The southern section of Tong Linge Road in Beijing used to be called the Congress Line, why is it here on Congress Street? Originally, in the early years of the Republic of China, this was the congress controlled by the Beiyang warlords, and it was the place where they met and worked. Today, the Congressional Auditorium remains. It is located behind the Xinhua News Agency building, which the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics has declared as a conservation unit.

In 1922, after the first Zhifeng War, after the direct warlords defeated the Fengzhi warlords, the leader of the direct warlords, Cao Kun, expelled the then president Li Yuanhong, and the following year he bribed the members of the National Assembly with heavy money and became president. Soon, two types of commemorative coins were minted. One is the "Commemoration of the Founding of the Constitution" gold and silver coins with a statue of Cao Kun, and the other is the commemorative gold and silver coins of Cao Kunrong. Both coins bear a certain sting of shamelessness and lust.
This bribery is a big joke. The whole process showed extreme stupidity and stupidity, originally the warlords were just chestless, dedicated to promoting officials and getting rich, not to joke, but strange. Li Yuanhong, who was supported by the warlords of his immediate lineage and became president, had already completed his term of office, and it was justified at that time that he would handle the general election after he retired from his post. But that Cao San (Cao Kun Xingsan) was not in a hurry, and could not hold back the desire in his heart. Since the defeat of Feng Jun (Zhang Zuolin), he has effectively become the "President of Taishang".

The soldiers in the north and along the Yangtze River, with the exception of a few, belonged to his subordinates, and as long as he said a word, even Li Yuanhong's government did not dare not do it. Cao Sanben was full of ambition, but he always felt that he was not addicted, not so "refreshing". He thought: He could have become a big president, but he couldn't come to power yet, and he couldn't fight for his ancestors. He thought so, and his confidants touted him all the time, made him more and more fluttery. The purpose of those henchmen is also very clear, Cao San became president, they should quickly be "sealed", after coming to power, loot some property, and live a happy life in the second half of their lives. In this way, they coaxed Cao San to start as soon as possible and take office as soon as possible.
At that time, some of Cao San's henchmen tried their best to force Li to abdicate on his own, first asking Li's cabinet premier Zhang Shaozeng to resign and dismantle Li's platform; they also instigated the military and police in Beijing to strike down their posts and demanded more money; they also bribed some local gangsters and organized so-called "citizen groups" to surround the government and ask Li to abdicate for several days. The last resort was to cut off the water and electricity, and the poor President Le Da was forced to flee.
As soon as Li Shi left, Cao San's henchmen still put the Congress in their eyes. Claim: "Congress turned out to be a pig nest, and the parliamentarians were a bunch of pigs." With force, there is no fear of pigs without buyers." So the general election was launched. A group of piglet parliamentarians in Beijing only know how to ask for money, regardless of anything else. Some said, "As long as I have money, I will choose whoever I want." "Initially, each vote was $500, but the MPs didn't agree, plus $3,000. At this time, Cao San bought a female drama in Baoding and spent 30,000 yuan. The parliamentarians shouted, "We can't even compare to a female dramatist." Teacher (referring to Cao Kun) has money to buy dramas, why doesn't he have money to run elections? We as parliamentarians also paid for it. "Proposed, 30,000 yuan a vote." While bargaining, Lu Yongxiang, the military governor of Zhejiang in the south and a warlord of the Anhui clan, opposed his immediate family, and the deputies of the movement went south to Shanghai for a meeting. At this time, there were more parliamentarians in Shanghai than in Beijing. Later, Cao Kun's confidants did not know where to raise a large amount of cash, and said that they would be 5,000 yuan per vote. The parliamentarians who went south, because they did not get benefits in the south, heard that Beijing had 5,000 yuan to get, and they returned to Beijing one after another. With 590 votes, Cao Kun was elected president. This was followed by a "Constitution".
Since then, people have called this congress the "Piglet Congress". Those councillors were called "piglet parliamentarians". These people are the scum of the nation. Their actions have brought shame to the nation. Alas! wretched! hateful!
Cao San, the president who bribed the election, only stayed for one year. The following year, in the Second War of Zhifeng, the warlord government was overthrown by Feng Yuxiang and other nationalist troops, imprisoned Cao Kun at Yanqinglou in Zhongnanhai, and forced him to go down.
The above two coins were released shortly after this bribery election. On both coins, the five-color flag and the army flag and the navy flag are used.
It turned out that the Qing government never had a national flag. Later, it was decided to use the Yellow Dragon Flag as the national flag. It started as a triangle, not a class, and later changed to a rectangle. During the Xinhai Revolution, the revolutionary army used the "Iron-Blooded Eighteen Stars" flag representing the eighteen provinces at that time. Later, it was changed to a five-color banner representing the republic of the Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Hui and Tibetan nationalities. This five-color flag was approved by the Provisional Senate of Nanjing in 1912 as the official flag of the Republic of China. The Blue Sky and White Sun Flag, which had been used during the League, was changed to the Naval Flag, and the Eighteen Star Flag was stipulated as the Army Flag. The pentacolor was used from 1911 until 1927.
