319 Tongue Battle Xiyin Hall
Everyone saw that this rude Marshal Li was an unbred ruffian, but Sun Yat-sen did not see it this way. He frowned deeply and said, "After learning about the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, I also thought that this success was a blessing... If the governor of Huguang, Rui Li, the eighth town, Zhang Biao, did not leave, and Li Yuanhong, who was not the governor of Hubei, then the commanders of the Qing army at all levels would not have soared far away, and the officials of the Man court would not be independent one after another, and the local government The government can still control the situation. Therefore, only more than two months later, 13 provinces in the south have become independent. Now that I think about it, I really feel like a separate world, but I am also worried that the success of the Wuchang Uprising is too rapid. The Chinese people have not yet known the successors of our party and the value of the republic. The revolutionary regime will face the bad warlords, corrupt bureaucrats and soil left by the Qing Dynasty. Rich ruffians and others, if they can't quickly eradicate such residual poison, and there will be no end to the misfortunes of the Republic of China..." Sun Yat-sen suddenly smiled when he said this, "However, whether it is war or peace, whether it is happiness or worry, the new era has begun."
Zhao Fengchang smiled and said confidently, "Of course, Mr. Sun. Sun, after attracting the attention of Sun and everyone's attention. But we also have to assume that if there is no North-South peace, but because of the fact of the republican political system, what will happen if there is a civil war between the Qing Dynasty and Yuan Shikai and the Nanjing Republican Government? However, judging from Yuan Shikai's public opposition to the republic, the constitutional monarchy and the assassination of the revolutionary Wu Luzhen, the war is probably inevitable, and the outcome is probably unpredictable. The war has been delayed for a long time, and it is one thing for the people to live, and it will attract outsiders to interfere like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom..."
Li Xiang scolded in his heart. Everyone knew that Sun Yat-sen had been following the righteous strategy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It was really too much for Zhao Fengchang to expose Sun Yat-sen's scars. In addition, what the Alliance members are most afraid of is the imperialist interference caused by the extension of the revolutionary war. Therefore, when they see the support of the imperialist powers for Yuan Shikai, they think that Yuan can "do the interference of outsiders" and quickly establish the democratic republic they have longed for.
Sun Yat-sen's face showed indignation, but he couldn't find words to refute for a moment.
Li Xiangxian can't tolerate Sun Yat-sen's default of Zhao Fengchang's crookedness and sneered, "Even if there is a civil war, at least on the revolutionary issue, this is a rivalment between us and Yuan Shikai's will. This is the most basic test of the Chinese revolution, and it also tells Yuan Shikai that we are ready for the blood of sacrifice at any time! Even if you think of taking ten thousand steps back, the consequence of not pushing 'Yuan' is that this battle must be fought, and there is a great possibility of Polish humiliation. Do we have the will to bear this? I admit that your idea is realistic. It's like you go to the park with your wife, and the gangsters force you to take your money with a knife, and you put up with it. However, the gangster did not stop. He motioned you to get out of here and coerced your wife to go into the dense forest. At this time, you know that resistance can only bleed in vain - however, the feelings of benevolence make you resist and bleed. It is difficult for ordinary people to identify this as a kind of wisdom, but they don't know that bloodshed is also a deterrent! Bleeding will make the gangster's ** happiness fade away, and the bloodshed will arouse the wife's brave heart. As a result, she may escape bad luck or eliminate her sense of shame with a sad heart of self-respect. Bleeding will avenge the gangster in the coming years, and it will oppress the evildoers in fate. Therefore, when we should correct the stray of some forces in the south with frankness and strength, we should turn our heads and look into the eyes of the foreign devils and shout like this: Do you dare?!"
Sun Yat-sen and Hu Hanmin praised him in their hearts. This son is indeed extraordinary, and his eloquence is not inferior to Wang Jingwei.
When everyone thought that Zhao Fengchang had no words to say, Zhao Fengchang smiled and said, "Of course, Marshal Li's words are very reasonable, but the focus is still based on countless bloody sacrifices. How can you know that such sacrifices are the most unwise and meaningless! And it is most beneficial to use Yuan's power to overthrow the Qing court and establish the Republic of China. Why not do this? Not long after Wuchang's righteousness, the English newspaper Minli Daily said in a news report entitled "Europe's Telegraph on the Chinese Revolution": "Daily Mirror", London Evening News and other newspapers have declared that Mr. Sun has elected Yuan Shikai as the first president. At this time, public opinion is very much in favor of Yuan Shikai's alliance with the Revolutionary Party, and hopes that Sun will not miss the hatred of the past. Yuan should help him succeed, Yunyun.
Minli Daily is a British newspaper that enjoys the greatest aggressive rights in China.
Sun Yat-sen's face changed, and he snorted coldly and said, "The words of foreign newspapers are groundless. At that time, I was still in the United States, and I had not elected Yuan Shikai as the first president at all. Some British newspapers publicized so publicly, which is pure rumor-mongering."
Sun Yat-sen's personal refutation of rumors can be said to be reasonable, but although he did have Yuan Shikai's unreliable remarks before, "Therefore, he used it to overthrow the aristocratic Manchuria, which has been autocracy for more than 260 years", and now it is not convincing enough to jump out to avoid it.
Li Xiangxin can't say something wrong. Sun Yat-sen did say something inappropriate because he was overseas and didn't know the domestic situation, but the situation has changed from time to time.
"The reason why British newspapers publicize so is not accidental, but eager to launch its new agent in China to protect its aggressive rights and interests in China and avoid the damage of the revolution." The eager Li Xiang no matter how novel the words he used were or how much they understood, he just searched for information about Britain's response to the 1911 Revolution at that time.
"... Britain is the imperialists with the greatest aggressive rights in China. Its total trade in China, including Hong Kong, exceeds the combined trade of other imperialist countries in China. The Yangtze River Basin, which has been swept by the revolutionary trend, happens to be the traditional sphere of influence of Britain. It has invested 3/4 of its investment in this region in China. Therefore, after the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, Britain was eager to calm down as soon as possible. However, how can the old order disrupted by the revolution be quickly restored? Direct troops to interfere?"
Li wanted to make an inquiry and asked himself: "According to the European situation, it realizes that it is unfavorable to do so, because doing so means declaring war on the Chinese people, and now Europe is already a bucket of explosives. In order to prevent the rise of Germany, he can't deploy many troops at home. In addition to endangering the lives and property of its subjects in China, its military strength can't save Manting at all. Therefore, it is not Britain that is cheaper to start a war with China, but Russia and Japan, which are close to China.
So how can we not take the risk of military intervention, but also quickly restore the old order disrupted by the revolution? In the view of the British government, the best way is to let Yuan Shikai come out to clean up the situation. This is because it believes that Yuan Shikai was the most powerful person in China at that time who was capable of maintaining the old order. In fact, in the battle of Gengzi, Yuan Shikai's actions in Shandong were praised by the foreign devils. He served as the Minister of Beiyang and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, promoted the new policy internally, connected with the United Kingdom and the United States, and became famous day by day. After the deposed, the Qing government was getting worse and worse. Britain and the United States had no hope for the Qing Dynasty, but they did not want the revolutionary party to gain power and hoped that Yuan Shikai would come to power again.
When Yuan Shikai lived in seclusion in Kakikami Village, foreign newspapers reported that British Foreign Secretary Gray said when discussing the situation in China with Japanese Minister Kato: I think it is desirable for China to have a better government. The current cabinet is weak and indecisive. This cabinet pushed itself into the abyss with unrealistic policies. Its activities may lead to a domestic revolution. Unfortunately, Yuan Shikai and his supporters, such as Tang Shaoyi and others, did not hold state office.
Li Xiang finally came to a conclusion: "This shows that long before the outbreak of the Wuchang Revolution, the British government wanted Yuan Shikai to come out to govern. After figuring out the will of the British government, you will not be surprised that British newspapers such as the Daily Mirror and the London Evening News have made the above-mentioned publicity.
Li Xiang's argument is not surprising a hundred years later, but in this era, it is definitely worth everyone's deep consideration.
Zhao Fengchang is a clever eloquent. He knows that this can't be refuted, but he can choose to avoid the heavy and light. He laughed and said, "I remember the short comment of the Wuchang Party members in the People's Daily with the title of "To Yuan Xiangcheng": Today, it is lucky to lure him, and the Qing court is the ruler of the soldiers. This is a meeting for a thousand years. People's hearts return to the Han Dynasty, and the public should not be arrogant and disappoint themselves. Although today's world cannot tolerate the concept of emperors of all generations, it represents 40,000 people with a graceful bow. As the first phase of the president, he is the president of the world and the monarch on the jade altar, which is the fastest. Encouraged by the public. When Minli Daily published the above short comment, Yuan Shang was in Zhangde, which shows that before Yuan came out of the mountain, the revolutionaries encouraged each other with the first issue of the big political leaders.
Zhao Fengchang Qiang Wen Bo Ji directly found evidence to expose the shortcomings of the revolutionaries.
Li Xiang blushed with anger and cursed, "Male Gobi! Niang Xipi's! Isn't this all made by Li Yuanhong, a fat guy, and a group of soft eggs from Wuchang!"
Zhao Fengchang said unrelentingly, "Following the above short comments, some overseas Chinese and international students living in Europe and the United States have publicly advocated that Yuan Shikai can be the president."
Zhao Fengchang casually pulled a hand on the bookshelf full of books and newspapers, pulled out a pile of Shenzhou Daily and threw it to Li Xiang. Li Xiang looked at it. On November 2, 1911, the newspaper published three telegrams advocating for Yuan Shikai to become president, including overseas Chinese in London, students studying in Germany, and all businessmen in Chicago. These three telegrams are:
Overseas Chinese in London sent a telegram to compatriots across the country. Public appraisal of national compatriots: the strategy to save the dead, but the Han and Manchu, the reform of the Party, the adjustment of the new and the old, the rapid construction of a federal republican power, and the preferential treatment of the deposed emperor, do not hesitate to lose time. ... Begging for hundreds of millions of compatriots, the military and the people are single-minded, quickly welcome the opportunity of heaven, abide by public laws, and quickly build a republic and constitutional state. Yuan Shikai's qualification is suitable for the president, and the external argument is also appropriate, so he can't enter Manchuria and disturb himself. Even if it is full of people, it is also appropriate. ...Overseas Chinese weep and blood in various newspapers."
Students in Germany. Newspapers: It advocates the self-opening of the National Assembly and abolishing the Manchurian Emperor to build a republic. Yuan Zhumintang welcomes it at home and abroad, and has been telegraphed to the Cabinet of China. Students studying in Germany."
Overseas Chinese in the United States, Chicago. Newspapers: Xiangcheng is suitable for the president of the Han nationality, and it should not be used by Manchuria. If you are willing to be a full slave, you will swear to be a traitor for three hundred and ninety-five trillion people, to thank your compatriots, and all the travel and aesthetic businessmen are the same. Official telegram of overseas Chinese in Chicago.
After publishing the above three telegrams, Shenzhou Daily published two editorials on November 4 and 6, respectively, with the titles of "Advising Yuan Shikai and the Governors of Southeast Officials" and "Suing Yuan Shikai again".
In "Announce Yuan Shikai Again", he said: "Manchu people know that his death is imminent. It is the wisdom of the chieftains in the past. They make the public view of the teacher and want to be the second in Zeng Guofan. However, they do not know that the current events have changed, and the Zeng family has been scolded by the world. Today, for China's future plan, for the life of all people, and even for the public's personal plan, reputation plan, and family's life plan, only unite the Hubei army, roll the flag to the north, sweep away the remnants of the yellow dragon's new army like a tiger, and then add the yellow robe to be the first president of the Republic of China. Then the Chinese people are impressed by the public and outsiders admire the public. How can there be a person in the world who abandons Washington and is willing to follow Metternich?
Later, on November 15, the newspaper published a contribution by Shen Duoshan and Sun Xingru in the form of an editorial - "The Plan for the Construction of a New Country" (continued) said: "The foolishness of servants and others is said that today's Manchu and Han people hold each other, and their backs and feet are important at home and abroad. Yuan Shikai should be promoted. ... For today's plan, only the alliance has reported to the independent provinces, and the well-known people are represented by the public. It is more appropriate to take advantage of the Yuan family to go north before going north. If Yuan Xing goes to the North Court, it will be another week. And today, whether Yuan's personality is compatible with the republican government or not, he will feel it for a while. If the Republic of China can accept the Yuan family, we can prevent the interference of outsiders, speed up the extinction of the Manchu people, and avoid the loss of life and spirits. At present, the most important method is also written.
Judging from its content, this article was written before Yuan Shikai arrived in Beijing. Yuan arrived in Beijing on November 13, and the latest date for writing this article was around the 10th. Minli Daily and Shenzhou Daily were both newspapers controlled by the revolutionaries in Shanghai at that time. From October 28 to November 10, they published so many statements advocating for Yuan Shikai to be the first president in less than two weeks, which shows that there was indeed an existence among the revolutionaries at that time. A psychological state that strives for Yuan Shikai and regards Yuan as president is the most beneficial to the revolution.
Li Xiang and Sun Yat-sen rushed to read the newspaper and sweated coldly.
Li Xiang's blood vessels are about to explode, but he can't find a rebuttal. Yuan Shikai has been blown into a generation of great people's hearts by Chinese and foreign newspapers. This also proves Li Xiang's sentence from the side: Heroes come out by blowing!
The official newspaper People's Daily, which Li Xiang spent a lot of money to fight with Chinese and foreign newspaper giants, is just a revolutionary legendary hero, Marshal Li. This hero is often called a madman by other newspapers, and it is still unable to reverse the "Yuan" trend blown up in China!
