290 years of loneliness

Li Pingshu, the president of the Shanghai Business Group, has already arrived in the hall and is chatting happily with several leading figures in Shanghai that Li Xiang doesn't know.

Several southern figures Li Xiang met last night are all there. In addition to Li Pingshu, the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce Group, Lin Changmin, Lin Huiyin's father, Zhang Taiyan, the leader of the Guangfu Association, the master of Sinology, Gu Zhongchen, the general staff officer of the Soviet army who was knocked out by him, Zhu Baocheng, the captain of the Nanjing Pioneers, Yu Zhong, the secretary of the marshal's office, and the paint. Song Jiaoren with a black beard. Of course, more people don't know each other. But if you click the name, Li Xiang will definitely know who it is.

Some of these characters are wearing Western-style marshal dresses like Huang Xing, some are wearing suits and leather shoes, and some are wearing traditional robes. In the whole hall, everyone is well dressed and shows their own identity. It seems that Hankou Li Dashuai, who is wearing an ordinary soldier military uniform that is very inconsistent with his identity, is particularly eye-catching, especially that he is not wearing a large-brimmed hat and a light red scar on his forehead. Usually wearing a big-brimmed hat, others don't care much. Now it seems that it is really too horrible. Why didn't the injury in such a place kill him? However, this Marshal Li is really young and enviable.

Marshal Li didn't expect that he was the latest one to come, which was really a little embarrassing.

"Come here, Marshal Li, the hero of our revolutionary army, is always the right of the great heroes to be late." Huang Xing knew that Li Xiang was from Hunan, and he kindly waved to Li Xiang with a strong Hunan accent.

"Ha ha..." Li Dashuai and Huang Xing pulled hands and played a ha ha. Marshal Li is honored to shake hands with this revolutionary predecessor second only to Mr. Sun Yat-sen in modern history.

"Gentlemen, this is the first shot we fired Wuchang's first shot. The newly born Marshal of the Hubei Revolutionary Army, Marshal Li Xiang Li!" The bigwigs on Huang Xingshang Beach solemnly recommended Li Xiang.

"Hello, Marshal Li." The big shots in Shanghai, including several people they know by Li Pingshu, all said hello to the Marshal Li. This kind of courtesy greeting is naturally a little painless. Several guys still show disdain in their eyes, although the news that Gu Zhongchen was knocked out of his teeth by General Li last night has been It has spread, but obviously it does not make these guys feel that there is anything to respect the famous Li Dashuai, because upstarts are upstarts, and rich families are rich families. This concept of family is still deeply rooted in China a hundred years later.

"Hall, my lords." Li raised his eyebrows gently and read everyone's expressions.

Huang Xing also introduced the big names here to Li Xiang. Li wanted to secretly analyze the power network and couldn't help but talk secretly. Unexpectedly, Yuan Shikai was not only powerful in the north, but also full of his chess pieces in the Nanjing government. Does Huang Xing really don't know or pretend not to know?

At this time, the Nanjing government, from the central government to the local government, from factions to the military and political circles, almost all sat south to north, believing that it was only beneficial to use Yuan Shikai to overthrow the Qing government in the revolution. For example, Zhang Jian, the first person in the business world, Tang Shouqian, the governor of Zhejiang, Cheng Dequan, the governor of Su, and other constitutionalists all took the lead. They have a reputation in the south of the Yangtze River, especially Zhang Jian, who is promoted by all walks of life as the leader of the Qing Dynasty. It turned out that Huang Xing pulled them into the provisional government in order to attract all parties, but they were all Yuan Shikai's sympathizers. I don't know when they would become Yuan Shikai's accomplices?

The history of the North-South Conference and Li wants to know something. Zhang Jian and Yuan Shikai also had a teacher-university relationship in Wu Changqing's army. Yuan Shikai sent Xiyintang Zhao Fengchang to specially attract Shanghai celebrities led by Zhang Jian. Later, through Zhang Jian's relationship, they became Yuan Shikai's counselors theft of national power. Although Wu Tingfang is a representative of the People's Army in Shanghai, the condition for the negotiation is to take the position of interim president for Yuan Shikai to coerce the Qing Emperor to abdicate.

This Xinhai Revolution has become very Chinese. The Nanjing Provisional Government is completely a combination of conservative contradictions in the social aspects of its political radicalism, which also leads to a variety of different interpretations after the revolution. Isn't Zhang Taiyan an example?

Later, because Zhang Taiyan did not become the Minister of Education, he attacked Nanjing. At the conference to mourn the revolutionary martyrs in Nanjing, he wrote a couplet: "A group of thieves of rats and dogs steal, and the dead do not close their eyes; here are dragons and tigers, which is a lie of the ancients." He thought that there was no reason for the alliance to exist, saying: "The revolutionary army rises up and the revolutionary party disappears." He launched the "China Federation" in Shanghai, calling for the establishment of a unified Republic of China, which was actually the object of Yuan Shikai.

As far as the situation of the provinces is concerned, Li Yuanhong, the governor of Shouyi, and Wuchang is in danger after the loss of Hanyang. At this time, Yuan Shikai proposed a truce between the two sides through the British consul of Hankou. In Yuan Shikai, there was his conspiracy, but Li Yuanhong thought that Yuan Shikai intended to defend him and was very grateful to Yuan. However, history has finally been changed by Li Xiang's efforts here, and Li Yuanhong is no longer influential.

However, the governors of other provinces, such as Tan Yankai, Zhuang Yunkuan, Lu Rongting, Sun Daoren, etc., are not the big bureaucratic local gentlemen of the Qing Dynasty. In the depths of their minds, of course, they feel that they feel that Yuan Shikai is better than supporting those who do not know each other. Of course, Yuan Shikai knows these situations better.

If Li Xiang did not travel through time and defeat the Beiyang Army in Hubei, Yuan Shikai's invisible power in the south would be too horrible. Huang Xing and Sun Yat-sen's life was definitely not easy.

Although 14 provinces have established revolutionary governments, after the revolution, the revolutionary organizations of the League can only be relied on by the strong supporters of the governor in the three provinces (Guangdong, Jiangxi and Anhui). In fact, the revolutionaries have never fully mastered the revolution, and they have no urgent intention to demand such an outcome.

Awesome! Marshal Li muttered in his heart.

"I thought you would miss this grand event. I'm so predestined to see you. I'll introduce you to the flag man's aunt later. After the fight, it will depend on your fate!" Li Pingshu joked.

All men laugh ambiguously, even Huang Xing is no exception. Who doesn't know the romantic reputation of Marshal Li?

"Real? Since the famous flower has no owner, how about you pursue it? Li Dashuai took the corners of his eyes and glanced at Li Pingshu, who was very on the beach and Xu Wenqiang, and smiled secretly.

"I'm over your age." Li Pingshu reservedly wiped his big greasy back, "What's more, En Xiaofeng is also a talented girl who is proud of being a waiter, and only Marshal Li's literary talent can win the favor of the beauty. She is full of praise for your seven-law revolutionary army occupying Nanjing.

"Can't you see that Marshal Li has such literary talent?" Gu Zhongchen sneered with a suspicious tone, but his words were still a little exposed.

The laughter made Li Dashuai stare at him like a knife and dodged the Soviet general staff officer.

"Gu Jun, don't be deceived by Li Dashuai's appearance. There are many contemporary sergeants in the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know if the poems can be compared with Li Dashuai?" Song Jiaoren elegantly kicked the ground with his bright leather boots, "This is just one of them. Marshal Li also fought a very beautiful battle in Hubei, and finally forced Yuan Shikai to withdraw.

Li Xiang looked up and stared at Song Jiaoren. Although he had a little grudge against him because of the incident in Hankou at the beginning, he would still be praised by him.

Li Xiang still remained calm on the surface. In fact, he was also secretly looking at Song Jiaoren, wondering whether this guy already knew his background and praised himself like this.

Song Jiaoren's eyes are still reserved, and no one can see what he is thinking.

I fuck your grandma, and Li Xiang scolded in his heart.

"Real?" After listening to Song Jiaoren's words, Gu Zhongchen only thought he was talking politely, and Duan Qirui was completely another set of words in the newspaper. So he smiled indifferently and turned to greet several familiar guys.

Li wanted to see several Jiangsu and Zhejiang allied generals in military uniforms left with him. This time, Li thought about the attitude of the generals in the revolutionary army towards peace.

Let's take a look at the circle composed of the big bureaucrats such as Dequan and Tang Shouqian in the hall. Although the revolution has replaced the long-standing feudal regime with a new Western model. However, it soon became clear that the new political system would not replace the dominant social celebrities and old bureaucrats from their dominant position. On the contrary, the old ruling class appeared intact and vigorously.

Although the Kuomintang are active, especially in Sichuan and Shaanxi, they are not enough to pose a serious challenge to the old bureaucrats and the leaders of the Constitutional Council. All these most powerful groups are famous figures in society, and most of them are gentry.

Since the late Qing Dynasty, these social elites in China have become more diversified in terms of their cultural style and economic activities. However, in the aftermath of the Xinhai Revolution, they still worked with strange cohesion and determination to defend their own interests. A few traitor and wavering elements were easily dealt with, and there was no need to turn to Yuan Shikai in Beijing.

"Mr. Huang! Mr. Song!" Thinking about this, Li smiled at Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren and asked, "Which of the three programs of the Alliance is the most important?"

"Eh?!" Song Jiaoren's heart suddenly jumped, looking at Li Xiang's smile was not good. As he gave in, he replied, "Please, Marshal Li, please - alas, my brother believes that, of course, it is not the average land right or the establishment of the Republic of China, but the overthrow of the Qing government. The requirement for action is to overthrow the Qing government first, which is needless to say.

Li Xiang frowned and seemed to know that he would answer like this. He also nodded and said, "This is natural. The question is, why overthrow the Qing government? Is it to establish the Republic of China? Of course, there are many people who advocate the overthrow of the Qing government in order to establish the Republic of China. These people mainly belong to the revolutionary faction. But there are more people who advocate revolution because they simply oppose the Qing Dynasty government. This kind of people is very common in all walks of life. They hate this government not only because of its decay and incompetence and the national disaster it brings, but also because it is mainly controlled by the Manchurian nobles and enforces a policy of racial discrimination. I heard some people even say that even if the Qing government implements democratic reform, it must overthrow it! We revolutionaries took advantage of the people's opposition to the rule of the Qing Dynasty to advocate revolution. This is right, but after I came to Shanghai, I found that the understanding of the revolutionaries themselves is almost no different from that of ordinary people. The revolutionary propaganda of the League is most impressive with only two points: one is anti-Manchu; the other is the glorious tradition of Han ancestors. This kind of propaganda has played a great role, and the storm of revolution is mainly agitated in this way. But this kind of propaganda has great weaknesses.

Huang Xing nodded without squeaking, but Song Jiaoren looked at the young Li Marshal with complicated eyes.

The young Marshal Li still looked at them with a smile on his face, but his eyes became as lonely as the vicissitudes of a hundred-year-old man, which seemed to contain many unknown stories.
