On December 28, 1911, the North-South Conference and Negotiations began, which was the independence of 17 southern provinces, only henan, Gansu, Shanxi, Shandong five provinces outside the control of Yuan Shikai, the next day, in Nanjing gathered representatives of 17 provinces, about to be held here, the first presidential election, there were three people participating in the election at that time, today let us see together, who are the first people to participate in the presidential election?
At that time, the voters had representatives of 17 provinces, and Mr. Zhongshan received 16 votes, which had a lot to do with his influence at that time, and we all knew that the Xinhai Revolution was led by Mr. Zhongshan, and as a leading figure in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, it must have been recognized by everyone, and it was impossible and impossible for so many people to follow him.
Moreover, in the process of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, it was also full of difficulties, twists and turns, failure can be said to be commonplace, and it can be said that it was not easy to exile other countries many times, and sometimes they almost died. But Mr. Nakayama still did not give up until the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. This spirit of never giving up and not reaching the goal is very worthy of learning from young people now, without this kind of tenacity, Mr. Zhongshan would not have, and later such achievements not only overthrew the Qing Dynasty, but also established the Republic of China, leaving an indelible merit in modern history. Therefore, after the overthrow of the imperial system, he was elected as the provisional president of the Republic of China with 16 votes.
The second person who participated in the election was Huang Xing, as a hero of the Xinhai Revolution, Huang Xing belonged to a figure who deserved to be unyielding, so in the Xinhai Revolution period, Huang Xing was the main military leader, but many uprisings he led ended in failure, but he was more and more frustrated and courageous, and he was also a kind of person who did not reach the goal and swore to give up, it is precisely because of various spirits that he can overthrow the Qing court and establish the Republic of China, although in the first election for president, he only got one vote, but he can become the first presidential candidate, it can be seen, At that time, the influence and prestige were not low. As for who voted for him? It's still a mystery.
The third person to participate in the election is Li Yuanhong, he is different from two or more, he belongs to the monk who is a half-way monk, after the success of the Wuchang Uprising, he was forcibly elected as the governor by the revolutionaries, so in the first election of the president, he only got a zero vote, in fact, this is not surprising, as a monk who is halfway out of the family, can he participate in the election? It's already a great honor.
Although Li Yuanhong did not become president this time, later, when Yuan Shikai became president, he served as vice president, and after Yuan Shikai's death, Li Yuanhong served as president, anyway, before and after, Li Yuanhongxian served as the president twice, and served as vice president three times, becoming the first person in the Republic of China.
All three of the above are, first-time participants in the Grand Presidential Election.
