193 Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea

The noise of the day gradually dissipated, and all kinds of flags and pieces of paper full of slogans were scattered in the snow. The city quieted down on a day of election frenzy.

The official parliamentary election of the Republic of China opened vigorously in the winter of 1912.

According to the Organic Law of Parliament and the Election Law for Members of the Senate and the House of Representatives enacted by the Provisional Senate, local councils and other election councils will elect 264 members of the Senate and 556 members of the House of Representatives, with a total of 820 members of the two houses.

Therefore, the people have a very cool name for the legislators: 800 arhats!

At this time, the Red Mansions were also off duty, dissipating the noise of the day, leaving only a window on the second floor to shine through the light.

In this room with lights, Hubei Speaker Tang Hualong sat on the sofa, frowned and gritted his teeth, and sighed repeatedly: "The small party dares to come to Hubei to compete for seats!" I think it's Yuan Shikai's instructions that he has so much courage!"

Li Xiang only wore a black military coat and just shook his legs on the sofa. For a long time, he smiled and said, "Are you in trouble again? I have already told you that the stormtroopers must move! What is the stormtroopers? It is a pure political force, a team that beats political enemies on the street, creates terror, and maintains political enthusiasm within the party!"

Tang Hualong sneered and said, "All political enemies can be corrected. Can the stormtroopers come over?"

Li wanted to pick up the teacup, opened the lid of the bowl and poked the floating tea foam. He smiled and said, "I said before that I want to stand up. Why don't you give them a look? They really don't pay attention to the Kuomintang Department of Hubei District! Don't forget that Hubei District implements a multi-party cooperation system under a one-party dictatorship!"

"I also want to kill chickens and monkeys." Tang Hualong said gloomily, "But isn't it time to break your face with Yuan Shikai? What's more, there is no problem for the Kuomintang to win their small parties in Hubei District. It really needs to use the stormtroopers to have a disgraceful bad reputation!"

"A disgraceful?" Li wanted to laugh and said, "I also have more civilized moves."

Tang Hualong snorted and said, "What's the use of doing these little tricks without working hard on serious things!"

"My civilized moves are to study the reasons why political parties in various countries have succeeded among the masses. In other cases, it may take decades to get something. How can it be said to be a small trick?" Li wanted to smile and said, "Have you ever seen a mass demonstration held by foreign workers?"

"I've seen it." Tang Hualong didn't know what Li was thinking about expressing, but he just looked at Li and didn't want to say much.

Li Xiang had no smile on his face. He looked out of the window with a little starlight. For a long time, he sneered and said, "There are three reasons for a political party to succeed: we must know how to build a mass movement. Any political party is useless without a mass movement; it must master the propaganda among the masses. Art; the last point is that you must know the value of taking advantage of "spiritual and physical terror."

Tang Hualong shook his head and said, "I am against terrorism! Third, you must be based on wrong observations, which is mixed with a lot of personal prejudices.

"I understand the political movement," Li Xiang said, "Especially for the bad spiritual fear caused by political enemies. From an ideological and psychological point of view, no political enemy is the opponent of this kind of attack. As soon as the signal is sent, as long as it seems to be the most dangerous enemy, it will launch a real big attack on it with lies and slander. Until the spirit of the attacked person cannot support it. This strategy is based on an accurate estimate of all human weaknesses, and its results can lead to inevitable victory, which is almost as accurate as mathematics.

I also understand the importance of physical terror to individuals and the masses?? Because among the supporters, the victory seems to be a just victory for their own cause, and the defeated opponents in most cases have no hope of victory for continued resistance.

Tang Hualong had never seen such an evil light in Li Xiang's eyes, and he was stunned.

When the two were silent, Li Xiang sighed, "In fact, the Kuomintang seems to be galloping through the times, and it has vaguely occupied the highest position in politics. In fact, it is just dancing on the edge of the cliff. That is, Song Jiaoren failed to win the support of at least some of the powerful and unswerving institutions in China - to put it bluntly, it is the support of the barrel of a gun. Unless supported by a gun, it is difficult, if not impossible, of any political movement to gain power.

It's not the first time that Li Xiang said such a thing. Tang Hualong smiled and said, "Liang Qichao returned to China and took a telegram to our old friends."

"Are you digging the corner?" Li wanted to say coldly.

Tang Hualong nodded and said, "Lin Changmin is ready to go to Beijing..."

The following words were difficult to say, and Tang Hualong stopped.

Li Xiang listened and stood up, but what he thought of was Lin Huiyin, the little Loli of the Lin family. This singing of the Republic of China also kicked off. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Let them go." I won't stay!"

Tang Hualong also got up and smiled and said, "It's a pity, you are really willing to let go."

"What I want is a talent who can work wholeheartedly!"

......

Beijing.

Silent films are being shown in the Cabinet Prime Minister's Office, the auditorium, which is the content of the election speeches of the President of the United States, legislators and the meeting with voters. Sometimes it's an image, sometimes it's subtitles...

Under the uncertain white light, it can be seen that Zhao Bingjun and some people in suits are watching. They sit very scattered and are very serious. Several people watched while learning the gestures and smiles of the characters in the film...

After the movie is played, the picture is fixed on an English word. Shoot!" The lights in the auditorium were turned on, and in the bright light, these people still squinted slightly.

Zhao Bingjun stood up and said, "Now let's rehearse as we just saw!"

A man in his forties in a melonskin hat and a suit came to the stage, learned from the President of the United States to pose a few shapes, coughed twice, and began to speak for a long time: "The party's campaign policy is to support humanitarianism and seek welfareism for voters. Therefore, our party is running for Congress, and morality is the monarch..."

"Oc., okay, okay..." At this time, Zhao Bingjun had stood up, pointed to the man on the stage, and said, "I said you wouldn't say something new? Come down."

Zhao Bingjun pointed to another person beside him and said, "Go up and say it."  

The people on the stage came down, and the people around Zhao Bingjun went up.  

At the door, Yuan Shikai flashed and quietly stood aside and watched.

The people on the stage seemed to be thinking about what to say, and everyone was waiting. He suddenly made a gesture, which was to wave his hand when watching the U.S. presidential election in the film just now, but he made it ridiculous and said, "My party, well, my party's election policy, ah, are all real, not false. First, Party members are not allowed to eat cigarettes or drink alcohol. Oh, of course, medicinal wine drunk when they are sick is not in this case. No concubines, no prostitutes, no opium trading. Therefore, the members of this party are all decent people..."

"Please vote for our party!" He said excitedly and suddenly shouted. After that, he remembered to be supplemented by a gesture, so he pushed his right hand forward - a whole beat late.

Zhao Bingjun stood up again in anger and pointed to him and scolded, "I said retarded, you!"

Zhao Bingjun picked up a bunch of pamphlets such as "My Struggle", "Three People's Zhu Yi", "Speech Collection" (written by Song Jiaoren), "The Strategy of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" (written by Sun Yat-sen), "The General Principles of Meeting" (written by Sun Yat-sen) and waved them, and said angrily, "Look at how the Kuomintang did it. !"

He pointed to the people on the stage and scolded, "Don't smoke, don't drink... Go home and tell your wife about this kind of bullshit!" You are a Republican and you don't talk about republican!"

He pointed to the person on the left beside him and roared, "You are a Democratic Party who doesn't talk about democracy!"

He pointed to the person on the right beside him and continued to roar, "You are a unified party and don't talk about national unity!"

He threw the pamphlets written by various Kuomintang people on the table and roared, "What are you talking about? Your three parties together can't match a Song Jiaoren!"

Zhao Bingjun sat down angrily.

When more than a dozen people saw that Zhao Bingjun was angry, they all stood aside and looked at each other with a pamphlet in their hand. They were a little afraid of the Prime Minister.

Yuan Shikai clapped his hands and said, "Well said!"

When Zhao Bingjun heard the sound, he quickly stood up like a spring. Facing the door, he saw Yuan Shikai coming over.

Zhao Bingjun and others greeted him respectfully and said with a smile, "President!"  

Yuan Shikai said happily, "Okay, okay! Zhi'an takes constitutionalism seriously, and all parties are seriously preparing to run for parliament. I am very gratified.

Zhao Bingjun asked Yuan Shikai to sit down, and then stood up and said, "The Kuomintang is far ahead in the polls of the Times. Once the election starts, it's strange that our parties don't fall into the water.

Yuan Shikai waved his hand, asked them all to sit down, and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

He looked around at the incompetent leaders of each party and was angry, but he smiled and said, "However, it's better to unite and form one party."

Several leaders looked at each other, all sitting upright, and no one was convinced by anyone's eyes.

Zhao Bingjun took all this in his eyes, because he said, "This matter has been discussed several times. After the merger, it can't be decided who will be the party leader. The Kuomintang is Sun Yat-sen as the party leader and Song Jiaoren acting as the agent; our parties will merge, unless the president is the party leader..."

Yuan Shikai waved his hand again and said repeatedly, "I can't, I can't!"

"The president can't do it, so who else can do it?"

He stared at everyone and said, "But I have invited a person who is a hundred times stronger than me."

"Who has the ability of this leader?" Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Yuan Shikai said softly, "Mr. Liang Qichao."

A man exclaimed, "Mr. Liang? He is a great theorist of China's constitutional government, and he dares to be good.

Someone shouted, "Oi! If Mr. Liang comes, our party will be convinced!"

......

Yuan Shikai clapped his hands and said, "Zhuo Ru, come in."

Liang Qichao came in with a smile. Everyone was overjoyed and rushed up to say hello.

Yuan Shikai stood up and everyone stared at him.

Yuan Shikai waved his hand, and the waiter brought the wine on the plate.

Yuan Shikai said slowly, "I am in charge of this matter: from now on, the three major parties of republic, democracy and unification will be merged into the Progressive Party, and Mr. Liang Qichao will be the party leader."

The leaders of the three major parties face Liang Qichao, bowed slightly and said in unison, "Obey Mr. Liang's leadership!"

Yuan Shikai picked up the wine glass, and everyone picked up the wine glass.

Yuan Shikai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The predecessor of the Kuomintang is the Alliance, which has already been made into steel. But my Progressive Party will be outstanding in the future, and it is also like a tiger with wings. Now, the Kuomintang has won the election... Ladies and gentlemen, Zhuoru, the Kuomintang is going to trap the government, you want to help the government, and the two parties will have a fight. I wish you success! Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

......

Everyone's wine glasses touch together
