Chapter 10: Peng Gongwang Enters the Prime Minister's Office in Fright(1/2)
Jurentang from Zhongnan-hai, who has welcomed the generals day and night for several days, and the generals who have sent them away, they all came to their president. Feng Guozhang was the first, Feng Guozhang left, Jin Yunpeng from Shandong came; Jin Yunpeng left, Li Chun from Jiangxi came, Yan Xishan from Shanxi, Zhang Xiluan from Fengtian, Duan Zhigui from Hubei, and Tang Xingming from Hunan, like he bought a ticket to enter the theater, and squeezed in with his toes and heels.//www.//
While generals from these provinces were summoned one after another, some people found that the generals who were not supervising military affairs in a province were also summoned, such as Zhang Zuolin, commander of the 27th Division in Fengtian, and Wang Zhanyuan, commander of the Second Division in Hubei.
People were a little surprised:
"Why did they enter Zhongnanhai too?
While people were full of doubts, they turned their attention to the State Council. They wanted to see what the "General Li Xiao" was doing. Now, people would never doubt the ability of the "General Li Xiao" to run an industry.
Just two months after taking office, a "National Industrial Development Plan for the Fourth People's to Eight Years" was issued. According to the content of the industrial development plan, in addition to the direct investment of industrial projects by the government, it is more aimed at guiding the direction of industrial investment. At the beginning, some people thought that it was just a "paper plan".
However, a month ago, when Qian'an Iron and Steel Company invested 6 million yuan in the government to start-up capital, Lianyun Iron and Steel Company invested 15 million yuan to control 49% of the shares, and at the same time, it issued 10 million yuan in equity subscription to the whole country, Qian'an Iron and Steel Company started construction.
At the same time, dozens of industrial projects have been launched under the guidance of the government and under the subscription equity of people from all walks of life in China. Even the President has invested millions of yuan in a series of "Industrial and Commerce Guidance" projects such as Baotou Woolen Factory, Tianjin Power Plant, Jiangnan Shipyard expansion, Datong Coal Mine, Tianjin Yaxin Cotton Spinning Company, Qingdao Shipbuilding Company, etc.
Although among these dozens of industrial projects, even the smallest investment in flour mills has an investment of up to one million yuan, no one questioned the plan of "Zhao Li-Li". In the eyes of many people, this is a "God of Wealth Car" who can catch up with whom who can make a fortune. "Zhao Li-Li-Li" has the reputation of "Xiao Li-Li-Li", so corporate stocks are often crazily lost by people from all walks of life as soon as they are launched.
"…It will soon become a construction site in China, and every province will at least have a newly started large-scale industrial project! My goal is to promote the comprehensive development of China's industrial economy, especially the development of heavy industry, within four years. I believe that, as I promised to everyone, this is a change! And the change has begun!"
Finally, just as promised again on the radio, the State Council's energy seemed to be devoted to industrial development and seemed to have no response to Yuan Shikai's abnormal movements. However, some people with a keen sense of smell still noticed that the State Council has also had some abnormal movements recently. Just like today, Li Zicheng met with Peng Zhaohuang, the Speaker of the Hunan Provincial Assembly who had just arrived in Beijing as the General Secretary of the State Council.
At around 3:00 pm, under the guidance of the attendant, Peng Zhaohuang came to the State Council Residence, the General Administration of the State Council Residence, at the Ying Guesthouse. When he entered the General Administration Office on the east side of the first floor of the General Administration, when he saw the young man again, he felt confused and he didn't know why the General Administration made an appointment with him.
For Peng Zhaohuang, who was a juren who studied in Japan for official fees and graduated from Waseda University, felt complicated for Li Zicheng, who had already stood up and took action to greet him.
While studying in Japan, Peng Zhaohuang participated in the Xingzhonghui and later transferred to the Tongmenghui. He followed Sun Yat-sen to engage in anti-Qing revolutionary activities and participated in the Xinhai Revolution with Huang Xing. In the second year of the Republic of China, after the "Song case" occurred, he even sent a telegram to fight against Yuan in the name of the provincial speaker. After being called on the betrayed, he was taken away from Yunnan. It was not until Huang Xing and others returned to China that his betrayed order was lifted and he returned to Hunan and joined the State Research Association at the same time.
However, the Chinese Affairs Research Association was barely the majority in the election of the Hunan Provincial Parliament. Later, with the support of the Hunan Guoshe Party, his old speaker was elected as the Speaker of the Provincial Parliament.
Half a month ago, when Zhang Taiyan invited him to Beijing in the name of the Deputy Speaker of the Senate of the Congress, he was really surprised. After the election of the Hunan Provincial Parliament, the Kuomintang party members did not let the provincial parliament stop. They criticized Hunan for its excessive taxes and tried to pass bills to abolish those taxes, but because he failed to obtain the majority support, the resolution was not passed.
The reason why it was not approved was that the State Research Association represented by Peng Zhaohuang did not support him. Why did Zhang Taiyan invite him to Beijing? Although he didn't want to come, he dared not to come. Finally, after repeated consideration for several days, he decided to come to Beijing.
After coming to Beijing, Peng Zhaohuang first visited Huang Xing, the general manager of the State Council, who was obsessed with "industrial" operations. Then, he went to see Zhang Taiyan. However, Zhang Taiyan did not talk about any disputes between the State Council and the National Socialist Party, but only gave him a few books. Those books describe the political struggle between the US Congress and the French Congress, and the most important thing is the differences in national power between the two countries caused by the political struggle between the two countries, which is obviously a reminder of him.
"Parliamentarians seek benefits for the people, regardless of the party, but only the people are the first!"
Then, Zhang Taiyan told him that the general manager hoped to meet him, and that general manager was naturally the general manager of the National Socialist Party. Not only that, he was also the general manager of the State Council, the young man who made him sigh in his speech in Hunan.
When Li Zicheng, wearing a suit, saw Peng Zhaohuang walking into his office, he got up and stood up from behind the desk to meet him.
"How does it feel to be the Speaker again? Speaker Peng!"
At this time, Peng Zhaohuang realized that the boss he was facing was so young. No wonder people called him Mr. Li Xiao Li. If he hadn't known his identity before, just from his striking appearance, he was simply a young man who was even in college. However, his strong physique and a handsome face with a distinctive outline were not owned by ordinary college students. Perhaps college students would have the latter, but not everyone has a strong physique like him.
"Brother Gongwang, my name is Li Zicheng!"
Li Zicheng said as he suddenly reached out his hand, with the sincerity of Yiru in the past.
Faced with Li Zicheng's enthusiasm and closeness, Peng Zhaohuang...he didn't know whether he should be called "General" or what title he should be called 7
For the first time, Peng Zhaohuang found himself so nervous and even shook hands with him in awe, and suddenly became proud of himself being able to stand in front of him. He tried hard to say something
"Master-Sir, how happy it is to see you,"
What can you say when you are with such a character?
Suddenly, thinking about the thoughts along the way, Peng Zhaohuang realized that if he put aside all negative emotions and only looked at this young man from the perspective of the country, Li Lianyun is an admirable and admirable person in any case. He has done something that many people cannot do. Moreover, compared with too many "politicians" in China, his attitude of putting the country first in everything is really nothing to say.
In fact, in the past two months, after Li Lianyun took office as the general manager, everything he did was different from what he was in awe. What he did would only make people admire him, and then he had nothing to say. Finally, he willingly followed this young man who "focused on his country".
"Brother Gongwang, please sit down."
Turning around and pointing at the sofa in the office, Li Zicheng signaled, and walked towards the sofa at the same time.
However, when the mood calmed down, Peng Zhaohuang suddenly realized what Li Zicheng said when they met on the first day of the first day of the year.
At this moment, he saw Li Zicheng pouring tea for himself, and he only looked at him after he put the teacup on the tea table.
"To be honest, Brother Gongwang, I can't tell how excited I was when I learned that the KSCP won 31% of the seats in the Hunan Provincial Parliament!
When Li Zicheng was speaking, Peng Zhaohuang always looked at him with some caution. He smiled slightly when he spoke, his eyes were bright, but there was no trace of cunning in his spirit.
"I originally thought that the Kuomintang was in Hunan, and existence was a victory, and even left empty-handedly. I didn't think there was anything unexpected, after all."
Looking at Peng Zhaohuang, Li Zicheng laughed.
"Hunan is one of the base camps of the State Research Association!"
Peng Zhaohuang was nervous at first, and then felt that his tone was not very scary, so he calmed down a little. So he said:
"The KMT Party established a party headquarters in Hunan, but in just half a year, it can become the second largest party in the provincial parliament. If it continues to develop, the KMT Party will definitely win the provincial parliament election when the provincial parliamentarian elections are elected by the lower boundaries!"
What Peng Zhaohuang would say is the truth. Anyone with a little vision cannot ignore the "threat" brought by the Kuomintang Party. The reason why the Hunan State Affairs Research Association, led by Peng Zhaohuang, opposes the Kuomintang Party's proposal is to use this to prevent the "Kuan Society Party from seeking fame" and thus avoid the Kuomintang Party's expansion.
But the final facts were beyond their imagination. After the first vote, the MPs of the KMT Party General Assembly told the news reporters that they had done their best. Although they failed, they would never give up for the benefit of the people. At the same time, they also called on "knowledgeable people in the parliament, and those who love the people can support them" to turn disadvantages into benefits. What people see is the MPs of the KMT Party General Assembly for justice for the people, and the State Research Association. The Progressive Party is in harmony with corruption, officials, and officials.
On the way he came, he had already thought that for the Kuomintang, whether their proposals were passed or vetoed, it was a victory for them. Passed, and they realized their original campaign promises and vetoed. That was because their minority seats in parliament, state affairs, and progressed the alliance between the two parties and corrupt officials, which led to their failure.
In the end, when the next world is elected, people will naturally make a choice, who will they choose?
"Brother Gong Wang, now... I'm very disappointed!"
While speaking, Li Zicheng took out a cigar from the cigar box, lit him, then sighed again, and slowly sprayed the first cigarette out of his mouth and nostrils.
"To be honest, brother Wang, I once had great expectations for Hunan Province. Zicheng still remembers the actions of the Dukes of the State Research Association for the country. I think "
He spitted a mouthful of cigar smoke and stared at Peng Zhaohuang. His expression was a little frightened, but he was a little puzzled. For Peng Zhaohuang, he was indeed a little puzzled. Why did Li Lianyun say that he was very disappointed?
Although what he wanted to say was his business and had nothing to do with Peng Zhaohuang, Peng Zhaohuang still wanted to know what exactly would make the General Secretary of the State Council, also the General Secretary of the National Socialist Party, feel disappointed with him, Hunan, and State Affairs Research Association.
"I think that when some people propose proposals related to state affairs and the people, others can also abandon the party's views and work together to benefit the people, but..."
While smiling bitterly, he shook his head helplessly, and Li Zicheng then added.
"But the final thing made me realize that maybe my thoughts were too naive. For the Chinese, they would rather have the party than the people than the people, and the factions than the country, no wonder..."
He raised his head and looked directly at Peng Zhaohuang Li Zicheng, who looked a little anxious, said again.
"Liang Zhuoru will choose "enlightened and authoritative system", but the Chinese people do not know how to cooperate. China is already a mess. With such factional views, how can we seek a strong country!"
With a long sigh, Li Zicheng was silent, but Peng Zhaohuang didn't say anything. He knew that Li Lianyun was saying the truth. In fact, Li Lianyun's words were like needles, and each needle was stabbed in his heart. Indeed, since he became the speaker again, the question he considered was not how to seek welfare for the people of Hunan. At least that was not the first, but how to suppress the Kuomintang and squeeze the living space of the Kuomintang was regarded as his duty. Is this the speaker's duty?
Obviously, this is not!
At this moment, no matter how Li Zicheng accuses him, even scolds him, or despises him, he has no reason to justify him. During the election, didn’t he swear to make peace for the people? Didn’t he spare any effort to make money for the people? Now it seems that those so-called promises are not just plain talk.
"total……"
Before Peng Zhaohuang could speak, Li Zicheng reached out to stop him and then said seriously.
"This time I invite you to the capital, not too Yan's consciousness, but what I mean! Including those books, if Brother Gong Wang has time, you might as well read it. I believe you will get some inspiration from it!"
At this time, Li Zicheng's words were extremely sincere and seemed to have no selfish intentions, but in fact, he was probably the only one who knew what his original intention was. Now for the Kuomintang and Social Party, which has a weak power, it is necessary to establish a united front, give full play to all its strength, and establish a united front with the State Research Association, the Progressive Party, and other small parties. With the promotion of united front work, they can turn other party into use, eventually surpass them, or even replace them, and of course they can also annex them.
However, now we have to "know what is in the truth, move what is in the emotion, and induce what is in the benefit of it!" Otherwise, how can we start the united front?
At this moment, Huang Xing's advice came to Peng Zhaohuang's mind when he met General Huang Xing.
"With the Kuomintang party, we can use the offensive of the Kuomintang party to help the work be accomplished, and also establish the neutrality of the Chinese Affairs Research Association!"
According to Huang Xing and others' plan, they were to use the offensives initiated by the Kuomintang Party in the local area to expand the influence of the State Council Research Association. This expansion formed a neutral position in sharp contrast to the Kuomintang Party, thereby gaining local favor. For the members of the State Council Research Association who had suffered the losses of the "Second Revolution", they saw that it was Li Zicheng's "neutrality" that made him today.
But if you blindly confront it, you will undoubtedly stand against the people and eventually be abandoned by the people, especially the gentry. But if the State Council holds a relatively peaceful position, the situation will be very different. This is exactly the role of Li Zicheng back then, but now the State Council wants to play such a role in the local area.
"After three days of freshness, those gentry will eventually choose relatively peaceful political parties!"
Peng Zhaohuang naturally had his plans in his mind. Since the general manager had already made a decision, he should naturally go down and express his feelings to Li Zicheng.
"Thank you, General Manager. After you go back, Zhaohuang will definitely read this book carefully!"
When Peng Zhaohuang responded, he felt a little angry. In this matter, his approach to the Hunan State Research Association was really unkind. Not only was he unkind, but he even didn't know that now. Although it was a strategic change, it was also considered to be a blessing for the people, right? As for the National Socialist Party, it is the National Socialist Party after all!
If one day the Kuomintang party is abandoned by the people and gentry, it is a failure of the Kuomintang party’s own strategy. Just like after the Second Revolution, the Kuomintang was abandoned by the people, it is the people’s choice and has nothing to do with the State Research Association.
"From then on, the Hunan Provincial State Research Association will definitely act in concert with the National Socialist Party to seek benefits for the people of Hunan and for the benefit of the people of Hunan!"
Peng Zhaohuang said very generously. As for the thoughts in his heart, they are naturally unknown. In his opinion, he is just fulfilling the "responsibility of a member of parliament". When the time is right in the future, he will also fulfill the responsibilities of a member of parliament. By then, his responsibilities of a member of parliament will no longer be to cooperate with the National Social Security Party but to respond to public opinion and follow the will of the people!
"Thank you, Brother Gong Wang."
When Li Zicheng held his fists and thanked him, he knew that he had said the truth now, so the next thing was to move it to the emotions.
"Brother Gong Wang, I'm asking Brother Gong Wang to come this time, but I have something to discuss!"
Induce it for profit!
There are many kinds of benefits, including money, beauty, reputation, country and nation. For people like Peng Zhaohuang, there are a few things that he cannot give up. In the past half month, he has met with the speakers of ten provinces. For them, that thing and several of them are something they cannot give up. As originally expected, they can only stand on the side of the Kuomintang Party. Maybe they think they will be the winner, but there is only one real winner!
"Oh, I don't know what the general is doing? If you have something to use Zhaohuang, please speak out directly.
Peng Zhaohuang will completely play the role of a "collaborator", but he was thinking about it. Since Li Zicheng came to Beijing this time, it was definitely not for the cooperation between the two parties in the Hunan Provincial Parliament. Obviously, there are other things, but what is it for?
Just when he was confused, he saw Li Zicheng get up and walk to his desk and take out a document from the file box.
"Brother Gong Wang, here is a document. I am going to submit a petition to the President in the name of the State Council recently!"
After receiving that document, the first thing that caught my eye was the "Plum Blossom Badge" and "Plum Blossom Badge" of the State Council was the badge selected after the establishment of the State Council. The reason why plum blossoms were selected was a metaphor. The three buds and five petals of the plum blossom represent the separation of three powers and the republic of the five tribes. Moreover, the plum blossoms are colder in winter, and the colder they are, the more they bloom, symbolizing loyalty, firmness, and holiness, and representing the spirit of the people of the country. The five petals of the plum blossom symbolize the republic of the five tribes, and have the meaning of promoting the five kinships, emphasizing the five constants, and applying the five religions. The plum blossoms have "horizontal branches", "slanting shadows", "slobbering" and "proud snow", and also represent the four noble virtues of "yuan", "hero", "rich", and "zhen" in the Book of Changes.
It is precisely because of the use of the "Plum Blossom Badge" that in just two months, the State Council and the Presidential Office formed a sharp contrast. Every department of the State Council uses the Plum Blossom Badge, and even the "General Banner" also uses the Plum Blossom Badge. The current Plum Blossom Badge far symbolizes the State Council and represents Li Zhiyuan.
After sighing in his heart, the State Council's "proficient in calculating" and "foresight", he turned over the cover of the page, but just looked at one page, Peng Zhaohuang was stunned. He looked at the general manager in surprise, as if at this moment, he was frightened by the content of the document.
"General, you..."
To be continued...
