The palace lamp hanging on Li Xiang's head shook slightly, and the shadow falling under his feet was changeable. The shadow cast by the big brim hat covered his face, and no one could see the righteousness of his rare face. Li wanted to feel good about himself. The picture was quiet. Everyone was waiting for him to speak, and the eyes of the whole audience gathered on him.
Li Xiang glanced at the crowd and said in a slow tone, "Today, I would like to invite you to come to Liu Yuan for the banquet. It is a very important thing to announce to you. It is related to your vital interests, as well as the peace of Hankou and even Hubei in the future.
Hearing the word "peace" popped out of Li Xiang's mouth, the guests were worried. Li Xiang fought from Wuchang to Hankou, and now he is still preparing to fight with Beiyang. It is said on the streets of Wuhan that he is a peerless fierce general and a generation of killers. How can he become a messenger of peace?
Li Xiang also seemed to understand the hearts of the guests, but continued to say, "But for peace, there must be strong force as the backing. Mr. Sun Yat-sen said that if you want to enjoy the happiness of civilization, you must go through the pain of civilization. For the people of Hankou, for the people of the two lakes, and for the people of all China to enjoy the happiness of civilization, we must carry out the revolution to the end.
With applause underground, the guests finally understood in their hearts that Li Xiang was determined to stay in Hankou and resist the Beiyang Army to the end. How many people here applaud sincerely support it? How many are fake caters?
The Xinhua News Agency reporter in the corner is devoutly recording every speech of Li Xiang. Tomorrow's People's Daily's extra large number is Li Xiang and Liu Yuan's speech at the evening banquet. There is another person who is writing like a Xinhua News Agency reporter, that is, Feng Xiaoyu, who is hiding behind Tie Gongqi's fat body. His shorthand speed is not slower than that of reporters.
"Mr. Sun Yat-sen is the pioneer of the Chinese revolution and the mentor who has been guiding the Chinese revolution. Mr. Sun Yat-sen's three democracies (righteousness) are also the political program of the World Association. I would like to share my understanding of the Three Democracies (righteousness) with you, so that you can have a more comprehensive understanding of the revolutionary military government led by the World Council. I believe that nationalism should not only overthrow the corrupt rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also expel the aggression of the great powers, maintain China's territorial integrity, and safeguard the power that every Chinese deserves.
The next round of applause and again, the slogan of "expelling the great powers" was heard by the young people's blood boiling, but the old man flashed a trace of worry in his heart. Even if the alliance will dare not call for the expulsion of the great powers, General Li is really bold. Now all revolutionary parties in China are seeking the recognition and support of the Eastern and Western powers and trying to have a good relationship with the Eastern and Western powers. Many people feel that Marshal Li seems to have gone too hard. Now the number of Hankou imperialist warships is still increasing. Isn't it adding fuel to the fire when he releases the expulsion of the great powers? In fact, as long as the newly established military government does not buy the country, the people will already understand it very well.
But Li Xiang not only wants the understanding of the people, but also wants to use this tough slogan to burn the blood of the whole Chinese nation. Imperialism is rampant in China. The Chinese people have had enough of such humiliation. What they lack is a tough leader. Li Xiang believes that to bring down imperialism, there is no slogan that no organization in China dares to shout today. Once published in the People's Daily, it will definitely become a buzzword in China. Li Xiang's world will become the most desirable place for Chinese hot-blooded youth. Maybe, Li Xiang will become a political star.
Li wanted to turn a blind eye to the small scratching of the old men below, but deliberately suddenly raised the tone by two decibels, and the guests immediately became silent. Civil rights! Our world will aspire to build a democratic and republican country. The political power of the whole country is divided into political power and governance. The government has five major governance powers of legislation, justice, administration, examination and supervision to govern the country. The people have elections, recalls, creation, and re-determination of the four major regimes to manage the government. The people's power exercises its power through the people's congress, and the deputies to the people's congresses set up standing committees to exercise daily affairs. To set up the Hubei People's Congress, we need the full support of all parents.
There was a cold snor in the hearts of the guests below, such as election, recall, creation, reconvective, management of the government, and standing committee of the National People's Congress. They don't believe that the people can manage the government. It is difficult to reverse the idea of the supremacy of monarchy for thousands of years. It's still the case that the gun comes out of power. We will do whatever you, Marshal Li, say. As long as they saw that Li wanted to stop talking, they immediately applauded.
Li Xiang's eyes glanced at their faces, and he could guess seven or eight points at their thoughts. He sighed secretly, really playing the piano with this group of old people. Why didn't Master Lu Xun be born early? It's really a big problem to transform the Chinese people's minds. Let's just have a cultural revolution. This is not to hurt China's already weak vitality. What's more, Li Xiang is not capable of influencing China now.
Li wants to eliminate distracting thoughts, or continue to explain the New Three Democracy (righteousness). People's livelihoodism, the gentry here do not need to be disgusted and panicked. The revolutionary military government recognizes that private property is legal and should be protected by the government.
Li wants to spare no effort to explain the three democracies (righteousness), which is to build Mr. Sun Yat-sen into the Marx of the East. It is not only to determine the faith for China, but also to determine the faith for the whole eastern yellow world. This is a red ambition hidden in Li Xiang's heart.
When the guests heard that Li Xiangcheng guaranteed the safety of their property, a big stone in their heart completely fell. Listening to him for a long time, I finally gained a little.
Li Xiang said for a long time. He just felt a little dry. Tang Yue immediately handed over the tea. Li Xiang warmly took the tea with a smile and moistened his throat and continued to talk. The three democracies (righteousness) are divided into different priorities at different times. The current revolutionary task is nationalism, and the most specific task is to defend Hankou and resist the Beiyang army to go south. War is the natural duty of our soldiers. You don't need to worry about it. I am confident that I will refuse the door of Beiyang and Hankou. It's just that the affairs of Hankou are complicated, and the revolutionary military government is not well-staffed, so it specially recruits talents from the society and opens the national examination. I hope that academic elites will participate actively.
The scholar, who was disheartened because of the abolition of the imperial examination in the Manchu and Qing Dynasty, became warm again. There was a green light in front of everyone's eyes, and Li wanted to open the door of power to them. However, after Li Xiang's exam syllabus is posted, I don't know how many people's eyes will be broken.
There are many circles around, mostly discussing how to get an official position in the new government. What have people in the upper way done? Li Ziyun took the lead in saying, "As soon as the revolutionary military government was established, it abolished all kinds of harsh taxes in the Qing Dynasty, which is the gospel of our business community, but it also makes the new government face financial difficulties. Now the revolutionary army is being threatened by the Beiyang army going south. I, a businessman, can't go to the battle to kill the enemy and help the revolutionary army retreat from the enemy. However, I have been in business for many years and still have a little savings. I am willing to donate 100,000 yuan to alleviate the financial difficulties of the new government.
Li Ziyun started, and everyone also gave up one after another. Li Shang was very happy, and everyone was really in the right way. Everyone donated a very auspicious number. Li wanted to be crazy when he saw it, 180,000 yuan! No one has donated as much as Li Ziyun alone.
Li Xiang silently swept through the old people. Everyone here has no millions or tens of millions of family property. This is really a beghuazi. They can't see how many benefits will they give them after the success of the revolution? They just think that Manqing will call back to Hankou, tax them heavily, and exploit their blood and sweat year after year? They are willing to be bullied and excluded by foreigners all the time. They can't stand up in Hankou, but they can't even get into the foreign business racecourse. Foreign trade will always be exploited by the capital of foreigners? They pay benefits and various taxes to the officials of the Qing Dynasty and the foreign lords of the concession every year, ten times or a hundred times of 180,000 yuan? Lixiang has been unable to delve into it.
Li wanted to take a deep breath and suppress his anger that was about to explode. Li Sangming saw that they had been moved by the revolution. After he drove away Sisi Xiuwu, he could clearly feel that everyone was sincerely happy with the applause. They also hate foreigners and hate this corrupt and incompetent Manchu government. The Hankou business community can raise three million to build a Hankou Chamber of Commerce Building. Why can't it gather three million to support his revolutionary military government? Three million is really a small amount. The tax of Hankou Customs has already exceeded the 100 million mark, and the Chinese business community in Hankou is fully capable of donating 10 million.
Looking at the very auspicious figures counted by Feng Xiaoyu in front of him, the amount of 180,000 yuan, Li Xiang had the impulse to kill and bleed. With so many benefits, it also showed the military power of revolutionary soldiers, and let them see the accidental killing method of the army. Most people are still ignorant of current affairs. What makes them so stubborn? Is it because of the temperament of the iron rooster? Or are you bold enough to think that you dare not use accidental assassination methods against them? Don't you believe that your benefits can be realized?
Li Xiang's face was hidden in the shadow of the big brim hat, which was even more gloomy and terrible. The autumn wind stringed into the Ming Hall, and everyone only felt that it was extremely cold, but they all gritted their teeth. Although 180,000 yuan is a little less, it also gives you enough face to Marshal Li. You know, the Wuchang Revolutionary Military Government didn't get a penny. They didn't give the face of Tang Hualong and Li Yuanhong.
Li wants to try to put yourself in other's shoes. Everyone here is shrewd. They can also think of what Li Xiang can think of. In this way, it is speculated that they are not not not supporting the revolution, but not optimistic about the revolutionary army of Li Xiang. They only saw Li Xiang's 15,000 weak troops, and half of them were new recruits. Even if you withstand the attack of the Beiyang Army, when the party members across the country respond, the momentum of the Qing Dynasty has gone, and the weak troops of Li Xiang's two associations have been disabled by Beiyang. In troubled times, guns came out of power, and Li Xiang's revolutionary army was disabled. Why did he sit in such a anointed place in Hankou?
Li wanted to exhale a long sigh, "Your father's heart, Li has accepted it. It's just that something happened to Li's army, and he can't accompany him in person. Tie Gongqi, Feng Xiaoyu, you will treat you on my behalf. Please continue to enjoy the wonderful performance of the four great days.
Li Xiang shook his sleeves and left the table with his subordinate soldiers, leaving Tie Gongqi and Feng Xiaoyu to continue to socialize here. When Li wanted to leave, the gloomy face, and the guests peeked and sweated coldly. Although they gritted their teeth and carried it over, the accidental assassination method of Zhongtong was too horrible. They were not afraid that it was fake. At least Li wanted to accept 180,000 yuan in the end, and his heart was a little more stable. If Li wants to stand still with a gloomy face for a while and doesn't accept this account, a few timid people will not be able to bear the heavy bleeding.
