Beiyang reactionaries

"I support Confucianism's thought of joining the world. Those who are capable, those who are good, and those who want to change China's status quo should indeed actively participate in politics and actively participate in politics. I think your attitude is right. Only Only when more and more good people and more capable people participate in politics can change China's future. Therefore, I very much support your ideas, Prime Minister."

"Oh, if only I could think so."

"Prime Minister, because of this, I don't want you to leave politics."

"kindness?"

Wang Chonghui paused.

Duan Xun looked at Wang Chonghui and said, "Prime Minister, you should know about the recent 'Washington Conference'."

"of course."

"Prime Minister, since the beginning of the Opium War, we have signed countless contracts with world powers. And those contracts are all unequal treaties, and they are all treaties that are forced on us. Those things are the shame of our China. The shame of politicians. Of course, for people like me who were born in the military, it is an indelible shame. The reason why we signed such unequal treaties one after another is because of the failure of us soldiers on the battlefield. Therefore, I have been burdened with shame since I was a child in the military academy. Therefore, before I entered Beijing, I set a goal for myself, that is, I must solve these historical problems in my lifetime, and I must complete the country and the nation. Independence. This is the task that history has entrusted to our generation. But it will take a long time to accomplish this goal, and we need to work together.”

the first time.

It was the first time that Wang Chonghui talked about some of his thoughts when he was the prime minister of the cabinet, and it was also the first time that Duan Xun talked about his ambitions in front of Wang Chonghui.Wang Chonghui was momentarily taken aback.

Wang Chonghui has been in the Ministry of Justice for many years and has dealt with many people.

Duan Xun was the first.

Those who dare to say such a thing.

The true independence of the country and the nation, to solve the problems left over from history.It sounds so exciting.Wang Conghui is a scholar, and also belongs to an old school scholar.

Since I was a child, I have had that feeling of family, country and world.

"President Duan, do you think it's possible?"

great powers.

As a person in the Ministry of Criminal Justice since the end of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Chonghui has seen the attitude of the Chinese government towards the great powers.That's called being cautious.The government bosses dare not be careless about any foreign-related matters.

A small foreign businessman dares to run amok on the land of China.

Of course the reason is very simple.

Great powers are powerful.

"Of course. Prime Minister, remember I said that our country needs more than 200 million army troops. In fact, this is the beginning. I hope that within 15 years, our country will have 200 million army troops and 15 aircraft. We have tens of thousands of cannons and tanks. Within [-] years, our country can produce its own planes, tanks, cannons, and even warships. When we have such strength, why should we listen to others? The words of the Great Powers."

"But these?"

Wang Chonghui originally wanted to say something.

But thinking of Duan Xun's background as a soldier, and remembering what Duan Xun did this year, Wang Chonghui suddenly couldn't continue.After all, Wang Chonghui is a serious cabinet minister, so he knows some things.

Duan Xun's first batch of recruit training has ended, and a large-scale military expansion has begun.And the recruitment of the second batch has also ended.Although the specific data of Wang Chonghui is not very clear, but the number of recruits recruited twice is more than 15 for sure.

200 million army troops?

It's really possible.

It might not even take 15 years.If China really has 200 million army troops, then the young general in front of him might really dare to challenge the great powers.

After all, this is the man who bombarded a British warship and shot a French businessman.

"Prime Minister, I hope that even if you resign, you should not leave completely."

"what can I do?"

"Prime Minister, I am going to set up a foreign-related legal committee. It is mainly responsible for cooperating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, negotiating with foreign powers, finding out the basis from the legal level, and making preparations for the recovery of concessions and consular jurisdiction."

"You want me to be responsible."

"Yes. Prime Minister, you are a well-known figure in our country's legal circle, and you are familiar with our country's laws and international laws."

"Let me think."

"Also, Prime Minister. I also want the Prime Minister to be President of the Supreme Court."

Wang Chonghui is not a qualified prime minister.

But Wang Chonghui is a talent, a very outstanding talent in law.Letting him leave the political arena is a loss to the political circles.Duan Xun hopes to give full play to Wang Chonghui's strength.

Wang Chonghui thought for a while and said, "Prime Minister Duan, I just handed in my resignation letter, and I haven't thought about those things at all. I will think about it when I go back."

336 Cabinet meeting 8

The Beijing government was originally very calm.

President Xu Shichang, Cabinet Prime Minister Wang Chonghui, and Cabinet Vice Premiers Duan Xun and Dai Kan have not had any major problems in the past year and a half, so the Beijing government has been very stable in the past year and a half.Since the founding of the Republic of China, this year and a half can be regarded as the most stable year and a half in the history of the Republic of China.

There have been no disputes between the government and the court, and there has been basically no alternation of cabinet chiefs, and the overall stability has been stable.

Xu Shichang is an old man in the officialdom. He was able to have both sides in several direct Anhui wars, maintain his position, and has a good eye.Regardless of who controls the Beijing government, Xu Shichang will not argue with anyone, especially with those who hold the army.Therefore, Xu Shichang's position as president is very stable.Not only because Xu Shichang is smart and knows how to make concessions.Another point is that Xu Shichang has a high status and deep qualifications in the Beiyang Army.As long as it's not a big problem, everyone will give Xu Shichang a little face.

The cabinet premier Wang Chonghui is more of a scholar and a literati.He is sometimes paranoid and idealistic, but his political skills are very naive.Duan Xun, as the de facto controller of the Beijing government, gave Wang Chonghui enough face, making the Beijing government very stable this year.

I haven't heard of any conflicts between them.

However, when welcoming 1922, Wang Chonghui submitted a resignation report to the presidential palace very suddenly.

On January 1922, 1, Xu Shichang vetoed Wang Chonghui's resignation report and asked Wang Chonghui to stay.However, on the afternoon when Xu Shichang rejected Wang Chonghui's resignation report, Wang Chonghui submitted another resignation report.And in the face of the media, he publicly stated that he was not qualified to be the prime minister of the cabinet.As a student of law, he prefers to do things in the legal industry.Not only is it a public resignation, but Wang Chonghui also said that Duan Xun, the current deputy prime minister of the cabinet, is far more suitable than himself as the prime minister of the cabinet.

Wang Chonghui directly recommended Duan Xun.Wang Chonghui publicly praised Duan Xun's performance in the cabinet over the past year and a half, and believed that Duan Xun is currently the most qualified person to be the prime minister of the cabinet.

On January 1922, 1, Xu Shichang approved Wang Chonghui's resignation report as the President.So far, Wang Chonghui's cabinet of nearly two years has come to an end.Although Wang Chonghui does not seem to be strong at all, he is the least prime minister among the previous cabinets, and the prime minister who has the least authority as a prime minister.Because he has no foundation in the army, nor is he from the Beiyang Army, and he has no prominent reputation in other areas except the judiciary, but he has been the prime minister of the cabinet for nearly two years.After the founding of the Republic of China, Wang Chonghui was the person who sat in the position of prime minister for the longest time.If it weren't for the voluntary resignation this time, there would be no problem filling the cabinet with prime ministers.Moreover, when Wang Chonghui was the prime minister of the cabinet, it was the cabinet with the least contradictions and the most stable cabinet in the history of the Republic of China.

While Xu Shichang approved Wang Chonghui's resignation, he appointed Duan Xun, the current cabinet deputy prime minister, as the interim cabinet prime minister to replace Wang Chonghui in charge of cabinet affairs.

If Duan Xun wants to become a real prime minister, he still needs the approval of Congress.

Duan Xun accepted the appointment on the same day.

On the occasion of accepting the appointment, Duan Xun publicly praised Wang Chonghui's contribution to the cabinet premier.Including the years when the Beijing government was short of finances, as well as the second direct Anhui war and the aftermath of the war, including the handling of the Gansu earthquake, all were highly evaluated.He believes that Wang Chonghui is a very qualified prime minister who has made great contributions to stabilizing the Beijing government and stabilizing the situation in China.Since the founding of the Republic of China, the prime minister with the best achievements.

Then an open invitation was issued to Wang Chonghui.

I hope Wang Chonghui can use his legal knowledge to make more contributions in the judicial circle.Wang Chonghui was invited to serve as the president of the Supreme Court, the director of the National Law Popularization Committee, and the director of the National Foreign Law Committee.

On January 1922, 1, Wang Chonghui expressed his willingness to accept Duan Xun's invitation and to do more for China's judicial development.

On January 1922, 1, Duan Xun, as the prime minister of the interim cabinet, appointed Wang Chonghui as the president of the Supreme Court, appointed Wang Chonghui as the director of the Law Popularization Committee, appointed Wang Chonghui as the director of the Foreign Law Committee, and appointed Wang Chonghui as the director of the Constitution Improvement Committee.Anyway, a lot of legal positions.

very natural.
