Seventy-Eight Palm South’s Resolution

When Yuchen's car arrived at the venue of the Jiangbei Jun Ying Hotel in Xuzhou, almost all the deputies had entered the venue. Only the reporters were still waiting for him. Looking out from the car, Jiang Baili's car had arrived. Others were standing at the door and talking to several reporters with a smile. When Yuchen came out of the car, there were flashing spotlights. Because he was willing to accept interviews from the reporters. There were many Chinese and foreign journalists coming to this conference.

Yuchen looked very happy and nodded to the reporters frequently. But he did not answer the questions they asked loudly. He just walked towards Jiang Baili, who was waiting for him with a smile. As soon as the two met, they watched Jiang Baili smile at him: "Yes, today I am very energetic, go in earlier. Nian Sun and the others have arrived. All the guests on the audience are in the seat, but you are waiting for you alone. Today, your report is afraid that another article that caused a sensation in the north and south is another sensation." Jiang Baili was also a little proud. The southern provinces finally reached a consensus, and he did a lot of work in the center! Thinking that his work can determine China's future direction and destiny to a considerable extent, everyone felt that Jiangbei did not delay his talent and knowledge.

Yuchen said lightly: "Brother Baili, do you think that after today's conference, everything will be fine in the south? This is just the beginning." The two looked at each other and smiled, walked into the venue side by side.

The venue was solemn and solemn today. A rostrum was arranged in the middle of a hall that could accommodate hundreds of people. Two five-color flags crossed as the background. On the rostrum, there were already figures such as Li Liejun, Wu Cai, Ouyang Wu, Tan Weisan, and Min Governor Sun Daoren who came here. The two empty seats in the middle were naturally left for Yuchen and Jiang Baili. On the right side of the rostrum, there were many senators from various provinces who came back from Beijing, Tang Hualong from the Two Lakes, Shen Enfu from Shanghai, and Zhang Taiyan and other celebrities. The foreigners were watching the ceremony, led by the US Consul General Cooper in Shanghai, and were also chatting and laughing in a low voice.

There were more than a hundred representatives from various provinces sitting below, some of whom were serious, some were relaxed, and all kinds of things were included. The preparatory meeting has been held so far. Today's resolution seems to them to be just a formality. In addition to Hunan, the Jiangbei Army seems to have to be firmly in their hands. The other provinces are still their own territory, and the army is also their own. They just exchanged interests and concessions with Jiangbei. You can stand by the river and watch the capsized ships, and watch Jiangbei and Lao Yuan continue to fight on various battlefields across the country. As long as you stand in the right team in the future, you will still be unable to escape. Yuchen wants to use this meeting to stabilize the provinces in the southern region, and they are not without their own abacus.

Listening to the door of the hall being pushed open, Yuchen and Jiang Baili walked in one after another. Applause was the first to sound from the ceremonial seat. Then there was applause in the hall. These representatives have been dealing with the Yuzhou men for so many days. Today is when they saw him officially attending, and many people have seen this young and famous figure for the first time. His achievements since his resurrection have almost become a legend.

Unconsciously, looking at Yuchen who walked in with a smile but solemnly, the applause became even more enthusiastic. Wu Cai also stood up and applauded at his commander, but he still frowned. He thought about his own thoughts and the responsibilities that his chief of staff should bear. The commander focused on this conference and was about to succeed. I, the chief of staff, have not been a good place to be the home of Jiangbeijun during this period!

Everyone watched Yuchen sitting on the rostrum, and just greeted the guests and representatives below with their eyes. Jiang Baili nodded to Yuchen beside him. He stood up and said loudly: "Today is November 21, the first year of the Republic of China, and it will be a day that should be written in the history of the Republic of China! The southern family is full of good news and openly public and state affairs. Since the preparatory meeting twelve days ago, everyone has expressed their opinions on the relevant agenda. Many good words are not only applicable to the situation in the south at this time, but also can be promoted nationwide and universal!

At this meeting, we all southern provinces reached a consensus agreement, so we just need to sit down and negotiate without using a gun but only adhere to the legal morality. It is already very difficult to make a good start and set an example for the future resolution of state affairs!

We should thank the leaders of all these provinces for their actual responsibilities, and also thank the Jiangbei Inspection Commissioner Yuchen! He was still in a difficult position when the situation in the Republic of China was chaotic and unclear. He gathered the southern provinces together and held the most extensive and in-depth discussions on topics that everyone was concerned about. He fully respected opinions from all over the South. He worked hard to maintain the unified situation in the South and prepared for the future election. In the near future, the Yucheng Passenger will also go north and exchange views with the President of the Beijing Provisional Government Yuan Shikai, who is currently maintaining the situation in the north, and the great revival of the great rejuvenation of the country, and work hard to establish a formal central government of the Republic of China that is recognized, noticed and respected by the world! Let us welcome the Yucheng Passenger to make a very important speech!”

As he said that, Jiang Baili took the lead and clapped, and the applause from the bottom suddenly became a whole. Tang Hualong clapped and laughed at Zhang Taiyan, who had just rushed from Shanghai next to him, and said, "Did you hear it? Now I gently put the name of Yuan Shikai in Beijing, and only admitted that he actually maintained the situation in the north. Then the one who actually maintained the situation in the south was him Yuchen? It is clear that the carriage and horses are already in a situation of competition!"

Zhang Taiyan looked at the rostrum very attentively. The old man had been active in Beijing for a long time. However, because of his scholarly aura, he first broke up with Sun Huang, and then the unified Republican Party evolved into the Great National Assembly he founded almost swept the old man out. He has been promoting the civil rights party all his life. But now all the parties that advocate the state power party. He was discouraged and came to Jiangbei to watch the ceremony. Yuchen was very attentive to this senior. He wanted to see how the sudden rise of the forces in the south were different from the traditional Chinese forces.

Hearing his old friend Tang Hualong whispering to him, he said without looking back: "That's a natural thing! He fought with Yuan Weiting in a battle. Do you still have to recognize him as the central government? This conference was to unify the South and let him have no worries when competing for the Central Plains. The second was to rectify his reputation! As long as you come up with an agreement recognized by the southern provinces, no matter how the content is actually implemented, he will be the general representative of the South. Who dares to give him less of the political territory in the future? He is not like Sun Huang, who has money, territory, and the soldiers he brought out by himself!"

He looked calm and did not continue to say that there was such an ambitious young general in the Republic of China. At least in the foreseeable future, the world will not be less, but more things will be more. This situation is really getting more and more complicated. It is so complicated that everyone is watching and watching the characters who are qualified to play in the chessboard. What is the future? There is only chaos. But only one thing is obvious. The rising momentum of Yuchen can no longer be stopped.

The applause gradually calmed down, and Yuchen stood up straight. His body was slightly thin, with two beards on his lips that were not very thick, and he looked more mature and steady. He didn't say anything at first, but just stood at attention and saluted everyone, as if reminding everyone of his military identity.

"Mr. Jiang Baili said so much today, and my brothers really feel ashamed. Since we are in this position, we should do a good job in state affairs. But we are very ashamed. Brothers are not talented and have a reckless personality. Sometimes because they are concerned about state affairs, they are a little fussy. Many outsiders think that brothers are military and militant. However, since this preparatory meeting, brothers have been open and fair. They work hard to maintain the situation in the south and lay a foundation for the formal government of the Republic of China. Fortunately, the provinces have been in charge of the provinces.

Daxian Toshihiko strongly supported it. After twelve days of discussion in the preparatory meeting, the following consensus was finally reached on the meeting and a formal document was formed. In the morning, Yu read it to the guests and representatives of the audience. After everyone voted to recognize it in the afternoon, the conference was completed successfully! Yu is a soldier and is really unwilling to worry about politics. In the future, the official government is established. Yu still plans to concentrate on leading troops and train a capable national defense armed force for the country! I won’t say much, thank you all delegates!”

Jiang Baili's opening speech just now praised him to the sky. At this time, Yuchen's speech seemed much more dull and even had a sense of self-distinguishing. Zhang Taiyan couldn't help but frowned. Although the speech of the Yu Passenger was a little more down-to-earth, it was still not clever enough. These things that fought with the north are now a mess. Do you still have to explain it? Let's look forward to your future plans and say something that controls the overall situation in the south in a high position. It seems that it is more suitable for your identity. Listening to this speech, it is really like a young lieutenant who has just left school.

There are indeed many people who think like Zhang Taiyan. They all think that Yuchen's speech does not have the domineering taste he always has. Although he is arrogant and talks about his own truth, he can always make sense of it. But I don't know that Yuchen has been considering Jiang Baili for a long time. No matter how humble he is, everyone knows that he still actually holds the dominance of the situation in the south. Don't talk at this meeting and be domineering, as if the south is in his palm. If it arouses a rebound, it will be bad if you make any jokes during the afternoon vote. In this situation, it is better to be safer every step in this situation.

The following resolution is the substantive content of this meeting. Everyone listened carefully with their ears. Although representatives and even journalists from all provinces knew a lot, they were afraid that such an important resolution would be less likely to be heard.

The general outline is the general outline. Since the restoration of the Southern Provinces, the power of the Southern Provisional Government has been in power for a long time, and the power of the Southern Provisional Government was transferred to the turmoil of the Northern Provisional Government. For a year, the so-called central government has not effectively exercised its governance. The military, political and civil affairs are at a loss. In the north of the South, misunderstandings occur frequently and civil unrest. In order to stabilize the South, welcoming the general election, and when the formal government of the Republic of China is established, the South decided that autonomous provinces will unite to form a temporary transitional organization. The issues between the southern provinces will be resolved in full consultation. Other financial and military organization can also be started. When the general election is held in accordance with the law, the constitution is officially promulgated, and the formal government of the Republic of China is completed, the temporary general organization of the Southern Autonomous Provinces will naturally be cancelled.

1. In terms of politics, a Southern Federation of Provincial Autonomous Senate was established. Each province elected 3 to 5 qualified representatives as interim senators. Coordinate relations between provinces and resolve political issues in each province. For each province's temporary autonomous government, the Federation of Provincial Autonomous Senate has the right to question and coordinate the right to coordinate. When the general election is completed and the central government is established, the provisional senate will naturally be dissolved.

2. In terms of military affairs, military issues have long been a chronic disease since the restoration. For security, each province is afraid of not having much military support and insufficient military expenditure. Moreover, each province is harming its neighbors, and the army of the national defense force is also like a mess. It is decided to limit the number of troops in the south and reduce military expenditure. The military expenditure of each province should not exceed 50% of the annual income. It is gradually planned to disarmament. After the formal government is established in the future, it can set an example for the whole country. Among the existing southern provinces, Hunan has been declared completely disarmament due to its inland location and only maintaining local security camps. The defense security of the remaining provinces will be led by the Jiangbei Army, and the military expenditure will be paid by Jiangbei. The remaining provinces should cut 20% of the existing military for a period of one year. In the future, military issues will be taken by the central government.

The issue of establishing the General Staff of the Military Staff of various southern provinces was temporarily shelved. The military armies of each province selected representatives to establish a military observation group of various southern provinces in Xuzhou to exchange military situations in each province, coordinate military operations of various provinces, eliminate misunderstandings, and enhance feelings for the ceremonies.

3. Financial issues, the southern provinces unified the currency and fully adopted the liberation banknotes and liberation coins. The provinces are in control of the waters of each province. On the basis of unified currency, they seek to establish a currency-gold standard. Since the Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei and Jiangxi region belonging to the Jiangbei Army has abolished the lichen system and replaced it with industrial and commercial taxation. Any industrial and commercial goods that have been paid in Jiangbei, no more liters shall be allowed to be drawn. For this reason, Jiangbei will set up a qualitative fund, with an upper limit of 11 million yuan per year to subsidize the finances of each province. The proportion of the number of goods passing in Jiangbei shall be subject to the proportion.

4. The situations of local autonomy policies vary from province to province, and the people's customs are different. If you seek uniform forms, you will lose the original intention of local autonomy. The local autonomy policies and official appointment system implemented in Jiangbei will not force the implementation of each province. However, each province should reduce and exempt miscellaneous taxes as appropriate to cultivate vitality for the people.

5. Relationship with the Northern Provisional Government, since the Northern Provisional Government has not exercised its governance for a long time, from now on, the southern provinces will break away from the legal relationship with the Northern Provisional Government and fully implement autonomy. When the national election is completed in accordance with the law and the formal government of the Republic of China is established, the southern provinces will return to the central government and become innocent people of the Republic of China.

6. Regarding the status of Sichuan Province, Sichuan Province has sent representatives to attend the conference. The provisional senator will instruct Sichuan Province to stop the civil war as soon as possible and make a ceasefire on the spot. The Jiangbei Army considers sending troops to maintain peace as appropriate. Sichuan Province will form a temporary provincial government under the supervision of various southern provinces and select temporary senators to participate in the Senate.

7. Other unfinished issues will be raised by representatives sent by provinces in the interim Senate in the interim Senate and will be voted on by the Senate in consultation.

Yuchen read a long report very clearly. This was the first time he had made such a formal report. He knew the weight of this resolution in his heart. Once this resolution was formally passed, he was no longer under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shikai's central government from the legal system. He could do anything he wanted to do. This was also his biggest gain in this conference. He originally planned to integrate the south to a certain extent, but in order to make the final pass of this resolution.

He made huge concessions. The original plan to establish a southern provisional government was abolished. The original plan to establish the General Staff of the Southern Army was abolished. The original plan to implement the local autonomy policy in Jiangbei to a certain extent was still abolished. The unified fiscal unity was only to seek the unity of currency as much as possible. The number of fiscal subsidies to each province also increased by 3 million yuan. All of this made him deeply understand that the essence of politics was still compromise.

The applause finally rang again, especially the applause of Governor Tan Weisan on the rostrum was the loudest. Li Liejun and Ouyang Wu looked at each other and turned their eyes away. Although Huang Xing did a lot of work to attack many proposals from Jiangbei, the southern provinces still issued such a resolution under the strong pressure of Jiangbei. In the future, Yuchen's status will be more stable? Maybe it is even more undercurrents? All of this can be taken one step at a time.

Wu Cai also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about Zhang Zhihe's telegram in his pocket. The matter in the south finally came to an end today. Now we should be able to free up our hands to clean up the matter in southern Henan, but before that, I still have to apologize to the commander first.

Under the warm applause, everyone was thinking about their own thoughts. This resolution soon spread throughout the country. It was called by observers a manifesto of betrayal of Yuan Shikai in the south. Yuan Shikai's provisional central government in Beijing, and now the provinces in control are only some places north of the Huai River. Yuan Shikai heard the news at the Presidential Palace, and he was working on the spot. Although he was not excited to issue an order for the siege this time, the Presidential Palace quickly issued an announcement that he did not recognize the illegal gatherings in the southern provinces. He firmly claimed that the identity of the southern government was still under the control of the central government. However, others could not control their way of stealing the bells. The inspection agency in Xuzhou, Jiangbei, has been called the Southern Government.

History continues to develop downward.

"What? Do you say it again?" When Yuchen, who had made an exception to drink a little wine, returned to the reception room to rest, Wu Cai finally reported Zhang Zhihe's telegram request to him.

Yuchen almost jumped up. It is certain that southern Henan cannot be in chaos. First, this is an important starting position for the future attack on Beiyang, and furthermore, it will also affect the overall situation of Hubei. He is very clear about the destructive power of the White Wolf Army. The Beiyang Army, which was spread across four provinces and 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, was ruined. Let them, the bandits, come to their territory so suddenly. The foundation is not as stable as that of Beiyang in the past. How can they bear it!

At the first moment, Yuchen felt anger at the General Staff. Finally, when he thought about it, he was more self-blame. They did not know the fierceness of the White Wolf Army in history. It was not that they had strong combat power, but that they were like locusts and went to destroy one place. They rarely fought with you, just robbed around. The regular army was bulky and could only follow them and ran away and ran away. If they really let them wander in their own ruling area like they did in history for more than a year...

They don’t have this concept, but they have it themselves! Although their rebellion was advanced and the scale has expanded, they have not received any reports on this in advance! But they always subconsciously thought that the White Wolf was against the Beiyang Army, and the rebellion was in Henan. They were a little gloating... but they didn’t know that since history has changed, nothing can be changed!

He breathed heavily, and some of his pride was thrown away by him because of this conference. He said to Wu Cai in a deep voice: "Don't mention any accountability, your General Staff's responsibility should be postponed before discussing...... The important thing now is to clean up the situation in southern Henan! Has the General Staff made plans to see which troops should be reinforced immediately?"

Wu Cai still felt ashamed, but still looked up at Yuchen with his head raised and answered his question: "Sima Chunru is already making plans. As soon as the matter is over, I will go back immediately and use the troops as soon as possible."

Yuchen said decisively: "You don't have to attend the afternoon meeting! Go back and preside over this matter immediately! The troops that can be mobilized by Jiangxi, Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces must be mobilized! Not only should you enter the southern Henan territory to suppress the fences, but the provincial defense fences of each province must be tightened! The military operations in Hubei can be temporarily suspended. The important thing is to eliminate this huge bandit first! After the bandits eliminated in southern Henan, I will forcibly implement the policy of Jiangbei and eliminate a group of local tyrants and evil gentry there! They are both gentry and bandits, don't have such good dreams!"
Chapter completed!
