.

In May, the bright spring is still there, and when the hot summer is still far away, when the spring light is still shrouding Beijing, the women who are most sensitive to changes in integrity will change into beautiful dresses earlier, which only adds a bit of beautiful spring to the capital.

In the past year, with the increase in people's income and the stability of society, more and more Western dresses have entered women's wardrobes. As a result, there are new women's clothing from Shanghai and Lianyun. All of this has influenced women's lives through silent movies and magazines. Women see those beautiful dresses through magazines, advertisements, movies and other means. They have been waiting for the opportunity.

At this time when spring and summer meet, almost when the first day of the day, the beautiful women wear beautiful dresses, like a big explosion, and new clothes appear on the streets of major cities across the country. These beautiful dresses almost become a scene on the street as soon as they appear.

However, he did not feel any changes on the streets, and Yuan Shikai, who lived deep in Jurentang, Zhongnanhai, and even did not feel much about the temperature changes at the turn of spring and summer. At this time, he was still wearing the thick military uniform from early spring, staying in Jurentang every day, dealing with various national affairs, but more often, he focused on politics, or to be precise, political struggle.

In China's history, political struggles have always been cruel and there is no warmth at all. In fact, it is the same when it is put into the world. Politics seems to have always been with it. The surface harmony cannot hide the blood and conspiracy behind it. This was the case in the past, and it is the same again.

"KuoShe Party..."

While muttering this noun, Yuan Shikai's brow frowned.

When he first appeared, Yuan Shikai's earliest attitude was cold and he didn't even take him to heart. In his opinion, even the Kuomintang could not shake his power at the beginning, let alone such a new party was not even superior to the parliament.

"So what can the Kuomintang party do?"

Yuan Shikai once sneered and threw this party behind his head.

But now, a year later, he suddenly felt that the "KaoShe Party" organization was too terrible, even more terrifying than the combination of Li Zicheng. He is simply a monster in China, a political monster, not just because the members of Congress were elected by political parties, not only because he could become China's largest political party. It is not because they may control the Congress, but because the KaoShe Party has developed explosively in the past year, and their means.

In the past year, the KSBC has even cleaned up the Congress by stating "anti-pornography" and "anti-drug". It drove more than 300 members of Congress out of Congress, and then passed local by-elections, and they seized more than 200 seats in the Senate and House of Representatives. Now, they have overwhelmed the Progressive Party in the House of Representatives. Even with the Mongolian and Xinjiang seats controlled by Yuan Shikai, they can be equally divided with the Progressive Party, while in the Senate, they are equally divided with the Progressive Party.

But this is not the most terrifying thing. At most, its control of the parliament can only save Li Zicheng's position and power. However, the "offensive" launched by the Kuomintang Party at the local level has given them control of many provincial and provincial parliaments and even gained an absolute advantage. However, it launched various political offensives in the provincial parliament, with anti-corruption and anti-authoritarianism as its eyes and ears, but its ultimate goal is to point directly to the generals of each province.

In the past few months, with Zhejiang Province as the leader, it has successfully promoted the direct election of municipal and county governors, but that was just the beginning. In the end, what they asked was very simple - abolish the generals of each province and promote the direct election of governors.

This is what scared Yuan Shikai. He felt that his seat, his Jurentang and his Zhongnanhai were shaking in this political offensive! He knew very well where his authority came from, and through this authorization, he gained support from various provinces. Once the central government lost the right to appoint generals of various provinces, then...will he be the president or the president? Who will support him?...

On the other hand, the Ministry of Internal Affairs controlled by the State Council has implemented the "elective system" to elect the civil affairs chief and dismiss a large number of local officials appointed by the central and provincial generals through functional assessments. The direct election system is implemented in various provinces, and the worst is also the nomination election system.

In some places, the Kuomintang dominated the localities, and in some places the Progressive Party and even the Kuomintang won the victory. Although they felt fear, Yuan Shikai was thinking about how to deal with it and how to negotiate with generals from various provinces to solve these problems.

Even when Yuan Shikai felt that Li Zicheng was committing suicide when he felt that he was committing suicide.

"Jiangsu uses the province to govern the province with a constitution!"

Finally, what was coming finally came. Jiangsu, as the base camp of the Kuomintang Party and also Li Zicheng's base camp, still took this step. This seemed to be expected. He did not find anything unexpected about the implementation of the "Governor's Election", but the "Soviet Constitution" that the Jiangsu Provincial Parliament was about to pass was still like a thunder, blowing up in Yuan Shikai's ears.

What is the Constitution!

The Constitution is the foundation of a country!

Although he realized that Li Zicheng was not only using the Constitution to restrain the local area, but also restricted him, Yuan Shikai's attitude towards the Constitution became cold, from his initial support to his later ambiguous attitude, and even private opposition. Just like the Constitution of the Temple of Heaven for the People 2, Yuan Shikai used various means to successfully stifle the Constitutional Assembly in the bud.

But without waiting for him to be happy, without waiting for someone to take action to deal with the local direct election promoted by the State Council and the National Socialist Party, the news that the Jiangsu Provincial Parliament began to hold the Provincial Constitutional Conference was like a thunder, only caught him off guard. The Constitution is the foundation of a country, and what does it mean to carry out a constitution alone in a province?

It means that the break between the central and local governments means... Thinking of all the meanings, Yuan Shikai frowned and kept turning around, thinking about what excuses should be used to stop the actions of Jiangsu Province and prevent the passage of (Soviet Constitution).

"China already has a constitution, and if it is not suitable, it will be discussed again!"

This was once a reason why he opposed the convening of the Constitutional Convention. But now, this reason may become a reason for Jiangsu to boycott the central government, and more importantly, the reason for Jiangsu Province is very simple.

"China is committed to republic. Although the country has no constitution, the Soviet province will set a precedent for China, return the government to the people, govern the province with a constitution, and return the power to the citizens of Jiangsu!"

OK!

Suddenly, Jiangsu seemed to have reached the highest point. The reason why they formulated the provincial constitution was that it was the central government's fault. It was wrong. It seemed that because Yuan Shikai was a single man, Jiangsu Province had no choice but to do it.

Finally, after a seemingly silent year, Li Zicheng responded to Yuan Shikai with a secret fist. Now, the reputation of Li Zicheng and the Kuomintang Party is booming. It can be said that this will be regarded as his "change" move, and what about Yuan Shikai?

"Local turmoil..."

At this time, another consequence that Yuan Shikai could think of was that once Jiangsu set a precedent, the local changes were fearful of the generals of each province, and on the other hand, the encouragement of the provincial parliament after Jiangsu implemented the constitution.

Power is a good thing!

No one wants to lose it! No one wants to fight!

Once local constitutions are implemented and direct elections are implemented, generals of each province will inevitably lose their power. In order to safeguard their power, they dare to do anything, not to mention that they are only facing a group of "unable to tie up" members of parliament!

But it is precisely because of those people's "unable to tie a chicken" that makes Yuan Shikai feel scared. The reason is very simple. Among those members of the parliament, there are countless Kuomintang members who are ready to sacrifice their lives for their careers at any time. What will they do then?...

"The Tree of Freedom needs to be watered with the blood of patriots and dictators at times!"

This famous saying came to my mind, and Yuan Shikai could guess that perhaps that was exactly what Li Zicheng wanted. He hoped to see generals from various provinces disband the parliament and arrest the parliamentarians for their own power. Although Yuan Shikai wanted to do that, if he did that, he would undoubtedly fall into Li Zicheng's trap.

Once the generals of various provinces did this, Li Zicheng and the Kuomintang had reasons and excuses.

Rebellion?

With Li Zicheng's shrewdness, he would not be as stupid as the Kuomintang during the Min-2 rebellion. He would not launch any rebellion. He would borrow the people and would use "non-violent" methods to solve some problems. Of course, he would also use violence to solve problems, but his violence is definitely different from the "Min-2 rebellion".

In short, in the end, he would force the generals of various provinces to step down one by one while occupying the moral high ground. Yuan Shikai knew more than anyone else about those generals. Among them, few of them dared to be "butchers". Even Yuan Shikai did not have the courage, and all Li Zicheng and his National Socialist Party needed was - sacrifice,!

sacrifice!

As long as you choose the right opportunity, it is the best weapon!

"President, if this provincial constitution is not stopped, it will be a disaster for China and a river of turmoil in China!"

Liang Shiyi looked at the president nervously. When he learned the news, he was stunned at first, then smiled, thinking that Jiangsu Province's behavior seemed a bit ridiculous, but what followed was nervousness.

"If we can't stop at the bill, we're afraid, as soon as the generals of each province move, China will be in chaos!"

Yuan Shikai nodded, stood up, slowly pulled out a cigar and filled it into his mouth. The nervous Liang Shiyi even forgot to light the fire. Instead, Yuan Shikai took a match and sucked it, took a few puffs, but then pressed it into the ashtray, then put it back to its original place, then turned to Liang Shiyi and said.

"Yan Sun, this matter is extraordinary. Once this provincial constitution is really done, and before the provincial government can learn from each province, I am afraid that the national and social parties in each province will be moved. By then, there will be several generals willing to hand over the power!"

With a long sigh, Yuan Shikai said again.

"This proposal of direct election can be said to be in line with the trend and has won the support and support of most Chinese people. This is true, but you also know why Chinese people support this, it is not..."

Isn’t he still greedy for power? He sneered, but Yuan Shikai did not continue talking.

This is true for generals from all provinces, and the gentry and parliamentarians in the local area are the same!

Crying and smiling at those people's greed for power, Yuan Shikai forgot that he was also nostalgic for power and was also unwilling to give up power.

"But they don't think about it. With the Kuomintang party here, how many opportunities do they have?"

Progressive Party!

When talking about this current situation, Yuan Shikai remembered the Progressive Party he supported. Now on this issue, Liang Qichao and the Progressive Party seem to be "indifferent" with Li Zicheng and the National Socialist Party.

Power is really a good thing!

Li Zicheng tried every means to preserve his power, even if he was asked to sacrifice part of his power, and Liang Qichao would rather trade with Li Zicheng, the purpose of this is not also for power.

Power...

He was calm and Yuan Shikai looked at Liang Shiyi. He was afraid he had a deep connection with the State Council! Why is it not to consolidate his power!

Liang Shiyi, who had not realized the strangeness in the president's eyes, said worriedly as he listened to the president's words.

"President, the news has not yet been heard. We must take action. If we wait for the generals of each province to get the news, I am afraid I really don't know what chaos will happen!"...

"way?"

Yuan Shikai said with a wry smile.

"How to stop it, there is no appropriate reason, I will stop it rashly. By then, I will become the target of public criticism and you will not be able to escape. In that case, we will be ruined!"

At this time, Yuan Shikai seemed very cautious and wanted to leave a way out for himself.

"You know, everyone in this place is directly electing that. I don't know how many wise men want to be the first governor..."

joke,!

Yuan Shikai didn't say that!

He, who has presided over Shandong and Zhili, did not know how heavy the burden of this leader is, and how could any person bear? This leader is required to undergo years of experience. But those people think that this official is good and that any cat or dog can be obtained. It is really... a foolish person!

"That... is just a fool, but the crazy heart of talking nonsense is the most unexpected!"

Although it was following the words of the President, in Liang Shiyi's opinion, this is the truth. This is not something that ordinary people can do well, but there are always some wild men who are always willing to daydream.

"But the problem now is that Li Zhiyuan has given them a possibility of dreaming!"

This is the fact. Sometimes a hope can change many things. Now, Li Zicheng gives those gentry a chance to dream. Almost all gentry gentry who consciously have the ability feel that they have the opportunity to become a rank of officials. Once this dream is done, there is no way to deal with it.

To be precise, now, whoever wants to stop them from dreaming and who wants to wake them up is their enemy. By then, the blocking will be accused of by thousands of people.

But Yuan Shikai doesn’t want to be such a person!

"The President..."

At this moment, Liang Shiyi gritted his teeth, as if he had made some important decision.

"or……"

As hesitated, Liang Shiyi finally said something.

"We support it!"

"support?"

Suddenly stunned, Yuan Shikai looked at Liang Shiyi and asked,

“What to support?”

"Support the Constitutional Conference proposed by the State Council! Formulate the National Constitution!"
