114 Jinling Qunyinghui
The first stage of Nanjing Sanpai Building is holding a plenary meeting of the Alliance Headquarters. Four or five thousand people came to the meeting, which was unprecedented.
The voice is so noisy that I can't hear what's going on.
"Please be quiet! Now announce the election results of the General Assembly!"
The host of the conference is from Zhejiang, with a Ningbo accent of Shanghai dialect, soft but full of breath. As soon as people heard him speak, they immediately stopped talking.
"Sun Yat-sen is the premier, Huang Xing and Li Yuanhong are the assistants, and Li Xiang, Hu Hanmin, Wang Zhaoming, Zhang Ji, Song Jiaoren, Liu Kuiyi, Ping Gang, Tian Tong, Ju Zheng, Ma Junwu and Li Zhaofu are the officers. It was announced that the alliance would be officially reorganized into a political party.
Then select the representatives of the provincial branches, and select Tan Renfeng (Hunan), Jiang Yiwu (Hubei), Xiong Kewu (Sichuan), Lu Zhiyi (Yunnan), Deng Jiayan (Guangxi), Zhang Shiqi (Guizhou), Chen Zifan (Fujian), Lin Zhimian (Guangdong), Zhang Gong (Zhejiang), Zhang Zi (Jiangsu), Sun Yuyun (Anhui). , Zhong Zhenchuan (Jiangxi), Jing Bu Mu (Shaanxi), Jing Yaoyue (Shanxi), Huang Fusheng (Beijing and Tianjin), Xu Jingxin (Shandong), Zhang Qian (Henan), Huang Yue (Gansu), Yang Dashi (Fengtian), Dong Gengyun (Jilin), Zhang Tongbo (Shanghai), Jiang Jieshi (Huzhou), Wanxiang Spring (Xinjiang), etc. Three people are responsible for presiding over local branches.
The headquarters organized by Sun Yat-sen to appoint Wang Jingwei and Zhang as general affairs, Ma He and Tian Tong as documents, and Ju Zheng Ren's property and Ma Shi to carry out conference work. After this headquarters meeting, the League will be reorganized into an open political party.
At the end of the meeting, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to congratulate Li. Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu and Xinjiang are all people in his bag. Even Li Yuanhong is his puppet, which is the first real power of the alliance.
Sun Yat-sen affectionately took Li Xiang's hand and introduced him to the alliance group of heroes. Everyone's names were like thunder, and they were all celebrities in history.
Sun Yat-sen introduced a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and said, "This is Mr. Huang Sande from Hongmen Zhigongtang. Brother Sande has a high status in Zhigongtang. The Alliance has been exercising in North and South America over the years and is supported by Brother Sande. When I went to the United States, I was plotted by the royalist party, and my entry was blocked. It was also rescued by Brother Sande that I was able to enter the country smoothly. Brother Sande's reputation among the Chinese in North and South America is unmatched.
Huang Sande looked at Li Xiang indifferently and said modestly, "It's too much. When I heard about the conspiracy of the royalist party and the Qing consul, all the overseas Chinese were indignant. Sir is what people want. Then he smiled at a handsome young man beside him and said, "In terms of prestige among the Chinese in North and South America, you have to leave Feng Rishi's nephew to be majestic."
Feng Ru hurriedly and modestly.
"Feng Ru?!" Li wanted to exclaim and hurried to greet him politely.
"Li Shuai also heard of Feng Jun's name in China?" Sun Yat-sen couldn't help asking.
"Your reputation has soared into the world." Li wanted to laugh and quoted the comments of European and American newspapers: "Two years ago, San Francisco held an international flight competition. Mr. Feng flew his newly designed aircraft to participate in the competition, breaking the world record of the first international flight competition held in France a year ago with a flight altitude of more than 700 feet and a speed of 65 miles per hour, respectively. Excellent prize, you have put wings on the Chinese dragon.
Sun Yat-sen smiled and said, "Feng Jun is also an expert in the development of advanced mechanical and electrical equipment such as pumps, pile drivers, generators, wired telephones and radios. San Francisco Voice News called him "a very famous mechanic and inventor", "San Francisco Investigator" Feng Jun is also praised as "the genius inventor of Auckland."
At this time, Feng Ru smiled modestly and said, "I have always thought that it is more urgent and important to set up the aircraft manufacturing industry. Now is the era of fierce competition. In the Italian-Tustani War, we know that aircraft have become an indispensable military equipment. If we can build millions of aircraft and stationed in China's ports, it is enough to strengthen China's national defense, and foreign powers will no longer dare to bully us!"
"In terms of China's manufacturing industry, Wuhan ranks first." Li wanted to turn around, and his tone was really full of devilish **. "You may not know that Hanyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory has close cooperation with Swiss Sulzer, the world's top internal combustion engine manufacturer."
"It's incredible!" Feng Ru exclaimed that he knew the status of Swiss Sulzer in the field of motivation, and he knew how difficult such cooperation was. How did you persuade the upper level of Swiss Surzer to cooperate with you?
"Money!" Li Xiang said proudly, "In order to show the potential of the internal combustion engine to the world, the president of Sulzer, Switzerland is going to increase the research and development funds of the internal combustion engine, but the board of directors does not recognize his plan. I am willing to provide funds to help him, and they naturally agreed to my cooperation plan."
Feng Ru's eyes sparkled: "If they can provide technical support for their patented technology, my aircraft's navigation ability can be doubled again, no! Twice, or even three times!"
"Cut! Supersonic is not a dream!" Lixiang laughed and said, "In Hanyang Machinery Manufacturing Factory, Sulzer's patented technology has manufactured a 6-cylinder two-cylinder two-stroke diesel engine with a huge cylinder diameter of 700 mm and a stroke of 1,200 mm. This is the world's largest cylinder diameter diesel engine and the world's top internal combustion engine manufacturing technology."
"This huge internal combustion engine can't fly." Feng Ru shook her head.
"This kind of top motivation can be manufactured, and we can naturally make light gasoline engines. Hanyang has begun to mass-produce cars, and the gasoline engines used are all produced by our own China." Li thought: "The research and development of high-power internal combustion engines is actually of another use. A total of four of these high-power machines have been built, all of which have been installed on the "Changfeng" cruise ship of Jiangnan Civil Shipyard."
"The four are all installed on the cruise ship. How big is the 'Changfeng' cruise ship?" Feng Ru marveled again.
Li Xiang said proudly: "The total tonnage is more than 32,650 tons, with a total power of 28,000 horsepower. The captain is 219 meters, 25 meters wide and 4 axes. The speed is expected to reach 22 knots, carrying 2,210 passengers, and the interior decoration is luxurious. The launching ceremony will be held at the Shanghai Civil Shipyard next Tuesday, and I would like to invite you first. After the launching ceremony, I will take this cruise ship to Surat by the way.
"The tonnage and speed are only a little smaller than that of the Titanic, but yesterday the world's major newspapers reported that the world's largest ship of 46,000 tons was very unlucky to hit an iceberg and sank in the Atlantic Ocean." Feng Ru shrugged her shoulders and said, "After the Changfeng is put into the water, it will definitely become the world's largest ship."
Li Xiang blinked his eyes. He saw this shocking news in the newspaper.
"My Marshal Li!" Sun Yat-sen paused there and said, "You have money to build the world's number one super luxury cruise ship. Why don't you build a world's number one cruiser?" It's really unindustry! If this Changfeng is a cruiser, it is more deterrent than Haiqi, Haichen, Haichou, Hairong, and all the four seas cruisers to Surai!"
"My mentor!" Li wanted to blink his eyes and said, "Have you forgotten the technical blockade of our technology in the Western world? If I say to build a warship, no matter how much money I spend, no Western company is willing to cooperate with us. In the mainstream of the world, there has always been a prejudice that diesel engines are not suitable for large ocean-going ships. Internal combustion engines have not been recognized by the mainstream world that use steam engines. I took advantage of them to get the top technology of internal combustion engines from Sulzer, which really wants to prove the potential of internal combustion engines. However, as long as I digest these technologies, I can immediately use the technology of making cruise ships to make warships.
"It's my heart that I'm in a hurry." Sun Yat-sen looked at Feng Ru with a smile, "Feng Jun, what do you think?"
"Come to Wuhan, that's where your dream is to fly." Li wanted to see the wind immediately and said solemnly, "With China's first industrial foundation, you can definitely build the world's first-class aircraft!" Use your own skill to serve the motherland.
"Contributing my weak talents to the motherland is exactly the wish of my life!" Feng Ru's blood surged up and patted his chest. I originally wanted to go back to Guangdong, but Mr. Zhongshan had always recommended you to me before. Now I finally know why Mr. Zhongshan recommended you to me.
Li Xiang nodded happily and turned to Sun Yat-sen and said, "Thank you, mentor."
"I firmly believe," said Sun Yat-sen, "only in your place can Feng Jun show his strengths."
Li Xiang and Sun Yat-sen walked out of the first stage of the third archway.
"Have you decided on the cabinet staff?" Li wanted to ask suddenly.
"I'm still arguing."

Shanghai, Xiyintang, back garden pavilion.
Zhao Fengchang wore a moon-white poplin trousers and a pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes on his feet. He lay on a rattan chair, holding fragrant tea in his hand, and his eyes were slightly closed. He was listening to a letter from Yuan Shikai, Zhang Qian, a champion.
Zhang Qian said, "... The League insists that the Prime Minister of the Cabinet must be a member of the League. After the Prime Minister's approval, the Prime Minister will propose a full list of cabinet members and invite senators to vote. Yuan refused to accept such an arrangement. The two sides did not give in to each other and remained in a stalemate for many days. How about it? Beg for a quick sign."
Zhao Fengchang slowly sips the fragrant tea, then put the tea bowl on the tea table next to the rattan chair and said to Zhang Qian, "Tell Xiang Cheng, I think the first cabinet of the new president is a bridge between the new and the old presidents, so the Prime Minister of State must be the person who the two new and old presidents trust together. I think only Mr. Shaochuan is the most appropriate. As long as Mr. Sun and Mr. Huang don't object, I really want to persuade Mr. Shaochuan to join the alliance as a member. This is the way for both sides.
............
Beijing, Yuan Shikai's private residence.
Yuan Shikai looked angry and said to Tang Shaoyi, who was sitting, "The Senate opened a new cabinet member's case, and also wanted to push Huang Xing to manage the army. Qin Zhen, a member of the alliance, sent an urgent telegram from Nanjing to Shanghai newspapers and said: Organizing a section of the cabinet, Yuan Gong proposed that cabinet members are all dead and old officials, and there is no pure new people who are not good. Here, the military, politics, academic, Business people from all walks of life are unsistful, and the dark tide is surging. Finding a unified government with a mixture of the North and the South is likely to break up and out of control. Your newspaper presides over public opinion is the most valuable. It is the best to maintain it and make Yuan Gong wake up. In order to integrate the feelings of the North and the South as the key to today's emergency, we must not follow private fraud. The failure of the new republics of the five major ethnic groups is in a tragic situation of division. I can't wait to it."
Tang Shaoyi pondered for a moment, and he came up with a good idea: "I support the cabinet list drawn up by the president, but because the Southern Army strives that the commander-in-chief of the army must be Huang Xing, Duan Qirui can be changed to the chief of the general staff."
Military power is Yuan Shikai's lifeblood. He said angrily, "Anything can be allowed, but this can't be allowed!"
"In this case, Duan Qirui will be the chief of the army and Huang Xing will be the chief of staff."
Yuan Shikai nodded: "This still needs to be mediated by Xiyintang."
Tang Shaoyi added: "The president left several ministries in the south to decide by the south itself, which is a very respectful practice of the south. However, the presidents of these ministries will not be grateful to the president in the future. They will only be grateful to their own parties. It's better to be nominated by the president, of course, the Revolutionary Party. In this way, they will be grateful to the president.
Yuan Shikai smiled and said, "Shaochuan, you are so shrewd. Don't use the power of the Prime Minister to trick me in the future!"
Tang Shaoyi was shocked and then smiled and said, "How can it be? If you don't mean it, you will be removed from my post with a word!"
Yuan Shikai put away his smile and said, "Okay, don't gossip, just do as you do. Let me mention a few names, and you can think about it.
Yuan Shikai touched his beard, thought for a while, and said, "The last time you came back from Shanghai, you said that Wang Chonghui was young and successful. After graduating from the law department of Beiyang University, he got a doctorate in law in the United States. Then let him be the chief justice!" Song Jiaoren, the son-born, I think he is strange and vulgar. He has been in an important position in the revolutionary party for a long time, and this time he is a special envoy. Let him be the chief of agriculture and forestry!"
Tang Shaoyi hurriedly complimented: "The two candidates for the president are well mentioned, especially Song Jiaoren. His last Director of Internal Affairs was not approved by the southern government. He must be very grateful to the president for mentioning his name this time."
"There is a Chen Qimei in the revolutionary party. Sun Wen didn't use him last time. In fact, this person is worth using. He is the revolutionary party and the leader of the Youth Gang. The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce is controlled by the Youth Gang. He has mastered the Youth Gang, and the Chamber of Commerce is in his hands. Shanghai accounts for one-third of China's industry and commerce, and it is most appropriate for Chen Qimei to be the president of industry and commerce.
Yuan Shikai's understanding of Chen Qimei surprised Tang Shaoyi. Because Chen Qimei is not very famous among the leaders of the revolutionary party, Tang Shaoyi herself does not know the identity of Chen's youth gang leader. The political talent of this old boss is really unreachable. Tang Xinyue said sincerely, "The president's talent for knowing and employing people is not as good as Shaoyi. Chen Qimei is more than Zhang Jian.
Yuan Shikai said complaedly, "Shaochuan, the key to the leader Qunlun is to know and use people. In this regard, only Zeng Wenzheng has been at home in recent times. You will be the prime minister and the administrative leader in the future. You should read the complete works of Zeng Wenzheng. This book can teach you a lot.
Tang Shaoyi said, "The president's words are actually Jin Yuliang's words. I have browsed the Complete Works of Zeng Wen Zhenggong in the past, but I haven't read them carefully. In the future, I will follow the president's instructions and read them well."
" Shaochuan, let's talk about any other opinions."
"President, Shao Yi wants ten departments in the cabinet, and only three in the south. They may be too few. The Ministry of Education is a cold government. We might as well be generous and let them go. Moreover, there is a ready-made education chief in the south, which is extremely popular. It's a pity not to give up him.
"You mean Cai Yuanpei!" Yuan Shikai touched his blue cheek and said, "I think Cai Yuanpei does have a graceful and quiet scholarly. As a revolutionary party, it is really rare to have this kind of endowment, and he was born in Hanlin. It is very good to be the head of education. It's just that Yang Du has also made a lot of efforts and should be paid heavily. He used to be the deputy minister of the department, and now it is also appropriate to be the head of education. He is very angry with books. It's not appropriate to be another president, and he can only be educated, which is suitable for both people and the earth.
Tang Shaoyi said: "Yang Duchang's education is certainly good, but compared with Cai Yuanpei, his qualifications are much worse. Cai is Hanlin from Qianqing, and he has also supervised the school, which are better than Xizi. In addition, the most important thing is that the South must think that the three departments are missing and should be increased. What if they ask for the Army Department?
Tang Shaoyi's words moved Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai employs people. From the perspective of his background, Cai Yuanpei, who was born in Hanlin, is indeed higher than Yang Du, who is only famous. Besides, if you want to give up a department, there is only education. Not only is the Ministry of the Army not allowed to give up, but also other naval, diplomatic, internal affairs, finance and transportation departments are key departments, none of which can be allowed. Well, there is only the aggrieved.
