On April 8, 1913, the first Congress of the Republic of China was officially convened in Beijing, and the Provisional Senate was dissolved on the same day.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ¡ª¡ªOf course, this site did not originally belong to the Zizhengyuan, but the school building of the Jingshi Law School. Because the Jingshi Law School merged with the Jingshi School of Law and Politics and the Jingshi School of Finance to form the Beijing Vocational School of Law and Politics, this school building became vacant and was renovated. It is the venue of Zizhengyuan. ¡ª¡ªNow the official Congress has two chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The number of people has approached the thousand-person mark, so it is naturally impossible to crowd together for meetings.
¡° Smart people thought of this as early as the beginning of last year¡¯s congressional election. After approval by the cabinet and the Presidential Office, it was decided that the Senate, which has a small number of people, would still use the former site of the former Qing government. As for the House of Representatives, which has a larger number of people, the former Finance School building on the east side of the Zizhengyuan was converted into a auditorium as the office location of the House of Representatives. The meeting was held here on the first day.
On this day, the wind was light, the clouds were clear, the sun was warm, and the five-color flags were hung in the streets and alleys of the capital, giving it an atmosphere of the National Day of later generations. Starting at 9 a.m., members of the House of Representatives, dressed in special uniforms, arrived at the newly built venue of the House of Representatives. Sun Yuanqi, as the president of the Central Society and a celebrity, was also invited to attend the ceremony.
At 11 o'clock before noon, the opening ceremony of the Congress officially began, and the Guards fired a 108-gun salute in salute. Subsequently, Shi Yu, chairman of the Preparatory Congressional Affairs Bureau, reported on the convening process of the Congress, and on behalf of all members, he recommended Yunnan Senator Yang Qiong, the oldest member among the members, to serve as the interim chairman of the meeting.
By the way, Yang Qiong is quite interesting. He was born in the 26th year of Daoguang (1846). It is said that he belongs to a minority (Bai ethnic group). I don't know whether it was because he wasted his time in the examination room or because he realized later that he was a late bloomer. He barely passed the examination until he was forty-five years old. According to the current civil service recruitment regulations, even if he has a doctorate, he will be blocked from the threshold. Fortunately, the Qing Dynasty had relatively relaxed age requirements for civil servants, so he successfully entered the official career and served as a scholar in Jinning Prefecture.
But he soon left officialdom and devoted himself to education. After the Gengzi Revolution, education was launched across the country. Although he was nearly sixty years old, he was still sent to Japan as an envoy to inspect academic affairs. He graduated from the accelerated normal class of Hongbun College in Tokyo and returned to Yunnan to continue his education. If time permits, Sun Yuanqi would like to invite him to give a lecture at Jingshi University to talk about his study experience, so that students can truly understand what "endless learning" means and what "strengthening with old age" means.
Immediately afterwards, Liang Shiyi, the representative of Yuan Shikai and the Secretary-General of the Presidential Office, came to the stage to congratulate and read Yuan Shikai's eulogy, claiming: "The first Congress of the Republic of China was officially established. This is indeed a great honor in the history of more than 4,000 years. Forty million The happiness of mankind for billions of years. Shikai is also a member of the nation, and we should be deeply grateful with all the gentlemen!" Finally, he shouted, "Long live the Republic of China! Long live the Congress of the Republic of China!" It was as if it was another person who proposed to temporarily close the parliament a few days ago, This made Sun Yuanqi feel chilly.
Although the Congress has been convened, you must not expect it to be successfully concluded in ten or twenty days like later generations. In real history, it took six months from the opening of this Congress on April 8 to the election of Li Yuanhong as Vice President on October 7, when all agendas were officially completed. In these six months, they only elected the speaker of the parliament, the president and vice president of the Republic of China, and approved the cabinet list.
What kind of election is this? It¡¯s clearly a hawk!
Throughout Chinese history, it is estimated that only the co-optation of academicians of the two houses of Congress, known as the "first procrastinator in history", can compete with this Congress in terms of procrastination. The co-optation of academicians of the two academies has become the norm since 1991, with co-elections being held every two years and in odd-numbered years. The election starts from the issuance of the notice of nomination of candidates on New Year's Day. It goes through four steps: candidate nomination, selection of responsible departments, academician review, and election. It has to wait until December before it is announced, which takes a full year. Then I have to take a year off. It seems as if every time he is elected, his muscles and bones are strained and he has to take a year of recuperation before he can regain his strength. This shows how procrastinating it is!
At first, Sun Yuanqi repeatedly called on members of his party to actively promote the process of the meeting, but soon he turned to be extremely grateful for the delay in the congressional election, because the next three major events made him fully realize that What a challenging job it was to serve as Prime Minister in the early years of the Republic of China!
In chronological order, the first major event was the increasingly serious Bai Lang rebellion at the end of April and early May.
At the end of last year, in order to avoid Sun Yuanqi, Zhang Zhenfang, the then governor of Henan, left Kaifeng, the provincial capital, and went to southwest Henan to supervise the army in wiping out the Bailang rebels. Facts have proved that it was a complete mistake to have a governor who was not familiar with military affairs command the counter-rebellion.
Bai Lang uses this booknbsp; Soon, the confessions of the two murderers and the correspondence with Hong Shuzu were used as the main evidence in the case and were sent to the Presidential Office, the House of Representatives and the Senate, the State Council, the provincial governors, the civil affairs ministers, and major newspapers. The Kuomintang newspapers published the full text, while the New China Party and Beiyang media tried their best to refute the rumors, and further pointed out that Song Jiaoren's murder was due to internal strife within the Kuomintang and that he died of fratricide. These evidences were purely fabricated for the purpose of framing him. The reaction of the people across the country is that if the evidence is true, it is difficult for Zhao Bingjun and even Yuan Shikai to be involved; as for Sun Yuanqi, he should not be involved in this matter. Even if the student is really the murderer, it is a personal act, and Sun Yuanqi Nothing to do.
?Perhaps, this is the benefit of a good reputation?
After the evidence was released, Sun Yat-sen immediately interrupted his visit to Japan and quickly returned to Shanghai. He held a meeting at the Shanghai Ministry of Communications of the Kuomintang. He strongly advocated the use of force to conquer the north and avenge Song Jiaoren; he also interpreted Yuan Shikai's large-scale loan in the aftermath as an attempt to expand Beiyang. The army attempted to use force to deal with the revolutionary forces in the south. The Kuomintang should fight an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth and strike first.
But opinions within the Kuomintang are not unified. Huang Xing, for example, prefers peaceful solutions. In his view, with the force currently in the hands of the Kuomintang, the Northern Expedition had no chance of winning. Now that Congress is convening, and the evidence of the Song case is in our hands, if we really want to avenge Song Jiaoren, then go north with the evidence to impeach Zhao Bingjun and even Yuan Shikai in Congress. Wouldn't it be more effective and safer?
Of course, the legal faction headed by Huang Xing and the party political faction centered on the Kuomintang congressmen were mercilessly labeled "pro-Yuan" by Ju Zheng, Ma Junwu, Li Liejun and others because they advocated solving problems through legal means. He was accused of being a "sect" and was severely criticized and even threatened with expulsion from the party!
As for Prime Minister Zhao Bingjun, after being splashed with sewage, he had to issue a telegram to defend himself. Unfortunately, it had little effect. Due to strong pressure from public opinion, he had to submit his resignation to Yuan Shikai.
Hearing that Zhao Bingjun submitted his resignation, Sun Yuanqi became worried: These three things mixed together are completely the rhythm of the government's military, financial, and political collapse! If Yuan Shikai approved Zhao Bingjun's resignation and nominated himself as prime minister, would he be able to cope with such a complicated situation? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
