zhao Bin, representatives of Anhui. Jiangxi representatives Lin Zichao, Zhao Shibei, Wang Youlan, Yu Yinglu, Tang Yi, Zhejiang representatives Tang Erhe, Huang Qun, Chen Shixia, Chen Yi, Qu Yingguang, Fujian representatives Pan Zuyi, Guangdong representatives Wang Chonghui and Hui Xianfu, Guangxi representatives Ma Junwu and Zhang Qinshi, Hunan representatives Tan Renfeng, Zou Daifan, Liao Mingqi, Hubei representatives Ma Boyuan , Wang Zhengting, Yang Shijie, Hu Ying, Ju Zheng, Sichuan representatives Xiao Xiang, Zhou Daiben, Yunnan representatives Lu Zhiyi, Zhang Yipeng, Duan Yuqing.

Tang Erhe, the representative of Zhejiang, is the speaker, Wang Chonghui, the representative of Guangdong, is the deputy speaker, and Yuan Xiluo, the representative of Jiangsu, is the secretary.

"I announce that the presidential election meeting for the representatives of the seventeen provinces will start now!" First Speaker Tang Erhe announced the meeting. He bit the tip of his tongue and shouted out a thick and soft Zhejiang dialect, "... China's thousands of years of autocracy has ended, and the republican regime has been realized!"

Everyone applauded warmly.

The election will be held immediately after that, with one vote per province, with a total of 17 votes. The candidates are: Sun Yat-sen, Li Yuanhong, Huang Xing.

When the result of the invoice came out, the representative of Jiangsu, the secretary of the conference, handed Yuan Xiluo, Deputy Speaker of Guangdong Representative Wang Chonghui. He opened his mouth with a big Cantonese accent: "The result of the invoice is that Mr. Sun Yat-sen has 16 votes, Huang Xing has one vote, and Li Yuanhong has zero votes."

"I declare," the Speaker of Parliament solemnly announced in a Zhejiang accent: "Mr. Sun Yat-sen was elected as the first interim president of the Republic of China!"

The crowd stood up and cheered for the Republic of China. It was a musical masterpiece. The representatives present and the troops and students from all walks of life celebrated each other's joy and reached the extreme.

During the meeting, the provisional government was organized, and it was urgent. It was urgent to push the principal and deputy speaker Tang Erhe, Wang Chonghui and others to go to Shanghai to congratulate Sun Yat-sen, and some representatives will inform Sun Yat-sen and the provinces of the election results.

After the meeting, Huang Xing sent two telegrams, unanimously Chen Qimei: "Chen Dujian: Today's parliamentary decision to change to the solar calendar and the era of the Republic of China. Tomorrow is the first day of the first year of the Republic of China. Please announce it. The unanimous "Minli Daily" Yu Youren: "Minli Daily" Yu Junyou Renjian: Today, the Senate Council will make a resolution, and tomorrow will be the first day of the first month of the Republic of China. President Sun will come to Ning to publish the organization of the interim government."

At the same time, a clear message was sent: "This day, the temporary presidential election will be held in Ning, and the meeting will be held in 17 provinces. I hereby inform you that Mr. Sun Yat-sen has been elected as the interim president.

As soon as the election results were announced, the city of Nanjing was boiling, with firecrackers ringing, colorful flags fluttering, and slogans one after another. The degree of enthusiasm is better than the Spring Festival and better than any previous festivals. Wherever the news spreads, there is a sea of joy, and the joy is inflated by the continuous addition of the crowd. Shanghai, where Sun Yat-sen was at this time, has completely turned into a sea of joy.

The news spread to the top floor of the Huizhong Hotel, the headquarters venue of the League, and people cheered and stood up!

The people around Sun Yat-sen danced happily and shouted excitedly!

Many revolutionaries who have dry blood and will not shed tears on their bodies are in tears at this moment!

Sun Yat-sen was elected as the interim president. It seems that China's revolution has been completed!

The Song Jiashu family, who had already tied fate with Sun Yat-sen, was even more happy to go crazy. Miss Song completely forgot her shyness. She shuttled through the flowers like the most beautiful flowers and butterflies in the venue, hugging everyone she met. She smiled and shouted, "I'm elected, the president, the president, the president of China!"

The day before yesterday, when Miss Song first took office, she was only the secretary of the Prime Minister of a domestic revolutionary group alliance, but today she suddenly became the secretary of the president! The president is not only the head of state, the head of government, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and the leader of the ruling party. She felt that the burden on her shoulders suddenly increased a lot. She had to be more alert, more active and selfless. She must not only complete the daily affairs given by the officer, but also use her own brain to think about things and do everything to considerately for the president. After the carnival, she immediately thought of a job that was unattended but must be done, that is, to sort out Sun Yat-sen's resume so that it can be announced to the press at any time, so that all Chinese people and the world can know Sun Yat-sen and Sun Yat-sen.

When Miss Song was drunk, her extraordinary reason made her wake up first.

The first thing Miss Song who woke up saw was Li Xiang, who was unhappy in the corner. He was bored with his wine glass and watching the crazy people with cold eyes. His eyes were as deep as the sea, revealing deep worries.

Li Xiang's venue is a person who keeps a clear head from beginning to end. The "provisional" government and the "temporary" president determine the fate of the Nanjing Provisional Government headed by Sun Yat-sen. It can only be a transitional government. Its task is not to carry out the revolution to the end, but to end the revolution with compromise!

Miss Song came with a smile, and Hua Rong said with a smile, "You see that everyone is drunk and cheers for your election as president. Why is only Li Shuai alone depressed?"

"There is nothing to cheer for." Li wanted to answer without hesitation. His eyelids were not raised, and his eyes were just focused on the rotating wine in the glass. "It's just temporary!"

"Temporary..." Miss Song asked thoughtfully, "Li Shuai might as well speak bluntly."

"The tutor is generous and doesn't care much about the position of president at all..."

Miss Song was shocked after hearing this. She was shocked and said quickly, "You mean he is ready to give way to Yuan Shikai at any time?"

She said this in a heavy voice. Li Xiang was shocked and quickly covered his mouth, regardless of his intimation. He whispered to her, "I know your ideals, and I know the ideals of your Song family. Therefore, our purpose is the same. Sun Yat-sen sits firmly on the presidency, the Northern Expedition continues smoothly, and the revolution continues to the end! What do you think?"

Li wanted to smile at her and left without waiting for him to answer.

At the venue, in the warm applause, Sun Yat-sen kept waving to everyone.

The whole of Shanghai is also boiling, the colorful flags are fluttering in the wind, the firecrackers are ringing non-stop, and the colorful lights are shining at night.
