Chapter 253 Impotence

A strong central regime is certainly conducive to China's independence, but can the central regime led by Zhou Charter really win the support of the whole country as Zhang Peilun said?

The people of the New Party still believe in the legitimacy of imperial rule, and they will not tolerate a usurper! The revolutionaries follow democracy and republic. They believe in the Western-style presidential parliamentary system and advocate universal presidential elections. They will not support the new regime established by the Zhou Charter by force. In their view, this regime is still, to a large extent, a product of the idea of imperial power. And the scholars under the world have brainwashed the Confucian classics. Loyalty and patriotism are their mindset. Can they tolerate a rebel?

In all dynasties, no dynasty dares to offend the world's scholars!

The door opened, and Jin Shu came in gently.

"Shua, what can I do for you?" Zhou Charter asked.

Jin Shu first bowed to Zhang Peilun, and Jin Shu stopped talking.

"Suer, please say that Mr. Zhang and we are friends in adversity!" Zhou Charter said.

Jin Shu nodded: "Tang Qunying is here, and Sister Qiaoer is accompanying her in the study."

"Oh, she should be here on behalf of Qiu Jin." Zhou Charter said, "It seems that Sun Wen did not die after leaving Guangzhou. He hopes that Zhang Jun will help him establish a republic."

Tang Qunying, Qiu Jin and Ge Yunhao are also known as the three female heroes of Xiaoxiang, all of whom are hardcore fans of Sun Wen.

Jin Shu shook her head: "No, she is a representative of Tang Jingsong!"

"Tang Jingseng? What does he want to do?" Zhou Charter was a little surprised.

Although Tang Qunying is a revolutionary, she is Tang Jingseng's niece and Tang Caichang's cousin. It is not surprising that Tang Qunying came on behalf of Tang Jingseng. It is strange that Tang Jingsang suddenly came to insert a bar.

After the outbreak of the Bwei War, Tang Jingsong, the former governor of Taiwan and the former president of Taiwan's democratic country, fled Taiwan and lived in seclusion in Shanghai. He never asked about political affairs and seemed to be frustrated. However, at this time, he suddenly sent Tang Qunying here. Could it be that he also wanted to insert a stick?

"Tang Qunying brought his letter." Jin Shu said and handed the letter to Zhou Charter.

Jin Shu turned to Zhang Peilun: "Mr. Zhang, take your time. I'll take care of it outside."

"Mrs. Jin, please." Zhang Peilun arched his hand.

Jin Shu withdrew from the tea room. Zhou Charter opened Tang Jingsong's letter, read it, and then handed it to Zhang Peilun.

Zhang Peilun did not answer, but smiled and said, "Let me guess what Tang Jingsong wants to say."

Zhou Charter laughed and said, "Mr. Zhang, please speak."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Tang Jingseng advises you to establish an independent country in Taiwan and stay out of the chaos of the Qing Dynasty!" Zhang Peiron said, "Tang Jingrong's reasons are actually very simple. Zhang Jun owns Taiwan, North Korea and Ryukyu, and now has a Saigon base in Vietnam. It is rich in resources, a large population, economic prosperity and rich people. Zhang Jun is enough to guard the key roads of the sea, which is enough to establish an independent state. The Qing Dynasty is a mess, which is difficult to clean up. Mr. Zhou leads the army into the mainland, and it may cause trouble. It's better to guard the precious land of Taiwan and be self-sufficient. Regardless of the success or failure of the Qing Dynasty, it has nothing to do with you!"

"Mr. Zhang is really wise and what he said is not bad at all. That's what Tang Jingseng meant. Zhou Charter laughed and said, "This Tang Jingseng is also a kindness."

"Moreover, he persuaded you to do this, which also relieved you." Zhang Peilun said, "These days, I must be the only one who persuaded Mr. Zhou to send troops to Qingdao. There must be a lot of people from the Weixin Party, the revolutionaries, and the local governors of the Qing Dynasty. These people all want you to cross the sea with troops, but their purposes are completely different. They fight with each other indis and out of the dark. It's really difficult for you to be among these people. Stay in Taiwan and turn a deaf ear to what's going on outside the window. No matter how they fight, it's a good way to be self-sufficient and happy.

Zhou Charter sighed, "That's true."

"Moreover, what's more troublesome is that your generals also have their own opinions. They just stay in Taiwan honestly. Once they return to the mainland, I'm afraid they will have to make their own small calculations. Well, the braided general Zhang Xun definitely wants to protect the emperor. Cai Ting, who is the fake foreigner, will follow Sun Wen. As for Luo Mingfang, although there is no clear proposition, they don't want to muddy the water in Taiwan for the mainland. What's more, your mentor Na Jin and your good brother Na Ha Wu are all flag men. How can you explain to them that you overthrew the Qing court? Zhang Peilun said, "In the front council hall, your generals have already started! In this way, it's better to stay in Taiwan and North Korea.

"Mr. Zhang, you have made all the details of my Zhangjun clear!" Zhou Charter sighed, "To tell you the truth, the biggest problem is that I hesitate. The construction of the two places in Taiwan and the dynasties has just improved. If it continues like this, it will inevitably be prosperous and strong within ten years. At this time, in the dispute that entered the mainland, I'm afraid that it can't save the country, but it will put Taiwan and the two places in. The brothers' thoughts are not unified, and I, the governor, can't make a decision. Tang Jingseng's suggestion is also feasible. I think it would be safer if we postpone it for another ten years and wait for the strength of Taiwan and North Korea to strengthen and then act again.

Zhang Peilun laughed and said, "To tell you the truth, Tang Jingrong's suggestion is to mislead the country and the people, Taiwan and the army, and also to mislead you, Governor Zhou!"

Zhou Charter asked, "How do you say this?"

"Mr. Zhou, you have studied national history with your master Jin. Excuse me, since ancient times, how can there be no state affairs that have collapsed inside, and the general has been ordered outside!" Zhang Peilun said in a low voice.

Zhou Charter was shocked. Zhang Peilun's words are another statement that "there is no complete egg under the nest"! The two places of the Taiwan Dynasty are inseparable from China. The so-called independence and founding of the country is just wishful thinking. If China collapses, how can the two places of the Taiwan Dynasty be independent!

Zhang Peiron continued: "Governor Zhou, how are the two places in Taiwan and the south of the Yangtze River?"

"No matter it is resources, area or population, it is far worse."

"The Song Dynasty was peaceful in the south of the Yangtze River, and after all, it was difficult to escape the destruction. Governor of Zhou, with the two places of the Taiwan Dynasty, I'm afraid it's not even as good as the Song Dynasty!" Zhang Peilun shouted, "In a corner of the Southern Song Dynasty, there is still the merit of Huaxia Zhengshuo. Mr. Zhou is biased towards the Taiwan Dynasty. What is the merit?"

Zhang Pei said a sentence, which made Zhou Charter sweat coldly!

With the separation of the two places and the separation of China, Zhou Charter is not only in vain, but also a sinner through the ages!

Zhou Charter got up and bowed deeply to Zhang Peilun: "Mr. Zhang's teaching, enlightening!"

"Mr. Zhou, the merits and demerits are only in one thought!" Zhang Peilun said in a low voice.

Zhou Charter nodded: "Mr. Zhang, please sit down for a moment and go to the council chamber to express his feelings to the public. The Zhang army of the two places in Taiwan immediately sent troops to Jiaozhou Bay to recapture Qingdao!"

Zhang Peilun got up: "I wish Mr. Zhou success!"

Zhang Peilun understands that Zhou Charter's so-called "taking back Qingdao" is actually a war against the Qing Dynasty. Because once Zhang Jun sets foot on the mainland, in the eyes of the imperial court, he is a rebel! It must be incompatible with the court! At that time, we can only fight this battle to the end!

Zhou Charter paid homage to Zhang Peilun and went out of the study. Jin Shu sat under the begonia tree, hurriedly got up and greeted him: "Charter, have you decided?"

"It's decided!" Zhou Charter nodded.

"That's good." Jin Shu sighed gently.

"Shua, you didn't ask me what decision I made. Why did you say it?"

Jin Shu smiled faintly: "No matter what decision you make, I support you. I'm afraid that you won't make a decision and hesitate. That's the taboo of soldiers!"

Zhou Charter was moved. He knew that Jin Shu was tired of war, but as long as Zhou Charter chose war, she would still stand behind him without hesitation!

"Shu'er, I decided to send troops to Jiaozhou Bay immediately." Zhou Charter said.

"What you decide, just do it." Jin Shu nodded: "It's just that I'm worried?"

"What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried about the old master, and he will be difficult to accept!"

Zhou Charter was in a panic. Then he remembered that he talked so much with Zhang Peilun and thought of all kinds of disadvantages, but forgot his mentor Jin!

Jin is a flag man and a descendant of Nurhachi! He is even closely united with the Empress Dowager Cixi, his family and his country, which is inseparable! Loyalty and patriotism is his lifelong belief! Zhou Charter went to war with the imperial court and finally overthrew the Qing regime, which he could not accept! Because to overthrow the Qing Dynasty is to destroy the Jin family!

Na Jin has reached the end of his life, and Zhou Charter brazenly went to war with the imperial court, which will destroy his last spiritual pillar!

My proud disciple destroyed the court that I was loyal to, which was enough to make Jin's heart ashes!

"Shua, what should I do?" Zhou Charter was so desperate that he couldn't persuade his teacher to willingly agree to raise the flag to rebel, and he couldn't say it! It is really against human kindness to persuade his teacher to go to war with his own people!

Jin Shu said softly, "Charter, or I'll go with you to see him."

Among Zhou Charter's four wives, Jin likes Jin Shu the most. In his mind, Jin Shu is his daughter-in-law. Only Jin Shu is in charge of his family, and the other three are indiscriminate. The old man Jin is very stubborn. Most of the time, if he is uncomfortable and in a bad mood, Zhou Charter will come to persuade him in person, but he won't buy it, but as long as Jin Shu goes to say a few words, the old man will turn angry and happy.

Zhou Charter held Jin Shu's hand: "Shu'er, this matter is all up to you! Thank you for your husband first."

"Thank you for what! I'm your wife, and it's also my business. Jin Shu sighed, "It's just that this matter is really difficult for people to force people. I'm afraid that it's hard for me to tell him. Let's just take one step at a time.
