wChapter 123

What does it mean? Let’s explain it. The Revolution of 1911 only overthrew the Qing Dynasty, but failed to realize capitalism in China. The result was greater social turmoil and more misery in people’s lives.

From an ideological point of view, Zhang Shizhao, who once devoted himself to the revolution, saw a fatal hidden danger in the revolutionary party, which only focused on action and ignored theory. This is probably the theoretical basis for him to draw the above conclusion, and this is probably why he refused to join the Tongmenghui.

That’s the reason. (A family statement)

"Why did Mr. Zhang come to Wuhan?" Fang Jianxiong's understanding is somewhat biased. It focuses more on the fact that revolutionaries have no long-term plan for doing things, are eager for success in the revolution, and lack the patience to accumulate strength in a down-to-earth manner. In any case,

, just such a sentence made Fang Jianxiong full of respect for the person in front of him. This person is an outstanding person.

"Study hard and save the country!" Zhang Shizhao gave a four-word answer and looked calmly at the young man opposite him. He is the most influential figure in the world today and the one with the greatest possibility of being at the helm of this country in the future.

"In this way, as long as the position in the autonomous region is related to education, Mr. Zhang can choose it at will." Fang Jianxiong's grand words made Zhang Shizhao stunned. He thought that the young man was a bit squeamish after all, but unexpectedly it was this answer.

"When I was in Japan, the people I came into contact with didn't think highly of you. Now it seems that hearing is false and seeing is believing. With your current strength, after defeating Beiyang, there is no need to buy the support of the Democratic Party.

Can you tell me why I want to negotiate with the Democratic Party to govern jointly?" Zhang Shizhao put away his calm expression and revealed a strange look.

Fang Jianxiong smiled and waved his hand and said: "Mr. Zhang, I don't care about the doctrine or the person. As long as they are talented people, as long as they do things that are beneficial to this country and this nation, I can use them with confidence and boldness. In today's China,

There is not an abundance of new talents, but a serious shortage. Therefore, the autonomous region must expand education and cultivate a large number of science and engineering talents. If the country wants to be strong, industrialization is an inevitable way. Without the support of a large number of science and engineering talents, industrialization can only be

It’s a joke. China is too far behind the rest of the world. We must concentrate all our efforts to catch up. So, in my opinion, education is the top priority for the country in the future.”

He was not excited when he said it. Those who listened stood up excitedly, clapped their hands and said: "You're right, education is the country's top priority. In that case, I just go to the university to teach." After saying this, Zhang Shizhao excitedly held Fang Jianxiong's hands. Of course,

This excitement is not new now, but was born last night. The reason is simply that the autonomous region is the only place that implements five-year compulsory education. This alone is enough to make Zhang Shizhao tempted.

"No, being a teacher is an underachievement." Fang Jianxiong responded with a smile, and Zhang Shizhao was stunned for a moment and said: "The new Republic of China is about to be born. I think you will be qualified to be the director of education. The current regime model of the autonomous region

, it’s just a time for rights and interests. After the birth of the Republic of China, the autonomous regions should be abolished. By then, five years of compulsory education will be implemented across the country. Sir, you have a lot to do.”

"Yes, there is a lot to be done!" Zhang Shizhao was so excited by this statement that Zhang Shizhao knew very well how difficult it is for the government to implement compulsory education at this stage. It can be said that if he really became the chief, there would be many things waiting for him to do.

.

When the two were chatting happily, Yin Weijun came in from the door, smiled and then retracted his head. Fang Jianxiong raised his hand and called out: "If you have anything to do, come in." Yin Weijun came in, expressionless, and said with complicated eyes: "Mr. Sun is here.

, and brought someone with me.”

Fang Jianxiong naturally knew who the person he brought was, and he immediately smiled at Zhang Shizhao and said: "Mr. Zhang, I have something else to do. Let's talk about this today. I will visit you in person another day to have a good chat about how to improve education.

"

Zhang Shizhao said goodbye, and Fang Jianxiong didn't even stop when he walked out of the door. Fang Jianxiong turned around and went to the reception room instead of waiting in the office. When Fang Jianxiong pushed the door in, Xu Shichang's eyes were dazzled by the light, and when he saw clearly who came in, he felt in his heart

He couldn't help but jump excitedly. He never expected that Fang Jianxiong would take the initiative to see him. Even though Xu Shichang was a former Qing cabinet minister, he was also a famous minister in the Beiyang government. That is all in the past. Today

, in front of Fang Jianxiong, who can and who dares to trust him? If Xu Shichang has no utilitarianism, he can come out to clean up the mess during the Beiyang period and become the so-called president?

To put it bluntly, Xu Shichang also has to think about the future, otherwise he may not be able to visit Wuhan in person.

"Fuguo is here. This is Brother Jinlan, Xu Juren, who is my teacher. Please call me Uncle Shi." Sun Baoqi did not expect that Fang Jianxiong would come here in person. There was really no such statement before. Fang Jianxiong's coming here was just a temporary move.

, but also to see if the former Qing Dynasty could succeed. In the political arena of the late Qing Dynasty, people such as Xu Shichang, Cen Chunxuan, Zhao Erxun, Zhao Erfeng, Zhu Jiabao, and even Duan Fang were all very capable figures.

If the Democratic Party has the majority of new talents, then most of the practical and experienced talents are in Beiyang. Let’s put it this way, the failure of Beiyang does not lie in the people, but in the system. Fang Jianxiong’s thirst for talents is unimaginable by others.

.The more time-travelers come to this era, the more they have a strong desire for talents. Talents are indispensable for doing anything. Without talents, no matter how big a business is, it will have no roots.

As long as they are talented people and can do things well within the institutional framework, you don't care how they behave and do things?

Xu Shichang, let alone a distant man, safeguarded national interests very well when he was the governor of Northeast China. Among the ministers of the Qing Dynasty, this was a very remarkable thing. In addition, he vigorously promoted the New Deal and showed strong practical ability.

Fang Jianxiong thought very clearly that there are many talents in Beiyang. No matter what the future results are, these talents must see hope.

Sun Baoqi understood Fang Jianxiong's meaning almost instantly, so he cooperated with the introduction.

"I've met Xu Shishu. It's been a hard journey. Your name is like thunder. However, Shishu was in the cabinet at that time and Jianxiong was in his last years, so we didn't have the opportunity to meet him." Fang Jianxiong's words were true. They seemed to be ridiculing, but in fact they were.

He patted Xu Shichang's ass without leaving any trace.

Xu Shichang was also good at talking. He stood up with a smile, but he didn't dare to sit down and accept this gift. "Supporting the country is embarrassing to my uncle. Compared with you, what does my fame mean?" This is the old-school style. First of all,

Firstly, he is tactful, and secondly, he has an upright and peaceful demeanor. Generally speaking, Xu Shichang behaves neither arrogantly nor arrogantly.

After being polite and everyone sat down, Xu Shichang did not hide anything and went straight to the topic: "Fuguo, I came to Wuhan here, entrusted by Weiting, to find a decent ending for Beiyang."

When these words came out, Fang Jianxiong was shocked. He thought that Yuan Shikai was going to pretend to be the former president and use it as a bargaining chip. Feeling that it was a bit unreal, Fang Jianxiong naturally showed a trace of hesitation and did not immediately

After receiving these words, Xu Shichang seemed to have predicted it. When he saw this, he sighed: "Weiting's body may not last long, and there is no one among his sons to rely on. If Weiting is alive for one day, Beiyang can still be stable for one day. He

If we go, Beiyang will be in chaos."

Xu Shichang's words are very insightful. In actual history, Beiyang was divided into the direct Anhui clique and a supernumerary Beiyang Fengcian. The civil war was endless. The warlords fought in a melee, and the ordinary people suffered. From this

Historically speaking, as far as this issue is concerned, Zhang Shizhao is not within Beiyang. He can see the future turmoil just from the perspective of the revolutionary party. This man is amazing. This further strengthened Fang Jianxiong's determination to use these talents.

"Since Uncle Shi has said so, I will give it the right word. No matter it is the Beiyang group or any other faction. In short, the future Republic of China should be a country that relies on laws and systems. As long as it is talented, it can get things done.

Okay, within the scope of the system, no matter what you do,

Success or failure will be measured by laws and systems." Xu Shichang understood Fang Jianxiong's words very clearly. The meaning is very simple. The rules are formulated by someone else. Everyone can be useful within the scope of the specifications as long as they do not cross the line.

In the land of martial arts, as long as you are talented, he will use you.

"Let's talk about Weiting. After all, he is the president elected by the Senate of the Republic of China." Xu Shichang put away his newly born joy and negotiated with a serious face. This is the main purpose of coming here.

"It's very simple. The matter is divided into two steps. The first is the military step. The Northern Defense Force takes over the defense of Beiyang, and the national army is reorganized and unified into the National Defense Force. The second step is that the president is unwell and takes the initiative to resign from the Senate. With the approval of the Senate, he will step down.

The vice president temporarily acts as the president. Third, the establishment and improvement of the political system. If nothing else happens, the new Republic of China will adopt a presidential system. Although the cabinet system is also a communist system,

However, if placed in China, it will definitely lead to disputes between the government and the Yuan Dynasty. Fourth, five years is a presidential term. After the president steps down, a new election will be held within half a year. Taking into account the national conditions, within 20 years

, the general election will produce the House of Representatives and the Senate, and then the two houses will elect a new president. Twenty years later, there will be a national popular vote. Finally, I would like to declare that I will not participate in the presidential election in the second presidential election."

Fang Jianxiong said a lot, and on the surface it seemed to be a core idea, allowing Yuan Shikai to step down in the most honorable way. In fact, he took this opportunity to clarify to Xu Shichang his conception of the future political system of the Republic of China.

"Fuguo, you are an expert at doing practical things. I would like to ask one more question. What are your thoughts on the development of the Republic of China in the next twenty years?" Xu Shichang would ask this. In fact, he had already seen clearly what the future of the Republic of China would be like.

In essence, Fang Jianxiong, who holds the military power, is the one who calls the shots. What?

A democratically elected president is most likely just a show-off. As for not participating in the presidential election, that’s just for show. Anyway, it’s only five years. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
