305 revolution has not yet succeeded
"I never hide myself, and you don't need to beat around my words." Li wanted to laugh proudly, but then he realized how stupid his words were. There is a saying that money is not white. The alliance is famous for reaching out for money. Today, Song Jiaoren did not ask him for money. Huang Xing came out in person. Is he here to ask for money? Thinking of this, the sweat on Li Xiang's forehead came out.
"You are so flamboyant that everyone can see it." Huang Xing shook his head and said, "The most urgent, serious and thorny problem encountered in the formation of the Nanjing Provisional Government is the financial problem. At this time, it is possible domestic channels to raise cash, such as tariffs, salt tax, cents, Tian Fu, etc. Some of which have been controlled by the great powers, and some cannot be collected for a while. And there are continuous wars in various places, and the military expenditure is staggering. There is no storage inside, no support outside, and no loan. This is also the reason why I tried my best to attract the constitutionalists. I hope to use the reputation, strength and experience of the constitutionalists to alleviate the financial difficulties of the new government, but the constitutionalists are not active in this regard. However, the operation of the establishment of a temporary government depends on funds. At present, there are only a total of 300,000 soldiers in Nanjing. Once there is no money to be paid, soldiers will disturb the people at any time. All this forced me to consider all possible extraordinary measures to alleviate the emergency of the Confederate army.
It's just that Huang Xing doesn't open his mouth. As soon as he opens his mouth, his words are amazing. When Huang Xing said this, it made it clear that the revolutionary army was unable to attack the north, and perhaps even the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Government was difficult.
Li Xiang was a little stunned. He never dreamed that Huang Xing was so direct, more direct than Song Jiaoren, and he never dreamed that Huang Xing was so pessimistic, more pessimistic than Wang Jingwei, who advocated the theory of subjugation of the Northern Expedition. But Huang Xing can't be such a person? Then there is another plan.
"Sir, the news you gave is really a little shocking. There is no need for us to know about these inside stories." Li Dashuai smiled bitterly and said that he had figured it out. This topic was obviously a trap. Huang Xing was crying poor. He was not thinking about Hankou's money bag. He didn't want to get into it.
"Nothing, your strength already has the right to know all this. In fact, these things are not core secrets. Maybe it's confidential in your eyes, but at the highest level of our alliance, this is not a big secret at all. Do you know how much the provisional government's military expenditure is for a year? It's 50 million taels! Do you know the minimum amount of central administrative and diplomatic funds? It's 30 million taels! Do you know how much a year's fiscal expenditure is, plus other expenses? It's 200 million taels! However, at present, the tariff is only 30 million taels, and the salt tax is only 10 million taels. There is no other entry, and this money is still in the hands of foreigners in the banks of the four countries. Except for Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong, which have slightly surplus subsidies to Nanjing, other provinces cannot be self-sufficient except for their own withering taxes. However, as soon as the interim government is formed, it will face a huge deficit.
Huang Xing gently shook a glass of wine in his hand, looked at Li Marshal with a wary face, and said, "Li Shuai, don't worry. I'm not dissatisfied with your interception of Hubei tax, nor do I want to reach out to ask you for money. Even if it receives a tax from Hubei Province, it will be a drop in the money for the central government. What's more, Hubei is the most fierce battlefield in the country. The continuous wars have also caused the withering of people's livelihood. The two cities of filial piety in Hankou and tens of thousands of families are burned to Xianyang. After the war, it's enough for you to have a headache.
Li wanted to hesitate and couldn't say a word. It's really a gentleman's childish belly with the heart of a villain. Li wanted to feel that he really had nothing to say, but he didn't expect that Elder Huang Xing's heart was the same as the legend.
"The first meaning of the revolution is Hubei, the most fierce revolutionary battle is Hubei, and Hubei was the first to restore order after the war. The young man I used to see was Wang Zhaoming. Now I want to add you. Huang Xing's eyes looked at Li Xiang and said word by word.
"I now have a nickname of Li Crazy Man. Many people regard me as a mad idiot." Seeing that the revolutionary predecessors praised him so much, Li Xiang was very embarrassed and a little embarrassed. However, it's a little disgusting to think of the ranking with the traitor Wang Jingwei. But it is undeniable that Wang Jingwei at this time is indeed a superstar-like existence. In this way, Li Xiang also belongs to the Uranus superstar, which makes him complacent.
"Geniuses are often crazy!" Huang Xing smiled warmly.
"Thank you for your compliment." Li wanted to be praised by this, and he was also a little fluttering.
"However, although you can defeat the Beiyang Army in Hubei, at this time of the cold weather, I'm afraid it will not be easy to succeed if you want to join the Northern Expedition." Huang Xing smiled faintly, "The Northern Expedition will only lead to the intensification of the disaster of war, and its impact is enough to overthrow China. You think about it. First of all, as soon as the war begins, the financial sluggish, the term of foreign debt is forced to burn, and there is one more war between the north and the south, and the people suffer more, that is, there is one more layer of losses in the economic world. Farmers, industrial and commercial traders are often trapped in an uncertain position. The essence is consumed, and the vitality is greatly lost. This war affects the economy. In addition, thieves from all provinces have been swarming, and there have been people who have disrupted public security in the name of revolution. Because of the war, when the agricultural affairs are lost, the mourning is everywhere, the people are suffering, and the people are unable to make a living. The people's army originally wanted to make trouble, but it is appropriate to summon chaos. This war affects the livelihoods. Secondly, the great powers are neutral, and the Yin Lord intervenes, such as receiving arms, instilling foreign debts, helping to get the concession to revolutionize the party, occupying the customs power, and marching troops in various places one after another in order to have a robbery. The day before yesterday, I heard that Mongolia and Tibet pre-established the country independently, and the Yunnan and Liaoliao have caused troubles of the great powers. However, the anger of the Japanese government is particularly treasurre and the disaster of division. At present, this war affects diplomats. Finally, the provinces collapsed and were in a state of anarchy. Try to take the phenomenon, or a province has its own governor, and there are many government; or it may compete for sovereignty internally and kill each other; or it is pushed and degraded, such as the cancellation of Sun Dudu; or it is revenged, such as the killing of Jiaodu. Disturbance and hustle and hustle are in order. Although he wants to recover, there is no way to start. He teaches the Northern Army to tell the truth, and this war affects the internal affairs. One of the four is enough to destroy the country. Moreover, if all four are together, you have to be alert.
Li Xiang frowned and turned the glass in his hand without saying a word. He really couldn't understand what Huang Xing meant. Did he think he could convince himself to let go of the determination of the Northern Expedition? Didn't he have the ostensibly determination to carry out the revolution to the end during the day?
"Li Shuai, I know you are against the peace agreement, and you must be a male and female." Huang Xing smiled with a kind of compassion, "Have you ever thought about it? If the northern army wins, our southern army will be scattered and become unretainable. The peace that comrades hope for will be in vain. If our southern army wins, not only will the monarch be destroyed, but the Manchu people may not be able to do so, that is, those who are loyal to the Qing court will also suffer the disaster of pond fish. If a person's heart is not dead, the flag is the king of diligence, and the number of soldiers will be endless. When the Han Man avenges and his compatriots bleed, both of them will be hurt. And the eastern and western powers, the eagles stared at the tiger and refused to look around, when they took advantage of the gap and entered. The demise of the Chinese race is imminent. China will fall, and the misfortune of the division will come.
"I dare not disagree with you." Li wanted to shake his head, which was the same nonsense as the "revolutionary subjugation theory" advocated by Kang Liang. Now it is enough for the alliance to have Wang Jingwei to publicize the "Northern Expedition and the theory of the subjugation of the country". Now Huang Xing also has this argument. This situation is simply unimaginable.
"Li Shuai, I don't know if you have read the history of Poland and India." Huang Xing's eyes flashed with wisdom, "Do you understand what I mean, Li Shuai?"
Li Xiang immediately stood up and said to Huang Xing in the most solemn tone, "Sir, please have confidence in the revolution, confidence in your own nation, and confidence in the Chinese people, because our country is not Poland, not India!"
"The main reason is that the posture of foreign interference is too sensational. Although it is impossible to destroy China, it is completely possible to set off another wave of partitioning." Huang Xing looked at Li seriously and thought, "I'll see you alone this time. The purpose is to tell you to stay away from all the right and wrong circles!" Don't think I'm alarmist. In history, there are many upstarts like you, because of the excellence of their own strength. Maybe it's intentional or unintentional. Anyway, they are all sharp. Do you know their final end?
"For example, the two governors of Hunan, right, sir?" Lixiang's eyes met Huang Xing straight. Jiao Dafeng and Chen Zuoxin, the head and deputy governor of Hunan, died with extraordinary grievances! The relationship between the two and Li Xiang is unusual. Thinking of this, Li Xiang is also suffering.
"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." Huang Xing came close to his body and did not answer the question. He just stared at Li Xiang. It is one thing to be strong in force, and it is another thing to make tide in the political vortex. This is what I experienced after the Battle of Hankou. It is easy to say that it is easy for the old constitutional association and the old bureaucrat to discredit or completely disappear a new nobleman. Please pay attention to my wording. It is stinky and does not have to be defeated! There are many ways to get others out of the game circle. Li Shuai, you have a strong army, but this does not give you any advantage in politics. You seem to be very good at using violence, if you want to involve violence and vulgarity in politics. The old people will be glad that they have met an idiot opponent like you.
Huang Xing is talking about the infamous story that he walked around Wuhan and came back with the "often defeated general" and the "four legs" under Huang Xing, which also caused his reputation to decline now, and he even lost the battle for the position of grand marshal with Li Yuanhong.
"I never wanted to involve your circle. I'm dedicated to carrying out the revolution to the end." Lixiang really can't laugh or cry. He has no interest in power at all. He has always been a shopkeeper. The governor of Hubei is still a puppet of Li Yuanhong. Compared with a national leader, Li Xiang prefers to bubble girls and drink tea.
Huang Xing smiled and said, "I saw you beating people in public. I knew you were a complete chick, and I also knew you were a real revolutionary person. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have seen you alone today.
"I seem to have offended all the forces that should be offended. Gu Zhongchen, the general staff of the Soviet army, plus Wang Jingwei, the League." Li Xiang looked unsociative, "I don't agree with the peace. Logically, I'm not the same as yours. Why don't you have to remind me today..."
Huang Xing smiled faintly: "I said that you are a pure revolutionary I saw. I also want to remind you of this."
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment and said with a serious look, "Your generousness moves me. I'm sorry, it's up to the gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain."
"Why don't I want to carry out the revolution to the end... Hey..." Huang Xing sighed, "The difficulties encountered in the revolution are not enough for me alone. The North-South peace is purely a helpless move..."
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, and you still need to work hard." Lixiang regained his oily tone and stole a famous saying from the father of the country.
"It's mouth-watering!" Huang Xing also smiled, "The strength of the Hankou Revolutionary Army is too coveted. As a revolutionary predecessor, I really can't bear that such talented young people like you have withered before they bloomed their own beauty. If you want to revitalize the country, talented young people like you are the greatest hope..."
Li Xiang hesitated and said, "I may have a way to solve Nanjing's financial difficulties, so can you consider carrying out the revolution to the end?"
