5 sub-official meeting

After lunch, the meeting continues.

Huang Xing took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, glanced at the big guy, and asked, "Gentlemen, have you read the nomination of the president. Is there anything that needs to be corrected?"

Speaking of which, when Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing and other senior cadres of the League discussed the organization of government and administrative candidates, both of them intended to take the senior cadres of the League as the team, so several important departments of the provisional government nominated all the people of the League.

The interim president proposed a cabinet list, which is modeled on the U.S. government system and does not have a prime minister. The government of the Republic of China has set up nine departments: the army, navy, diplomacy, justice, finance, internal affairs, education, industry and transportation, and renamed the "minister" as the "general". According to the previous organizational outline, the head of each department is nominated by the president.

The list of nine chief ministers proposed by President Sun Yat-sen is as follows:

Chief Minister of Wartime, Chief of the Army Department and Chief of Staff: Huang Xing;

Chief of Foreign Affairs: Wang Chonghui;

Chief of Finance: Chen Jintao;

Chief of Education: Zhang Taiyan;

Traffic Chief: Cheng Dequan;

Chief of the Navy: Huang Zhongying;

Chief Justice: Wu Tingfang;

General Secretary of Internal Affairs: Song Jiaoren;

Chief of Industry: Zhang Jian.

In addition to the other nine departments, the Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace: Hu Hanmin.

According to the organizational outline, the president of each department 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.

The representatives of the parliamentarians suddenly blew up the list of obviously biased towards the alliance, and the voices of opposition resounded throughout the venue.

Therefore, Huang Xing soon found that his eyes were bigger than his abdomen. Speaking of the Wuchang Uprising, the general situation that the provinces responded to was originally a situation where everyone pushed down the wall. The power of the alliance was only part of it, and it may not be the main part. Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing both won with prestige and history. The most powerful people pushed to the Manting wall are the non-allied members, so how can Huang Xing convince them with such a list of "department conferences"?

When Mr. Sun Yat-sen first arrived in Shanghai, the revolutionary army was in poverty. At that time, it was rumored that he brought back a lot of money to overseas Chinese, which was enough to relieve his eyebrows. The journalist also said that Mr. Zhongshan replied: The rest of the money is not a name. What is brought back is the 'revolutionary spirit' ear. Although Mr. Zhongshan's good eloquence can make the audience applaud, it also shows that in addition to prestige, Mr. Zhongshan has no special political strength among the people who jointly pushed the wall this time.

As for Huang Xing, he is a light commander with no generals. When he first arrived in Wuchang, he also relied on prestige. Li Yuanhong and other young revolutionary generals who were as famous as Sanwu (Sun Wu, Zhang Zhenwu and Jiang Yiwu) were secretly jealous of him. Some people even deliberately dragged him back, resulting in a failure of filial piety. He had to return to Shanghai sadly. After that, in the Battle of Nanjing, although the battle was won, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang allied forces be the soldiers of the children of this 'Hunan mule'? In this era of 'necessary soldiers', the 'light pole commander' falling from the sky is difficult or even unable to command. Therefore, after Song Jiaoren and Chen Qimei were elected as the grand marshal of the Nanjing Provisional Government under the vigorous movement of the Central Alliance, the generals of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang allied forces immediately jumped out against it, ridiculed him as a 'permanent general' and 'four legs under Huang Xing'. In the chaotic early years of the Republic of China, it was not far away, but it was necessary to lead soldiers as a general. The light pole commander is always just an honorary title, and Huang Xing was a light pole commander at that time. What did he say?

"The chief minister of the central departments, the first position of the commander-in-chief of the army, falls on Huang Keqiang's shoulders. This is what everyone expects, and I have no opinion. But how can Song Jiaoren take on the position of chief of internal affairs?

Since the cabinet system amendment has been put on hold, the government of the Republic of China is still implementing the American system. The U.S. system is headed by the Secretary of State. The Republic of China, which was established during the war, was slightly txative, with the chief minister of the army as the chief minister.

In the position of Director of Internal Affairs, the internal candidates of Sun and Huang were originally their closest revolutionary partners, the shining and talented Song Jiaoren. It is also because he is too angry that he has attracted the jealousy of non-alliance, and even the insiders of the alliance have opposition. The provincial representatives who approved the amendment to the provisional government organization outline in the morning. Combined with Song Jiaoren's previous actions to seize power in Shanghai, the representative generally believed that the motive of this clause was "Song Jiaoren's self-proclaimed prime minister", so he collectively refused. Now, Sun Yat-sen has nominated Song Jiaoren as the Minister of Internal Affairs, and the representative committee is still unanimously opposed. Song Jiaoren lost the election, which shows the depth of the understanding.

On this day, Song Jiaoren was hit internally and externally.

Li wanted to see that he was sad and full of talent, but he couldn't help sighing: "General Li, meet Emperor Gao..."

With this sentence alone, Song Jiaoren has a sense of confidant. At this time of internal and external shocks, when he was isolated and helpless, when Song Jiaoren's heart was the most vulnerable, Li Xiang's friendly gesture moved him the most. It's just that he is a rational person, hiding this emotion in his heart.

Song Jiaoren cheered up and said, "I'm from Hunan. No one doesn't know the stubbornness of us Hunan people. I won't admit defeat, and I won't accept my fate!"

Li Xiangsu asked, "Is the Minister of Internal Affairs of Hubei interested?" Although it is not as spacious as the Nanjing stage, it can at least show its strengths. You don't need to doubt my sincerity. The Ezhou Covenant you wrote has been thoroughly implemented by me in Hubei.

Song Jiaoren was stunned, and Tan Renfeng, who was on the other side of Li Xiang, also heard it, and was also stunned. Unexpectedly, Li wanted to recruit Song Jiaoren in a big way. Just like recruiting Li Siguang at the beginning, he was a little unpopular with the central government. The meaning of separation was obvious, or he was not optimistic about the Nanjing Provisional Government.

Song Jiaoren was impulsive for a moment and almost agreed. His lips squirmed, and he still said, "Li Shuai, you are also from Hunan. You should know the stubbornness of our Hunan people... I won't admit defeat, nor will I accept my fate!"

At the same time, Tan Renfeng sighed in Li Xiang's ear, "Dunchu may not be so embarrassed."

Li Xiang also knows what they think. After all, he is too young, his qualifications are too shallow, and his strength is not big enough to make them ignore his weaknesses. He nodded knowingly and was not annoyed. He just said, "I'm still the same old saying. Your sincerity should not change. When you come to Hubei, the Minister of Internal Affairs is yours."

Song Jiaoren lowered his head to avoid seeing his touching look.

At this time, a representative stood up and shouted, "It's not appropriate for the Director of Education to be Zhang Taiyan!" Zhang has repeatedly slandered the words of the alliance, which is not expected by the public, and although he is a scholar of Sinology, he has never been engaged in education. I don't know whether education is true and incompetent. Or make a final determination!"

These representatives immediately aimed their guns at Zhang Taiyan after sniping Song Jiaoren.

Zhang Taiyan, like Li Xiang, is a well-known madman who offends a lot of people, so he is very unintentioned by "some people".

This representative's words are also reasonable. It can be seen that this person is still a little smart, but Huang Xing heard it. Sun Yat-sen nominated Zhang Taiyan because he wanted to repair the relationship with the Restoration Association and alleviate the internal contradictions of the revolution, so he said unhappily, "How can the president see the wrong person? Zhang Taiyan's talent is obvious to all. This matter is It's such an arrangement. There's no need to say more."

The representatives of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces couldn't help coming out and objected, "Mr. Huang, please think twice, otherwise I'm afraid people will be convinced."

As soon as the representatives of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces opened their voices, if the Constitutional Council opposed it in unison, although Huang Xing was furious, he had to hesitate. You only have such great strength, so what if you are uncompromising?

Huang Xing sighed and said, "Okay!"

All factions knew that he changed his mind and sat back happily.

Huang Xing hasn't spoken yet, and another representative said, "The position of foreign Minister should belong to Wu Tingfang."

Wu Tingfang's ancestral home is Guangdong, but he was born in Singapore, a British colony in Nanyang, and was a British overseas citizen in accordance with the law. Wu Tingfang's foreign language is good. He was educated in law in London and has a British lawyer's license. He opened a business in Hong Kong and was the first lawyer of British Chinese. Later, he was elected as a 'Member of the Legislative Council' and the first Chinese person in Hong Kong. However, in the all-white colonial system of Hong Kong, the Wu family was a low-class second-class bureaucrat. Obviously, he was unwilling. He turned back to the Qing government of the motherland to serve. Unexpectedly, he was transferred to the top official, the right servant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and then released as an imperial minister and a minister to the United States. It can be said that the official is high and smooth sailing. Moreover, it strives for sovereignty for the weak Man Ting in the signing of the Mexican Trade Treaty, so it enjoys a very high reputation in the Chinese and foreign diplomatic circles. However, Wu Tingfang went deep into the rotten officialdom of the court and witnessed the incurable relief of the Qing court bureaucrats. As soon as the sound of Wuchang's cannons, Chen Qimei knelt in front of his house and finally agreed with it. He promised Chen Qimei to serve as the general representative of the military government's internal and foreign affairs, and also as the general representative of the Southern peace. At that time, there was indeed no second person outside Wu Tingfang in the revolutionary camp.

Mr. Zhongshan became the president and nominated Wu Tingfang as the Chief Justice, while the foreign director Wang Chonghui, a hairy boy who had just graduated from Yale, could not be compared with the experience of the two, which of course aroused a lot of opposition.

In fact, Sun Yat-sen secretly intended independent diplomacy, and he wanted Wang Chonghui to name him.

When the first meeting of the Provisional Senate after the founding of the Republic of China reviewed the list of nine people submitted by Sun Yat-sen, some people opposed Song Jiaoren, Wang Chonghui and Zhang Taiyan, and some people proposed to change Wu Tingfang as the head of foreign affairs.

Some representatives firmly oppose Song Jiaoren, on the grounds that he advocates the cabinet system and has the ambition to be the prime minister; some representatives oppose Wang Chonghui on the grounds that he is not qualified; some representatives oppose Zhang Taiyan on the grounds that he is too arrogant. There are also some representatives who oppose it solely for the sake of opposition.

The venue argued endlessly until sunset, and there was no result. The whole venue was more chaotic than the market.

Huang Xing's good temper couldn't help shouting, "Let's break up!" The meeting is off! Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
