1 New Responsibility of the New National
The Nanjing market is bustling. In the most prosperous area, you can see several hot-blooded students standing on the wooden boxes they have moved and giving ** overflowing speeches. From time to time, there are rickshaw drivers pulling a carload of cut braids on the street. There are a variety of advertisements on the street, and many goods have also been replaced with new trademarks such as "Recongation", "Qingsheng" and "Northern Expedition".
In front of a noodle stall, people lined up to cut their braids. The big words on the notice board next to it are eye-catching: "The braid cutter will provide a bowl of meat noodles for free as a reward."
The old people are melancholy and melancholy about this braid that is about to be cut for half a lifetime, but the children are excited to cut the tedious braids. The braids on the ground piled up like a hill. The people who cut their braids made a noise and brought out a bowl of hot meat noodles.
Revolutionary soldiers lined up from the side singing the new army song from Hankou:
Forward! Move forward! Move forward!
Our team is facing the sun,
Stepping on the land of the motherland,
With the hope of the nation,
We are an invincible force.
We are the children of workers and peasants,
We are the armed forces of the people,
From fearless,
Never give in,
Fight bravely,
Until the reactionaries are eliminated,
The flag of the revolutionary army is flying high.
Listen! The wind is roaring,
Listen! The revolutionary song is so loud!
Comrades run neatly to the battlefield of restoration,
Comrades went to the frontiers of the motherland at a neat pace,
Forward! Move forward!
Our team is facing the sun,
To the final victory,
The restoration of the whole country!
The tune is magnificent, resolute and heroic, enthusiastic and unrestrained. The lyrics and songs are integrated, showing the unpretentious and indestructible revolutionary spirit of the revolutionary army, shaping the heroic image of the revolutionary army shouldering the historical trust and fighting bravely for the revolutionary cause of the Chinese nation. It focuses on the heroic and majestic military prestige of the revolutionary army, with an unprecedented fighting style and a powerful force to destroy. .
The lyrics and songs are vivid, the melody is smooth, the tone is solid, and the beat is regular. As soon as it was sung by the Hankou Revolutionary Army, it immediately spread widely, becoming the loudest song sung by the revolutionary army in the southern provinces.
Song Jiaoren and Li Xiang flashed to the street and watched this group of troops singing the battle song vigoriously. After Sun Yat-sen took office as the interim president, he immediately organized the government the next day and convened the provincial representative meeting as the interim president. The two met on the street to attend the meeting.
First, the day before New Year's Day, Mr. Sun Yat-sen sent Huang Keqiang and Song Jiaoren to the representative meeting to request the revision of the Organizational Outline of the Provisional Government. The main points are: first, the addition of vice presidents; second, the head of each ministry is changed to a state officer; third, the power of deputy state affairs officer is stipulated. In order to imitate the presidential system of the U.S. Constitution, if the chief ministers of ministries are called state officials and have the power of deputy signature, although there is no prime minister, it also has the spirit of the cabinet. At that time, the discussion and debate was until late at night, there was still no result of the deputy secretary, but the addition of the vice president will be passed.
Today, we are still discussing the Amendment to the Outline of the Organization of the Provisional Government, and the establishment of nine ministries of the army, navy, diplomacy, justice, finance, internal affairs, education, industry and transportation of the government of the Republic of China, and the change of the "minister" to the "general" issue. According to the organizational outline, the president of each ministry is nominated by the president, but must be approved by the provincial congress. Therefore, the arrangement of the candidates for the head of each department is actually a redistribution of power. Between provinces and provinces, between representatives and representatives, old bureaucrats, politicians and social listeners secretly compete for each other.
Song Jiaoren is also working hard to prepare for today's World War. Whether the cabinet prime minister system can be passed is also today!
Song Jiaoren frowned and was worried about it, because he was not sure about today's backwater battle, but after listening to the passionate song just now, he raised his fighting spirit again.
"Li Shuai's poetry is really the best in contemporary times. I don't know how many commissary men in the south of the Yangtze River have been ashamed. But I don't know: the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." Song Jiaoren took a look at Li Xiang beside him. Although he felt the friendship between the heroes, perhaps the mutual pity between the heroes, the two had a big difference in their thoughts, which was helpless that no one would compromise.
Both of them are sharp people and are excluded from both inside and outside the party, so it is easy for them to resonate, but Li Xiang doesn't want to discuss more on this issue. He changed the topic and said, "What do you have on the French cabinet system?"
Song Jiaoren was stunned. If Sun Yat-sen asked him, he would be eloquent and kept talking. However, Li Xiang not only does not have an official position in the Nanjing Provisional Government, but also does not belong to the alliance system, but also a standard soldier. The governor of Hubei is still famous as Li Yuanhong, a puppet. Assuming that Song Jiaoren and the other party talk deeply and shake the bottom card, it seems that it is not very helpful to today's World War I, and he really doesn't see that Li Xiang has any talent for politics, and there are contradictions. Li Xiang is a madman of the Northern Expedition, but he is in favor of the North-South peace, so he can't help but hesitate.
Since Sun Yat-sen came to Shanghai, although he had had several deep talk with Sun Yat-sen, and Sun Yat-sen also expressed his appreciation for him, he saw that although Sun Yat-sen and himself stressed the construction of the Republic of China, what Sun Yat-sen said was social and economic construction, and what Song Jiaoren said was political construction. They are different. . He not only erects enemies outside the party, but also makes it difficult for him to be appreciated and reused in the party, and he is distressed.
Li Xiang smiled and said, "My husband strongly advocates the implementation of the French cabinet system. He believes that the cabinet system is the best system in democratic countries. I'm afraid that he also wants to limit the presidential dictatorship with the cabinet system, so he has no fear to advocate the peace between the north and south of the Qing Dynasty!"
Song Jiaoren was really shocked. He almost reflexively said, "Li Shuai is joking!"
"It's not me laughing, it's you who are stupid and naive!" Li wanted to stop, looked at the pedestrians on the street in a hurry, and said with a straight face: "I have nothing to doubt about this: political construction, the formulation of the constitution, the election of the president, the party organization responsibility cabinet that won the overwhelming majority of the Congress, and the opening of China's democratic politics. Your ideal - in the DPRK, you can form a one-party responsible cabinet; if you retreat, you can also closely supervise the government... It seems that it can become a reality smoothly. But don't you know that since you want to take the road of constitutional democracy, Yuan Shikai, who has already taken the power, will allow such a fact to happen? Who is Yuan Shikai? Yesterday, he did not hesitate to betray and change the law for the sake of power! Today, he can betray Manting without hesitation for the sake of power! Tomorrow, he can betray the Republic without hesitation for the sake of power! Then you can only be killed and eliminate the physical life of political enemies, which is a common ugly phenomenon in human political history. Don't doubt whether Yuan Shikai has the courage.
Song Jiaoren stared at him for a while. Of course, he felt that Li Xiang was alarmist. In the original historical trajectory, he ignored the dissuasion of his friends and was easily assassinated because he was too swaggering to run north at Shanghai Railway Station.
Song Jiaoren couldn't help laughing and said, "Li Shuai still wants to persuade me to support the Northern Expedition and carry out the revolution to the end."
Li Xiang said as he walked, "I actually agree with the cabinet system, but if you take this road, there will be a disaster of suicide in the future!"
Li Xiang said amazingly that he did not hesitate to reveal the secrets.
Song Jiaoren's face changed slightly. He took a long breath and sighed, "Li Shuai is a little alarmist."
Li wanted to understand Song Jiaoren's hardships, and he couldn't say more. If he said more, he might not believe it, so he smiled gently and said, "Will the formation of the Nanjing government be carried out in accordance with the Revolutionary Strategy of the Chinese League?"
Song Jiaoren replied cheerfully, "This was formulated by Mr. Zhongshan in 2006. In the Revolutionary Strategy of the Chinese League, he stressed that after the armed overthrow of the autocratic system, it is necessary to transition to democratic politics, and the whole revolutionary process must go through three stages: the rule of military law, the rule of treaty law, and the rule of the constitution."
Li Xiang is not a historical bricklayer called a beast. He said doubtfully, "What's the difference between the Ezhou Treaty Law and drafted by you after you arrived in Wuchang and discussed with Tang Hualong, Hu Ruilin and others?"
Song Jiaoren pulled a trace of disdain at the corners of his mouth and said indifferently, "As long as you study the Ezhou Treaty Law, you will find that although the Treaty Law clearly stipulates that "the governor has the power to take charge of government affairs, command the navy and army, appoint civil and military officers", but when implementing these powers, "you need to go through the deputy secretary of the government affairs committee" - this is Typical "cabinet system" restrictions. Therefore, I adhere to the cabinet system, which is its basic concept for the actual operation of democratic politics. At least at first, I was not utilitarian.
Song Jiaoren's words are a kind of friendship with Li Xiang. He does not deny that he now has the merits and selfishness to run for the prime minister: "On the contrary, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, in his leading "Revolutionary Strategy", the "rule of military law" must be implemented after the revolution. The rule of military law is based on military law and relies on the supervision of the military government to wipe out the old pollution. It should not only eliminate the harm of politics and Manchuria, but also carry out construction work such as education, road construction, police sanitation, and the rise of the benefits of agriculture, industry and commerce. Mr. Zhongshan's ideas to solve these tasks are obviously implemented by the government, which means that the government must have real power, and the heads of government must have a strong ability to lead all aspects of work. The military government has absolute power, while the head of the military government is more centralized. Of course, the presidential system is the institutional arrangement he adheres to. We all know that absolute power will only lead to absolute corruption. And the whole revolutionary process he fantasized about going through three stages: the rule of military law, the rule of contract law, and the rule of the constitution. How can the constitution advocate the same work?
Li Xiang, who graduated from college finance, is half a bucket of water for politics. After a little bit like Song Jiaoren, he suddenly realized.
The two chatted and unconsciously looked up, and the presidential palace was in front of them.

"Declaration" New Year's Day article in 1992:
Today is the new New Year's Day of the Republic of China. President Sun has ascended the throne. Forty thousand of my 40 thousand compatriots are like new mothers and fetuses. From today on, for the new people, the new morality, the academics are new, the new crown is new, and the new careers of the future. The new responsibility of the new people of Xuwu is also... Long live the new people! Long live the new people! Long live the new president!
The provisional government of the Republic of China is not yet a government of a country. Its jurisdiction is just a piece of territory split from a piece of land - but it can be called the "Republic of China" is enough to cheer those who are working tirelessly to overthrow the imperial system.
Major newspapers across the country, Shanghai Minli Daily, Guangzhou Republic Daily, Hankou People's Daily, and the Cabinet Official Newspaper sponsored by the Man Ting Office in Beijing all published Sun Yat-sen's Interim President's Oath.
Yuan Shikai is very angry!
Before taking office as the interim president, Sun Yat-sen telegramed Yuan Shikai on December 29, saying, "... Although the text is temporarily lacking, the intention of waiting for the empty position can finally be made clear in the future..." He said that after the abdication of the Qing Emperor, the position of president will definitely be given to Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai refused to believe Sun Yat-sen's promise. He was afraid that his hope of winning the president would be failed. In addition, Tang Shaoyi and Wu Tingfang agreed on the election law of the National Congress at that time, and sent representatives on a provincial basis. There were many representatives from independent provinces in the south, so they might not be manipulated freely. Therefore, he was very angry when he received the news of the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government. Until Sun Yat-sen took office on New Year's Day yesterday, when he met with Zhu Erdian to plot countermeasures, he still looked very unhappy and extremely frustrated.
Yuan Shikai is very angry, and the consequences are very serious!
Sun Yat-sen was elected as the interim president to set up a government in Nanjing, which was a blow to Yuan Shikai, and he must immediately make a series of counterattacks against it!
Yuan Shikai threw a messy pile of newspapers on the ground angrily and asked, "How did Tang Shaoyi talk about it?"
Yuan Keding saw that his father looked solemn, so he said seriously, "Tang Shaoyi made arbitrary decisions and exceeded the authority through these problems. This kind of resolution cannot be recognized. It was Liang Shiyi who telegraphed Tang Shaoyi to know the situation and instructed Tang Shaoyi to do so as to avoid making a big mistake!"
