Under such circumstances, Song Biao himself was embarrassed to truly ascend the throne and become emperor. He could only persuade some of the new army to recognize the Chinese Empire through the liaison office, and actively prepare for war.

The first thing Song Biao had to do was to form the 10th Army as much as possible to maintain the protection of the three eastern provinces and Zhili areas. Jiang Zungui was appointed as the governor of the Second Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army and to the Second Army through sea routes.

Provide supplies to allow the Second Army to stabilize the three provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang as soon as possible, and Zhang Xianren is the governor of the Third Revolutionary Army in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi.

At this time, Sun Yat-sen had returned to Hong Kong, entered Guangzhou from Hong Kong, served as the interim governor of the Guangdong Revolutionary Government, and actively contacted members of the Tongmenghui in various places, trying to establish a new Southern Revolutionary Government.

By the end of August, Song Biao summoned Tang Shaoyi and others to the capital and first established a new provisional government in Tongzhou. Tang Shaoyi served as the interim prime minister of the provisional government of the Chinese Empire, and Ouyang Geng returned from San Francisco to serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Song Biao no longer planned to wait any longer. After sending Zhao Tingzhu's First Infantry Division to Anyang to reinforce the 1st Cavalry Division, he sent a telegram to Duan Qirui and Yuan Shikai, giving them two routes or joining.

The imperial government gave up control of the Beijing-Han Railway and changed its position to Texas to accept the reorganization of the Fourth Army, or to start war now.

Under such strong pressure, Duan Qirui was forced to agree to accept reorganization. The entire army gave up its ordnance and evacuated Anyang. Duan Qirui himself went to Tongzhou to pay homage to Song Biao.

Duan Qirui arrived in Tongzhou on September 4th. In the past few days, Song Biao is stepping up mobilizing troops to go south. At the same time, he is still discussing intensively with Cai Yuanpei, Tao Chengzhang and others about the work of forming the Chinese Revolutionary Party.

With sufficient funding, the Restoration Association has 23 branches and organizations across the country, and they have been merged into the Restoration Association. In addition, they have actively joined new members from provincial advisory bureaus and constitutionalists, and the total number of members in the country has surged to 64.57

Ten thousand people elected Song Biao as the new president, and six others, Cai Yuanpei, Tao Chengzhang, Tang Shaoyi, Zhang Binglin, Qiu Jin and Shu Fangde, served as executive vice presidents.

Song Biao was very clear at this time that he had to learn from the lessons of Yuan Shikai and Sun Yixian. After becoming the president of the Republic of China, Yuan Shikai had not actively installed his own parliamentarians in the parliament, nor did he launch his own party organization because of his lack of understanding of democratic politics.

, blindly believing in his military strength, led to a complete division of Yuan Shikai's government and Congress; after the success of the revolution, the members of the Tongmenghui formed by Sun Yixian increased rapidly, although the members of the provincial advisory bureaus controlled the parliament and formulated a temporary constitution to Yuan Shikai's

The government imposes restrictions, and the internal situation is also overwhelming and endless struggles.

The political failure of the two people had a serious consequence, that is, the two chose the most extreme means at the same time. The former chose to be enlightened and tried to establish a constitutional monarchy system and directly controlled more state power. The latter chose to assassinate

Those who have disagreements in politics also launched the Second Law Protection Movement, which led to the hard-won Republic of China's complete warlord era.

Learning from the lessons of the two of them, Song Biao chose a new path. He still agreed to expand the Restoration Council, at least to ensure that members of Congress and most provincial members are in the Restoration Council, to preserve the fruits of the victory of the revolution, and to build a new one.

The Chinese Revolutionary Party selected qualified party members in the Restoration Association to maintain the political qualities of the party. Gradually, through the replacement method, the Chinese Revolutionary Party controlled the Congress to the Chinese Revolutionary Party controlled the Congress.

That afternoon, Song Biao convened Tao Chengzhang, Cai Yuanpei and six other vice presidents to the General Office in the Xihua Hall to discuss the establishment of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, and discuss the specific party constitution and party governance policies and roads.

At this moment, Jiang Zhengyuan hurried into the West Flower Hall from the Secretariat and reported to Song Biaohui: "Chief, Duan Qirui has arrived at the headquarters."

Song Biao and Jiang Zhengyuan asked: "When will Cheng Biguang arrive?"

Jiang Zhengyuan said: "I have also arrived at the train station. I have sent a car to pick him up."

Song Biao picked up the pocket watch on the table and took a look, and ordered: "When Cheng Biguang arrives, let them come together."

"yes!"

Jiang Zhengyuan agreed and then hurried out of the West Flower Hall.

Song Biao turned around and continued to say to Tao Chengzhang and others: "The contradiction between the Restoration Association and the Tongmeng Association has been very intensified. In fact, the problem is to put it bluntly, it is to support and not support me as the emperor. Or who should support the management of the country and control the army

Things. In the past, although the conflict between us and the Tongmenghui was great, it was an alliance in the same trenches and could endure each other a little. Now we are fighting. The most intense battles are Fujian and Hubei, these two

Among the local new army and politicians, we have the same strength as the Tongmenghui, and together they account for half of the constitutionalists, reformists and local factions. Yesterday, the eighth town of Hubei New Army fought hard. More than a dozen died.

Individually, there are endless struggles between the Fujian New Army and the local revolutionary army. The Tongmenghui is very insidious. While calling for the cessation of civil war and unification of the country, they also actively and ruthlessly engaged in destruction everywhere, and they also said that we are the culprits. We are all over the country.

The number of people is dominant, and we control many media and newspapers. We must actively fight back, not be afraid of intensifying the contradictions, they are afraid. They shouted the Three Principles of the People very loudly, but they are all dirty things because they are both

The Hongmen Association has the deepest combination of the Party. We should actively report on these things and not be afraid of the Party.”

Everyone nodded silently, but Tang Shaoyi was thinking silently.

Shu Fangde said: "This is the situation now. The struggle for politics is second. It's just a matter of talking. Now it is a struggle for control of the provinces and the manipulation of the Congress. Once our eight principles are introduced,

They said they wanted to establish a parliament to determine the national system and constitution. If they really wanted to hold a parliament, they said they wanted to re-elect members of parliament, but in fact they wanted to use the path of Congress to steal all the fruits of victory. Everyone thought they were right.

, think that the other party is wrong, and the other party is ruining the country.”

Seeing that Tang Shaoyi was not speaking, Song Biao asked, "What do you think, our Prime Minister?"

Tang Shaoyi hurriedly stated: "The Chief Executive is right, and Director Shu is right. I think so. We currently have a great advantage. Naturally, we hope that the country will make a smooth transition and implement effective governance, including the problem of Shanghai's financial turmoil.

It needs to be dealt with as soon as possible to restore domestic free trade, but they may not think so. If we fight a public opinion war and they fight, the country may be completely divided.”

Song Biao was very tough and said, "If you split, you will split. Then I will fight in one go. It is not that you have to fight the public opinion war, but that they have already started fighting. Don't underestimate them. Our public opinion war must be accelerated. At the same time, We must also continue to strengthen the ties with constitutionalists and reformists and unify the front. If China wants to be strong and restored as soon as possible, it must first ensure the stability of the country. The foundation of national stability lies in the stability of the military. With the monarchy, the military will be stabilized first and safeguarded. The constitutional system, unify the economy and develop people's livelihood, first let the people become rich and educated, and then talk about national democracy and universal suffrage. All regions must strengthen public opinion propaganda and must win the public opinion war. If we tolerate it for the sake of the country's great interests now, in the future Twenty or even fifty years will suffer from this entanglement. As the saying goes, long pain is worse than short pain. I would rather fight a civil war this year and next year. I should also ensure that China will have a major stable situation in the next fifty years. There is no controversy at this time. room."

Faced with Song Biao's tough attitude, everyone had nothing to say. In fact, everyone here still hoped to avoid a civil war, except Song Biao and Shu Fangde.

The Tongmenghui is now grasping public opinion, actively demanding the avoidance of civil war, and demanding that the country be determined in the form of parliament. If they use various means to retake over it, hundreds of thousands of members of the Restoration Association will directly withdraw from the political stage.

All the big stages of Congress were given to the Tongmenghui.

Thinking about beauty.

Song Biao made up his mind to fight a civil war and was actively preparing for the war.

Among the six vice presidents, Cai Yuanpei and Tang Shaoyi have the weakest positions. Zhang Binglin, Tao Chengzhang, and Qiu Jin are in the middle. They do not want to fight a civil war between revolutionary parties, but they do not want the revolutionary achievements to be occupied by the Tongmenghui. Shu Fangde is determined.

Support the civil war, first eliminate military dissidents and then talk about Congress.

Song Biao chose to arrange Tang Shaoyi as the president, but in fact he only valued Tang Shaoyi's relatively rich administrative management experience. In terms of major policies, he had no intention of letting Tang Shaoyi control it, and this person was not suitable to control major policies.

After the meeting, Song Biao stayed alone by Zhang Binglin and Tao Chengzhang, asking them to organize a counterattack in public opinion war as soon as possible, and pulled Wang Zhaoming's pen from Japan back to China, and made efforts through the Propaganda Bureau of the China Revolutionary Army and the Propaganda Department of the Restoration Association at the same time.

Fight the public opinion war to discredit opponents.

Even though Zhang Binglin and Tao Chengzhang supported Song Biao to fight a public opinion war, these vice presidents generally disappointed Song Biao. He had decided to pull Wang Zhaoming out and push him up to fight a political war with the Tongmenghui.

The Qing Dynasty was overthrown, and the fierce division between the Restoration Association and the Tongmeng Association also became a new major trend and could not be stopped at all. (To be continued)
