Chapter 155: The National Capital, The Crown Prince

Cao Kun and Wu Peifu finally met Li Changgeng. Both of them saw the fatigue on Li Changgeng's face. It was obvious that Li Changgeng was not holding airs, but really had no time to see him.

Cao Kun didn't call him the name of his brother like last time, but solemnly called him Commander-in-Chief. Wu Peifu had long been used to calling him, so he used to the deputy, and the Commander-in-Chief called him extremely smoothly.

If Cao Kun had not visited for more than a week, he would have many conditions to negotiate with Li Changgeng. However, after this week, after seeing the scale and efficiency of Heilongjiang Weapon Manufacturing Company, he knew that his conditions were not needed. The speed of the rifle production in one day was enough for him to produce at the Jinling Arsenal for two months. Other weapons were incomparable. Cao San was a fool who could take advantage of him and let him go. As soon as he sat down, he said to Li Changgeng: "Commander-in-Chief, after visiting Harbin this week, I, Lao Cao, saw the world. I didn't expect you to build Northeast into this scene in three and a half years. Shanghai and Harbin are far inferior. I, Lao Cao, have no conditions, but I, I, I, can treat my brothers well with Cao's subordinates!"

Li Changgeng looked at Cao Kun with a smile on his face for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Brother Cao is indeed a real man. Why do you think that Li Changgen dare not use you? Just say this to you, I have to look up to you. Of course, I am not a good person. Even if Brother Cao supports his brother to carry the burden of Beiyang, we have to act as soon as possible. The foundation of the Zhi army is good, at least there is no smoking cigarettes, and the problem of empty salary is not serious. It's just that the equipment training is not as good as the times. This doesn't matter. With the benefits of our Northeast Army, we can't fall into the Zhili department. To be honest, everyone is divided into this department and that department of Beiyang, and it's purely to cause trouble for themselves. From now on, in my eyes of Li Changgeng, there will be no Fengshi, Zhili department. There are only the Republic of China!"

Cao Kun was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't you let me turn on the electricity and get out of the wilderness?"

"The electricity needs to be connected, but it is not to let you step down. I formally invite you to run for vice president with me."

"Running for the president?" Cao Kun said stunned.

"Why can Duan Qirui be the prime minister? Can you not be the vice president? I think you will succeed!"

Wu Peifu quickly stood up and said, "Fu fully supports the commander-in-chief in running for president!"

Zhang Zuolin smiled and said, "Okay, Zhongshan, Ziyu, you all sit down. We are all old acquaintances. We are so polite. Some people say that he is Li Qiming's unfulfilled friendship with a landlord! Let's sit down and make a total of the total!"

Cao Kun is a very eye-catching person. Knowing that Li Changgeng and Zhang Zuolin have accepted the direct relationship, they are not in line with the formalities when they are polite. They said, "Anyway, Ziyu and I will go back to Nanjing to dispatch troops as soon as possible. We will attack Duan Zhiquan, the old boy from north to south. I, Cao Kun, have long looked down on his bad face."

Li Changgeng nodded: "Now Duan Qirui and his Anhui faction have not yet moved. I think they are going to have a tough relationship with our Northeast Army. In this way, there will be Lao Zhongshan and Ziyu. It is not my usual marching and fighting. I would like to ask Ziyu and Baili to study it together. Another problem is that the Anhui faction operated by the Anhui faction is not true. Zhongshan and Ziyu have also raised doubts about Duan Qirui's manipulation of the Anhui congress election. I also agree with your point of view.

My idea is that if you elect a president, you need a national congress. The country is the most important thing, the people are the most important. I think it should be called the National Congress. The National Congress is the state rights organ of the Republic of China, and the representatives are elected from the people. The National Congress consists of three levels, one level is the National Congress, and the second level is the provincial national congress. The third level is the county-level people's congress. When electing representatives, election points are set up at the township level.

The National Congress holds a meeting once a year, and national representatives and state managers participate in politics and make decisions. Every five years, the president of the Republic of China is elected. Members of the Standing Committee are elected, and the Standing Committee of the National Congress is elected by the committee members. First, the Standing Committee of the National Congress has nine special committees, namely the Legal Committee, the Ethnic Committee, the Internal Affairs Committee, the Finance and Economic Committee, the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Industry Committee, the Commerce Committee, the Agriculture Committee, and the Education Committee. Second, the Standing Committee of the National Congress has work and offices or machine purchases. General Office, the Legal Work Committee, the Budget Work Committee, and the Special Committee Office. Third, the Standing Committee of the National Congress has a representative qualification review committee.”

After hearing what Li Changgeng said, all the three people sitting there became thoughts. Although none of them were politicians, they were all good at sitting here. From a formal perspective, if this National Congress was implemented as Li Changgeng said, it would definitely not be the decoration of the current Congress.

Zhang Zuolin thought for a while and asked: "The power of the Chairman of Qiming, the National Congress, is extraordinary. I wonder what you have to do."

Seeing Cao Kun and Wu Peifu both raised their ears, Li Changgeng smiled: "Since I proposed this National Congress, this National Congress is naturally uneasy to let others serve. Not only is Xu Shichang the prestige of the president, he has a good ability to govern the country. I think he can work for at least five years. I want the seventh brother to be the position of Prime Minister, Zhongshan is the vice president, and I want Ziyu to be the Minister of National Defense of the Republic of China. As for Duan Qirui, although the Prime Minister is incompetent, I think he can still be a good person as the principal of an artillery academy."

Li Changgeng's wish to be appointed as an official was straightforward, and he made a vice president, a prime minister and a minister of national defense in one breath. Of course, this directness is also popular among the three old warlords. Li Changgeng himself was not polite, and tailored a chairman for himself. If Yang Du was here, he would definitely guess what Li Changgeng was thinking. There are too many tricks in the chairman's operation. Just listening to the committee's subordinate agencies, you can know how powerful the chairman has, and in fact it is far more than that. This chairman can completely manipulate the subordinate committee, hold the banner of public opinion to overthrow the Presidential Office and the State Council, and treat the president and the prime minister as decorations.

Seeing that the three of them were very satisfied and achieved their expected goals, Li Changgeng continued: "We all came from the military system, and our understanding of the army is much higher than our understanding of government affairs. Now there are many parties in the Republic of China, which are mixed. This is not conducive to China's goal of modernizing and becoming a world power. So my idea is one party, one country, one party, one party, one party, one party, one party, one party, one party, one party, and one party, the country, and the army.

In this way, I want to establish a National Socialist Bauhinism Party National Defense and Military Committee. This committee has a chairman and seven vice chairmen. As the leader of the National Socialist Party, Geng takes the position of chairman. The vice chairman is Qige, Zhongshan, Ziyu, Jiang Baili (Jiang Fangzhen), Xu Zhitian (Xu Lanzhou), and Sun Zhanao (Sun Liechen). The members are the General Staff Department, General Logistics Department, General Political Department and the governors of various provinces. I wonder what the two of them mean?”

Cao and Wu finally understood what Li Changgeng meant. They were playing the role of the party, government and military, and they were good means. They were so bad and domineering. With these three means, the president and the prime minister were all the president and who could be the one who could be the one. If it really happened, it was no different from being an emperor. If Yuan Shikai had such a routine, he would be called the emperor.

At this moment, Yang Dulai reported to Li Changgeng about the preparations for the first National Congress of the National Socialist Baath Party. After seeing Cao and Wu, he nodded and smiled, and said without hesitation: "The Commander-in-Chief's list of representatives of the Party members of the National Socialist Party has been listed. There are 2,431 participants in total. The topic of this conference is to determine the Party Constitution, elect the Supreme Executive Committee of the Party, and determine the near-term Party action goals. Three issues. There is only one difficult issue now. Please ask the Commander-in-Chief to decide, that is, the location of the meeting. There are currently three locations. One is Harbin, one is Beijing and one is Xi'an."

As soon as Yang Du finished speaking, Zhang, Cao and Wu were present, and wanted to hear how Li Changgeng chose, because the meeting place was likely to be the capital where Li Changgeng established its foundation. Harbin is Li Changgeng's old home. He has the most advantage in meetings here, both in people's hearts and industries, and of course it is the worst choice, because Harbin's geographical location determines that it is not suitable to become the capital. Beijing has been the center of power for the country since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is currently the political center of the Republic of China. If Li Changgeng wants to become the first chair of the Republic of China, it is the most convenient to sit in Beijing, and it has the Northeast as a support, but the disadvantages and advantages are the same, that is, people's inertia thinking will link Li Changgeng with several previous presidents in Beiyang. As for Xi'an, the capital of the Han and Tang dynasties, the capital of China's most powerful dynasty, Han and Tang dynasties, is definitely the first place in the minds of Chinese people.

Li Changgeng stood up and thought. He didn't care about the problem of capital setting that Yang Du had thrown to him. Since ancient times, this has been decided by the founding emperor. Today, Li Changgeng is qualified to decide this problem. He said to Yang Du: "Get the map!" A newly published map of China was carried in by several guards. Li Changgeng looked at it for a while and said, "You have guessed that the meeting location of the First National Congress of our National Socialist Party is the capital of the Republic of China in the future. I have considered it.

Harbin is the place where I, Li Changgeng, made my fortune. Although the conditions are good in all aspects, the region determines that it is only suitable as a capital. Not to mention Beijing's strategic position, it means that the 500-year-old corrupt rule of the Qing Dynasty, so I don't like it.

Xi'an is the capital of the thirteen dynasties of the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties in China. Now our Northeast Army has restored its territory during the Han and Tang dynasties. Xi'an's geographical advantages determine the superiority of Xi'an becoming the capital of China in the second time. In addition, in the eastern part of China, the terrain is gentle and close to the ocean is more conducive to the development of the economy, but the western part of China is poor, the economy is backward, and the population composition is complex. But with the new capital here, it will inevitably drive the prosperity of the entire western region in many fields such as politics, military, economy, education, and transportation. So I decided that the new capital of the Republic of China is here - Chang'an!"

Yang Du and Wu Peifu, who were scholars, were both shocked. Chang'an - Chang'an, a long-standing name. But whenever they heard the word Chang'an, there were always some exciting feelings in these two words! Li Changgeng was talking about Chang'an instead of Xi'an. Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin had no idea. Didn't they just build a capital? That was not what the founding emperor did!

Li Changgeng joked: "Don't you think my surname is very destined to Chang'an?"

Yang Du continued with a smile: "If you have fate, of course you have fate. Isn't the Tang Dynasty established by the Li family? The commander-in-chief is not the Miao descendant of the Emperor Tang!"

"That's right. Our family has long lost its genealogy. According to the surname, it was a family of five hundred years ago. I really might have some royal relatives." After Li Changgeng said that, he looked at Yang Du meaningfully.

Yang Du, who understood it, changed the topic, "I said it's almost time for dinner, I'll go to Zhang!"

Li Changgeng looked at his watch, "Oh, you missed the time for dinner. You're so pretty, I don't think you can arrange meals in the cafeteria. Let's take some food from the cafeteria to my house for a good drink."

Zhang Zuolin also smiled and said, "We eat big pot rice in Northeast China, but there is no limit on this wine. Let's drink it openly and compete!"

"Hahaha, okay, I, Lao Cao, I love to drink this sip. I didn't have enough drinks with the commander-in-chief last year, so I will continue today. By the way, I still drink the burning knife from the Lao Lin shop!" Cao Kun said casually. But it was not difficult to hear that caution in his tone.

"Okay, let's take a burning knife from Lao Linshu. We will make a pound of base each of us. By the way, I went to negotiate with Lenin last time. Someone from the Sakura Province gave me two jars of wine. We'll drink it all in a while!"

Li Changgeng's home still lives in the current Heilongjiang Governor's Office in the former Songjiang Daotai Prefecture. With the expansion of Harbin and the establishment of the Northeast Army General Command, the departments in the Governor's Office have been moved out one after another. Li Changgeng's daily office is also in the Oriental Building of the Northeast Army General Command. Now only the backyard of Daotai Prefecture Li Changgen lives in his family, and there are only a few private staff members in the name of the Bureau of Statistics in the front yard. Li Changgeng's next plan to convert the Heilongjiang Governor's Office into a Harbin Museum if the capital is established.

The group held a banquet in the Huihua official hall of the Governor's Office. After Zhang Zuolin sat down, he said to Li Changgeng: "Where is my little nephew?"

As soon as Zhang Zuolin finished speaking, Qiao Mochou came in from the door with Li Changgeng's son in his arms and bowed to several people: "I heard from the servants that Brother Qi is here. I will come over to show you with Baoer. I think these two people are General Cao and General Wu. Is Mochou polite?"

Zhang Zuolin hurriedly stepped forward, took the child from Qiao Mochou, hugged it in his arms and smiled, "This kid is so handsome. In the future, we will be the young commander of the Northeast Army. Let's see what good things your seventh uncle brings to you." As he said that, Zhang Zuolin took out a ringing bell from his pocket and teased the child. He teased for a while and looked up to Li Changgeng and said, "I said, "Old brother, you can write poems and songs at the same time. Why is it so hard to name your son? It's almost two months."

Li Changgeng scratched his head and smiled, "Why is it not difficult? There are dozens of alternative names now. I'm so angry about naming Baoer now!"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that you, Li Changgeng, would be indecisive." Zhang Zuolin smiled for a while and asked again: "Do you Li's family have no genealogy?"

"If there is, I won't have any trouble!" Li Changgeng patted his forehead and took his son from Zhang Zuolin's hand and started to tease him.

Cao and Wu looked at the close relationship between Zhang and Li, and couldn't help but feel envious. The fact that the Northeast can make its fortune today has an absolute relationship with the relationship between the upper class.

Several big men gathered in a circle and teased Li Changgeng's son in his arms. Yang Du smiled and said, "The Commander-in-Chief is about to expand territory and unify the whole country. When Baoer comes, he will have to learn the ability to govern the country in the future. I think the Commander-in-Chief might as well think from this aspect."

Li Changgeng handed over the son in his arms to Qiao Mochou and smiled and said, "Is there any idea that I didn't decide? Otherwise, Mochou, how about giving you the important task of Baoer's naming?"

Qiao Mochou glared at Li Changgeng, "I didn't expect that our commander-in-chief would have a time to take responsibility. If you ask me to get up, you'll be called Wuming!"

"Haha--Wu Ming, the beginning of the world of Wuming, the opportunity of Wuming, Wuming is very good. Just call Li Wuming!" Li Changgen nodded repeatedly as if he was obstructed by the demon. Qiao Mochou was so angry that he stomped his feet, "Seventh Brother Xizi, why don't you talk about him!"

Zhang Zuolin shook his head and said, "Why should I say to him? I am an uneducated old bandit. The boy Qiming scolded me like this two days ago. I can't tell him. Let's talk to him!"

Yang Du is a man who can take advantage of the situation and quickly said, "Commander-in-Chief, Wuming is not that nice. I think he might as well call him Wuji."

Li Changgeng stopped laughing Li Wuji, why does this name sound familiar? Oh, by the way, the paradise in the battle for the world, relied on his invincible martial arts to stabilize the world's black and white. "Okay! This Li Wuji's name sounds loud enough. My Li Changgeng's son wants Wuji World! Come on, I have been drunk today to name my Wujier!"

Qiao Mochou was extremely happy to hear her son's name. Although she preferred to call him Baoer, she was also very fond of the name Wuji. Li Changgeng, who was pulling Yang Du endlessly asked questions, called Wujier a few times and said to Cao, Wu and others: "I won't disturb you, you should drink less wine. It's important to take care of your health!"

Zhang Zuolin nodded repeatedly: "Go and sister, go and rest!"

Looking at Qiao Mochou's background, Zhang Zuolin remembered his in-law Yu Wendou's reminder to him, Yuting, Li Qiming, who is not a province, can trap him, and his talent is enough to rule the country. Yuting, you have more talent than you have to rule the country, but there are many shortcomings to rule the country! Why not give up the position of Commander-in-Chief to Li Changgeng, who has just become a new climate. In the future, the benefits may not be less than the commander-in-chief in front of him. It is precisely because of this that he gave up the power of Commander-in-Chief. Then, while Fenglangjuxu was in the process of taking Qiao Mochou and Li Changgeng's son to the parade platform, and determined the status of Li Changgeng's son! (To be continued...)
