Volume 1 The turbulent times Chapter 151 Prepare for the opening

Yang Yongtai is famous. Fang Zida has heard about this person for a long time. The two parties have known each other but have never had a close relationship. Yang Yongtai is currently a senator in the Congress and is an old man from KMT. He has good personal relationships with Song Jiaoren, Sun Wen and others. Song and Sun Erliang have gone their separate ways.

back

, Sun Wen formed a revolutionary party in Japan, and Yang Yongtai showed a posture of not helping each other, quit KMT, and gradually faded out of the various factions of the Tongmenghui. This is also the main reason why Fang Zida did not have any contact with him after taking over KMT party affairs. No.

However, Yang Yongtai was well-known for his talents. He was proficient in law, had considerable insights in finance, and was resourceful. He was a rare talent. After Song and Sun dynasty fell out, both parties made great efforts to win over Yang Yongtai, and even Yuan Shikai also

Yang Yongtai was invited to serve in the government several times, but he declined all of them, and he just lived in Beijing as a senator. Unexpectedly, Yang Du actually quietly pulled Yang Yongtai over. Fang Zida was ecstatic when he learned the news.

The next day, under the arrangement of Yang Du, Fang Zida met Yang Yongtai. Looking at this gentle and wise man in a suit, Fang Zida quickly stepped forward and reached out to shake hands.

"Mr. Changqing, I've heard of him for a long time."

"Haha, Mr. Zhang Ming, I have heard of your name for a long time." Yang Yongtai joked easily. Fang Zida was slightly stunned, and then he and Yang Du laughed at the same time.

After sitting down, Yang Yongtai looked at Fang Zida first, and then said with a smile: "Xizi and I are old friends. Originally, according to my temper, I didn't want to get involved in the current chaos, but I couldn't stand Xizi's insistence.

After much persuasion, I reluctantly agreed. I just said that I have heard of Mr. Zhang Ming for a long time.

This is half a joke and half a truth. Mr. Zhang Ming has made great efforts in the past few years since he followed his brother to the north. Many major national events were done by Mr. Zhang Ming. It is amazing! But today, I think

Let me first ask Mr. Zhang Ming, how do you think the Republic of China should develop?"

Yang Yongtai's words made Fang Zida difficult to answer for a while. The question he asked was really too big. How does the country develop? This is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences. After thinking about it for a while, Fang Zida said frankly:

“Although the Republic of China was founded not long ago, the entire constitutional structure

The system has gradually taken shape. Local governments have fallen apart since the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The situation of various warlords living outside the central government has also been improved due to the efforts of the central government. Coupled with the opportunities brought by the current European war, Qing*dao was recovered

, Outer Mongolia, domestic industry and commerce are developing rapidly, and finance is

Gradually improving, these are some good aspects. However, the distrust of the central government by various parties still exists, especially some overseas parties still like to use force to solve problems. This is not a good thing. There is a saying in the West.

,Politics is an art of compromise,

Since the country wants to take the road of constitutionalism, why can't it be handled according to the law of constitutionalism? What differences do you have? Sit down and discuss it, talk about it, even if it is a quarrel or even a fight. Mr. Chang Qing is a senator,

I think you often experience this kind of thing in Congress."

Speaking of this, Yang Yongtai and Yang Du laughed at the same time. Quarrels and fights between the various parties in Congress have become commonplace during meetings. Sometimes for an issue, the two sides who are in favor and against will even fight with each other when they quarrel. The meeting place is often filled with people.

Shoes and hats flying everywhere are not uncommon. Even Yang Yongtai was one of them during meetings. He was beaten and beaten by others.

"Mr. Changqing is familiar with the law and understands the path of Western constitutionalism. In fact, this kind of fighting is a common thing at the beginning of constitutionalism. Although it seems a bit childish, no one can deny it. It is this kind of childishness that is the foundation of constitutionalism and

The embodiment of democracy. Some people pick up bowls to eat meat and put down their chopsticks to curse. They curse the central government’s dictatorship with their eyes closed. But think about it on the other hand, if the central government was truly dictatorial, how could such a thing happen? Can it be tolerated?

Are you going to scold these people?"

Hearing this, Yang Yongtai nodded slowly. He is well versed in Chinese and Western knowledge and is proficient in politics. Of course he understands the reason behind Fang Zida's words. However, that is not what he is asking about. He is not here to discuss this matter with Fang Zida today.

I would like to hear Fang Zida’s views on governing the country.

"Haha, my words went off the rails for a moment. Please don't mind, Mr. Chang Qing." Fang Zida smiled and turned back to the topic: "How the Republic of China will take its future path cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Now,

The world is different

Thousands of years ago, it was possible to make a country rich and powerful just by secluding the country, cultivating one's health, paying taxes of thirty to one and so on. As the world structure changes, the methods of governing the country must also change accordingly, as I just said

Said that constitutional government belongs to the country

It is basically guaranteed that on this basis, we will gradually develop industry, commerce, agriculture, national defense, etc., and slowly change the face of the entire country. Mr. Chang Qing also knows that the central government has plans in these areas, and the implementation has been quite effective.

After the first phase of the plan is completed, the central government will consider the second phase of the plan. This will require a long-term effort, maybe five years, ten years, maybe ten years, or twenty years, but I believe that China's

Taking off is not far away!”

Then, Fang Zida explained to Yang Yongtai the central government's profound meaning on the construction of the National Defense Force, support for industry and commerce, and the separation of local military and civilian affairs, and focused on the monetary policy plan of the Ministry of Finance and so on.

Yang Yongtai asked Fang Zida some specific questions with great interest. Fang Zida answered them one by one without thinking, and also answered based on the situations extended from certain questions. Yang Yongtai nodded repeatedly and was very satisfied.

"Brother Zhangming, do you have a solution to the conflicts between the various political parties and the central government?" The two parties chatted for a long time, and after getting familiar with each other, they no longer addressed each other as sir, but directly addressed themselves as brothers.

"As I said before, politics must still be solved through political methods. Violent means do not solve all problems. Of course, on the premise of solving problems politically, other means are also auxiliary, but they are mainly political, and other means are also auxiliary.

Just for assistance." Fang Zida replied with a smile.

These words were greatly recognized by Yang Yongtai. Historically, it was Yang Yongtai who first proposed the view of "seven political points and three military parts" and was cited as a confidant by Chiang Kai-shek. But now, he actually found that Fang Zida's views on this issue were actually different from his.

By coincidence, Fang Zida's favorable impression suddenly became much stronger.

With this point of view, Yang Yongtai nodded repeatedly and spoke frankly about his thoughts and opinions. While listening, Fang Zida analyzed in his mind that Yang Yongtai was indeed well-deserved, with unique insights and long-term vision on these issues. The more the two sides chatted, the more speculative they became, and even

Yang Du who was standing aside was also forgotten. After a long time, Yang Du, who was a little impatient, deliberately coughed a few times.

"Chang Qing, I will discuss these matters with you later when I have time. I invite you all to meet today mainly for a major event."

"Haha, I almost forgot if Xizi didn't mention it." Yang Yongtai came back to his senses and smiled, with a condensed look on his face, he asked Fang Zida: "Xizi mentioned it to me a little bit about Liang Yansun, Zhang Ming

Brother, please tell me your plan first."

Fang Zida nodded and talked about the intelligence he had collected and his response preparations. After Yang Yongtai listened quietly, he did not speak immediately, but sat there and thought about it for a while.

"Xizi, what do you think?" After a while, Yang Yongtai asked Yang Du first.

Yang Du smiled: "I support Zhang Ming, the key is what do you think?"

"I already understand what Brother Zhang Ming is thinking, but for doing this, I'm afraid Brother Zhang Ming will be blamed in the future." Yang Yongtai sighed.

Fang Zida also sighed: "Of course I understand that once things get to that point, it is irreversible, and that's it for Liang Yansun. The key is Yuan Yuntai. Although it is righteous to kill relatives, Yuan Yuntai is not an ordinary person after all. Once the president learns about it, his condition worsens...

And that’s what I’m worried about.”

"If it's just to keep Yuan Yuntai, maybe it's possible." Yang Yongtai smiled slightly.

Fang Zida was stunned: "Brother Chang Qing, what's your clever plan?" To be honest, although Yuan Keding was bold and reckless, Fang Zida still wanted to let Yuan Keding go.

He died young, but Liang, if Yuan refuses to give up, the world will not be peaceful. In order to avoid making things worse, Fang Zida decided to

Determined to control the situation at the last moment and completely defeat Liang and Yuan to ensure political stability. But in this way, Fang Zida left the impression in Yuan Shikai's heart that he did not recognize his relatives. This was not a good thing for Fang Zida.

Moreover, Yuan Shikai has been ill for a long time and is in poor health. If something happens to him when he is angry, it will cause serious problems.

"If Brother Zhangming can trust me, leave this matter to me." Yang Yongtai said with a smile, confident.

"This..." Fang Zida actually had several plans and prepared several backup plans. He was not worried that Yang Yongtai didn't have the ability, but he was worried that if he didn't handle it well, it would be self-defeating, and Yang Yongtai would interfere with his plan.

, making the success fall short. It can be seen that Yang Yongtai looks calm and confident, coupled with Yang Du's praise and the feeling of being in contact with him today, Fang Zida feels that he may be able to do it.

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Zida decided to believe Yang Yongtai, glanced at Yang Du who was aside, and nodded happily in agreement with Yang Yongtai's request.

A few days later, people arranged by Fang Zida passed on the news one after another. According to the report, a hundred miles away from Baoding, the vanguard troops of the 1st Brigade of the 3rd Division had successively arrived in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and the Central Bank Guards were internally

There are also some changes. Wang Zhaoming has been uncharacteristically staying in the military camp these days.

After entering the city, they also summoned several mid-level officers. At the same time, in the middle of the capital, Liang Shiyi, Yuan Keding and some people were in frequent contact, and their whereabouts were sneaky. They were often locked in a room together and they didn't know what they were talking about in secret. After meeting, they gathered together.

Fang Zida knew very well that a big drama was about to begin.
