The Two Heroes Meeting (please vote for me!)

"When the train pulled out of Lianyun Railway Station, accompanied by the sound of the whistle, everyone witnessed history and a new era. (_《》){《》 }

China! The prologue has begun today!”

As soon as Li Zicheng's special train left Lianyungang, Yuan Shikai knew about it in Beijing. It was impossible for him not to know that the whole of China was paying attention to that train, paying attention to the young people on the train, and also paying attention to Li Lianyun when he arrived in the capital.

Later, I met with him, the President of the Republic of China.

After learning the news of Li Zicheng's departure, Yuan Shikai breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he became worried about gains and losses, and even became a little uneasy. Why did Li Zicheng come to the capital? It was Yuan Shikai who invited him. The purpose of inviting him was to make Li Zicheng come to the capital.

He became Prime Minister because of...

But all that was just the initial plan, and plans never kept pace with changes. Now that Li Zicheng has come to the capital to serve as Prime Minister, he is dividing the power from Yuan Shikai. He doesn't want to do it, and he doesn't want to divide power, but he can't ignore it. This is

A headache.

Yuan Shikai, who was sitting in Jurentang Hall, looked at the clock and once again worried about gains and losses.

People are always like this, whether they want to or not, they always need to make a decision, although sometimes that decision is very difficult to make.

Yuan Shikai lost weight.

That's sad and thin. When a person becomes thinner, his originally not generous face seems to shrink again, and he looks more energetic. He looked in the mirror and said to himself:

"Is this what it looks like to be president?"

Quite ashamed. However, he smiled again:

"Just like this, I can become the president!"

When he closed his eyes and thought about his position as president, Li Zicheng and the State Council who were about to come to the capital once again appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but become uneasy. He took the list

, that was a list of the five chief ministers of the State Council that Liang Qichao brought back when he came back. He looked at them one by one, thought about them one by one, and criticized them one by one:

He frowned severely at Chen Jintao, who was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer.

"This is a copper pea!"

Yuan Shikai is no stranger to Chen Jintao. He once studied in the United States at official expense. He first entered Columbia University, where he studied mathematics and sociology. He then entered Yale University and switched to political economics. After returning to China, he took the Ministry of Justice examination and passed the examination for progress in law and politics.

He was admitted to the Hanlin Academy. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, he served as the supervisor of the Qing Dynasty Bank, the budget director of the branch, the director of the Statistics Bureau, the director of the Printing and Mining Bureau, and the chairman of the Currency Reform Committee. After the Republic of China, he served as the Finance Minister of the Provisional Government and later as a senator of the Kuomintang.

.

The provisional government was established and Chen Jintao became the Chief of Finance. Raising military and administrative expenditures became the top priority of the provisional government. For Chen Jintao, there was nothing more urgent than the rapid establishment of a central bank. The powerful Qing Bank was what he relied on

After taking office, Chen Jintao did not stay in Nanjing, the capital. Instead, he stayed in Shanghai and lived above the Daqing Bank on Hankou Road. He discussed and planned with the senior officials of the former Daqing Bank to change Daqing Bank to Bank of China and establish

Central Bank of the Provisional Government.

But what impressed Yuan Shikai the most was that he was a very upright and honest man, very strict in his duties, and he was the worst at cheating and taking bribes. It was for this reason that he called him "Bronze Bowl Dou". If Li Zicheng had chosen someone else,

Yuan Shikai didn't realize anything. He had seen too many officials, and he had also seen a lot of upright officials, but there were not many upright and talented officials. This Chen Lansheng was extraordinary. This man was not only upright, but also good at

Finance is one of the few financial experts in the country. Even after he established the Bank of China and used the Bank of China as the central bank, Yuan Shikai's staff once said that if the revolutionary party was given one year, the financial situation of the provisional government would be very different.

It is appropriate for such a financial management expert to serve as the Chief Financial Officer, but it is not good news for Yuan Shikai. The reason is very simple - Chen Jintao cannot be used by him! For this reason, in the past few years, he would rather "

He didn't use him even if he was a "waste talent", but now, Li Zicheng used him! How could he not be grateful for his kindness and try his best to manage his finances?

Fortunately, fortunately, Liang Shiyi still has ways to contain the Ministry of Finance, and Chen Jintao's character is too upright. It is not necessarily a bad thing for him to serve as the Minister of Finance.

As for Cai Yuanpei, the director-general of the Ministry of Education, this was not surprising. Cai Yuanpei was a Jinshi scholar and served as an editor of the Hanlin Academy. The director-general of education during the provisional government was appointed as the director-general of the Ministry of Education by the Ministry of Education's Office of Education Supervision.

As expected.

Then there is the director-general of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Li Zicheng wanted to save trouble and let him take the post directly. This was unexpected. Originally, according to Yuan Shikai's idea, Li Zicheng should appoint his own people in these five ministries in a "mutual reward" manner.

But he chose to take matters into his own hands, but this is understandable. When it comes to running industries in China, he, Li Zicheng, said that he was ranked second, and no one dared to admit that he was number one.

Then there is the director-general of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Zhang Jizhi from Nantong. Yuan Shikai has no bad feelings towards Zhang Jizhi. The two are old friends. Yuan Shikai is not worried about Zhang Jizhi at all. I am afraid that the number one scholar will be the director-general of agriculture and forestry.

It's just a one-pay job.

The last one was the Director-General of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Looking at the candidate for the Director-General of the Internal Affairs, Yuan Shikai was stunned. This person had never been found in his intelligence. It could be said that this person was a complete stranger.

How did you get such an unknown person to be the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Yuan Shikai, who was pondering and puzzled, finally just smiled and left.

Putting down the list of five people, Yuan Shikai picked up the teacup, held it in both hands, and walked slowly under the dim light, but his mind was racing...

Although Li Zicheng had already made a plan for coming to Beijing, there were still some things that made it difficult to feel at ease when things came to a close. After all, a plan was still a plan, and who knew whether there would be any changes.

Just at this moment Yuan Keding came in. He stood beside his father and said nothing.

"uncle,"

Yuan Keding walked up to his father and said:

"Li Zicheng is here?"

When mentioning Li Zicheng's name, Yuan Keding showed no respect for his "brother-in-law". In fact, he was disgusted with Li Zicheng from the bottom of his heart. The reasons were very simple. First, because of his talent and

Secondly, because of his age. In front of him, even though he is the eldest son of the president, he has no sense of superiority at all.

"Um."

Yuan Shikai responded. He was so thoughtful that he didn't hear the displeasure in his eldest son's words.

"Are you worried about this?"

"Um."

"What are you worried about? Just find a way to block it."

"What can I do?"

"Let Shandong cut off the railway so that they can't get through."

"Bullshit."

Yuan Shikai glared at his son, but in his heart he just sighed that his son was not living up to expectations and had no vision at all.

"If you break the railway, you have to repair it yourself. You can't escape the first day of the new year, but you can't escape the fifteenth day. What's the use of procrastinating for those days?"

"Then create trouble,"

Yuan Keding is a guy who doesn't talk about strategies and uses unscrupulous means. Since his father is worried about Li Zicheng's coming to Beijing, he, as a son, has to share the worries for his father.

"Then blow them up on the road!"

"fart!"

Yuan Shikai was angry!

He had never been so angry before, and he still accepted his son's words and strategies calmly. Today, his son's suggestions finally made him understand that his son was just a pile of mud, a mud that could not hold up the wall!

"One Li Zicheng is equivalent to thousands of troops and has a higher reputation than a prime minister. Who dares to kill him? He still has 200,000 strong troops. His march north is earth-shattering. If you blow them up on the road, the situation will be dire.

What will happen? Who will clean up?"

After a pause, he added:

"Blowing them up is equivalent to killing me, the president. What's more, your father and I haven't taken off the label of "Zhang Yuan Case" until now! What a bastard idea? Blow up the railway, huh, what are you doing?

Don’t blow up Zhongnanhai too!”

After being scolded by his father, Yuan Keding calmed down. Only then did he realize that the "Zhang Yuan case" would be blamed by his father, or if he put another gun on the railway, the consequences would be worse than "

The Zhang Yuan case is still serious.

"Yes, there is something to be done. The most important thing now is to let Li Zicheng come forward and explain the "Zhang Yuan case" clearly."

When Yuan Keding was silent, Yuan Shikai looked at his eldest son and sighed in his heart:

"Blowing up Li Zhiyuan is not a solution. Chipping his energy and letting him breathe a sigh of relief is one of the first aid methods."

He looked up at his son again, and then Yuan Shikai said to his son:

"Now, everything you do must adapt to the situation, that is, adapt to the trend. The State Council is about to be established. As the president, I invited Li Zicheng to come to serve as the prime minister. Therefore, when Li Zicheng comes, we have to express our gratitude and praise.

Warmly welcome. You have to do it and show it to the Chinese people. Besides, naturally you have to find a way and make a formality..."

Yuan Keding was already smart enough. He could come up with many "clever ideas" just by turning his eyes. Although there were both good and bad ideas, they were better than "honest people" who couldn't kick a fart with three kicks. After his father reminded him, he suddenly became enlightened.

stand up.

"Ah, I see!"

Yuan Keding put his mouth to his father's ear, spoke in a contemplative manner, and asked:

"Uncle, how about this?"

Yuan Shikai squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, nodded slightly and said:

"It's a good idea, but it's not perfect yet."

"What the uncle means is..."

Yuan Shikai also imitated his son's method, put his mouth close to his ear, lowered his voice, and said something with a look, then turned his face and said softly:

"You have to handle this matter yourself. Not only do you want to weaken his spirit, but you also want to show it to the people of the country and tell them that China's affairs still have to rely on me. Do you understand?"
