Seeing that Zhao Bingjun's face turned a little blue, Liang Shiyi hurriedly consoled him: "After the Southern Expedition, the strength of our Beiyang faction has been equal to or even greater than that of Sun Baixi. Therefore, no one on the two sides will start a war in the short term. Can start from other aspects and strive to win without fighting. The reason why Sun Baixi wants to stir up trouble in Congress now is that he wants to take advantage of the New China Party's relative advantages in the House and Senate to gain the upper hand in the battle between the two parties. Machine. How can we let him get his wish?
"Sun Baixi is taking frequent actions in Congress, so we should naturally retaliate with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. In fact, what Brother Zhi'an said is an excellent means to solve the current problem, but the current situation is such that using this method is too obvious. And Sun Baixi With strong strength and wide influence, even if we are lucky enough to succeed, we will not be able to escape the power of backlash; once we kill the snake, we will have endless troubles. Therefore, the assassination method is a last resort and should never be used as the first choice!"
Yuan Shikai asked at this time: "Since Yan Sun thinks that assassination is not possible, what do you have in mind?"
Liang Shiyi replied: "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I feel that although Sun Baixi has ulterior motives, he has only proposed a few bills in Congress to secretly obstruct the presidential election. After all, he has not betrayed his face and has not broken any laws or disciplines. If If we react too fiercely, we will easily fall into the blame of others. In my humble opinion, the best solution for now is to treat the other person the way he wants!"
Yuan Shikai stroked his beard and said: "I would like to hear the details."
Liang Shiyi said: ¡°According to previous statistics, the Kuomintang¡¯s seats in the House of Representatives and the Senate slightly exceeded that of the New China Party, and it was the well-deserved largest party in Congress. However, due to Song Dunchu¡¯s assassination and Sun Yixian¡¯s rebellion, the Kuomintang was leaderless and the cabinet prime minister The position fell to Sun Baixi. However, the Kuomintang still has unparalleled influence in the Congress and can veto cabinet proposals at any time, which is a serious problem for Sun Baixi's administration.
"Fortunately, Sun Huang and others later launched a rebellion. With the joint efforts of the Marshal and Sun Baixi, the Kuomintang's power in the southern provinces was uprooted. The Kuomintang members also became a rootless tree and a sourceless water, and they no longer have the confidence to serve in Congress. Confront the New China Party. This time the New China Party proposed to sanction the Kuomintang and expel some Kuomintang members. In addition to intending to hinder the presidential election, its original intention was to take the opportunity to weaken the Kuomintang's strength and dominate the House and Senate!"
Yuan Keding said angrily: "Killing two birds with one stone? Adding insult to injury? That guy Sun Yuanqi is actually so vicious. Thanks to the strong support of Song Dunchu and the Kuomintang for his rise to power, now he actually bites back the enemy with kindness. It's really a shame!"
Liang Shiyi said: "What the young master said is absolutely true. Sun Baixi's behavior really made the Kuomintang full of indignation and resentment. But this is good news for us. Now that Song Dunchu's soul has returned to Quanli, Sun Huang has fled to Japan, and the Kuomintang is in There are already signs of disintegration under the pressure of the New China Party. The strong want to tangle with fellow party members to establish their own factions, while the weak want to wait for a price and change their affiliation. Now we only need to establish a new party based on the members who are inclined to the commander-in-chief, and then take advantage of the opportunity. Kuomintang members. It may not be impossible for them to compete with the New China Party in Congress!"
Zhao Bingjun¡¯s mind couldn¡¯t help but tremble: If the new party established can really gather most of the Kuomintang members, it will indeed have the qualifications to challenge the New China Party, and it is even possible to challenge Sun Yuanqi from power. Who will be the prime minister of the cabinet at that time? Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked: "What Yan Sun said is very reasonable, but we also had enemies with the Kuomintang during the Southern Expedition, and they may not be willing to accept our solicitation. Moreover, the decline of the Kuomintang is obvious to all. The New China Party and others will definitely We will also try our best to win over them, but we may not be able to gain an advantage in the competition."
Liang Shiyi said: "Members of Congress travel north and south, shouting everywhere, what are they doing? Are they just for fame and fortune? As long as we start with these two words, there is no need to worry about not attracting Kuomintang members! Although the New China Party treats members It is generous, but it has strict disciplines and many rules. It will punish the slightest violation. I believe that many members can't stand the constraints of those frames and will not look for trouble. Other parties do not have so many rules, but it is difficult to make them easily. A price that satisfies the congressmen. After all comparisons, only ours is the best choice!
"As for the enmity between us and the Kuomintang, Brother Zhi'an doesn't have to worry about the so-called 'one moment and another'. And now that the New China Party proposes to expel some Kuomintang members, it is the best time for us to use our means to win over and divide them. Those who obey us will be favored and rewarded generously, and those who disobey us will be expelled from Congress. We can even punish some of the leading figures of the Kuomintang who have always been in strong opposition to the commander-in-chief to serve as a warning to others, so that they know how powerful they are!"
Yang Shiqi clapped his hands and praised: "Commander, as Yan Sun said, the best way to solve the problem at present is to form a political party, attract members, and control the Congress. This is like setting up a network and pulling out the leaders. As long as we firmly If we firmly control the Congress, issues such as presidential elections and constitution-making can be solved.It is easy to solve it with a knife, even to depose Sun Baixi and reorganize the cabinet. "
Yuan Shikai nodded with satisfaction: "Yansun's plan is very clever. It is dignified and upright without losing contingency. He assesses the situation and has a high position! It's just that Sun Baixi is pressing harder. It's too late for us to start setting up a political party now, isn't it?"
Liang Shiyi replied respectfully: "Commander, the Kuomintang has not yet collapsed. It is the right time to form a political party! In fact, a few months ago, Situ Ying, the president of Qianshe, Zhu Zhaoxin, the president of Jiyishe, and Li Qingfang, the president of the Comrades Association Others approached Liang because of his hometown relationship, hoping that Liang would come forward to form a political party to jointly fight against the Kuomintang and the New China Party. At that time, because I was the Secretary-General of the Presidential Palace, I politely declined. If the commander agrees, I can come forward to contact you. They form the party together. With them as the foundation, we can definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"
Hearing Liang Shiyi's request to come forward to form a party, Zhao Bingjun suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart, and hurriedly interjected: "Commander, since we want to form a party, with our strength we can build tall buildings from flat ground, why do we need to rely on others? And Yan Yan Sun Xiandi holds an important position as the Secretary-General of the Presidential Office. He is busy with official duties and has many things to deal with every day. If he makes a slight mistake and ends up making rice with rice and delaying the commander-in-chief's important affairs, wouldn't it become the proverb of 'taking small gains and suffering big losses'? At that time, it will be added Correction is only half the result with half the effort!¡±
Liang Shiyi did not defend himself, but bowed slightly to Zhao Bingjun with a smile, and then respectfully waited for Yuan Shikai's ruling.
Yuan Shikai waved his hand: "Although what Zhi'an said is reasonable, the current situation is urgent and cannot be elaborated. We have to follow the authority in a hurry. Therefore, the matter of forming the party is left to Yansun to contact Qianshe, Jiyishe and other societies. Well, after all, he is more familiar with the situation! After the party is formed, contact the Kuomintang members as soon as possible, and the matters at the presidential palace can be relaxed a little, so as to achieve early results."
"Yes!" Zhao Bingjun and Liang Shiyi replied in unison. Zhao Bingjun looked calm, but when he lowered his head, his eyes showed a bit of cruelty and resentment. When he raised his head again, he had returned to his original state, and there was no trace of anything abnormal.
Yuan Shikai asked again: "Yansun, it is not easy to form a party and gather a crowd, especially those congressmen. They all look as pure as water, but secretly they are as filthy as mud. They are not easy to deal with. You are coming forward this time. Are there any requirements for forming a party? We might as well put it forward now."
Liang Shiyi stood up and replied: "It is true that as the commander-in-chief said, all the members of Congress are very high-spirited. There will definitely be a lot of unreasonable demands in the future, and they will inevitably trouble the commander-in-chief. But the most critical issue right now is the issue of funding. Since Commander-in-Chief, I will boldly request that the Presidential Office temporarily allocate 600,000 yuan as a party formation fund."
600,000 yuan! Still on hold!
Everyone couldn¡¯t help but take a breath, and Yuan Keding couldn¡¯t help shouting: ¡°600,000 yuan? Why so much? This money is enough to equip an organizer! Do those congressmen want to get rich by blackmailing us?¡±
Yuan Shikai shouted angrily: "You are so outrageous, who told you to speak? Since Secretary-General Yansun said this, he must have his own reasons. How can you ignorant juniors understand it? Since you don't know the depth of it, you still dare to talk nonsense, Have you learned all the teachings I taught you in the past? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will have you beaten with a stick!"
Yuan Keding then closed his mouth angrily.
Yuan Shikai can reprimand, but that does not mean Liang Shiyi can offend. Liang Shiyi then explained with a smile: "The young master is right, 600,000 yuan can indeed equip an organizer, but if this huge sum of money is used well, the results achieved will be no less than that of an organizer! Perhaps the eldest young master will have questions, why does it cost so much money to form a party? In fact, the money is not much at all. Liang is still careful with his budget, otherwise it will cost three to five times more!
"Young master, if we want to control the National Assembly, our newly formed political party must at least have more members than the New China Party and occupy more than one-third of the seats in the National Assembly. In other words, we must win over at least about 300 members. Members. 600,000 yuan was divided among 300 members, and each of them got 2,000 yuan, which was not even enough to buy a new GM car!
"Furthermore, when we win over those congressmen, it is not as simple as simply asking them to get party cards and name themselves in the party. We also need them to vote for us in key votes. This means that we can only use inducements, not Intimidation. Otherwise, if they rebel during the vote, they will have no regrets! So 2,000 yuan per member is not much at all, and 600,000 yuan can only be regarded as an initial investment."
Yang Shiqi sighed: "No wonder the New China Party is now the dominant party in the Congress. It turns out that in addition to military power, it also needs strong financial support!"
After hearing this, Yuan Shikai waved his hand and said: "If Sun Baixi is willing to give up such a huge sum of money, how can Yuan be stingy? In this case, I will temporarily allocate 900,000 yuan as a party formation fund. I would rather we have less money."?We can't treat those congressmen too harshly. Yuan hoped that Yansun would let go and succeed as soon as possible! "(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
