Seeing the strange color on Tang Shouqian's face, Sun Yuanqi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand me, Mr. Zhe. Although Sun has been busy for years to make a name for himself and make a small profit, he has never thought of being a loner. He just talks about things!"
Tang Shouqian's expression calmed down slightly: "Does Baixi think that the current period is not suitable for a democratic republic?"
Sun Yuanqi said: "Yuan Xiangcheng had a deep conversation with me before. He asked me whether the national situation has become better or worse since the Revolution of 1911. His answer is worse, because after the Revolution of 1911, the central authority lost its authority and the provinces advocated autonomy. , the Congress is constrained at all times, the world's morals are corrupted, etc., resulting in restless people, local separatism, and weak national defense, which are completely signs of the end of the dynasty and the twilight of the empire. Therefore, he advocated suspending learning and imitating various things from the East and West, and not talking about various things in the East and West. For this system, we must first maintain the country's stability, and then we can gradually solve people's livelihood problems based on the country's actual conditions and appropriately draw on Western and Western institutional theories.
"Although Yuan Xiangcheng spoke in anger for a moment, the problems he pointed out and the insights he put forward are thought-provoking. Let me tell you, is the democratic republic system good? Good! Is the democratic republic system useful? It works! But is it suitable to adopt the democratic republic system now? What about the system? This is difficult to answer, because not all good and useful things can be applied everywhere. For example, thousand-year ginseng and ten-year-old Ganoderma lucidum can strengthen the foundation and maintain health for some patients. It is a good medicine, but for other patients, it may be arsenic that seduces the soul and seals the throat at the sight of blood!
"China has experienced thousands of years of imperial rule. In the minds of ordinary people, the idea of ??dictatorship has long been deeply ingrained. The sudden adoption of democracy and republic is confusing. In addition, the system we now adopt is neither a product of local nurturing nor well-thought-out. The result was purely the idea that Sun Yat-sen and others came up with in order to deliberately restrain Yuan Xiangcheng. Therefore, after the government moved north, the cabinet, Congress, the Presidential Office and even the general public suffered greatly. To put it bluntly, The reason Yuan Xiangcheng is in such trouble today is not only due to his own selfishness, but also to the system designed by Sun Yixian. Think about it. Sun has 30% sympathy for Yuan Xiangcheng!"
Sun Yuanqi said: "What Yuan Xiangcheng seeks is the highest power of the country, the highest power of the country without any restrictions. No matter what our purpose is, whether it is public or private, whether it is for others or for ourselves, we will definitely not be able to let him get what he wants. This determines our The conflict with him is irreconcilable. And this time his target is our New China Party. The two sides are already on the same level, so there is no possibility of win-win cooperation. In the end, each can only use its best to show off. Although it doesn¡¯t necessarily have to be life and death, it definitely has to be a win and a loss.
"If we lose, we will fight for the sake of others, and we will have nothing to say. If the Beiyang Department loses in the end, I hope that Yuan Xiangcheng will recognize the situation clearly and put his troops in order, and will not fight stubbornly. Don't engage in unwarranted disputes. , then whether people of all kinds from top to bottom of Beiyang return to their fields, abandon politics and engage in business, or continue to stay in office, even if Yuan Xiangcheng hangs the name of interim president for the rest of his life, Sun will welcome him with both hands and will never do anything. Interference. But if we lure a wolf into the house and try to collude with foreign forces to interfere in domestic affairs, then I am afraid it will be a life-and-death situation!"
Tang Shouqian said with some worry: "Both sides will eventually resort to weapons?"
Sun Yuanqi shook his head helplessly: "Actually, Sun doesn't want to fight. Those who fight and die are all his own people, and all the people's financial resources are consumed. What's the point? But a certain great man once said: 'Anything that is reactionary, If you don't fight, he won't fall. It's just like the dust on the ground. The dust won't run away by itself if the broom can't reach it. What's more, Beiyang has elites like clouds and generals like rain. There won't be a battle to decide the outcome. How could it be possible to surrender so willingly?¡±
Naturally, Tang Shouqian had never heard of this famous saying, and he did not know who the great man Sun Yuanqi mentioned was. He only thought it was said by some president or general in Europe and the United States. He did not pay attention at the moment, but continued to ask: "Yuan Xiangcheng is so perverse. , must be despised by the whole country. As the saying goes, 'The right people will get more help, but the wrong people will get less help'. Our New China Party will definitely win in the end. Baixi, if you are in power in the future, what kind of system will you adopt?"
"What if we are in power? Mr. Zhe, do you really think highly of Sun? As prime minister, Sun is already driving a donkey. How dare you expect to be in power? Furthermore, by letting me be in power, doesn't it mean that I want to harm the country and the people?" Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but lost his voice. Laughing, he continued after a long time: "As for which system to adopt, Sun has considered it before. The Emperor of Imperial Power has passed away, and it is obviously impossible for us to resurrect his soul; but now if we completely copy the Western popular republic, it will inevitably lead to some problems. Not convinced. Therefore, it is best to make a compromise between imperial power and democratic republic as a transition, so as to avoid repeating the tragedy of Yuan Xiangcheng in the future."
Tang Shouqian couldn't help but sit up straight: "Are you talking about a constitutional monarchy?"
"Huh?" Sun Yuanqi also said?I was surprised, and it took me a long time to remember that the old man in front of me had served as the vice president of the Preparatory Constitutional Association in the late Qing Dynasty, and he happened to be the president of the Preparatory Constitutional Association. No wonder he thought of the constitutional monarchy that had been laid to rest. Sun Yuanqi quickly explained: "It is not a constitutional monarchy, but an enlightened party system. Similar political systems in the West include one-party dominance system, one-party pluralism system, one-party hegemony system, etc. In layman's terms, it is a certain enlightened system in the country. A system in which political parties win through a legal democratic election system and are able to firmly hold power for a long time. Although it is similar to **, it does not restrict the participation of the Kuomintang Party in politics, nor does it restrict party competition, and it is done through legal democratic elections, so it is also It is completely different from the traditional one.
"The most prominent advantage of this kind of enlightened political party is that the domestic political situation is quite stable, the implementation of policies will be stable and long-term, and the country's major policies will not change frequently due to the rotation of political parties; because this party occupies a majority of seats in Congress, the government's proposals Bills can be easily passed by the legislature, and administrative efficiency will be high. In addition, in order to maintain its position in power, the party must win a majority of seats in elections, so it often needs to move closer to the center, so the policies it introduces will be relatively moderate and not The most important thing is that for the current political situation, the implementation of this system is the right time, the right place and the right people!
"The so-called timing means that at this time, although the people are quite disgusted with the imperial rule of the past thousands of years, they are even more disappointed with the democratic republic that has been tried for two years, and they have a bit of admiration for democracy and stability in their hearts. We can Take advantage of the situation. As for geographical advantages, our New China Party has branches in various provinces and cities across the country, and the military has also established a foothold in more than ten provinces. It has geographical advantages that other parties cannot match. There are also people and people. Our New China Party members have always been It is well-known for its strict organization and prohibition of cross-party affiliation. It has also shown strong cohesion and combat effectiveness in the election of members of Congress and the voting of major proposals, which is unmatched by other parties."
Tang Shouqian nodded and said: "Leaving aside the enlightened political party system, it is really easy to implement it. The Republican Party and the Kuomintang, which were able to compete with our New China Party before, with Li Huangpi being imprisoned and Song Dunchu After being assassinated, Sun Huang and others were defeated and fled to Japan, and everyone was blown away by the rain and wind. Although the Kuomintang is now very prosperous, it is all tied together by power and money. The organization is scattered and the people's hearts are unpredictable. As long as Once Yuan Xiangcheng is defeated, the Kuomintang will soon be wiped out. By then, it will be difficult for our New China Party not to dominate the world!"
Sun Yuanqi knew that Tang Shouqian had always been cautious, so he went on to say: "It is indeed as Zhe Weng said! Enlightened party politics is also a new thing in China. What problems will arise during the implementation? Will it be acclimatized or even inappropriate like the democratic republic? The situation of rounding out the poles is worthy of careful study. Fortunately, since the middle of last year, the China Policy Research Institute of Keshi University and the "Independent Review" magazine have launched an investigation and discussion on this issue. One person is short-sighted, and many people are wrong. , I believe that through everyone¡¯s efforts to fill in the gaps, the harm will be minimized.¡±
Tang Shouqian said: "It is good to pool our wisdom and learn from each other's strong points to make up for our shortcomings. Otherwise, if we implement it, it will cause anger and resentment. I am afraid that we will repeat the mistakes of the former regent of the Qing Dynasty and today's Yuan Xiangcheng!" After a pause, he added: "Now the storm is coming. It¡¯s useless for me to just sit here, I don¡¯t know if Baixi has any errands to do, so she wants me to stretch my muscles and bones, so as not to get moldy and rusty all over my body!¡±
Sun Yuanqi smiled and said: "Don't tell me, I really have something to trouble Zhiweng here. Since you always take the initiative to ask for help, I won't be polite to you! There are two places in China that are attracting the most attention at home and abroad. The North To the north is the capital city, and to the south is Shanghai. Shanghai¡¯s ten-mile foreign market, with pearls like earth and gold as iron, goes without saying that it occupies a prominent position in the Chinese economy; and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration in Gaochang Temple is one of the top military factories in East China, and it is even more important and cannot be tolerated. There is a loss.
"Now a great chaos is about to break out in Beijing. Sun is observing the situation closely in Datong and cannot leave easily; and the situation in Shanghai is dangerous, not to mention that the governor of Shanghai Li Sezhai (Li Pingshu) is in violation of Beiyang and our New China Party, and Yuan Xiangcheng around him Jin Yiqing (Jin Yunpeng), the direct descendant of the Su Governor, is ready to make a move, and Zhu Jieren (Zhu Rui), the governor of Zhejiang Province, is weak-willed. If there is no important person in charge of the overall situation, it will inevitably be easy for others to take advantage of him. It is said that 'an old man in the family is better than a treasure', Shanghai How lucky it would be if you, Zhe Weng, could take charge of the overall situation!"
Tang Shouqian stood up suddenly and said: "Then Tang will go to Shanghai for Baixi!"
Sun Yuanqi then warned: "Weng Zhe, Shanghai is full of dragons and snakes, so you must be careful and the best place to stay is in Huaxi Garden. If you encounter any problems, you can go directly to Ms. Lilith, the chairman of Huaxi Bank, Mr. Tony of the China Broadcasting Corporation. In addition, Li Tiexian (Li Xiehe), the secretary-general of the Shanghai Military Governor's Office, also has some friendship with our New China Party. You can also ask him for help when necessary. In short, this time going south, win over Li Sezhai and guard against Jin Yiqing , contacting Zhu Jieren, etc. are all secondary. Your personal safety is the most important thing!" (To be continued.
