Chapter 156 Guangzhou Government

Under the threat of the Japanese, Longyu had to sign her name on a reluctant agreement, and then issued an imperial edict to announce to the world that the Manchu and Mongolia Kingdom was established in the north, and Changchun was established as the capital of the Manchu and Mongolia Kingdom.

Subsequently, under the threat of the Japanese, Yuan Shikai announced that he had recognized the legal status of the Manchu and Mongolia Kingdom, and recognized that Xinjiang, Tibet, Mongolia, Ningxia, Qinghai and the three eastern provinces belonged to the territory of the Manchu and Mongolia Kingdom, while Yuan Shikai only owned several provinces in Beijing, Zhili, Henan, and Shandong, and the sphere of influence was the smallest among the four major areas of China.

Yuan Shikai then announced his claim to emperor on November 15th, establishing the so-called Hongxian Dynasty in Beijing and establishing the Chinese Empire. Two months later, he would hold a ceremony for worshiping heaven and ascension ceremony at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, and officially become the emperor of the Chinese Empire. In this way, the Japanese would like to see China's fragmentation situation finally formed. Then they could defeat them one by one and slowly erode Chinese territory. First, by controlling the two puppets of the Qing Emperor and Yuan Shikai, they would obtain various rights and interests in North China, including a large number of immigrants to North China and Northeast. They were also considering them. After the Japanese managed properly in North China and Northeast, they would wait for an opportunity to go south to occupy the entire China and realize their dreamland of dominating East Asia.

In this way, China gave birth to two emperors and one president. Only Li Tiancheng has not yet made the move to establish the country, and Li Tiancheng does not want to go to the muddy waters at this time. Being a president who is not worthy of his name or an emperor is not what he wants. He must wait until all China is unified in his hands before he can become a veritable head of state.

"The Japanese are so hateful. They actually created two emperors in the north. They were simply evident in their ambitions. They wanted to divide China into pieces and then swallow it up in bites." In the office of the Guangzhou Presidential Palace, Sun Yat-sen suddenly threw a half-drink teacup to the ground, making a loud noise, fragments and tea spilled all over the floor, and then yelled angrily.

Sun Yat-sen wore a navy blue Zhongshan suit he invented. He had previously seen some leaders of the Zhenguo Military Government in the newspaper wearing similar clothes. He was surprised. He didn't know how he and they thought of going together. The style of the clothes was so close, but the clothes worn by officials of the Nanjing government were missing two buttons and two lower pockets. The collars were slightly different. There was almost no difference in the others. However, he didn't know that Li Tiancheng, a time traveler, knew the existence of Zhongshan suit in advance, and designed it in advance after a slight change.

Standing next to Sun Yat-sen were Prime Minister Chen Qimei, Bald Member Chiang Kai-shek, Parliament Speaker Song Jiaoren, Minister of National Defense Huang Xing and other seven or eight others. After hearing the news from the north, they were all angry. This was contrary to their ideal of restoring China. They could not accept the fact that China was divided into several pieces. Now they have joined the intervention of foreign forces, which made the situation even more complicated. It is even more difficult for the new Republic of China, who is still in its infancy to unify the country.

On the day when the government was established, Sun Yat-sen once vowed to command troops to fight the Northern Expedition to unify the whole country, but he mainly targeted Yuan Shikai and the Qing Emperor. Li Tiancheng, who was in the middle, did not know how to deal with it. He had to go through the territory of the Nanjing government to fight the relationship with the Nanjing government, and he had not yet clarified his clues.

"Tell me, is there any possibility of success in our Northern Expedition? Can I, Sun Yat-sen, hold the ideal of most of my life, not realize it in my lifetime?" Sun Yat-sen's mouth twitched, paced back and forth in the office for a few steps, waved excitedly, and anger was burning between his eyebrows.

"With the Japanese stumble, our Northern Expedition plan may be hopeless. Japan has already dispatched more than 100,000 troops in North China. Even Li Tiancheng, who is the leader of the rebel army, had to reach a ceasefire agreement with the Japanese. No more troops to raise troops to the north. What other good ways can we do?" Huang Xing, with four sides and four straight faces, frowned, leaned on the edge of a worker's desk, held his cheek with one hand, and said solemnly to Sun Yat-sen.

"Then should we stay in this small south and do nothing? This is not the best result that I, Sun Yat-sen, hoped to achieve. It is still far from the ideal of our Tongmenghui." Sun Yat-sen continued to wave his hands and said anxiously.

When everyone heard this, they didn't say anything, because there was no good idea in their minds. The Guangzhou Republic of China government had just been established, and there were still many tedious matters that they had to deal with. At this time, they did not have the extra energy to organize the Northern Expedition of the ** Army, and they did not have the extra financial resources to support the army's operations, so they had to choose to remain silent.

"I have a way. I wonder if you will agree?" At this time, Chiang Kai-shek, who was standing next to Chen Qimei, lowered his head and thought for a while, a ray of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he pushed his naked head upwards, looked up at Sun Yat-sen who was still walking back and forth in front and said.

"Jieshi, what are you good ways to tell me?" Sun Yat-sen turned his head and looked at the young Chiang Kai-shek in surprise. He seemed to see a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He asked in a while, and at this time, Chiang Kai-shek had just changed his name to Zhongzheng, with his courtesy name Jieshi. His original name was Jiang Zhiqing, which was several years earlier than the history of changing his name.

Everyone turned their eyes to Chiang Kai-shek, wanting to hear what good suggestions this young man had. Chiang Kai-shek felt everyone's attention, his eyes flashed slightly unnaturally, and then calmed down and said calmly: "My opinion is that we might as well cooperate with the Nanjing government and form a common Northern Expedition army with them, raise troops northward, first defeat Yuan Shikai, and then expel the Japanese from the border. What do you think?"

After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he looked around the seniors around him nervously, wondering if what he said would arouse their ridicule.

"Jieshi, I have considered your suggestion. I have also mentioned it to President Sun once, but we think this plan is very difficult to implement. We need to join forces. It is a question of who the army commands will be, and it will be difficult to reach an agreement on who will be responsible for military pay and other expenses. Even if we propose it, the Nanjing government may not agree with such a proposal." Chen Qimei, who was elegant, then retorted to Chiang Kai-shek. In his eyes, Chiang Kai-shek was still too young and needed a few more years of training before it could be of great use. Therefore, he did not take his suggestion seriously, but just explained it carefully with the mentality of a commander.

"I mean we can consider merging with the Nanjing government to establish a new Republic of China government. In this way, all problems have been solved?" Chiang Kai-shek paused slightly. He knew that Chen Qimei did not understand the true meaning of his words, and then continued to explain seriously.

"Merger, I'm afraid this is not good. Should we merge him or he merge us?" Chen Qimei's expression changed immediately when she heard this, and her face slightly calmly said. He did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek had such amazing ideas.

When everyone heard this, they began to look at each other. Some people chose to remain silent, while others shook their heads and said that Chiang Kai-shek's proposal was not feasible. Only Sun Yat-sen suddenly stopped his restless footsteps and stood there for a long time without moving. He lowered his eyes in the eyes of everyone's attention, as if he was in deep thought and did not rush to make a statement.

"President, what do you mean?" Huang Xing frowned slightly and walked forward, staring at Sun Yat-sen in surprise and asked.

"Merger, this proposal is not bad." After ten seconds of silence, Sun Yat-sen suddenly raised his head and said with a light flashing in his eyes.

"President, do you agree with Jieshi's suggestion? If we merge with the Nanjing government, it would be equivalent to handing over us to Li Tiancheng to lead and handing over our entire Tongmenghui to others. You are not unaware that Li Tiancheng's power is now larger than us. He will never accept our leadership, but we must accept his leadership. You must think clearly." Seeing that Sun Yat-sen agreed with Chiang Kai-shek's suggestion, Song Jiaoren suddenly tensed a little, took a step forward, and advised Sun Yat-sen.

"Yes, President Sun, if all members of our Tongmenghui recognize Li Tiancheng as the president, we will not agree. We will only recognize Mr. Sun as the president of the people." Huang Xing frowned and said anxiously with concern.

"So everyone, do you have any other way to unify China?" Sun Yat-sen was unable to provide a satisfactory answer to his colleagues, so he had to look around these faces staring at him seriously and asked back.

"This..." Huang Xing couldn't speak immediately, and the rest looked at each other, and no one could answer this complicated question.

"I think the plan proposed by Jieshi is considered, but we do not want to fully accept Li Tiancheng's leadership. We can propose to Li Tiancheng that he can cooperate with us to form a new national government in accordance with the Republic of China system. This government can be in Guangzhou or Nanjing. This is not important. What is important is that the head of the government and the cabinet must be elected by members of Congress. At that time, whether it is Sun Yat-sen who continues to serve as president or Li Tiancheng as president, the members of the MP elected by all the people must have the final say, rather than the Tongmenghui and the DPP." Sun Yat-sen then said what he thought in his heart. He had had this idea before, but he had no mature plan and had not proposed to discuss it. Now that Chiang Kai-shek proposed it, he told it out...
