    Cai Yuanpei was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Guangxu¡¯s reign in the Qing Dynasty (1892). He once served as editor of the Hanlin Academy and was a promising young man within the system.  Later, influenced by the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1898 and the Reform Movement of 1898, he turned to the revolution, formed the Liberation Association, and became the vanguard of expelling the Tartars.  In 1905, the Tongmenghui was established and the Guangfuhui was merged into it. He also served as the head of the Shanghai branch of the Tongmenghui.  Regardless of his family background or revolutionary experience, Cai Yuanpei can be said to be a well-known figure in the Tongmenghui.  In terms of seniority, Cai Yuanpei is definitely qualified to enter the cabinet and serve as the top-ranked director-general of a certain ministry.

    "But there are only a dozen seats in the cabinet. If you occupy one, it will be one less for others; if you occupy the front position, others can only sit in the back.  Since Cai Yuanpei must enter the cabinet, everyone naturally hopes that he can move to the back and make room for the empty seat in front.  Moreover, Cai Yuanpei has indeed gained a reputation for establishing education in recent years, and he deserves his title as director-general of education.  At that moment, everyone praised in unison: "Brother Zhan is right, the post of director of education belongs to none other than Brother Jiemin!"

    Cai Yuanpei said: "You are so flattering, Cai is really unworthy of it! In my opinion, the most suitable person to be the director of education in China today is Sun Baixi. Cai is not talented, but he is willing to take the initiative to help fill in the gaps in the Ministry of Education.  .¡±

    Only then did everyone remember that there was a big boss in the west who needed to be appeased. Because he served as the minister of academic affairs in the two cabinets of Yi Kuang and Yuan Shikai, his master and apprentice controlled the three provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Shanxi. In the newly established central government,  He is definitely indispensable, and his position cannot be too low.  No one wants to offend this kind of person who is famous in the central government and powerful in the local area: because they often have a very important voice in government decision-making, they may not be able to help you accomplish anything, but they can easily do it.  Make it impossible for you to accomplish anything.  So I lost my voice for a while.

    Sun Yat-sen naturally remembered the agreement he sent Feng Ziyi to reach with Sun Yuanqi. At this time, he smiled and said: "It is great for Sun Baixi to serve as the director-general of education, but Brother Jiemin is also expected by everyone. Fortunately, Sun Baixi is still serving as the governor of Sichuan, and he will leave in a while.  He is not unemployed, so he can hold the title of Director-General of Education and handle local government affairs in Sichuan; Brother Jiemin serves as the Deputy Minister of Education and has full authority to handle matters related to the Ministry of Education in the central government. In this way, you can get the best of both worlds."

    "The chief takes the name, and the second chief takes the real name? Brother Yixian's method is good!" Everyone praised again in unison, and then struck while the iron was hot and asked: "For the other departments, what advice does brother Yixian have?"

    Sun Yat-sen, however, ignored him and said: "What the Director of Education and the Deputy Minister of Education just said was just a private suggestion by Sun. Now that the provisional central government of the Republic of China has not yet been established, Sun is just an ordinary citizen. How dare you talk nonsense?"  Are official positions in various ministries awarded privately?"

    Chen Qimei said: "Mr. Sun has been determined to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty since he was young, and he has done many great things. He has worked overseas for sixteen years and experienced hardships. With such hard work and great achievements, being elected as the president is a natural and well-deserved one. Now we are drawing up  The candidates for the chief and deputy ministers of various ministries are just prepared for a rainy day, how can it be said to be private appointments?"

    Sun Yat-sen shook his head: "If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, the things will not be accomplished. Although the interim central government is a transitional institution, as the prototype of the future government, it has a lot of relations and cannot be careless. In Sun's humble opinion,  The first step in forming the interim central government is to call the provinces in the name of the preparatory committee and ask each province to send representatives to Shanghai as soon as possible to discuss the formation of the interim central government. Considering the time constraints, some provinces are very remote and difficult to come at the moment. As long as two provinces  The above representatives can start discussing the proposal when they arrive at the meeting, and the final discussion results can be submitted to all representatives for approval."

    Yao Tongyu, the representative of the Zhejiang Governor¡¯s Office, immediately asked: ¡°How will the quota of representatives from each province be allocated?¡±

    In Western countries that implement parliamentary elections, there are various ways to allocate seats for members, many of which are based on the size or population of each administrative district.  If it is distributed according to these two methods, Zhejiang will suffer a lot.

    Sun Yat-sen said: "In the 22 provinces and autonomous regions in the country, each provincial governor's office and consultative bureau will send one representative to attend the meeting. When voting, each province will have one vote. If more than two-thirds of the representatives are present, the vote will be valid. Three representatives will be present at the meeting."  If two-thirds of the votes are in favor, the motion is passed.¡±

    "good!"

    "agree!"

    "Agree!"

    Seventy-eight out of ten people here are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Although these two provinces have prosperous humanities and dynamic economies, they are small in area. Naturally, they strongly agree with the proposal of one vote for each province.

    Chen Qimei immediately stood up and said: "Since everyone agrees with Mr. Sun's proposal, I will send a call to the whole country and schedule a joint meeting of representatives of the provincial governor's offices to be held in Shanghai on the 10th to discuss the organizational structure and personnel of the various ministries of the interim central government."

    Cai Yuanpei also stood up: "I'm with youGet up.  "

    As Cai Yuanpei himself said just now, he rushed to Shanghai mainly for two things: to welcome Sun Yat-sen back to the country and to seek help for Sun Yuanqi.  Now that people have met and words have been spoken, the first thing has been done, but the second thing has been said but has not been said.  Now that the success of the revolution is in sight, everyone is discussing how to seize territory and occupy positions. No one cares about the success or failure of a school outside Beijing.  In this case, what's the point of him staying here?

    Soon, two telegrams from Chen Qimei and Cai Yuanpei were sent to Sun Yuanqi¡¯s desk in Chengdu, Sichuan.  ¡ª¡ªChen Qimei's telegram was naturally about the nationwide telegram convening a joint meeting of representatives of the provincial governors' offices, while Cai Yuanpei's telegram told him in detail about the discussions with Sun Yat-sen.

    Because of the imperial guards' siege of Jingshi University, Sun Yuanqi has been having trouble sleeping and eating these days. Every day, he discusses how to resolve the crisis with Yang Du, Yang Yongtai, Chen Xiangyun and other staff in the Governor's Office.  When I heard that there was a call from Shanghai, I felt refreshed and quickly took it over to read.

    The disheveled Sun Yuanqi read the two telegrams at a glance, and couldn't help sighing and throwing the telegrams on the table: "These revolutionary parties are really able to share adversity and peace! The success of the revolution has not yet been revealed, and they are ready to open a government and build a new government."  Ya, they have been promoted to official positions and have no idea of ??their priorities. No wonder they can't beat Yuan Shikai!"

    Yang Du picked up the telegram from the table and handed it to Yang Yongtai beside him.  The two of them read it with great interest, as if they wanted to find out between the lines the most secret and true thoughts in the heart of the caller.

    What Yang Du was holding happened to be Cai Yuanpei's call. He looked at it and commented: "Sun Dapao is really promising! Don't think he can't raise an army to rebel, he is really good at playing power! Look,  He was not living a stable life in Hong Kong, nor was he training the army in Guangzhou, but he ran to Shanghai empty-handed. There must be something fishy! Sure enough, when he arrived in Shanghai, he neither organized troops for the Northern Expedition nor negotiated peace with Yuan Shikai. He first wanted to prepare for the establishment of a provisional central government. What did he want to do? No  I just want to have some soup on the Jianguo Lihao!

    "Invite all provinces to send representatives to Shanghai within ten days to discuss the formation of an interim central government? Haha, the conspiracy here is simply obvious! Within ten days, representatives from the provinces along the coast of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the Yangtze River rushed to Shanghai. Like Shaanxi  , Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, even if you have wings, you can't fly to Shanghai! However, places along the coasts of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the Yangtze River are the territories of the Sun Dapao Alliance. Is this a coincidence?

    "Considering that some provinces are very remote and difficult to get to at the moment, as long as representatives from two or more provinces attend the meeting, the proposal can be discussed, and the final discussion result can be passed by all representatives? Tsk tsk! Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are within easy reach, right?  Provincial representatives have now begun to discuss the candidate for the president of the provisional central government of the Republic of China?

    "Each province's governor's office and consultative bureau each send one representative to attend the meeting, and each province has one vote when voting. If more than two-thirds of the representatives attend the meeting, the vote is valid. If two-thirds of the representatives present vote in favor, the motion will be passed? So  Calculated, as long as fifteen provinces from the twenty-two provinces and autonomous regions in the country send people to participate in the meeting, the meeting will be considered legal; as long as representatives from ten provinces agree, the voting results will be considered valid. This is not even a majority!"

    Sun Yuanqi frowned and said: "The formation of the provisional central government is for them to make trouble, and we will not interfere. Our most important thing now is how to lift the siege of Jingshi University by the Qing court! Qiu Zhai, now in the 40th  How is the integration of the Six Mixed Integrated Association going?"

    Chen Xiangyun stood at attention and reported in a clear and coherent manner: "Reporting to Master Taiwan, the 46th Mixed Association has been reorganized. The association is under the command of Jiang Zhiqing. It has jurisdiction over the 91st and 92nd Infantry Brigades, as well as the Cavalry Battalion and the Artillery Battalion.  Waiting, the 91st Biao Commander Xue Yangyue, the 92nd Biao Commander Liu Mingzhao, a total of 5,500 people from the entire association, are on standby in Meizhou and Jiading Prefecture. Currently, I am collecting ships to move east along the river as soon as possible. "

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Then let's send as many people as there are boats first! Anyway, the Three Gorges has fast currents and dense reefs, so it's impossible for big boats to move. When the troops arrive in Yichang, Hubei, it won't be too late to slowly move forward as a whole army!"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:

    Sun Yuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Didn't we agree before? Jiang Zhiqing's 46th Mixed Association left Sichuan and went north along the Luhan Line from Hankou, forcing the Beiyang Army to go south; Zhao Jingxing's 44th Mixed Association Part 1  Leaving Tongguan, spying on Henan; Cheng Ziyin's 45th Mixed Association returned to Shanxi, left Pingxingguan and pressed directly against the capital, advancing in three directions to break the siege of Jingshi University. How come it happens again? Now Jingshi University has been overwhelmed by soldiers and is in danger  , there is no need to delay!¡±

    Yang Yongtai replied: "This three-pronged plan is a desperate effort when there is no other way. In fact, many dangers are not fully considered. For example, it is winter and the Yangtze River is in a dry season. How many troops can be transported in the short term?  It is still unknown; at this time, the north of Hankou is still in the hands of the Beiyang Army, and whether it can use the Lu-Han Line is still uncertain; Shaanxi is still facing the attack of two groups of Gansu Army, and I am afraid that it will not be able to spare many troops; Cheng Ziyin  The Ministry has been traveling long distances in the past two months, and it is hard to say how much combat power it has The most important thing is that this move is a desperate move. Once it fails, not only Jingshi University will be in danger, but also Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces will be in danger!" (  To be continued.
