Volume Four The Battle of Unification Chapter 634: Dismembering the Anfu Congress

The Anhui and Zhili had never thought that Wang Maoru's purpose of rectifying the newspaper industry was to attack the Anhui Congress. On October 8, 2019, before Double Tenth Festival, all newspapers reported on the origin of the Anhui Congress together, and removed the Provisional Parliament and was not the French Congress. For a moment, the important members of the Anhui government were completely unable to withstand it. And the infected people from the north, especially the Provisional Parliament in the south, were all members driven away by Duan Qirui, and they also appeared in the newspaper to criticize the Anhui Congress. Seeing this, the Zhili immediately criticized the Anhui Congress. Even Zhang Zuolin, the Northwest Army, also asked someone to write to criticize the Anhui Congress. The situation of beating the dogs in the water was spectacular.

There were four major news criticisms in the Republic of China, namely the Beijing-Tianjin area, the Songhu area, the three towns of Wuhan and the Guangzhou area. These places were either manipulated by Wang Maoru or had a grudge against Anfu. The Anfu Congress was criticized endlessly. The reporters felt depressed by the implementation of the news management measures and finally had a place to release them. So they grabbed every Anfu Congress and chased them to interview at the door, vowing not to give up until they were destroyed.

Under this public pressure, the normal convening of Congress has become a reason for being criticized. Wang Yitang, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, had to announce his resignation in shame and resign as the Speaker of the House of Representatives. After Deputy Speaker Liu Enge acted as Speaker of the House of Representatives, he immediately visited Wang Maoru, but was turned away. Wang Maoru knew what he meant, but unfortunately it was too late. When your Anfu Parliament rejected me, why didn't he think about the current outcome? Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Liu Enge persisted for a few days. He couldn't stand the bombardment in the newspaper and resigned.

The two speakers of the House of Representatives resigned, and the two speakers of the Senate had to resign, so the entire country had no parliament for a while. As expected, re-election of the parliament became an urgent task. The Anfu Party was elected in the sixth year of the Republic of China, and next year was the tenth year of the Republic of China, and it was also the year of parliamentary elections every four years. However, now the parliament has been in name only and parliamentary elections must be held immediately.

At this time, the representative of the National Defense Forces and Deputy Army Chief Wang Maoru proposed to President Xu Shichang to re-election of the parliament. The Senate and the House of Representatives must be carried out in accordance with the national election and shall not be made privately. At the same time, the Southern government must also participate in the election and issue an invitation to Sun Yat-sen, the Guangdong Revolutionary Government, to form a government jointly with the north and the south.

Sun Wen was shocked. Wang Maoru made something wrong in the north. He found out that the national parliament had been destroyed. As for who it was, even a fool could think that it was no one else, but Wang Maoru with nine hearts. Sun Wen immediately watched how Wang Maoru made a high-profile Anfu clan. And it took only a month to destroy the parliament. This method and method seemed too incredible to them. Learning that Wang Maoru first started with the direction of controlling public opinion, Sun Wen pondered for a while and said: "This person is becoming more and more dictatorial. The Southern government is uniting with it, which is really a matter of being a tiger."

However, although Sun Yat-sen disagreed, the provisional parliament of the Southern Provisional Revolutionary Government was very interested in this and asked Sun Yat-sen to join. Sun Yat-sen refused.

Subsequently, Vice President Meng Enyuan announced as acting prime minister that the two houses of parliament were formed, and each province of the Senate was elected by a government agency. Shanghai and Beijing belonged to provincial autonomous regions and also had the power of two senators. Since the Republic of China had 29 provinces and two autonomous regions at this time (at that time ** was occupied by the British), there were 62 senators and the appointment period for senators was eight years. Each province of the House of Representatives planned the quota according to the population ratio. There were two provinces with a population of less than one million, and each of the million people had two senators, so the quota of representatives was 426. The members of the House of Representatives were elected within the province, and each province should be elected by senators. Similarly, if you are interested in building a country, you can run for the House of Representatives in this province. The appointment period for the House of Representatives is four years, and you will re-election after four years.

Duan Qirui saw that the Anfu faction had already reached the end of tomorrow, and was very sad and angry. He thought he could still compete with Wang Maoru in Beijing, but Wang Maoru made such a fuss, the parliament was disbanded, and the army was reorganized. What's the point of going on like this? So he said goodbye to Wang Maoru. Wang Maoru firmly disagreed and said why Duan Gong must be persistent? However, Duan Qirui had a strong personality and resigned resolutely. President Xu Shichang did not like Duan Qirui, so he accepted Duan Qirui's second resignation and asked him to go home to be an apartment house.

After the parliament disbanded Duan Qirui's resignation, the Anhui politicians in Beijing changed their parties one after another. In particular, some former Anfu MPs led by Liu Enge immediately fell into Wang Maoru's arms and threatened to run for Wang Maoru. In order to run for membership, Liu Enge immediately ran back to Liaoning to prepare for election as a member of the Congress.

Before the Anfu Parliament was temporarily eliminated and re-enrolled the parliamentary elections, Xu Shichang felt very comfortable during this period, and no one dared to stop the presidential order. He was grateful and afraid of Wang Mao. This smiling young man was like a thorn in his back to him.

Xu Shichang is a good man and a good friend. Although he is biased in his heart, when Cao Kun is dedicated to becoming president, he has to think about a way out. In order to gain the upper hand in next year's presidential election, Cao Kun took the initiative to find Wang Maoru and hoped to be supported. At the same time, Vice President Meng Enyuan relied on his relationship with Wang Maoru, and came to Wang Maoru's mansion, openly and secretly signaled that if he became president, he would definitely hand over the country to him in the future.

Among these three people, no matter who is the president in the future, they are actually controlled by Wang Maoru. However, at this time, Wang Maoru was thinking about another question, that is, how to completely unify the north - Zhang Zuolin's Northwest Army, has not made any comments or any meaning so far. Wang Maoru doesn't know what Zhang Zuolin, his seventh brother, thinks. The situation is clear now. If the Northwest Army wants to compete for the length, he will naturally accompany him to the end. However, the Northwest Army neither wants to fight nor unify, and I really don't know why.

Wang Maoru found Zhang Kui'an and ordered Zhang Kui'an to go to the northwest to discuss the Northwest Army's reorganization. Zhang Kui'an happily accepted that when the parliament was re-elected, Zhang Kui'an felt that relying on his current connections and role, if Wang Maoru was president in the future, he would definitely not have a second choice for the Prime Minister.

Zhang Kui'an's ability to persuade the direct line has already made China famous in the political circles of the Republic of China. This time, Wang Maoru entrusted him with important tasks and went to Xi'an to persuade Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Kui'an was full of confidence and confidence and must convince Zhang Zuolin to accept the reform of the National Defense Forces. However, Zhang Kui'an also expressed concern that Zhang Zuolin is not an ordinary person, and big fish use heavy bait, and I don't know what heavy bait Wang Maoru used for him.

Wang Maoru smiled slightly and said, "Three ways: money, power, and army." Then he explained carefully that asking for money means supporting Zhang Zuolin to participate in the Chinese National Bank. He will definitely be rich and prosperous in ten generations in the future and will never spend money in his lifetime. If you want power, Wang Maoru also let Zhang Zuolin enter the central government and his position is above him. If you want the army, Wang Maoru arranged for him as the commander of the army, but from then on he will not be allowed to interfere in politics and be a pure soldier.

Zhang Kui'an said: "It's better to destroy it in one fell swoop. Now the Northwest Army is between the White Tiger Legion, the Xuanwu Legion and the Qilin Legion, which completely cut off Zhang Zuolin's idea."

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "Civil war, if you can fight, you won't fight. Moreover, the terrain of the northwest region is complex. If we fight Zhang Zuolin to the death - this old boy has this possibility - he hides mountains and rivers in Shaanxi 800 miles away and comes out from time to time to carry out some terrorist attacks, which is enough for us to suffer. What we fear most is this kind of attrition war. The general trend of the country is to be unified as soon as possible. To eliminate opponents, we must also look at the opponent and the people to take advantage of the food. When you go to Xi'an, on the other hand, you have to win over more officers of the Northwest Army. They are all afraid of poverty. If you give some money, these people are very likely to turn the gun. Therefore, to convince Zhang Zuolin, you must also convince the generals of the Northwest Army. Zhang Zuolin has been in the northwest for less than five years and his foundation is unstable. If the Northwest Army is in chaos, he has to agree."

Zhang Kui'an smiled and said, "The more affluent the warlords in the area, the more they will be destroyed, right?"

Wang Maoru pointed at Zhang Kui'an and said, "You boy is getting smarter and smarter."

Zhang Kui'an thoughtful on the way back. Now the only warlords in the wealthy areas outside the government are Lu Yongxiang's Zhejiang Army. Lu Yongxiang's Zhejiang Army and Wang Maoru National Defense Forces are indirect allies. Songhu and Shanghai are the convenience of the estuary of the Yangtze River. Especially as China's largest tobacco distribution center, it has long surpassed Tianjin and Qingdao. The cooperation between the National Defense Force and Lu Yongxiang is to distribute major businesses such as Hulunbuir's opium and cigarettes and cigars in the Northeast.

In addition, the two armies joined forces to drive the tobacco from other warlords out of Shanghai and implemented tobacco monopoly in Songhu. Lu Yongxiang did not pay attention to the tobacco business at first, but he valued the transaction of tobacco, but in fact, for the National Defense Forces, the tobacco business each accounted for half of the tobacco business, and the profit of regular tobacco was even longer. Now Wang Maoru must have begun to deal with Lu Yongxiang, eliminate the warlords in the wealthy areas of Jiangnan, and buy the warlords in the barren areas of the northwest, and Xiu Shuaidu's good plan.

At this moment, Lu Yongxiang was immersed in his confidence in cooperating with the National Defense Forces. Wang Maoru had just called Lu Yongxiang to ask him about the possibility of accepting reorganization, but Lu Yongxiang refused. Wang Maoru just comforted him and told him not to give him a handle.
