318 Longzhong pair
Zhao Fengchang talked about the people of the time. He was very talkative and showed the true nature of a famous comoral in the south of the Yangtze River. No wonder he could get the name of Zhuge in the world and could fool Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren.
Seeing that Wang Jingwei and Hu Hanmin also listened with relish, although Li Xiang was very disdainful and contemptuous of Zhao Fengchang, he still heard such a deep analysis of the current situation for the first time, and it was the opinions of the people of this era that made him even more interested. No matter whether Zhao Fengchang's judgment is right or wrong, Li Xiang doesn't care about it. There are always good but no harm in listening.
At this time, Sun Yat-sen asked, "What are the three concerns and three strategies?"
Zhao Fengchang smiled and said calmly, "The peace agreement has not been decided, and the north and the south will hold each other. For a long time, there will be economic panic, people's livelihood is difficult, and diplomacy will be in great danger. If the compensation is not paid when it is due, all countries should blame Beijing, and Beijing should not blame the South. The provinces are scattered but not the same. In case the great powers take the opportunity to occupy the territory as a hostage, are they in danger of partitioning? There is one thing to worry about."
For a time traveler like Li Xiang, of course, he knew that Zhao Fengchang's concern was purely unfounded. He couldn't help but sneer and said, "The great powers are busy preparing for the European war. Is there the energy to manage the revolution in the Far East? You think I'm really crazy. I also aimed at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to recover the concession. With imperialism's antipathy to the Chinese revolution, if they wanted to intervene by force, they would have intervened long ago. It's not that they don't want to, but that they are willing but not strong enough. Finally, Li wanted to see a room full of people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, learning from Jiang Guangtou's impassioned speech on an occasion after the Sdiwei incident and scolded, "It's all imperialists!" What's a good bird?"
Everyone looked at him in astonishment.
Sun Yat-sen said, "I didn't expect that you know the situation in Europe very well." Then he smiled and said, "Although the great powers have no time to look east, Japan and Russia are close at hand. From the tsar to the emperor, they all have the ambition to kill me. You can't worry about it! Sir, please continue.
Li Xiang was stunned and remembered the heinous awe of the foreign devils in this era. It was really because he had been repaired by the foreign devils since the Opium War. This kind of awe still remains a hundred years later, and it is still a trend to worship foreign countries. Li wants to mourn his misfortune and hate him indisputably.
Zhao Fengchang blew his beard with a disdainful face and stared at Li Xiang, who was uncultivated. He continued in a low voice and continued, "The situation in Beijing is already precarious. Since Yuan Jindu, people's hearts have gradually settled, and in diplomacy, military and politics, Yuan You has superior power. The ministers of various countries do not believe in the Qing government, but believe in Yuan's individual, which is no different from the emperor. The three eastern provinces are not only restrained by diplomacy, but also cannot declare independence. Shandong, Henan and Zhili belong to Yuan's old land. In the future, it will inevitably tend to Yuan's sphere of influence. In case Yuan suspends Beijing's business, foreign debt and diplomacy have been obtained. The foundation is slightly solid, and it gradually extends to the three provinces of Shandong, Henan and Zhili. If the army is at odds with each other, the victory or defeat of each other is undecided. Even if the south can resist, it will become a situation of separation between the north and the south. The territory of the whole country will shrink. If the south is full of people, what is the transplanted area? There are two people who can't worry about this."
Zhao Fengchang stopped here and drank tea slowly. Everyone hurriedly asked about his third concern.
Zhao Fengchang sighed, showing a sad and sad look, and said, "Although the southern provinces have declared independence, they have different powers and opinions, and have failed to tend to be the same trend. There are many newly recruited soldiers and untrained soldiers everywhere, and I'm afraid it's hard to fight. Within the military governments of the southern provinces, there has been a struggle for power and profit. If they fight with each other, they will soon collapse, and it is not easy to be united. If it can't be the same, the success or failure will be completed, and Yuan will become Napoleon's career. There are three people who can be worried about this."
Sun Yat-sen's eyes flashed a yearning look, because he had long regarded himself as the Eastern Napoleon or Washington who led the Chinese revolution, and he was also working towards this goal, and Zhao Fengchang in front of him was the dragon Zhuge Kongming.
Li Xiang knew that Zhao Fengchang was giving advice to Yuan Shikai. Sun Yat-sen was making wedding clothes for Yuan Shikai, but after knowing Zhao Fengchang's three worries, he became confused again.
Zhao Fengchang whispered, "In my opinion, today is the plan of the south. If you want to hold with the north, there are three extremely important strategies."
Sun Yat-sen coughed twice, covered his excitement, and said, "I'd like to ask you."
Zhao Fengchang said: "I. After the declaration of independence, it is appropriate to discuss and organize a provisional government to plan the overall situation. Where the provinces' military, government and finances communicate with each other, make sure to arrange the Yangtze River area closely, which can be defended and fought, in order to regulate the north.
Li Xiang is even more confused. Is Zhao Fengchang really helping Sun Yat-sen make suggestions?
Sun Yat-sen nodded and said, "As long as the Nanjing government is established and the president is elected immediately, everything will be solved. But please support the election of the president.
Zhao Fengchang nodded with a smile and said, "Second, the Beijing-Han Railway, which is the capital of the Northern Army, is very convenient to lose military service. There must be a strange soldier who goes straight to Kaifeng, enough to help the people of Henan to become independent, and with the help of Beijing, the revolutionary army has defeated Henan, cut off the Beijing-Han railway, and the northern army of Hankou surrendered without a fight.
Li Xiang suddenly came to his senses and quickly said, "I have sent an elite from Hanzhong into Guanzhong to support the Tongguan battlefield. As long as I defeat the Tongguan Beiyang Army, I will leave the customs immediately. I sent another army to peep into Luoyang from Xiangyang. The two armies cooperated with the Henan Alliance, which would definitely trap Duan Qirui and the Beiyang First Army in Xinyang.
Everyone looked at Li Xiang in surprise. They really couldn't figure out that he had such amazing strength. Unexpectedly, just after the end of the battle in Hubei, he had secretly sent troops into the Shaanxi battlefield and Buwu. As soon as the 100,000 Jiangsu and Zhejiang allied forces finished the battle to restore Nanjing, they were exhausted and did nothing. The fierce battle in the Hubei battlefield was more fierce than the Nanjing battle. Instead of being damaged, his strength was even more inflated. This madman Li is really terrible. No wonder he has such confidence. Roaring: Northern Expedition, Northern Expedition! Carry out the revolution to the end!
Sun Yat-sen also looked at him up and down as if he knew him for the first time. In his image, Li Xiang's strength is about the same as Hu Hanmin's strength in Guangdong, perhaps even worse. After all, the main battlefield of 1911 is in Hubei. After defeating the Beiyang Army, he must be scarred. If he really send troops to the Northern Expedition, he is also powerless. I can't believe it! If Li Xiang really has such strength, then he will have a lot of confidence when he takes office as president in Nanjing!
Maybe Li Xiang is too young, and everyone can't help but despise his youth at the first sight of him.
If Li Xiang really has such a strong strength, Zhao Fengchang should also reassess the strength of the south all day. Zhao Fengchang's brain rotated rapidly and was stunned. Only then did he know that he had lost his composure and coughed quickly. A group of equally stunned people woke up and smiled awkwardly at each other.
Zhao Fengchang sorted out his confused thoughts and said, "Third, Beijing's financial crisis has reached the extreme. The Southern Army has all the rich provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. If it encourages trade and manages taxes and rates, it not only has the convenience of transportation of the Yangtze River, but also accounts for the foreign trade of the ports of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong. The finance and weapons are all easy, which can be a lasting measure. Although there are many Northern Army, there is nothing they can do.
"Mr. Jinwei's insight, strategic strategy, three worries and three strategies, comparable to Kong Ming's Longzhong." Sun Yat-sen showed a big-eared chest and said, "Thank you for your advice."
After listening to this, Li wanted to comment on Jiangsu and Zhejiang finance and offered his means of financial management in Hankou. The footsteps sounded outside the door, and the beautiful maid outside the door reported: "The provincial federations in Nanjing appointed six representatives, including Ma Junwu from Guangxi, Jing Yaoyue in Shanxi, Wang Zhuhuai in Anhui, and Wang Youlan from Jiangxi. They made a special trip to Shanghai to welcome Sun Zhong. Mr. Shan. I heard that Mr. Sun Yat-sen came to Xiyin Hall, and they also came directly and were outside asking for a meeting.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that the representative from Nanjing was so eager that they couldn't wait for a moment to find Xiyintang.
Ma Junwu came in and said to Sun Yat-sen, "What does the delegation intend to make you the grand marshal of the interim government?"
Mr. Sun Yat-sen Wang Jingwei mentioned the "Grand Marshal" of the provisional government last night, but he still pretended to smile and said, "If you want to vote, just elect the president. You don't need to elect the grand marshal, because the marshal said that he is not the head of state in a foreign country."
Ma Junwu smiled bitterly in his heart and secretly glanced at Wang Jingwei, who was sitting upright, and said, "The outline of the organization of the provisional government agreed by the representative meeting stipulates the election of the interim president, but Tang Shaoyi, the representative of Yuan Shikai, said that if Yuan can be elected as the president in the south, Yuan can also agree to the republic. Therefore, the representative committee decided to keep this position for the time being.
Shanxi Jing Yaoyue also said jealously, "Just yesterday, Tang Shaoyi will call Yuan Shikai about the agreement to convene the National Assembly. On the same day, Yuan Shikai asked the Qing court to convene the patriarchal king's meeting according to Tang Dian to make a big plan. Yuan Zuo said: "Tang Shaoyi had nothing to do with it. She thought that she only had to open the National Assembly quickly, recruited representatives from all provinces, and put the issue of monarchy democracy into a referendum. His last two calls are briefly: 'The other party insists on republican, and if it does not recognize it, it will be called on strike. If there is a strike, there will be a break, and if there is a break, the overall situation will be ruined. Try to think about the resurreation of the scourge of war. How about the expenditure? How about ordnance? There is no chance of winning. In case of setback, if the enemy is under the city, how can the nobles be preserved? Can the lives and property of outsiders be protected? Unfortunately, it collapsed, and the whole country was reduced. Why did the top treat the king and father, and why did the lower treat the people? If you convene the parliament, adopt public opinion, and decide to still use the monarchy, it is not a blessing. The order is to decide on a republic, and the treatment of the royal family must be extremely excellent, and the happiness of China's future is still hopeful. Which one is better or the other is better. If it is delayed again, the scourge will be 'waiting'. It is also said: 'There are only three days left in the armistice. If we do not really allow the decree of the meeting and there is no hope of limiting the armistice, it is bound to break up. Only resign from the name of the representative on the same day to introduce himself to the crime and so on. Under the reading, I was worried, internal inspection of the people's situation, the general appearance, the real situation, there is no turning... The only thing I can do is to call for the prince of the clan, go to the meeting as soon as possible, and ask for an order to decide, so as to make a big plan. Due to the collusion between Yuan and Tang and the intimidation of the Qing court, the Qing court has been forced to approve the convening of the National Assembly. Yuan Shikai immediately returned to Tang Shaoyi. Today, he is effectively discussing the election method with Wu Tingfang for the fifth peace talks.
"That doesn't matter. As long as Yuan Zhen can support the republic, I will give it to him." Sun Yat-sen was generous and didn't miss the president very much. "But - the president is the president, temporary words, you don't want it."
Sun Yat-sen opposed the word "temporary" before the president because when he negotiated loans from Western countries before returning home, they all said that they could only be considered when China officially established a republican government.
"Since you want to push Yuan Shikai to the throne of temporary president, why do you still come to Mr. Sun? Take people's pastime?" Li wanted to say rudely that he was not as talkative as Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing.
The representatives looked embarrassed and looked at Li Xiang and didn't know how to answer.
Although the Qing court, after discussion at the imperial meeting, issued an edict this morning to agree to the agreement between the two representatives at the Shanghai Conference on convening the National Assembly. However, the agreement reached at the Shanghai Conference has aroused doubts and disgust among the authorities of the provinces that have declared a republic and the representatives of the provincial governors gathered in Nanjing. This is because: First, although Yuan Shikai repeatedly asked for a truce, he took the opportunity to send troops to invade Shanxi and Shaanxi, which makes people think that he is implementing the strategy of "South and North War" to buy time under the curtain of peace and strengthen his position in the north in order to further use force against the South. If the representative is to hold a new meeting, it will give him more time. Second, Yuan Shikai publicly advocated the maintenance of the Qing royal family and the implementation of the constitutional monarchy, which made those who wanted Yuan Shikai to be the president of the Republic of China doubt whether he was determined to do so. Third, if a new meeting is to be held to decide on the issue of monarchy or democracy, it will deny the status of provincial congresses already held in Nanjing.
Before Sun Yat-sen returned to China, the provincial governors and provincial congresses had already considered the establishment of a temporary central government. However, they can't find a recognized leader with prestige, and they are waiting for Yuan Shikai to serve as president. Therefore, they only elected Li Yuanhong and Huang Xing as grand marshalshals and deputy marshals, and temporarily acting for the interim president, and neither of them took office. It was only because of Yuan Shikai's delay in making a final decision that they felt the need to quickly establish the central government. The situation that the republican provinces have been declared to be independent cannot be maintained for a long time, which is certainly a reason why they want to establish a central government, but this is not the main reason. There are two main reasons: First, they believe that only when the central government is established can it be "recognized" by foreign countries. At that time, all the people who participated in the revolution, including the real revolutionaries, not to mention the speculators, regarded the "recognition" of the imperialist powers as the first thing. Second, they used the establishment of the central government to demonstrate to Yuan Shikai, but it was not to break with Yuan Shikai, but to force him to make up his mind to abandon the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, they are only willing to call the new government the "provisional government", and Sun Yat-sen can only be an excessive interim president. Although Sun Yat-sen opposed the use of "temporary" and Li Xiang opposed pushing "Yuan", their ideas were not accepted.
Ma Junwu smiled awkwardly and said, "Everyone knows that Yuan Shikai can use Yuan's power to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish the Republic of China, and determine Yuan Ru's policy of becoming the president anyway. There are many factors. The establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government was originally planned for this purpose to cancel the word 'temporary'. This also requires the problem of modifying the organizational outline, which involves a wide range of situations. Only when returning to Nanjing can we discuss with the representatives..."
"Next door to Mahler! Let's talk about it!" Li wanted to line up the table and scolded. You are blind. You can't see that Yuan Shikai is a traitor who can't be trusted. He is really the stalk of the Republic. Today's push 'Yuan', China will suffer the doomsday disaster tomorrow!"
