Text Chapter 221 Sun Ke Surrenders

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Sun Ke was the prime minister during this period, which was quite stressful.  ¡°He is very happy to be the prime minister. Who wouldn¡¯t want to reach the pinnacle of power in China?  But it¡¯s really hard to be the prime minister.  There was Zhao Zeyong above who was a bit better. When Wang Jingwei was on stage, things were even more difficult than mine. The government didn't have a dime, but it owed a lot of debt. Taxes couldn't be collected. The military officers were having trouble with their pay every day and didn't pay.  They threatened that they could no longer control the army and would mutiny.  Having Zhao Zeyong at his head gave him confidence. At least those guys in the Central Army who were manipulated by Jiang Jieshi behind the scenes no longer dared to cause trouble.  Well, the Federal Provincial Army is willing to help the Central Army counter the rebellion.  No one wants to disband the army, let alone suppress the rebellion. The army is considered honest.  But there are many other headaches.  The old bureaucrat who sent him to power is noisy all day long. Today, the seat assigned to him by his nephew is no longer profitable. Tomorrow, that brother-in-law thinks that his position is low. The day after tomorrow, there will be another old cousin who feels that his job is difficult. They all come to make trouble with him.  Asking for favors is too much trouble.  These are nothing. Finally, with the help of Song Ziwen and others, a decent government team has been established, and all departments are complete. Although the people placed may not be capable enough or have the correct attitude, they can still be regarded as stepping out.  After taking the first step, the most important issue of Zhao Zeyong's power struggle did not arise.  Although Zhao Zeyong appears more frequently, no one stipulates that the president of the prime ministerial system can only stay in the presidential palace and enjoy leisure time, and does not even have freedom of entry and exit.  The Queen of England has nothing to do to show off her face.  Zhao Zeyong was just doing a political show or something, and he didn't do anything radical.  It even made Sun Ke more reassured. Based on his intelligent analysis, Zhao Zeyong may be a man who loves success, a guy who likes to show off everywhere.  Sun Ke feels that such a person will not pose any threat to him, and he can still handle and control it with his own abilities.  What troubles Sun Ke is that the financial situation has not improved. Zhao Zeyong suppressed military instability, but he refused to give him money.  The money from the federal provinces cannot be given to the central government.  Even because of Zhao Zeyong's original promise, Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan and others could not get involved in the tax center. They relied on the tax revenue of several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, but it was really impossible to quench their thirst from far away.  It is true that the Jiangnan provinces are already China's rich provinces, but the annual tax revenue is only more than 200 million, which is not enough to spend. You must know that the annual military expenditure burden exceeds 400 million.  And because of Zhao Zeyong.  The British have always refused to recognize the central government. It doesn't matter if other countries don't recognize it. But if the British don't recognize it, they will die. The tariffs in the hands of the British can leave a lot of money every year in addition to paying off the debts of foreigners.  Big money.  It can even reach tens of millions, and in good years it may reach hundreds of millions.  Obviously, with the support of this money, the Nanjing government will be much better off.  But these are not the most troublesome things. It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t have money, the army¡¯s salary is pressing on you.  They have to figure out how to pay officials themselves, even if they are greedy.  If the school's funds cannot be paid, then we should give students a holiday. Anyway, it seems that there is no good in reading too much. I only know how to go to the streets to cause trouble all day long, so I simply send them home to relax. If the road administration has no money, then they will not build roads for the time being.  , even if the road is bumpy, you can still run, and everything can always be passed.  What really bothers people is the boiling public resentment. When I was in the opposition, I felt that Chiang Kai-shek was not a man enough, and Wang Jingwei was even less manly enough. He did not dare to stab the foreigners and did not dare to take back the privileges of the foreigners. Is this called fighting imperialism?  Call it a revolution?  Now that I have come to power, I have discovered that I am not very manly enough either. The foreigners have a tough attitude towards the notes sent to them. Moreover, it is not just one family, but many families with the same tough attitude. No matter how you look at it, it is a threat.  If you dare to take back the privileges of foreigners, they will dare to attack you.  I really don¡¯t know how Zhao Zeyong did it. He not only canceled the privileges of the British and Italians, but also beat them up.  Sun Ke also wanted to fight to build up his ambition, but after communicating with the military, he couldn't fight at all. The military did not listen to him at all. He was afraid that he had ordered to fight the foreigners. They didn't fight the foreigners, so first  Hit myself.  If we can't fight and we can't reach an agreement, doesn't this show weakness?  Of course, I can only say a few harsh words, but if word gets out, my reputation will not be good. The newspapers will accuse me of only telling big words.  "The army can't be handled, politics can't be handled, and diplomacy can't be handled. As the prime minister, Sun Ke almost believes the comments in the newspapers. Could it be that he is really a helpless man?  He couldn't help but look at the person who was weighing on him. Whether it was position, status, or influence, he was all weighing on him. Zhao Zeyong was a figure that he had never seen before. He was just a dog warlord.  , why should I stand on my head? I am a well-established princeling.  But this was all before Zhao Zeyong¡¯s personal press conference.?Things have happened. Although they were envious, jealous, and resentful of Zhao Zeyong before, they had never been exposed to naked pressure. But it is different now. After Zhao Zeyong's press conference, the people began to criticize the government more strongly.  Especially on the issue with Japan, the government was required to take practical measures and march in the streets every day, which made government officials afraid to go out on the streets for fear of being attacked by the demonstrators.  The whole city of Nanjing was almost in chaos. Merchants did not dare to open their doors to do business. Due to the poor behavior of Nanjing people, merchants were afraid that they would take the opportunity to rob. Teachers did not dare to go to class for fear that students would beat them. Workers simply stopped going to work and caused trouble every day.  The euphemistic name is solidarity with the government.  Even the army came to put pressure on Sun Ke. Several tough troops asked to go north to fight against Japan.  But even the Japanese came to put pressure on Sun Ke, asking the Chinese government to apologize to Japan for their president's words and deeds.  Where the hell is this? Why should the Chinese government apologize for Zhao Zeyong's words and deeds? Moreover, even if they apologize, the Japanese may not be willing to let it go. Even if they are willing to let it go, it will not do them half a cent of good. Sun Ke understands that now  In China, the most difficult thing to handle is diplomacy. If it is handled too hard, you will not be able to handle it. If it is handled lightly, the people will not be able to get through anywhere.  But Sun Ke didn¡¯t dare to be careless.  How Jiang Jieshi stepped down was not because of the Japanese issue.  Are you being oppressed from inside and outside, forced to do so by your own gang?  Whoever gets into diplomatic trouble these days is in trouble.  Sun Ke didn¡¯t want his Prime Minister¡¯s butt to be kicked out immediately before his ass was warmed up.  It's not that he is greedy for power and position. He, Sun Ke, does not lack this. As a princeling since he was a child, no matter who comes to power, he must be given some face. High-ranking officials and generous salaries cannot escape.  But he couldn't afford to lose this person.  The newspapers have long been calling him an Adou who cannot be helped. Could it be that Sun Ke is really an Adou? Sun Ke himself will never admit it.  After finally becoming the Prime Minister, it was the time to prove myself. To step down in such a dejected manner, wouldn't it be true for the outside world's evaluation? I, Sun Ke, will never be an Adou.  Now this time.  There is probably only one person in the whole of China who can save him, and that is the person riding on his head.  Although he was very reluctant, Sun Ke went to find Zhao Zeyong and exchanged views on the political situation with Zhao Zeyong.  Both sides have very consistent views on the Japanese issue and believe that the Japanese must withdraw their troops, otherwise it will have to be solved by force.  But Zhao Zeyong refused to send troops.  He said that this is a matter of the government. The federal provincial army is only a local army. It is okay to maintain law and order, but it is not appropriate to go to war. Is it the country?  We still have to rely on the country's military, and it is only right for the Central Army to be dispatched.  But it's not like Sun Ke didn't know what the Central Army was like.  Putting aside the question of whether it can fight, it is called the Central Army, but less than one-third of the people actually agree to the Central Committee's words, and those who obey are all troops with little combat effectiveness. Those troops with real combat effectiveness have long been surrendered.  Jiang Xiashi was firmly in the hands of the Huangpu clique.  Suddenly Sun Ke understood that Zhao Zeyong wanted to oust him.  Is it good for Zhao Zeyong to step down by himself? Of course, the benefits are obvious. Sun Ke still understands this issue. He may not be able to support Adou, but he is definitely not a fool. Once he steps down, Zhao Zeyong will immediately take over the power.  .  Therefore, Sun Ke must not step down. Not only Sun Ke thinks so, but other Kuomintang elders also think so.  Although Sun Ke was ineffective, he was still very obedient and took good care of their interests.  If it were someone else, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to control, especially if someone as powerful as Zhao Zeyong was replaced, life wouldn't be easy.  "But at this time, Zhao Zeyong was unwilling to take action. The Central Army was not an armed force controlled by his own faction. The elders were not afraid. They would have to eat pigs with hair on them without Zhao. The only ones in China who have soldiers are the United Provinces and you.  The elders immediately became active. At this critical moment, they stood firmly on Sun Ke's side and were determined to keep the position of Young Prime Minister.  When looking for the big soldier, the first thing the elders thought of was Feng Yuxiang. Isn¡¯t Shandong Feng Yuxiang¡¯s territory? He must really want to fight the Japanese. He didn¡¯t fight the Japanese before because the central government was suppressing him. Now the central government has let him go.  He didn't even bother to go there.  It's a pity that Feng Yuxiang failed the elders' plan. Feng Yuxiang wanted to fight the Japanese. If it were in the past, he would have dared to fight.  At that time, there were few people and few soldiers, and there was no territory at all. There was only one brigade commander under Zhili, so he could really hit whoever he wanted. If he caused big trouble, he would have the big tree of Zhili to support him.  So at that time, Feng Yuxiang dared to challenge the foreigners and even drove the British away from the Fengtai camp.  But it doesn't work now. Now that someone has territory and is stronger, his worries are even greater.  It is easy to defeat the Japanese, or even to destroy the Japanese army, but how to deal with the aftermath? Facing the Japanese revenge, I am afraid that not to mention Jinan, the entire Shandong itself will be lost.  Feng Yuxiang did not send troops, so the elders went to look for Zhang Xueliang. Didn¡¯t Zhang Xueliang have a grudge against the Japanese for killing his father? The Northeast ArmyYou really want to attack Japan, right?  But they were disappointed again. Zhang Xueliang of the Northeast Army really wanted to fight the Japanese, but he was not strong enough, especially because he had no confidence in his own strength. He was more worried about fighting Japan than Feng Yuxiang. I was afraid that after a fight, all his troops would be lost.  The Northeast has also been lost. Not only will it be a warlord but it will also become a national sinner.  Jiang Jieshi wanted the central government to guarantee that the Central Army and the Northeastern Army would act together, with the Central Army as the main force and the Northeastern Army cooperating with him before he would fight.  But if the elders mobilized the Central Army, they would not look for Zhang Xueliang.  The elders were depressed because Zhang Xueliang could bear the revenge of killing his father.  What they don't know is that Jiang Xiashi was a ninja in the past and could knock out his front teeth and swallow blood. Now Zhang Xueliang is even more of a ninja. Not to mention that he couldn't bear to avenge his father's hatred. Even if Japan occupied the entire Northeast, he could endure it.  .  Feng Yuxiang and Zhang Xueliang did not say anything, and the elders simply did not go to Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan was also a veteran of the Tongmenghui. Everyone knew his character and understood that if they went to Yan Xishan, it would be impossible without bleeding. The key is  You may not be able to get things done even if you bleed.  More importantly, after both Zhang Xueliang and Feng Yuxiang expressed their support for Zhao Zeyong, especially after the elders pushed Zhao Zeyong to power, Yan Xishan finally called up the power to support Zhao Zeyong.  With Yan Xishan's character of being able to support Zhao Zeyong, he has clearly understood that Zhao Zeyong has an absolute advantage at this time, and he will never go against Zhao Zeyong.  After going around in a circle, the elders found that they still had to ask Zhao Zeyong. If Zhao Zeyong didn't agree, it seemed that Sun Ke really couldn't get through the difficulty this time.  But for Zhao Zeyong, the elders have a bottom line. As long as Zhao Zeyong is willing to support Sun Ke to continue in his position, they are willing to make some compromises, such as increasing the power of the president. The president can have more activities, such as having a little ceremonial power and presiding over sacrifices.  There are activities and sports, but the bottom line of the prime ministerial system cannot be changed. Zhao Zeyong cannot be allowed to truly have power, otherwise it will be troublesome. This is the consensus reached by the elders before Zhao Zeyong came to power.  The elders began to argue with Zhao Zeyong, saying overtly and covertly that as long as Zhao Zeyong was willing to send troops to attack the Japanese, they would be willing to increase Zhao Zeyong's power, and they would also like Zhao Zeyong to add some of their own people to the government, such as the Minister of Transportation and the Minister of Posts.  The person who came out to appoint Zhao Zeyong was also willing to have Zhao Zeyong preside over some major national events, such as organizing sports games and conducting national sacrifices.  ¡°But Zhao Zeyong was not interested in this, saying that he had no intention of fighting for power and gain. He was happy to be a president with false power, and set an example for future generations, setting an example, and finally forming a routine.  As for Sun Ke¡¯s current predicament, Zhao Zeyong suggested that it would be better to change the prime minister. If something happens that makes the people dissatisfied, someone will have to take the blame. We can¡¯t let a bunch of seniors come forward. It¡¯s better for Sun Ke to come forward.  The top cylinder is suitable.  After Sun Ke stepped down, Zhao Zeyong suggested that Soong Ziwen should come out to form the cabinet. Calming down public anger was the first priority. As for how long Song Ziwen can do it, let's see. The big deal is to change him. Anyway, as long as the people are happy, it is not a big deal even if the government changes the prime minister every day.  Seeing that Zhao Zeyong was going to kill Sun Ke completely, the elders were also depressed.  Sun Ke's side has changed. He sees that the elders are really unreliable. Nanjing is almost out of control. His Prime Minister's Office has been stormed three times. Violence on the streets continues and the police force cannot control it at all.  There are police beating people to death, and there are also incidents where mobs are beating police to death. Now it¡¯s time to beat yourself, the Prime Minister, to death.  Requesting the army to come forward, but now all the troops in Nanjing belong to Zhao Zeyong. Zhao Zeyong also said that it is not convenient for the army to take action in civil cases. These are all matters of the internal security forces. The army still has to deal with the outside world. How can the guns be pointed at the common people.  When the matter reached this level, Sun Ke could see clearly that the military still had the final say in China.  The one with the army is the master, the senators are nothing, they can't help themselves at all.  After thinking about it, I figured out that I just wanted to stay in the position of prime minister for a few more days. I just wanted to prove that I was not Adou, but that I was capable, capable of inheriting my father's legacy, and that I could lead the country and the nation forward.  As long as he can realize his ambitions, it doesn't really matter whether he has Zhao Zeyong or the elders on his head.  After thinking about this, Sun Ke made a move that surprised everyone. He surrendered to Zhao Zeyong.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.
