Just when Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces were busy mobilizing troops to enter Hubei, Beijing was also in chaos.
Hubei Senator Zhang Bolie and others received strong support from Sun Yuanqi, and immediately became energetic. After returning, they contacted other comrades in the party, and together with the New China Party members, proposed to the Senate "Interrogating the Government's Shooting of Wuchang's First Rebel General Zhang Zhenwu" to the Senate, demanding that Zhang Zhenwu be cleared. reputation, and impeached Vice President Li Yuanhong to safeguard the country's democracy and the rule of law and set norms for future generations.
There are two voices in the Tongmenghui. The moderate faction represented by Sun Yat-sen and Cai Yuanpei supports the Senate to maintain democracy and defend the law through peaceful means such as negotiation, mediation, and voting; while the radical faction headed by Song Jiaoren advocates the impeachment of Yuan Shikai and Li Yuanhong. The entire cabinet represented by Tang Shaoyi is also jointly and severally responsible, claiming that if the Senate cannot give a satisfactory answer, it will not rule out the possibility of resorting to force.
Li Yuanhong naturally will not sit still and wait for death. As the Vice President of the Republic of China, Governor of Hubei, and Chairman of the Republican Party, he also had his own mouthpiece in the Senate. Seeing that something was wrong, he quickly instigated the senators loyal to him to build up momentum and denounce Zhang Zhenwu's misdeeds, proving that the ruling was not only legal, but also And justice; privately, he used threats of force, bribes with money, official appointments and promises to recruit other senators.
At the same time, dozens of newspapers controlled by Li Yuanhong also launched a propaganda offensive, trying their best to vilify Zhang Zhenwu's image, from self-recruiting the army and snatching food and wages to bewitching sergeants and colluding with bandits, from corruption and conspiracy to form a party to undermining the republic and the prosperity of the country. There were fifteen crimes listed against him. In their opinion, Zhang Zhenwu was absolutely heinous and deserved to die. What's more, some tabloids also attacked Zhang Zhenwu for his problematic lifestyle, including how many concubines he had married, how many fans he kept in brothels, and even when he was a child, he peeped at girls taking baths. In short, Zhang Zhenwu is A bad embryo that is rotten from the ground up.
Yuan Shikai is sitting firmly on Diaoyutai. Whenever he has any questions, he will always pass the responsibility to Li Yuanhong. Secretly, he was fanning the wind and lighting will-o'-the-wisps everywhere. Sometimes he helped Li Yuanhong speak for him, and sometimes he had to uphold the rule of law. He was very busy. The purpose was to muddy the water so that he could fish in troubled waters.
As for Tang Shaoyi, who was still dead but not dead, he naturally could not pretend to be deaf and dumb about the murder of Zhang Zhenwu, especially since the radicals of the Tongmenghui wanted to impeach him. However, it was not stated in the "Provisional Agreement" whether the President's military order should be counter-signed by the Prime Minister. He had to express his regret and condemnation vaguely, and then hid in an American hospital and pretended to be ill.
There was a lot of commotion in the capital, and the happiest people were the journalists. You don't have to go to the door yourself, the unattainable president, vice president, senator, etc. will take the initiative to send their opinion statements to the newspaper. For a time, newspapers and magazines were filled with all kinds of words, some high-minded talks, some criticisms and debates, which seemed very lively. Invisibly, the Zhang Zhenwu case became the focus of public attention across the country, and even major newspapers in Europe and the United States took notice of it.
On the third day after Zhang Zhenwu was killed, due to the pressure of public opinion, the Senate had no choice but to hold a meeting to discuss the bill jointly proposed by Zhang Bolie and other 45 senators.
At the beginning of the meeting, the sponsor Zhang Bolie took the lead in speaking: "The so-called rule of law means that the law is supreme. The government of the Republic of China should rule the country by law and act in accordance with the law. For citizens, only the law can kill people, and only judges who enforce the law can kill people. Everything else is illegal. In the former Qing Dynasty, the rule of man was implemented. What the emperor said was the imperial edict, and what the officials ordered was the law. This led to corruption in the government, darkness in the officialdom, and people's livelihood. In view of this, Sun Yat-sen and Huang Keqiang joined the revolution. , intending to transform the empire into the Republic of China, and change the rule of man into the rule of law, so that the Chinese people will always be free from water and fire. After decades of hard work, they finally got their wish at the end of last year, and the whole country cheered.
"Zhang Junchunshan devoted himself to the revolution in his early years, regardless of hardships and dangers. He was arrested by the Qing court and several people died! However, Zhang Jun remained determined, sold his property to fund the revolution, and actively contacted all parties to prepare for righteousness. After the outbreak of the Wuchang Shou Uprising, He served as deputy minister of the military affairs department of the Hubei military government, acted as minister in charge of military affairs, and fought fiercely with the Qing army. Hanyang was in danger, and he personally led his subordinates to rush to the rescue. During the fierce battle, he was injured and fell into the water, almost drowning. He retreated to Wuchang and assisted Liu Zhongwenjun (Liu Zhongwenjun). Liu Gong) defended the city until the revolution was successful and the Republic of China was established. Zhang Jun had such meritorious service, but because he offended the authorities, he was suddenly arrested in the middle of the night and was shot in prison immediately.
"A few months ago, the Senate enacted the "Provisional Statute", which stipulates that people's bodies shall not be arrested, detained, interrogated, or punished except in accordance with the law. I would like to ask the Military and Political Law Enforcement Office, which law are you based on? Ask the President, Li Song Qing and Duan Zhiquan, in what capacity do you make such a ruling? Can the order signed by two or three of you allow you to shoot people at will? Such lawlessness and disregard of human life is tantamount to violating the agreement andWith the signatures of 45 senators from the Kuomintang, coupled with the strong support of the Alliance and the United Republican Party, we can definitely achieve the "provisional agreement" stipulated in "more than four-thirds of the total members will be present, and more than two-thirds of the total number of votes will be obtained." Under the conditions, Li Yuanhong, the vice president, should be removed.
When they heard that a "vote" was required, the senators who supported Li Yuanhong immediately started making noises. Sun Faxu loudly declared: "If we vote now, we will withdraw immediately!" If they withdraw, the number of attendees will be less than three-quarters of the total, and the vote will naturally be invalid.
Seeing that Sun Faxu and other senators had already stood up, Speaker Wu Jinglian hurriedly said to Xini: "Everyone! Members, please calm down! As the saying goes, 'listen to both, you will be enlightened, but to believe only, you will be concealed.' When we discuss the motion about Zhang Chunshan, the Vice President is involved. If you don't listen, Wouldn't it be contrary to legal procedures and unjust to vote on the Vice President's defense? I think it would be better to end the discussion here today and first send the interrogatory motion to the Vice President and ask him to defend himself. After receiving the reply, How about we discuss the vote?¡±
"Okay!" "Agree!" Sun Faxu and others replied randomly.
In this way, the Senate ended its first meeting on the Zhang Zhenwu case in an anticlimactic manner. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
