286 Ideals and Ambition

After Li wanted to kill Gu Zhongchen, the general staff of the Soviet army, he left angrily and had no intention to continue to stay in the peacock hall. Narcissus took Li Xiang's arm and walked silently. She didn't know what she was thinking. When she came out again, she became much quieter.

Li wanted to pull her to walk a dull road. Seeing that there was no one in the corridor of the cruise style, he whispered, "No one should know about the secret discussion between Liao Yuchun and Gu Zhongchen here. It is carried out secretly. Is there any contact between Tang Shaoyi, the general representative of the Northern Mission, and Liao Yuchun?"

Narcissus frowned and said, "There are three people in Liao Yuchun's group. As soon as they came to Shanghai, they went to the British missionary Li Deli E.SLITLE Mansion, the office of the Northern Mission, to find Tang Shaoyi, but they did not meet. However, if Yuan Shikai secretly sent these people to know that he would not sue Tang Shaoyi, there would always be a problem?

At this time, another group of four people walked into the corridor. The water fairy glanced at the corners of her eyes. It was Feng Gengguang, Zhang Zongxiang, Zhang Guogan and Chen Jintao, the representatives of the north. They didn't know whether they recognized themselves or not. They were so nervous that they hurriedly turned their backs and snuggled close to Li Xiang.

Feng Gengguang and others thought it was a playboy and socialite, and walked past them carelessly.

The water fairy came to Li Xiang's ear and said, "It will be so coincidental again. As soon as you have a question, there will be an answer."

Li Xiang was stunned and said, "What's the answer?"

Shuixian said with a wry smile: "The short man in the front is Feng Gengguang, who is the director of the second department and the director of the fourth department of the Qing government. He was sent by the Qing government as the northern representative to participate in the north-south peace. The other three are also representatives of the north. These people are obviously going to the Peacock Hall. Do you understand?

At this time, Song Que came to the side of the two. Song Que whispered, "I just turned around and heard the wind. It turned out that there were still several important people living in the Licha Hotel!"

The daffodil looked normal, and Yanran smiled and said, "Speak and listen to it."

Song Que said, "The representatives of the Northern Conference and He were entertained by the Shanghai Military Governor's Office and stayed at the newly opened Cangzhou Hotel, which is the Northern Conference and Representative Guest House designated by the Governor's Office. However, several representatives thought that the Cangzhou Hotel was not free, so they stayed at the Licha Hotel with us. Do you think the enemy's road is narrow? Then he said mysteriously, "One of them is still Tang Shaoyi's fellow countryman!"

"It's not just the four, is it?" Li Xiang exchanged eyes with the fairy and said with one voice.

"How do you know it's four?" Song Que laughed.

Li Xiang and the Immortal looked at each other in con't's face. If the four people had stayed at the Richard's Hotel just now, the situation would be complicated and the self-education would be unexpected.

"I remember," Li Xiang patted his forehead and said in a low voice, "I received information that there were several guys staying in the Licha Hotel. In fact, the representatives of the north make up the number. Now the people in charge are Tang Shaoyi and Yang Shiqi. There is no need to pay attention to these things. But who is Tang Shaoyi's fellow countryman?

Song Que said, "Feng Gengguang."

"They are both fellow villagers and neighbors." After all, Narcissus is good at intelligence. If she reports her name, she can recite the background of this person, as long as this person has a background. Tang Shaoyi, the general representative, used to be the minister of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in Beijing, and then served as an external servant. He lived in Dongdanpai Building with Feng Gengguang. Tang Shaoyi lived in Maxian Hutong, and Feng Gengguang lived in Magpie Hutong.

Li Xiang remembered that Lv Zhongqiu also mentioned this person at the same time, and said that they didn't live together after they arrived in Shanghai, but they were together every day.

Song Que muttered, "I know more than I do. Ha!"

Lv Zhongqiu's voice came from afar and said, "Marshal! The old bottom of the Lin family has been copied!"

Li Xiang shouted in a low voice, "Be quiet! Don't make it known all over the world.

Li Xiang knew a little about Lin Huiyin's gossip before, and he had also watched the TV series "April Days in the World", which really kept the dark heart of modern people's gossip. At this time, when he saw Lin Huiyin, although he was still a little Lori, he couldn't help inquisiing about gossip.

Lv Zhongqiu said in a low voice, "The Lin family was originally from Min County, Fujian Province. Lin Changmin's father, Lin Xiaoxun, is also known as Boying. He is one of the 11th Jinshi in the second division of the second highest school in the fifteenth year of Guangxu in the former Qing Dynasty. He is in the same subject as Kang Youwei and is awarded the editor of Hanlin Academy. Lin, Marquis of Fujian, is a member of the Wang family, but Lin Xiaoxun has been slightly reduced to cloth clothes, and he himself is really cold. Lin Xiaoxen was a teacher of a rich family when he was young. He once learned skills and was familiar with medical skills, showing a pragmatic tendency. He also does not imprison his family members with the dogma of "no talent is virtue". His wife You likes classics and works in calligraphy. Children's education does not matter gender. Daughters still enlighten boys, and they will be able to recite poems and write in the future. The course set up by the family school, of course, invited Lin Qinnan, a master of Chinese studies. He could not help but analyze the four books and five classics, and also hired the new school of celebrities Lin Baishui. He not only introduced astronomy and geography, but also detailed the general situation abroad. He even recruited foreign teachers Hua Huide and Sagazhi to teach English and Japanese. Although the atmosphere of the times has gradually opened up, it is rare for Manchu officials to study both Chinese and foreign. Lin Xiaoxun's enlightenment also benefits the younger generation other than his direct line. In addition to his own children, he entered Hangzhou's school and has his nephews in his hometown, Fujian. Among them, there are many outstanding people. For example, Lin Juemin, who was martyred awe-inspiringly with the Book with His Wife, and Lin Yinmin, who was one of the 72 martyrs of Huanghuagang together with Lin Juemin, organized an uprising to restore happiness. Built by Lin Zhaomin. Nowadays, Lin Xiaoxun lives in Shanghai and invests in the Commercial Press to help the modern publishing industry, which has always been the same.

Li wants to nod. No wonder such a family will educate a daughter like Lin Huiyin.

Lv Zhongqiu continued to say, "Lin Changmin is talented and intelligent. This young master, who was trained by the old government at a young age, is a scholar in the 23rd year of Guangxu. After that, he went to Toyo to study twice and finally graduated from Waseda University. Lin Changmin has gained cultural self-restraint at home and abroad, and has a wide range of political celebrities. His friends, such as Japan's dog Yangyi, Ozaki Yukio, China's Zhang Jian, Cen Chunxuan, Tang Hualong, Song Jiaoren, etc., all of which are prominent in the political arena. It can be seen that Lin Changmin already has a grand ambition to reform Chinese society at that time. When he returned from Dongyang, he entered the constitutional movement. In the first year of Xuantong, he was elected as the secretary by the provincial consultative bureaus gathered in Shanghai and organized a petition comrade meeting to ask the Qing Dynasty to convene a parliament. Now, he travels to and from Beijing, Shanghai and Nanjing, promoting the revolution everywhere.

"Is there a revolution everywhere? It's still a constitutionalist!" Li wanted to look up to the sky and hit a ha ha ha, full of inexperable wisdom. He saw through their essence at a glance and said loudly, "Let's go and eat something later!" Turn around and lead the way first, and I'm a little excited.

Each room in the restaurant is brightly lit, and the half porch around the garden is hung with crystal lamps every few steps, reflecting the whole middle garden as bright as day. Coupled with the noise of people, the atmosphere is boiling.

Li Xiang stopped in front of a door, looked up and took a deep breath before his mood calmed down.

Narcissus, Lv Zhongqiu and Song Que came behind him and waited for him to speak.

The dress up lady on the corridor is dazzling between the rooms. Seeing the four people, they all have charming eyes, but obviously they are most interested in the handsome Li Xiang, but they are full of jealousy of women for the beautiful daffodils.

Li Xiang turned a blind eye and whispered, "The Chinese revolution is supported by the coastal city bourgeoisie. Today, there are two results, one is the establishment of a republic, or Yuan Shikai's dictatorship."

The three of them didn't expect that Marshal Li was so serious about the situation that he couldn't speak for a moment.

Li Xiang sighed: "If Yuan Shikai becomes the president, if we calculate the gains and losses of this revolution, we will see that the gains of the revolution are completely equal to zero, and the Democratic Party's attempt to establish a constitutional state and a representative system is a complete failure. The only political consequence of the revolution was the destruction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, that is to say, the destruction of the traditional imperial authority and replaced by dictatorial politics. This kind of dictatorship, whether by the nation or by tradition, has no foundation, so China's internal wars are still frequent.

"Isn't it such an exaggeration?" Narcissus was stunned and exchanged glances with Lv Zhongqiu.

When the wine and vegetables came up, Li wanted to pour a glass of spirits into the cup and drink it all.

The other rooms were full of laughter, and the sound of guessing boxing and wine was mixed with the silk bamboo string, making the Licha Hotel seem to be burning the blazing fire of life. Only in this wing, everyone looked solemn, and the beautiful maids did not dare to come up to disturb.

Li wanted to watch the narcissus fill the fifth glass of wine for the cup on his table, silent like a stone statue without any life.

Li Xiang took a breath and said, "When the Qing Dynasty encountered a crisis, Japan, which was well aware of China's success or failure, was willing to maintain China's monarchy. Britain and the United States are in favor of China's establishment of a republic.

The water fairy asked in a low voice, "For what reason?"

Lv Zhongqiu and Song Que looked at each other in con'sinuum. They couldn't understand at all and were speechless.

Li Xiang smiled sadly and got up with a cup. His face looked at the Suzhou River in Shanghai, which had a beautiful big pattern under the platform. He shook his head and sighed, "The reason why the United States is like this is because of republican ideology. It does not understand that it is impossible to suddenly change the political tradition of an empire of 400 million people. For these 400 million residents, the monarchy, like the family, is a system that is closely linked to all moral and religious concepts in China. Britain is probably so because it knows that the collapse of the imperial system will weaken China and make it unable to resist Western imperialism.

The Narcissus' chest was pressed like a thousand pounds of heavy stones, and he said sadly with difficulty breathing: "If a republic is formed by coastal provinces, with the support of the bourgeoisie and intellectuals concentrated in the open port, this republic may still be successful?" Isn't it?"

Li Xiang shook his head and said, "No! The great powers are very reluctant to recognize such a republic composed of these provinces and built in Nanjing. Instead, they will help Yuan Shikai and make him rebuild China's unity with dictatorial politics. Moreover, the Chinese revolution is done by a very small number of people who are keen on Western ideas and has nothing to do with the people. The masses of the people in mainland China are farmers. They have no idea what the representative system is. They have no interest in the personal freedom advocated by the revolutionaries and the national revolution. They have no national spirit or contact with foreign countries, so it is impossible to use it as the basis for the establishment of a democratic republic. As long as Yuan Shikai smashes the Democratic Party formed by the representatives of the South, the Republic will break with the free system and become Yuan Shikai's dictatorship.

"Why are you so taboo about Yuan's country?"

Li Xiang was silent for a while. History hasn't happened yet. No one will believe him when he says it, and he may also call him a madman, although he has been scolded as a madman. He said dementally, "Yuan Shikai has political experience and technology, understands the history of the past, and knows how to best estimate the situation at that time and use them for himself. He mastered everything that the revolutionaries lacked, but he lacked revolutionary ideals and sense of responsibility. His actions do not serve any ideas and higher purposes, but only take his own ambitions and his own power wishes as the norm for his actions.
