35 vertical inadequacy and conspiracy

Li wants to cheer up his ambition and drive the horse with a whip, just like rushing through the iron-like Xiongguan Road, running across Nanjing Avenue in the early morning and running towards the Presidential Palace in sight.

Miss Song, dressed in a snow-white dress, received him in the side hall. The face without powder is even more beautiful and elegant. Even if Li wants to have a deep understanding of her, he still can't help but want to have a full meal.

Miss Song said calmly, "Is there anything urgent for Marshal Li to come so early?"

Li wanted to hear her displeasure. He knew that she should also know that Sun Yat-sen had been so embarrassed that he could not get rid of it. He apologized and said, "It's not important. The Northern Expeditionary Army stagnated after capturing Xuzhou. I just want to hear the opinion of the president."

After the words, Li thought that the reason was far-fetched. Sun Yat-sen made a mistake in selling the country's sovereignty in order to raise military funds for the Northern Expedition. He exposed this incident, so that people took this opportunity to take the opportunity to attack the Nanjing Provisional Government by opposing the Sino-Japanese Han Yeping Incident, which led to such a severe crisis of trust in the Nanjing Provisional Government, which directly led to the stagnation of the Northern Expedition. He also Wrong. Admittedly, in order to obtain a loan from the Japanese powers, Sun Yat-sen did not hesitate to drink poison to quench his thirst, which was indisputable. However, Zhang Jian and others used this to wantonly attack Sun Yat-sen, but it was entirely out of the sinister intention of attacking Sun Yat-sen's prestige and suppressing the provisional government to compromise with Yuan Shikai as soon as possible.

Miss Song did not say anything, but frowned and meditated.

Li Xiang took a sip of hot tea and looked around. The layout of the hall is simple and elegant, without half a trace of tackyness. At a glance, it can be guessed that it is Miss Song's taste, which appropriately reflects the temperament of her scholarly family and the taste of overseas returnees.

Miss Song said lightly, "Is Marshal Li suddenly put such a thing on me? Does he owe me a reasonable explanation?"

Li Xiang has a headache. Han Yeping is related to the industry of Ezhou's lifeline, as well as China's lifeline. In recent years, Japan has used Han Yeping to purchase a large amount of coal and iron. Due to the Sino-Japanese contract and the provision that "Japan will not increase taxes on coal, cotton yarn and all cotton goods", Han Yeping has almost become a supplier of cheap raw materials in Japan. The first step for Li to take over Han Yeping is to eliminate Japanese power. Han Yeping must not fall. The Japanese have the reason why he has to do this. It's just that the result was beyond Li's control, and he couldn't imagine in advance to cause such a big damage to the provisional government. Li thought that there was really nothing to explain, so he was speechless.

Miss Song sighed, "Don't be embarrassed. I know your difficulties, and I also know that you have a reason why you have to do it. At least you won't use this excuse to attack the interim government and the president like others, regardless of the future of the revolution. It's just that the president is receiving important guests. If General Li ignores it like this, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Li Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "I'm in too much trouble. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Miss Song suddenly said softly, "Does Marshal Li think that I like Mr. Sun, but I just want to be the first lady?"

Li Xiang's heart is that he is indeed the first beautiful student in China, which is open enough. She secretly remembered her father Song Jiashu's instructions and must not let her know, otherwise she would be entangled by this ambitious woman in the future. She hurriedly said, "The young lady knows this matter better than anyone else."

Miss Song suddenly raised her pretty face, stared at him with beautiful eyes, and said coldly, "I just want to know what the marshal thinks."

Li Xiang looked directly at this peerless beauty for the first time. He resisted the natural reaction of ghosts in his eyes and sighed, "I support the free love between men and women in the new era, but I don't support the mistress to destroy the happy family of others. After all, I am a person with a family."

He also tried his best, and Song Jiashu should have nothing to say.

Miss Song's eyes held him tightly, and she still said in that cold tone, "I heard that you and my father in the Army Department talked in private, and we talked very speculatively. What are you talking about? It made my father behave strangely after he came back and said a lot of strange things to me."

Li Xiang immediately had cold hands and feet. Don't ask, he also guessed that Song Jiashu was not serious. After talking back, he immediately knocked on his daughter. There was nothing wrong with Song Jiashu doing so. The problem was that he was just perfunctory at that time and had no intention of marrying the Song family at all. He nodded at that time because he knew history, that Sun Yat-sen and Miss Song had no chance, and had a chance with the second Miss Song family who was still in the United States. So he promised that there was no need to do anything, and Sun Yat-sen and Miss Song would break up by themselves. But now he is enthusiastically inserted by Song Jiashu. If the ambitious Miss Song gives up Sun Yat-sen and does not throw himself into the rich man Kong, but to himself, he will have to jump into the Yangtze River. At that time, he only cared about perfunctory Song Jiashu, but he didn't expect to provoke dust.

Miss Song saw that his face changed. When she was about to ask, Zhang Jian, the champion, came.

Miss Song quickly stood up and sighed, "Am I so annoying?"

Miss Song looked at Li Xiang's eyes and made a complicated and difficult change. Li Xiang immediately understood that she confessed to Sun Yat-sen and was refused to be disappointed in love.

Zhang Jian, the champion, also came to see Sun Yat-sen. Miss Song was no longer difficult and immediately went to inform him.

Zhang Jian, the champion, met Li Xiang in the side hall and stood up with a little consternment and looked carefully.

Li wanted to rush forward and saluted, "Good morning, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Jian, the champion, smiled all over his face and quickly picked up Li Xiang with his hand and said, "Marshal Li, why is this? You are--"

Li wanted to know what he wanted to ask himself about coming here. He smiled and said, "Oh, it's not the thing of the Northern Expedition. Talk to the president."

Zhang Jian, the champion, was full of suspicion, but he did not show anything on the surface. He repeatedly boasted, "Let the revolution go to the end!" OK! OK! With you as a general in the revolution, the future is endless!"

Li Xiang said with a smile, "Your excellency is too much praise. It is even more idealistic to carry out the revolution to the end. Looking at today's posture, the Northern Expedition may be abated!"

It is said that the two foxes laughed secretly.

Although Zhang Jian, the champion, established an economic alliance with him, he still has an alliance with Yuan Shikai politically, which is like the establishment of trade relations between the United States and China, but still imports weapons into Taiwan.

Miss Song came back soon: "The president is invited!"

In front of the living room, the big and small fox made a hypocritical modesty. Finally, Zhang Jian, the champion, who was close to the flower armor, wore a golden black satin robe and a new curved and civilized bamboo stick. He took a square step, walked in front of Li Xiang and stepped into the living room.

Seeing Zhang Jian, the champion, came in, everyone in the living room stood up to greet him. When Jiangsu became independent, Zhang Jian first responded to the revolution as the speaker of the Provincial Council. A few days ago, he formed a unified party with Cheng Dequan, the former governor of Jiangsu and the current governor of the Jiangsu military government, and Zhang Binglin, a revolutionary veteran and president of the Restoration Association. Zhang Jian is a famous scholar, industrialist, leader of the United Party, and is an elder. Sun Yat-sen respects him very much.

Sun Yat-sen stepped forward, held him with both hands, sent him to the sofa, and asked politely, "What's the matter with you?"

At the same time, Li Xiang, a regular guest in the presidential palace, sent an old friend-like sign to him to sit casually, and Li Xiang also found a place to sit down.

Zhang Jian, the champion, sat on the sofa with his legs apart, holding the civilized crutches between his legs in his hands. He looked like an elder and did not greet the young people around him. He only spoke to Sun Yat-sen alone: "A few days ago, Yuan Weiting sent me a telegram asking me what I said to him this summer. Does it count or not?

Sun Yat-sen listened to the words of Zhang Jian, the champion, and hurriedly asked, "What did Zhi Lao Xia say to him?"

Li Xiang, who had just sat down, didn't listen to their nonsense. He looked curiously at a new face in the living room: Yang Du, who looked attentive.

"When I went to Beijing in summer, I got out of the car in Zhangde and went to Yuan Shangcun to see Yuan Weiting. We haven't seen each other for more than 20 years. At that time, he was dismissed from his hometown and was a little decadent. I was angry with him and said that everyone wanted him to go out of the mountain early to clean up the mess. Zhang Jian, the champion, said calmly.

Hu Hanmin sneered and said, "Jian Lao has foresight, and then he knew that he would come back."

"It's not bragging in front of you descendants." Zhang Jian knew what he meant and glanced around coldly and said, "I, Zhang, have no other ability. If you want to look at people, you are inseparable. More than 20 years ago, Yuan Weiting was just a scoundrel. If it hadn't been for the friendship of his old friend, he would not have received him at all. After observing for a period of time, I found that this boy was not an idle person, so I recommended it to Wu Junmen for Wu Chong. Wu took him to North Korea, and only then did he make a fortune in the court. Well, let's not talk about these old sayings. Zhang Jian, the champion, picked up the cup, looked at it, shook his head and said, "Mr. Sun, what kind of foreign thing are you? I can't get used to it."

Sun Yat-sen quickly took the cup from his hand, looked up at the door, and shouted at the door, "Yi Ling, go and change a good Longjing tea for Zhi Lao."

Miss Song answered at the door.

Zhang Jian, the champion, touched his crutches with his hands and said, "I came to tell Mr. Sun today that our Unification Party held a meeting in the morning, and it was decided that Yuan Weiting should do something."

"What's the matter?" Everyone asked in one voice.

Zhang Jian, the champion, half closed his eyes, leaned to the back of the chair, and sneered, "I want to comfort the court to persuade the emperor to abdicate. As long as the emperor abdiced, our United Party will make him the president. Let's push me to write a message. I gave a reassurance to the comforting: the first day is full retreat, the second day pushes the public, and everything in the southeast has passed.

Everyone looked at Zhang Jian and was stunned. Yang Du simply wanted to rush forward to embrace this famous man who relied on the old and sold the old. It was his words that provided a good way for the North-South talks to change from breaking up to achieving the expected results. Hu Hanmin and Wang Chonghui suddenly felt disgusted with this old man. Such a big event, without first soliciting the opinion of Mr. Sun, who has been elected as the interim president, he made his own opinions, and even used words such as "A", "B" and "all passed". Is it unclear to put the United Party above the League and above the Central Provisional Government and President Sun? It's too arrogant! It's so flattering to Yuan Shikai! The two young revolutionaries suddenly became indignant.

In the Constitutional Council represented by the champion, many people invested in modern industry and commerce while maintaining huge feudal real estate, becoming the embodiment of the combination of capital and real estate. They have always been hostile to the revolution, afraid that the revolution will violate the great powers, destroy the entire order of feudal rule, and worry that "the order will be broken and cannot be restored". It was only when the revolutionary storm quickly spread all over the country and the collapse of the Qing Dynasty was irreparable that it was forced to recognize the republic. On the one hand, the purpose was to sacrifice the Qing court and prevent the in-depth development of the revolution. On the other hand, it was to take advantage of the revolution, squeeze into the revolutionary ranks, seize the revolutionary achievements, and create a new situation that is beneficial to itself. Many revolutionary parties believe that their arguments with the constitutionalists in the past mainly lie in their attitude towards the Qing Dynasty. Now that the constitutionalists have expressed their support for the republic, there are no differences. In order to achieve the "cheap" victory of the revolution, some people even try to take advantage of the social status of these leading figures to "call the world". Some people saw the constitutionalists launch a coup, killed the revolutionaries, and stole the power. However, in order to maintain the cheap "victory", they were afraid that the constitutionalists would raise the "dragon flag to return to the Qing Dynasty" again, so "no one dared to oppose it". The political weakness and naivety of the revolutionaries greatly facilitated the conspiracy activities of the constitutionalists. Therefore, when Yuan Shikai came back to power with the support of the great powers, they immediately colluded with Yuan Shikai to direct the North-South peace debate and create public opinion for Yuan. Many revolutionaries were eager to win the abdication of the Qing Emperor and the establishment of the Republic of China, so they soon fell into their new trap and joined the chorus they called the chorus.

"I know that," Li Xiang frowned, "I can agree that Yuan Shikai can participate in the presidential election, but no one can guarantee whether he can be elected or not!"

Sun Yat-sen had nothing to say, but Li wanted to have something to say and a lot to say.

"Yuan Shikai has won the trust of foreign powers and can unify the country and ensure the consolidation of the Republic of China." Yang Du finally opened his mouth.

In this semi-colonial and semi-feudal modern China, the will of the great powers can easily influence China's internal affairs. The revolutionaries are eager to be "recognized" by the great powers, thinking that if it is not recognized by them, it will be difficult for the new republic to survive. This was a more common psychology among revolutionaries at that time. However, the powers did not recognize the new "Republic of China". Therefore, the refusal of the East and West powers to recognize the Nanjing Provisional Government and not to give loans to the Provisional Government not only put great pressure on Sun Yat-sen, but also undermined Sun Yat-sen's prestige among the revolutionaries.

"The foreign powers are your father, and they need to dictate things in China!" Li wanted to sneer and said, "I don't know how many people have died in one sentence. From encouraging Yuan Shikai to establishing the policy of Yuan Rushan as the president, it was determined by the historical environment at that time. This historical environment is composed of various factors and has a process of formation and development. Among the various factors, the most important thing is the support of the great powers for Yuan Shikai. The revolutionaries are extremely afraid of the military intervention of the great powers and believe that "Yuan" can "do the interference of outsiders", successfully build a democratic republic, and obtain the recognition of the great powers as soon as possible. The envoys of the Eastern and Western powers in China and their public opinion tools have always been releasing the air that Yuan Shikai is a "powerful figure" and "Yuan is the only one" to create public opinion for Yuan Shikai. On the one hand, this attitude of the Eastern and Western powers directly put pressure on Sun Yat-sen, and on the other hand, it gave a strong excuse for those who advocated compromise at that time. Li thought that he must reverse their outside thinking. If he can't turn it around, he can laugh at it!

"Yuan Shizhi will win the seat of the head of state, and he is willing to force the Qing Emperor to abdicate. Otherwise, he will swing his army and retake Wuhan and recover Nanjing. In addition to our new defeat, there is a huge gap between strength and weakness, and it will be defeated in the end. It's better to give in, but you can fake your hands to overthrow the Manchu regime. Wang Jingwei thought for a while and suddenly smiled and said, "The specific measures are to expel the Tartans, restore China, establish the Republic of China, and equal land rights. If Yuan Shikai overthrows the Qing Dynasty and agrees with the republic, it will be the realization of national civil rights. The people's livelihood doctrine of equal land rights was gradually implemented after the establishment of the republican government. Therefore, prolonging the war for the president is not the purpose of the revolution.

Wang Jingwei's words were talking about everyone's heart disease, and they all felt boring.

Li Xiang was the most careful and sneered, "Yuan Shikai wants to retake Wuhan and recover Nanjing, but he still lacks a good tooth."

"If you give in and ask for peace, that is, to show that people are weak," Sun Yat-sen couldn't help it. "In accordance with the spirit of our party's sacrifice, there is no retreat. Even if you get to the last moment, it is better to be broken than a tile than a tile. Why give in to the enemy?"

Wang Jingwei was not allowed to show off. He was an anguish and said harshly, "How can Mr. Ze want to be the second Hong Xiuquan? According to Nanjing, he is called the emperor to entertain himself, violating the oath of expelling the salams."

After listening to this, Sun Yat-sen suddenly changed his color. The revolutionary line he took has been plagued by comrades in the party. Now Wang Jingwei has come up with such a difficult problem, and the corners of his mouth are so angry that he is really scolded speechlessly.

Li Xiang's face did not change and said, "Hong Xiuquan of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has no way. We will definitely get through." To borrow the words of a great man, I don't believe in evil in my life, and it's all about success or failure.

Wang Jingwei smiled coldly and ignored Li Xiang at all. He just said to Sun Yat-sen, "This time, based on his advantage, he can stop. He voluntarily returned to the army to force the Qing court. It was the north that gave in to me, not that I asked him for peace, and there would be a public opinion in the future. If you don't plan for yourself, why don't you follow the example of Yao Shun? It's better to have Tang Wu in the world, and you can avoid the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. I think this is a comprehensive solution, and we can't prestain presumps to mislead the overall situation. Do you think so, sir?

Sun Yat-sen heard this, and a sense of sadness arose spontaneously. This incident fully shows that many people in the revolutionary army only know one national revolution but nothing else. They think that as long as the Manchu emperor is overthrown, all problems in China will be solved. The revolutionary consciousness is pitifully shallow. At the same time, it also fully shows that the original mountain faction in the revolutionary camp will become more and more clear with the temporary victory, and it will be difficult for the upcoming central government to have a unified will and a unified action. The great disparity between the north and the south between the military and finance analyzed by Yang Du is also true. A decision has been slowly formed in Sun Yat-sen's mind: giving up the throne to Yuan Shikai, and exchanging the Wuchang Uprising and the independence of the 14 provinces for the abdication of the Manchurian Emperor is also a major victory. The real democracy and republic can be obtained by the subsequent struggle.

His words, which were not cold or sour, seemed to be praise, begative, sarcastic and provoked, which made Sun Yat-sen unable to cope with it. For a long time, Hu Hanmin smiled shyly and said, "Brother Zhao Ming said that when it came to this, my husband also said, 'Whoever can push down the Qing Dynasty, I will give up my seat to whom.' Did you forget the promise at that time?"

When the "general" was about to come to this point, Sun Yat-sen was also helpless. He laughed dryly and said to Zhang Jian, "I agree with the opinion of the United Party. As long as Man Fu abdicate, I will hand over the post of interim president to Yuan Weiting." He turned to Yang Du and said, "Please also send a telegram to Yuan Weiting. One is to tell him what I just said, and the other is to ask him to tell Feng Duan and other Beiyang generals that the interests of the country and the people should be the most important. China's only way out is democracy and republic, and there is no other way out!"

Li Xiang couldn't help but look gloomy and sighed in his heart, "The vertical son is not enough!"
