ideal era

112 capsised

Zeng Gao just focused on the unpredictable wind and rain in the dark, and a struggling look flashed on his face. It took a while before he sighed: "Today, there are thirteen independent provinces in the south, and several provinces are true revolutions. They are all people who have their own ghosts and have their own ambitions... Alas! Maybe even Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren themselves don't know who can be trusted and who can't be trusted. Oh my God! How did this revolution become so complicated?

At this moment, Zeng Gao couldn't help but be entangled and asked the sky speechlessly.

Li wants to change his mind. Even if he believes in Brother Chun, he can't get eternal life. Why do you have to ask God? Heaven and earth are not benevolent. The fate of history was to push Yuan Shikai to the road, and Li Xiang had no choice but to say everything.

Li Xiang said in a low voice, "If Yuan Shikai is willing anyway, why don't we let him take a step?"

Zeng Gao's eyes became sharp. For example, Xiao Li Feidao nailed Li Xiang's body in an instant and said slowly, "A feudal old bureaucrat like Yuan Shikai exposed his ambition early. Can we fill his greed?"

Zeng Gao seems to have seen Yuan Shikai's ambition for a long time. As long as he is a little sober, he can see that some people are lucky and have illusions because of fear. Of course, Yuan Shikai's greed is not enough. After he became president, he still wanted to be emperor.

Li Xiang sneered helplessly and said, "You can see it. I'm just afraid. Some people can see it and still have illusions about him. If someone really steals the fruits of the revolution, it is China's scourge, and chaos will happen. Should we save our strength to deal with the chaos in the future?

Zeng Gao frowned slightly. Seeing that Li Xiang had the idea of retreating again, he hurriedly said solemnly, "Marshal, your foresight is indeed what I admire. The situation in the future is probably as you said. However, in the current situation, we are not allowed to retreat. We have to participate in the battle of Xiaogan. It should be noted that there is no courage to compete with the Beiyang Army now. What courage will you have to compete with the Beiyang Army in the future? The momentum of our revolutionary army was easily condensed and could not be dispersed. Do you remember what you said about the sword spirit? Even if we face the world's first sword, knowing that it is a failure, we should have the courage to show our sword. Even if it is defeated, it is glorious to be defeated. If you don't fight, you don't deserve to be a swordsman.

Zeng Gao paused, his eyes flashed coldly, and he didn't finish his intention. A little calmed down the excitement, turned to staring at the lingering wind and rain in the dark outside the window, and said slowly, "In the face of the country's adversity, the revolution will have the spirit of tens of millions of people. And for the sake of the country, who doesn't know that Hankou is called back by us, and the young people are just proud for a while. Marshal, where is your confidence? Where is your confidence in trying to save the end of the world and save China?

Li wanted to think of the grand wish he made after traveling here. The ambition he made was like reading a fictional novel again, but soon his ideals had been worn out by reality. His heart was bored, and his chest seemed to be heavily crushed by a big stone. I took a long breath and felt a little more comfortable. Unexpectedly, his subordinates regarded him as the savior and gave him expectations. Li wants to have no way out now. He is expected to be expected. A little revolutionary ideal of his bones will also break out. Looking out of the wind and rain window, the darkness will always be replaced by light. One bite, it's dry! We have to stir up a greater ups and downs in the 1911 Revolution!

Li Xiang said fiercely: "Give all the elites and set out to Xiaogan! You have to choose carefully. It is best to choose a war-resistant army from the former Hubei New Army with the best combat effectiveness. The newly recruited army and the local miscellaneous army can't be idle. They can do their best to destroy the railway transportation of the Beiyang Army and pull out the station of the railway line.

On a cold night with wind and rain, Li Xiang couldn't sleep alone. Huang Xing held a banquet in Xiaogan's government, and Yuan Shikai also set up a small banquet in Liyuan, Xinyang.

Yuan Shikai and his counselors had sex with each other, laughing about the ups and downs outside the small building.

Yuan Shikai was in high spirits. He seemed to be in a good mood. He summoned Yang Du and other counselors to the night banquet, which showed that he was very interested. He asked Yang Du with a smile, "Huang Xing, are you familiar with him?"

Although Yang Du was regarded as a famous man in the world, Yuan Shikai was not crazy at all and replied respectfully, "Although he is from Hunan at the same time, he is not familiar with it. The Hunan revolutionaries didn't have a good impression of me. I remember that the last time I went to Changsha, they planned to beat me up. It was because I saw something wrong and hid in the British embassy before I escaped.

He knows Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen very well. The two old revolutionary comrades-in-arms are still matching. They are all about the past of Japan. Not many people know about it, and they don't think much about it in Lao Yuan.

Yuan Shikai laughed, and everyone here also laughed. Some people said, "In this world, you have calculated that your people have not been born yet."

This is better than any compliment to Yang Du, but Yang Du is also very conceited about it. He said proudly, "How many reckless forms are the revolutionaries? There are few strict plans and thoughtful and wise talents. If you are present about Changsha, you can naturally see through their little tricks. Just looking at the many uprisings advocated by Sun Wen, it is extremely casual, and there is no systematic plan at all, so the failure is actually a cause and effect.

When Yang Du said this, everyone here nodded in meditation. He continued: "The Wuchang Uprising of the party members was really an accident. The first provinces to respond, Hunan and Shaanxi, did not contribute most to the revolutionaries, but the brother party. Hunan even let Jiao Dafeng, the leader of the brother party, sit as the governor for six days. Although Jiao Dafeng is a member of the alliance, the Hunan gentry doesn't like his robe brother's habits and won't look at those mud-legged people in power. The six-day governor is considered to be long. At the beginning of the success of the Wuchang Uprising, there was no leader of the revolutionary party in Wuchang City. In the end, he could only pull out Li Yuanhong. Li Xiang's rise is an aus, and his grasp of the current situation in Hubei is also a wonderful one. However, it is precisely because what he has done is too deviant that the Wuchang Group and the Revolutionary Party Group can tolerate him. Without us to take action, there are people who find ways to kill him to death. Li thought that the revolutionary army could have been the leader. The fighting army of the city was destroyed by himself. Huangxing wants to integrate the two lakes, but it has elbows everywhere and does not cooperate. In this way, the revolutionaries are planting the seeds of their defeat everywhere.

After Yang Du's analysis, Yuan Shikai said proudly, "Huang Xing also seems to know that he is not the enemy of the Beiyang army. He, who had just joined Li Yuanhong's appointment as the interim commander-in-chief, actually sent me a telegram. At the beginning, I sent Cheng En to Wuchang to test the tone of Li Yuanhong and the revolutionaries. Cheng En said that Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren were there at that time. Li Yuanhong refused in person, but Huang Xing was more proactive.

Listening to Yuan Shikai's words, everyone here can't be complacent, but they also know that they are flattering Yuan Shikai, so someone asked, "I don't know what Huang Xing said?"

Yuan Shikai became more and more proud and said, "Huang Xing is also a good eloquence. He first talked about the brutality of the court. He said: The Manchurian court, clothed beasts, for 260 years, everything has been contrary to people. It is the place where the sovereignty of the Manchu slaves is covered, that is, the place where life is ruined. Then, Huang Xing also advised me to understand the great righteousness as a Han man. Anyway, he also said: There is a difference between high and low talents, and there is no difference in the uprising. The Ming Gong can't be, and he can wait for tens of thousands of thousands of people. With the qualification of Napoleon and Washington, he has made great achievements in building Napoleon and Washington. He went straight to Huanglong, destroyed this man and ate together... There was a rain in the sky, and the group looked up to the Ming Gong. For a thousand years, pray that you will not be lost! Hahaha..."

Yuan Shikai couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile. He was very happy. Everyone has the potential psychology of being loved by people wearing high hats, and Yuan Shikai can't help it. In particular, Huang Xing is a well-deserved second head of the alliance.

Yuan Shikai said proudly that everyone had to listen to the mind, and even the small building stopped breathing. Yuan Shikai said gently, and the raindrops that accompanied the ticking of the small building were also clearly audible. Finally, he laughed proudly.

You should also laugh with me. But everyone also sighed in their hearts. After following the right master, even Huang Xing thought that Yuan Shikai was Napoleon and Washington. In the future, these advisers and advisers would not be the founding fathers of the country.

Yang Du took a deep breath and said, "How is Yuan Gong going to respond?"

Yuan Shikai laughed again and asked, "How do you think I should reply?"

Kou Zhong thought about it repeatedly in his heart, and on the surface, as usual, he put on a respectful look. In an instant, he said, "Officially, with Liu Chengen as the messenger, he went to Wuchang to make peace with Li Yuanhong with Yuan Gong's handwritten letter. The condition is that if the constitutional monarchy can be recognized, the two armies will fight. Otherwise, it will still be solved by force.

The people here are all human spirits. They hear Xuan Ge and know the meaning of elegance. Yang Du stressed that the object of the negotiation was Li Yuanhong, either Huang Xing, or creating contradictions for Wuchang to help Li Yuanhong come to power in such a hostile way, or to stabilize Li Yuanhong's position in the revolutionary party system. The insistence on the constitutional monarchy is to test the bottom line of the revolutionaries.

Yuan Shikai nodded happily, and Yang Du's words were deeply in line with me. Does the national body want to change? Does Yuan Shikai really want to adhere to the constitutional monarchy? Yuan Shikai doesn't care about this now. However, there are still many Confucian ministers and counselors present who care about it. They think that since ancient times, Yuan Shikai is the Ming king in their eyes. If not, they will not work so hard to run for Yuan Shikai to become emperor, build momentum and give advice.

I have asked the Chinese emperor here, "If the civilian army is stubborn, do you really want to agree to the Republic?"

For the thoughts of these counselors, Yuan Shikai is full of fire. Even in front of these confidants, he could become hypocritical and even said, "Where, where." Since the policy of peace was determined, someone has asked him like this. He always answers everyone like this, and then continues, "However, the southern provinces have become chaotic one after another. The military strength I have at hand is just like this. I can only suppress, caress, and use it together!" But to make peace, the first meeting, Li Yuanhong's tone is very resolute, and he must implement a republic. I want to be favored by the court, and I can only be loyal and patriotic. In the sake of the court, can I follow them and carry the court? Now the Southern People's Party is very rampant. We just want to think of a plan to ensure the integrity of society.

"So, in the opinion of the Prime Minister, what kind of national body should we implement?" Some people are so serious that they have to make a more specific answer by this important person. In fact, they think that if the monarchy can establish a constitution, these founding ministers who follow Yuan Shikai and get a hereditary title, it will be a good thing for thousands of generations. If there is republican democracy, these benefits will not exist.

"Alas!" Yuan Shikai sighed for a long breath, "As soon as the imperial court is the most important, I think it is most appropriate to implement a constitutional monarchy."

Yuan Shikai said that even if the monarch is constitutional, the throne should take its own seat. Three years ago, Zaifeng had already issued an edict to 'effectively prepare for constitutional government'. Yuan Shikai, who was a treacherous man, decided to carry him out as a mantra to publicly answer the general public opinion after he returned to Beijing, which was neither excessive nor conservative.

In fact, Yuan Shikai's real intention is that even if the ghost is like Yang Du, he can only guess a little bit. Perhaps, only the time traveler Li wants to know Yuan Shikai's thoughts best. From the first time he arrived in Xinyang, Yuan Shikai repeatedly asked Feng Guozhang from the side to fight against the arrogance of the revolutionary army, and made Liu Chengen negotiate with Li Yuanhong.

Yuan Shikai's abacus is to use Feng Guozhang to suppress the arrogance of the Hubei Revolutionary Army, force the revolutionaries to come to the negotiating table, and offer the obedient hands of the fruits of the revolution. On the one hand, he asked the revolutionary people's army in the south to suppress the court and achieve the purpose of forcing the Qing Emperor to abdicate. After a period of arrangement, he now wants to know the bottom line of the negotiations of the Southern Revolutionary Party. These activities were carried out in secret. Yang Du only participated in the planning, and the practical executor was his eldest son Yuan Keding. This boy is very talented in this field.

Yuan Shikai remembered his eldest son and remembered another important thing he did. First, he broke up the banquet and called Yuan Keding.

Yuan Shikai looked at the eldest son in front of him and asked, "How was the thing you did last time?"

Yuan Keding was very happy in his heart. He thought that he was waiting for you to ask, and quickly said, "The spy is here to report that Liang Bi has already made a move. Wu Luzhen will arrive in Shijiazhuang tomorrow morning, and there will be results at noon tomorrow. If Liang Bi is stillning, I'm still going to have a plan B to ensure that Wu Luzhen will not survive tomorrow at noon.

Yuan Shikai nodded and was very satisfied. He also knew the ab plan and double insurance. It seems that he learned a lot during his study in Germany. In order not to make Yuan Keding too proud, and did not praise too much.

Yuan Shikai muttered, "You have always presided over the peace talks with the revolutionaries. Now, in addition to Cheng En's Wuchang line, do you have any other lines?

Yuan Keding said, "I have a panic under me named Zhu Fu, who claims to be very familiar with Huang Xing. I am entrusting him to bring a letter to Xiaogan to find Huang Xing. But this person is too junior to take on heavy responsibilities. I recently contacted a big man in the alliance.

Yuan Shikai's eyelids jumped. He, the eldest son, has been wandering between the three teachings and nine streams. Maybe he really caught a big man. Yuan Shikai stared at his eyes and said, "Who? Dare to be a big man in the alliance?

"Wang, Zhao, Ming." Mr. Yuan stopped word by word. Speaking of the name, he couldn't help trembling three times.

"He? ..." Yuan Shikai inhaled and questioned again.

Wang Jingwei was arrested for assassinting the regent Zaifeng and detained in Beijing. Since the Wuchang Uprising, in order to ease the conflict, the Qing court accepted Zhang Shao's release of political prisoners, and Wang Jingwei was released. Wang Jingwei, a young talent, has been very famous for running errands and giving speeches with Sun Yat-sen. In the past few years in prison in Beijing, his reputation has soared. Mr. Yuan mastered these situations at the first time. In order to get him to know him, Mr. Yuan sent him 5,000 taels of silver through Beijing channels. At that time, two people were released at the same time, and they did not dare to accept it. After being released from prison, they all left Beijing. Only Wang Jingwei was single. He received all the money and refused to leave in Beijing. He was also promoted to the president by the alliance in Beijing and Tianjin at that time.

The eldest son said with great certainty: "This is also Zhu Fu's introduction to us. After he was released from prison, he often published in his fans the discussion that Beijing relies on his father not to overthrow Manqing, saying that this is a special road with less effort and quick results..."

Mr. Yuan also said too much. Yuan Shikai was very taboo about the statement of "overthrowing the Qing government". He didn't say it in front of his confidant Yang Du and other counselors. When his son said it to his face, he couldn't stand it.

Mr. Yuan said it well, but he didn't have any idea that Mr. Yuan's face changed greatly. He continued to say, "Li Yuanhong did not hold the congress of the revolutionary party members of the uprising provinces in Wuchang. Wang Jingwei is absolutely qualified to participate in this meeting, so he asked him to take your handwritten letter to attend."

Yuan Shikai stood up and walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. Mr. Yuan looked at the old man impatiently at all, waiting for him to come to a conclusion.

Yuan Shikai paid attention to his thoughts and said for a long time, "As soon as Wu Luzhen's big trouble is solved, we will go to Beijing."
