"As Brother Baili said just now, the Henan group has already made a name for itself this time. It's time to officially launch the banner of our Young People's Faction. What I want to do next is to bring the Beiyang Young People's Faction to the forefront.
From a concept to an actual organization. We need a group to demonstrate our strength and status. We can no longer be as politically powerless as before. If the central government gives an order, we must restrain our hands." Yuan Su said solemnly.
Said the matter.
Jiang Baili nodded slowly. After listening to Yuan Su's words, he immediately understood what Yuan Su was thinking.
Obviously, many aspects of this trip to Henan went beyond Yuan Su's expectations, such as the capture of Shangqiu and the implementation of the recruitment and surrender policy. Of course, the most obvious one was the arbitrary execution of 18 officers of the 17th Division who committed crimes.
It caused a series of huge repercussions. At that time, he was almost completely isolated by the government and the local government, and even now he has lost a lot of power. It is precisely because of the occurrence of these things that Yuan Su feels increasingly aggrieved.
As a think tank in the same camp as Yuan Su, Jiang Baili also agreed with Yuan Su's launch of the Beiyang Young Faction, with the younger generation of Beiyang as the backbone, and promoted the Beiyang Group to launch reforms from within. It can be said that before, it was just some theories and some like-minded ideas.
But there is nothing tangible and straightforward.
He knew about the Young Zhuang sect, and Yuan Su also knew about the Young Zhuang sect, but others did not know about the Young Zhuang sect.
The development of the Young People's sect requires a process. Some concepts and frameworks were formulated in Beijing, and this time Henan and his party are laying the groundwork and establishing the reputation of the Young People's sect. Everything is going on in a regular manner, and the next step should be
It's time for the powerful group of Young People to make its debut.
"What Governor Yuan said is absolutely true. We should indeed take further action at this time. The three words "Young Zhuang Sect" must surface as soon as possible, so that both the inside of Beiyang and the outside world can know that there is such a thing in the Beiyang government.
A group exists." Jiang Baili said seriously.
"Before, we discussed some programs about the Young Zhuang Sect. Now we not only need to implement these programs and write them into a text of regulations, but also formally establish the form of the Young Zhuang Sect as a group." Yuan Su further said.
"The articles are simple. Leave them to me to draft, and Governor Yuan can rest assured. As for the form of the group, does Governor Yuan have any ideas?" Jiang Baili asked.
"I'm thinking, should we stand up openly and establish a young political party? Or is it just an internal political force like other factions within the Beiyang Group? Of course, we can also refer to some fashionable things abroad.
, set up a club or something." Yuan Su said uncertainly.
In his view, if it is just like other internal political factions in Beiyang, it is obviously nothing new, and it cannot show the determination of the young faction to promote reform. Over time, it will even be assimilated by other factions and become extremely bureaucratic and bureaucratic.
Snobbery. Since we are determined to behave differently, if we can form a political party, it will obviously be more unique, more united and reliable.
However, the party politics initiated by Song Jiaoren have only just eliminated their influence. The Beiyang government and President Yuan Shikai have repeatedly emphasized "non-party politics" and hastily established a political party. Isn't this going against Yuan Shikai? Then it will still happen
How do you claim to be the "Beiyang Young Sect" and how do you get support and funding from Yuan Shikai and the Beiyang Group?
Jiang Baili immediately said: "It is obviously not feasible to establish a political party. Has Governor Yuan forgotten the precedent of Song Xunchu? This is the biggest taboo in the Beiyang government at the moment. As for saying that it is just an internal political force, it seems not good, and it is not
It is difficult to demonstrate our determination, let alone gather strength, not to mention that the so-called political forces are interest groups and are completely inconsistent with our purpose."
Yuan Su nodded in agreement, and said slightly depressed: "That's exactly what happened, so I have been hesitant for so long."
Jiang Baili continued: "As for what kind of clubs to build based on foreign countries, it is actually the same as those interest groups, but they are more united. I think we can't think so comprehensively at the moment, we can only do our best to be more conducive to our development.
Think in the right direction. As long as we can effectively put our program, purpose and principles out and attract more like-minded people to join, the rest can be discussed later."
Yuan Su said: "You are right. In that case, let's use the club as a carrier first and use this club to get our name out there. Anyway, whether the club is open or covert, it can be used to spread the purpose of our group
.”
Jiang Baili had no objection and said: "That's right, let's settle it first."
Yuan Su added randomly: "I even thought of a name, it's simply called Beiyang Young Officers Club."
Jiang Baili thought for a while, nodded slightly and said: "Okay, to be concise and concise, 'Young Officers' just reflects a young group. However, I suggest that it is best to have an actual club address. The headquarters is located in bei jing. In addition, in
Branches have also been set up in large cities within Yuan Dudu's jurisdiction."
Yuan Su agreed and said: "Okay, I will arrange this matter immediately."
Later, the two discussed in depth some details of the actual implementation of the club, including internal activities of the club, how to apply to join the club, how to hold regular gatherings, how to unify the political opinions of the "young faction", etc. In addition,
The core political thoughts of the Young Zhuang faction were formally established. The first is to "promote politics through military affairs", the second is to "unswervingly promote political and military reforms", and the third is to "avoid triggering internal disputes unless it is unavoidable".
The fourth is "Enlightened thinking is the hallmark of the young people."
The reason why he emphasizes military promotion of politics is that Yuan Su knows that in the next few decades, China will be an era in which military personnel are in power. Military power is equal to real power. If you want to have political power, you must first have military power. If you want to have political capital, you must first have military power.
First, there is military capital; secondly, because the Young Zhuang Faction originally lacks a political foundation, and all the resources in its hands are only a few armies; thirdly, the backbone members of the Young Strong Faction will all be soldiers.
The purpose of the Young Zhuang faction was originally to promote Beiyang reform, politics, military and even literati thought. All actions are to improve the Beiyang system so that it can be more in line with the times and more conducive to the development of the country. And this kind of reform thinking will not change because of
Stopping after temporary gains and losses, the key point lies in the four words "unswerving", there is no best, only better.
It is precisely because the Beiyang government has already seen many internal struggles, including the Zhili clique, the Anhui clique, the central Yang clique, the transportation clique, etc., and they are constantly cheating on each other in order to obtain more benefits. The resources consumed and wasted by this kind of internal struggle,
It has always been a very large number. Therefore, the Young Strong Faction must take this as a warning. They should not only allow the Young Strong Faction to fight internally, but also try to avoid fighting with other forces.
As for the last point, the broad sense is just to distinguish the identity of the members of the Young People's sect. You cannot be considered young because you are young, nor can you be considered young because you are old. The definition of being young lies in your thoughts, not your age. As long as you can remain open-minded from beginning to end
By adhering to the ideas and purposes of the Young Zhuang Sect, one can still be a member of the Young Zhuang Sect even at the age of ninety-nine.
